terms OF the above adv, rtisme Mt
would be equivalent, of course, to q
proposal of marriage to Judge Roe
buck. This, in any other year, might
not be considered just the prop. r
thing for young lady to do, but in
leap year who shall question her right
to such course?
But see the cleverness of the Judge.
BY simply mastering up the auiac,ty
to announce in the advertising col
umns Of the two leading papers in
Georgia that he is anxious for wife,
which is an entirely praise worthy
aspiration, and which is the plain
English OF his clever advertise ment,
he has at single bound left the
embarrassing position of sutton and
taken the vantage ground of the one
to be wooed.
And see, too, the easy avenue Of
escape from the undesirable arpli.
cants which is left to him and the
embarrassment which is saved the
young ladies. While it will be trying
ordeal for young lady to propose
marriage evsn to tho man she loves,
in this day Of female stenogrnphers,
typewriters and bookkeeptrs there
need be no embarrassment on lady's
part in applying for any respectable
clerkship. Therefore, when a young
lady has become acquainted with
Judge Roebuck, Of the Ebert county
court, and feels that she is willing to
share tho honors and emoluments of
his oftice, she has only to apply for
the position of clerk in his court.
If the judge fancies the applicant
the bargain can be closed at once,
and the clerks salary remain in the
family. If, on the contrary, the APP
plicant would not be acceptable as
MIS- Roebuck, the judge has only to
represent the duties OF thu office as
being such that she could not gil
them, and regret he cannot give her
the position. Both parties thus es
cape all reference to the embarrassing
part of the business In the Language

writer's and Makes Them Sad.
"Typewriter's Stub Fingers" is the
name OF the newest affection on the
book OF the doctors, and it threatens
10 become one OF the formidable evils
OF modern civilization, says the Phila-
deiphia Record. The deformity has
oeen gradually introducing itself
among Its unconscious victims, until
now suddenly host Of typewriters,
fair and otherwise, have awakened to
the startling discovery that their con.
slant playing upon the little piano.
like machines has utterly destroyed
the shapeliness of their hands and
transformed their fingers into thumbs.
The first to realize this terrible re.
suit were the pretty young typewriters
OF the falrer sex, who beheld with
horror tho loss of their long, tapering
fingers, upon whose charms they had
so prlded themselves. Instead Of
their swee.ly moulded fingers, taper>
ing gracefully to the tips aud aristo>
cratically curling, what was their con.
sternation and chagrin to be struck
with the fact that long hammering
upon the little round keys had effect
ually fattened out their fneer.tips
and given each particular digit, above
the top joint, u grotesque and vul-
carly stubby appearance. The doctors
were Immediately besieged by de>
spairlng hevies of bewi,ching type,
writers, who hid their distorted and
fias.ened tigers in the depths of their
mits and gloves.
"Just to Think" exclaimed one Of
the nearly weeping young women to
her physician. ~ had such long,
slender hand, and was the envy OF
the nasty Miss @. whenever visitors in
the Office gazed on admiringly at my
fingers dancing over the keys. Even
my employer used to smile at
my hlmb!c, tapering fingers. And
now"
She had to bite her lip to keep the
tears back.
Her tale of woe was repeated sadly
by many young women to their doc.
tors and to their bosom friends. The
male t>pewriters have also become as
alarmed as their sister professionals.
Probably 500 typewrlters In Phladel-
plia have become thus unhappily az
nic,ed, and the rest are growing rap
idly panic stricken. The public in
general must feel an interest in
wondering whether the affection is
liable to spead, and with the use of
pewri'ers themselves, give riso to
future generation which shall be all
thumbs and no fingers.

The report Of the committee on reform in

ANY person merely employed as lAborer or

The committee IN the bill which they report
propose to do away with this exception. The
President is empowered in his discretion to in
elude these hborers in the classified service
and extend the non-partisan system Of appoint
ment to every class Of officials as Congress may
provide the commission with means. The in
creased efficiency Of the public service since
the act Of 1888 went into operation Is sufficient
warrant for the proposed widening Of the re-

The course Of the administration in the
Boring sea matter is now generally recognized
to be wise. The American contention is in
such good shape that England assumes a
pacific attitude and indicates her willingness
to submit TO arbitration both the question of
damages to the United States and the question
Of damages to Great Britain If, as the
previous correspondence indicates, Great
Britain does not hold herself responsible for
Canadian depredations, the proposition for
agreement touching British responsibility does
not amount to anything. 1t is a delusion and a
snare. But sincere agreement to pay damages
on award Of the arbitrator for Canadian
dspredations would be fair set of for the other
proposition However, the tenor Of Lord Sails
burys communication is friendly. indicating a
willingness to make concessions to come to an
agreement, and that means a great deal in a
negotiation of this kind. 1t would seem that
the affair is in q good way to be settled AMIGA
bly,, and it may be hoped that the craftsmanship
shown BY our government will result in the re-
public securing substantial results, even If some
Of the enumerated points at issue in the contro-
versy are decided adversely to it Apropos
thee points II seems strange that certain
critics Of the administration persist in holding
it responsible for insisting on the closed sea
argument. There is no reason Why the iudg-
msnt of the arbitrators should not be obtained
on this point or Why the claim to a watery
domain based upon our purchase from Russia
and long unquestioned enjoyment should not
be pushed for what it is worth, but for some
time this claim has been retired to make way
for the stronger contention, as our main re-
lance, that the destruction of The seals ia
against the public policy OF the world, and that
We have such property or interest in the seals
from undisputed ownership of their breeding
grounds and principal homes that we are en-
Gtlsd to protect them even in the open sea
