A BELIEVER IN THE sporLs SYSTEM.
Mr.. DeArmond, democrat, of Missouri,
introduced in the House yesterday a
bill to suspend, during the first year of
each presidential term, all civil service
laws, rules and regulations. in so far as
they do or might, restrict or interfere
with the free exercise by the President
or heads of departments, of the power
to remove or appoint officers or en-
ployes Of the government. A preamble
to the bill says that no administration
can fully and satisfactorily carry its
policies into execution ifa large portion
of the subordinate officers are hostile to
such policies.

Judgment Affirmed.

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 1.-THE Court
of Appeals to-day affirmed the judg-
ment of the lower court in the case of
Garlic w. Harris. This was an appeal
from judgment convicting Harris of
murder in the first degree. The de-
PENDANT, who was medical student in
New York, was indicted on February
last for causing the death of Helen
Neal Potts, whom he had secretly mar
ried. Harris gave hersix capsules con
tanning morphine and quinine as cure
for headache, some of which she took,
causing her death. The capsules were
given her by Harris short time before
the day set by the girls mother for q
public marriage.

A RESOLUTION was introduced in
Congress to-day appropriating five
thousand dollars 10 the work Of clear
inc the Washington harbor of ice.
Washington is the capital of the coun-
try, and its welfare depends upon Con
gress. And yet that body has never
vet done anything toward keeping open
its water communication with the other
parts of the Union during the winter,
and often it has been cut oTby ice from
all such communication for months alta
time. For nearly three weeks now ac-
cess to Washington by water has been
prevented by tue rec, except by means
of the Norfolk steamboats,, and the sup
plies which ordinarily reach there by
way of the river have been shut off Ell
tirely and forced to adopt the more ex-
pensive railroad route. A powerful ice
boat constantly at work in the track
made by the Norfolk steamers would
keep the channel open for all other
boats, and relieve the federal capital
from its present blockade, and from a
similar one to which it is liable every
winter

TUESDAY EVENING, JAN.17, 1893.
THE FACT that Mr.. Cleveland has

THE FACT that Mr.. Cleveland has
left New York city aud gone to the
country, as reported, to avoid people
seeking Office, either for themselves or
their friends, re-suggests the old idea
that something ought to be done to re-
lieve the President OF such annoyance.
To be sure, Presidents, barring one adj
dress and two messages, some official
and social receptions, and the signing
Of the bills passed by Congress, have
nothing else to do but TO nominate
such officers rs require the confirmation
of the Senate for their appointment.
But the latter work of itself alone is
sufficient to overtax not only the pa
thence but the endurance of most men
and certainly of one who devotes the
time and consideration to 1t that MI.
Cleveland is said to have done during
his former administration. The Presl-
dent should of course select the officers
with whom he has personal and direct
relations, but the work of selecting the
others should be left to the heads of the
respective departments under whom
they serve, who should be held respon-
sible for. their dclinquencies. The
President could comply with the
constitutional requirements in the
clse by simply approving the
nominations made by his cabinet
ministers. The fact that the whole
time Of the President of nation OF
seventy million people should be con
sumed in listening to delegation, extoll-
ing the virtues of men who want to
handle letters, to arrest and prosecute
petty offenders, and to collect whisky
and tariff taxes is not only unseemly,
but positively ridiculous.

ONE OF the most remarkable of the
recent strikes in this country was that
of the employees of an iron mill in
BROOKLYN, who went OUT because Of
an order issued by their employers pro
hibiting them from going out after
LIQUOR or bringing it within the mill
during work hours. Such a strike nat
urally suggests to the mind OF every
reasonable man the idea that those en-
gagged in it either never were endowed
with common sense or else have lost
what little they ever had.

English boys excel all others in the way
they train their puppies to grow up and be-
come good dogs. Their mastiffs are the
most sagacious, their hunting dogs are the
most skillful, their collies heel" beyond
all criticism, and their greyhounds are fiees
past all believing. You should read the
records when the dogs race each year for
the Waterloo cup. When an English boy
trains his dog, he isvery firm with him, but
very kind. Young Johnny Bull never loses
his temper with his faithful four footed
friend. When he sets out to teach his dog
trick, he coaxes him untir;pgly and re-
wards him plentifully.
II doggie is out of spirits, he is allowed
to rest until he feels better, and IL punish
ment is administered it is done at the time
and not delayed until doggie has forgotten
his misdemeanor. Teasing Is never in
dulged in, nor is the whip ever playfulty
fourished to strike terror to the poor fell
lows heart. II it is wrong for doggie to do
thing today, it is wrong for him to do it
tomorrow. And good food is fed to him on
a clean plate, and he gets bones to gnaw
only for his amusement just as boys some
times like to chew licorice root or sassafras
bark, but Of course they do not want it
for dinner.-New York Ledger.

"a limp, wet and muddy chicken. 1t was
the cause of his trouble. for he had thrown
stones in the yard that afternoon and had
accidentally killed the chicken. His sister
had declared that she could not love such a
cruel boy. Then he had disappeared and
had been found stuck in a swamp.
When be saw his mother, his feelings
overcame him, and he burst into q loud

But" said his mother, 'you cried when

To play, you throw a rubber or worsted
ball at each hoop in turn. II 1t goes through
the hoop without ringing the bell, it counts
by fives, according TO the size of the hoop,
the largest 5. the smallest 30 But IL the
ball goes through and rings the bell, you
add 10 to the count. II it rings the bell and
falls back without going through the hoop,
count only 10. The game is 500.
Each player throws at all the hoops every
time IL is his turn.
This is a good play any time, anywhere,
and IL is the very hest rainy day game that
know of, in barn, or an attic, or the play
room, says writer in the Atlanta Consti-

boy in the act of making good throw. He

A Fine Rainy Day Game.

Hoop and balr' is very pretty little
game In which both hoops and balls are
used, but the balls are not thrown to be
caught, and the hoops are not rolled.
You get six Wooden hoops, all of different
skies. suclfs az will measure from 12 to 81
inches across. Fasten on each little screw
hook to hang 1t up by.
Next prepare a place to suspend the hoops
That may be a stout wire fixed across the
playroom about seven feet from the floor,
or you can put up your wire across the at
tic between rafterxat the same height, or
in the barn. Or IL you wish to play out of
doors you can have the wire stretched be-
tween trees.
Now, just where the hook is. fasten to
each hoop a cord reaching to the center Of
tie hoop, with bell attached to the end.
