Her Friends Do Not Understand.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 17.-Mrs. W. E.
Worley, a we'll known lady and devout
Methodist. who has been a confirmed
invalid, has astonished her friends by
claiming to have seen wonderful Wis
ion, beautiful beyond description, in
which heaven was opened and she saw
the Lord AMI the angels The angels
spoke to her, telling her she was among
the chosen. and that she would be heal
ed of her ailment while still on earth.
She also claims that Judas Iscariot
spoke to her, telling her that this was a
very wicked world, and that it would
soon come to an end. So impressed is
the lady with her vision that she has
dismissed her physician, and, what is
stranger still, apparently, she is conva-
lescing. Her friends do not know what
to think of it.

It Has Been Run Short and Examinations
Must Stop for Season.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE civil
service commission has taken the nee
essary action to cancel all examinations
scheduled to be held between March 2l,
1898 and June 80, 1898, in the states of
Missouri, Illinois, Ohio. Indiana, New
York, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho
and Wyoming, also the examinations
scheduled for Pittsburg, Pa, Garden
City, Kan, Grand Junction, Colo, and
Salt Lake City, Utah.
In explanation Of this action Com
missioner Roosevelt said that the can
collation. Of both of these dates was
made necessary by the failure of con-
gress at its last session to appropriate
sufficient money to pay the travelling
expenses of the examiners
When the schedules were prepared
the commission had barely enough
funds available to do its work. Subse
quently, by order of the president, all
of the free delivery postoffices were in
cluded within the classified service.
This additional work necessitated con-
siderable expenditure, and when def
cheney became apparent the commission
asked congress for 81, ,000,000 to cover
the time until next years appropriation
became available, explaining that the
work Of the commission could not be
continued without it. The deficiency
appropriation was not made.

WASHINGTON. March 17.-Secretary
Carlisle has declined to affirm or deny
the statement that the revenue cutter
Rush at San Francisco had been ordered
to hold herself in readiness to carry
Mr.. Blount to Hawaii.
1t was unofficially stated, however,
that the revenue cutter would beplaced
at Mr. Blount's disposal on his arrival
and unless arrangements can be made
for the Pacific mail steamer which sails
for China on the 23d inst, to touch al
Honolulu, Mr. Blount will sail on the
Rush.
1t will take that vessel about week
to make the trip. The supposition that
the Rush has been ordered for this duty
receives confirmation from the fact that
the revenue marine officials who three
days ago denied positively that any or
ders to this effect have been given are
now dumb as oysters on the subject.
