pecially does he insist that the young men must

remember that it is a vulgar expression.
Always says, "It is l."
The young men considered the professor such
crank on the subject that among themselves
they always called him Professor IT'S l.
One day his class was having Notification in
one Of the college rooms, drinking, smoking
and singing, when the professor came along
and knocked, for the door was locked.
'Let mo IN" said the professor, anxiously.

''It's meme. OF course" was the answer
"And who's me?" demanded the student

Terrific Dynamite Explosion.

Two boxes Of dynamite stored in the powder
house OF the Potomac Cement Company at Pc.
tomac, Md, nine miles above Cumberland, ex.
ploded Tuesday, and the only damage done WA
the wrecking of the shanty. Not pane Of glass
in the mill was shivered and the shock was very
slightly felt in that vicinity. The whole force
OF the explosion seemed to 60 directly down
the river, and In some farm houses east OF
Potomac panes OF glass were broken and plates
and dishes Jared from their resting places.
The jar was distinctly felt in Cumberland The
cause Of the explosion 10 attributed to rata
gnawing at the dynamite. The men ate In the
shanty, and the scraps from their dinners fed q
colony Of rats that took up their abode there.

Young Women and the Worlds Fair

To the Editor a. The Evening Star:
May l ask favor of you in the interests Of
morality and humanity? In letter from Chi
cago, written by refined and cultured lady of
high standing, l have the following dreadful
revelations of Chicago possibilities or proba-
biities this season. give you an extract from
her letter verbatim:
But read sermons in the Monday morning
newspapers, and all the awful activities Of the
devilworld, not for public exhibit in the fair
grounds, but for 'hells' secreted and protected
by the police. the hackmen and even the officers
Of the railway stations. These terrible revela-
tons come to us through charitable institu-
tons. phllanthropic clubs and from ne wspapers
that are fearless and honest enough to print
them. The women are trying to do something
and probably will be able to have placsrds
put up in waiting rooms at stations
to warn young girls and guide them
to safe places. But the revelations
are SO appalling and sickening it made for a
time the whole idea of a worlds fair a farce.
Seven thousand liquor saloons in the city and
commercial men now in Europe looking up
handsome girls. and all over our own country,
under one pretext or another securing fresh
subjects for these houses already built and
occupied and for those projected. All known
to the police the officers of the law and all suf-
fered to go on. The mayor (Washburn), to
whom population of women went. my daugh-
ter among them said in these words, 1T is
worse IMAM murder, and urged the women to
go on. said ;Eey would ind many allies among
the men and money to carry out their pur-
poses. But in few days another MAYOR will
be elected and very likely one is already bought
and paid for by these 1000 liquor saloons.
world s fair OF artistic, scientific and mechani-
cal exhibit, with moral environment of the
times of Sodom and Gcmorrah, is an anachro-
nism cannot think Of without supreme dis
gust and irreconcilable horror. sometimes
think it might be good thing to have the chol-
era come and sweep the whole city of the face
of the earth, and SO on the world over until
the last microbe Of this Internal prostitution is
destroyed"
Now, Mr.. Editor, will you be one to print a
warning to young women and to their fathers
and mothers asking them not to 20 to Chicago
without proper escort and guardianship? You
know that in foreign countries the young
girls are not allowed to travel alone. There
will be many men from all countries Who will con-
alder unprotected young women free prev
Then all these houses. with people employed to
solicit make the danger great. The lady who
writes the letter is one who would never allude
to such a state Of affairs unless driven to it BY
the thought Of danger to the young and UNI
sophisticated. She is one Of the most cult
waited and refined women OF our land. From
the Concord School Of Literature, a friend Of
Emerson and OF Cable, Charles Dudley Warner
and others OF our best writer's. What she says
Is the truth, and she must have been wrought
up to high degree of indignation toward evil
doors to venture q word OF this sort. 8. M.

10 the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Dear Sir: l entirely dissent from the opinion
that chiefs Of division should be taken from
the classified service. Such q course would
lead to red-tapeism and bureaucracy. II the
chiefs are to be kept for their special knowl-
edge, why not commissioners, why not Sec
retaries, why not the President? 1t il easily
seen where this would lead US.
As to the statement that no chief Of division
has signed the petition the cause is too trans
parent. II the present chiefs are not interested
why Is the matter started now. II 10 we'll known
that they tried to have President Harrison
throw the mantle Of civil service over them
without their ever having earned it.
We should have new blood in the service ct
some stage and think it ought to commence
with the chief OF division, who II the direct
representative of the executive.
Permit me to cay in conclusion that II this
agitation for permanency goes on Il IL my
opinion that the civil service system will be
wiped out root and branch ADEMooRAT.

He ~ One OF the Mem Mentioned for
the Supreme Bench.

New IoEg. July s.-Through the
death Of Associate Justice Blatchford
81 the United States supreme court.
President Cleveland now has at his dis
posai another honorable Office To yard
some member Of bis party. The fact
that Justice Blatchford was the sole
representative of New York upon the
supreme court bench makes IL almost
certain that his successor will be taken
from this state. There will lie
no lack OF candidates for the
place, and as the democratic
bar Of this state contains many
~ President Cleveland's friends, he will
not be worried by a scarcity of men
from whom 10 make isselection. When
President Cleveland hal the choice 81 a
chief justice in his first term Frederic
X Coudert was frequently suggested.
1t is doubtful whether Mr. Coudert
would care 10 be an associate Justice.
Judge Rufus Il. Peckbam OF the court
OF appeals is also possibility. and his
brother, Wheeler III. Peckham. is an
other President Cleveland. however,
Is just az likely 10 pick out some man
whom nobody else would think
about. United States Judge T..
fienry Lacombe. who was appointed
by Mr.. Cleveland. may be forum
ate enough &c receive the promo
ton. Judge Lacombe was formerly cor
yoration counsel for this city. and
has made good reputation during his
career as judge. Don NJ. Dickinson il
thought 10 desire a Justices robe and II
Is believed that the president thinks
kindly OF that ambition. Gresham
and Dickinson probably will be
obliged 20 wait for further vacancies.
WASHINGTON. July s.-The death IL
Associate Justice Blatchforl was dis.
counted 40 long ago by lis prolonged
illness that there Is little speculation
over hiz probable successor. Secretary
Gresham's name IL frequently men
toned. but though he haze authorized
the statement IL can be set down a. a
fact that the position will not be ten.
dered 10 him and that he would not ac-
cept IL II IL should be. r. J Phelps II
Vermont. IL also mentioned. but the
fact that the deceased came from the
New York circuit leads the best
informed here 10 believe that his sue.
cessor will come from that state. The
names II two distinguished democratic
New York lawyers. who are personally
and most favorably known b. the prcsi
dent. are spoken Of. and they command
attention. They are Frederick &. Cou-
dsrt. who was thought al one time 10 be
slated for the French mission. and
James G. Carter. who is Phelps and
Blo.lgett's associate a. the United states
counsci on the BehTing SEA arbitration
commission.
