Allen Spencer, the colored driver Of the mail

some cases and rugs to Capt Brannon's house.
Then he brought some goods back, but could

but that some one else had taken them back.
He never took any articles to the house Of any

DETECTIVES SEARCH.
Detective Richard Weldon was then called to
tell what he knew Of the case in hand. He told
Of the recovery Of the bolt Of linen and the ar
rest Of the foreman Of the printing shop. Later
witness and Detective Lacey were delegated to
find ont about some articles that were missing
from tho weather bureau. They found that the
Junk dealers had purchased considerable prop
erty from the bureau The first time he saw
Brannon was at HopfenmAier's, and Brannon
was SO drunk that they could get nothing out Of
him. The next day Branpon admitted to Weldon
that be had sold some stuff to Hopfenmaier.
but said that It signiAed nothing, O. he had the
authority Of the Office to sell it.
Mr.. Weldon then went on to tell Of the I'M
successful search that Was made of Ryan's eel

got there, but they found bucket full Of nails
that bad evidently been drawn from boxes.
There was box Of books that evidently be-
longed to the signal service, the top Of the box
addressed to the weather bureau, and . new

The sxamination Of Mr. Weldon closed the
testimony for the day and The hearing was then
adjourned until this afternoon OF Z o'clock.

A Funny Thing About Tips.

Twas good deal surprised to read the
statement that at the new Waldorf hotel
Mr.. Astor, its owner, has inaugurated
the foreign fashion of not compensating
the head porter, and Of leaving him to
find his recompense in the fees he may
receive from the guests Of the establish
ment. It is only a short time ago that l
read that Mr.. Astor had endeavored to
break up the well established custom in
England of the payment of gratuities to
servants by the guests whom he might
invite to his London mansion.
This custom has always seemed to
Americans to be extremely obnoxious,
but it prevails abroad to a most annoy
ing degree I do not refer to the tipping
in public places. I now speak of the tips
that the guest at private house is ex-
pected to pay literally to the servants of
The establishment, and it is an expensive
operation, as every one knows who has
been through it. But tipping in a pri-
vate house and in hotel are two very
different things. York Mail and
Express.

The peerages which became extinct In
1892, besides the dukedom of Clarence
and Avondale, are given as the mar
quesate of Drogheda, the earldom Of
Charlecote, the viscounty Of Sherbrooke
and the baronies of Branwell and Win
marleigh, The lesser titles of earl of
Drogheda and Viscount Charlemont,
however, still survive. Between the
1892 and 1898 editions of Burke" six
dukes died-the Dukes of Clarence, De-
vonshire, Manchester, Marlborough, Rox-
burghe and Sutherland, one marquis
Drogheda), eight earls (Charlemont,
Denbigh, Eglinton, Enrol, Essex, Hare
wood, Leitrim and Litchfeld), three Wis
counts Dillon, Hampden and Sher-
brooke and 10 barons (Abinger, Bath
urst, Bramwell, Beaumont, Castlemaine,
French, Stafford, Tennyson, Teynham
and Winmarleigh).
Seventeen baronetcies have been Gre
ated, and three have become extinct,
while SO baronets have died. Two duke
doms and is baronies have been created,
three persons have been promoted, and
one peerage, that of Conyers, has been
called out of allegiance in favor of the
Countess of Marlborough. - London

Sandwich Island Girls.

The women of the Sandwich Islands
attire themselves in the holoku. The
tropical climate makes loose, flowing
gowns a necessity. The young girls
wear wreaths Of wild flowers around their
brows and decorate their bodies with
chaplets of green leaves. They do not use
gold jewelry, but ornament their toilet
with the floral beauty Of the tropics.
They are fond Of outdoor life and live
most Of the time in the groves. They
sleep in hammocks under the trees and
have their dances and feasts in the grot-
toes Of the forests. They have little huts
in which they dwell during storms, but
are rarely found in their cottages except
in rainy weather. They build grass
thatched houses and cover their roots
with rushes and have wide porches IN
front Of their doors to keep off the heat
of the sun.
They like to be near the sea, so they
can battle in the waters of the ocean.
They become expert surf riders and can
scale the breakers in the widest storms.
Like sea gulls they ride the tossing rollers
and smile at the oceans maddest winds.
In their little boats they sail over the
blue bosom of the Pacific and cruise many
miles away from their island shores.
Their little crafts cross the channels from
island to island and visit all the ports in
the archipelago. They are not afraid Of
the ocean solitudes, but are at home on
it's watery wastes and find delight in it's
expanse of blue. Kate Fields Washing

~ q
of hundred day, and Cleveland, ar
dent for civil service reform though he
protested to be before election, has
looked on with equanimity, if not with
approval. And when the Civil Service
Reform Association meets there is no con-
domination of this evident violation of
the reform principle, but instead a lot of
gush about Clevelands innate love for
the reform, and how he is prevented
from doing as he would by the wicked
spoilsmen of his party. Under these
circumstances it is not strange that many
turn up their noses when civil service re-
form is mentioned and sneer
Yet when we compare the present sit
uation with that twenty years ago it be-
comes obvious that the reform has made
progress. One fourth of the offices are
now in the classified service, largely out of
the reach of spoilsmen. There is a
disposition now to let officers serve out
their terms, though they be of different
politics from the administration, which
was not to be found twenty years ago.
And the mere fact that the appointing
power seeks to cover up it's infracti ons
of the principle of civil service reform by
trumping up or getting other people to
trump up for it charges of offensive
partisanship, shows that the reform his
taken sufficient hold on the masses of the
people to compel the appointing power
to at least profess regard and respect for
r.

Carlyle Harris is being tried all over
again by a commissioner appointed by
Gov. Flower. The legal rules of evidence
are not observed in the commissioner S
court, but it hears everybody who has
any bit of knowledge, direct or indirect,
that can have any bearing on the case.
We presume it is Gov. Flowers intention
TO get at the truth, but it is very ques-
tionable if this form of procedure is well
calculated to that end. The rules that
govern courts of justice IN the admission
of evidence are not mere arbitrary regu-
lations but are founded on reason and
long experience They have grown up
through long series of years and are
the product of the most acute minds with
the widest experience. They are deemed
by all courts to be necessary for the elu-
cidation of truth, and they cannot be de-
partedifrom in the way that Gov. Flower S
commissioner proposes, without grave
danger Of injustice either to the public
or to the prisoner.

We see no objection to the sale of the

1t must be confessed that people
have grown somewhat tired of disserta-
lions upon civil service reform, not be-
cause they do not believe in it's principle,
but because there is such vast differ
ence between the preaching and the prev
lent practice on this subject. Those who
preach the doctrine the loudest, while
ready enough to condemn violation of it
in a President of the opposite party, are
very charitable when the offender is the
President of their own party. When
Mr.. Cleveland was chosen President eight
years ago he took office with high pro
LESSONS of attachment and regard for
civil service, reform. But it was not long
before the offices were handed over to
the most notorious spoilsmen for distri-
button, and the civil service of the gov
eminent packed with Democrats, many
of them very inefficient Democrats. Yet
the rebuke he received from the special
champions of civil service reform
who were of Democratic proclivities
was very mild indeed-they roared over
his lapses from virtue as gently as suck
ing doves. Four years later, however,
they were brave as lions when it was a
Republican President whose shortcom-
ings were to be condemned. Last March
Cleveland again took office, making even
higher professions of regard for the merit
system than eight years ago. Yet from
the day of Inauguration until the pres
ent his time has been almost wholly oe-
cupied listening to the claims of the vic.
torioas Democracy for office, and about
all he hasjdone to attract the attention OF
the country is to turn out Republican
and put in Democrats. Maxwell's axe
has chopped off the heads of Republican
