The new rule adopted by Mr., Cleveland'e
Administration of making public frsm
day to day the names of all men who
apply fer Office is regarded with favor by
the majority of people. Heretofore the
custom has been to treat applications for
Office as confidential communications, and
not to be made public except in cases OF
those who are actually appointed. This
rule was prompted by desire to spare
the feelings Of the men who failed to
connect with the office they were after.
As there are always q dozen applicants
fer every good position 10 the federal
service the number of disappointed
applicants is very large. But the
publication of the full list can do no
harm, and it will have a tendency to
check a great deal of the humbuggNry
that prevailed under the old system OF
secrecy and mystery. 1t may also often
prevent the selection of unfit men for
responsible positions. In the old days a
man could run down to Washington,
hunt mp his member or Senator and some
times, by a couple of days Of quiet work,
secure q prize. The first intimation the
people of his district received that he was
after anything was the news Of bis
appointment. The publication OF his
name in advance as an applicant might
have aroused sufi Gent opposition to
defeat bis aspirations. 1t is fairer to the
mass of Office seekers to have the names
of all applicants published when their
papers are placed on file.

A Rem arkable Find.

One OF the most remarkable cases of
finding has been recently related TO us
1t seems that some months ago. Mr.. Geo.
o. Conrad, jeweler, of this place. sold
beautiful gol watch TO a young lady
living in this county, aud the young lady
had the watch only a short while when
she lost It. On the evening she disooyered
her loss, she had gone from home across
field and ever creek to an entertainment
at a neighboring school house, and suppos-
ed the loss must have occurred during this
trip. Dllgent search lad been made in
the field through which she bad gore,
but the watch was not found. She bad
passed over the creek on q log which
bridged the stream. So the watch was
considered lost for ever. However, some
days afterwards as an elderly lady was
crossing the same creek on the same loZ,
abe made q misstep and down she went
f,ce foremost into the water beneath.
Her arms were extended as she went
down and they plunged into the mud in
the creek, and she clutched IN each hand,
as she supposed only lot of mud as she
arose from the water, but to her surprise
she found In the mud in one hand-the lost
watch. which was returned to the young
lady. much to her delight.-HdrrisOnJwg

Turning, they were confronted by three
masked men each having two revolvers.
There was nothing to do but submit.
The robbers compiled young Baieman to

pending difficulties However, am
glad to be able to say that the

There is going to be trouble at the fair if OF.
fetal Picture Maker Arnold and his partner
the son Of President Higginbotham, do moi
promptly respect the permits issued by the
director general to the representatives Of the
press.
Col Davis, the national commissioners, the
foreign officials and others are more exercised
over the high-handed conduct Of Arnold than
over the awards, or music, or similar distracting
questions.
Before the week ends the council Of admin
tration is expected to call halt on ths
''picture-making combination" which will
prevent repetition of the arrests and at
tempted confscation Of other photographer

marshals will be asked for to see that all per-
sons carrying permits signed by the director
general are not interfered with.
Commissioner Hundley Of Alabama, who was
one OF the Sunday-closing majority on tho
judiciary committee, says the decision Of
Judges Woods and Jenkins on the basis of the
national authority over jackson Park is sufi-
cient grounds for making all persons Interior

imprisonment after the commissions Judgment
that others besides Arnold could take
pictures and that the director general
had full authority to sign per-
mits The commissioners here point out
that Arnold and young Higginbotham are not
concessionaires. They are only employees Of
the exposition receiving a fixed salary and
10 per cent perquisite, yet they clothe them
selves with authority to arrest every person on
whom they cannot levy tribute.
