A PARTISAN PUT OUT.
He Held Chief Of Division Place in
the Controllers Office.

Washington, June Secretary Carlisle
has called for the resignation of Col D.
A. Grosvenor of Ohio, brother of Con-
gresham Grosvenor, as chief Of
division in the first controllers office. An
effort was made in this case, as has been
done in others, to have the deposed chief
dropped into the classified service so he
could be under the civil service
rules, but Secretary Carlisle declined to
allow it., on the ground that he
had not sufficient places of that kind to
go around, and did not propose to dis
criminate. Opposition to such a course
early developed among the clerks. who
objected to the chiefs Of divisions being
dropped into 81, 800 places, as it particu-
larly barred all promotion from the lower
grades for some time to come. MIR. Gros-
venor asked of Logan Carlisle the reason
for his retirement. He was told that the
purpose was TO put in his place as good a
democrat as he was a republican.
''That will be hard to find" replied Col.
GroSVenOr.

Every good thing has its host of imitators;
every genuine article its counterfeits. The
imitatoIs always choose the most valuable
and popular article to counterfeit, SO that
when they claim their sham to be equal, or as
good, or the same as "So-and-Sos,"i the
public may depend upon it that "So-and.so's"
article is the best of the kind. The sham
proves the genuine merit of the thing it copies
and never has this been better illustrated
than by the limitations of Allcock's Porous
Plasters, Alloock's Porous Pasters are the
standard Of excellence the world over, and its
imitators in their cry that theirs is "as good
as Allcock 8" are only emphasizing this fact
and admitting "Allcoek's' to be the acme of
perfection, which it is their highest ambition
to initiate. The difference between the
genuine and these limitations, which copy
only general appearance, is as wide as that
between copper and gold. The only safe way
for purchasers is 10 always insist upon having

~, Sys gagged in lively argu
60 ments over the compile
ton oG the new West street school building
and offers made by the Shenandoah Feed and
Lumber Company as contractors, to do
certain work to satisfy the Board and become
mutually satisfied on what should be paid for
"extras"
At the meeting of the board last Wednes-
day night there was grand kick" over the
bill presented by the contractors for "extras"
which amounted to $5l8 10 and committee
was appointed to make skirmish for a
better compliance with the original plans and
specifications for the construction of the
bui ding The board, like the Council, had
its war paint on and was out to paint some-
thing red.
On Thursday the committee met the cou-
tractors and held long consultation with
them which resulted in the calling of a
meeting of the board for last night.
After the Directors had taken their seats
and were ready for business, the committee
on building and repairs presented an agree
ment signed by the contractors, and witnessed
by members of the committee.
The agreement set forth that the contractors
would agree, upon payment of $1,000 (the
balance due on the contract) to change the
sash weights of the building so that they
would work more satisfactorily and that
they would agree to change the porch of the
building, so as to make it conform to the
original plans. The agreement was also
given as a withdrawal of the bill for
extras" amounting to S51S.03,
1t was decided to accept the building on
the conditions named in the agreement.
The committee on building and repairs
then read communication from the con-
tractors stating that they had endeavored to
carry out the work in satisfactory manner
and as they had done considerable work as
''extras," they thought the Board should be
inclined to deal leniently with them. That
while they were aware that they could not
legally make claim, they asked that the
Board pay for he work and material which
the committee on building and repairs or.
dered from time to time in the construction
of the building 4 he amount asked wa;
$298O3.
The Board concluded that they had paid
enough; and as they had been kept out Of
the building for about As days, owing to the
contractors delay in completing it, it was
decided not to pay any more than the con
tract price.
The committee then stated that the new
building was open and lighted for inspection
by the directors.
The meeting then adjourned and went in &
body to inspect the new building.

1t is with deep regret that we note the
death of Robert Bruce Wilson, son of Hon.
Henry Wilson, of the Oaizea, of HoResdale,
Wayne county. Our sympathies are to some
extent prompted by the pleasant memories Of
lifelong acquaintance with the father of
the deceased, who was for many years en-
gagged in the journalistic field at Hazleton,
but more particularly by knowledge of the
fact that by the death Pennsylvania loses a
bright and talented young man who seemed
destined at some time TO shine among the most
prominent and useful citizens of this Com
monwealth Robert Bruce Wilson, though
but twenty years of age, was of unusual
promise. He was modest, unassuming and
thoughtful and always won the admiration
of those with whom he came in contact.
When not engaged in taking his collegiate
courses the young man acted as associate
editor of his fathers paper and he will be
remembered by our contemporaries as one Of
the most genial of the State Editorial Asso.
ciation's party at Honesdale Last June he
was elected member Of the association.
