CHARGED WITH FORGERY
And Arrested by Deputy Sheriff Samuel
PIummer.

About year ago the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company became salts
fled that they were losing money through
agents at Brunswick who had taken
graveyard insurance. An Indictment
was found by the grand jury against
Frank Beaudry, the company's assistant
superintendent in that town. 1t is
claimed Beaudry's process consisted of
making out bogus policy by signing an
assumed name. After paying in the
premium PHYSICIANS autograph would
be forged and the amount of insurance
secured. Before the Indictment was
found Beaudry cleared out. But the au-
thorities have from time to time kept
track of him, and on Tuesday Deputy
Sheriff Plummer went to Lewiston
where he was joined by Marshal Lajen-
nesse of that city, and they went to
Lake Auburn where they found Beaudry
fishing with a companion. The warrants
for his arrest were read and he was
brought to Portland on the yesterday
morning Pullman. The case will be tried
in September. the firm of Drummond &
Drummond appearing for the insurance
company.

A New Patent.

Mr.. Clark, the well known piano-forte
tuner, has made an invention that has
given him a patent. Instead of the
wooden posts now used to fasten the
wires to, he makes backbone of steel
trusses which don't yield, and thus get
the wires out of tune as in other pianos
where the wooden posts are used. It is
claimed the steel ones are lighter, cheap
er, and more durable than wood.

The Civil Service system.

To the New York Sun belongs ths
credit of first announcing that President
Cleveland contemplates a complete re-
form Of methods of appointment in the
public service. The details Of the new
idea are said to provide for the estab-
lishment of a new tribunal modelled aft
er the present civil service reform com
mission, but possessing more complete
and extended powers, with the idea of
keeping such officials as are not chosen
by the people in Office for life or during
good behavior, very much after the pat
tern of the English system.
1t has been claimed that this was the
intention of the founders Of our govern
ment. Jefferson was the first president
to depart from this policy. He inaugu-
rated the system of rewards and appoint
ments for political reasons. In letter
to committee of merchants in 1901 he
said: ''If due participation in Office is
matter of right, how are vacancies to be
obtained? Those by death are few; by
resignation, none" But the system of
rotation in Office did not come into full
force until Jackson's time. He main
tanned that every citizen had an equal
right to public Office, and his removals
numbered far more than all presidents
together who preceded him. This doc
trine has been defended on the ground
that long tenure of office creates a
bureaucracy of officeholders who forget
that they are the servants Of the public.
The civil service reformers claim that
only a few important offices need be
changed with each administration in or
der to insure the adequate carrying out
of its policy, and they fortify their posi-
ton by other arguments which need not
be stated here.
The civil service commission was ap-
pointed in 1871, but as congress refused
to appropriate funds to carry the meas
ure out it had little effect. The Pendle-
ton bill of 1882 is the one in force at
present. Both Republicans and Demo
Gratis uphold this principle of civil serv-
ice reform in their platforms, but accu-
sations of partisan execution of it are al
ways made against the party in power.
1t Is hardly necessary to say that The
Sun does not favor the idea, nor does it
enjoy the confidence of the nresident

In an editorial on the subject of build
ing up our commerce with foreign
ports, the West Coast Trade says
The opportunity is offered for Puget
sound shippers to load our vessels to
the orient to their fullest capacity II
sufficient attention is given to building
up market. Thus far flour has been
the principal article of export, but
other commodities stand as good a
show for public favor If only demand
can at once be stimulated. Our fish
offer good opening in this line, as
shown by the following from the New
Westminster Columbian: "The enter
prising fish cutting firm of Wood,
Travis q Co. are preparing another
large shipment of fish for China, which
will go forward on the next steamer. 1t
will consist Of five tons of choice hall
but, and three tons of kippered
salmon Of the. finest quality.
Messrs. Wood, Travis q Co. intend
HtNtldl lblio vi hiPpNiNu
mon, especially selected, to Australia
by the first steamer Of the new line,
which leaves some time in June"
There is now no trouble about a full
cargo of freight in this direction, as the
company has been obliged to turn
away goods on several trips, but to
realize the full benefits to accrue from
this line, the Pacific Northwest must
send its products abroad and bring
back money to assist in developing and
enriching this country We have the
resources at hand for making and keep
ing this the best section on this mum
dane sphere, but more depends upon
the money to be gained from our COM
merce, manufactures, mines, fisheries
and like industries than any influx Of
outside capital for speculative purposes,
and every step tending toward the i'm
provement Of these is of the greatest
importance.

BOUND TO TELL HIM.

The horses had been turned, and the
State street car was about to start north
when a pretty girl sprang on the platform
and made her way inside. The seats were
full, and for moment she peered about
in helpless, nearsighted way. Then a
young man sprang to his feet and offered
her the seat he bad vacated.
"Oh, thank you, Mr.. Smythe," she
cried. 81 am so tired. have been shop
ping all day and have taken nothing ex-
cept a glass of soda water since break
fast. Isn't it lovely day? Don't you
think spring has really come? And oh,
have you heard that Ethel McFadd is
not only engaged but actually going to
be married? Now, don't lift your eye
brows and look incredulous, you horrid,
sarcastic thing-it's really true"
Pardon me, I-really'-
Eyes, indeed, don't wonder you look
surprised. wouldn't have believed it
myself, but Carrie says Ethel told her
herself-I forgot to ask whom she is GO
ing to marry, was so astonished. It's
all because Of yellow gar-something
gave her at Easter-for Ethel never
had a really serious beau in her life
How could anybody ever want to marry
girl with such ears? Now, don't laugh,
you i'll natured creature, / am awfully
sorry for her."
"T-that is" - he took out his handker-
chief and wiped the perspiration from
his brow.
Poor soul, how attentive she was to
Harry McPhlirt last season. Really, l
was nice to him just because felt so
sorry for him, he"-
"Well, r. there was wild look in
his eyes,"
ooh, yes, he did go there good deal.
He had to be polite, you know. Don't
you think she's good deal older than
she looks9 She must be awfully pleased,
don't you think SOP
"Ah, I-er'- he looked helplessly at
the door.
"Oh, it's just shocking the way you
make me run on-you're so sarcastic.
declare I'm actually afraid of you. It's
all your fault, every bit, for I'm really
devoted to Ethel wonder if she will
keep right on blondining her hair when
she is married."
Miss Edith, YOU
Perhaps not. Well, hope she'll ask
me TO be bridesmaid. It's so nice to wear
a lovely new gown and walk up the aisle
and look frightened, you know. must
go and congratulate Ethel right away.
Well, my street is next. Will you stop
the car? By the way, have you heard
whom she is going to marryT'
Nobody much, Miss Edith, said tho
young man, as he signaled the conduct
or. ''Only myself. Good day.

The people of Port Townsend owe
handsome support 70 the Daily Leader
Of that city. Its ability to "claim every

the Leader publishes the names of six

OF which 1t says: "This list comprises
the Port Townsend fishing fleet, and
nearly all Of them outfit here and sup
ply the local markets. Most of the
vessels are owned here also, while a
few hail from other ports on the Sound,
but ALL make this their fishing GEN.

Leaders list, and the third largest Of
the whole fleet, is the Bellingham,
which is owned by the Fairhaven Fish
company, and which gets its entire
"outfit' at Fairhaven, and belongs to
