OWL SERVICE REPORT.
The Annual Document Declamator
and Aggressive.

The Annual Document Declamatory
and Aggressive.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The eleventh an
nual report of the civil service commits
sion, which constructively, is to accom-
pany President Cleveland's message to-
morrow, but which, like other documents,
is permitted to see daylight beforehand, is
to some extent explanatory, but it is also
deelamatory and aggressive.
The commission states that the folly
Of the miss-statements INDUCED in as to
the questions asked in the examinations
has been so patent that they are now
rarely repeated. One of the favorite IN
truths of the spoilsmen, says the report,
is that the questions are irrelevant or
impractical, but as a matter of fact, the
questions asked are practical and relate
to the duties of the positions sought. It
is not claimed that, under all circum-
stances, a system Of competitive exami-
nations would be best for filling all posi-
tions, but what is claimed is that, under
existing conditions, this system is infin-
itely better than the patronage system,
which is at present the only alternative
In the larger postofiices, it is said that
the law is now better observed than it has
ever been before, and the postoffice at
Baltimore is mentioned as one in which a
marked Improvement is shown, and af-
fording an instance of the good done by
the commissions Investigations. The In
dianapols postoffice is also spoken of as
one which was very bad from a civil SER
vice point of view, and which has now be-
come a very good Office under the late
and present postmaster. Boston and Chi
cago are said to be offices where the law
is observed well.
In the railway mail service, the law has
been absolutely observed and neither ap-
pointments nor removals have been made
for political reasons. After speaking Of
the conviction of Postmaster Ickes of
Newark, o., and of Internal Revenue Col
lector Haney of Kentucky, for making po-
htical assessments in the presidential cam
paign of 1892, reference is made to the case
of c. H. J. Taylor. recorder of deeds for
the District of Columbia, of which a re-
port is now in the hands of the Presi-
dent for action. OF this the commission
said: I'm investigating this case. the COM
mission was much struck by the condi-
ton of terrorism that obtained in the I'M
classified civil service. In this service
there is no security of tenure. Removals
are made for purely political and personal
reasons, and there is an amount of cor
ruption in consequence. In the unclassi-
fed civil service, and in the excepted
places at Washington the conditions are
as bad as ever. These evils will be largely
cured by the recent extension of the clas-
sification in the departmental service.
The rec ent extensions, already made
public, are stated in detail with their eff
fects, and it is said that there are only a
few important branches Of the service yet
unclassified.

seasOnable Hints on Mons Clothing

FROM the bTdQlOFu IN ~ star.
There is a curiosity in the lookup in the
shape of a man who is wearing a suit of
clothes made Of newspapers. His name is
John Foy, and he claims to be a steam
filter from Chicago. He was arrested on
Oct. q for being drunk and disorderly
The first thing he did upon being locked
up was to attack A harmless fellow-pris-
oner and beat him terribly. For this
offense he was sentenced to thirty days
in the lookup. 1t is thought that he want
ed the time, supposing that he would be
sent to a nice, warm jail during the win
ter. But he was quite disappointed at be-
ing kept in the cold and chilly coop. But
he determined to get even with the city to
the extent of making the corporation buy
him a suit of clothes. So on Saturday
morning he deliberately burned every
stitch Of his clothing, saving nothing but
his shoes. Yesterday he went to work
and made himself clothes from newspa-
pers. He sat around naked in the chilling
drafts until sick of his folly. He is wear
ing a Sunday News coat, a Christian Ad-
vocate vest and Mexican Miner pants
When a Star reporter saw him he was
reading a love-story from his trousers. He
is as happy as a man could be under the
circumstances, and as long as the weather
keeps as mild, he viii not suffer.

NAMED EIGHTY ODD SINNERS.
Deacon Adams Created Stir When BE
Read His Little List.
From the Phnadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Belmar, n. j., Nov. 29.-Deacon Daniel
Adams, a prosperous builder. became con-
WINGED that the spiritual results of the re-
vival meetings at Belmar Methodist
church were altogether too mearger. When
the meetings had been going on for nearly
a fortnight only half dozen sinners had
become converted. The deacon and the
pastor, Rev. S. N. Nichols, and many of
the brothers and sisters had worked zeal
ously, yet Deacon Adams and the pastor
were discouraged.
Deacon Adams went home one night in
deep thought. The deacon sat up later
than usual. He wrote far into the night
When he ceased he had a list of all the
sinners he could think ola list of eighty
seven sinners, male and female, under his
pillow.
The next day Deacon Adams went about
his secular duties with bounding heart
That night he was at his accustomed place
in the amen corner of the church. Pas
tor Nichols preached a vigorous sermon
and a lone mourner went TO the altar. Dea-
con Adams observed that the interest was
in no wise augmented. Before the pastor
con got up In firm and fearless tone
he said: Brethren and sisters: 1 have
been noticing that for some reason the
interest in the revival meeting is less than
usual Now. there is a reason for this, and
il is the duty of US Christians to find out
that reason and ovcome it, 1t has oc-
Cured to me that Brother Nichols could
nreach with more effect if he knew just
where to direct his discourses. A soldier
who fires without aim is not very likely 10
hit ANYBODY Now, have taken the pains
To select out of those who regularly attend
This church a list of the unsaved, unre-
Generated, and, by the grace Of God, they
shall be aimed at until they are safely
brought into the fold
To the amazement of everybody, Dea-
ron Adams then read his entire list OF
eightv-seven sinners, most OF whom were
present Two or three young couples and
one sedate old gentleman Indignantly lett
the church. Others blushed to the roots
If their hair as the deacon read their
names. Many of the sinners listed We're
the leading citizens of the town. one IS
a schoolrnaster, another doctor, another
sells beer at a drug store during the sum
nner A pretty girls name followed that
Of a drlInkard. Some of the victims
laughed and others frowned. There was
more interest manifested in that meeting
than any since the beginning Of the re-
yiva1 For several days the new scheme
has been the talk of the town. At nrst
Deacon Adams was roundly scored; now
come of the Belmar sinners are thanking
him for having brought about their con-
version.

HE WAS A WHITE MAN.
The Famous Shawnee Indian Chief.
Blue jacket, and His Family.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
H. H. Swearingen of the treasury de-
partment has just compiled and issued
for private circulation an interesting reg
lister of the Swearingen family, which has
in many directions made some mark in
American history. This publication
brings out a fact that has hitherto not
been we'll known-that the famous Shaw
nee Indian chief Blue Jacket, was white
mana member of this family. Mr..
swearingen states that his famous an
cestors name was Marmaduke, and he
was captured by the Indians in Western
Pennsylvania, where his family was then
living. He was accompanied by younger
brother, but upon his agreeing TO go
with the Indians and live with them they
allowed the brother to go home.
His famous name was given him from
the fact that he wore a blue blouse at the
time of his capture. He became so popu-
lar with the Indians that at the age of 25
years he was made chief of his tribe
In the battle of st. Glars defeat Blue
Jacket was one of the leaders among the
Indians, and 1t is a curious fact that
among the killed of the white forces was
Capt. Van Swearingen, one of Blue Jack
ingens, Henry of Ohio, and Thomas of
Virginia, were representatives in con-
gress. Five were officers in the conti-
mental army. In 1855 Thomas Swearingen
OF Virginia defeated George Washington
for the house Of burgesses, and the next
year was beaten by Washington.
The compiler himself is not without an
interesting history. After the civil war his
father, who had fought for the south, be-
came a republican, and the son followed
this faith. In 1881 he was appointed as
republican to a clerkship in this city Dur
ing his incumbency his sentiments
changed and at the time of the democratic
success in 1885 he had developed into a
democrat. Notwithstanding this fact he
was dismissed by the new administration
and returned to Atlanta, Ga. Three
months later he received an appointment
to a clerkship at larger salary than be-
fore, through competitive examination.
When the republicans returned to power
in 1889 his dismissal as a democrat fol-
lowed. He returned to Georgia, took an
other examination, and for the third time
was appointed to a clerxship. In his me-
moirs he says that he fully expects to be
decapltated With the next change of
power and as surely expects another APP
pointment through the civil service COM
mission.
