The Journal does not understand that the
suit against Secretary Carlisle for alleged
violation of the civil-service law was insti-
tuted by the Civil-service Commission. The
commission is undoubtedly in full sympa-
thy with the suit, and may have advised it,
but the complaint is in the name of Eugene
e. Gladdis, a discharged treasury clerk. 1t
asks for writ of mandamus to compel the
Secretary to restore him to an S1,sOO clerk
ship, from which he was removed for no
other than political reasons. The court
granted an order requiring Secretary Car
Isle TO show cause why the writ should
not be issued, and the order is returnable
at 10 o'clock next Tuesday. The case pre-
sents some interesting features, and is one
of the most important that has yet been
taken into the courts for the purpose of
testing the civil-service law. The Journal
is bound to say that. while the removal OF
clerks IL the classified civil-service for po-
litical reasons is clearly opposed to the
spirit of the law, it is not so certain that
it is forbil den by the letter. The final de-
cision in the case whatever it may be,
will have a controlling effect in the future
construction of the law in regard TO re-
movals.

There is nothing alarming or improper in
the visit to Washington of several hundred
Philadelphia workingmen to protest against
the passage of the Wilson bill In ordinary
times the visit would scarcely receive more
than passing notice. but at present, when
the columns of the papers are full of ac-
counts of the movements of bodies of men
more or less inclined to turbulence, such
an incident is apt to be misjudged. The
visit of Philadelphia workingmen to the
national capital is no part of the Coxey
movement. On the contrary, they expressly
disclaim any connection with that move
timed so as to enable them TO get away
from Washington before the Coxey crowd
arrives there The Philadelphians paid their
own way, and the object Of their visit was
entirely legitimate They went as work
ingmen to protest against the passage of
the Wilson bill Hundreds of delegations
have visited Washington before on similar
missions. and although this is probably
the largest delegation of the kind on rec
ord, there is nothing in it to condemn or de-
precate except, perhaps, the encourage
ment it may give to other masses of men
TO visit the capital for less legitimate pur-
poses. These Philadelphia men are not
tramps nor beggars. They have not reached
Washington by stealing rides, Selling rail-
road trains or foraging on the country.
They have gone there in a legitimate way
for legitimate purpose, and while, under
existing circumstances, the Journal doubts
the wisdom of their visit, it cannot question
their right to do as they have done.

The ELK PLAYED PossuM.

A Surprise Awaited the Hunter Who
@sstarted In to Skin the Beast
Gan elk beats the dickens for mis-
.chiefv said an old hunter to a writer
for tn New York Sun. One time !
was hunting on the Yellowstone river
with Uncle Pete McDougall and q
.souaw man named Jackson, and every
kind of game that you ever saw was
found there. We shot no end OF buff
falo, deer and antelope, and thought
the list complete when we struck a
band of elk in the open valley. The
squaw man said that the only way to
kill an elk was TO bury yourself in q
.clump of bushes and wait for him to
come to you. I knew better, and so
we herded up the group and tried to
close in on them in a circle. Well,
they all got away except one bull, who
was cornered until could get shot
at him. was fattering myself that it
was q great shot when | saw him fall
fat on his side and never move hair.
"sYou know all about killing elk,
said, sarcastic like, to the squaw man.
You killed him, you skin him., he
said.
"sAll right said l, but you don't
get any of the meat And with that
out with my knife and walked quickly
over to the dead elk, never noticing
where he was hit. got square over
on hisneck, and was just reaching with
my knife to strike the skin from his
head when of all surprises | ever got
that was the worst. That bull elk
just raised up in the air with me on his
neck. and, tossing his head, caught me
squarely on his horns came down
like piece of lead ore in thousand
foot shaft. tried to hang on to his
horns but he jerked my grip and threw
me high in the air and on the ground,
where lay with the breath knocked
out of me and too scared to move and
thinking he would trample me to
death in the sage brush. Finally my
friends got in their work. The elk
had SO much fun that he did not see
them coming, and Uncle Pete put ball
in his heart just as the beast was
about to jump on me with all four
feet. The elk tuin bled over on me, and
under his crushing weight l tainted.
The next l remembered was the smell
of smuggled Canadian whisky and the
squaw man saying with a laugh:

1t is an interesting sight to see the
real coster girl, not her stage pre- sent
ment, enjoying herself on a bank Holt
day First of all, she is very smart ac-
cording to her own ideas, which, to do
her justice, are original and not pale
copies OF the West End ladies.
Her hair, especially, engages her at
tention, and in this she prefers a dis
tinctive style of her own. The hair is
parted at each side, cut short and very
much curled and crimped, and sur
mounted by large hat and ostrich
feathers coming we'll over the eyes, in
some cases almost hiding them. She
is musical, too, and easily breaks into
singing and dancing.
1t is sad to note this unsatisfed
longing to indulge in rhythmical move
ment as exemplitied in slow valse
danced by two of the same sex, or a
wild sort of jig partaking of the can

is arrayed in brown dress with pink
bow at the neck, large green velvet
hat and feathers, large white shawl
and white gloves She is as self-con-
scious as the beauty of Be,grave

ment and an JUNCTION unknown to the
languid lady.
There is no sitting out here, no
useless dancing men, for both sexes
seem equally delighted to revolve with
each other There is an evident love
of bright colors in the dress of boys
and girls, and there is a hearty, bois-
ferrous flow of high spirits and of some
what rough good-nature, coupled with
a laudable determination to be happy,
which is as refreshing as it is enforced.

A Characteristic of Florence Nightingale
from Her Earliest Youth.
Florence Nightingale, the world
famous nurse, was born in Florence
Italy, in 1928, says writer in the De-
troit Free Press. Her father, William
Edward Shore, of England, inherited
the estate of his grand-uncle, Peter
Nightingale, and, in pursuance Of his
will, assumed the name Nightingale.
AS the child of wealthy parents, Miss
Nightingale was well educated. From
early childhood the care of the sick was
a favorite occupation of hers, and in
1s49 she entered, as voluntary nurse,
a school of deaconesses to qualify her.
self to minister to the sick. In 1854, at
the solicitation Of Secretary of War
Sidney Herbert, she went to Constanti-
nople as the superintendent of star OF
nurses to care for the soldiers of Great
Britain who were wounded in the
Crimean war. BY her rare executive
ability and thorough knowledge OF
what was necessary she made the hos
pital, which was in a most deplorable
state, model in thoro ughness and
perfection of its appoin tments. SO
immense were her labors that she fire.

Old Fashioned Vaiuables Recently Found
in Well in Mississippi.
What has been known for half CEN
turv as the old Freeland residence, six
miles from Jackson, Miss, was recent
" torn down after having been ruin
for many years, says a correspondent
of the Philadelphia Times. Beneath
1t was discovered what had been an
old curbed we'll, and on clearing this
out there was brought up small steel
casket containing several articles OF
old-fashione~4 J-selry. These mum
bered among them watch of the
style worn during the last part OF the
last century and comb such as was
affected by ladies of continental times.
These were set with large pearls,
which must have been valuable, but
which are ruined by the action of the
water. A tiara Of small diamonds bore
the device of s'D'' in small German
characters. but beyond this there is no
clew as to the owner of the jewels
The family to whom the house be-
longed has long been extinct and the
place for some years until recently has
been Inhabited by negroes. Some of
the older citizens remember that this
mansion replaced another far hand
somcr, which was destroyed by fire
and which was one of the oldest places
in the state. At the time OF the war
the house was rented to poor family
named Lucey, who would hardly have
possessed such jewels, SO their pres
ence in the well can scarcely be ac-
counted for on the theory that they
were hidden there then for safety.
The present value of the articles is not
more than one hundred dollars, but
when new they must have been worth
something over one thousand dollars.
according to the valuation of a local
jeweler. They are now in the posses

land on which the old place stood.
The watch is curious for its antique
workmanship, though most of the
works have been eaten away by rust.

The Bank Of France is guarded by SOL
diers, who do sentry duty outside the
bank, a watch being likewise kept within
its precincts. A former practice of pro-
tecting this bank was to get masons to
wall up tho doors Of tho vaults In the cell
lar with hydraulic mortar 30 soon rs the
money was deposited each day in these re-
ceptacles. The water was then turned on
and kept running until the cellar was
flooded. A burglar would thus DO obliged
to work In o diving suit and break down
a cement wall before he could cven begin
to plumber the vaults. When the bank
officers arrived each morning, the water
was drawn of, the masonry torn down
and the vaults opened.

BIG TASK.

The NEWS hopes that Chairman Har-
ter of the House subcommittee on trusts
will get the information he seeks from
President Havemeyer, but if he does he
will be a heap sight smarter than the
State of Massachusetts,, which has been
unable through its courts to make the
Trust fife u statement on questions not
nearly so inquisitive as that of Mr..
Harter's. In introducing his request
Congressman Harter says:
"As, however, the sugar trust de-
mands protection, or, more properly
speaking, the taxation OF the public for
its profit, it should put before Congress
and the public it's real condition, so that
an intelligent opinion of the merits Of
its demand may be formed. II, upon
an actual and necessary investment of
cash capital, it cannot save itself from
losses without burdening the taxpayers,
then it has as much justification (and
more) for being fed from the public re-
sources by taxation as any in lustries
which we, in passing the Wilson bill,
allowed to remain On the charity list"
On the other hand he suggests that if
" its profits have been excessive, when
figured upon an actual cash and un-
watered capital stock, then you, as a fair
minded man, will agree with me that
you should not have any legislative ia
vors. In such event a tax of one cent a
pound upon 10O-degree sugar, for reve-
nue. only, would be a fair and equitable
one, permitting a reduction of 1-1OOth
of a cent each degree of sweetness lack
ing.
"rhis would give the Government mil
lions and take nothing from the Sugar
Trust"
Harter then asks his aues tions. What
would it cost to replace your plants
What have been the actual profits
What are the salaries paid ?
What is the actual paid in cash capital
aHa what is the present surplus fund.
These be leading questions and when
Mr.. Harter gets his reply he will proba-
bly, know as much about them as he
does now.
Harter makes us smile.
