GOVERNMENT EXAMINERS -
Many Applicants Would Like to
Learn Their Fate.

Local applicants for positions in the
Civil Service, who have undergone the
fortunes of the commissions own little in
QUESTION in recent examinations, are on
tenter-hooks and wonder "wbere they are
at" for as to the results of the examina-
tions aforesaid nothing has yet been
heard from Washington.
The examination for candidates for the
postal service was held in August and that
for wOuld-be Custom-hOuSe functiOnarieS
in November, and yet all of them are still
on the anxious seat, despite the fact that
the powers that be are usually very
prompt in returning their decisions to the
local commissions.
None of the members of the San Fran
cisco commission could be found last
night and thus far no explanation Of the
delay is offered.

DEFIED THE WEATHER.
Coursing Went Off as Usual at
Ocean View.

Unpleasant as the weather was yester-
day it did not deter a hundred of the
leashmen from jOurneying to Ocean
View to witness the running in the puppy
stakes and the all-aged stakes as pub
Ished in the New Occidental Clubs card.
There were six dogs entered for the
former and eight in the latter In conse-
quence ot the very disagreeable weather,
especially in the forenoon, only four of
the pups put in an appearance, and as
consequence there were only two courses
run for the puppy stake, and Annie DAILY
was so much better than any of the other
four left in that she had no difficulty In
capturing first prize. Annie is one of the
good little ones that are sometimes seen
in this park. She is owned by p. Carney,
M. Kerrlgan's Goodland took second.
There was some good running in the
alleged stake. especially between Fairy
d and Frisco Boy and lilly and Dash
away in the first round and between Dash
away and Belmont in the second In the
final course between Jimmy Rex and
Dashaway after very fine run the latter
dog picked up the hare. but both dogs
were Tapped shoulder to shoulder during
the Whole distance.
John Grace Jr.. did the Judging and J.
ception no fault could possibly be found
with either.
The summary for the alleged was as
follows:
Hull's Frisco Boy ran a bye, Fairy d
not appearing: J. Hurley's Jimmy Rex
beat j. Murphy's Red Light; J. Kerrigan's
Dasnaway beat p. Carney's Spokane; G.
Watson's Belmont beat j. Murphy's
lilly S.
Second round-Jimmy Rex beat Frisco
Boy; Dashaway beat Belmont.
Flnal-Dashaway beat Jimmy Rex and
won the stake. So; Rex took SIS.

Dealing With the Liquor Saloon.

DCAAAbG I'LL WV IAs1aOA oaAON'AA
The Arena gives its readers a sympo-
sium contributed to by a doctor Of di-
vinity, "a woman, a plain preacher, with
out any title, and the editor of the maya
zine. Each has views ON tie drinking
saloon and how to do away with its
evils. The doctor of divinity, Rev. A.
A. Miner, would suppress TIE whole
traffic out and out by law and law and
law. He says this can be done and was
done in Massachusetts in 1867. The
only trouble was that people would not
let it stay put.
The lady, Mrs. Helen Cougar, would
do the same through concerted political
action-in brief, through the Prohibi.
ton party. Legal protection, she says,
is the bulwark Of tho traffic. She wants
this protection taken away, and then
she would let the Prohibitionists have
their whael, at the saloon. Mrs. Cougar
tells US the Prohibition party is grow
ing. Besides prohibition, she would

the human body, also she calls for the
enfranchisement of women. If, how
ever, women beer drinkers go ON III.
creasing in the cities as they are doing
at present, this would do little good.
Rev. Walter Vrooman holds up the
state d%ispensary system, as it existed in
South Carolina, as his remedy for the
saloon evil. Incidentally he suggests the
name of Ben r. Tillman to head the re-
form party national ticket in 1896. B.
o. Flower, editor of Tho Arena, consid-
ers that the great and growing power of
the beer and whisky interests in politics
is q serious menace to the country. He
says, '"The two old parties are vying
with one another i'll subservience to the
dictates Of the liquor power"
Mr.. Flower does not wish to see the
great brewers and distillers of this coun-
try carry its politics in their trousers
pockets. Flo suggests two remedies for
tho evil Of drunkenness. One is the
state ~dispenea1y system, like that which
has just fallen through in South Caro-
lima; tho other is the Scandinavian sys-
ten. la each city or town, under the
Scandinavian system, the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors is allotted to single cor.
poration, llcre than half the manage
ment Of which must be total abstinents.
The superintendent must be such. The
corporation is allowed to receive 4 to 6
per cent on tho capital invested, no
more. Tho rest Of the money goes to
public uses, but not to such as require
taxation to sustain them. The liquor
store must be closed al @ O z in the
evening.

How High VIII a Kite Coz

1t Is one of the most difficult undertake
ings imaginable to even approximately es-
innate the height Of a kite above the
earth. This is IN account of the fact that
objects floating in tho air seem to be far
ther away than they really are. 1t may be
safely said that l, 500 feet is the maximum
altitude that can possibly be attained by a
single kite. A kite flying ut the height
mentioned will appear even to a conserva-
tive observer to be nearly II not quite n
half mile above the surface of tho earth,
but n careful measurement of the string
and its angle will quickly prove that it
could not have been moro han a fourth
of a mile above the ground. Ordinarily
a kite will go no higher, even il more
string BIO pnid out. This Is because the
wind deprcsses the cord and causes the
kite to really recede when it appears to
rise. 1t has been said that 1t Is possible
to arrange several kites in such u manner
that they will reach a higher altitude
than lit is possible to attain with a single
kite. In this manner, where three, four,
or even a dozen kites have been used, re-
markable heights have been reached,
2, 500 feet having been attained in ono In
stance.-St. Louis Republic.

EQUAL. 10 THE EMERGENCY.
A Young Woman Who Met n Literary Man
on His own Ground.

A Young Woman Who Met n Literary Man
on His own Ground.
There is a young woma over on the
west side who has been in society but
a portion of a season. The other even
ing she was at a function, and she was
introduced to a young man who has had
some success in literature. The bud stood
more or less in awe of him after she
learned who he was. The literary young
man was much impressed with the
beauty of the bud, and he asked permits
sion to call. This was given him.
The next day the bud got to thinking
over the function and remembered the
request Of the young man. She went to
a gill friend and said to her; Il met
Mr.. l. at the ball the other night,
and he asked If he could call ON me. !
told him he could. Now, I'm awfully
worried to think what l shall talk to
him about. OF course he's a literary
man, and he will not care to talk about
society and all that, and really ! don't
know a single thing I can converse with
him about that will interest him, and
do not want him to 90 away bored.
What on earth shall l talk about?'
The friend sympathized with her and
told her that she might talk about his
tory or some such thing. Filled with
this idea, the bud went home and boned
up on history.
A few nights later the literary man
called. He was 1shered into the parlor,
and the bud came down in q few min
utes.
Good evening" he said.
She babe him good evening.
lawfully hot, iss1't it?"
She thought that it was.
There was some more conversation In
this original strain, when he suddenly
launched out like this: "What a de
lightful party that WA the other even
ing, wasn't it? 1 don't know when
have enjoyed myself more. Everything
enough were there to make it enjoyable.
The music was delightful and the re-
freshments superb. Really I shall often
think of that ball Us one of the most
charming l have ever had the pleasure
of attendingin Buffalo. think that
During these remarks the bud had
wriggled about nervously ON her chair.
She was on the point of interrupting
half a dozen times and could refrain nc
longer. With a forced little laugh, she
broke in, "Oh, yes, but wasn't that sad
about Mary, queen of Scots?'
The literary man gazed at the bud IN
blank amazement. Seeing that he die
not answer her, the bud continued in a
theatrical manner, '.They cut off her
head, you know"
The symposium broke up just here,
and to this day the literary man thinks
the bud crazy, while the bud hasn't an
idea what to think about the literary
