THE COAST SURVEY.
Mr. Dingley Secures the Continuation of
the Civil Service Laws Protection.

Washington, March 16.-The House in
committee of the whole today, resumed
consideration of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill, the pending question being
on Mr.. Enloe's amendment directing the
Dockery commission to investigate
whether the work of the coast and geo.
detic survey could not be better per-
formed by the bureaus of the navy and
interior departments. The amendment
was defeated 105 to 81.
Mr.. Hopkins, Republican, of Illinois,
moved to strike out the provision of the
bill directing the secretary of the treas
ury to reorganize the. Office force of the
survey to bring the cost within S125, 900
wear, reduction of $4,000 from the
appropriation carried in the bill. He
said this was a cowardly subterfuge to
bring about what the House had de-
clined to do on Mr.. Enloe's amendment
to abolish the survey. The work was to
be transferred to the secretary oft he
navy because, owing to his Tepor ed
opposition to the civil service law, it was
believed he could be depended on to rel
.egate the scientific gentlemen in the sur
vev to private life and fill their places
with partisans.
The discussion drifted to the relation
of the survey to the civil service law.
Mr. Dingley, Republican of Maine, said
the reorganization proposed by the COM
mittee might lead to serious conse-
quences affecting the civil service law,
and asked the chairman whether that
matter had been considered.
Mr.. Sayers said the intention, so far as
he knew, was simply to reduce the ex-
penditures. He was willing any provis-
ions to prevent the infraction of the law
might be inserted.
The following amendment was pro-
posed by Mr.. Dingley: Provided, that
nothing herein shall be construed to af-
feet the civil service rules in SO far as
they are now applicable to the coast and
deoetic survey. This was agreed to.
Subsequently it was agreed that the
provision that Mr.. Hopkins had moved
to strike out should be modified by di-
recting the Secretary of the Treasury to
reduce the number of employees of the
Office force OF the survey or the rate of
compensation to bring the expenditures
down to S125, 900, putting limit to the
reduction and abandoning the idea OF
reorganizing the force. Mr.. Hopkins
thereupon withdrew his motion and the
survey appropriation passes.
At the evening session the House acted
on seven pension bills.

SCHOOL SUFFRAGE MEETING
Women OF Perrysburg Should Take An
Interest in the schools.

The right OF school suffrage has been
granted to the women of Ohio and next
Spring the ladies OF Perrysburg will
have their first opportunity to exer-
else that privilege aud it is to be hoped
they will not let the opportunity pass
unappreciated. We know of no good
reason why women should not take
advantage of this right.
For the purpose of organizing and
instructing women in the use OF the
ballot, meeting will be held at the
First Presbyterian church, on Satur-
day afternoon, Nov. 10, at $50 o'clock.
All women, rich and poor, who have
the best interests of the schools at
heart are requested to be present u.
this meeting.
Mrs. Ellen Fray district president,
also Miss Emily Bouton of the Blade,
Miss Milan and Miss Foster, all OF To
ledo, will be present.
The saying that a "woman should
not mix in politics" which is so often
heard, should not keep any lady from
attending the meeting and posting
herself in the use of the ballot.
We hope to see large vote cast by
the ladies of Perrysburg at the next
Spring election, and we truly believe
that the larger the vote cast the great
er will be the benefit to the people.

Gowns for little girls never cease to

eight years, is trimmed on the skirt

that Mr.. Prentice, Sr, had been up to
see them and was equally pleased with
the engagement.
''ln the course of ten days came a
cablegram from his wife saying:
Break engagement at once. | sail for
home by next steamer
This message was dreadful blow
to the young people concerned, and
greatly bewildered the clergyman.
However, nothing could be done
but await his wife's arrival, and then
matters would probably straighten
themselves In the meantime his wife
had sailed, and landing in New York
the following Saturday had driven di-

him.
MIR. Prentice was as much distressed
at the broken engagement as the
others, and he readily granted her re-
quest.
1T is easier for you to imagine, than
for me to describe his sensations, as
she explained her cable by this story.
She began Immediately:
Mr.. Prem tice, your wife was very
dear friend of mine. We were at school
together, and shoI thy after separating
as schoolmates, she married you and
went to the south to live. | heard from
her occasionally, and knew she was
very happy, and, later, heard that she
had a son.
About four years went by, when,
one day, she wrote to us that you were
in Europe on business, her little boy
was with some relatives, and she was
alone and very miserable in a New
York boarding house, and asked me If
l would come to her.
My husband was away from home
at that time, and there was nothing to
prevent my leaving, so ! came to New
