Extensive work being Done In the Cos

Washington. July 1s.-Major J. C. Post.
In chaig ge the river and harbor i'm
provements In Oregon. has made his an
nual report to the chief Of engineers.
Several important works are under his
direction. notably the mouth OF the CO.
lumbia river. the canal and locks at the
Cascades and the deep water channel OF
the Columbia to Portland. Ore. At the
mouth of the Columbia q project Is in
contemplation of a navigable channel 30
feet deep at low water across the bar.
This work Is being accomplished by

a mile wide and 30 feet deep for seven
eighths Of a mile at low water has been
secured. The work remaining to be done

pecially since the depth at the bar Of
the Columbia has been obtained.

Drs. Caven and Orr are making a post

the benefit OF swift Canadian justice.
Detective Geyers theory Is that the
children were chloroformed in the
trunk.
indianapolis. July 1.-THE Journal
to-day prints an article containing the
statement that the Petzel boy, brother
of Kate and Nellie Petzel. whose dead
bodies are supposed to have been un-
earthed at Toronto yesterday. was un-
doubtedly murdered in this city Oct

Frank Geyer OF Philadelphia. who has
been working on the case. stated a

will beyond doubt be found to be the
murderer OF the Petzel children.
Philadelphia. July l6.-The finding of
the bodies OF the two Pletzel children
In Toronto has created a sensation in
police circles In this city. The authori-
ties are convinced that they were muir

Holmes. now In prison in this city
awaiting trial on the charge OF con-
splracy to defraud the Fidelity Mutual
Life Insurance company of $4,000.
This amount was obtained by Lawyer

senting the family OF b. f. Pietzel.
who. II was claimed. was killed In
this city by an explosion OF chemicals.
and who shortly before. had been in
sured In the Fidelity company.
1t Is probable the charge against II.
II. Holmes will be changed from con-
spiracy TO murder. as II IL generally be-
lieved that Pietzel Is really dead. Just
before Holmes was brought to trial
he made a confession In which he said
that he had procured a corpse In New
York. brought 1t to this city. and dis

mains OF Pietzel. After the confession
Holmes trial was postponed until Oc-
tober. II Is believed as the Philadel-
phia murder anti-dates the Canadian
murders the man will have 10 stand

Detective Geyer, who found the bod
les OF the children in Toronto. has been
on the case since September, 1894, when
the charred remains OF the bogus or
genuine PIetzel were found. He fol-
lowed many clews furnished by the
president OF the Fidelity Mutual Life
Insurance company. and has been con-
fident from the outset that the murder
would finally be fastened upon Holmes.

NEW CIVIL SERVICE RULE.
No Promotion From One Grade to An
other without Examination.


Washington, July ls.-The president
has Just promulgated new rule modi-
flying the old customs rules OF the CIV
II service. The effect Of this rule is to
greatly limit the number Of promotions
in classified customs districts. except
after appropriate examinations. The
necessity for the change In the rules
arises from the fact that the extension
OF the classification in the customs SER
vice on the second OF November last
over positions paying salaries OF less
than $500, opened the doors for the
promotion of many persons who had
entered the service upon presidential
or political favorltism. The old rule
would permit these persons after they
were brought into the classified service
60 be advanced TO many of the best
paying positions in the once without
examination. Under the new rule, pro-
motions can be made only to a limited
extent without examination. and no
promotion can be made from one grade
to another without an appropriate ex,
animation.

IS THIS A HEROIC AGEf

Quite so; yea, thousand, thousand
times more than in the days of Homer.
Look at the thousands of missionaries
who, during the China-Japanese war,
were at the front ministering to the
wounded and starving; look at mission
aries in Turkey now who are distribut-
ing food to the homeless Armenians and
risking their lives to do deeds of charity
and kindness among The poorest and
most down-troc'.i-n people on earth.
But we have he heroic spirit nearer
home. T',.. men ~'lIo left home and
fireside to fight the marauding and muir
dering Indians ON the Pacific coast, to
make this country secure for the white
man to live in, were heroes, though they
never shed drop of blood. The SOL
diers of the union armies who went TO
preserve the government from rebellion
and prevented its going to pieces, are
heroes greater than Hector or Achilles,
famed only for slaughter, but not for
principle.
The women who kept the homes and
wrote letters to encourage the loved ones
on the field of battle, or made clothes,
or scraped lint, or heldHhospital fairs, or
cared for the sick and wounded at
home-they will he immortal in the
eyes of civilization that will yet be
written. The uhselfsh service of men
and women in any walk in life make
them heroic. Here is little band OF
women holding together little church
organization, giving sociables, cooking
Thanksgiving dinners, giving Gn enter
taInment at which they work week
and realize 15 cents, doing the unprofit-
able, unshowy, menial tasks and drudg-
cry of chuch work-they are heroes and
will wear brighter haloes of glory than
some men who occasionally do little
"hooraying for Jesus" and do up their
fellow man the rest of the time.
The man who helps raise subscrip-
ton for woolen mill, SO that some poor
family stands better chance of making
living and securing home, is greater
hero than he who does nothing but
write Honorable before his name, or
watches the newspapers until someone
else does. It is actions this world is
dying for-not professions. The act
makes the man or woman hero, the
I'M ielfish act, the act behind which a
motive of profit and gain does not stand
out bigger than the man himself

Statesman.

Here is the San Francisco Chronicle
definition of politician. A COMPARE
son between the individual as defined
and as actually found, shows the differ
ence between the theoretical and the
practical:
"a politician is a man OF education,
breeding, integrity and patriotism, who
consents to sacrifice a large portion of
his time and larger portion of his indi-
vidual effort for the advancement of the
principles of government in which he
believes, and which are best represented
by the party with which he is affiliated.
That there are so-called politicians who
come far short of this standard is not to
be denied, but that fact in nowise inter-
feres with the true definition of poll
tician,''

him two terms is ample. What We
