ONE STANDARD FOR ALL.
Mrs. BlaIr's Talk About the Use Of
Liquor and Tobacco by Men.

Liquor and Tobacco by Men.
Mrs. Ellen Dayton Blair, the national
"clialk talker'' for the Loyal Temperance
Legion, gave another of her interesting
taiks yesterday afternoon before the brook
land baptist Church branch of the L. I L.,
at tuat church.
TIE talk was illustrated with numerous
chalk drawings sho wing the evil effects
of the liquor and tobacco habits These
habits, She said, were twin brothers aud
went hand in hand. They dulled the intei-
lect poisoned the blood, and made men
and women, boys and girls moral and intel
lectual wrecks. What respectable man,
she asked, would be seen in public with
or make companion of a girl vino would
drive a fast horse, smoke, and swear and
drink to excess.
'None,' she said, land SO 1T is left for
you girls to make the young men of your
acquaintance observe and practice the
same standard of morality which they
require of you
The meeting was under the auspices of
the l.. T. l., of the District, Mrs. NJ. b.
with prayer by Mrs. NJ. E. Bout well,
followed by song service.
At the close of the talk Mrs. West,
wife of the pastor OF the church, made
few remarks, in the course of which she
said she regretted that there were not
more of the "old folks" of the "city"
present to hear the address.
At this evenings service, the pastor, Rev.
Robert r. West, will take for his subject
IF Christ should come to Brookland."

ELIGIBLE LIST is GROWING
Effects of Printing ofic, Civil Ser
vice Becoming Apparent.
Generally High Percentages Were
Made by Applicants In the
Various Trades.

Since the Government Printing Office
was placed within the classified civil ser
vice in August last, the Civil Service Com
mission has held three examinations in
the cities OF the examination routes for
the positions of compositor pressman,
bookbindcr, aud for such minor POSITIONS
as feeder, helper, folder, sewer, counter,
numberer, gatherer, ETC., in the Govern
ment Printing Office.
Three grades of examinations were con-
Quoted, as follows: Conpusitog, pressman
and bookbinder and skilled Iaborer. The
skitieG iaDorer NxanIinitions were held for
all the minor positions. Men only were
certified Ior the position for pressman,
DookDInder auu neipeI, women uiIy lof tue
position OF ieeuer, loluer sewer, numDerer
ana gatlerer, auu botn men ana women
Ior tne position Oi coInposItor aud counter.
The age oil the male ciiIuiuates was re-
stricteu 10 u.e Years between tweuJs-on
and forty five, auu that of the female ap-
plicauts 10 those years between eighteen
and rty-five. There are about 1900
CLASSIFIED positions In the Government
Printing Office, and the list of ellgIbics
is growing day by day, as the appilcants
who were credited with 10 per cent or over
are transferred 10 that list. None OF the
top-list compositions have been certified TO
the Government Printing Office as yet,
because there has been no call, though
severai names have been sent 10 the Asri-
cultural Department and Weather Bureau
in response to calls from those quarters.
The highest per cent made by any OF the
conipOsitors was $3.50, while the average
was about 80. The subjects Of their eN-
animation were orthograpny, penmanship,
letter writing, arithmetic, and practical
questions The subject of the examinations
for the other positions were orthography.
penmanship, copying, and arithmetic.
1t was compulsory that the applicants
for the position OF composition, pressman or
bookbinder, should have had five years
experience in their particular trade, four
years OF which must have been rendered
as an apprentice and one year as
journeyman. Three female cumpositors are
on the eligible list and it is said that
their percentage is high. There is a lack
OF electrotypers and stereotypers. The
eligible list contains a number of names
of District people, because the rule OF
apportionment, as applied TO the depart
mental service, does not apply to the
Government Printing Office, except IN
the matter OF holding the examinations in
the cities of the several examination routes
Ne departmental examinations Will be
accepted from legal residents or the Dis
trict OF Columbia, because there is at
present an excessive share OF appointments
accredited TO her. This condition is also
true of Alaska, AriZona, Delaware, Mary
land Montana, Nevada and Wyoming
App licat ions from residents OF these
States and Territories and the District
OF Columbia will be accepted for all rail
way mail and Indian service examinations.

Mr.. A. L. Winchell, of New York, was

self quite freely on the subject of Empire
State politics. Mr.. Winchell is GOo-GoO,
and has a high admiration for Preacher
Parkhurst and Commissioner Roosevelt.
OF Mr.. Roosevelt he said thathe was every
inch man, fair and frank, and played no
favorites. He said that he could well
understand the popularity which Mr.
Roosevelt won among the fair-minded
citizens of Washington. He thought that
Roosevelt was absolutely honest, that the
liberal Sunday people were worng, that it
was right TO keep the saloels closed on
Sunday, especially as there was law for
it. He believed that, although the present
regime had caused a great deal of friction,
yet it had TO some extent given a moral
uplift to New York.

He Discharges the Chinese.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-Judge Sea-
man, of the Federal court, attacked
the Chinese exclusion act when he
discharged from custody the Chi
nese arrested in Detroit for entering
the United States, and who were
ordered deported by Commissioners
Graves of that city. The judge in
discharging the men said he ques-
toned the constitutionality of the
act. He based his decision on that
section of the act which gives to
the United States commissioners
the same powers as is given a
Judge. Judge Seaman holds that
the powers of commissioner are
limited. He cannot pass sentence
and intlict fine, but simply hold to
the federal grand jury.

Boston's Disastrous Fire.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 4.-One Of
the most disastrous fires that has
occurred along Boston's water front
in years started on the docks of
east Boston this morning and be.
fore it could be controlled it had
destroyed three piers, two large
store houses, freight shed, fifteen
loaded freight cars, large quanti-
ty of freight and slightly damaged
a number of dwellings. The loss
is estimated at $4,000, partly in
sured.
1t was at first thought the loss
would not exceed $4,000, but a
careful estimate indicates it will
reach 100000 and possibly more.
In the sheds destroyed was stored
Sisal grass, hay, flour, general mer.
chandIse, hemp and wool, all val
ued at over $4,000. The wharves
and buildings destroyed were val
ued at Sl30,000.

Great Damage by Water.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. r.
As a result of the yeritable deluge,
which set i'm last night and con-
tinued until morning, this city
is flooded and thousands of dol
lars worth of property destroyed,
besides causing great inconyenl-
ence in street car transportation
and telephone communication.
The business portion of the city
was soon flooded, because of the
inability of the sewers and streets
to carry of the water. All morning
reports came in to the station
chronicling the damage in various
parts of the city. In the neighbor-
hood of Pine and Washington
streets the lake water appeared
and no less than a dozen families
were rescued by the police. The
water in many easements along
Washington and Pennsylvania
streets is five and six feet deep.
Many of these easements are used
as salesrooms and the damage in
these is very great. AT daylight
lightning started fire in the Tele-
phone Exchange building and the
entire system burned out, result
ing in great loss. Several other
fires were started by lightning,
but extinguished before material
loss was sustained. Up to seven
o'clock this morning the rise in the
canal had amounted to 81 inches,
