feeling of gloom these occurrences cceate in
the hearts and minds of those who knew
them: their characteristics and the condi- |

we speak for every official and inmate of this

Rush entered upon his duties as keeper IN
this institution, being assigned to the
set-up shop of the saltwater Thresher
Company where he remained continuously
until the Thresher Co.. removed from the
prison last fall; since which time Mr.. Rush
has filled various positions within the walls.
During the early part OF the spring he met
with serious accident having received
fracture of the skull, and was confined to MS
home for some time, recovering sufhclently
to be able to resume his duties. After
couple of weeks, however, he was again COM

Use of Fireworks.

crackers or other explosives, and under the
law there is no exception made Of the
Fourth Of July. Although 1t is a violation
of law to discharge fireworks of every
description the sale of them is not pro-
htbited, but permits for this purpose are
being issued every day. According to the
statement Of Policeman Bloom, made In
the Police Court today, Maj. Moore gave
strict orders last evening for the enforce
ment Of the law. And Policeman Bloom
arrested colored boy, whose patriotism or
desire to hear noise caused him to set off
a firecracker on the street last night
Il found the boy on the street last night
setting of f1recrackers," said the officer,
land I arrested him."
who should have been arrested" remarked
Judge Kimball. II hope the police will
arrest every boy found setting off explo-
sives."
Arthur was fined 81 and he paid the fine.
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, speaking of
the case, said he thought the manufacture
and sale Of fireworks should be prohibited
and then there would be no occasion to
make these arrests.
The police have received a number of
complaints from citizens about the use of
firecrackers, and while an attempt is be-
ing made to enforce the law now the police
will probably not endeavor to stop the
use of fireworks in moderation on the
Fourth Of July.

EFFECT OF THE RULES.
Extra Pressure for Places in the
Government Printing Office.

Extra Pressure for Places in the
Government Printing Office.
Public Printer Benedict has been expert
encing one Of the incidental disadvantages
expected to ensue upon putting his office
under the civil service rules. He says that
of late he has had more applications for
places than at any time in all his incum-
bency. All the old employees seem to think
that If they can Only get in now they will
be retained by the rules, and their having
once been in the office is regarded by them
as reason and claim for their reinstate-
mert at this opportune time
Mr.. Benedict has resolCtely declined to
increase the force beyond the needs of the
public service. Naturally he has some
choice as to the character Of the employees
of the office during this transitional period
and he can count on the efficiency of the
present force, which has been tried by con-
tinuous employment during his term.
There have been between two hundred
and three hundred extra employees put on
during the last few days for some special
work that needed to be done at once These
employees, when their temporary service is
at an end and they are laid off, will be
eligible under the order approved by the
President for reinstatement any time with
in year from the time when they are dis
missed from the office. These men WILL
therefore, have a claim to places that will
take precedence Of applica lions by elgibles
that may take examinations for positions
in the government printing office after the
rules go into effect. Thus the extra force
at work now has laid foundation for en-
ployment next winter, when the presence
of Congress will require added help.

Not n Loafing Place.

When Judge Kimbalrs court convened
this morning there was a noticeable alb
sence Of the regular guests who have no
business there. The 'front.' sidewalk was
clear, and there were no dodgers on the
grass in the little triangle opposite the
court. Pedestrians passing the court had
not the trouble of squeezing through the
usual crowd of men. women and children
who have been in the habit Of congrega ting
there This condition of affairs, Judge
kimball says is due to the good work Of
Officer Flynn, who was detailed at the
court only a short time ago. And, says the
judge, the officer ought to be commended
for his work.
Two colored men were arrested yesterday
for lettering about the sideWalk in front of
the building, and Judge Kimball said he
hoped the officer would arrest all the loaf
ers, both in the court and outside. The
court he said, is place for the transaction
of public business, and not a place for
loafers. Persons who have no other busi-
ness will have to find some.
