only eighteen years old and 13S pounds

of strength. After Juggling with barrel
OF water weighing 125 pounds he lifted
man weighing ESQ pounds seated on

pearance he was greeted with thunders of
applause. He spared three rounds with

Civil Service Commissioners Proctor,
Rice and Harlow spent three hours at the
White House yesterday in consultation with
resident Cleveland as to the details
of putting the Government Printing Office
under civil service rules. There is now
no doubt that the change viii be made.
II has the endorsement of all the labor
organizations connected with the office,
including the Typographical, Bookbinders'
and Pressmen's unions, which have ex-
pressed themselves strongly in favor OF
the new order of things.
1t viii now require but two moves to
place the thousands of employees of this
great bureau as completely beyond the
reach of the spokesman as the best pro-
tected branch of the service.
PLACED BEYOND REACH.
A civil service-aarocate said last night:
ut win take but a few more months OF
President Cleveland's administration at
this rate to put the whole Government
clear beyond the reach of the office broker
politicians. The Congressman will be
free from all such pressure and can attend
to his legitimate business
The first move will be the formal execu-
tive order extending civil service rules to all
branches Of the printing office; the second

fected. 1t was to this latter subject that
yesterdays discussion with the President
was directed.
tits not an easy matterto form the printers.
binders, pnessmen, ETC., into classes accord
ing to the grade OF their services.
INVOLVED IN DIFFICULTY.
Furthermore, the preparation of examina-
lions will be involved in considerable diff
ficulties. The printers, proof readers, bind
ers and pressmen can be provided with a
practical, combined with theoretical, test
of their capability, but the molders of press
rolls, marblers of book edges, stitchers,
ETC., will present some difficult problems.
Yet even more troublesome questions
have arisen and have been successfully an
swered in connection with the navy yards
and other branches of the service.
The commission viii hold a further con-
ference with the President this week, prob
ably tomorrow, and it is confidently ex-
pected that his order applying the rules to
the printing office will be issued within ten
days.

Mr.. Stonebraker Taken in by a Bogus
Check Operator.
What appears to be clever swindle was
perpetrated yesterday afternoon upon
Mr. d. K stonebraker, agent of the Wilcox
Sewing Machine Company, at No. 1909
Pennsylvania avenue northwest. A stranger
slight build and dark complexion, who
gave his name as George Stevens, entered
the agency and after examining several
sewing machines agreed TO purchase one.
He asked that it be delivered at No. ITO
Superior street northwest and gave Mr..
Stonebraker a check for $50 from which
to take SIS.
The check was Endorsed with the name of
Mr.. G. c. Adams, of the Postal Telegraph
Company, and appeared to be all right. It
was accepted and the stranger got 81 in
change After his departure Mr.. Stone
broker became suspicious, and sent the
clerk to Mr.. Adams to see if his indorse-
ment was correct. The telegraph man
promptly pronounced the signature q forg-
cry.
The police were then notified to look
out for and arrest the so-caIled Stevens.

One Hundred and Fifty Youngsters at
the Free Bathing Beach.
Everything Was Not Just In A ppIe Pie
Order but the Boys Didn't Mind.
The Bather's Delight.

As the bells OF the city commenced to ring
out the hour oil ten yesterday morning $50
scantily-ciad youngsters, with eager, ex-
pectant looks on their faces, stood upon the
shore of the noble Potomac, Just behind the
monument. Hardly had the peal been borne
by the breeze across the common, before the
placid quiet water became as full OF kick
ing, wriggling. squirrning things as live
bait box siIled with eels.
1t was the opening OF the free bathing
beach and every boy within radius OF a
mile OF more ofthe Capitol If not already on
the scene OF operations, began at ten O'Clock
his pilgrimage TO the 1umping-off place.
For half an hour they did land office
business and never was the line OF those
waiting to register less than a square long
until far into the evening
The lockers were not ready, the board,
walks not yet flushed, but the boys were
not a bit fiuniky. They hung their clothes
on hickory limb or deposited them nicely
in tagled heap on the floor, little caring
for the time being what became OF them.
They wanted to swim and they did 1t.
1t was wonderful sight TO see with what
ease the supervisor OF the affair, PATROL
man David COtter, manages the great crowd
of mischievous, lark-loying youngsters. He
used that justly famous instrument that
