WHITE WOMAN AND NEGRO ELoPE
Great Strategy is Employed by the Pair nt
FL Reno, q. II.

FL Reno, o. II.
Ell Reno, July 16.-The Eagle here
gives the following story: FL Reno has
had an elopement in high life. Old-tim-
ers in Ell Reno remember Sandy" a
boot-sole colOred negro who loafed
around town for two or three years.
When the Cheyenne country was open
ed. Sandy took a claim out west since
which time his visits to the city have
been few and far between. While in
town. Sandy built up for himself rep
utation as masher, and at his country
residence he did hs best to keep that
reputation from suffering. Sandy,
whose sure enough name is Ed Thomp-
son, didn't feel able to manage his
farm alone. so he hired a white man
named Godfrey Greeder, and his white
family to help him. AS soon as Sandy
and Mrs. Greedr set eyes upon each
other, old man Greeder's cake was
dough. Their hearts beat as one. and
they finally resolved to fly 10 some
sequestered nook where they could
dwell happily together. with no old
man to molest or make them afraid.
Accordingly. they planned a trip fer
both families to town, and on Satur-
day Mrs. Greeder and Mrs. Thompson
(colored) went to Minco and caught
the morning train for FL Reno. and Mr..
Greedr and Sandy rode to this city in
Greeder took the Choctaw train for Ok
ahoma City, without letting Mrs.
Thompson know anything about IL.
When the men arrived Mr.. Greeder was
Mortified a, not finding his wife. Sandy
promptly volunteered TO go in search
of her. and boarded the evening train
for Oklahoma City also. BY this tine
Mr.. Greeder's suspicious were aroused
and, opening Sandy's trunk. which was
in the wagon. il was found TO contain
all Of Mrs. Greeder's spare clothing.
Saturday night Sandy telegrapehed TO
FL Reno TO have his trunk shipped to
him. This was done, and the officers
telegrapehed 10 Oklahoma City TO ar
rest Sandy when he called for it. This
part OF the program was carried out
yesterday and Sandy is now a prisoner
in the Oklahoma City Jail. He will
have a hearing tomorrow. IL was learn
ed yesterday that Sandy and Mrs
Greeder occupied the same room in
Oklahoma City Saturday night and
that they had intended 10 hunt a home
where they could live together Mrs
Greeder took her two children with her
one five years and the other three years
OF age. Mr.. Greeder is now in OkIaho-
ma City and will prosecute the guilty
parties.

Norristown, Pa, July is.-The girls
OF this town are up-to-dafe and they
don't care who knows II. So last even

This novelty occurred at the home Of
Miss Sara Gresham on Franklin eve

kins of Beaver Valley, Delaware The
leading feature was the pleasant but
difficult feat delegated to the young
gentlemen to perform. The girls were
hidden behind a screen with the ex-
ception of their shoeiess and stocking
less feet, which coyly protruded be-
meath the curtain.
The trick was for the young men 10

bewitching feet which girls was attach

men guessing correctly the greatest
number OF pedal extremities were
awarded prizes of a Trilby pin and
heart.

Promotions in the Customs Service to be
Made On Examination.

Washington, July 1.-THE president
has just promulgated a new rule modi-
flying the old customs rule OF the civil
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
service on the I'd 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 through personal or political
favoritism. The old rule would permit
these persons after they were brought
into the classified service to be advanc-
ed to many of the best paying positions
in the office without examination. I'm
der the new rule promotions can be
made only to limited extent without
examination and no promotions can be
made from one grade to another with
out appropriate examination.
