The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1895-12-24

A bright spot in the great round Of police
circles this morning was about Chief Clerk
| Sylvester's desk. Some time ago Saks &
| Co., according to their annual custom,
| gave Maj. Moore a hundred orders for
| clothing for deserving poor boys.
| The administration of this generous
Christmas gift TO the public was intrusted
to Mr.. Sylvester. He has been busy for
several days receiving and Investigating
| applications for share in the benefits.
| Each case is given sufficient attention to
prevent any serious imposition.
few presents were distributed yester-
| day afternoon, but il was this morning that
Mr.. Sylvester's office was crowded with
expectant faces, some young. fresh and
bright, some marked with lines OF care,
| some with delicate, sensitive lines that
told well-known story, boys and mothers
and here and there. as the stream passed Oh,
the pretty face of an older sister.

west of Graceland. There was tall boy,
Eddie, who seemed to be in charge, Sam.
a head lower, Harry and Willie, pair az
most like twins, but really no kin, and a
sturdy, red-cheeked fellow, who was the
most energetic and intelligent OF the lot.
He said he didn' t come for anything himself,
but just knew about the other boys and came
along to see the thing through.
The twin four-year-olds stood together,
stocky pair, one in a diDgy, striped suit,
above which rose a brown head and pair
of sleepy, brown eyes. The other had on an
il!-matched assortment OF black, which made
hispink cheeks, swapping bla ok eyesand soft,
taken hair, cut short, seem handsomer. The
clerks gathered round in admiration and
one OF them started a sketch.

Mr.. Sylvester.

his button-hole danced frantically.

Then followed sharp volley OF ques-
tons as to names, residences, etc.

duck-iegged little fellows beside him.
Yes, sir; We were here this morning be- |

for the basket of bright packages at his |

his face frightened with a smile that a hnost |
brought tears of pleasure.
And the group clattered lightly out the
tiled corridor with another box of candy
to 20 round.
Applicants continued to come and go all
day, leaving scant time for Mr.. Sylvester
TO attend TO routine duties.

COMMISSION is POWERLESS
Civil Service officials Say They
Cannot Consider Printers Union.
Non-Union Men May BE Employed at
the Government Printing Office
Under Civil Service.

The agitation among the members of the
Columbia Typographical Union, concerning
the appointment of four non-union printers
at the Government Printing Office, led a
] reporter OF The Times TO call on President
| Proctor OF the Civil Service Commission
| this morning.
Mr.. Proctor said that the subject Of
appointing non-union men under the civil
service rules had not been brought before
the board. He did not care to discuss
the matter unless it were brought before
| the commissioners in an official way.
II 1t did come before the Commissioners
and objections were offered TO the appoint
ment OF noE.Inion printers, the objection
could hardly be considered by the board
with propriety. Mr.. Proctor said that all
he could do would be to point to the law on
the subject. The commission had no dis
erection outside the law. He then called
/ the reporters attention to the folio wing ex-
tracts from the la W referredto:
ANY male citizen of the United States
not under 81 years OF age and any female
| citizen not under 8 years of age may be
exainined for positions In the Government
Printing Office.
mo application for position in the Gov
eminent Printing Office, which belongs to
one OF the recognized mechanical trades,
shall be received from any applicant, who
mas not served at least i've years at the par
ticular trade to which the position for which
he applies belongs, one year of which SER
vice must have been rendered as a Journey
man.
The commissioners assert that unques
tionably, they have no right under the civil
service rules to inquire with regard to a
mans society affiliations any more than
regarding his politics.
Columbia Typographical Union has not
yet taken any definite action because of
Its grievance over the appointment of
four n-union men by Public Printer
Benedict. The resolution which was pre-
sented to the last meeting asking the dis
charge of the non-union men by Mr.. Bene-
dict is thought by many members to be
unwise, and II is not likely that this reso-
luton, or any similar one, viii be passed. |
fhere is still a strong feeling among the |
members, all OF whom think they have a |
just grievance, but no action has been de- /
cided on.

Way From the Plague.
San Francisco, Dec. 24.-The Pacific Mail
steamer San Jose arrived in port yester-
day from Panama and Central American
ports. She brings news OF an increase in
the yellow fever epidemic in Salvador.
Several foreigners have fallen victims 10
the disease, and many people who can get
away from the country are leaving for the
north and south.
The Mexican authorities are exercising
the greatest precautions in allowing goods
or passengers ashore from steamers which
touch at SalvadoreaD ports. When the San
Jose reached Acapulco only the quarantine
and custom house officials boarded her, ind
no one was allowed ashore but Purser Allen.
Before he could enter the own he had to sub
nit to fumigatiop.
The baggage or the passengers who We're
landed at Acapulco was fumiyated and dis
infected, and the passengers themselves
weSe similarly treated.
