His Appeal to the International Union

was expelled in September for publishing
In a Dayton. Ohio, paper. for which he
acted as occasional correspondent, certain
statements criticising the administration of
the government printing office. The de-
cision Is a long one. The main ground
taken by President Prescott in his support
of Mr.. Kennedy Is given in the following
words: .'Our organization has always jeal-
ously guarded the right of it's members to
hold whatever views they pleased (and to
express them in their own way) on all So

prejudcing their situations. We should at
least be willing to accord our members the
same rights or privileges we compel EN-
pioyers to grant Them One Of the causes
unions was the desire to assure men
greater liberty in this direction. The rise
and fall of the Knights of Labor is an evil
dence of what the possibilities are if we
fail to allow the greatest possible liberty to

A dangerous Habit.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The free use of gasoline for cleaning
clothes and other articles is a most dam
gerous habit. prevalent in Washington and
elsewhere. 1t is one of the most in1amma-
BILE of fluids and little less deadly than dy-
Mantle in its effects when exploded. Pc
tersburg, Va. was shocked 4 few weeks
ago at the awful death. by an explosion of
gasoline. of the lovely wife and baby, the
lady friend and colored servant of Mr..
Fortescue Whittle, son Of Bishop Whittle
of Virginia. while the papers constantly
tell US of other cases from its too free use.
Only few days since block on New
York avenue, near the center of the city,
barely escaped destruction from an explo-
sion caused by the tramping upon a match
by the proprietor, and doubtless many
other cases can be brought to your notice.
Cannot something be done by our authori-
ties to restrict such careless and always
dangerous use of the deadly fluid? Is there
no law that will reach 1t? Think of Its use
In hot rooms, AM especially in kitchens.
for cleaning purposes. 1t is sufficiently
doubtful as fuel, but fearfully dangerous
for other uses. X

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
While advocating the stoppage of street
cars on the near side of street crossings
please urge with equal force some better
ment of the conditions at the treasury
front-the 18th and G street junction. That
is without eXceptid in the most dangerous
place In the city-a Seritable death trap.
The present system of transferring is
wrong. The stoppage of cars for transfer
ought not to be in 18th street. 1t seems to
me that the stops by the Georgetown and
Navy Yard cars ought to be made on the
north side of the treasury near Riggs
Bank, and the stops by the 18th street line
east of 18th street, where formerly they
stopped Such an arrangement as this
would to some extent relieve the situa ton
of the worst of the danger now caused by
the passing to and fire. Of the assemblage
OF people to change cars.
As to the issuance of transfers, that is a
matter which should be arranged so as to
accommodate. the greatest number of
people. We have some illustration of the
best method of issuing transfers in that
which enables US to transfer. for an extra
two-cent fare, from the G street line to the
avenue lire. or vice versa. Why should
the passenger be compelled to risk life and
limb and to be jostled and delayed by hav-
ing TO go for his transfer TO the company's
agent at his 18th street sidewalk box? ?"
The only excuse offered by the railroad
company for the present ineonvenient sys-
tenn is, in substance, that somebody may
commit fraud against the company by I'M
prop erly using transfers. In the first place,
that pretense is 4 bugaboo--more ina gin
airy than real But, even IL 1t were real to
the full extent of the companys allegation,
then require the company or companies to
adopt some form or system of transfers
that will protect it's or their revenues, and
at the same time accommodate the public.
At least the 18th street death-trap trans
fer station ought to he Immediately ard
forever abolished. CLIFF WARDEN

Fourth-Class Postmaster.,

''The question of extending civil service
methods to the selection of fourth-class
postmasters has naturally received my at
tention since I have been at the head of
this department. But I do not :ind myself
able to make. as yet, any specific recon-
mendation on this important subject in
the line of the legislation which has been
proposed
THE order which you have recently ap-
proved, providing that when the Post
master General shall consolidate with
free delivery office any other post office,
such consolidation shall carry into the
classified service at the free delivery office
the Post Office Department roster of en-
ployes of the office consolidated, including
the postmaster, may be accepted as the
beginning and foundation not only of
better postal service Of the public a better
and more buslness-like accounting 10 this
department. but also L wise extension of
the civil service system to pestmasters It
is my purpose to proceed under the author
tty of this order as discreetly as 1 can, and
IN the long run us far as experience will
justify, 50 DIS to secure these commendahle
results"

This Is most unusual procedure, and will
undoubtedly result in the presentation to the
treasury of many gold coin that have been
withheld from it from the fear that they
would be branded light" and rejected This
branding interferes with the circulation of

SecOnd-Clnss Matter.

Concerning the abuses of second-class
mail matter. Mr.. Wilson says: Il can add
little to the reasons given by Postmasters
General B:ssell and Wanamaker for amend
nents to the law as to second-class matter,
imperatively needed to save the postal SER
vice from the enormous abuses and conse-
quent enormous loss of revenue, which no
regulation of the department or watchful-
ness on the part of its officials can guard
against Upon another feature of the sec
ond-class matter the Postmaster General
says: The volume of second-class matter
passing through the mails increases rapidly
and has reached such proportions as to re-
tard the distribution of mails in the larger
post offices and railway post offices. The
department, through its local representa-
tves. has repeatedly urged publishers to
separate their publications by states and
routes where the quantity for any one state
or territory is sufficient to justify it before
sending them to the mailing offices. and has
endeavored to show them that their own in
terests would be subserved thereby"

Civil Service.


Postmaster General Wilson says that the
civil service rules should be extended
wherever practicable. H. says:
1.-The magnitude and multiplicity of its
business operations the perfection of serv-
ice. which the people are learning to de-
n.and and TO expect of it, and the palpable
truth that such business operations Can be
carried on and such perfect service render
ed only by men trained and expert: all
these. and many other reasons, call for
such stability of tenure as alone can COM
mand or beget the requisite training. skill
and enthusiasm.
The continuity of the department should
be preserved in changes of administration
not only along the line of its subordinate
and separate service, but in that larger
grasp of its history, its daily work, and its
healthful progress. which Is found alone
with those who direct and control its chief
bureaus. 1 concrr, therefore, In the judg-
n.ent Of one of my recent predecessors,
that at least three of the assistant post
masters general should hold their offices
by a civil service or merit tenure, and not
by a political tenure. I refrain from offer
ing like opinion as to the fourth assistant
postmaster general, because fourth class
rostmasters, whose appointment Is primar-
lily allotted to him, are yet outside of that
tenure.

FRAUDS EXPOSED
Some of the Tricks OF So Called Mind
Readers Solved by DR.. Hyslop.

Some of the Tricks OF So Called Mid
Readers Solved by DR.. Hyslop.
Dr. Hyslop of Columbia college, says
a writer in the Boston Herald, has help
ed to bring down several so called mind
readers who have visited New York.
The Taylors, man and woman who
gave exhibitions III New York two
years ago and convinced nearly every
one who saw them Of the genuineness Of
their manifestations, gave private Sc
ance for the benefit Of this Colun bia
professor and some of his scientific
friends. They found hidden objects,
they picked out cards that had been Sc
lected from pack and then shuffled in
again, and all tho other familiar tricks,
with more than common success, one Of
them staying in the room and being III
the secret, and the other coming in aft
er all was ready and supposedly read
ing the partners mind.
All went well until DIR. Hyslop and a
confederate took the Taylors abaclc by
announcing that they could do the same
things. They had found that the words
used by one Of the mind readers" in
calling the other into the room wero
what gave the desired information. 1t
was discovered that by skillful arrange
ment of not more than six words sur
prising amount of information could be
conveyed This is the first time the fact
that the Taylors were not genuine mind
readers has been made public.
Another "mind reader" exposed by
DR.. Hyslop and coinvestigators was
Guibal, who gave exhibitions in New
York recently and astonished hundreds
of persons, most Of whom suppose to
this day that his tricks were bona fide
psychic phenomena. Guibal's assistant
was woman called Greville, who sat
on the stage, and who, so far as could
be seen for a long time, gave him abso-
1utely no sign Of what was in her mind.
Guibal apparently read that mind as if
it were an open book. The whole thing
was found to be- trick, and the expla-
nation is now in the archives of the So
oiety for Psychical Research. 1t is be-
lieyed that Guibal and Greville were
the same persons whose performances
had amazed London not long before.
The woman breathed very heavily, and
the code of signals lay in the manner of
her breathing, messages being conveyed
by long and short breaths, something
like the dots and dashes in the Morse
telegraph CODE

CURIOUS TEA PARTIES.
The Odd and Eternal Little Functions That
Are Held In Pearl Street.

Are Held In Pearl Street.
There is an everlasting tea party in
function on Pearl street, near Hanover
square An aroma of freshly stepped
leaves fills the air all the week, and fol-
lowing your nose to the cause you will
find it pointing down to little gloomy
Easements where teacups are perpetual
ly spread. They are all plain white
cups, and there is no display of table,
cloth or dainty cakes-just plain tea.
And the methods of the tea parties that
foregathor there are just as plain and
unceremonious.
They generally consist of old gentle
men of severely respectable appearance,
and when these old parties feel like it
they go down the basement steps and
take pinch of tea out of a caddy or
suacer, or whatever it may be kept in,
and put it in the cup and pour little
hot water on it, but never any milk or
sugar. And then, despite their eminent
ly respectable air, they dip their fingers
in the cups and stir the tea leaves about
or maybe fish out leaf and unroll it,
sometimes putting it in their mouths
and chewing it.
But, strangest thing of all, they new
or drink their tea after all the trouble
they have taken with it, In fact, they
seem to take strong dislike to the in
fusion as soon as it is before them.
Sometimes they sniff at it, and if ever
they take it into their mouths they do
but roll it around and spit it ont.
Moreover, they will do the same things
with half dozen cups i'll succession
until DR.. Johnson-unless he knew the
reason--would have cried out at the
waste Of the cheering but uninebriat-
ing beverage.
Meanwhile other gentlemen sit also

MILLS TO BE SHIPPED.

There Is No Doubt About the Movement

To Ship go Car Loads Direct Here.

Boston. Mass, January 29.--In connection
with the movement to extend the cotton
manufacturing industry into the southern
states, The Herald says that there is every
reason to believe that the manufacturers
of the coarser grades of cotton cloths viii
be practically unknown in New England
in the not distant future.
Negotiations are now pending in this
city, looking to the shipment of 260 car
loads Of mill machinery to the SOUTH most
OF it having been in use in one of the
largest cotton factories in New Hampshire.
This consignment, IL is believed, will be
followed by others, when the southern mills
now under way are completed.
In speaking on this decay of one OF New
Fngland's chief industries, Mr.. John Z.
Patrick, secretary OF the Southern Immi-
grafton and Industrial Association, who
was sent north 10 give additional stimulus
to this latest industrial movement, said that
this section had nothing TO fear, so far as
the finer grades Of cotton were concerned;
that New England would continue to be
the home OF this branch of the business
50 long as she controlled the market for
the highest skilled labor. This was where
the south was weak and there appeared TO
be no immediate prospect of Improvement
