EXTENDING CIVIL SERVICE
THE PRESIDENT TO ISSUE A
SWEEPING ORDFR.

Washington, March 1.-THE greatest
single stroke for civil service reform
yet made by any president will prop
ably be announced by Mr. Cleveland
within the coming week. The recodifi-
cation OF the civil service rules, which
has been in process for some time
will, it is said, be simplifed by MAX
ing all the rules apply to all the Of
fees still left in the gift of the execu-
tive branch OF the government alone
with here and there an isolated ex-
ception, made necessary by peculiar
circumstances.
The new order, if it go to the full ex-
tent which it is now contemplated. will
include all such nests of the spoils sys-
tenn as the mint service, all the places
in the Indian agency service below the
physicians, and all the places in the
Indian school service unprotected: the
interstate commerce commission cleric
al staff, the clerical force in the navy
yards and host of small groups and
classes which so rarely come to the
surface Of public affairs as to have been
generally overlooked in the considera-
ton Of reform campaigns.

Patrick was a myth, that he never eX-
listed, and was merely the creature of
some imaginative persons brain. An
tiquarians have worried for centuries
over the nationality of st. Patrick.
Voluminous facts have been gathered
to show that he was a Frenchman
ponderous books have been written
proving him to have been an English
man; convincing statements have been
doubt that he was a Scotchman, while
innumerable writer's have left no field
untitled to show him to have been of
pure Irish origin. Some two years
ago a learned divine read a paper in
New York proving that ST. Patrick
was born in China.
1t is necessary to merely skim over
these facts, for if the arguments le-
lating to his birthplace were taken up
at any length many columns and
pages would be required and the
reader would be no wiser at the end
than at the present time.
However, the Irish people of all
lands do not celebrate the birthplace
of St. Patrick, but the work that he
did in the, Emerald Isle. How old st.
Patrick was at the time OF his death
is matter of conjecture. Tradition
says that he lived to the marvellous
age of 120 years, but tradition is prob
ably wrong This estimate is based
on the statement that he was forty
years old when he landed in Ireland,
and that he did missionary work for
fourscore years. But there is little
to prove that he was forty years old
when ne began his religious career.
In fact, some storians say that he
was only sever years old when his
first miracle was accomplished, and in
that event he would have been eighty
seven years old at the time of his
death, much more reasonable age to
die at than the other.
The doings OF St. Patrick, which
have come down to the present time,
are nearly all OF a legendary charac-
ter. And these legends have p favor
peculiar to the neat imagination OF the
Irish peasant. For instance, there is
q typical one relating to the death bed

FIRST LOCOMOTIVE WHISTLE.

When locomotives were first built
and began to trundle their small loads
up and down the newly and rudely
constructed railways of England, the
public roads were, for the greatest
part, crossed at grade, and the engine
driver had no way of giving warning
of his approach except by blowing a
tin horn. But this, as may be mag
ined, was far from being a sufficient
warning. One day, in the year 1888,
so runs a story of the origin Of the
locomotive whistle, a farmer of Thorn
ton was crossing the railway track
at one of the country roads with a
great load Of eggs and butter. Just
as he came out upon the track a
train approached The engine-man
blew his tin horn Justify, but the
farmer did not hear it. Eighty dozen
eggs and fifty pounds of butter were
smashed into an indistinguishable
mass and mingled with the kindling
wood to which the wagon was reduced.
The railway company had to pay the
farmer the value OF his fifty pounds Of
DutIef, MS JbO eggs, MS morse anu
wagon. 1t was regarded as very ser
ious matter, and straightway a di-
rector of the company went to Alton
Grange, where George Stephenson.
lived, to see if he could not invent
something that would give a warning
more likely to be heard. Stephenson
went to work, and the next DAY had
a contrivance which, when attached
to the engine boiler and the steam
turned on, gave out a shrill, discordant
sound. The railway directors, greatly
delighted, ordered similar contriVances
to be attached to all the locomotives,
and from that day to this the voice Of
the locomotive whistle has never been

Every one knows that it was st.
Patrick who made the shamrock the
national flower of Ireland. There are
many different versions of how this
was brought about, but the one gener-
ally believed says that when the saint
began the task of teaching christian
ity to the untaught peasant folk he
had great difficulty in making them
comprehend the doctrine of the trim
ity. At last, taking piece of sham
rock, he pointed to it and in a moment
his audience saw how it was possible
for three to emanate from one.
The large portrait of st. Patrick
published here is a copy of the famous
painting given by the late John Kelly
10 St. Patricks cathedral in New
York. 1t is regarded as the best por-
trait of Ireland's patron saint the
world over.

THE BRITISH POLICY.
Labouchere Complains of the Hypoc-
racy OF British Diplomats.

London, March lin the commons
yesterday Mr.. Labouchere complained
of the kypocracy of the British policy
and claimed that the financiers were at
the root of the whole Dongola affair
Continuing Labouchere quoted from
the blue book a conversation which Mr.
Gladstone had with the French ambas-
asdor, in which the English statesman
declared that Great Britain would
never attempt to re-occupy Dongola.
The result of the present policy of the
government, according to Mr.. Labou-
chere, will be that the great powers
will unite and insist upon Great
Britain fulfilling her pledges
Sir Charles Dixie said that the Brit
ish policy would strain British rela-
lions with the powers for years. Don
COLA, he pointed out, was not in the
direction of Kasala, but in the direc-
ton of Khartoum

st. Patrick procured an immense
drum and then walked forth over
hill, dale and valley, while beating a
most laundering tattoo. Right in the
midst of his arduous Iabors hole was
knocked III the top whereupon the
snakes all stopped short on their
march to the sea
In the nick of time an angel APP
peared and mended the drum. After
this the operation was continued to
the end, without further accident.
Every reptile was supposed to have
left the island, but the saint himself
knew better. There was one snake
that behaved so badly during the or
deal that st. Patrick concluded to
was confined in the gloomy depths of
Tough Dilveen, in the Galtee noun
tains of Tipperary.
1t was understood that the prisoner
should be released from durance vile
on the following Monday, when he
would be driven out to join his fellow
crawlers in the briny deep Alas! St.
Patrick was so busy he forgot all
about it. At least they say in Upper
airy that On every Monday to this day
the hapless snake comes to the surface
of the lake and utters this plant in
Irish: Its a long Monday, Patrick"
ST. Patrick is also credited with be-
ing the only man who ever made a fire
out of snowballs. According to this
legend, he AMI his followers found
themselves one night in a barren, de-
serted part of the country, with no
shelter and terrible winter storm at
hand. 1t was bitterly cold, and they
were in danger of freezing. They
were On the top of a high mountain,
and IN the darkness they were afraid
to move about, fearing to fall
down some deep precipice.
st. Patrick was not daunted, how
ever. He told his followers to heap
up all the snow they could into one
big pile, and when this had been ac
complished he uttered a fervent prayer
TO heaven and the snow pile began to
burn. The followers sat around the
cheerful blaze and none of them suf-
fered from the cold after that.

ST. PATRICK TALES
ANNIVERSARY OF IRELAND'S
PATRON SAINT.
HIS DIFFERING PORTRAITS
Stories of Quaint Miracles Which
Have Been Handed Down for Four
teen Centuries-A Wonderful Fire
Famous Portrait that Is Owned
in America.

From every nook and corner of the
earth kindly and reverential thought
will so up March II to the patron
saint OF the Emerald Isle-St. Patrick.
In every heart and in every body
where Irish blood flows there is a len
der spot for this most unique saint.
Fourteen hundred and three years
have elapsed since st. Patrick was on
earth, for the most reliable historians
agree that he died on March II in the
year 493.
1t is not strange that there is all alb
sence OF detail concerning the facts
of the earthly career of ST. Patrick.
When a man has been dead fourteen
hundred years it is no slur to his fame
that substantial facts about him
should be missing Reliable portraits
are also scare, although there is an
abundant variety which show him tc
have been all kinds of a man Some
picture a short, fat man with a clean
shaver face, while others show tall,
thin man with q full beard. There
are still others which show q tall,
stout man Of herculean proportions
with a head like a Greek god, and
there are just as many others showing
small, slight man of studious mein
and sanity aspect. He is pictured as
being jolly and sad; happy and mel
ancholy. In fact, it seems that the
imagination of the individual artist
supplied all the facts of his physical
composition.
These many contradictory reports
have led some people to say that St.

scene OF the patron saint. His fol-
lowers were grouped around him with
sorrowing and fearful faces, and Just
before he breathed his last, It is as
serted that he was deeply touched by
their grief, and wishing to allay it,
whispered with his last breath: Take
q drop of something for my sake"
Yet st. Patrick was famous as a
temperance advocate. At the same
time. it was he who taught the Irish
the art of distillation, and the national
beverage "poteen" was named after
him. The death bed legend is told to
show his kindly nature, and while he
would invite other people to have
something, it is not on record that he
ever took anything himself.
When a boy of sixteen he was cap
tured by pirates and sold to slavery
in Ireland for seven years. The youth
was employed as swineherd on top
Of lofty mountain. Here he was
wont to mediate on the urgent neces-
sity of a little missionary enterprise
among the then emi-barbarians
One legend, which throws some light
on the way st. Patrick came to enter
Ireland, is also unique on its own &C
count, as it tells of one OF his most
wonderful miracles 1t runs in this
way:
One night his lonely vigil was
rudely interrupted by no less a per-
sonage than the devil himself. His
Satanic Majesty had adopted the eff
fectual disguise of huge stone and
attempted to brighten the future saint
by rolling on him. The lad however,
was nothing daunted, but, extracting
himself speedily, called out in lusty
voice: "Eelias! Helias!'
At the same moment the sun saw fiji
to anticipate the dawn by several
hours, and rose gloriously upon the
scene. This was too much for the
Prince of Darkness. He fed in his
natural shape, while the swineherd
resumed his post and the sun sank to
abide the regular time of rising.
st. Patrick is always associated with
the wonderful feat of driving the
snakes out of Ireland There are
many accounts of this work, but the
one generally accepted by the peasant
folk and honored by the sanction of
Colgan, the antiquarian, runs in this
way:

ed directing the secretary of war to

The house committee on irrigation of

committee providing for the convey
ance of the arid lands to the states and
territories Several bills were passed.
The most important is the Oklahoma
homestead bill which relieves home
steaders in Oklahoma of the payment
OF the purchase price of their home
steads. The bill provides that actual
and bona fide holders should acquire
a patent after five years after the pay
ment of the customary fees, without
the {paymenr per acre required by the
existing law. The secretary of the
interior had reported adversely against
the bill, and stated that if the settlers
were relieved from the payment of the
purchas price (which ranged from s125
to $3.50 per acre) the loss to the United
States would exceed $4,000, 600 The
government paid, or agreed to pay the
