The Mas.aohu.st. veterans preference

The supreme court of Massachusetts has
rendered decision by vote Of three to
four, offering the constitutionality of the
Veterans preference" act passed by the
legislature of the present year. The act
provides that in appointments to any po-
sition in the public service, under the civil
service act, a veteran who passes the pre-
scribed examination shall be preferred to
all persons not veterans. 1t also provides
that veterans may apply for positions in
the classified service without examination,
and appointing officers are given power,
though they are not compelled, TO appoint
or employ such veterans in the Office or
position sought. No veteran holding an Office
or employment in the public service in any
city or town can be removed or suspended,
or without his consent transferred, except
after a hearing before the mayor or select
men. Last year Gov. Greenhalge vetoed
and the supreme court held TO be uncon-
stitutional an act which differed from this
in its main substance only in this respect:
that instead of being required 10 appoint
veterans 10 vacancies in the public service
on application without examination, the
act Of 1896 provides that veterans may be
thus appointed, thus leaving the matter
optional with the appointing power. a

Thatcher WIthdra ws.

John Boyd Thacher of New York has
done the only honorable thing he
could do under the circumstances. He
has declined the nomination for governor
rendered him by the Buffalo convention.
In his letter To the notification committee
he says, in effect, that when he consented
TO run for governor it was in expectation
that the convention would not endorse the
Chicago platform and that the state cam
paign could and would be conducted on
state issues, quite regardless of the nation
al contest. On this ground he thought
that, although a gold man, he could run
on the ticket as an opponent of "bos S
rule' in the state. The excuse is a weak
one and does not relieve Mr.. Thatcher from
the compromising position in which he al
lowed himself to be placed. 1t is said
that Mr.. Bryan took hand in the fight
and insisted on TEACHERS withdrawal.
The state committee have put Wilbur F.
Porter of WATERFOWL upon the ticket in
Thacher's place. 1t will make small diff
ference when the Republican majority is
counted up in November.

A Great whist Hand.

One of the historic hands at whist was
once held by the Duke of Cumberland
a hand which at first glance seemed to
be absolutely unbeatable, but which did
not take a trick. The duke held ace,
king queen and knave in one plain suit;
ace, king, queen in another; ace and king
in the third; while in trumps he held
king, knave, nine and seven (of clubs) ;
yet with this perfectly magnificent hand
and the lead, leading also quite correctly,
he did not make a single trick.
This seems incredible, but the solution
of the problem is readily seen by the fol-
lowing facts: The four trumps lying just
over those held by the Duke of Cumber-
land-viz., the ace, queen, ten and eight
were on his left, with nine diamonds, while
on his right were five small trumps. He
led trump, which was taken on his left,
and diamond led-trumped on his right.
Another trump was led through him, which
was similarly taken, and another diamond
led, which was also trumped on his right.
Another trump led through the duke
caused his last trump but one to fall; the
last was then extracted by the player on
his left. The duke had now no diamonds,
that being the suit Of which he had held
only the ace and king. Then the diamonds
on his left were as good as trumps and
made all the remaining tricks The duke
is said to have lost wager of 100000 in
connection with this hand The story OF
this hand has appeared in several different
forms, but whist authorities agree that il
any great bet was made on it and lost the
loser was the victim of gamblers who had
sorted the cards.

Forgive Bryan but Knock the stufYIn'
Out of Him.

An old negro preacher at Fairfax court
house made this prayer few days before
Bryan came into Virginia; 40 Lord, save
this country from the hands Of them who
is tryin' to bust it up. Give us plenty of
work and good money for it so s we can
take care of our wives and children and
buy good bread and meat and pay for it.
We want to keep polyticks out of our
churches and out of our prayer meeting,
but we can't help askin' Thee to keep a
lookout for that poor miserable sinner
Bryan, who, we hear, is cummin' into this
state hand in hand with satan. We ask
Thee don't let him do no harm, and if it
amt askin' too much, please forgive his
sins that he is committin' every day and
then knock the stuffin' out of him next

Get Rich Rnving silver.

The Seattle Post Intelligencer prints the
following letter from silver man: 81 am
a poor man, but hev little home that
kin raise 500 on, and jest as soon as Mr.
O'Bren is elected and free silver is ashur-
ed, am going to buy 1S5 Mexican dollars
for my 500, and then l will send them to
the nearest mint and hev 'em melted and
coined into American dollars. Then
will buy 343 Mexican dollars with my 1S5
American dollars and hev 'em coined free
as before; then with my 342 American
dollars / will buy AIS Mexican dollars agen,
and so on until get to be a bloted mil
lonaire like Mr.. Sewell, or the supply of
Mexican dollars gives out. Say, what do
you think of my skeemp 1 know Mr..
O'Brien is nothing but a durn fool boy,
but all we want is free silver, and a durn
lot of it. So keep a shoutin', my Teller
wurkmen, till November, and we kin all

Sound Money Democrats on the OmciRI
ballot.
From the Mortified News

The sound money Democrats will be
able TO have the names of their presiden-
tial electors printed or the official ballot
for the November election. Chairman J.
b. johnson has received between 800 and
900 names on petitions sent out, which is
considerable more than the required one
per cent of voters, and will file the same in
the office of secretary of state today.
and it seems to be a quite general opinion
that if the sound money Democrats wage
as vigorous a campaign in this state as it
is reported they intend TO do, they will
capture the Democratic state organization.

of that first home formed as the result Of
Jim's message"
He began by caring only for the saving
of the city Arab: he now finds the whole
social problem on his hands. He is facing
the whole vast, complicated congeries Of
difficulties which battles churches and gov
ernments, and facing them with marvel
lous success. Around the homes have
grown up a vertabe church MILITANT
the most amazing octopus of our time.
Nothing that is human is alien TO DR.,
Bernardo.
As an illustration Of the results Of his
work, take these two cases. At the State
Founding hospital fifty per cent Of the
children die. Under the system Of DR..
Bernardo, two out of 800 have died. In
his dealing with the mothers of Legitimate
children, out of 300 only in a single case
has the mother lapsed into immortality.
But not only has his work been positively
great, il has also served as an object.lesson
to the state. After a 20 years controversy
with the government in relation to the
workhouse system, and after "scores of
thousands of children Of the state have
morally, socially, and physically perished,'
the state authorities have practically rec
ognzed the methods Of DR.. Bernardo. He
has also been the pioneer Of a great social
movement in his work of emigration. He
has already sent more than 5000 boys and
girls to Canada and other British Prov
inces, with satisfactory results. The in
dcations are that this work will increase
to still larger proportions.
Here, then, we have the story of what
one man has done. He is still in the vigor
of life. He has set in motion agencies
which will last after he has gone. What is
the source of his power and the secret OF
his success? These will be found in his
spirit and efficiency Of organization. He
has vital faith in God. His Christian
faith is the handspring of his power

MISCELLANY.
The Hermit and the Pilgrim.

Within, the holy hermit knelt and prayed.
with arms appraised above his Bonded form,
He called aloud amid the beating storm,
Invoking, for the homeless, heavens aid.
30 God" he cried, "if in this bitter night
There be but one who seeks a shelt'ring rest
Zen as Thou givest 10 the birds a nest
Lead Thou, o Lord, his falt'r ring steps Alright"
without, a lonely pilgrim, faint and sore,
Drawn thther by a laura's flick ring light
star amid the tempest-ridden night
Stood knocking at the hermits welcome door
20 man Of God, take pity ere die
And grant 10 me the refuge Of thy care
But to the anchorite, absorbed in prayer
There came no sound Of knock nor pleading cry.
When darkness with its stormful wrath hadsped
His duty done the weary hermit slept;
While he for whom that night he'd prayed and
wept
Lay at the door, unrecognized and dead.

official returns have been received at the
office of Secretary of State Brownell from
every town and the results are as follows.
