NEW POSTOFFICE.

Y ear and Half More Before 1t
VIII Be Completed.
Work on the new United States Postoffice
building is progressing rapidly, according
to the statements of BuiHlng Inspectors
]. II. Holmes and w. II. Oliver. At the
present time 1s2 men are employ oyed in and
about the new structure. OF these forty
five are iron workers, thirty-One timers,
forty stone masons, fourteen brCklayers,
twenty-Sevcn carpenters, fifteen skaters
and ten painters. Work on the tower which
attracts the attention Of pedestrians on
the street, is being pushed forward as
rapidly as circumstances Will allow. Quite
a force of men are employed at this point.
The tower has now reached a Leight equal
to the height OF the twelfth floor aud is
to go up fifty feet higher when the turrets
and Gaping stones are to be put on.
These will lie ten feet above the point al
ready reached.
Only a part of the roof remains to be
put on. This is the skylght OF glass
which is to cover the main floor of the
postoffice- The dimensions of this roof
will be .100x2oO feet. The interior work
of the building can be curried on to much
better advantage when this roof is on.
All the iron work has been set in place
and good part of the sheathing finished,
and as soon as this work is completed the
interior work will be begun.
The contract of laying the floors has
been awarded TO a Chicago party, who
is expected to begin work in this branch
in few days. The frame work will first
be filled in with terra Gotta and this
covered with concrete. The building, the
inspectors said, could not possibly be COM
pleted foE year and a half yet. and ii
was doubtful if it would be ready for
occupancy for two years.

POKER GAME RAIDED.
Proprietor and ii Dozen Players Are
Caught in the Act.

The police OF the First precinct swooped
down on an alleged gambling house at No.
919 E street north west, and captured a
dozen people who had been drawn to the
house in quest of the seductive American n
game. The raiding party consisted OF
Acting Sergeant Williams, Detective SUIT
ton ami Policemen Goss and Sprinkle. They
captured George Kaufmanu, the proprietor.
and ten witnesses.
Two rooms on the second floor OF the
house had neen fitted up with numerous
little tables and there were cards and
chips to burn. The officers Informed the
party that they were all under arrest a nd
after making general cleaning up or
gambling paraphernalia the party was
taken to the station house. The witnesses
were released on $40 collateral and their
names withheld from publication as they
are all young men who are employed in
the different down town stores and might
lose their situations should it be known
they were arrested in a gambling house.
It is expected that Kaufmann will plead
guilty when the case comes to trial and
thus save the necessity OF placing the
witnesses on the stand.
For some time past the police have been
suspicious that gambling was conducted
at No. 919. but were unable to obtain di-
rect evidence against the proprietor. Sow
eral of those who have lost money in the
place have recently complained to the
officers, however. and as result the
raid was made last night.

What a Helper
Our Liberal
Credit System is.

Have you let it help you yet?
Do so by all means. Was there
ever such liberality offered you
before? Those stores are very
few who are willing to let you
have just what you want and let
you take your own lime to pay
the bill.
But we make it a business.
We can do it because we've got
an immense capital. We've got
four stores in Baltimore doing
this very sort of business right
along, and there isn't one of
them but what is busy from morn
till night.
Now, if you've got it into your
head that we make you pay for
the accommodation for goodness
sake disperse it. Some of our
brother m er h a n t S have
been telling you that. We
would like you to come in first
and see if we do not sell cheaper
than any other store in this city.
1t is a fact! And what we have
is fine. No cheap truck-which
you should not buy-but finely
made-up garments for meu, for
boys, for ladies, for children.

The Senate District Committee will on
Monday hear the commissioners further in
regard TO street extensions The subject
will also be pressed before the subcom-
mittee on appropriations. and every eff

ginning. a i least, of an issue of bonds.
But the general sentiment is that ex-
pressed by Senator McMilan's letter. No
grounds for street uses will be paid for
except TO extend streets in conformity
with the general plan of the city, and in
line with existing streets through ex-
listing subdivisions. When new subdi-
visions are to be made, the persons in
terested in having streets opened viii
find it necessary TO dedicate the ground to
the public
An exception TO the rule may be made

opens the way 20 the Soldiers Home, An

POOR PICKINGS ARE LEFT
President Cleveland Is Extending
the Civil Service List.
his Successor VIII Find but Few Po-
sitions to Fill When He
Takes Hold.

Long before the meeting of the two
national conventions the President will
have thrown the protecting mantle OF
the civil service over practically all of
the government clerks and employees, who
are not now included In its provisions.
Fourth-class' postmasters will be left out
in the cold but they will be taken in later.
The President determined upon this course
nearly a year ago, and when the new
rules are formally adopted, they will be
put into effect at once.
The Civil Service Commission has been at
work OH the rules and regulations for
three or four months, and everything is
in readiness. Practically every employe
in the departments below the rank of
assistant secretary will come under the
new order of things. There will be mighty
poor official pickings for the next admins
tration. By the time a new President Is
ready TO be inaugurated, the only plums
in sight that have not been securely
nailed adown will be those appointments
that require the approval of the senate, and
these are few, indeed, in comparison with
the whole.
Iu this connection 1t is interesting to
note the growth OF the sentiment ip favor
of the creation of a civil pension list. This
proposition mas always Deen iElinehSely uH-
popular until a very recent period, on the
theory that it would tend to the reoogni-
tion Of an office-hoiding class. This argu-
ment has thus far proved potent enough TO
defeat legislation, and for that matter,
embarrass even friendly preliminary action
along these lines. Now, however, bill b as
been agreed upon in committees looking TO
The formation of q civil pension list, and the
civil service commission in its forthcoming
report, will make forcible suggestions of
kindred sort. The soil is being prepared
for the enactment of the necessary legisla-
ton, though it may be years before results
accrue.
The departments are full of veterans who
are praying that Congress may see it's
way clear TO fayora BILE action before many
years pass by They have grown gray in
the service, have nothing laid away for
a rainy day II they should be thrown
out they might soon become objects OF
charity To the credit of the administration
| be it said that humanity governs in the dis
! charge of clerks, and that there is a
strongly increasing reluctance TO strain
| the rules of the civil service to put out old
and tried clerks to make room for others,
| on purely political grounds.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 2.-In the confer
ence of the NJ. E. Church here today Bishop
Berry W. Warren, of Denver, read the
Episcopal address.
1t contained many Recommendations. The
address congratulated the Church upon its
advancement, Dut said that there was nue..
work yet 10 be done. The growth of the
Church during the past four years has
been 3S6 900 souls and The Methodist Church
Is now the greatest in numbers in the
world, save the Baptist and Cat hoiic
Churches.
Including probationers, there are now
in the church 2,766, 656 persons. The
Sunday schools have gained during the
four years past $50, 1858. The Woman's
Foreign Society and the Woman's
Home Missionary Society are very pros
porous.
The bishop did not recommend any ma
terial change in the time limit. or in the
mode of making appointments, but sug
gested that WISDOM might provide some
method by which, under suitable safe
guards, the pastoral term might be ex-
tended 10 meet very rare cases of emer-
gency.
THE PASTORAL TERM.
This was a direct blow AT those who are
laboring TO extend the pastoral term, and
il was greeted with wltu cheering Dy The
delegates. On the amusement question, the
address said that the church was opposed
10 all pleasures that are dissipau ung rather
than recreauve. Churches have persisted
by indulgence in what seemed 10 be at
first innocent delights
The report says that the church is op-
posed 10 lntOXlcantS, and urges the United
States government 10 SO adjust lis laws as
not to seem TO legaliZe the liquor traffic
III States where there is prohibition.
The subjects OF arbitration, capital and
labor were treated i'll d skillful ma nner
Downtown churches were commended. nd
the report said Methods Us should he
slow TO abandon them.
1t was recommended that conferences
recognize Methodist schools by accepting
diplomas from them. The report c.oSed
by saying that from all the world came
signs OF enCourag cement, and that it was
surely marching on 10 ultimate victory. The
conference accepted the report.
WOMEN QUESTION UP.
AT p. M, the committee on eligibility
which has before il the question of ad-
mitting women TO the conference, met
behind closed doors in the First Methodist
Church and held a very stormy session.
II is understood that d compromise has
been practically agreed upon by means OF
which women, who had been elected to
sit as delegates will be allowed to vote
and take part in the proceedings without
admitting tie coustitutional;ty of the ques-
tion which Is TO be referred again TO the
conference.
The conference claimants anniversary

given TO retired ministers was held to-
night. Rev. DR.. j Benson Hamilton of
