The Manner OF Making q Start Needs
Much Practice.

The Manner OF Making . Start Needs
Much Practice.
A start in a swimming race is very
much like the action of a standing broad
Jump; it is spring from a mark. The
proper attitude to assume at the start
ing-line Is to have the legs bent, the
arms held back, the body leaning for
ward just as far as equilibrium will
allow. As soon as the pistol is fired,
or tho word to start is given, swing the
arms forward, and spring with all the
strength Of your legs as far out into
the water as possible. Pay no attention
70 the other competitors, and do not
look forward into the course, but give
al your thoughts TO making long leap.
This start should be low dive what
swimmers call "slip-jack"), and the
head should be brought TO the surface
a. quickly as possible by taking a stroke
under water.
An important thing TO remember Is
to have the arms in position to take
strong. steady stroke as soon as the
head comes above the surface. II will
require a great deal of practice to mas
ter all these details of the start, and
therefore it is advisable to practice
these things on the inter mediate DAYS
CT swimming. For instance, swim half
your distance one day. practice starting
the next. and then swim half your dis
tsnce the next day, and so o.
After coming out of the water the
swimmer should be well rubbed down

San Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE Califor-
MIA Hotel Mems association yesterday
decided to institute legal proceedings
to compel Major w. B. Hooper, mana
ger of the Occidental hotel, 10 pay $500

the local association raised several
thousand dollars. Major Hooper SUD-

London, Sept 1.-THE Times prints
a special article this morning on th'
many and the car, of which the fol
lowing is part:
The interview between the emperor
and the car at Goelitz consisted OF two
long talks. Emperor William was eff
| fusively arniabe and talkative and ever
rhetorical, while the car was reticient
brief and cautious. Emperor William
declared that the RuSSo-F'TenGl entente
caused him Satisfaction rather than anx-
| iety, because he regarded IL as guar
entee of peace. His speech then proceed
ed as follows:

but l believe this is substantially cor

1.-The French nation does not wish
war, but when those at the head of af-
fairs desire il, the nation is very liza

NIHIDISM AND SOCIALISM.
"In Russia you have nihslisrn, the

ness. In Germany we have scientific
socialism, the spirit of destruction, dis
guised under the mask of hypocriticai
scientific formulas spirit which is
very dangerous in a people which de-
lights in obscure philosophical concep-
tons and which lima gines it understands
what is obscure. In France what dom
mates is the thirst for overthrowing the
existing order of things-the desire of
novelty which makes possession of an
over-rfch and comfortable people when
they feel that they have time in their

NICHOLAS REPLY.
with regard to the cars reply there
are two reports current. According |
20 one, Car Nicholas shook Emperor |
William warmly by the hand and said: |

which is worthy of our united Efforts
According to the other report the |
gar seemed not altogether at ease when |
he emperor was speaking of France,
md on hearing the expression he ex-
PRESSED merely in vague terms his spe-
life intentions.
The latter version seems the more
'robable and more in harmony with the
'haracter of Nicholas. However, there

1t seems that civil service reform as
applied to the District government is TO
have another chance. Though the District
Committee at it's last session sat down
heavily upon the proposition 10 introduce
the merit system here, the question is 10
he reopened and another hearing 10 be
given, at which representatives Of various
local bodies interested in the reform will
be present and urge its adoption. While
it is true that the District Commissioners
have expressed themselves i'll favor OF the
change, yet so long as it has not been
made and has the force Of law, there is
always chance for the opening of door
here and a hole there TO cvade the true
intent of the reform. And then we may
not always have three such conscientious
men as our present triocrats.
Why any member OF Congress should
oppose the introduction OF the merit
system i'll the District while APP
plauding its application TO the service
of the general government is puZzling,
unless it be that they want To leave a
place open TO slip in an occasional con-
stituent who is unable TO pass an eXamina-
ton for The classified service of the gov
ernment. But it is against such con-
tingencies as these that the people OF the
District are concerned to guard their mu-
nicipal offices. They have right TO

Not withstandiug his rainbow record on
the financial question, the administration
has no more able aud successful monetary
missionary than Secretary Carlisle. His
speeches are always clear and logical, aed
while they may not be convincing, they
are, at least, argumentive examples OF
oretory that bear careful consideration.
The one delivered in Chicago Wednesday
evening, before organized labor, was, per-
haps, the best sound money exposition
ever heard in that city, and, although its
chief object was to support the pclicy of
the administration, it was rather cum
ningIy devised appeal for the permanent
adoption of gold standard basis. Shorn
OF its preliminary verbiage, Mr. Carlisle
uttered a great truth in the folio wing.
LABOR CANNOT BE HoARDED.

made impossible for any Senator or Rep
Tesentatives TO unload his incompetent con-
stituents upon our taxpayers.
If this is not the moving considerable Of
the opposition, 1t is difficult to under
stand what it can be. The operation OF
the merit system III the offices of The
general government has been productive
of such excellent results as TO commend
il to all who have taken the trouble TO
investigate and observe IL. Incompetent
employees have been weeded out, Others
have been kept out; the assurance OF
tenure of office based upon efficient, con-
scientionS performance of duty and proper
conduct has done more 10 stimulate the
employees in the discharge OF the work
assigned to them than can be described.
In brief, the system has worked so we'll
that its gradual extension has been a
matter of duty rather than mere devotion
to The principles and practice of civil
service reform.
Such results having been attained by
the general government, there is no good
reason in depriying the District govern
ment OF them, and it is hoped that the
members who have heretofore been averse
to it can be made to see that their oppost-
ton is ill-advised.
