to be superintendent of the Buffalo di-
vision, and Andrew Ross, jr., his train

CIVIL SERVICE APPLICANTS.
Ought TO Re Posted on the New An.
pliCntiOn Ruins.

Persons intending TO try for govern
ment positions through civil service eX-
amlnatiors will not, in future. be treat
60 as leniently as in th- past, if their
applications are late.
The United states civil service COM
mission has ordered that the usual
dates for the regular sem-an-
annual postoiIice, custom house and
internal revenue examinations for
1898 De so changed as to allow the
widest possible use of the First Second
and Third grade basis series of exam
inatiOn questions in all examinations
Of corresponding grades. This means
that all spring examinations for the
services named will be held during the
time the departmental examinations
are being conducted,
All postOtliCe, custom house and in
ternal revenue examinations for the
spring win he held between March Is
and April %. No application will be
accepted for these examinations unless
filed by March /, and no exception will
be make to this rule. Probably before
Feb. I the local examining board will
be notified Of the exact date for hold
ing the examinations.
A rule has been made that whenever
a date iS set for the close of the re-
ceipt Of applications for a certain eX-
animation, no application will be ac-
cepted thereafter for that examination
without the special authority of the
United States commission. Local ex-
amining boards, like that in this city,
have been notified by President Porter

ScRANTON'S CURIOUS ALLEY.
In the Heart OF the city, But Little is
Known of IL.

public passageway $50 feet long,
feet wide and running from avenue
to alley through one of the most valu-
able blocks i'm the business section of
the city is one of Scranton's curiosities.
Its presence is probably not known to
more than one of every thousand per-
sons in the city.
The passageway runs from Wash
ingtOn avenue to Lee court and skirts
the rear of the board of trade building.
The whole of 1t has disappeared dur
ing the last few days in the excavat-
ing for y. W. Guernsey's new four
story building opposite the Tribune
building. Until recently low and un-
calmly One-story structure faced the
avenue and alongside il was the pass
ageWay. The latter was not. however
either useful or ornamental. Scarcely
anyone knew it existed and but few
ever made use of it,
When Mr. Guernsey bought the land
for his big music goods structure he
was glad to learn that for $50 feet along
the whole depth Of the lot there was
four feet of space which could never
be built up. This space would give
light and air for each of the four stories
of the new structure, which is to be
built against Crowells bakery on the
north Probably not until the Guern-
sey building is finished win the bottom
of the passageway be filled with dirt
and made passable for pedestrians
Nobody cares much, but some day it
will be a much travelled short cut.
The Guernsey building has already
been described in The Tribune. 1t will
have stone front and extend $50 feet
TO Lee court. Nearly all of the rear
part win be devoted to wholesale pur-
poses. The street floor front will be
used as a retail music store. There
viii be studios upstairs.

PRETTY CHRISTMAS SENTIMENT.
Public School Pupils Bid Adieu TO
the Closing Year.

There was a pretty sentiment yes
terday in connection with TIE closing
of the public schools until Monday.
Jan. ,. All over the city while the
bells We're ringing at noon the follow
ing verses from Tennyson's I'm Me-
moriam" were recited by the pupils in
concert:
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky;
The lying clouds, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out tho Old ring in the new
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go:
Ring out the false. ring in the true
Ring in the valiant man and free
The larger heart. the kinllicr nand:
Ring out the darkness. Of the land.
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
Copies of the stan2as were furn-
ishod the teachers two weeks ago, and
they were committed to memory by the
scholars.

with about half a foot more uf snow
nothing would be' lacking to make this
the most really lively Christmas Scran-
ton has experienced in many years.
Everybody says this and what every
body says must be 50.
That the business men anticipated
this is evidenced by the unusual pre-
parations made ror the holiday trade
and that they did not go amiss in their
authorizations the appearance of the
central city streets during the past few
DAYS and particularly yesterday after
noon would indicate tn a surety. Every
store where anything suitable for
Christmas gift was to be had was up
to its neck in business and i'm many
stores the force Of clerks had to be
generally increased. During certain
hours of the afternoon and early even
ing it was just barely possible to elbow
Ones way into some of the more prom
inent stores.
Every person met with was a Santa
Claus and when forty or city of these
Santa Clauses crowded themselves and
their bundles into a street car it was
only the spirit of the occasion that pre-
vented i'll nature.
CHARITABLE WORK.
The board of associated charities and
the charitable societies connected with
the various churches were not the
least busy of bodies yesterday. They
had diligently hunted up deserving
poor people, that none might be with
out a christmas pot" and if any were
wanting this very essential adjunct of
the day it was not the fault Of Chari-
table societies.
Elevator boys, idutors, messengers
and office boys are always generously
remembered in this city at Christmas
time ard this year was no exception
to the rule. Few women had more
muniticent gifts i'm proportion to their
wages than the three who do the scrub
bing at the city hall. The three of
them received $%2.75. the proceeds Of
Christmas collection in their behalf
from the city officials and clerks.
There is 10 particular attraction ar
ranged for today but the crowds will
be on the go nevertheless, enjoying the
usual general attractions. Church in
the morning, family reunions at dinner
time and the theatres i'm the afternoon
and evening is a programme that many
will follow.
The pathOs Of Christmastide, as we'll
as the joy, is nowhere more marked
than in the trivial scenes and incidents
of the street. a thinly clad girl of
about l. years of age, and whose pow
erty and friendlessness was no less dis
played in her wan face than by her
attire, was noticed hurrying along with
the crowd up Wyoming avenue early
last evening.
BOUGH OF EVERGREEN.
Under her arm she trailed a bough
of evergreen. 1t was too small TO be
termed a tree" and too large for Il
twig. but it might, by a little inc n
uity. be rugged into some semblance
of the former; it was too large to be
carried for amusemCnt-that was GER
tain. Maybe there was Il wealth Of
story in an apparently commonplace
evergreen bough in the clutch of a
poor. pinCh-faced girl, and maybe there
wasn't: anyhow. few noticed the girl on
her burden. 1t is possible that today
the insignificant bough is arranged into
some fantastic lilien to a real tree"
and there maybe a little gladness in
the heart of a poor household, over
