DUPED BY HER HUSBAND.
Mrs. Bertha Ruebsam Sues to re
cover $500.

cover $4,000.
The rather unusual ex perience Of n wife
bringing suit for an accounting against
her husband was brought to light yester-
day, in q bill flied in equity by Mrs.
Bertha RucEsam, Her husband, the de-
fendant, is John E. Ruebsam of No. 625
f street. The name of Meitta Benkcrt,
as ''her next friend" is found in the
caption OF the bill. though the name is
not mentioned in the body OF the paper.
The Ruehsams were married July /, =,
1890, in Philadelphia. Mrs Ruehsan
had been Il music teacher and was pos
sessed OF considerable means. She loaned
her husband 81 ,5on November |, 1890,
she says. He gave his promissory note
with interest payable seini-annualIy. After
two years, the wife pays, her husband
ceased TO pay the interest regularly and
from November 1852. had not paid
more than 1927. She did not ask him
for the principal while the interest was
being paid.
Mrs. Ruebsam asserts that her husband
now answers her demands for money with
contempt and harsh treatment The loan
she made to him exhausted her resources,
and she has again sought employment as
a music teacher. On several occasions
her husband has struck her, she says,
when she asked him for money As the

CIVIL SERVICE POSITIONS.
Official Declaration as to All OF
Them To Be Issued.


Considerable uncertainty as TO the status
OF positions in the civil service still ex-
lists, even among persons in office. Whether
given place is under civil service rules
or belongs to the excepted list is often
very nice question. Even the men who
ordinarily determine such a matter some
times disagree, and then it s necessary to
refer the matter to some law officer,
usually the Attorney General. There are
number OF decisions from him on ques-
tions Of this kind.
One, for instance, is in regard to en-
ployeS in the Department OF Justice. II
settles the position OF deputies under the
United States marshal for this District. II
holds that the office deputies are under the
rules, While field deputies are excepted.
Again. among the assistants to the At
torney General, those who appear in court
are excepted, while those who do not are
protected by the rule requiring COM
petitivc examination to precede the APP
poiDtment in order TO determine the fit
ness OF applicants.
The reason for the uncertainty lies in
the rapidity with which the rules were
extended last summer by President Cleve-
land The list of appointments was so
changed that some sort of revision be
came necessary. The newspapers have
published statements as to what positions
are open to candidates without eXamind-
ton, but these have all had some errors,
including positive Statements about posi-
tons not passed upon. To furnish correct
and full Information the Civil Service Com
mission is now preparing publication
which will give the exact status nf every
place in the service up to date.
This book is now in the press, and
will he out the latter part OF this week.
1t will enable Congressman to tell just
what places are open and who are now
filling them. 1t is prepared IN answer to
a resolution -->s-Congress.
