W. A. Halsey tells q neat dog story.

g. A. staAhlins, One breezy msrnine about
ten days ago tfsey were riding down Market
street UPON the rear Of q trolley car when
the car passed over q nice. light, soft hat
which had blown between the tracks. The
hat was not injured. but the wind saye 1t
little fiirt after the car had passed and
dropped It fairly upon one Of the rails. A
big New York car was coming and ahead Of
1t big mongrel pointer dog was trotting
along. -, ,
The dog glanced at the hat, looked back
ct the car, and then, picking up the hat In
his teeth, ran over to the curb and deposit-
Cd 1t upon the sidewalk near q group Of
PAYERS who were working alongside Of the
court house. After putting the hat In 4
safe place, the dog loped after the biz car
and took his place In front Of 1t. Mr.. Hal
sey did not see the owner Of the hat nor
did Mr.. Staehlin. but they passed several
remarks about the sasaeity Of the dog.

would be better not to speak OF the inci-

HER SIXTH MARRIAGE.
Four of Mrs. Linter's Former Hus-
bands VIII BE Ushers.


A dispatch to the New York Sun from
Providence, r. l., gays: The marriage OF
Mrs. Eleanor B. Linter to her sixth hus-
band will occur next Tuesday at the
Church of Emanuel, and four of her ex-
husbands will act as ushers. The entire
marital batch would have been present,
but the fifth man met with an accident
last week and is confined to his bed.
Contrary to the ordinary run of such
affairs, the lady and all her former hus-
bands are on excellent terms. They are
also great friends Of Mr.. Augustus Thistle
wood, who Is to be the abundantly mar
ried lady's sixth husband.
The future Mrs. Thistlewood was Miss
Eleanor b. Riblet when she was first mar
ried. Her husband was Cleveland, Ohio,
man. He Is the one who Is hurt, but he
has sent her wedding present, and has
invited her and Mr.. Thistlewood to spend
their honeymoon at his place, an invita-
ton which has been accepted. -a.
In every instance the lady has obtained
a divorce without opposition. She con-
vinced her spouses that they were not
well mated and every one of them accept
ed the situation gracefully and retired re-
spectfully, with proffers OF assistance at
any time when called on. ..a
Husband No. 2 Ia a Mansfield man, Ar
thur X. Singleton. No. 8 is Hiram e.
man is Albert Edward Derbey, an English
man, and the fifth is Walter E. Devenish
Linter Of New Castle. Pa.
1t will be the turn of the last to take
Office as president Of the Eleanor B. Riblet
Club, which was organized a few years
ago by the first three ex-husbands. each of
whom has served term as presiding off,
Ger. None but men who have been hus-
bands of the lady are eligible for MEM
bership. They dine once a year, and the
ex-wife is never absent from the annual
dinner in her honor. The dinner for 1895
would have taken place earlier, but was
deferred until Monday next, the night be-
fore the wedding.
The bridegroom-elect would like to be
present. but the ironclad rules of the So
ciety bar him out until he becomes an ex-
husband, and when that will be ID not
known. The average term of Mr.. Thistle
woods predecessors was ten months
There are no children. None Of the ex-
husbands has married again.

No "Gettinx Around, the La,

From Cool Government
That there is a new order of things at
Washington, and that the civil service
rules really mean all that they say, is
evidently, not yet plain in the minds of
many who are giving the subject their at
tention. While it Is generally understood
that the rules have been extended to an
advanced degree the common idea of the
character of the positions covered, seems
somewhat vague. Beyond all, is the no.
tion that ways must exist for getting
around' the law in such an emergency as
change of administration, and that if
they do not, they will be provided. AS
consequence, there is more public talk and
newspaper gossip about the disposition of
minor places under the new administra-
ton than one might expect.
There is no reason to doubt, however.
that illusions Of this sort will speedily be
dispelled. Even though Mr.. Mckinley
were disposed to set aside or evade the
rules-an idea that, with his public ex-
pressions on the subject in mind, must be
considered more or less preposterous-the
President-elect would find his own hands
tied. The rules have been made to be
enforced; tie only method of evading them
that has been left is to break the law and
take the consequences, and what is more
they can neither be repealed nor get aside
by the act of the executive alone. 1t is
the opinion of constitutional lawyers " ho
nave consiuefeu lnlS question since tne
election, that the President has no clearer
right to suspend civil service rule, even
one of his own making, than he has to
veto legislative bill to which his sigma
ture has been affixed.
But discussion OF these points may seem
more or less superfiuous. The man who
suggests to the President-elect that he
countenances single evasion OF the civil
service rules. or a single exception to their
operation, would offer an insult that Mr.
Mckinley would resent as quickly as any
other gentleman who Is asked to violate a
promise.
The great business organization now
known as the classified service" embrac-
ing. as it does, all executive employees be-
tween the grade of officers appointed with
the consent Of the Senate and the lowest
order of laborers. will be protected from
Mr.. Mckinley has given to the American
people his word Of honor that 1t shall be SO
protected.

Collisions at Sea.
The President has issued proclamation,
promulgating the international regulations
agreed upon for preventing collisions at
sea, and fixing July 1. 1897, as the date
upon which they shall take effect. This
proclamation marks the completion of what
is regarded as one Of the most comprehen-
sive international agreements of like CHAR
acter ever effected. The twenty-five ma
tions participating control $500 600 tons of
merchant shipping, and practically all the
naval vessels of the world except the Tur-
hsh and Greek. The nations which have
not yet entered the agreement control only
10000 tons.
The new rules are already known as the
Washington rules. and are the result of the
international marine conferences, at which
twenty-eight nations were represented, on
invitation Of the United States :
During the last year and q half the ef-
forts to secure the agreement having been
