no law i $ to be construed so as to amount
10 delegation of legislative authority
that can be avoided.
There is nothing in the language of the
act or the objects which II processes 20
attain which makes IL necessary 10 at
tribute such executive power TO the coin
mission or the President. The act nowhere
requires that the power OF removal vested
in tie head of a department should be
abridged, except in the single partic ular
of removal for refusal to contribute for
partisan purposes.
The secouu section provides an enumera-
ton of the objects for which the rules are
to provide. They are for competitive ex-
animation for appointment by selection
from those graded services OF those highest
as the result of such examination: for aD-
portionInent of the appointments among

SONS In the public service: OF obligation TO
contribute To political funds. for Eon-cofn-
petitive cases in certain cases, ana for
notice to the commission OF all nominations
made by the appointing power.
IL would be a very natural interpreta-
ton. which would give TO the words and
among other things, which are preflxed
ing to convey by implication an unlimited
authority TO establish rules bearing no
relation to the objects of the law.
The simple inquiry is whether the rules
invoked by the President are such as the
act of January 16, 1883, known as the
civil service act, authorized to be estab-
hsned. In my Judgment, tney are uIJra
wires and void I have no doubt that the
President may lay down rules for the in
ternal policy OF the Administration, and
may re, ire his executive officers TO con-
form to lasm, or else TO sever their official
relat ions EFftn him, and In that sense the
rules relied ol by the complainant were
within his authority.
But such ruies are q matter between the
President and his Cabinet, and not one FOR

has any legal interest. All that l mean

ques; ion were not such as the civil service
act authorizes and DO not derive any eff

do not know anything more eimportant to
the true interests of the country than the
policy which the civil service legislation

the civil service act, the Postmaster Gen.

To partisan funds: that the power to the

MEDIUM HELD FOR ACTION
Judge Kimball Hears the Case
Against ''Dr." Matthews.
YouOg August Arnold, of Bright
wood. Tells How He Paid $50 TO
Regain Lost Affection.

"Dr Frank o. Matthews claims to be
"a spiritual medium lie processes TO be
able TO read the future, bring back lost
affection, secure Government positions
with fat salaries attached, and fill the
aching void Of dust clearinghouse with
boarders ~
This morning the doctor hung up the
receiver OF his phone TO the spirit regions
and journeyed down TO the police court
upon warrant charging him with OBJ
Gaining money under false pretens.s.
August Arnold, a youth, who SAYS he is
prominent business m an OF the thriving vii
lage of Rrightwood, was the complainant
against the doctor. rs.
Young Arnold swOreiH the warrant W hich
wasissuedlast week, that he had visited tli.
alleged spiritualist and physician at his
office, No. 1921 Vermont avenue, where the
doctor had told him that for SIS he would
secure for him the affections OF his girl,
who had lately looked upon him With dis
favor. The young Ihan promptly paid over
the money, whereupon the doctor made mys-
terioassignsin the air. passed his hands over
tie young mans body, and told him To 90
home and call on the girl, and she would
love him again.
All this did young Arnold, according to
the warraat; but somehow the ch arm did
not appear to work. Several days passed,
aud then the signing swain met the doctor
on the street. Instantly, SO he informed
the police. he was seized with ali Irresistible
desire to have the mysterious operation
repeated. and, incidentally. to part with
arrDther SIS. Again, the doctor and his
patient passed through the mystic cere-
I.lony for regaining lost love, and again
young Arnold returned to his home, full
OF hope and minus uDin OF the realm. A gain
cid time pass without any signs Of return
ing affection on the part of the girl.
Then did young Arnold take counsel
with himself, and decide that after all
$50 was $50, and as for girls, well There
are others.
Then he joErneyed down to the police
court and swore 10 all these things in
warrant, and had "Dr." Ma tthe ws arrested
Then he went home and wrote card
TO the newspapers. denying what he had
sworn to in the warrant, and saying that
lie did not have any girl and never had
such a thing in his life.
"Dr. Matthews pleaded not guilty to
the charge, an" his attorney, Mr.. Wat
son Newton, {, cred into a long srgu-
ment as to the validity Of the warrant.
but was overruled by Judge Kiuball.
Young Arnold told his story as already
detailed Detective Weldon testified to
arresting the doctor.
When / told him for why he was
wanted" said the offic.r, IN. did not deny
that it was SO. / told him he must ac-
company me to police headquarters and
he asked to be allowed to go upstairsand
get his hat and coat, followed him to
the second floor. and he at once turned
around and came down again without look
ing for his coat and hat. He was very
Nervous"
After considering the testimony Judge
kimbail said he regarded the case one
whith should be investigated by the grand
jury anG fixed the bond at $500.

Market Higher All Around and Re-
covering From the Benrs' Defnofi-
stratiou Of Yesterday.

Tire trading element was still inclined
to test the strength Of the local situation
this morning, and a sharp selling move
ment carried prices down sfraetionaliy In
the first half hour. The raid w as followed
by a general recovery under the influence
OF London buying and the execution OF
liberal commission house orders.
A new strong feature was developed Ia
General Electric. which rose almost two
points. on reports of rapidly improving busi.
ness. Among the grangers fresh buoyancy
was shown by Omaha and Kansas and
Texas. Thetendency upward dof the market
increased with the passing OF the time.
The mar ket is now higher all around. Gov
eminent bonds were unchanged.
A more confident feeling with regard TO
the rev negotiations with Spain over Cuba
prevailed IT, the street this morning, and
there was a general opinion that prices had

BEAUTIFrL HOME DESTROYED.
The Residence of tue Late Cof Brya
af Sligo Burned.


The beautiful residence of the late Col
c. o. b. Bryant at -Four Corners. two AMI
onehalf miles east OF Sligo, Nd, was
burned to the ground last night. The fne
started when strong south wind was
blowing, which makes it almost mir aculous
that the valuable cottage and outbuildincs
of the estate escaped.
Mr. q c. shaw, a watclunan, locked up
tie house when the carpenters, making
some repairs about the place. stopped work
at 6 o'clock, aud went to a nearby house

o COCK when he .saw smoke issuing from
the caves of the house.
Nothing could be done to extih guish the
flames. 3s the fire had zoo much I,eadway,
ard the hest was terrific. It was not long
before the whole building was mass of
flames and beyond help, as no fire a appara tus
was obtainable.
The opinion prevails that the fire was
caused 10y spontaneous combustion. The
gsret had a great deal Of rubbish. paint
pots and the like stored about, which lends
Ilausi5ility TO this theory.
The house was built not long ago BY
Col. c. o. r. BRYANT, at one time assistsnt
