Skinned.

There is more than one way to remove
the epidernns from feline quadruped OF
the domestic variety, as the Boston girl said,
and President McKinley's dilemma with
regard to much wanted places, that are
under the civil service, seems to be gradu-
ally on the way to solution. The way in
which Pension Commissioner Evans pro-
poses to "skin the cat" in his department
is this: He has decided that pension sur
Geons, who examine patient for 81
fee, are not officers of the Government
Government at So cord. They are, there
lore, not under the protection of the civil
service law.
About 5000 out of the 1000 odd ex
amining surgeons at present on the rolls
are probably Democrats. This decision
of the commissioner, which is upheld by
an old decision, nearly twenty years old,
ofthe Supreme Court, makes the physicians
feel very anxious.
When the blanket order OF Mr Cleveland
first went into effect the Democrats felt
very happy and the Republicans very anx-
ious. When it bid fair TO relieve Mr.. Nc
Kinley from the great throng of office
seekers who might want positions that
are now securely filled, there were Re
publicans who began to think that Mr.
Cleveland was not such a bad sort after
all But now the pendulum is swinging
the other way, and every nook and loop
hole Of the situation is being searched To
see If there is not some way to evade this
order. In many departments, undoubtedly,
there is

DOUBLE MURDER.
The Shocking Crime With Which
Eta Robbins Is Charged.

Huntington, w. Va, April 10 The tri al
Of Miss Eta Robbins for the murder of
A j. Call and his daughter, Miss Nettie
Call, which occurred during the month of
July, 1896, was begun here today. The
scene Of the crime was on a small family
boat about six miles north Of here. The
murderis supposed to have been committed
about midnight and the two victims were
cut into pieces wi tn an axe.
The woman ackno Wedges the killing Of
how the unfortunate girl met her death,
The woman claims that Call entered her
room during the night and insulted her
and then attempted TO kill her with the axe,
and that a scuffle ensued She asserts
that she wrenched the weapon from his
hands and killed him. When the bodies
Of the two victims were found they were
lying across each other. and the man's
head was entirely severed from MS body,
while the heart of the young woman was
plainly visible, made so by a cash in-
glicted by the deadly weapon
The woman was born near Marietta,
Ohio, and was reared in the immediate
vicinity, coming to West Virginia shortly
before the crime was committed She is
twenty years of age and is a fairly in
tell gent woman She has employed the
best Of legal talent and the case will be,
beyond doubt most interesting

He Needs 1t, Too.

The other day, at the Portland meeting
of the Maine Methodist Conference, the
entire body joined in prayers that Presi-
dent Mckinley might be converted and
become "a good Methodist A special
prayer, offered by the Rev. DIT. A. s. Ladd,
concluded with this sstirringpetition: Make
compromise, and a leader for the right :
Barring the denominational element in
il. this is the same prayer The Times has
been saying for weeks. We expect TO see
il or the ether one answered before long.
Whether OF not the Chief Magistrate is a
good Methodist within the meaning OF
the Wesleyan constitution, we feel sure
that lie is a good man, and as such we
are confident that he cannot witness the
subversion ofthe House of Representatives,
in despite and contempt Of the Constitution
of the United States, which he has sworn
to support and defend, without Just indig-
nation On this question, we hope, with
DR. Ladd, that the Lord will make him IAN
enemy to all compromise and a leader
for the right
In the same connection we venture TO
remind all other good people, as well "a all
good Methodists,' that if the President
ought TO have their prayers, what must be
she awful need of the Speaker in that re
Ipect. 1t is remarked, and generally ac-
cepted as a fact, that Satan trembles
when he sees the meauest saint upon his
knees" If the anguish OF the Evil One is
ln the direct ratio of the saint mcanness,
imagine what a congestive chill he would
have iu case the prayers OF the righteous
should chance to bring the Autocrat eXtin-
guisher of the popular branch Of Congress
70 that abnormal attitude.

GORDY SINGS HYMNS.
Conde mned Murderer of Mrs. Lewis
Happy in His Cell.

Georgetown, Del, April 19.-James NJ
hanged on June l l next for the murder of
Estella Mary Gordy, seems as unaffected
as the happiest boy who enjoys the freedom
Of the streets. He shows no signs OF weak
ening, and the nerve he displays is won
derful.
He spent most of yesterday in singin z
hymns. This does not arise from any feel
ing of repentance or reIigious feTvor, caused
by desire to prepare for death, but seems
to be the nature OF the man, and bursts
from him as freely as it did the night of
the murder, when he was heard riding
along a country road singing Leaning on
the Everlasting Arms"
A great many persons still express the
belief that he will not be hanged. This is
based upon the fact that no white man
has been hung in this county since 1881,
although several have been convicted anG
sentenced to be hanged, but have escaped.
Both Robert Goldsborough and Ceilings
wood Hallet, white men, were convicted
of murder in recent years and sentenced to
be hanged but they escaped and were
never captured
These circumstances have caused Sheriff
Johnson TO be on his guard, and he keeps
a watch over Gordy day and night and
permits no one to see him.
