How Appointments are Made.

Ex-President Harrison, in an article
on "A Day with the President at mis-
Desk" in the March Ladies' Home
Journal, gives the mebhod by which
appointments to pub. ic Office are made
by the president. "On- of the cabinet
otfic=rs,,' be writes, appears by APP
pOintment, accompanied by a messeu-
ger with an armlUad or basketball of
papers chiefly made up of petitions
and letters relating to appointments.
Each case has been briefed and jacket
ed, and one by one they are presented,
the secretary adding such Information
as he has, outside the papers. The
conclusions reached are nOted-to APP
point a particular person or to prose-
cute further inquiry. The post
master general brings clothes basket
full of papers, and an adjournment to
the long caoinet table is necessary in
order to display them. He takes up
the papers relating to postOffice and
briefly state, the case. Ii the case is
decided he fills in the blank on the
jacket, Appoint the president
attixes his initials, and the package is
thrown back into the basket, A whole
afternoon is often consumed in this
way

From Fortunes Hight to Poverty Flat

Ex-senator II. A. w. Tabor of Colo
RADIO who sported $4,000 night shirt
while in Washington. and owed ex-
tensive mines in Leadville and in the
Jesus Maria district. is now occupying
modest apartments in the outskirts of
Denver, for which he pays a small
rental. Many of his oldtime fawning
friends have forgotten that they ever
knew him, and being poor man now,
he has been shaken down among the
small potatoes.
The greatest mistake the old man made
was his discarding the wife and help
met of his youth for another woman.
The first wife has always stood high in
the estimation of her fellow men, while
the second has never been admitted to

Mexican Railroad improvements.

COnSldefa ole attention Is being paid
now in the City of Mexico to plans aud
projects for railroads connecting the
country east of the Sierra Madres and
the Pacific coast. The only trasconti-
mental road in Mexico at present is the
National Isthmus of Tehuantepec line.
which connects the Atlantic port of
Coatzacoalcos with the Pacific port of
Sallna Cruz. 1t is expected that tt e
Mexico, Cuernavaca and Pacific road
will be completed from the City of Mex
leo to the port of Acapulco in about
two years.
Then it is reported that the Mexican
Central will shortly continue the Qua
dalajara branch on towards San Bias
from Ameca, as the survey over the
mountains has been completed and sub
mitted to the government for approval.
In the meantime the Southern Pacific
int rests are not idle. A corps of sur
veyors is now in the field running a
line for the Mexican International from
Durango to the port of Mazatlan, and
as sOnn as this sur ey is completed aud
the preliminary details arranged the
work of building this extension will be
commenced.
The Mexican Southern will also 90
into the extension business, particular
ly as times are so good in the repu ulic:
and the line will be extended from the
present terminus at Oaxaca to Salina
Cruz on the Pacific Coast. This last
move will open up very rich mining
and agricultural region. Moreover,
the 1nter-Oceauic company is talking
of extending to the Pacific Coast, and
word is expected to be given at the
next meeting of the directors in Lon
don. So it begins to look as though
the republic would not be compelled
many years longer to depend upon the
Southern Pacific for Its connections
between the country east of the noun
tains and the Pacific Coast.

FATAL SCRAP DOWN THE GRADE.
A Mexican LabOrer Shoots at a Fore
man and Gets Killed Himself

Word reaches the HERALD Office to-
day of fatal shooting at Caples camp
fifty miles from Juarez down the Cor
ralitos grade. Official particula rs
could not be learned this morning, but
from reliable sources it was ascertained
that yesterday morning, one of Caple S
foremeu whose name was not learned.
ordered one of his Mexican wOrkmen 10
get mule for some purpose, and the
Mexican refused. The later was or
dered again, perhaps little roughly.
to obey orders, and replied with a pis-
tul shot. The bullet killed the horse
on which the forman was riding. The
American then pulled his gun, and
proved better shot than the Mexican,
for the Aztec was killed IN the ex-
| change of leaden compliments that fol-
lowed.
The foreman was then warned to get
out of the country as quickly "a he
| could, else he might lay in jail at
Juarez for six months before he could
get clear, if be succeeded even then.
SO no time was lost in getting him a
fresh, strong horse, and so away
the man put for the border. Accord
ing to reports this morning, the fore
man reached the American line sa ely {;
though at this time of writing he has
not been found by reporters.

A F~ISH-SHAPED 0 A
Graft Which Is Expected to Sal
Fifty Miles an Hour.
Not an Angle in Her Exterior Lines
The Pins Faith in q
New Propeller He Has
Perfected.

A craft which her designer confident
ly believes will skim the sea at a speed
Of so miles an hour, has just been
launched in New York city.
The BOAT is the invention of Capt.
Carl j. II. Flindt, who fbegan the actual
work of construction last Christmas.
Great secrecy was observed in build
ing the boat. There is not an angle
in her exterior lines. Steering from
the bow, which looks like a tig%urehead,
deck and keel bend gradually to the
middle of the boat, then taper to the
~overhanging stern. A pilothouse rises
like a dorsal fin from the deck, while
a row of dead lights, limiting at fishes
scales, circles the hull. Looking at the
boat, bow on, the suggestion OF a fish
is as pronounced as from a side view,
for there seems to be no beam. A foot
rail running around the deck, and pro-
tected by an iron hand-rail, is the only
point Of the structure out of keeping
with the idea Of a submarine crea-
ture.
Capt. Flindt bases his greatest hope
for phenomenal speed on the propeller.
which he holds is the greatest novelty
about the boat. There have been other
tish-shaped boats. he admits, but no
propeller like this.
She will have her engines in three
weeks, Their in a week will come on her
trial trip.
Capt. Flindt, a sailor for q yoarA
has been working out the idea of the
Gooat for IA years. He made so models
of propellers before he perfected the
device with which this boat Is fitted.
1t consists OF two steel plates, each
with two fanges, and Is expected. to
make 800 revolutions q minute under
. 50-horse power engine.
The craft is built OF oak and steel
ribs. and is 81 feet long. 81 feet beam.
and ~ feet from the lowest point Of
keel to the highest point OF deck. This
boat will draw six feet Of water. 9ho
will have two staterooms. each IL feet
long and running the width Of the ship,
q saloon 43 feet long. a machine room
and kitchen, and can accommodate 30
men.

the aeronaut. Immediately under the
balloon was fastened d~iagonally a piece
of bamboo to which were attached sails
like wings, which the aeronauts hoped
to be able to manipulate from the car
by means Of ropes. Shortly before $3.50
(July ny Andree was ready.
Then the trio, Andree, Strindberg
and Fraenkel, standing in the car, sew
cred the ropes holding the balloon,
while Andree counted: "One, two,
three" The balloon rose maiestically.
All three waved their caps and shouted:
"Greetings to all at home in Sweden"
After the narrow escape from being
driven against the rock in Sweringberg
sound, the balloon was seen moving
northward, exactly as Andree wished,
over the fiat peninsula of Hollaender-
macs. 1t will probably be driven toward
Greenland or the north coast of Amer
lea.
