OFFICE DEPUTY MARSHAL oUsTED
Appeal to the Civil Service Law
Fails to Save Him His Place.

appear ~ NnG ClNll service LAW
Fails to Save Him His Place.
Fort Smith, Ark, Dec. A.-Judge ]. H.
Rogers of the federal court has handed
down an important decision to-day in a
case involving the construction of the civil
service law. 1t was in the case of w. j.
Fleming VS.. s. f. Stahl Fleming was an
office deputy under ex-Marshal j. c.
Crump. Stahl undertook to remove
Fleming and the latter brought suit
against Stahl to restrain him from making
the removal alleging in his bill that the
position of office deputy United States
marshal was by order of President Cleve-
land placed on the qualified civil service
list and that by virtue of such order all
office deputy marshals were exempt from
removal for political reasons, were to hold
office during good behavior, and that his
removal was about to be made because he
was a democrat. A temporary restrain
ing order was granted by the court at the
time of the filing of the bill and up to this
time, Fleming and Stotts, the man APP
pointed to succeed him by Stahl, have been
working at the desk.
The decision to-day was rendered on a
demurrer to the bin and motion to dissolve
the injunction. The court held that it had
no jurisdiction to restrain a removal upon
the facts stated in the bill.
In regard to the effect of the order of
the President by which Office deputy mar
shals were placed in the classified civil
service, the court said: "The civil SER
vice law never contemplated that the
President or the commission, or both,
could make any rule or regulation which
could have the force and effect of law.
True, the President may make rules and
regulation administrative, in their nature
which would govern the policy of his adj
minis tration and he could enforce the same
by the removal of any person from office
who refused to abide thereby, but they
could not have the force and effect of
law, nor would the courts enforce them.
Such rules and regulations are purely ad-
ministrative and may be altered, amended
or approved by the President at any time
or by his successor in Office"
The injunction was dissolved and the
bill Is dismissed at the cost Of the plain
tiff, Fleming.

of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.

CHINA VIKING UP.

Lii Hung Chang asked a great many questions when he was on his travels in Europe and this country, and he saw much. He learned something about the proud place Woman occupies in the most highly civilized lands, even if he did not get correct answers from all the women whom he asked to tell him how old they were. Since his return, as shown by the Independent, he has appointed Dr. Rachel Q. Benn, of Tien- Tsin, physician to the women of his household. Two other women are men, ing much to break up the subjection of their sex in China. They are Miss Wang and Dr. Eng, just appointed del- egates to the woman's congress to be held in London in 1898. Dr. Eng is a graduate of Wesleyan university in this country. She is a daughter of an aristocratic family in Fuchau. Her
 
 to Christianity years ago, and for mary years have been ministers of the Meth odist Church in China. Dr. Eng grad uated in medicine also at the Woman's medical college in Philadelphia, and since her return to China her profess sional success has been so great that she is regarded by her people as a mir acle worker, though of course she prac- tices only on the regular lines. It will be slow work to convince the preiudiced Chinese that large and well filled heads are better for women than little feet, but a promising beginning has been made. And that is much, for China has been very reluctant to admit that she could learn anything from "the foreign devils"

ALARGE ROYAL HELD.

The megalomania of the emperor of
 Germany doesn't appear to be miti-
 gated by years and experience. How
 seriously he still takes himself was
 shown in his speech at Coblentz the other day when he said; My grand father went forth from Coblentz to
 mount the throne as the chosen instru- ment of the Lord, and as such he re- garded himself. For all of us, more especially for us princes, he raised the throne on high, crowning it with the bright rays of the treasure which may we ever preserve in it's sub- limity and holiness. I mean the king dom, by the grace of God, the kingdom With it's duties, it's never-ending, ever- enduring tolls and labors, with it's aw- ful responsibility to the Creator alone, from which no man, no minister, no house of parliament, no people can re- lease the prince
 If this "divinely appointed'' egotist will take it out in mere talk he can be endured. But all Europe is afraid that in one of his megalomaniac moods he will feel directed by the Lord to break the peace.
