be done to exterminate them. The de-

but it is necessary to check the breed

The tenacity of life in the grasshopper

800 MORE OFFICES TO FILL.
The President Will Take That Mum.
Der From the Classified List.

Washington, July 1O.-The president
and the mem bers of the civil service
commission have held number of con-
ferences recently on the question of a
revision of the civil service rules so as
to exempt certain important places
which were included in Mr.. Cleveland 5
last extension order. A final deer
mination, however, has not been reach-
ed, but it is altogether probable that 300
fed service. These Will include deputy
collectors of customs who are in charge
of sub-stations and deputy collectors OF
internal revenue who have charge Of
the distribution of revenue stamps.
There are approximately $50 of the
places in each class.
1t is not proposed, however. to ex-
empt the places from examination. The
appointee will be ordered before the
civil service commission for examina-
ton and in case of failure his mama
must be withdrawn and another ap-
pOintment made. 1t is argued that
the positions which it is proposed to re-
store to the excepted list are of great
Importance, and that as the stations OF
these officers are officially far removed
BILE for their acts. he should have some
voice in their selection.
The bonds furnished the government
by the collectors of customs and the
collectors of internal revenue cover all
funds passing through the hands OF
agents and deputies. and it is contend
ed that it is unjust to hold collector
responsible for the honesty of a man
of whom he knows nothing 1t is prob
able the president will take action in
the matter within the next few days.

HEATING AS MATADOR.
The Well Known Laundryman Can
Appreciate the Feelings of a
Bull Fighter

A savage bull enraged by the intense
heat of a long drive dashed into DR.. IL
c. Miners yard, in which Mrs. Miner
and Mr. and Mrs. A. c. Keating were
seated, about 10 o'clock last night, and
made for the group on a gallop. Mrs
Miner and Mrs. Heating saved them
selves from injury by rushing to the
house at sight of the animal, but Mr.
keating remained to encounter him,
and narrowly escaped being gored to
death as result
The bull was one of a herd of so cat
tie which was being driven to the stock
yards on this side of the river. The cat
tie had been on the road for several
hours. For a mile before he reached
DR.. Miners yard the bull had been bel
lowing and causing the drivers trouble
by attempting to gore other animals
in the herd, and when opposite the yard
the light dresses of the two women at
tracted his attention With loud bel
low he broke from the heard and dash
ed into the yard in the direction of the
group.
The believing of the animal as he left
the herd startled the group, and they
had scarcely time to realize their dan
ger before he was upon them The
two women screamed and ran. Keating
picked up the chair he had been sitting
on and faced the animal
With lowered head and believing
madly, the bull turned on Keating- he
stepped to one side and brought the
chair down on the animals neck. The
bull turned the second time and heat-
ing repeated his maneuver. The con-
test assumed the appearance of a Span
ish bull fight with a cane bottomed
chair instead of a lance as the weapon
of defense.
The third turn the bull made was too
quick for Keating. and he was compell-
ed to drop his chair and run for the
house in order to save himself from the
animals horns. 1t was but a few feet
from the place of the encounter to the
porch, but even this short distance was
a race for life, as the animal pursued
him. He was barely a BILE to fling him
self on the porch floor and Stagger into
the house.
The drivers of the herd had by this
time reached the scene and surrounded
the animal and forced it out of the
yard. 1t was an exciting experience.

POWERS ARE EMPHATIC.
The Collective Note Demands That
Turkey Shall Stand Aside

Constantinople, July 1O.-The collect
i've note of the powers demanding a
cessation of the obstruction of the
peace negotiations which was presented
by the ambassadors to the Turkish
government yesterday is couched in the
most severe terms. 1t insists that the
frontier between Greece and Turkey be
as traced by the military attaches of
the embassies of the powers and en-
phasizes the unanimous determination
of the powers to secure a permanent
conclusion of peace.
AS. however the note does not fix a
date within which a settlement of the
question in dispute must be effected and
as it does not mention the steps it is
proposed to take in the event of Tur-
key not yielding to the wishes of the
powers, there is great doubt as to
whether the note will have the desired
effect.
