Coke of the supreme court OF the
District of Columbia to-day dismiss
ed the bill OF complaint Of John g
Wood, superintendent of mails at
Louisville, praying that Postmaster
General Gary and Assistant Post
master General HeAth be epjoined
from removing him from offics.
The case had been considered i in
the nature of Q test OF the power OF
removal and the delivery Of tte
opinion drew 10 the court room many
public officisls, including member .
of the civil service commission
Judge Coxe's decision was an
elaborate review of the law bearing
on removals of federal employees.
he held at the outset that it was MOI
within the power of the curt Of
equity to grant relief in matters #
appointment and removal from Office.
Then taking up the merits Of the
case, he stated that it was settled
law that the power IT removal wa
incident to the power of appoint
ment, and that both could b- exel .
cised by the head of department
in reference to subordinate officials.
Concerning the civil service law,
Judge Coke held that it must not be
construed to grant authority, either
to the civil service commission or t.
the President, to make rules con
trarv to the law itself, or of q legis
lative character. He quoted with
approval the decision OF Justice
Brewer that Congress could not
delegate it's power to legislate to

A Statistical Error,
New York World.
The prevalent impression that one
can~prove anything by statistics is
strengthened by paragraph going
the rounds of the papers to the ef-
feet that ''in England one woman in
every six earns her own Lying"
This is the story as told by care
fully prepared census tables The
actual fact is that 10 England as in
the United States nine women out of
ten earn their own living and not
infrequently the living of several
others.
In the varied employments of
housekeeper, nurse, stewardess,
cashier, tailoress and general super
intendeat of household affairs, from
the day of her marriage uutil the
day of her death or disability, the
average woman undoubtedly earns
her living and something more. The
circumstance that she generally gets
just her living and is nev.r paid any
cash equivalent for her work has
probably confused the statistical
mind and prevented its seeing this
question in its true light. But the
custom of robbing woman of the
pay she has fairly earned by unre.
m'tting work is not a good reasen
for also robbipg her of ths credit
due her.
The collection of statistics is toe
largely-if i. is not wholly-in The
hands of one sex. If the womer
have nything to do with it they
would never permit the publication
of so monstrcus a piece of misinfor
nation.

yesterday afternoon a man, giving
Pennsylvania as his home, visited
the White House aud insisted on
seeing the President.
He was poorly dressed and had q
peculiar flash to bis eye that mad
him look dangerous. He carried a
large bundle. made up of combipa-
ton of branches of young trees aud
If weeds, something in the order of
a "hoodoo" preparation. In the
center of this was Bible.
The man spoke loudly of coming
horrors which would result in a king
for this country He said that this
dire calamity was certain uuless he
could see the President and arrange
