Cattle Sill Astrnx.

Chamberlain, s. d., Oct. 27.-Cattle-
men between here and the Black Hills
have been so busy this season they
have had no opportunity as yet to re
cover all cattle scattered by the storms
of last winter. Last winter hundreds
of animals belonging to cattlemen on
White river strayed TO Rosebud and
Pine Ridge reservations, and while
many of them We're recovered, there
are still many Of which no trace has
thus far been found. A roundup
wagon is TO be started out to hunt w
the strays. 1t is probable that many
of the missing cattle have fallen into
the hands of rustlers and will never
be found, while others have been
Killed and eaten by the Indians.

County Agninst state.

Chamberlain, s. d., Special.-Presho
county and the state have locked horns
over a claim of the former for about
$1,000 for costs Of cases arising in
FRESNO county, which is unorganized.
The circuit court allowed the claim but
the state auditor refused to pay it. The
county commissioners have, therefore,
authorized the commencement Of pro-
ceedings to o the amount from
the state. 1t is doubtful, however, If
the state auditor has power to pay the
amount of the claim until the legisIa-
ture appropriates the sum necessary to
do SO.

The fortieth anniversary of the Full
ton street daily prayer meeting was
recently celebrated in New York. This
meeting, which is held every noon In
a crowded business section of the city,
was established at a time of great bust

and has been held regularly since that
time. An interesting feature OF the
celebration was the presentation OF a

An important decision relating to the
power of removal from office has been
given by Judge Cox of the supreme
court of the District of Columbia. The
case was that of John G. Wood. super-
intendent of mails 1T Louisville. XIV.
who applied to the court to enjoin the
postmaster-general from removing
him. His claim was that his superior
had no right to depose him without
giving reasons, because of the civil
service rule recently promulgated by
the president, forbidding removals
from the classified service except for
Just cause and upon written charges.
Judge Cox dismissed the complaint. He
held that the power of removal Is an
incident to the power of appointment
and that both are lodged with the
heads of departments. There can be no
restrictions upon the power of remova
except by legislation, and any rules
touching the matter, whether made by
the president or civil service commits
sion, are void. The enforcement of
such rules is a matter that lies between
the president and his cabinet. In a
similar ease in the federal court at
Chicago Judge Jenkins has given a
similar decision. Under these inter-
pretations of the law there is no legal
remedy for the violation of the rule re-
Gently made, and the enforcement of
that rule must depend solely on the ex.
ecutive.

YELLED FACE AT THE WINDOW
A British Peer Who Hides Himself
From All Human Eyes.

As the Jubilee procession swept down
that magnificent metropolitan thorough
fare known as st. james street, which
extends from PiccadiIly to Pail Mall, every
window save one served as frame TO
an animated and living picture formed OF
happy faces OF men, women and children,
all glowing with excitement, curiosity ard
exuberant loyalty.
One single window remained, not closed,
but carefully screened by a thick lace
curtain n-only one window in all that
great street, window for which ST.
900 had been paid rs hire for the space
of twenty-four hours. From behind the
lace blind, invisible TO his sovereign, in
visible to the crowds that thronged the
streets below, there gazed forth the soil

three decades has been Compelled to con-

owing to the hideous aspect OF his coun-

feature that cruel fate has left unimpaired,
since it permits him to realize he full ex
tent Of his hideousness.
II is probable that the house with that
screened window will be watched in the
hope of obtaining some cIew to his Identity
For although the nobieman in question
has been living in London ever since
1870, practically concealed from view,
since no one has ever seen or spoken to
him since then, save his confiden tiai valet
his doctor, and his family lawyer, his
existence has recently become known
through the precautions adopted to pre-
serve his exclusiveness when witnessing
the jubilee procession, and, at the present
moment, all London is speculating as to
his identity.
1t may seem ircon Gel vnbie tn at his
identity should not be known, or that n

But it must be borne in mind that only
Very small number OF the Scotch and

BIr. BaIz's Complaint.

To the Editor of The Times:
There is something wrong in the postal
service of this city. / used to live for
some time in the northwest district, and
every Thursday the second mail, at
O'Clock. brought me my weekly European
letters. Since L moved to the southwest,
l do not get them any longer at that hour,
nor do l get them with the third mail. at
8 o'clock. / do not have them at all on
Thursday, but only on Friday morning
This is decidedly an astonishing discrim-
ination against a section Of the city which
is not of suburban character, but as
closely Incorporated in the main body as
any other part of 1t. Another instance
OF this unjust discrimination was told me
by a gentleman who sent his family some
where down the river. The letters ne
receives from them arrive with a steamer
at p M, but they are not delivered st
his house until the following morning
information was given to me that the
last mail of the day leaves the central
postoffice at $50 p. IN. The letter
carriers leave the sub-office at +. 50 that
they take with them only part or nothing
at all OF this mall, which, therefore, Is
simply tuned over to the following day
Probably the officials think that double
advantage for the public is gained by this;
il the contents OF the mail received by the
Ind vidual are sad, the poor fellow Will at
least have g nights respite; if, on the
contrary. they are joyful, they will brighten
q new day. But the public strongly OBJ
jects against having their feelings and
hun.oys regulated by injurious officialdom.
