Gus administration The employees. with
the exception of the deputy postmaster and
the janitor, are all under the civil service
and there will. accordingly, be no places
at the disposal of the new postmaster.
Hungry Republicans not already in place
will have TO await action by the President
and Congress looking to a change in the
civil service, as applied to postofices of
the first class. Il is the impression that
within year there will be a.change, under
which the appointment of registry and

TO PROTECT THE GRASS PLArs.
Clerk of Council DaiIey's Plan to
Change Sidewalks.

Clerk of Council BaiIey's Plan to
Change Sidewalks.
Some method by which grass plats in
front of houses may be protected has been
discussed by members of Council, with a
view 10 adopting a plan which would ac-
complish the desired result. There has
been no legislation on the subject. how
ever, except in prohibitory way.
Clerk of Council Bailey seems to have
suggested way which may solve tho
problem, and if carried out to the letter
would insure protection to grass plats. as
wei as enhance the beauty of streets His
idea is to pass an ordinance allowing
property owners the right to remove pave
ments to the curb, taking up that part OF
the plat which intervenes the curb and
pavement. This would throw the grass
into one plat, which would join the houses
and present a pretter appearance. Mr..
Bailey thinks the only restriction to such
an ordinance should be that paVeLlents he
not removed 10 the curb, unless the uni
formity is preserved by all property own
ers in The block agreeing to the change
The trespass heretofore has been by peo-
pie taking short cut over the grass to
get into the street from the pavement. IT
has been found almost impossible for the
police to stop 1t, for the reason the viola
ton is such that 1t would take an ofienr
for each house to catch offenders. Win
the paving next TO the curb, however there
would be no occasion for the careless 10
stroll over the green. Then property own
ers who want 10 cultivate grass in from
Of their homes, could do so with reasora.
Bile assurance that the money spent would
not be for naught
1t is not understood that such an or,]i-
nance would require. but simply authorize
the changing of walks where all the resi-
dents of a block desire 1t. This method
would, of course, abolish the various small
fences wire netting and other obstruc.
tens which now mar the appearance of
streets. Should Mr.. Bailey Law his pIan I've.

Promptly at eight o'clock the steward
of the white house opens the door Of
the state dining-room and bows to the
president. who thereupon leads the pro-
ccssion to the table.
Before going downstairs to dinner
each one of the gentlemen finds on a
table in the library an envelope ad-
dressed to himself, unscaled, with the
American eagle in gold stamped on the
envelope. Within the envelope each
gentleman discovers a card with bev-
eled and gided edges, bearing the name
Of the lady whom he is to take in to din

gram Of the table with the seats num-
bered. Two numbers are struck out

That dreadful catastrophe shocked the

quiver, but he rose calmly and went to
the door. 1t was boy with the morn
ing paper. He held also bill in his
hand, and wanted to collect the money
due to him for delivering the paper for
the month past, but WILDLY sent him
away, and stood for several minutes in
the doorway watching the crowd pass
ing in the street. Then he closed the
door, and went into his unce's room
and walked restlessly to and fro at the
foot of the bed. Suddenly he stopped
at the telephone and rang the hell
Zone seventy-five on four eiglty-two,

'TIello there" was the reply.
''Well?" said WILDLY
"You are one seventy-six instead of
one seventy-five, aren't you?"
Eyes. Did l say one seventy-Ive? !
meant one soventy-six."
"Al! right; there you are, Mr.. Wild

"Ah, see" said WILDLY; "the tine

"Good-by."
The young man turned and wallld
round the bed for another look t
Strong's face. Surely, he thought, tht
weird smile and the twinkle in the de1
mans eyes were the most remarkabs
things ever connected with a murdC
case. He could not bear to look at tle
face, so he went into his own room. IL
wondered what had caused him to over
sleep. He went to his bed and smell

WILDLY followed the gardener into
the house. How he dislilted TO see the
body again, and the strange smile on
the dead mans face! But there was no
help for it, lie must do what he could
towards bringing the criminal to JUS
tice.
The atmosphere Of Strong's room was
so close that WILDLY could hardly
breathe, and the perfume from the con-
servatory sickened him. The coroner
and his jury had arrived Indeed, they
seemed to be waiting for him. lie sat
down near window. He wondered
what they would ask him, and if he
could make intelligent replies.
The coroner opened the proceedings
with few words TO the jury, and Whid-
by thought they stared at him furtively
whenever his name was mentioned.
Then his testimony was called for, and
WILDLY felt that he was repeating word
for word the account he had given Hem
AAiChO a bllOll hullG DtlOIEs
The detective rose next and told in
careful detail how the police had been
called to the telephone by WILDLY and
first informed of the murder; how the
young man had met him and Welsh at
the door, and what was said about
whether the door was locked. He spoke
of the blood stain on Whidby's hand
and produced the cuff with the drop Of
blood on it. 1t was his opinion, he said
that the cuff could not have been worr
at the time it received the drop, nor for
at least half an hour afterwards for,
as the jury could see, the blood had
dried in such a shape as to prove thai
it had remained motionless for some
tine. Mr.. WILDLY had said that the
shirt with the cuff attached had lain on
a chair near his bed all night.
Then the coroner called for Whidby's
nightshirt, and the jury passed it from
one to the other and examined it care
fully. At that moment WILDLY rose to
call attention to the blood on the por-
there and on the corner of the sheet,
which he thought Hendricks and Capt.
Welsh had forgotten to mention, but
the coroner ordered him, rather coldly,
to sit down.
Matthews was next called, but he
could testify to nothing except that he
slept in the cottage behind the house
and had not walked during the night.
Then the coroner requested WILDLY
and Matthews to leave the room, and
WILDLY went into the library across the
hall and closed the door behind him.
