MODIFYING CIVIL SERVICE.

1t is asserted and reiterated in dis
patches from Washington that the
President will now issue an order
seriously modifying the Civil Service
regulations made by his mugwump
predecessor Attorney General Griggs
is quoted as holding the opinion that
''the sweeping orders made by Presi-
dent cleveland just previous to his re-
tirement from Office were for partisan
reasons and should be modified ~
This is probably not stating the case
fairly. Mr. Cleveland was traitor
to his party, in the matter OF appoint
ments as well as principle. He cared
nothing for keeping Democrats in Of
fee During both of his terms as
President he preferred Republicans,
or Democrats who were loosely bound
by party felicity. However, this Or
der proposed to be ssued by President
Mckinley is all right, SO far as it goes.
There are to be exempted from the
barnacle Civil Service operations all
bonded clerks, such as stamp clerks,
cashiers, Internal Revenue Collectors,
and Deputies, Deputy Collectors of
Customs, Assistant Chiefs OF Divis-
ions IN the Government Departments,
Private Secretaries to officials, all la
borers in the various departments,
and about one-half of the force of the
Government printing Office This will
be a fair beginning. G.-EnQuirer.

THE MAYOR KICKED.

Parkersburg, w. Va, June 23.--
The prize fight between Pete Traynor,
of England, and Herman Beck, OF
Pittsourg, which was to have been
pulled off tonight, is off. Mayor
Thomas has issued his orders to that
effect, and there is a great howl
among the crowd of pugs and sports
which have collected in town. The
Mayor says that fights have become
too frequent in Parkersburg, and are
bringing a very undesirable class Of
people to the city. The law in West
Virginia is severe against prize fight
ing, tie pcralty being term in the
penitentiary for issuing challenge,
posting q forfeit, and principals, back
ers, seconds, referees and even specta-
tors arc liable

A EL sZNEss POINT

If you expect to conquer in the battle
of today,
You will have to blow your trumpet
in firm and steady way.
The man that owns his acres is the
man who piows all day,
And the man who keeps a hummirg
is the man that's here to stay.
But the man who advertises with a
sort of sudden jerk,
Is the man who blames the printer g.
cause it didn't work.
The man that gets the business uses
brainy printers ink,
Not clatter or sputter, but an ad.
that makes you think.
And he plans his advertisements as he
plans his well-bought stock
And the future of his business is as
solid as a rock.

In Memory of Mount Tom

Wales and hills spread wide their golden prid,
That only nature can repeat,
Autumn teens, rlpens on every side
And strews her garlands a. tiny feet
AS coming light dispels the darkness,
Lifting the gathering clouds away
So comes the memory OF that gladness
Thy light Of more than sunlight ray.
Like unto castles in the dust are we,
Beside thy lifted form fair Tom,
Thou Dad'st US look, more thon thyself to see
And dusty castle change to HOME.
Home-where, though dim the eye with tears
Dwells the soul in undimmed light
Home-where the grateful spirit knows nc
fears.
And walks in love each lordly height.

WAS IT SUICIDE?
Strange Story Told by Colored
Roustabout.

The .Parkersburg Sentinel has the
following Some unknown young
man committed suicide this morning
about two O'Clock by plunging head
foremost into the river off the lower
end of the wharf boat. He was seen
as he jumped into the river by Henry
Lee, colored roustabout, who was
lying on the boat just few feet from
where the fellow jumped.
Lee stated that he had been sleep
ing there for several nights and was
awakened this morning about two
O'Clock by the supposed suicide walk
ing around the boat AS he passed
Lee, he kept muttering to himself
words that were unintelligible to Lee
and, the latter says, he woke up and
watched the fellow quite little bit
The man he describes as about thirty
years of age, slim built and wearing q
straw hat.
The man stood at the edge of the
boat for a while, looking down into
the water and muttering in a tone OF
discomfort and desperation. Sudden
ly and without warning he plunged in
to the river.
