JOKERS CATCH A TARTAR.

John NJ. Glen, ex-secretary Of the civil
service board, tells many funny stories of
his experiences with candidates for the po-
lice force. Most Of them are about police
men whose positions were lost or leopard
lied by the merit law. To many of the
best men on the force educational advant-
ages had been denied or they had been so
long from the schoolroOm that they had
almost forgotten the rudments.
Two Of the candidates were Michael and
Patrick McInerny. The two were from the
same precinct, but were in no wise related
Some of their brother officers arranged to
have fun with the cronies and at their in
stigatiOn a series Of questions was prepared
and mock examination ordered to which
Mike and Pat were summoned.
Pat was the first to be called before
Secretary Glenn and a number of news

not his long suit and said he preferred to be
examined orally.

the first question put.

IF Dan OLeary was IN his prime he

tive reply.
Mikes answers to other queries were
equally prompt and satisfactory. and he
was dismissed with the assurance that he
would hold his job. Later, when two Of
ficers learned that they had been imposed
upon and made targets for practical joke
they said words which would have burned
them.
Both men later on passed before the
merit board. but the secretary kept well
under the shadow of his desk during the
examination.

Four Reliable States.

The States of Indiana. Michigan. Wis
consin and Iowa have given the following
Republican pluralitics:
Iowa ........ &c. 800 Wisconsin 200
Michigan .... GO, 300 Indiana ....... Il, 500
These States have done we'll. The plu-
rality in Iowa is only 5000 less than in
1896; that in Indiana, which the Demo-
Gratis made great efforts to carry, only
5000; while that in Michigan is greater
by 1900 votes than in 1896. 1t looks as
il the gold Democrats there who voted for
Palmer two years ago had east Republic
can votes this year, or-it is more likely
as il all the boiling silver Republicans
have come back to the fold.
Wisconsin did not make quite as good
a showing, for the Republican plurality
two years ago was 10000. That wns alb
normally large, however, and the Republic
cans of the State deserve credit for hav-
ing been able to hold their own so well in
an off year when they had so many things
to fight against. Although there is n fall
ing OFF in the majority, there is IL solid Re-
publican delegation of ten members. That
is something to be proud of.-Chicago

Bowlder as a Gravestone.


A curious question has arisen in New
Jersey concerning a gravestone. 1t
seems that the relatives Of q person
who is buried in q cemetery at Eliza
beth desire to perpetuate his memory,
in accordance with his express wish,
by placing at the grave a large bowl
der which has ben brought from his
farm and adorned with a suitable in.
scription. The appearance Of the
large stone is not satisfactory, how-
ever, to some Of the neighboring lot
owners, and at their instance the au.
thoMties Of the cemetery have refused
to allow it to be placed therein. The
rights Of lot owners in respect to the
monuments which they may erect must
depend upon the particular contract
with the cemetery association or upon
the statutes Of the State In which the
cemetery is situated. It is usual for
the proprietary corporation to reserve
for itself the power Of final control
in such matters, and where that power
is exercised with discretion there is
rarely any difficulty. There are many
cemeteries in which natural powders
have been erected into very suitable
and handsome monuments.-New York
