CIVIL SERVICE IN FORCE.

Chicago Police Captains Reduced to Make
Room For Eligibles.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-Seven acting police
captains have been reduced to the rank
Of patrolmen to make room for civil
kervice eligibles certified to Chief of
Police Ripley by the civil service COM
mission. This action was somewhat of
surprise.
The responsibility of the civil service
commission ceases after having certified
the eligibles and it was in the power Of
Chief Ripley to retain his captains by
ignoring the eligible list. Mayor Har-
rison, it is said, gave peremptory orders
that the civil service law should be OBJ
served.

PLOTTED A TRIPLE MURDER.

among the slaves stood him in good stead,
He was famous for the zeal he impaired to
all who labored for him He married a
native young woman In Stapa in 1872 and
the union has been great help to his for
tunes. About twenty years ago he induced
New England capital to embark extensive
ly in coffee growing in Guatemala and In
vested his own capital in the industry.
The government gave him a very adYau-
tageous shipping concession for his efforts
i'm bringing capital to the country. Cof-
growing proved wonderfully remuner-
'ative for dozen years. The negro planter
branched out in other directions. He
went to Philadelphia and contracted TO
furnish many thousands of feet of ma
hogany yearly for ten years.
There is another side to this uncommon
man. He has been a liberal patron OF edu-
catioual measures. He is wilhal a plain,
modest man, who is not known by sight
very far from home. He is tall and slender
and shows the effects of hard work, md
constant care and thought concerning lis
enormous business interests.
There are seven children in Juan
Knights home, and all have been educa-
| ted in the United States. Two Of the
boys are in a military academy in Missis-
sppi now. One daughter is an accom-
plished portrait painter in Boston. Once
year the father and mother so on trip
to New Orleans, and from theTe to New
York. They were in Europe in 1894.
The influence of Juan Knight, the negro
millionaire, is felt everywhere in the COM
mercial and financial domain of Guate-
mala-jf not in every part of Central
America. His advice is sought in all
financial projects of the government.
When a syndicate of capitalists sends to
Guatemala for an expression of opinion
concerning a bond issue in Central Amer
ica this wonderful ex-slave Is consulted
almost first of ALL When the Guatemal-
ans nearly came to arms with Mexico two
years ago Juan Knight was universally
looked to by the natives to effect peace.
His bank in Guatemala Clay is about the
solidest in the country So great is the
confidence in his integrity that some of
his oldest laborers draw their pay but
once in a half year. The millionaire plan
ter and miner of Guatemala has several
times visited the plantation in Tallapoosa
county, Alabama, where he was born and
raised. Hundreds of people there know
sall about him and remember his child
hood. In 1883, when he was in Dadeville,
he met the son of his first master, Dan
iel Upton. He had not forgotten how
Mass'r Upton and Misses Upton taught
him to read and write and all the petty
privileges they had shown their chattel,
little black John. So what did the ex-
slave boy do but employ George Upton,
a son of Knights early master to go
down to Guatemala and be q supeFnten-
dent at the mines. Not only that. The
ex-slave found that the widow of his old
master was sick and In financial distress
in Mobile, and he forthwith invested for
her sum of his money sufficient to keep
her comfortable her remaining days.

A REAL KLEPTOMANIAC.
Peculiar Case Of Countess de la Gar
die, Who PurIoins All Kinds of
Food.
From the Chicago Record.

From the Chicago Record.
One of the most singular cases of klepto-
mania within my knowledge has come to
light in Stockholm. The victim is no less
a parsonage than Countess de Ia Gardie,
who is about 10 years old and whose hus-
band is the governor of Linkoping. Her
weakness is well known in the higher cir
cles and everybody winks at her fault The
most peculiar thing about the countess Is
that she only purloins food and sweetmeats
and fruit. on account of her position She is
a guest at almost all of the swell affairs in
the Swedish capital. She goes prepared for
her adventures, having in all her dresses a
large oilskln pocket In which she does not
hesitate to secrete whole fowls fruits and
confectionery.
The guests know her failing and place
before her tempting viands, and with side
long chances at their neighbors watch the
poor countess stow them away She
watches her chance, and when she thinks
the road is clear, down go the articles into
her capacious pocket. What she does with
the food Is more amusing still. If one
chance to call on her and refreshment be
brought before one. the cake may be rec
ognized by It's age, If it be not moldy
enough to destroy ones appetite for a
week. She boards up the spoil and passes
II to her guests, 50 that a visitor TO her
home is az likely as not to be offered re-
freshment that was prepared at his own
table. The matter Is treated lightly ana
much of the amusement of an evening is
furnished by slyly watching the old count
ess when she Is at her work.

NO DIVISION OF DIOCESE.
MAJORITY OF PARISHES BELIEVED
TO BE OPPOSED To 1T.

The south Georgia Churches Mostly
In Favor of a Division, hut the
Sentiment In Middle and Upper
Georgia the other, Way.
1t is the opinion of those best informed
in the matter that there viii be no divis-
ion of the Episcopal diocese of Georgia
this year. That the creation of two do
ceses out of the state will come eventually
there appears to be no doubt in the minds
of any who have studied the question, but
there appear to be good reasons TO be
lieve that this will be deferred TO four or
five years hence.
1.-THE members of the church throughout
the state have not had time to give the
matter Of division the careful considera-
ton they should to come to the conclusion
that the division proposed is for the best
interests of the church in Georgia" said
a churchman who has been in close touch
with the division movement since it's in
ceptlon. II accordingly do not believe
when the full returns from the parishes
have been received that it viii be found
that the majority are in favor of the di-
vision. A brief time Will lead to a change
Of opinion on this score and at the gen
eral conference three years hence the
movement will probably be successfully
consummated."
AS has been previously stated. it is the
impression that the most of the South
Georgia parishes will vote in favor of the
DIVISION but the sentiment in North and
Middle Georgia is believed to be strongly
the other way.
