A private performance was given on
Friday afternoon at the Royal Music
Hall by Colonel CASTOR Bordeverry, wno
Is represented 10 be "the greatest pistol
shot OF the world" Two Of his tricks
were striking lie cut with a pistol-bui-
let a swinging thread, causing the de-
pendent bell to fall and ring. and he hit
from a most uncomfortable attitude the
edge of q caro- held sideways TO him.
Also, with a pistol-bullet and at short
range. he grazed the head OF an erect
Iucifer so as 10 set il ahame. But the gilt
of that exploit seemed less bright when
a bystander with a rifle performed pre-
clsely the same feat.

STRATEGY BOARD.

The strategy board met again
yesterday evening.
A full quorum being present-the
Colonel having slept of his jag
they we're ready for business.
The press censor was admitted
before the door was closed.
The Colonel opened the meeting
by asking what kind Of shells those
we're used by Sampson at the yes
terdays bombardment Of Santiago.
The Colonel said 81 see from the
press reports that trajectory shells
we're used with telling effect, and !
would like to have explained to me
what manner OF explosives these
trajectory shells were loaded with.
The doctor said that he had sery-
ed in several wars, but did not re-
member of even ducking his head
to a trajectory and therefore he
would not hazard an answer
The dry goods man knew all about
them; had loaded them when he
worked in an arsenal In the COS.
He said they we're not called TRACE
tory then, but we're known as "go
devils" He explained that they
were long and conicle in shape and
the hollow was filled with all kinds
of powder, old pieces of scrap iron
and rocks, and that cap was fitted
on the end that would explode the
shell when it hit any hard sub
stance.
The press censor was called up
and asked why he had been remiss
in placing up bulletins for the past
few days. He said the appropria-
tion had been absorbed and the
wires would not work without
greasing
The Office boy came in with the
''growler' at this and the Board
ordered him to bulletin on the
board that "the Germans did not
want any truck with us, only want
el to protect her subjects in the
Philippine islands, and asked the
United States to hold its potato of
contention until official action had
been declared.
The board before adjournment
voted the Office boy a dime and in
structed him to dust off the walls OF
the Office and buy flea powder tor
the floor.

For the past sixty years these famous White Sui

properties, and for many years previous to the civil
and long before any portion Of South Arkansas was
crossed or touched by an iron rail- many Of the best
citizens Of the southern portion Of the State were ac
customed, as the hot summer months drew on to load
their wagons with outfits and in carriages and ambu
lances and on horse back to take themselves and iami
lies for $50 miles, through the valleys and across the
hills, to spend the heated term where they could par
take Of the excellent waters Of Baker Springs Ira
dton tells US that long before the foot Of the white
man had ever rested upon the foot hills Of the Ozark

to visit these Springs which were counted the gift Of
the Great Spirit to restore to health the weak and

MINTO KNOCKED OUT
Had to Drop His Job in the Gus

Oregon Classified Civil Service Regula-
tions Come TO the Front.

PORTLAND, Dec. lS.-Civil service
regulations. in bold capitals about a
mile tall, have at last stretc he'd them.
selves athwart the path OF Oregon's
federal Office holders and insist on
being read and obeyed. Collector of
Customs Patterson Is first TO tind his
sweet dream OF absolute dominion
Dissolved into choking tog. And John
Mlnto his deputy, finds his soft inside
berth changed TO a place on the cold
outside.
A few days ago Collector Patterson
received a letter from the department
calling his attention TO the fact that
he had recommended TO position
within the civil service a mau who
had not passed the required or any
examination, with the further In
formation that such recommendation
could not be approved by the depart
ment while there should remain on
the lists names OF persons quail fed
under the law for the place.
Collector Patterson says he did not
fnd In the civil service regulations
any provision for a deputy In his Of
dee. Clerks, inspectors, weighers, ETC.,
we're all there, but no deputy. So he
concluded that the civil service Law
had not been extended to cover that
species OF functlonary aud that he
coulI be appointed from the outsiders
willing to hold the job. Therefore,
he named Mr. Mlnto for the ofi1ce OF
deputy.
Collector Patterson said last night
that the vacancy In his Office would be
dlled by promotions that would change
the stations OF several OF the employees
OF the ofilce.
As TO Mr.. Minto's pay for the time
he served, no decision has yet been
reached and lt ls the subject OF cor
respondence with the department.
But the most heart-breaklng news
In this connection Is that none Of the
irregularly appointed deputies car
have their salaries audited or paid by
the United States treasury depart
ment. No distinction appears TO bC
made between deputies Ia the office:
OF collector OF internal revenue 10 thi,
matter, both being under the Jurs
diction OF the treasury department.
