WHO IS he !?
A CIarksburgsr Contemplated Suicide at
ChlIIlcoths, Ohio.

Saturday a stranger appeared
at an undertaking establishment
at Chillicothe, and inquired how
much it would cost to have his
body embalmed and sent home.
His actions led the undertaken to
believe that he contemplated
suicide and the officers were noti-
fed and the man was arrested.
The stranger, when taken to
headquarters. informed tho
mayor that his name was George
B. McNeal, and that he had q
wife at his home in Clarksburg.
W. Va. He said he had come
here from Salt Lake City and
had been in town three days. His
profession is that OF piano
tuner, but he said that he had
only made SD at it since he had
been in town. ana this, he claim
ed, was not sufficient for him to
live upon. He acknowledged
that he was Respondent, and in
TIM he'd that he was likely to end
his life at any time. he had not

pers in his possession. to be an
Odd Fellow in good standing. he.
had been boarding since here at
the Baltimore Hotel.
McNeal told a straight enough
story, but his rambling observa-
tions and curious dazed manner
made the officers believe that he
was deranged. They had no
power to hold, and accordingly
had to turn him loose, but they
are keeping q strict watch on
him. and will prevent any TRACE
dy, if possible. -Parkersburg

ton Honorsd BY I Nice Appointment
Which No Declines to Accept.

1t is very apparent that many
persons do not fully understand
the operation of the Civil Service
rules. The TELEGRAM has re-
cevived several letters relating
to this subject. One writer says:
II cannot understand why d Rspubli-
can Administration continues to keep
Democratic employees In the Govern
are under Civil Service why cannot kse-
publicans pass better examination and
rules ai 81 ! i ~ 80 q '''',
tits plain that the writer fails
to comprehend the meaning Of
the Civil Service. When the

the Secretary Of the Treasury 81
Washington informed him that
mo removals would be made as
the men holding the positions Of
janitor, fireman, and Waterman
were under the classified service
and could be removed only upon
specific charges. Co., and that tho
Civil Service Commission ats
Washington would select their
successors. We may here add
that they might come from any
part Of the country and under
the above ruling. the chances Of
Democrats and Republicans
would be equal. Unless Presi-
dent Mckinley changes Mr..
Cleveland's order on this subject
the Postmaster and Custodian
will have no power to change the
present incumbents. Neither can
Congressman Dovener compel
the changes to be made. II all
rests with the President. The
only recommendation the au-
thorities agreed to receive in
connection with the Clarksburg
Postofice building was that Of
Mr.. Chas. Patton who WAS re-
commended by Postmaster Reed
for the position held by Mr.. M.F.
Conuell, . very nice place paying
$45. 90 per month. When the
time came for Mr.. Patton to be-
gin his work, he declined to ac-
cept the place. Since that time
the Treasury department have
taken under advisement the re-
organization of the Janitor's
force and 1t is very probable that
this position will be discontinued
and a larger force be given for
handling the mails. While this
is pending no permanent appoint
ment will be made, as il is i'm
possible to predict what the ont
