THE OHIO MAN.
Merit System No Impediment to His
 Mania for Getting Into Office

 Many people thought that the adop- ton of the merit system by the gov- eTnment at Washington sounded the death knell of Chio's ubiquity among the national flesh pots. They over looked the fact that the first congress sicnal legislation in that direction was known as the 2endleton bill, and Pen dlcton hailed from Cincinnati George r. Pendleton was the last
 man in the Forty-sixth congress who would have reduced the opportunities Of an Ohio nan by . single office. The report Of the civil service commission just issued proves that he knew his business. He formulated the law and the Ohio man did the rest.
 In the report referred to an analysis is made of the percentage of appoint n2ents under the merit system on the appOrtiOnment to which each state is entitled on basis Of population When the AbOus of the commission came to inspect the result, behold! Ohio's per cent8ge led all the rest
 n the entire list of States and ter ritc-ies only five reached the fuI qucta oE their aDDortiCnEent. The Indian Territory, Nevada, and Wisconsin stood level with their rights at 100; Naryland-alas that Eugene Higgins had not lived to read the eulOgy of his "perniciOus activity secured 1GT for each 100 of it's due, while Ohio. grand cld Ohio, that has pushed Vir- ginia from her scat as the mother of presidents-Ohio scared out of sight Of all rivals with 120 offices for every 1GG to which the cold figures entitled her to.
 Was there ever a grander tribute to the ubiquitous merit of the Ohio man? Under the merit system he gets there i'll the proportion of 120 to 75 for the sons of Illinois, 79 for Hcosiers. and T for Hawkeyes. The Neiv Yorker has to be content with G6 chances. where the Buckeye has 12) when merit holds the scale.
 But it must not he thought that these figures truly represent the sue cess of the Ohio man under the civil service examinations. Thousands Of the oflice holders credited to other states first drew breath within the magic lines that bound Ohio Senator elect Bevoridge Of Indiana is not the only Ohi0an accredited to a sister state. The offices are full of them

STORIES OF THE PAST.
Recalled By the Death of Fred Hcnry
 at Bisbee

ItCCe4liCu by the iJe1jn 0I fred iiGnTy
 at Bisbee
 Col. A. r. Banja of the Pick and Drill, who knows more of early Ari- zOnians than almost any other man. relates the following stories Of Fred Henry who died at Bisbee not long ago:
 Henry, in company with four other prospectors from Colorado, were re- turning to Prescott from a prosDec - ing trip in the Bradshaws and camD ing n small fiat surrounded by rocks and other means for cOncealment theJ were attacked by large party Of Iontos. h making the attack the Apaches TesOTted to their usual tactic, by cautiously approaching the sleep InS prospectOTs until within q few yards Of them, and there behind rocks and little piles of stone for the pur- pose the red devils patiently waitoI for daybreak to begin the assault. It Is well known that all animals are sleeping more soUndIy about daybreak than at any other time Of night: furthermore Apaches never make an attack in darkness unless circum- stances force them to do so. As soon as fl was light enough to see. with q feudisb yell that would have done credit 10 the imps of IIadcs. the murd- erous attack began. After a hard fight in which they lost all tneir. plunder, Henry and one other of the little party escaped.
 Tt is well to state in this connection and which will explain why the Apaches were such internally poor markesmen; and why they would take most desperate chances in creening So close to their intended victim: and why light was necessary in their at tacll5 on the whites. In the early days before the breech-loading fire arm with it's fixed ammunition came int3 general use, the ADaches were armed with bows, lances and the cld Missis- sippi wager. It was customary with the Apaches to mix powdered charc05I with their powder to make it hold out longer, although the practice cau5e l 1 the wager not to hold ID" for any great distance therefore the Apachet l were compelled to seek short range | to insure aucCCs3 and to conserve hia powder

HENRY M. STANLEY
African Explorer Says That England
 Should Trust Chamberlain

London, September 5.-Sr Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer, has written a letter to a friend on the Transvaal situa- ation in which he declares that the only sensible course for Englishmen to take is to trust in Joseph Chamberlain the secre- tary of state for the colonies, who is now on trial before the nation and world: a
 "If," Sir Henry writes, "these complica- tions and wearisome irritations and un- ceasing repetitions will not soon terminate they must pass to the next government and MT. Chamberlain will then have proved no better than the mediocrities who make Krugerism possible. The British na- tion is also on trial before the world, and if we shrink from compelling that irascal- ible old man of the Transvaal to deal un- justly with our countrymen, we shall sink below zero in the estimation of the world and the decline of our influence and au- thority in South Africa will be hastened."

KILLED HIS BROTHER
Moses Mccoy Confesses to Fighting a
 Duel With Charles Mccoy

Montgomery, September 5.-(Special.)- Although he was arrested as suspicious character, Moses Mccoy colored, stands self-confessed to the murder of brother named Charles Mccoy.
 He was arrested at the house of Samuel Jackson, colored, in the northern part of the city about o'clock last night by Mounted Officers Goodwin and Adams, who had been informed of the negro's presence in the city
 The story Moses Mccoy tells since his in- generation is indeed singular in that it has to do with a duel between the deceased and the prisoner. It seldom happens that duels are fought in this country, especially among brothers.
 Mccoy claims that his brothers death is due to a hand-to-hand struggle followed by a face to face duel with revolvers July 4, at Tallassee. as the sequel to a base ball game. He says his brothers revolver fail ed him, snapping each time the trigger was pulled, while his exploded five times, two shots effective. h+9i
 He says there was quarrel between sev- eral members of the ball team, and the trouble finally narrowed down to, he and his brother. They agreed to go "down the road and shoot it out"
 When the smoke had cleared, Charles Mccoy was suffering from a wound in the arm and another in the side, neither of which would have proved fatal had the wounded negro not taken the walk he did afterward. n i
 The prisoner says he remained in Tallas- see until the latter part of the month, when he was ordered to leave. He came here and secured employment in the Vest ern yards where he worked until arrested last night.
 The wounded negro survived until a week ago. After his death search of the place was instituted by family and friends, who found the murderer not The bird had flown.
 Moses says his brother requested that he be allowed his liberty, as the trouble was purely voluntary and mutual and did not blame him for what he did. How much of this negro's story is to be believed the au- thorities decline to discuss awaiting a further investigation of the case.
