NETGHBORHOOD NOTES.


An effort is being made to secure a
collection of the Filmy Ferns OF New
Zealand for the Phipps Conservatory,
and if secured they will require new
building.
A terrible storm pas eed over south
western Pennsylvania, Monday after
noon-wrecking houses and killing
people in Pittsburg and vicinity, and
doing damage in Leechburg, Connel-
lsulle, Uniontown and other places.
A sensation was created in the Pres
byterian church of Grove City, last
Sunday, by Joseph Gordon, prominent
member of the church and teacher IN
the Sunday school, who jumped to his
feet in the middle of a sermon by the
pastor, Rev. DR.. w. j. McConkey, and
made speech opposing the views pre-
sented by DR.. McConkey. The pastor
in his sermon argued that it was an i'm
possibility for the ordinary man to live
without SHINING. When the minister
began preaching Gordon became rest
less, and finally, when the sermon was
about half over, he jumped to his feet,
saying: Brother, just one moment,
Any one who would preach like that
has never been sanctified or redeemed,
and should fall at the foot of the cross
and call 'Unclean, unclean. Gordon
then continued to upbraid the pastor
for his utterances. Some of the church
elders arose and started toward Gordon,
who subsidized however, before they
reached him Dr.. McConkey then said
'sYou people all know this brother. If
/ have not been preaching salvation ard
tie gospel Of Jesus Christ, | beg your
pardon and hope you will all pray for
me He then finished his sermon. In
the afternoon Gordon attended a meet
ing of the Salvation army in the park,
where he made an address, in which he
attacked the local ministers, saying
many of the doctrines they taught We're
the result of ignorance, and advising
the people to pay no attention to tbeiy
teachings as they lacked sanctiicatlon.
In his attacks both in the church and in
the park Gordon was supported by two
or three women.

dress at Gettysburg was read by Cor
poral Black, Prof. Harper sang Some
body's darling" and the orator of the
day, John w. Coulter, of Butler, was

Change in Civil Service Rules.

A dispatch from Washington, dated
Monday, said.
The real friends of the President, and
true civil service reform exponents give
distinct expression of their disappolnt-
ment over the yielding to the clamor OF
practical politicians and office seekers,
BETRAYED by the official signing of the
new civil service order today. 1t Will
be several days before the Civil Service
Commissioners themselves can figure
out from the complex notifications just
how far the restoration to the collection
of spoils has gone.
1t is said that 5000 places alone are
affected, but the dragnet provision IN
regard to transfers, and to restorat1ons
after displacement when the force is re-
duced furnishes new loophole for in
PRODUCING friends into the service with
out regard to competency.
Some bitter comments are heard on
the generalizing language employed IN
alleging reasons for abandoning the
barriers that had been set up. civil
service upholders argue that whereas IT
was conceded that fiduciary positions
should be exempted, the amendments
include places styled as such, which are
not known to the law which affixes
their salaries For instance, there is no
law for private secretaries to United
States Attorneys, but the order exempts
some clerk who will be unofficially
given this title.
Commissioner Proctor, Of the Civil
Service Commission was not supplied
with copy of the order until 4 p. IN,
He regards large portions of It as un-
satisfactory He says that the President
last June received some recommenda-
tions as to desired amendments in the
rules, but no attention was given, and
since the Commission has never been
consulted The order was promulgated
without any notice to the Commission.
which must execute it and be controlled
by its relaxed provisions.
