WANT TO GUST REPUBLICANS.
Democratic Leaders Dissatisfied With
Workings of Civil Serxice


There was a meeting of democrats in
the office of ex-Judge Blydenburgh last
night that, on the face of matters, has
peculiar significance. The meeting
was behind closed doors, and when it
was over little could be learned as all
present seemed loath to impart any in
formation. 1t is said that the demo-
cratic leaders are not pleased with the
civil service positions, and are dissatis-
fled with the idea Of retaining republi-
cans in offices of any kind at the city
hall, and the meeting last night was for
the purpose Of discussing the civil SER
vice rules in connection with these Of
fees. The affair was entirely informal,
there being no presiding officer and as
suming more the form of general dis
cussion. Among those present were F.
S. Andrew, the newly appointed civil
service commissioner; w. H. H. Hewitt,
Judge L. N. Blydenburgh, Assessor
John ]. Hogan and Walter Leigh.

Christmas tree and. once made, can be
used year after year. Buy up dozen
or more of 5 and 10 cent dolls, and to
add to the variety have among the
number some Japanese and colored
dolls. Dress these to represent fairies
in bright hues of spangled gauze, tar
latan or tissue paper and literally
sprinkle their hair and garments with
diamond dust powder. Each doll should
be provided with a dainty pair of fairy
wings made from spangled tissue pa
per and fastened to the body by means
of concealed wires. These wires should
be coiled to obtain motion in the wings.
and nothing better can be used than
the fine spiral coils that come out Of
WOrnout wire stitched brooms. The
least motion will set this spiral to
quiyering, causing the wings to move
as ii in fight. In like manner use the
spiral wire to attach the dolls in hover
ing positions over and around the tree.

causes jar enough to start the dolls

grave. Out Of Sc signers Of the Decla-
ration but 10 survived. OF the generals
al but Gates, Morgan and Stark were
gone John Adams was president, JEFF
ferson biding his time, Hamilton secre-
tary of war. Patrick Henry was dead,
and so also were the other great ora
tors Of the Revolution, Otis and Josiah
Quincy. American literature was at 4

In the world of letters abroad when
Washington died Moore and Byron
Were coming early into fame; Southey
and .Coleridge We're dreaming over that
Utopia they had projected in the land
Of liberty; Samuel Rogers, the banker
poet, and Wordsworth We're at the
height of their fame; Scott in 1893 was
known only as poet, and Charles
Lamb had just issued his first volume.
In that year Campbell's masterpiece
of verse, '.The Pleasures of Hope ap-
peared and reached four editions. In
the celebrated lament over the hapless
doom Of the struggling Poles, Campbell
used imagery which might have been
applied to Washington at certain crises
in his martial career-as, for instance,
the words placed in the mouth of Po-
lands champion, Kosciusko, and what
follows:
.Oh, Heavcn.' he cried, "my bleeding country
Is there no hand on high to shield the brave7
Yet, though destruction sweep these lovely plains
Rise, fellow men! Our country yet remains!
BY that dread name we wave the sword on high
And swear for her to live, with her to die!"
He said, and on the rampant heights arrayed
His trusty warriors, few, but undismayed.
Firm paced and slow, horrid front they form,
Still as the breeze, but dreadful as the storm
Low murmuring sounds along their banners fly,
Revenge or DEATH the watchword and reply
But of Washington it could never be
written. as it was Of his Polish imita-
tor:
Hope for season bade the world farewell,
And Freedom shrieked as Kosciusko fell.
