APPOINTMENTS ARE ILLEGAL.
So Civil Service Commission Holds as
to Deputy MarShaIs

Washington, July 9.-The Civil Service
Commission has published its letter to the
Secretary of the Treasury of June %. ask
ing that the controller of the treasury be
requested to review his recent decision in
the matter of the alleged Illegal appoint
ment of deputy United States marshaIs.
The commissioners in their letter con-
tend that the appointments under con-
sheraton were made in violation of the
express terms Of the laws, and quote num-
erous authorities to show that the rules
ana regulations have all the force and eff
Iect OF law, and that exceptions to these
rules ana regulations can be legally made
oniy IN the manner provided by the law
+he letter concludes as follows:
mus from another point OF view also
we must arrive at The same conclusion as
indicated in the early narr of mis- discus-
SION nancy, % that the controller does
not intend to hold that, so long as a posi-
uoh once IN the classified service is not ex-
copied from the requirements incident
thereto, and appointment can be made to
such a position without compliance with
the provision of the civil service law and
fuieS requiring such appointment 10 be
made through examination and certifica-
ton by The commission; and CD that con-
sequeuuy the only question left at issue is
how II at all, a position once in the clas-
sitied service can be legally excepted or
Withdrawn from the requirements Incl
dent to its classification.
1T has already been pointed out in the
first part of this communication % that
the law Drescribes a certain definite man
ner in which only the position can be thus
Withdrawn or excepted; GU that in the
case before the controller the position was
not Withdrawn or excepted in the manner
prescribed; and 90 consequently the con-
ciusion cannot be escaped that the APP
pointment TO the position in a manner
contrary to that prescribed was illegal
ana void, and hence the person appointed
was not entitled to any compensation or
emOlument accrnine, To the nficn ;,

POPULARITY OF FALSE JEWELS.
Manufacture 10 He Carried on in

From the New York Evening Post.
Manufacturers Of imitation jewelry have
lately met with such great success that 1t
Is said The sale of genuine jewelry In this
city is less than ever before, and Il IL
also said on good authority that large
amounts of capital are soon to be invested
in the manufacture of imitation jewery.
For some time past IL has been possible
to obtain imitation iewelry in France and
England which Is difficult of detection by
experts; but the business mas never before
been taken up in this country to any
great extent.
The principal manufacturers expect to
deal in jewels of their own manufacture,
which are said 10 be extraordinarily fine

have guaranteed life OF twenty years.
The diamonds" are composition OF
glass. lead and carbon, tipped with plati-
mum, which is harder IMAM gold. Every
real stone. except a diamond Is trans
parent; without the tip of platinum these
diamonds" would also be transparent.
but with it they are given an undetect-
able resemblance to the genuine stone.
These goods are mounted in fourteen
carat gold, and so artistically that when
worn, the platinum tipping cannot be
seen. An INFINITE variety of designs, copied
from the best real models, are shown
and a price which is about 80 per cent
less than the genuine.
All the cOlOred StOnes--rubles, SapDhres,
emeralds, and turquoises-are also manu-
featured IN "A like way, and are similar
with the exception of the turquoise to the
doublet, except that they are much harder
and are made of real stone (garneO and
crystal. They are SO hard that the sur
face can be filed and no blemish made on
the stone. As genuine pearls are the most
costly of gems, so do the imitation pearls
take the lead in price. They are made of

manufacturer of some especially good imL-
ton pearls known as Venetian pearls"
is lost art, the process having been in
vented by a poor Venetian, whose secret

From I.eslle's Weekly.

The magic mirror of romance in whose
depths the spectator beheld a recurrence
of past and present events, seems almost
realized in that modern wonder, the bio
graph As in the early days, the art OF
writing was confined chiefly to the maxi
ing of records of important events for sue
ceeding generations, so the art of moving
pictures at first was content to portray
events Of more or less staple character.
in which the element of vital contempo-
raneous interest was lacking. This condi-
ton is rapidly changing, and now the bio-
graph goes hand in hand with the daily
press in presenting to nightly audiences
events which they have seen during the
day or read of in the evening papers.
With facilities for securing such scenes
rivaling the great papers themselves and
extending on well organized lines through
out America, Europe, Asia and Africa,
the biograph Is constantly exhibiting
throughout the leading cities OF the world
living moving representations of all the
great events in which mankind is inter
ested. The quickness of the delivery or
this news flor such scenes can properly
be termed news) is exceeded only by the
telegraph, and were it possible to trans
init these pictures by cable we should
without doubt be able to witness the ar
rival Of Dreyfus in France, the battle OF
the Soudan. the eruption of Mount Vesu-
vius or the Derby race at the same time
that we read the accounts in our daily pa
pers. To such perfection has the biograph
brought the manipulation of films and
pictures that but few hours are required
after the photographs are taken before
they can be presented to the audience.

Jewish mendicant is a rare spectacle

looking after the INDECENT, as the strong

our poor, has not perhaps been equaled
