Rule IA is amended so as to require
only non-competitive examinations to
test the fitness Of a person whom the
mead or an executive department OF the
secretary of the Smithsonian institution
shall nominate for appointment in the
classified service
The provision covering the removal of
persons in the classified service is al
tered materially in language.
Rule of the act is amended so as to
give persons honorably discharged from
service in the army or navy of the
United States in the Spanish-American
war, as, well as the veterans in the civil
war, preference in the making of APP
pointments.
Rule 8 is so amended as to exempt
persons who served in the war with
Spain from the one year limit in the
matter of reinstatement after discharge
from the service. This provision also
applies alike to the widows of such SOL
diers, but the former provision includ-
ing nurses is eliminated.
The members of the civil service COM
mittee, owing to the fact that they have
not had time to examine and study it's
provisions in detail, are not yet pre-
pared to give out a statement of the
effect of the order. A comprehensive
statement, however, will be prepared
pointing out it's consequences.

Tom and Harry took several cigars out
of the same box and then Tom took $50
on Banestar at to 2 odds, just for pas
time, and the money was well placed.
Yesterday Tom arrived in Butte and
before he had been here two hours he
picked up $40 gold piece between" the
street car rails in Main street near
Park. He went to a second hand store
and bought two trunks, in which he
proposed to carry supply of clothing
and other stuff to the Hump. In one
of the trunks was an old pair of pants.
Curiosity prompted him to search the
pockets. which yielded up $911.10 He
exchanged the dime for two nickels
and dropped them into a big machine
and 40 nickels split out into the little
cup on the right. Another drop ana
40 more nickels. He broke every ma

that if she would respect his wishes

would give her his savings of 10 years

WOMEN SCRAP.
Had the Warmest Kind of a Fight on the
Public Street.


Public Street.
Residents near the corner of Park and
Ohio early last evening witnessed a fierce
combat between two young women. 1t
was the best thing seen since THE Tur

who is known by other names, and Jennie
Doe who also has another name, met and
then the stars fell. The rainstorm cleared
up for the occasion and it was warm re-
lation of a jim dandy Graeco-Roman
bout.

COURTESY OF A STRIPED BASS.
Refrained From Eating Ki1lie and Gave
1t to a Blind Companion.

From the New York Sun.
Among the fishes in the pool of
striped bass at the aquarium two are
blind. The blind bass are looked after
in the feeding by the attendants, and
it would appear from this incident that
the other fishes are good to them, too.
One item of food supplied to the
striped bass is live killies. There was
swimming along close to the bottom of
the pool, the other day, and not far
from the center of the broad expanse.
a small kille with one of the blind bass
after it. The bass had scented the killie,
or slight as they were, felt the vibra-
ttions in the water caused by the killie's
movements. When the blind bass was
within a few inches of the killie another
and still larger bass, going faster than
the blind fish, came up astern of It, and
ranged alongside, right close at hand
and gradually, drew ahead of the blind
bass. From this position the newcomer
saw the kilie that the blind bass was
after, and turned its head inward, in
front of the blind bass nose, as though
to take it, and then quickly it swung
it's head into line again and held its
course, and passed on, leaving that
killie to the blind bass. The next in
slant the blind bass scooped the kill
lie in.
In nature a fish would undoubtedly
take what it could get that it wanted,
and it may be that in this case the
swifter-moving bass had had about all
the killies it wanted just then and
really didn't want this one, anyway;
but these fishes have been together
right here in this pool for five years
and have grown up here together, and
it seems not improbable that they
| should come to know one another as
| they would not in nature. 1t certainly
| looked here as though the bass had de-
| liberately left that killie for its blind
| brother
