Effects of New Rules That Have Been
AdOpted for the Big City

AuOpteu LOT the Big city.
The New York state civil service COM

them.
Under the new rules the finance DEPART
Vent is the most affected, where, instead Of

only sixty. In the law department where
there were formerly 100 assistants to the

been reduced to seyenty-one. In the Office
OF commissioner of accounts the examiners

TO BE CALLED FORT WRIGHT.
Designation of the New Military Posi-
Near Spokane.

BY direction of the President the new
military post near Spokane, Wash, has
been named Fort Wright, in honor of Gen.
George Wright, who was colonel of the 9th
Infantry and a brigadier general of volun-
teers. Col. Wright defeated the allied
bands of Indians near Spokane Plains on
the 9th of September 1858. He was drowned
July 80, 1865, in the wreck of the steamer
Brother Jonathan, while on his way to as
sumo command Of the department of the
Columbia. In connection with the order is
sued today the department publishes the
following:
On the morning of the 10th of May, 1855
Major Edward j. Steptoe, 10th United
States Infantry, with small command of
159 men, who had been sent into the Spo-
kane country to seize some marauderS of
the PeIouse tribe, found himself, while in
the vicinity of the Snake river, unexpect-
edly in the face of a force estimated at
from 1000 TO 1880 Spokanes, Pelouses,
Occur d Alenes, Yakimas and others, and,
after a most gallant resistance lasting
throughout the whole day, was enabled to
retreat during the night with small loss.
This fight resulted in a league of all the
n ost powerful tribes in that section-the
Spokanes, Occur d'Alenes. Pelouses, Yaki-
mas and Nez Perces. A general outbreak
took place; small parties of whites were cut

A BATH AT DAMASCUS.
The Original Turkish Affair is Not as
Enjoyable as Ours.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
Probably an accurate inference regarding
oriental conservatism may be drawn from
a visit to one of their celebrated Turkish
baths In view of the oriental origin OF TINS
form of bath, and of the further fact that 1t
is used more generally by orientals than by
Europeans or Americans, naturally e1-
pected to find something of extraordinary
merit or luxury. Entering one of the hnest,
1 was much pleased with the oriental char-
acter of the first scene, large open court
in the center of which gushed one OF the
many refreshing fountains in Damascus,
and around which on all sides were raised
platforms supporting large conolnatlo,n on
chair couches, upon which the orientals
were reclining-some mapping, some slppaus
coffee some smoking the narghileh, some
chatting and one going through the varied
postures and gestures connected with the
ninety-nine Moslem prayers he was oherlng.
Instead of being conducted to private
room, in conformity with American ana
European views of proprfety, the bather Is
expected to disrobe before this mlsceIa-
neous audience land also the outside audi
ence in the street. whenever the door is
temporarily opened, and he then stores ms
clothes in a large drawer underneath ms
couch. The publicity of the dlsroping act
is however, satisfactorily but humorously
modified by the attendants, who, by the
free use of innumerable towels, construct
a sort of temporary screen. After this the
bather is given wooden sandals with high
strips fastened to the bottom which con-
vert them into a form of silt, which upon
the feet of novice constantly threaten to
break his neck. Thus equipped he is con-
Quoted to a so-called hot room, in which the
temperature seems to about equal hot
summer day in Philadelphia. He is then
subjected to slight rubbing. his limbs are
pulled until they crack" after which, II
he desires a shower bath, a stream of cold
water is aimed at him, from an ordinary
hose, which smarts him sufficiently to jus
tify his sudden exit for shelter. He is then
wrapped in a number of enormous Turkish
towels, his head is picturesquely ''tur-
baned,' and he Is conducted to his couch,
where he can recline until sufficiently rest
ed.
In order to satisfy the curiosity it may
pay to take a Damascene Turkish bath,
but for thoroughness cleanliness and genu-
inc comfort, and the enjoyment of all the
paraphernalia with which American inge-
nuity has improved the crude methods of
the orientals, / would recommend the Eu-
ropean or American Turkish bath estab-
lishments.
The Damascenes will probably conduct
their baths in the present style for the next
century On the other hand, in America
improvement after improvement will be
made to make this exhiiarating bath still
more enjoyable and invigorating. And this,
in nutshell, tells the story of oriental con-
seryatism and American progressiveness.

THE AZTEC Mine SUIT.
Litigation in Which New Mexicans Are
Defendants.

The Denver papers, as well as some
others, have lately been publishing con-
siderable about the heirs of the late Tim
Foley, unearthing some papers that
show valuable interest in a lot of New
Mexico mines in the vicinity of Eliza
BEETHOVEN, and that a number of the best
citizens of the territory have defrauded
the estate, etc. 1t is a mighty poor way
to try a law suit In the papers, and we
will venture to say that there are two
sides to this proposed suit, as there is to
all others. We have taken some interest
in this matter and have learned to oul
satisfaction that the claim set up by
these heirs is uncertain and will be diff.
cult to establish. The most and best
part of their claim is newspaper talk
and is sensational in the extreme. Tin
Foley is remembered by the old timers
as a good, hardworking, practical miner,
but as to his claim to any Of the valuable
property hereabouts mentioned in the
aforesaid papers, it will be very hard tc

TREASURES OF TAOS AND COLPAX.
A New York Mining Mans Operations for
a Syndicate.

A. A. Newbery, of New York, a capt.
talist who represents a large New York
syndicate interested in mining ventures
in New Mexico, accompanied by o. b.
Steen of Taos county, who is in charge
OF some of the mining interests and ope-
rations of the syndicate, has been in the
city several days on business. They
have just completed a Jour to the mining
sections of Taos and Colfax counties,
during which they visited the following
districts: La Belle, ElizabethtOwn, Red
River, Hematite, Amizett and also the
new camp on the Pecos forest reserve,
named U. S. Park Camp. Mr.. Newbery
is very enthusiastic concerning the rich
ness in mineral OF the country he has
| visited. The party made the trip leis-
ureIy on horseback and with buck
boards, aud inspected the mining out
look and mineral resources of the Sec
tion thoroughly.
For several mouths past the syndicate
represented by Mr.. Newbery has had a
force of men at work on eight claims at
U. s. Park Camp. The ores carry
gold and copper. Much development has
been done during the past season on
these claims, and more shipments will
commence at an early date. MI. New
berry believes that the section he has
just inspected is nj Of the richest ir

appliances for mining and reducing thu
