HER UP TO DATE ALBUM.

The Chicago girl that knows her
buslness-and where is there one
who dOpsn'il-has an album or
card case devoted exclusively TO a
collection of pictures of the Que
person whom she thinks more OF
than anybody else in the World
namely, herself. There are several
laws regulating the collection Of q
personal gallery of this kind. 10
the first place, no two pictures shall
be alike; what Is equally impol-
tant, no two shall be taken in the
same town. From glimpse al
this second condition, it Is obvious
tlat tie Young woman who has
popular collection OF her own ph =
tographs must b0 something of d
traveller.
la order to give added interest
to this pursuit of herself in minIh
ture, each photograph is stamped
iu violet ink, with the uame OF the
town where taken, the name OF The
artist and The date of the sitting.
There are also marquis for record
ing any other incidents connected
with the occasion that may be con
sidered worthy of note.
Ia this way the business of Pho
;ograph collecting is kept on a
systematic, methodIcaI BASH, and
tie book OF photographs becomes
an abridged biographical history
of travels in an indefinite number
of chapters. 1t is evident that the
more pictures it contains the more
comprehensive will be the text,
hence the ambition of every young
xoman possessed with the craze 10
become IA globe trotter.
There are few standard towns
that are absolutely necessary to
he reputation of any album, sucn
as c Clicago, New York, Niagara
aud the prominent intermediate
points. Beyond these, the more
distant aud romantic the places
the greater the interest attached TO
these pictorial histories OF the
world as seen through a maiden's
eyes.-Chlcago es-Herald.

4 FIRST EXPERIENCE.

Evelyn Carpenter was a girl OF
decided opinions. She was also
possessed OF a will OF her own, and
very determined way of entOrc
ing it. A rather tall, handsome
girl, With dark, penslve ewes aud
smooth, thoughtful brow, in rat er
cOmlcal contrast with the prOad
bearing aud Independent ap9ear-
aDce of their owner. She wendrd
her way homeward with the quick,
irregular step of one who cha'es
inward,y at the world, and knows
none on whom to lay the blame.
She sought a mission. a new spherr
Of action for the bene1t OF her te!-
low creatures.
Suddenly, before she hat sui
6ciently awakened from ber reverle
10 notice whence it came, a fDOd OF
sweet song seemed to sOOtue her
ruflleI feelings. A lark, imprls-
med in a narrow cage, poured
forth to the needless world ;tsidr
Its soul of melody through hard
bars of wire.
The sense of relief whic b ha'
stolen over the glrl gave place 10
one of ar ger, com bned with some
odd satisfaction. Here at last was
an opportunity to 10 good, even II
it were but obtaining the freed ON

LAST CENSUS A WARNING
UTTER UNTRUSTWORTHIN THE
FAULT OF THE sPOILS SYSTEM.
Appointments Should Be Made From the
Lists of the Civil Service -Suf-
ficient Eligibles.

Washington. Jan. 14-Representa-
tives of the Civil Service league ap-
peared before the house census COM
mittee to-day and urged against any
bill which contemplated having the ap-
pointments made outside of the civil
service. F. L. Siddons made the
first address. He insisted that the civil
service commission would have all the
eligibles sufficient to make all the ap-
pointments wanted in Washington. He
said that the supervisors should be Sc
lected by competitive examination un-
der the direction of the civil service
commission. He did not think it would
be practicable to have the enumarators
so selected, for supervisors under the
protection of civil service would select
the enumeratOrs without reference to
political considerations and solely with
view to their ability The clerks in
Washington should also be under the
civil service.
William Reynolds of Baltimore, who
followed. said that the appointments
unless placed under civil service, would
practically be made by senators and
representatives and supervisors so Sc
lected would make appointments of nu-
merators under the direction of the
senators and representatives. He did
not think it would be of any advant-
age to have appointments made from
both parties under a bipartisan sys-
tenn, as there would still be politics
brought in, to the detriment of the SER
vice.
Scarcely any one has a good word
for the last census he said. More
complaints We're made of the last CEN
sus than of any previous census. The
general complaint was that men en-
ployed were not efficient"
Mr.. Heatwole asked if the complaints
could not be traced to poor pay and
Mr.. Reynolds said he thought not, be-
cause there were few complaints of
previous censuses, and he supposed
there was not much difference in the
pay of the last and other censuses

lloatlns like chip. careened over un-
der the pressure of the heavy gale,
shlpplng great quantities of water, fill
ing completely the hold and forcastle,
causing her to capsize and sink-all in
a very few minutes. The situation was
further aggravated by the fact that
the tides were just setting in at the
time the ship is supposed to have gone
down. This, in all probability, forced
the stern of the vessel around and ex-
posed the broadside to the gales fury.
Late this afternoon the Inflated ves-
sci was located. She lies on the bottom
of the sound on her broadside, under
% fathoms of water, close by the spot
where she had been anchored. Bartlett
d Steed, agents for the owners, have
cabled for instructions, but do not eX-
pect a reply before Monday, although
they say the vessel will in all probabil-
ity be raised and the bodies of the dead
sailors recovered. When the Adalena
entered this port she was manned by a
crew of nearly 30 men. Some deserted
and others were discharged. until only
IL were left. The only list of victims OBJ
talnable is that given by Percy 3. Buck,
an apprentice. who was injured two
days prior to the disaster and taken to
one of the hospitals. 1t is supposed the
ship was insured by an insurance
agency for $1,000 No bodies have as
yet been recovered, although every eff
fort is being made in that direction.

4 Mission for Schurman,

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE president has
under consideration the name of Presi-
dent Schurman of Cornell university in
connection with a most important mission
The exact nature of the latter is not vet
disclosed, but it is supposed that, as the
president has it in mind to send a special
commission to the Philippines to recon-
mend a plan for the treatment and dispo-
sition of the islands. something on the
order of the Hawaiian commission, Pres
ldent Schurman may be designated as a
member of such a body. Il is also sug-
gested that he may be sent to Spain either
as minister or on special errand
