CIVIL SERVICE.
Utterly Ignored by Maryland
Officials.

And they are Backed by Secretary
Gage-The Whole Civil Service Re-
form System will soon be Thing OF
the Past tit was only Intended for
Use on the Stump anyway.
BALTIMORE, Md. Aug. Acting
under the instructions of the Score
tary sof the Treasury, Collector VIM.
+. Stone, of this city, proposes to ig
more the order of the National Civil
Service Commission, which has di-
rected the special deputy collector
of customs and the cashier of Gus
toms to submit to a non competitive
examination These officials have
now been in the service nearly four
teen months, being appointed imme
diatelv after Collector Stone quail
fed
Last Thursday they received or.
ders from the secretary of the com
mission to undergo an examination
within five days The matter was
submitted to the collector, who
promptly communicated with Secre
tary Gage and was advised to call
at the department. The conferences
took place at Washington. When
the collector had presented his case
and submitted his protest the Secre-
tary said the entire proceeding was
new to him. 1t was the first he had
heard Of any such order. The col
lector then said he would not permit
the examination unless the Secretary
demanded it, as the fitness of the
men had already been tested and
they were not in the classified ser
vice
Mr.. Gage said he agreed with Mr..
Stone and Endorsed his position. He
furthermore advised that the officials
refuse to take the examination.
Backed by the Secretary the collect
or has determined to ignore the or
der. He instructed the officials to
notify the civil service board that
they would not take the examina-
ton, and this letter was sent out
Yesterday. II the commissioners reg
lister kick they will be referred to
the Secretary of the Treasury. The
matter has attracted considerable at
tention here, as it may result in
lively interchange between the Sec
rotary aud the commission.

Another Greene County Surprise.

Greene county is TO the front again
with another surprise. Tim Ross u
Co. have drilled in wildcat on the
j. w. Hutchinson farm, located on
the Pennsylvania fork Of Fish creek
and one mile from Board Tree, in
Spring Hill township, and about one
halt mile from the State line The
we'll was drilled into the Big Injun
sand yesterday and the hole began
to fill up wish oil and run over. No
estimate has been placed on it's pro-
duction, but the indications all point
to a good producer. 1t is new terri
tory, and just what the Big Injun
formation is capahleo of doing in that
locality is purely problematical at
this time. The erstwhile Timothy
Ross has had very remarkable
streak OF luck in Greene county.

Mr.. CARLOW Here.

Mr.. Marion Garlow's numerous
friends are pleased to see him among
them again. As is known he went 20
Colorado some years ago and invested
heavily in various kinds of property
and it seems willsm Trinidad, Col
orado, his home. In a conversation
with him we learn that he thinks all
that glitters is not gold and we sus-
pect that if he could turn his invest
ments into money he would return to
West Virginia, and we would be
mighty glad to have him. He is
pleased to note our growth here and
says this country is far safer and more
satisfactory to make investments in
than any other with which he is IA
miliar. Mr.. Carlow will remain I'M
til the last of the month.

Been Held-Large Number of AppIi-

Matters at the University are
moving along smoothly and there is
very little of general interest to the
outside public in connection with
the institution. The most notable
thing of the summer quarter is the
failure of the lecturers who have
been scheduled TO be here to respond
to the call of time. DR.. Purinton, of
Denison University, is the only one
who has been here up to this time.
It is to be hoped that the resi- of
them will be given as the people
want to hear the men who have been
engaged.

COMEDY OF ERRORS.
Seneca Allows California to win
out Thursday.

Rotten Playing Responsible Everybody
Enjoys the Game which is One Of the
Funniest ever Seen Here Return
Same on next Thursday Batting or
der and Summary.
GSeneca had the misfortune to see a
game that had been won turned into
a defeat in the eighth inning on
Thursday afternoon at the University
Athletic Field. California was APP
parently not in the hunt and every
one had decided that the game was
won and lost when the tide turned
and by rotten errors on Seneca's part
together with succession of lucky
hits by California eight runs were
piled up winning the game by one
score.
In the first inning California had
made three runs and that had been
all that they had been able to get ex-
cept two more in the sixth. The
Senecas had made them steadily UNI
til they had piled up twelve runs.
This was thought to make the victory
a certainty and they let down little.
California got none in the seventh
and Seneca allowed them to score
eight runs ia the next inning. The
excitement became very great and
when the winning run was made the
crowd went wild.
One of the California players left
the field but the rest of them contln-
ued the game. No more runs were
made and Seneca came to the bat TO
win out. A double play came next
when two men had gotten on bases
and then another man got to second.
A long drive to center field was COB
bled up and the game was over
The crowd enjoyed it and howled
themselves black in the face. The
California boys were tickled to death
and they Unused on the way down the
river at a lively rate.
The Seneca lads will go down on
next Thursday to win the scalp back
but they will have to be loaded If they
do, as California will be loaded to the
neck to receive them.
