TAMMANYs NUMEROUS "LABORERs I"

Tricks OF the Tammany heads of departments OF
the city government TO evade the requirements OF
the Civil Service rules in the appointment Of po-
Htical workers salaried places being ciscov-
cred by the Civil Service Reform Association from
time to time. The most common trick is 10 appoint
a 'laborer without competitive examina-
ton and then detail him TO a clerical place with
higher pay and easier duties. Another way of get
ting political worker on the city pay roll without
examination is 10 appoint him to alleged con
ddential" place. and the departments overrun
with confidential messengers clerks, secretaries
and ytenographers, who draw good salaries but
OF no use to the city: The Civil Services Reform
Association probably will issue a report soon call
ing attention 10 many cases in which the Civil Ser
vice rules have been svaded.

cult Court of the First Circuit of the

ton was issued out OF and under the

served on the plaintiff, restraining the
plaintiff from proceeding with the
above entitled action at law until the
further order of said court, 1T having
been made to appear from the verified
bill of complaint filed therein. among
other things, that there is an equitable
defense to this action which could not
be set forth or awaited of in a court
of law. and that at the same time there
was issued out of and under the seal of
said court in equity and served on this
plaintiff a writ of subpoena compelling
plaintiff in this action at law TO appear
in said court of equity and answer in
said suit which involves the same
identical issues or causes of action as
in the petition in this suit mentioned.
And this the defendant is ready TO
verify, wherefore he prays judgment

answer plaintiffs petition"

FRIED eggs ON SIDE
WALK IN WASHINGTON.
Thoroughly Cooked on Both Sides
in Less than Ten Minutes
Hot Wave Broken.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-Dr. A ].
Schafhirt, proprietor of drug store at
North Capital and H streets in this
city, fried an egg on the asphalt pave
ment in front of his pharmacy yester-
day shortly before noon. The egg was
done to turning point in seven and a
half minutes after it was broken by
DR.. Schafhirt- II was then turned over
as cook fiops pancake and was thor
oughly cooked within ten minutes.
DR.. Schafhirt had made the assertion
that, judging from the heat registered
by thermometers standing in the sun.
it was hot enough to cook an egg on
the pavement Several friends who
happened TO be in his store chaffed
the doctor for making such sugges-
ton, and finally he said he would
prove to doubters that he knew what
he was talking about
The thermometer outside his store
under the suns rays at that moment
registered 12a degrees The doctor
figured that the radiation OF heat from
the concrete. which fairly sizxled under
old Soils attention. meant that the de-
gree Of heat ON the pavement itself was
near 10 $50 degrees.
He held his watch while the hot as
phalt underneath the egg and the rays
OF the sun over It's surface gradually
completed the frying process
The thermometer that stood our in

Sanctioned in stall a sister to the cows
Who Ioosened and made shrili the angled jaw,
Who lowered this narrow chest for blowing VI

Is this the thing you made q bride and brought
To have dominion over hearth and home.
To scour the stairs and search the bin for -four
To bear the burden of maternity

And pillared a bright lAad on smiling homess
Down all the stretch OF street to the last house
There is no shape more angular than hers,
More tongaed with gabble OF her neighbor's

More filed with nerve-ache and rheumatic

More fraught with menace of the frying pan.

How answer her shrill question in that hour,
When whirlwinds of such women shake the

With obweb OF hypocrisy and greed,
