How changed will be the observance
this year from that of last year. At
that time the presence of the hero OF
Manila Bay in the city attracted
thousands upon thousands of visitors
from out of town. People came a hun
dred miles for just one glimpse
of Admiral Dewey, only in most in
stances to be disappointed. 1t was, in
fact, a day of disappointments. Rare
ly had the Oldest Inhabitants of me
city seen more Indictment weather. The
night before, when the special bear
ing the admiral arrived, rain began to
fall. The second disappointment was
that Mrs. Dewey vas detained in Wash
ington on account of illness. The ad-
miral left his car and entered a car
riage under escort. He was taken to
the Mcclure, where arrangements had
been made for his accommodation. A
reception had also been arranged. Upon
arrival he declined to leave the car
riage, but drove back to his car and
passed the night there. accounting
for his non-appearance by claiming
fatigue. This was the first disappoint-
ment.
With the coming of daylight on the
morning of the 22nd, the rain changed
to sleet and wet snow, which fell inces-
sanity. The parade, scheduled for l
o'clock in the afternoon, was at M
time called off. Whole divisions re-
fused to turn out in such weather.
Finally the parade moved, with the adj
miral in a closed carriage, so that very
few of the spectators, who lined the
sidewalks along the long line of march,
got a glimpse even Of his uniform.
At the Carroll Club the only part OF
the days programme was carried out
intact. Here people who were lucky
enough to have grand and press stand
tickets. had time and enough to feast

A PRACTICAL EXAMINATION.

The experience of Ex-Governor Merriam.
director of the census. i'm the selection of
clerks and other employees for the Census
Bureau. given in the Saturday Evening
Post. contains some valuable suggestions
relative to the selection of such public
servants. At the time an effort was made
to have the examination of applicants for
the thousands Of positions put under the
Civil-service Commission. Congress refused.
but made them subject TO such an examina-
ton as the director might prescribe. AT the
outset the clerks were apportioned among
the different States on the basis of popula-
ton. a further plan was adopted Of allow
ing each senator and representative TO sug-
gest a certain number OF applicants for ex-
aminatiOn-a custom which has prevailed
In the selection of candidates for the mill
tary and naval academies for years. Both
parties presented the names of applicants.
The examinations commenced as soon as
the bureau was organized. boards of ex-
aminers going TO different parts Of the
country to hold examinations. The whole
number of persons examined was 4. $50. from
which an eligible list of 500 was secured
that is, that number obtained an average
OF 20 per cent. or over IN the examinations
The fact that 2.So6. or 4.29 per cent. of the
whole number examined. failed is evidence
that the examination was of 4 searching
character as far as it went, which was far
enough to discover that the applicants
were qualified for the work Of the bureau.
The applicants were examined for the work
they were to take UP IL found to be quail
fled. They were examined in arithmetic.
English and history. The English included
original letter writing. letter writing from
dictation. written tabulating work and sim
pie copying. From these four divisions PEN
mauship and spelling were rated. There
to the history. geography and government
of The United States and as 10 current
political. social and literary affairs as pub
lished in the daily prints. the director hold
ing the opinion that the person who has no
care or concern as to the relation existing
between him and his country is not tit
to DC on its pay roll-that the young man
who had not some knowledge OF the gov
eminent under which he lived and a fair
knowledge Of its achievements and prin-
cipal actors was not entitled TO considera-
ton.
IL Is possible that from this experience
OF the director of the census some valuable
hints may be obtained. For instance. the

ST.. LOUIS is CHOSEN
For Headquarters of the Unified So
ciaIist Party.

Cfltsst Tty
The ranks of the Socialists were some
what thinned out yesterday when the con-
vention was called to order. as many of
the delegates had left the city Wednesday
evening. Phillip Brown. of Chicago, was
elected chairman for the day, and the
tempestuous scenes during the session ruff
fled his patience as badly as the stormy
times aggravated the chairmen on the
other three days of the convention.
a few of the delegates who had insisted
on making speeches and monopoiizing the
time Of the convention since it convened
became obnoxious yesterday during the de-
batting on the constitution and many harsh
words were spoken. 1t all came about
through the selection of the city for the
national headquarters. Chicago, Cleveland,
ST. Louis and indianapolis were mentioned,
ard one delegate from Iowa nominated
Davenport as a suitable city. but DaVen-
port was lost in the shuttle before the vote
was taken. Max Hays moved that Cleveland
be withdrawn in favor OF 81. LOUIS, dud
as Indianapolis was not seriously consid-
cred. because there is no party organization
10 speak of in this city, Chicago and St.
Louis We're left, the latter city finally be-
ms selected.
The Chicago advocates made strong argu-
ments in favor Of that city as q suitable
place for national headquarters, While the
supporters OF st. Louis claimed tlat chi
cage was not practicable because or the
strife in the ranks OF the party IN that city.
This brought a denial from the Chicago
faction. the comrades claiming there never
was any split or misunderstanding IN the
party until they disagreed after the New
York meeting. The vote on the selection Of
headquarters witnessed a split in both. fac
lions, as many Chicago men voted IL favor
of st. Louis. while several Springfield adj
vocates voted for Chicago. Comrade lyle
sias. of Porto Rico, cast his 4S votes for
S.. Louis. which gave that city a ma
lOrity of i21 over Chicago.
The committee on resolutions submitted a
supplementary report in the morning favor
ing trades unions and advising Socialists
10 join them as economic agencies and this
was adopted. A resolution was also adopted

Police Suppressed News of burglary
at Mrs. kiefer's Home.

The fact came to light yesterday that the
local detective department has successfully
kept from publication the details of the
robbery of Mrs. Mary l.. Kiefer's home, 97
North Delaware street. which occurred two
weeks ago. Detective Lancaster was found
at headquarters last night and asked about
the case.
Il did hear something Of the robbery at
the Kiefer house." he admitted. but Louis
a. and Charles j. Kiefer requested that
nothing be given out about it because their
aged mother is away on a visit, and they
did not desire that she be worried by read
ing an account of the affair In the news
papers,"
Mr.. Lancaster was asked if it was true
that $500 worth of gold nuggets was taken
by the thieves. My recollection is that
the amount was only $50 he said. The
nuggets OF gold taken were specimens that
were brought back from California by
Louis Z. Kiefer. several years prior to his
death.

The fact that Special Deputy Naval ON
Ger Gourley. of New York, lived in Spring
field. ILL.,. when "a youth, close to Abraham
Lincoln's home, probably led to his receiv-
ing e letter a few days ago from a man
who offered TO sell him for $40 an old pistol
which he said had been presented to him
by Mr.. Lincoln. In declining the offer Mr..
Gourley wrote:
1t is impossible for me to associate a
gun or "A pistol with Abraham Lincoln. l
believe he could nave hit a barn door
ten feet away with either a revolver or a
gun. And L think he would rather have
let a man shoot him than have shot a man
in order to protect himself.
MIR. Lincoln's early familiarity with the
rifle and shotgun must have made him a
much better marksman than the above
would indicate. but it is not likely he ever
owned a pistol.
