organized in her honor. Perform

This was followed by luncheon for

up "tout Paris" in fact-at the
conclusion of which poems in her
honor were read by Francois Cop

fete came to an end with the corona

to grant the coveted decoration.
But for once the ministry were cha

Merrlam's Clever Ruse.

Census Director Merriam has re-
Gently employed the most successful
scheme for ascertaining who are
really the good clerks in any branch
OF the goernment service. The
duty devolved upon him Of getting
rid Of some Of his superAuous
clerks. The usual way for ascer-
tanning the ones TO be dismissed is
to ask the plain question. But Mer-
riam did it the other way. lie asked
which of the clerks each division
chief wished to keep Each chief,
with an eye single to having his
work well done, made out a straight
list. No droners we're included in
it. The chiefs thought they would
be allowed to retain these clerks.
Instead of that the director ordered
the transfer Of these good CLERKS to
divisions in which there are to be
no dismissals at present. Now the
chiefs who were caught by the trick
are wondering how they are to fin

the inferior clerks that are left

Heavy Loss to MIR. W. J. Orr.

Last Wednesday afternoon about
o'clock tho dwelling of Mr.. w. j. Orr,
near Wolf Stake church, was totally do
stroyed by fire, and the loss amounts to
about 5000, with no insurance. Tho ori-
gin of the fire is not known positively.
The family left tho house early in the
morning, covering small fire in an open
fire place and sprinkling water over tho
ashes. A cat was found burned to death
near the ruins, and it is supposed that
tho animal was in tho house, scratched
in tho ashes, caught fire and ran to con-
siderable pile of loose cotton in an ad-
joining shed room, thus starting n fro
that did it's work quickly. Nothing at
all was saved from tho housn, and a
small amount of currency was burned
also. This is a heavy loss for Mr.. Orr,
who has large family dependent upon
him, and whose support was mado by
hard toll on his farm. Some few friends
have endcayored to assist him and his
financially, but the amounts so far have
not aggregated moro than fow dollars.
If there are those who desire to con
tribute to tho relief of tho family wc will
gladly receive tho amounts at this Office
and turn tho same over to Mr. Orr.

remarks were clear and forceful. At

lips Werner lectured on tho conditions
of Africa and its people. His talk was
attentivoly heard and was we'll delivered.
There was much to interest and instruct

the close of the service a collection for
missions was raised, amounting to about
thirty dollars.
