SHABBILY TREATED. HE SAYS.
A CONTROVERSY BETWEEN MUNICIPAL
ART AND MUNICIPAL CIVIL SER
VICE COMMISSIONS.

The Municipal Art Commission yesterday
afternoon held quiet indignation meeting in
Mayor Lows office over a controversy between
themselves and the Municipal Civil Service
Commission. The relations between the two
bodies are somewhat strained. and the trans
actions of the last weeks have been both
exasperatng and funny. John De Witt Warner
president of the commission. occupied the chair
and outlined his associates. Messrs. Dieman,
Marshall. Coombs, Healy and others. how he
had struck snag in trying secure from the
Civil Service Commission the appointment Of
assistant secretary. who will be the prac-
teal working head of the commiss sion after it IS
fully organized. The business Of the meetIns
yesterday afternoon carried on in low
tones and it until las night when
Tribune reporter sa one OF the commissioners
at mis- home that any interesting information
obtained.
We feel" said The Tribune's informant. that
We have been very shabbily treated by the local
Civil Service Commission. We asked for per
mission to make Il provisional appointment of
an assistant secretary, and obtained it. Then
prepared send in to the Civil Service peo-
pie the name of DR.. Milo r. Maltbie. thoroughly
we'll known in art circles. but suddenly we were
informed by the Civil Service Commission that
couldn't make any provisional appointment,
but that a competitive eXaminatiO would be
held. Furthermore. the Civil Service Commits
sion d list of men who had taken an ex-
amina ton for assistant secretary of the Park
Department Very likely some of these men
know about much about art as the ordinary
clerk. This last move by the Civil Service Com
mission has somewhat disgusted us. and we are
wondering what they VIII do next. Inc Au-
nicipai Art Commission certainly Will not &C
cept man for assistant secretary unless he can
be of practical service TO the commission MI
Healy would prefer TO do the work himself
rather than have bungler under him, for whom
he would have to be responsible

DALE GETS THIRTY DAYS LEAVE.
TT IS NOT THOUGHT THAT He WILL EVER d
ANY MORE WORK IN THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.

Denutv Chief James Dale. for many years in
charge Of the hremen OF Brooklyn. and since con-
solidaton of Queens also, who several days ago
handed in his application for retirement rather than
face another physical examination yesterday re-
ce,ved leave Of absence for thirty days. 1t IS not
likely that he will ever do another days duty In
the department as Il IS understood that he will
be retired on May l.
Deputy Chief James Fl. Murray was destsnatec
70 take Dae's place temporarily He is candidate
Tor the position but Deputy Chief Samuel Duff has
some powerful backing and petition in his favor
Battalion Chief Frederick j. Snow. formerly In
charge of Long Island City. has been placed IN
charge of the Eastern District to take the place
OF Deputy Chief John H. Perry, who recently ap-
piled Tor retirement.
The general impression seems to be that the order
OF Fire Commissioner Sturgts directing that all the
men in the Brooklyn department submit physi-
cal examination means that there will be great
wedding out among the older the force
There are a number of white haired who are
foremen and assistant foremen.

MILITARY DISPLAY.
An Amusing Bit of Routine In n New
York Hotel.


There is no better place to mark the
increasing love of military display and
maneuvers than the lobby of a large
hotel The colored help in particular
are great soldiers. In one of the Broad.
way hotels uptown the colored hall
men are changed at noon. Things were
quiet in the lobby at that hotel today.
for the clerks and bookkeepers were
deep in their books, and the loungers
were all sitting peacefully on the So
fas when the steady tramp, tramp of
what sounded like a regiment Of infan.
try broke the stiffness.
The regiment consisted Of six col
ored hallmen in blue and brass. with
an especially respondent mulatto in
more gorgeous uniform walking at the
head of the procession, says the New
York correspondent of the Pittsburg
Gazette. He lined his six men in front
of bench before the desk, looked
them over sharply to see that they
were "eyes front" and hissed "Atten-
ton" Then as he clapped his hands
once the six men hinged their legs 81
multaneOusly and dropped into their
seats like a row of wooden soldiers.
The mulatto wiped his brow with q
highly perfumed handkerchief. glanced
at the head clerk for approval and as
the first man responded with a jerk to
the cry Of ''Frontv' went to the main
doorway to look at the sunlight Of
Broadway with the air of successful
major general. The whole perform
anee was excruciatingly funny, but |
am sure that mulatto would have COM
mitted assault and battery on any one
who dared to laugh.

II hide During the MOIt-

Is curing the months of August
anu September that the mvstarv of
.ne WOodcock's life begins This is
'ne noting season, when the bird
chahges its plumage before heginnino

leaves the swamps. Where does If
soE" 1hat Is question which has nev-
er yet received satisfactory answer
alInough each sportsman and natural.
Isl mas MS own opinion, and MANY fine
spun theories have been advanced
some say that the birds move toward
Tue north some that they seek the
mountain tops, coming into the swamps
10 Ieed only after nightfall; some that
tney seek the cornfields. and there
nave been many other such theories.
PROBABLY the truth lies in a mean of
al these statements. l think it prob-
aDIe That the birds know the loss of
their feathers renders them TO a Ger.
tam extent helpless and more exposed
TO the attacks of their natural enemies
ana they therefore leave the more omen
sWamps and hide in the densest and
most tangled thickets. 1t is certain
that they scatter, for at this season
single birds are found in the most IN
usual and unexpected places.
Years ago when shooting in Dutch
ess county, N. Y, knew one or two
swamps. which we called molting
sWamps, where in August we were
sure to find limited number of birds.
These swamps We're overgrown with
rank marsh grass and were full of
patches of wild rose and sweetbrier.
II we killed the birds which we found
there, we were sure in a week or ten
days to find their places filed by about
the same number.-Outing.

The Wax Insect.

Trees afford the birthplace and era
die of the wax insect, scientifically
called Cossus pela. In the early spring
the bark of the bOughs and twigs be-
comes covered with brown pea shaped
scales, which can be easily detached
and which, when opened, reveal the
fiowery looking mass of minute ami
mails, whose movements can Just be
detected by the naked eye In May
and June, however, the scales are
found to contain a swarm of brown
creatures with six legs and two an
tenn@ each. Some of the scales also
contain the white bag or cocoon of a
small black beetle, which, if left undis-
turbed, burrows into and consumes
the scales. The Chinese say that this
beetle eats the little wax insects, and it
appears certainly the case that where
the parasite is most abundant the
scales fetch lower price in the mar
ket.-Chambers' Journal.
