Convention Recently Signed by Central
American Republics

The Costa Rican legation in this city has
received copy of the treaty for the preser-
walton of peace among the Central Ameri-
can states, lately signed at the meeting at
COrinto, Nicaragua, of the presidents Of
Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua and Sal
vador. Guatemala has signed since. The
treaty Is made up of eighteen articles, and
establishes the principle Of arbitration for
the adjustment Of every difficulty or dis
agreement arising between the contracting
parties. each agreeing to submit such ques-
tions to a court of Central American arbi-
ters, provision for which is made.
The contracting republics establish and
recognize the right in any Of them to offer
their good offices to the governments in dis
cord, and these being exhausted without
satisfactory results, the governments ex-
erting them shall announce that the arbi-
tration of the question must begin. The
court is to be convened and a decision rem
dered within thirty-five days following this
announcement to the president of the court
OF arbitration. Difficulties arising through
boundary disagreements may be submitted
by the parties interested to a foreign arb-
ter Of American nationality. The states in
conflict are to refrain from hostile acts,
warlike preparations or mobilization Of
forces in order that the settlement of the
difficulties by the methods established in
the convention may not be impeded. The
contracting republics bind themselves to
cause the withdrawal from the frontiers of
exiles concerning whom complaint shall
be made by the interested government.

PRACTICAL CIVIL SERVICE.
Recent Ruling as to Tenure of Fourth
Glass Postmasters.

''The recent ruling of the Postmaster
General that the tenure Of a fourth-class
postmaster shall be based upon efficiency,
and modifying the previous rule as to a
tenure Of four years, calls to mind a line
or two regarding this class Of postmasters
which is Of general interest" said gentle
man familiar with postal affairs.
This new rule is almost practical civil
service for fourth-class .postmasters, and
1t Is about as near to actual civil service
as 1t is possible to get without legislative
enactment or executive order, or special
provision Of some sort. There is no ques-
by this and succeeding administrations will
tend to improve the postal service i'm
mensely. When it becomes well known
throughout the country, and the people Of
the rural districts understand 1t better, it
will not be found to work against the
chances Of member Of Congress to return
to Washington, as is believed by some at
the Capitol and elsewhere.
1T should not be lost sight Of that the
firm adherence to the sO-called four years
tenure was one Of the features Of the ad-
ministration Of Postmaster General Bissell,
a democrat. and the spoilsmen wing of his
party took 1t very hard that he would not
dismiss every republican postmaster Of the
fourth class at once upon application.
$50 popular, however, was this four
year tenure found to be that 1t has been
strictly maintained, except In removals Tor
cause, by each succeeding Postmaster Cen
eral. and the recent order Of Postmaster
General Payne, a republican, is an extern
sion Of the same line Of thought as ap-
piled to postmasters of the fourth class.
1.-The department appoints between 1000
and 1900 fourth-class postmasters, as an
average, yearly. the vacancies occurring
from all causes from removal because Of
fault to death and resignation. There was
an increase Of 1,156 Of these little post Of
fees last year, while $3.50 new ones were
established AS 3,024 offices were discon-
tinued. the wiping out Of offices would ap-
pear to the uninitiated to about offset the
new ones established, but an office may be
discontinued and re-established several
times, as is often the case. before 1t be-
comes permanently established and fixed.
There were 257 fourth-class post offices ad-
vanced to the presidential class, and there
are about $4,000 of these offices, Of which
over 80 600 are money order offices.
"A fourth-class Office is one where the
receipts are less than 81 800 per annum. or
where the compensation Of the postmaster
does not amount to $3.50 per quarter for
four consecutive quarters. fourth-class
postmaster does not receive salary, but
is paid according to the cancellations at his
Office"

SwELLS ARE TAKING SNUFF.
Some Of the New Jeweled Boxes Cost
as High as 5000.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from New York yesterday says: Snufr Is
the latest fad Of the young swells Of New
York: not the snuff habit of the Tennessee
mountaineer, who dips" 1t with
"chawed" brush, but the dainty customs
of princes and kings of the eighteenth CEN
tury.
The gilded youth Of the English metrop-
oils have, according to the latest cables.
discarded the fragrant cigar, the sweet
briar pipe and cigarette for the bejeweied
snuffbox Of their grandfathers.
Already New York is feeling the effect
of the fad. And snuffboxes Of all shapes
and sizes and values are on sale In the
shops Not the ancient heirloom interest
ing to collectors, but modern contrivances
of gold and silver, the latest device for the
titilla ton of the masculine nose beng
shaped to fit the hip pocket.

though, prefer plain boxes of solid gold as
a rule. When they buy fancy ones it is
usually for presentation to older men. Wo-
men buy them, too. but l should say not
for their own use. Though really We can't
tell what they are going to do with them. -
So 1t is not myth. Society-'high So
ciety, real society''-is taking snuff!
Visions of the fascinating Harry Lehr,
the graceful Elisha Dyer. Craig Wads-
worth and all the lesser lights whose orbits
intersect taking snuff Is enough to dazzle
the mind. o. H. P. Belmont and Frank
Marsh are said to be among the well-known
society men who have adopted the snuff
habit.
At the Offices Of the American Snuff Com
pany, III 9Th avenue. Otis Smith, secretary
for the company, said:
There Is undoubtedly a largely increas-
ing demand for snuff of a high quality

Southern Indiana, known as the Blue

as Egypt. have long been democratic, and
for very simple reason. In the early
days of western immigration there were
two streams from the east to beyond the
Alleghanies, and as travel was by coach
and wagon the newcomers formed small
colonies. Southern Indiana was largely
populated by the descendants of Virginaans
and southern Illinois by Kentuckians.
