THE MAKEUP OF A CONSUL.
shoald he a Man Of Tact and Disere-
tion and of Good Address and
bearing.

A consul Is, in a certain sense, the
representative of his country. To the
people among whom he is stationed
and to the local authorities he is the
impersonntion of his government,
says the Forum, He should be a man
Of dignity. Of self-possession, Of good
address and bearing, OF tact and dis
cretion. who should command the re-
spect and confidence Of foreign mer-
chants and officials. and who should
be honored even by his travelling
eountrymen. These qualifications
cannot be determined by a civil serv-
ice examination. but they are mat
ters which should receive carefu. con
sideration. Hence. the president
must be allowed some discretion In
making a selection from among those
whose names are presented to him
by the board Of examiners.
When Prince Gortchakoff was at
the head Of the Russian foreign Of
fee, the candidates for the diplomat
ic service, after passing the examina-
tion, were always granted an audi
ence with his excellency. who then
made a final decision by observing
the manner in which they entered the
room, the way in which they ad-
dressed him and their general deport-
ment during the interview A con-
sui may know all about invoices and
ships, and also about seals and seal
ing wax, but If he be rude and undig-
nifed, II he lack savoir faire and

Approval.

Bishop Conaty, rector Of the Catholic
university at Washington, while ON a
visit to Brooklyn recently told Of a
priests experience in small New
England town. The clergyman was
just about 10 retire for the night when
he heard a knock at his door lie
called. "'Come I'M and black man
presented himself and said, rather
shamefacedly:
"Father, there is a girl outside. Msy
l bring her in?"
Assent having been given, he disap-
peared for a moment and returned
with white woman and informed the
scandalized priest that they wished to
be married.
He vas shown the door with prompt
ness and the girl was severely admon-
ished on the course she was pursuing.
Fifteen minutes later, says the New
fo.k Times, there came another knock
and on opening the door the priest
found himself again face TO face with
the would-be colored bridegroom.
with great Indignation the priest
said:

PHILADELPHIA's FLAG.
1t Is Beautiful Ensign Reserved for
Display on Rare and Import
ant Occasions.

The city of Philadelphia may be
behind some other American munici.
paiities in some respects, but in
one particular at least it is in adj
vance of most American cities and
that is in the beauty of its flag.
BY an ordinance passed some years
ago the city Of Philadelphia adopted
a city flag, a city ensign and a citv
pennant, all three of great Beauty
and picturesaueaess The flag, made
Of bunting or American silk, is ten
feet in length and six in width sep
arated into three payts running
vertically. the first and third OF
azure blue and the second or middle
column a golden harvest yellow.
Upon the middle column of this flag
is the aitg seal of Philadelphia.
The ensign or flag of the Philadel-
phia merchants is the same as the
official civic flag except that instead
Of the coat-of-arms upon it. there is
a crest surrounded by - five-point-
ed azure stars. inclosed in a circle.
The merchants flag is six feet in
length and four feet six inehes in
width.
The Philadelphia city pennant pre-
sents some points OF resemblance to
the Mongolian flag OF the middle
kingdom Of China. It is a triangular
piece Of yellow bunting five feet in |
length ard four in width. In the
center is a blue triangle UPON which /
are displayed the city arms and /
about them a circle Of golden stars.
The official flag Of philadelphia is
displayed only on rare occasions OF
more than local interest and Is espe.
cially useful as symbol Of the
greatness Of Philadelphia wher

SUFfOCATED in A WELL
HORRIBLE DEATH THAT OVERLOOK
EDWARD MEYERS.
He Was Working at the Central In
sane HOspitaI-In Standing
Position When Found.

Edward Meyers, a well digger employed
by Charles Krauss, was suffocated in a
we'll at the Central Hospital for the Insane
yesterday afternoon at 1870 o'clock. Alr.
Krauss had the contract for drilling three
six-inch wells to be connected with a els
tern twenty feet in diameter and six feet
deep in the rear of the womens building.
Two of the wells had been completed
without accident. In each opening five
feet in diameter and six feet deep was
made in order that connecting pipes could
be laid to the cistern
Just after dinner Meyers went in the un-
completed well to dig the tunnel through
which the pipe connection was to be made.
Without the slightest warning the wall of
the well caved in, burying him in a stand
ing position under the earth
Henry Wuf and George Bradley, who
were working with him, called to their as
sistance dozen men working for the In
dianapolis Water Company by, and
they worked heroically to rescue Meyers.
When he was uncovered he was found TO
be dead.
Meyers was married and had a child five
weeks old. He was twenty-five years old.

DR.. BROWNING'S Big BILL
EFFORT TO COLLECT 1T FROM THE
c. l.. MAGEE ESTATE.
Testimony Introduced to Show the
Late Pittsburger Intended to Give
His Doctor $1,OOO,OOO.

PITTSBURG, June 6.-The bill of DR.
Walter c. Browning, of Philadelphia, for
Sl9O,O7O for professional services in attend
the long illness which resulted in his death.
came before Judge Over. of the County
Orphans Court, to-day. The executors had
refused to pay the bill. averring that it
was exorbitant Counsel for DR.. Browning
stated before the opening of the hearing
that DR.. Browning's claims against the
Magee estate aggregated SS55O0O, but he
would not make public the items which go
to make the claims. Attorneys for the es-
tate say they have received no notice that
the claim had been increased.
c. b. McVey. president of the Pitsburg
Trust Company, was the first witness The
witness knew of DR.. Browning's remarka-
BILE success as a specialist and advised Sen
ator Magee to go to him. Mr.. McVey had
Iaid DIR. Browning $50 an hour for an ex-
animation, and $40 hour for treatment.
Senator Magee, when told of this, said ex-
pense was not to be considered.
Andrew Fulton. who had known Senator
Magee for forty years, testified that Magee
had time and again said that BrowniY-
thoroughly understood his case. and lie
was confident of the physicians ability.
Mr.. Magee told the witness that he wished
10 live and he would make the doctor inde-
pendent in a financial way.
Several other witnesses testified in the
same strain and court adjourned with j.
D. Shaw on the stand. Mr.. Shaw, in his
testimony. said Mr.. Magee had said TO him
that he intended 10 best the record of p. A.
b Widener, who had given his physician
$500 600 for curing him of a case of double
pneumonia, as he (Magee) intended to give
DR. Browning 81 900 900.
