sees them from every corner Wash
ington is only about five times as big
as Savannah and hotter than-well
hotter than Savannah.
This city is ripe for such enter
prises; overripe, one might say, and
the fruit is ready to drop into some
ones lap. The porridge is not too hot
like the big bears, nor too cold like
the middling-size bears. 1t is Just
right, like the little bears. and ready
to be eaten up. Let us take a look
at some of the objections urged Some
say Savannah is too hot. That does
not enter into the question. An apart
ment is as cool as a house. An apart
ment that faces right and is located
right is cool, and one that is located
wrong is hot, and so is a badly located
house.
"Others say that the prices are too
high, and people are not going to pay
the same price for fiat that they will
for house But people do pay such
prices for apartments elsewhere. In
Washington one sees elegant ten-room
houses go begging, where little apart
ments of fouI or five rooms at the
same price are snapped up. AS full
as Washington is of big apartment
houses now. some of the shrewdest
investors in the city are still putting
up new ones. Many people these days
simply prefer apartments, and
| until that demand is satisfied
a small apartment will out-rent
a good sized house in the same local
itY.
Preferred to Houses.
Another objection one hears is that
people here like plenty of room. Peo-
pie who go out to the suburbs of
Washington and Chicago, where there
are blocks and blocks of untouched
ground, must go out to get away from
the crowd also; yet in such places as
Columbia Heights, Washington and the
Midway Plaisance, Chicago, the apart
ments seem to be getting the best of
the houses in the popular estimation
1 know at least two men In Washing
ton who have multiplied their incomes
by ten by taking advantage of the
popular fancy for flats. l am sure
there are many others who have done
the Same thing.
II have seen companies double and
quadruple large investments in the
line by simply duplicating their first
big building over twice and thrice side
by side in each case. 1t is not pre-
sumable that they did this unless the
profits were good on their first deal.
Where the few small flats already
bullt In Savannah have proved so pop
ular, it is safe to say that larger build
1ngs of the same kind properly de-
signed and judiciously located will
most certainly pay. If such buildings
are once tried and do not multiply
here. it will be because there is no
more brick and mortar in this part
of the country"

eminent there are, in round numbers,
235, 900 places, of which number about
121. 900 are classified. OF the ll4,OOO re-
naming unclassified 72,49S are those
of fourth-class postmasters. The an
nual expenditure for salaries for the
entire executive service is stated to
be about $130, 600, 900, and of this, $780,
900, 900, or nearly two-thirds, goes to
salaries for positions subject to the
civil service rules.
Most of the eligibles from the diff
ferent teacher examinations for the
IndiaS service are usually appointed
at entrance salaries of from 5000 TO
5000 per annum. Persons who pass the
examinations for bookbinder, press
man, electrotype finisher, electrotype
molder, and stereotyper, for the gov
eminent printing office, have very good
opportunities for appointment.
Chances for Women.
The opportunities for the appoint
ment of women in the classified service
as a whole are not fattering. The
chief examiner says:
at present but few women are or
dinarily appointed 10 the general de-
partmental and government printing
services, except in the Indian service,
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
and the position Of skilled labOrer In
the government printing Office"
The scope and character Of the ex-

CIVIL SERVICE WORKINGS.
Report of the Commission Shows
Interesting Results.

AhteFestInE Results.
Washington, Aug. 30.-Among the
| government publications that will soon
be ready for public distribution is the
eighteenth report of the Civil Service
Commission, covering the period from
July l, 1900. to June 80, 1901.
The report opens with the statem.kt
that 47,O75 persons were examined dur
ing the year, of whom q, ops were ex-
amlned for the departmental service.
THIS service does not include merely
the departments at Washington, but
all the federal classified services OUT
side of Washington, with the excep-
ton OF the postal, customs, internal
revenue and government printing sery-
ices. Thus, the railway mail and In
dian services are divisions of the de-
partmental service. Nearly q, 900 per-
sons were examined for the postoffice
service, or little over a thousand less
than the number examined for the de-
partmental service. About So per cent
or 33,739, of those taking examinations
passed, and 1859 failed. Compared
with the year previous, this represent
ed an increase of Zip in the number
OF persons examined, a decrease of l.
2SS in the number who passed, and
an increase of 3,410 in the number
who failed.
The total number of persons receiv-
ing appointment excluding the Phil
ippine service and the municipal SER
vice of the District of Columbia, Meth
er of which is subject to the provisions
of the civil service act. was 1870. Two
thirds of the appointments in the de-
partmental service proper and nearly
one-half of the appointments in the
Indian service were of persons who
had passed non-educational examina-f
lions

TO SHOOT CLAY PIGEONS.
An Atlanta Team Challenges Any
Five Men I'm the State.

Five Men in the State
For f1fty-bird contest, target shoot,
five Atlanta men have challenged any
five-man team in the state. The chal-
lengers only specify that the contest
take place in Atlanta. The challenge is
as follows:
1--WE the undersigned Atlanta men,
hereby issue a challenge to any five
man team, flying targets, in the state
of Georgia, to be shot in Atlanta, at
any time, and on any grounds men,
toned by the acceptors of this chal-
lenge.
Charles Harris, DR.. Vincent, Oscar
Conway, Hollie Thompson. Jack
Jones'"
Charles Harris, one of the shooters,
is one of the best shots in the state
He recently won the tournament in
Americas, Ca, leading the three days
shoot by fourteen targets. At Troy
Ala, he won by five targets over all
competitors, shooting at the 20-yard
line
Hollie Thompson. another member
of the team, is a Savannah boy and is
known locally as one of the best men
that has shot over a Savannah trap
in recent years.
AS there are any number of excel
lent trap shooters in this city it is
hardly likely that the challenge will
long go unanswered. The Savannah
ians can use a shotgun with the same
facility they use a rifle, a sufficient
guarantee that if the challenge is ac-
cepted the Atlantians will have
warm match.

Two Running Events and One Har-

An excellent card of races has been
prepared for the State Fair track to-

the one in which most interest is CEN
tered, is mile dash, in which the en-
tries are Kingful, E. A. Massart;

day or tomorrow morning.
The harness race has as entries not
only the fastest trotters in the city,
but horses that are so well matched
that the race is sure to prove close
and exciting. These are: Pauline H.,
