ans Demand for Restoration.

WASHINGTON, Aug. e.-The answer Of
Secretary Root TO the petition Of Miss Re
becca ]. Taylor for a writ of mandamus
TO compel him to restore her to a clerkship
in the War Department was filed here to-
day. Miss Taylor was dismissed for pub
fishing criticisms on the Philippine policy
OF the administration. Secretary Roots
answer says one Of these published letters
was referred, by Secretary Roots direction.
to Miss Taylor for explanation or a state
ment: that Miss Taylor admitted its au-
thorship without offering any justification
or retractiOn, and that her answer, in
opinion OF the secretary of war. was in
subordinate and preJudicial TO the order
and efficiency Of the service, and Secretary
Root therefore caused her removal. Secre-
tary Root says his action was not taken
because of Miss Taylors political or re-
ligious affiliations and that all the acts of
the department in the case were done in
conformity with the civil-service regula-
tions. His answer contends that the action
Of the head OF an executive department
in respect TO the case is not subject to
review or control by a court of law and
that his action cannot be directed by man

A Learned MOtorman.
New York Evening Sun.

In Germany the supply OF university
educated men is said TO be so much in ex-
cess of the demand as TO create a somewhat
serious problem. With the thousands OF
young men which our own colleges are
turning out every year, one cannot help
wondering where in the world all 10
find employment suited alike to their taste
and training. That all do not succeed in
finding the kind Of work for which they are
ically evident. One day last week, while a
Broadway cable car was waiting at Fiftieth
street for the signal to start its down
town trip again. passenger who boarded
the car was somewhat surprised 10 see
the mOtorman sitting in one corner deeply
absorbed in a book OF Greek verse. Now
as Greek verse or even Greek prose is not
supposed to be the most appetizing kind OF
mental diet for the average motorman,
the passenger was somewhat curious and
even at the risk OF being thought impu-
dent. he made bold 10 ask few questions.
NO" said the man, in reply, Il haven't
been in this business very long, and I'm not
in love with IL exactly but 1t came to be q
question between this and starvation, so

say, and in sheer desperation 1 took this
job. 1t pays me 81 a day and keeps me

muttered, as the signal sounded and he

little book OF Greek verse I'm his hip pocket.

The Game of Bowls.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The old game of bowls-a very ancient
pastime, indeed, since Sir Walter Raleigh
speaks of having played it, and his friends
were interrupted during a game by the
news that the Spanish Armada had hove In
Sights coming into fashion again. 1t is
played on lawns or on simulated green
turf, and requires hollow rounds TO catch
the balls. and the balls themselves. Bowls
is essentially a dignified pastime, belong
ing, as 1t does, to the era of snuff and
cOurtplaster, we'll suited to portly, middle
and old age, though modern old age makes
no excuse, and gambols at ping pong, swats
at golf, biffs at tetherball, without taking
into account such details as years at all.
With bowls as the fashion, may expect
the young to adopt the slow graces of the
minuet and other accomplishments of the
period of sacque and wig, farthingale and
knee breeches, when 1.-THE quality dined at
in the afternoon and drank It's dish of tea
or negus later in a summer house till it
should be cool enough for bowls in the
evening. Those times are tremendously
picturesque to think about, but not so al
Turing when you find yourself in a house
without hot and cold modern attachments.
These are the times!

JUMPED THROUGH WINDOW.
Police Get Money, Dice and Coats,
but Most of Gamblers Escape.

Saturday night crap shooting was the
cause Of four negroes spending last night
in the police station. The police had re-
ceived information that a game was in
progress at 4O5 North Senate avenue. Ac-
cordingly Sergeant Schroeder, with Patrol
men Tomlinson, Bolen, Milan and Smith,
made their appearance at Senate and Indi-
ana avenues about II 80 o'clock. They saw
a negro standing at the first alley north of
Vermont street. AS the negro saw the
policemen approaching he ran, but was
stopped short by Sergeant Schroeder. He
sent the remainder of the policemen into
the house.
Entrance at first was rather hard to gain.
AS Bolen opened the back door a loud noise
could be heard all over the building. A
dash was made for the inside, but most of
the gamblers had gone. In leaving they
broke window saSheS and doors. Moses
Gaddey was arrested on the charge of keep
ing a gambling house, while David Simp-
son, Emmett Williams and Thomas Nc
Fadden, all colored, were arrested on the
charge of visiting. The police got some
money, dice and several coats.

ployes of the Yonkers street railway struck

service in the city was completely tied up.
The cause of the strike was due to the re-

is very popular with the men. The en-
ployes demanded his retention, and at the
same time asked for 20 cents an hour, with
a ten-hour day, instead of the present scale,
IS cents per hour and an eleven-hOur day.

PACKING HOUSE BURNED.
SchwarzchiId & SuIxberger and
Others Suffer by Fire.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 10.-Shortly after
l o'clock this morning fire was discovered
on the fifth floor of the Schwarzschild &
Sulzberger packing house, at Twelfth
street and Liberty avenue. At LAS o'clock
the building, which is six stories high, is
practically a total loss. The building was
valued at $4,000. the stock of Schwarz-
schild & Sulzberger at $4,000; stock of the
De Noon Brothers Paint and Varnish
Company occupying the fifth floor, at
$4,000, and stock of Bernard Checker,
dealer in butchers supplies occupying the
third and fourth floors. at $4,000. 1t Is be-
leved the fire was of incendtary origin,
because the De Noon Companys wholesale
and retail establishment was mysteriously
burned out week ago.
At 2:15 o'clock a. m the fire Is under con-
troll, and confined to the one building. The
flames, however, will not be subdued for
several hours, as the oil, varnish and paint
in the De Noon stock is ablaze and will
prove stubborn and hard to overcome.

DRINK DISTILLED WATER.
Sailors Are Not Exposed to Danger of
Cholera rs the Soldiers Are.
Washington Star.


The Navy Department is in no wise
alarmed over the cholera situation in the
Philippines. The men of the navy are not
exposed as their brothers of the army are
to infection of this character. The jackies
aboard ship in time of infection sub
jected TO very rigorous discipline in the
matter of sanitary regulations. They are
allowed to drink nothing but distilled
water, and thus they protect themselves
from the main cause of contagiOn, and their
food is very carefully looked after.
The cases of cholera which have occurred
among the soldiers in the army so far have
been traced in almost every instance direct
ly to the eating of native food or the drink
ing of water that had not been boiled. In
that respect the soldiers in the Philippines,
Of course, disobeyed standing regulations,
but in the navy il is well-nigh impossible
for the sailors to evade a strict compliance
with the regulations, as they are kept
aboard ship under the immediate supervi-
sion of their officers and are not allowed to
expose themselves to the dangers of infec-
ton when their ship is in a chOlera-infected
port.
