Cards Seem to be Stacked on schley.

Washington, Jan. S.-Washington
awaits with intense interest the presen-
tation of Rear Admiral Schley's appeal
to the president and the latter's reply
to it. it is realized that this is the last
chance for the Rear Admiral to secure
official vindication, aud Rear Admiral
Schloy's friends hope that the presi-
dent will act favorably to Schley, yet
in view of his previous attitude and the
reports that come from the white house
they have really little hope. If the
president fails to give favorable ear to
the Schley appeal. ,lnte is nothing to
hope for Rear ldmna. Schley officially.
Many though his friends be in congress
they will be unable to prevail against
the house organization which is hostile
to him, or against the senate naval
committee in the senate, but despite
this the Sehley case will prol,a bly, he

Street Railway Franchises.

Having noticed that the staff, in
some editorial paragraphs, endorses
the idea of granting a street railway
franchise to Congressman Brownlow, /
am surprised to know that Editor Bell
has taken a stand in that direction,
knowing his former antipathy to Mr..
Brownlow. What has come over his
dreams? Is it on account of having
been offered the editorship of the
Jonesboro paper, as has been talked on
the street?
| here want to remark that have the
oldest charter, having applied years
ago before the old company was ever
thought Of, and can see no reason why
l was knocked out then unless it was
on political grounds. A few weeks ago
l went to the board of aldermen with a
petition intending to present it that
night, but the city attorney advised
that the matter be held up, as be did
not know whether the old company
had lost their franchise. But strange
to say, on the very next meeting, with
out any notice to me, he comes in and
presents a petition asking for fran
chise for Hon. W. P. Brownlow.
l did not know before, until 1 saw it
in the staff, that a mans service to his
constituents entitled him to any more
consideration in matters of this kind,
than to any other citizen, unless it be a
citizen of the town. l also thought it
was the duty of the city attorney to look
after the interest of the town and not
after the interest of any individual,
giving to every man an equal chance.
But as there are parties here, both
great and small, who seem to look af-
ter Mr.. Brownlow's affairs in all things,
being under obligations to him, and as
l have nothing OF the kind at my dis
posal, I feel that the contest is unequal
and therefore tip my hat, bow myself
out of the contest, waiting with compo-
sure future deve opment.

When the regular work for the Of.
ternoon was finished, discussion Of

poned from last week was taken up.
Mrs. st. John opened with ''The Mis-
tress Versus the Maid" Mrs. G. Wof-
ford replied with "The Maid versus
the Mistress. The subject was then
discussed very generally and some
very amusing if not very practical
thoughts and experiences were broght
out.

In Society.


The Monday Club met this week for
another OF its delightful afternoons
with opera, Mrs. Ellsworth being hos
tess. The two papers for the afternoon
were "Grand Opera in America aud its
Principal Singers" by Mrs. Guy
Smith, and 1.-The Future Of Opera in
America" by Mrs. james. Mrs. Smith
told in a very entertaining and instruc-
tive way Of the introduction of italian
Opera into America by the Garcia COM
pany, of the English opera which came
a little later, and finally of the German
opera, which reigns all but supreme at
present. She gave notes on the lives
Of some Of the principal singers in each
period and told several delightful an
ecdotes in connection with them. Mrs.
Smiths style is always charming, aud
particularly so when, as ON this occas-
ion, she is in sympathy with her sub
iect.
Mrs. James divided her subject aud
treated it under these three heads; LIST,
The American opera singer of the fu-
ture; end, The American opera com.
poser of the future; 3rd, The Librettist
of the future. Under the first head
she quoted as the opinion of q number
OF the worlds most famous singers and
teachers of singing, that the most beau
tiful voices in the world are in America
but that they are far, far more often
than otherwise utterly ruined before
they are mature. She deplored the
vanity and ignorance of parents who
permit and even urge their children to
sing long and loud and high and alto
gether is altogether. Such course Of
screaming (for it is not singing is lit
tie less than criminal since it robs the
child Of an almost priceless jewell be-
fore the child can know its worth. Il
concluding this division Of her subject
Mrs. James predicted that time would
teach wisdom anil then Americas gol
den voices would be trained in correct
methods aud America would lead the
world in singing.
| Under the second head she called Mt
tentiOn to the fact that men of Anglo
Saxon lineage haYe never beea vcr,
successful in the field of grand opera,
but was hopeful that the mixture O.
nationalities which goes to make VI
the great body of Americans woult
give us composers who would writ,
truly national music, music as differcn
from other music as America is differ
emit from other nations.

CIVIL SERVICE
Will Hereafter Extend to Free Delivery
Carriers.

Will Hereafter Extend to Free Delivery
Carriers.
A new ruling which will put free ru.
raj delivery carriers under the civil ser.
vice ruling, is expected to go into effect
February /, of this year. All free de.
livery carriers will enter the classified
civil service and will have to stand q
formal though not rigid examination.
Rules have been adopted which affects
the rural carriers and in the future they
will have TO stand examinations before
they can be appointed.
February /, 1902, as stated, was fixed
as the date that rules will become effec-
tive. After that date all petitions for
the establishment OF service will be
submitted on blanks furnished by the
department, and will include nomina-
tons for the position Of carrier, each
petitioner having the right to make 9
nomination il he desires to do so. The
special agent who reports upon the fea-
sibility of establishing service will also
examine the applicants nominated by
the petitioners, and any others who
may apply.
The examination will be exceedingly
simple, only sufficient to test the appli-
cant's ability to read and write. Itcon-
sists in filling out an application blank
on which are q number of personal
questions. Only persons residing on
or in the immediate vicinity of pro-
posed route will be examined. Only
such applicants will be examined as
have the necessary equipment, horse
and wagon or cart, or who can satisfy
the special agent that they are prepar-
ed, if appointed, to furnished such
equipment.
The rule allowing the practitioners
to suggest the name OF the carriers il
expected to obviate the recurrence OF
political squabbles over appointments.
The rule goes so far as to specify that
political Endorsement will not be re-
ceived nor entertained. The examina-
tons will be confined to persons over 81
years of age and nnder IS, with the ex-
ception of honorably discharged SOL
diers in the civil or Spanish war, tc
whom the age limit does not apply.
Applicants will DO examined by 9
board of examiners selected from the
clerical force of the rural free delivery
service, who will act as civil service
examining board.

cording to this franchise presented by

points, make it turnpike and charge
lawful tolls. Parties living upon the
now free road will thus be compelled 20
travel the turnpike and pay or build
private roads to some other outlet. In
their desire to get sample pike road
in the county some Of the magistrates
did not seem to realize that they were
voting to form trust, in sense.

for the first chRncery division has de-
cided that the nomination of candi-
