The first reformation in the depart
mental service, if the President proposes to
effect any, should be the discharge from
the Government service of every woman
who has a husband, said an old clerk in
front of the Hotel Johnson last night
But how are they to be found outp'
why, that's nonsense. In every depart
ment there is somebody who knows the
married women clerks There are many of
these women suffering under the imputation
that they are living with lovers as they
represent themselves as being unmarried
and are carried on the rolls as miss or
widow
What are your reasons for advocating
their discharged"
I'm the first place because il is against
the rules and law governing the service to
employ married women whose husbands
are living with and able, even if not
willing, to support them. Then being mar
ried women they know men and how to
make it unpleasant for them in various
ways too numerous to partcularize To a
young girl or unmarried woman there is
some glamor about the opposite sex which
makes them more companionable and less
sinister in their actions The married wo-

and takes advantage of every prerogative of
her sex to give him the worst of it in every
way. The single woman is not SO posted
and she is more apt to do her share and live
on terms of amity with the male clerk
What business anyway has a married
woman in the departments who is living
with her husband2 I know numbers of
cases where the husbands are in business
l. - 4 fr-
dons while their wives are department
clerks and drawing from 5000 to $4,000 per
anuum. It's bad enough to have women
in the departments at all aud compelling
men to walk the streets who might fill their
places and become their husbands, but
surely the line ought to be sharply drawn
on the married woman, " aud the clerk went

Mr. Chase announces next weeks pro-
gramme in the fullest confidence that it
will be found attractive and popular. 1t
contains nine numbers aud leads off with
two novelties of distinction. First in con-
sideratiou is Keiths new spectacular pro-
duction, which is credited with being vastly
different and better than the spectacles by
the same name, which drew immense
audiences to Chase's last spring. There
are nearly twice the former number of
dancers employed, and the scenery and
costumes are much more costly and elabo-
rate. The production is divided into two
parts, the first retaining only the original
same and idea, Pageant Of the Nations"
This is a series Of new and effective
marches by forty attractive young women
in the picturesque uniformc of the great
nations of the world. The tableaux and
electrical effects are said to be very fine.
The other part is called, "The Venetian
Flower Dance, which Is wholly new aud
more picturesque than the FIRST spectacle.
In this the chorus, dressed as Venetian boys
and girls, disport themselves in the midst of
lavish floral decorations and electric lights.
In this, too, Elseeta, the marvellous toe
dancer, will be introduced in her splendid

composed Of the Colibris Midgets, of Hun

lieved to present the most diverting enter

Company at the Lyceum Theater next
week, for mass Of struggling humanity
have crowded every theater where they
have shown The performance and the
production are of the very best The scenic
artist, costumer electrician, author, chorus
master, ballet master and manager seem to
have put forth their best efforts in the
staging and production Of this show, and
their efforts have been crowned with a sue
cess seldom vouchsafed any mortal From
the rise of the curtain at the opening part
of the bill to the close Of the performance
it is one blaze Of beauty. First it is The
High Rollers at Paris, then an olio of
vaudeville artists in their wonderful novel
ties, then the burlesque, "McThunder's
Blunders." There is nothing to compare
with it, No company can be put in a com
parison. Others may try to initiate, but
they will find it quite impossible, for The
High Rollers stand in the unique position
of the leaders Of fashion in burlesque, and
they set the pace at such a gait that the
companies who start in the race at the be-
ginning of the season hobble off, no longer
able to keep in sight of 50 swift a leader
The feature of The High Rollers show this
season is the immense living pictures.
They are the largest, most beautiful and
voluptou- ever seen in any theater Even
Killauyi's f'mous pictures that were
brought over from Europe at an enormous
expense are Insignificant in comparison.
They are a Joy to see because of their

"Oh, yes, and the Alabama man will re-
member it all his life. DO you want me to
tell you the storya"
Yes; sure"
Well you know that Alabama has neither
Republican Congressman nor Senators,
hence Dimick, as chairman Of the Republi-

whole state of Alabama from the Republi-
can point of view. He came all the way
from Birmingham to see the President in
the interests of a candidate for the post
office He solicited my company to call on
the President | accompanied as I know
Dimick to be a staunch Republican, having
campaigned in his state -
Yes; well?'
We waited with others over an hour
when the President dashed into the room a

he ordered the spokesman to speak up. "
He shouted at the next group ''Well--what
can do for voue" and by the time the man
answered he was charging full tilt on the
next group. Senators, Congressman, poll
ticians of note, etc. were all treated alike.
Finally he reached our squad and Captain
Dimick began to say his little piece. "Mr.
President want to speak to you about our

President, speak quick, speak quick sir

MORO FORTS TAKEN.
Americans Make Quick Work al Maciu.

1 MANILA, Oct. z.-The. Maciu Moros in Mindanao have offered but slight resistance to the column under Cap tain J. J. Pershing of the Fifteenth cavalry.
 After a series of skirmishes on Mon- day and Tuesday of this week the Moros retreated into six forts on the shores of the lake. When a courier left Maciu Tuesday for Camp Wears, Captain Pershing was preparing to as sault the last Moro strongholds. The American column reached the former camp at Maciu Sunday night. On Monday the Moros opened fire on them with brass cannon and rifles from series of new forts which had been erected since Captain Pershing's first visit to the place. The battery under Captain William S. McNair scaled ridge commanding the position of the Moros and shelled them out. The engineers under Captain Jay J. Morrow had constructed a trail over the swamp, fanking the Moro posi- tion. The men of Captain Pershings column crossed the swamp by the trail and captured aIfl destroyed three of the Moro forts. The M6ros stood but a short while and ran as soon as the artillery. opened on them.
 Captain Pershing has been ordered to destroy the forts unless the Moros make peace. Twenty Moros were killed and many were wounded. There were no casualties among the Ameri- cans. +s r@ ,~: 925@a
