The Civil Service Commission and the
Postmaster General have approved new
regulations to govern appointments of
carriers in the rural free delivery service,
the new regulations to be effective on
February l, 1904.
The most important change made is the
elimination of the examiners report con-
corning the applicants fitness as a part
of the examination, the service having
grown to such proportions as to prevent
the examiner making careful personal in
quiry as to applicants. Under the new
plan a simple competitive examination
will be held to develop only these qualifi
cations that are regarded as absolutely
essential in a carrier. and the of
those passing the examination will be
placed on the register in the order of
their ratings and certified accordingly.
In order that patrons of a given route
may have some voice in the matter, the
new regulations provide that whenever
five or more patrons of a rural free de-
livery route submit in writing sworn state
ments that an applicant is unsuitable for
appointment, giving specific reasons there
for, each family patronizing or residing
on the route may be requested to express
an opinion as to the applicants name
being stricken from the register. No OBJ
j~ections that do not touch essential quail
ications will be considered. Under the
new regulations residence of the appli-
cant near the route and possession Of or
ability to furnish the necessary equipment
are made conditions precedent to eligi-
bility, and not elements in the examina-
ton, as at present.

motion over senior officers is when that
promotion is given-that is, when Pres
dent Mckinley made Wood Brigadier-
General. In the present case President
Roosevelt found Wood at the head of the
list of B%rigadier Generals and merely
gave him the promotion to which his po-
sition entitled him, making him a Major
General, when a vacancy in that rank
occurred An important fact which has
come out in the investigation is that
Wood asked the War Department to APP
point a Court of Inquiry to examine il
to his conduct and that Secretary Root,
after considering all the circumstances,
decided that the charges were not of
sufficient weight or II ficiently sustained
to justify such inquiry. According to
a careful canvas of the Committee of
Military Affairs there are net likely to be
more than two votes against a favorable
report on Woods promotion. One will
come from Senator Scott of West Vir-
ginia whose objection to Wood has long
antedated the present hearing; and the
other from Senator Blackburn of Ken
lucky, who will vote against him for
party reasons. AS the Committee on
Military Affairs is composed of the most
trusted members of tn Senate, that body
is sure to accept its report.
A union of wnman's clubs has establish

The first question considered was tie
raising of funds and it has been decided
to issue a call to the country to raise
5 5000 for the purposes of the union A
pamphlet setting forth the evil results to
the country which would follow if Sena-
tor Smoot retained his seat, will be issued
and it is hoped, secure money to advance

THE LATE DIR.

Rev. DR.. John L~anahan, who died
Tuesday at his home in this city says
the Baltimore "Sun," had been active
in the ministry of the Methodist
Episcopal Church for nearly IS years.
DR.. Lanahan began his work as a
pastor in the days of the circuit riders.
When a very young man be was ad-
mitted to membership in the Balti-
mor Conference. He retained his
membership therein to the time of his
death. During his long MINISTRY he
served as presiding elder for several
terms and as pastor of many of the
larger congregations in the conference.
DR.. Lanahan was an earnest and force
full pulpit orator and fearless in bis
advocacy of what be believed to, be
right. The courage and determina-
ton which he displayed while an agent

New York showed the quality of the

position he unearthed frauds on the
Book Concern and, despite threats
and even arrest, proved his charges
against the men implicated in the
transaction. For many years Dr..
Lanahan vas a familiar figure in Balti-
more. He was a delegate to the Gen.
eral Conference of the church on many
occasions, and took a conspicuous part
in the deliberations of that body. He
enjoyed the friendship of President
Lincoln, Hayes and Mckinley. Until
a few months ago DR.. Lanahan pre-
served his mental vigor unimpaired.
Two years ago be preached a sermon
at Ocean Grove which was pronounced
one of the strongest discourses he eve
delivered. He was in every respect a
faithful and worthy minister OF the
great church in whose service his life
was spent, and his loss will be deeply
mourned by the thousands to whom
he has stood in the relation of pastor.

TINE TO MAKE OTHERS
app

Now that Christmas is approaching
the various plans for making the sea-
son happy for those who are not able
to make it happy for themselves de.
serves hearty support from the general
public, says the Baltimore "American."
The Salvation Army posts its officers
at corners, where in all weathers and
temperatures they stand with their
boxes for contributions to the Christ.
mas dinner they give the hungry poor;
the ladies and gentlemen interested in
the welfare of the newsboys are pre-
pairing a good holiday feed for those
%voracious youngsters; the various hos
pitfalls and charitable institutions need
some extra funds to make a gala sea-
son for the inmates under their care
and even the prisons put on, by the
aid of the mercifully inclined, a less
gloomy appearance than usual.
OF all these charities, those having
for their object the making happy Of
the hearts of the little children at this
season, when all children, rich and
poor, look forward to gifts and pleas
ure as their natural right, have the
strongest claims on the sympathy and
aid Of the public. No class of human
beings plead so strongly for happiness
as the little ones. Their need of it is
so great, the blissful Ignorance of their
childhood as to the hardships of the
world is so short, and it takes so little
to make a child happy, that the lack
OF childish glee at Christmas time is
the saddest thing in the world.
There is no surer way of erjoying
the holiday season than by making it
enjoyable to others. A pleasure given
is a pleasure doubled. And happiness
is as much needed in the world as air,
food aud clothes. 1t is the custom
with many to regard merely substan-
tial-what are called practical wants
AS the only one to be relieved; but
the other needs, less apparent but just
as real, are as essential to life as the
means of life themselves. There are
few unable to make some kind of a
festive season at this time; many will
hail it as the gladdest period of the
year. Let each one, then, give to his
less fortunate brother according to his
means, either to individual cases in
his own experience or to organized
charity of some kind or other. The
appeals being made now on all sides
should not be made in vain.

Trouble Takes Serious Turn-PoIice.
men Detailed to Keep Order.

HlCH GOIdICO " NCNp OiQGIs
New York, May 4.-The strike of
italian rock drillers and diggers took
a more serious turn in the Bronx to-
day and so policemen were sent to
keep order along the excavation for
water mains where men are working
in the strikers places.
4 rumor was circulated among the
1900 men at work that 5000 strikers
would march out today and try to in
duce them to quit The police were
picketed along the excavation and all
Italians near it and not working were
ordered to move on. Bands of Ital-
ians, however, marched by and shout.
ed harshly at the men in their places.
Agent Landau, of the Italian labor
union, says there were $4,000 men on
strike in the city and that all work in
the Bronx soon would be stopped.
A big box of explosives which was
in a shanty for the excayating work
in the Bronx was ordered buried by
the police and two guards were sta
toned near to watch it. Encouraged
by the action of the Central Federated
union in indorsing their demands, the
laborers employed on the subway re-
mained on strike today and the tieup
of work was as complete as on Sat
urday.

MAY REVoLUTioNIzE FOOTBALL
Proposed New Rules Will Make Game
Less Dangerous to Play.

FIOPOSGQ NSW F1ulGS WIFI wake game
Less Dangerous to Play.
New York, May 4.-American col
lege football bids fair to be revolution
ICED next fall if the intercollegiate
football rules committee carries into
effect a regulation which it now has
under consideration. This rule pro
vides for nothing less than that the
ball has to pass through the hands of
only two men before being regarding
as in play. At present it is neces-
sary for it to go through the hands of
three men.
By the proposed rule the center can
snap the ball to any man on the team
who may then rush with it. 1t win
be possible, therefore, for the quarter
back 60 carry the ball, an important
innovation and because of the fact
that any man may take the pigskin
without the quarterback's previous as
sistance, and all sorts of puzzling COM
bfhations will be feasible. Indeed, in
the opinion of experts, football under
these conditians would be almost an
entirely new game for the first season
at least, and would resolve itself large
ly into a question who's got the
ball?"
With this regulation in effect the
present evils of mass-play which have
aroused such opposition, would, it is
believed, largely be done away with,
and a more open and less dangerous
style of play come into effect.
