Woman to Make Examlnatlons.

A trip to arrange for the holding of
civil service examinations in various cities
of the United States is to be made by one
of the women clerks of the civil service
bureau.
This Is in the nature of an innova-
ton Hitherto all such trips have been
made by men. Until an application was
made recently by one of the women of
the bureau the sending of women on this
work had not been considered seriously.
The commissioners came to the con-
clusion this morning that the experiment
would be tried The person to receive
the appointment, however, has not been
selected.
The success of this first venture and
the capability shown by the pioneer in
covering the field will decide the policy
OF the bureau with regard to future appli-
cations from women for such work.

bers of parliament addressed demonstra-
tions at Liverpool, Manchester. Birming-

of an Irish land settlement.
John Redmond. speaking at Liverpool,
said the governments Irish land purchase
bill offered a great hope of a settlement.
The policy of coercion, he added, had
changed to a policy of Cancellation, but
in view of past disappointments the Irish
party was not too sanguine IL 1t was
worth while to spend millions of pounds
on the acquisition of two Dutch republics,
it was much more important to spend a
few hundred thousands pounds in con-
ciliating Ireland.
William Redmond in a speech at Man
chester declared that the landlords had
surrendered to the national party.

shortly after being discovered. Kearney
was taken to the city hospital, where it
was found that he was shot near the

Bryan campaigned this year in Ohio
where he opened all the vents of his
strenuous oratory to bolster up the
cause of his friend. Tom Johnson. The
principal element of Mr.. Bryan's Ohio
campaign was personal abuse of Sena-
tor Hanna and personal praise of Mr..
Johnson. The results are now known.
The greatest republican victory ever
known was scored against Mr. Johnson.
The voters in Ohio have been able to
distinguish between men and the prin-
ciples they represent. Tom Johnson
may be the good fellow that Orator
Bryan paints him. but he stood in his
personality and his campaign for the
spirit of socialism, and the democracy
of Ohio Joined the republicans in bury
ing that idea.
