OFFICIALS LEVIED ASSESSMENT
Postal Bosses Alleged to Have Taxed

Required Them to Canvas for Votes
Regardless of Political Affiliati0n.

Washington. The United Sta tes
civil service commission has made
public statement claiming that the
recent supplanting of Surveyor
General c. g. Goodale, OF Colorado,
by the appointment OK J. Viyiap to
be due to an investigation made by
that commission. TIE complaint was
for violation OF the civiI service law
by collecting assessments from en-
ployes of the department.. The pay
ments were so regularly demanded
that they were called "the dog
tax, says the state nent, and they
were apportioneu among the clerks
so that each had to pay one, two or
three days salary per month. as the
needs of the campaign demanded.
Employees paid these assessments ir-
respective OF their own political be-
liefs and under botn Democratic
and Republican administrations.
The clerks also were directed to go
from door to door and ask persons
who were strangers If they had reg
istered, etc., work which they
found very disagreeabIe. LII addi-
tiGn to the retirement of Mr.. Good
ale, two clerks in the Office, Charles
]. Christian and Johr q. Fleming,
who were most active in collecting
tie assessments, have been dismissed.
The marine hospital service has
received a report from Assistant Sur
geon Grubbs, who is stationed at the
quarantine station giving the re-
suits of his inspection of vessels ar
irving from ports likely to De IT,
fected with yellow fever germs.
The observation covered the period
from June to November, 1902, and
during that time eighty-two vessels
were inspected. On three of these
infected mosquitoes were found.
DR.. Grubbs draws the following
conclusion from his observations:
First, that mosquitoes can come
aboard vessel under favorable
conditions when the vessel Is not
far from shore. Second, that stego-
mia can be carried from Mexican
or West Indian ports to those of our
Gulf States Third, that they can't
board vessel lying at anchor a
half mile or sc from short, being
conveyed by ths open lighters used
for loading and finally that a vessel
moored short distance from land
may become infected with yellow
fever, Notwithstanding other beliefs
to the contrary.

A Religion That Crows.

The idea that Mohammedanism IA
played out" would be dangerous one
Tor statesmen to bank upon. 1t isn't.
Mohammed began his career as a
prophet more than 600 years later than
the beginning Of the Christian era. At
present he has 176,00O,OOO disciples,
more than one-third as many as there
are Christians in the world.
Nine hundred years ago there We're
In India no Mohammedans Now there
are 50,000,O0O, and they are increasing
In number constantly. They are by all
odds the most energetic subjects in
British India.
The western wave of Mohammedan-
ism rolled up to the farthest corner of
Spain, up to the walls of Vienna, ard
then began to recede, but the shrink
ing process was accompanied by ex-
pansion elsewhere. In Africa Moham-
mechanism is steadily proselyting. Rus
STA in Europe has 10000 followers of
the prophet, more than there are in
what is called Turkey in Europe
Asia, however, the realm Of future
growth, is the Mohammedan strong
hold. To less than 100000 native
Christians there are 1O9OOO,GOO Mo-
hemmedans.-New York World.

The LIONS ROM.

Major Austin, writing of his travels
IN central Africa, says: 'srhe grandest,
the most awe inspiring, the most ire
mendous voice on earth issues from the
throat of that king Of beasts, the lion.
It is difficult to describe that mighty
roar bursting out into the silence of the
night and seeming to shake the very
ground beneath one. It makes one feel
petty, Insignificant, Of no account,
when his majesty voices his satisfac-
ton at having dined well on some poor
unsuspecting antelope which has al
lowed itself to fall under the clutches
of that ponderous paw. The men hud-
die together; deadly stiffness follows;
there is catch in ones breath, and it
is with sense Of relief whisper per-
haps Of 'Simba shiba' the lion is sati-

Green as the Irish Color.

Green is universally regarded
as the Irish color, but antiquar-
ians say that green as the ma
tional flag of Ireland is of COM
paratively modern origin. The
latest authority to express an
opinion on the subject is Rev.
Canon French, a learned MEM
ber of the Royal Irish academy.
He does not accept the axplana-
tion that the green flag was
adopted by the United Irish
man at the close of the eigh-
teenth century by blending the
orange and blue, the latter be-
ing then regarded by some as
the Irish flag. He asserts that
the emerald green standard was
used in Ireland i'm the sixteenth
century, but it was not till the
eighteenth century that it be-
came the national color.
