APPOINTMENT OF CARRIERS.
New Regulations That Will Be Effect
g. i've February 1.

The civil service commission and the
Postmaster General have approved new
regulations to govern appointments of car
riers in the rural free delivery service, the
new regula tons to be effective on February
/. 1901. The present regulations were put
in force February /, 1902, and were largely
experimental, the rural carrier service be-
ing in its infancy.
The most important change made by the
new regulations is the elimination of the ex-
aminers' report concerning the applicants
fitness as part of the examination, the
service having grown to such proportions
as to prevent the examiner making careful
personal inquiry as to applicants. Under
the new plan simple competitive examina-
ton will be held to develop only those quail
ifications that are regarded absolutely
essential in a carrier and the names 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 delivery route submit in
writing sworn statements that an applicant
is unsuitable for appointment, giving spe-
cif1c reasons therefor, each family patron
izing or residing in the route may be re-
quested to express an opinion as to the ap-
plicant's fitness, and If the commission de-
cides he is not suitable the applicants name
shall be stricken from the register. No OBJ
jections that do not touch essential qualifi-
cations will be considered.
Under the new regulations residence of
the applicant near the route and possession
of, or ability to furnish the necessary equip
ment, are made conditions precedent to ell
gibiity and not elements In the examina-
ton as at present.

CONDITIONS AND NEEDS.
Jacob A. Riis to Lecture on Washing
ton City Environments.

Jacob A. Riis, the newspaper reporter, so
cial reformer, author and lecturer. who has
been styled by President Roosevelt 'the
most useful citizen of New York" will be
the principal speaker at the annual meet
ing of the Associated Charities, to be held
Tuesday evening, December Is, in the First
Congregational Church.
Thirty years ago Mr.. Riis, whose name is
known all over the land. was a tramp i'm
migrant from Denmark going from city to
city, looking for work His early expert
ences depicted in the pages of one of his re-
cent books, THE Making of an American"
are full of thrilling interest. After some
years of drifting about he secured employ
ment of a permanent character as police
reporter on one of the great New York
dailies. Immediately he became interested
in the betterment of conditions among the
poor and criminal classes.
The things that Jacob A. Riis started in
to do twenty-five years ago were to tear
down the tenement houses of New York and
put in their places small parks and flower
gardens; to see that sensible tenement
house laws were passed and enforced; to do
away with police station lodging houses: to
see that there were enough public schools
for all the children of New York to estab-
lish boys clubs and girls cooking and sew
ing schools.
When he began on that work there was
scarcely small park in all the great city
half the children; there were tenement
houses in which 4000 tenants were crowded
in one block, many of them living in rooms
in which the sunlight never shone, and
thousands of tramps and criminals slept
together nightly in the free police station
lodging houses. To reform and change all
that would look like a herculean task, but
Riis did it. His only lever when he began
was the pencil he pushed as police re-
porter. But into every story that he wrote
of murder, of poverty, of starvation, of aw-
full misery. of abuse. neglect and suffering
he put his appeal for the betterment of the
condition of the tenement house poor, for
the parks. more schools and the rest. For
twenty-five years he kept persfstently. dog
gedly at it, and at last 1t came, the thing
he had been working for through so many
long years.
Mr.. Riis will include in his address some
special references to "Washington's Con-
ditions and Needs" The address will be
illustrated by new stefeopticon views.
Commissioner Henry B. f. mcfarland
will preside and there will be brief ad-
dresses by Messrs. s. w. Woodward, John
Joy Edison and Charles F. Weller

STRIPPED THE sIDEBoARD.
Thieves Plumber Home Of Presidents
Brother-in-Law.

The New York Herald today says: Cen
trail Office detectives have been on a quiet
hunt for the thief who recently robbed the
home of Douglas Robinson. brother-in-iaw
of President Roosevelt Much valuable
silverware was taken.
Mr.. Roosevelt, when in New York is
usually the guest Of Mr. Robinson at his
residence. Every effort was made by the
police to keep the case from becoming pub
lie. At police headquarters all knowledge of
such burglary or a robbery was denied
until 1t was reported that the amount of
the robbery ran into the thousands. when
the robbery was admitted, but the admis-
sion was qualified with the assertion that
the case was unimportant and the plumber
obtained was small
The Robfnkons live in a handsome home
at No. 40 Madison avenue richly furnished
and containing many valuable heirlooms Of
the Roosevelt family. Mrs. Robinson is a
sister OF the President.
Some person forced the inner door of the
basement and, reaching a sideboard. had
stripped it of knives forks, spoons, sugar
bowls. several plates and large dish
enough to Ill large basket. Hardly one
OF the pieces remained.
There were many servants In the house at
the time and the police are puzzled how an
outsider could have entered, slipped through
the hallway. packed up and carried away q
bundle without attracting attention.

the Japanese minister, said that he be-
lieved this gratifying news to be true.
although he has not been officially adj
yised for several days of the progress of
the negotiations. His government had
always entertained the hope that such a
solution was possible, and while the
progress of the negotiations has been
slow, and while, also, there has been at
times reason to believe that Japan's sin
certify of motive was not fully appreci-
ated, the result shows that 1t is now we'll

MRS. DURANT'S EFFECTS SOLD.
Estate of Widow Of Former Financier
Proves Small

A special dispatch to the New York
Times from Utica, n. Y, last night says:
The personal effects of the late Heloise
H Durant, widow of Thomas c. Durant,
president Of the Credit Mobilier Company,
which built the Central Pacific railroad
across the continent. were sold at auction
In this city today.
They included silyerware, bric-a-brac,
linens and books, gathered from all quar-
tiers Of the globe. In all there were 400 ar
ticles, Mrs. Durant's entire estate, the total
cost OF which was tens Of thousands Of
dollars.
The amount realized, however, is not
likely to exceed $1,000.
The small assets of the estate of Mrs.
Durant are as surprising to the general
public as the condition Of the estate OF
Thomas C. Durant. Mr.. Durant was at one
time very wealthy man. but upon his
death judgments amounting to $20.000000
are said to have absorbed the estate.

FOUR MONTHS EARLIER
GRADUATES AT NAVAL ACAD-
EMY THIS YEAR.
Government in Urgent Need Of Officers
Prominent Athletes in First
Glass.
spe cial Dispatch to The Evening Star.

SW cfaI Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ANNAPOLIS. December 5-The attention
Of those interested in the Naval Academy
has been SO thoroughly fixed upon foot ball
of late that 1t is just beginning to be
realized that another class will leave the
institution within two months.
A similar state of affairs exists now as
has been the case for several years past,
and the country is in such urgent need of
naval officers that the graduation of the
first class must take place in February
instead of June.
The authorities of the Naval Academy arc
doing their best to fit the members Of the
first class to receive their commissions,
though great regret is felt that the whole
&C urse cannot be completed.
The last term Of the first class year Is
devoted to practical exercises, applying the
Knowledge gained during the whole course,
and the omission of this part of the prepa-
ration for holding the commission is a great
loss to the midshipmen and the service.
However. some of the instruction in ord
nance, gunnery, seamanship and naviga-
ton. which usually takes place in the
spring. has been accomplished this fall.
Will Be Final in First Glass.
Semi-annual examinations. which will be
fiEal in the case of the first class. will
begin about January 90 and will be over
so as to permit graduation during the first
week of February, at a date which has not
yet been fixed upon exactly.
/ The beard of visitors appointed by the
President win not visit the academy until
the first week in June, that this year
there VIII not be the gala week generally
furnished by the visit of the board, cul-
mfnattng In the eclat of the gradua ting
ceremonies and the farewell ball.
AT the time of graduation the weather
will, of course, be too cold for out-of-door
exercises, and the only function will be the
farewell ball given by the class of 1905 to
1904 in the armory.
The occasion of the sojourn of the board
of visitors will also be less interesting be-
cause of the absence of graduation, al
though all the usual drills and practical ex-
ercises will be held and they will be on a
greater scale than usual, owing to the in
creased number of midshipmen.
Unusual Number Of Good Students.
The graduating class contains an unus-
ually large number of good students, of
fine athletes and other likely youths. who
will be missed from the different phases of
academic life
Top honors in scholarship are expected to
go to Midshipman Carl Albert Richeter of
Wisconsin, but he is pressed closely by Mid
shipmen David Med. LeBreton of Washing
ton. d. c.. and Fred G. Coburn of Min
nesOta.
Other leading students in the class are
Mdshipmen Arthur G. Caffee Of Missouri
Andrew G. PickenS of Alabama, Robert B.
Willard of New York, John E. Otterson of
New York, Prentiss -P. Bassett of Con-
necticut, Charles A Harrington and Charles
C. Soule, jr., of Massachusetts.

Athletes That Will Leave.

Among the prominent athletes that will
leave the academy by the graduation of the
first class are Captain Soule of the foot ball
team, and William F. Halsey, jr., of New
Jersey and Edison c. Oak of Maine of the
same aggregation.
The base ball team will lose it's captain,
P. P. Bassett. The fencing team will lose
Captain Riggs of New Jersey and Robert B.
Hiliard of New York and Cleon w. Mauldin
of South Carolina.
Edwin O. Fitch of Massachusetts, is the
president of the class and the ''fye-strip-
per- or cadet lieutenant commander, the
highest officer In the midshipman brigade.
The class has sixty-two members.
