EVANGELIST FoRGER.
Well Known Crook Assumes Cloak of
Preacher.

Hiawatha, Kansas, Dec. 8.-A. A.
Arthur, aged II, who has made his
home here since last September, rep
resenting himself as a retired preacher
and evangelist, was arrested here yes
terday ON a charge of forging a check
for $4,000 at Paris, Texas. Arthur
admitted his guilt and agreed to re-
turn to Texas without requisition.
Under the name of II. H. Boyd Ar
thur conducted revival meetings at
Paris last summer. In August he de-
posted a draft for $4,000 in Paris
bank. The draft was regularly made out
to H. H. Boyd, and was signed by M.
M. Stevenson, cashier of the Georgia
National bank of Athens, Ga. Arthur
drew out $4,000 of the money and dis
appeared after which it was dis
covered that the draft had been forged.
The detective who arrested him said
that Arthur is we'll known forger and
is wanted in several states; that he
served a term in the Iowa penitentiary
and in Chicago Jail before going to

ity and the highest degree of integrity.
It's officials are sustained in the per-
Torrance of their duties and protected
against frivolous charges and fault
finding, but when found to be mel
ficient or untrustworthy they are
promptly dispensed with. During the
past year every effort has been made
to improve the service in this respect,
with the result that % presidential ap-
pointees, who had been commissioned
since March 4, 1897, have been el1m1-
mated from the Indian territory and
land service. Of these 9 resigned, 3
were removed and 6 were superseded on
the expiration of their terms. The
above-mentioned rule is equally appli-
cable to the clerical force of the de-
partment and has been rigidly en-
forced in every instance.
In prior annual reports he adverted
to the fact that the compensation fixed
by law for the services of the assist
ant secretary of the interior and of
the chiefs of division in the secretary's
Office were inadequate, and in again
directing attention to the subject he
suggests the advisability of the early
reimbursement of these salaries by
congress on a more equitable basis.
The report dealt at length with the
bureaus of public lands, pensions
census and other matters embraced in
the department

GAIN SOME POINTS

ST. Petersburg, Dec. 8.-The colrn-
ellis of empire and of ministers, by the
emperor's direction, are considering
the memorial presented by the coun-
Gil of the zemstvoists, recently held
