Not Allowed to Take Civil Service.

Under n recent ruling of the Secre-
tary of the Navy no enlisted men of
the navy will be allowed to take a
civil service examination for any po-
sition unless it is apparent that the
position for which he is being exam
ined will not be vacant until abou
the time of the expiration of. his term
of enlistment. 1t has been the policy
in the past to give permission TO en-
listed men Of the service to take civil
service examinations when the Depart
ment believed that they had a fair
chance of getting certain position.
There have been so many applications
from enlisted men to take examina-
tion under the civil service that it
has been deemed advisable to establish
the rule that such permission cannot
be granted except near the end of a
mans s term of enlistment or when he
desires to take an examination for a
position which will not be vacant un :
til about the time he leaves the service

The End of The Katahdin.
Special Dispatch to Evening capital

Special DlsDatcn TO Evening Sspit1L
Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 16.-The
Katahdin. the famous ram constructed
after designs made by Admiral Am
men, and which for long time has
been lying idle at the League Island
navy yard, is gradually falling TO
pieces. The Navy Department is in a
quandry concerning the ships future
and it is doubtful whether the g, 600
required to make the most necessary
repairs on the ship will be allowed
The naval constructors and others
have been examining the ship with a
view to ascertaining whether it is
possible to convert 1t to some practical
use, but it is so constructed for th e
purpose of ramming ID naval engage
ment, that the removal of this prin-
eipal characteristic would cost more
than the ship would be worth without
the novel structural function of offence
1t was realized early that the Katah.
din was failure and it was decided
thRt as little as possib bic would be done
with the ship. AS nobody wants the
ship and nothing can be made of ii. it
is not considered wise to expend any
money for keeping il afoat. For that
reason it is quite probable that the
Katahdin, at one time a famous ship,
will be allowed 20 crumble to pieces

cut and several beer bottles were
smashed beyond mending by being
driven forcibly against the said head
by one of the women in the house.

head. Although the bottles were
broken, the head got rather the worst
of the contact. No arrests have yet
been made, but it is understood that a
