Rush for Government Jobs.

The civil service commission says
that the rush for positions under the
government is unprecedented. Last
year 5000 people filed applications for
chance to take the civil service
examinations for positions in the low
er grades. This year the number is
$4,000. The government clerk must
be content to fling away ambition and
lead treadmill existence through
life, and few can hope to earn more
than 81 800 a year. On the other hand,
his tenure is secure, his hours short
and his work, as a rule, easier than
in private employ. The prospect does
not appeal to men of industry, capac-
ity, self-confidence and ambition
There will never be a lack of appli-
cants, but that these should have been
more than doubled in one year is an
interesting and somewhat mysterious
phenomenon.-C1eve Plain Dealer.

MAJOR LENTZ ANXIOUS
FOR BIC ATTENDANCE.
Wants the People of Orange to
Turn Out at Its Meeting
Tonight.

NEWARK, Oct. 23:-MaJor carr
Lentz. the overthrow leader of the
reDublican machine in Essex county,
is appealing to his followers 10 save
his face" at the first OF the mass
meetings he has arranged since the
campaign opened. The meeting mas
been called for this evening in Or
ange. and he is to be the orator of the
occasion. The Colby candidates have
formally decided to keep away from
All demonstrations under machine
auspices. and the fear that he may
be left to flock by himself has moved
Lentz to send out thousands of letters
begging every republican who be-
lieves in his party to be on hand and
help Keep him in c%ountenance.
There is little danger thai Lentz
will be neglected, however, for the
wreck of all the party fences that has
marked the fight of the people
against the bosses has left the multi
tude free to flock where it pleases,
and in the intensity of its interest in
the battle it swarms wherever there
is anything to be heard or to be seen.
1t has been a unique feature of the
campaign in Newark that the meet
ings have been attended by citizens
of both parties, while in Jersey City
the great Pagan demonstration of ten
days ago was so closely matched in
size and enthusiasm by an outpour-
ing at a democratic meeting Friday
night as to balk guesses as to the
likely outcome of the conflict there.

MAS
TO Be MERRY.
Firm Is Planning a Big
Celebration for Children of
This City.

The firm of Leon & Roessler are
making preparations to eclipse abe
excursion which they gave to $500
Sunday school children of this city
during the summer.
The new event will be a Christ
mas tree to be given to all the chill
dren of this city, regardless of creed
or color.
The affair will be held the evening
of December 30 and will be the great
est event of it's kind ever seer in the
city.
About 1000 children are expect
ed to attend and the invitation is
general. No tickets of admission are
needed and the parents and guar
dams of the young folks are invited
TO participate in the jollification.
The Christmas fete will be held in
a hall, the entrance to which is from
The first floor to avoid accidents.
Either Washington or Braga will be
selected.
A Christmas tree, the largest OBJ
tainable, will be illuminated by hun
.dreds of electric lights, n a real
live Santa Claus will distribute pres
nts TO everybody in the hall.
In connection with the tree an en-
t%ertainment of moving pictures and
Christmas songs will be given and
the hall will be decorated with
Christmas greens. Complete details
for the event have not been perfect
ed but will be announced later.
The excursion. of last summer is
still fresh in the minds of the young
folks who attended it and the Christ
mas tree will be a drawing card
which will not be overlooked by the
juvenile citizens of the city. In case
all the young guests cannot be ac-
commodated the evening named, the
Christmas tree will be held another
night.
The handling of so great a num-
Der of children is a stupendous task
but no more trouble is anticipated
than was experienced in taking care
of them on the excursion when not
one of the $500 was hurt or lost and
not even a tear was shed.

package and states that his object IL

that was frustrated by the fact that
the boats were not working on account
of some labor trouble.
Cunliffe, who had been put through

in reading about and listening to com
ments on the robbery instead of roys-

press company, figuring on that as
the most unlikely place the detectives

led to the discovery of the $4,000.
