A Word 10 the Wise.

Washington, Sept. 2.-If Kentuck
ians who desire government positions
in the civil service at Washington ar.
wise they will get a hustle, take the
civil service examinations and await
developments which are sure to fol-
low soon John T. Doyle. the gen
iaI and able Secretary Of the Civil
Service Commission, authorizes the
Evening Post 70 say that there is a
demand for Kentuckians in Wash
ington, particularly for stenographers
and typewriters.
The law requires the department
places in Washingtoa to be appor-
toned as nearly equally as possible
in proportion TO population among the
States Kentucky is below her quota.
She has places coming 10 her, ana II
there were capable candidates from
Kentucky they would stand a good
show Of early appointments, Mr-
Doyle says.
It Is an interesting fact that nuar-
| ly all of the Southern States ara
behind in their quotas. while The
Northern and Eastern States have
an excess beyond the number Of 20
sitions which they could eqaitabll
claim.
While Kentucky only lacks one po
sition fhaying her quota, never
the less Mr.. Doyle says that sh
would be in line for about fiftse
places more If the material were q

Grayson Springs. The most important
changes which We're agreed upon as

system and the method OF selecting
jurors The question Of the number
of challenges was considered. and II
was agreed that the defense should
be entitled to ten. while the STATE
should have the same number Al
present the State has only five ant
the defense has fiften. Another sec
tion Of the code. relating to the elig
ihiiv Of petit jurors. is defective

Attorneys believe that in order 10
