Service Commission.

The Civil Service Commission has no
preference for grass widows when fill
ing positions in the service in which
women may work acceptably.
In fact. the Civil Service Commission
has taken the pains to announce, Of
fcially, that they viii not promote
grass widows over the heads of other
employees, or look with exceptional
favor upon the applications Of qualified
widows.
The report is sent out not for the
benefit Of those women who have been
unable to pull their share Of a double
load. but to warn those who would
rather have a government job than d
husband that they need be in no hurry
TO discard the masculine part OF the
family SO long as he continues TO pay
rent and buy beefsteak
When il was announced some time
ago that the commission does not ap-
prove Of both husband and wife having
government jobs. some wag sent d

PATRICK GROWS UNEASY.
Alarmed Over Prospect of His APP
peal for Communication of Sentence.

Ossining, y. Y. Dec. 15.--Neyer before
during the FIVE years Of his incarceration
in the death-house at Sing Sing Prison
has Albert T. Patrick felt such great anx-
iety over his case as now. Patrick's last
hope 10 escape the electric chair IS that
Gov. Higgins will take favorable action in
his case before he goes out of Office on
January /. Having withdrawn his case
from the United States Supreme Court
contrary 10 the advice OF some of his law
yers, he now has no other alternative but
10 make an appeal for executive clemency
to the governor. He prefers TO have Gov
Higgins act on this appeal rather than
have It come before Gov-elect Hughes.
Patrick now realizes fully the critical
stage of his case. At first he stated that
he wanted a pardon or nothing from the
governor, but Of late he has changed his
views and will be grateful 10 escape with
a commutatiOn Of his sentence TO impris-
Onment for life.
II is said that Mrs. Patrick. who visits
her husband regularly twice a week, will
personally appear before Gov Higgins and
plead with him TO commute the death SEN

Richmond, Va. Dec. Incorporation
Commissioner Henry c. Stuart, discussing
the matter Of the recent wreck on the
Southern. at Danville, in which Engineer
Kinney lost his life. said that the evi-
dence disclosed the fact that the trainmen
were often on duty as much as forty
eight hours at a time
This must not be understood as being
compulsory, however. 1t is a matter of
choice on the part of trainmen. who do
the extra work for their own advantage.
The engineers are not compelled to run
more than twelve hours. Mr.. Stuart said
the report Of the commission w.ll deal
with the management Of the road in a
frank manner. placing the blame where II
belongs, whether the responsible parties
be high or low in the affairs of the COM
pany.
1t developed at the hearing that the
telegraph operators are not responsible to
any one They are required to make no
reports. Commissioner Stuart confirmed
the report of the story that the engine
pulling the train on the night Of the
wreck had had window on the engi-
neer's side blocked with tin, completely

as the date for the mass meeting of Cath
olic citizens of the District to protest
against the confscation by the French

effect the preliminary arrangements.
Thomas J. Donovan was elected chair
man Of the committee; II. Ambrose Mars
den. secretary, and L. Mangan, treasurer.
The settlement of the date called for
considerable discussion. and December 30
was decided upon for the reason that it
just preceded the biggest celebration of
the Christmas holidays by the French, 1t
being pointed out by Prof Monaghan that
in France New Year overshadows Christ
mas.
The movement is purely citizens one,
no member of the clergy or government
officials. with the exception of a number
of members of Congress who are eX-
pected TO make speeches, participating.
Three committees were appointed, on
executive, finance, and programme. It is
