they work declaires that none but ab- solutely sound men shall be passed for admission to the police force they have no alternative but to obey it.
 Foreign critics say that we Ameri- cans are too fond of technicalities: that the business of our law courts Is retarded by the quibbling over minor points, and that in every department of of activeity we go in too seriously for the form" rather than the substance. Certainly. red tape Is never more voluminous than in some of our civil service examinations. In many cases no provision is made for exceptional qualifications that may be possessed by an applicant for a position, quite out side the narrow limits of the formal examination. In order not to work injustice most rules should admit of exceptions. and especially should rules be subject to iudicious construction in the case of applicants for positions as public servants Without being dangerous latitude, examiners might be permitted to exercise a little of what Emerson called the satisfying grace of common sense"

SCARED BY QUAKES
EUREKA, CALIFORNIA, PEOPLE
 FEEL THREE SHOCKS.
chimneys Are Knocked Down and Plate Glass Windows Are Broken by Force of the
 Shocks.

Eureka, Cal. Aug. 1S.-Three sharp earthquake shocks which knocked down more than a hundred chimneys, shattered about forty plate glass win dows in the business portion of Eureka, broke much crockery in the houses and sent many people scurry- ing from their beds into the streets, occurred here early to-day. The damage reported so far is estimated at between $2.000 and $3,000. The first and sharpest shock came at za5s a. m. It was almost as severe as the one felt here on. April 1s-1s. : Al sos another lighter shock was ex- perienced. followed by third at 5:30 o'clock.
 The first shock caused practically all the damage. Besides shaking down many chimneys and breaking crockery, the trembles caused the six teen foot statue of Minerva on the county court house grounds to drop her heavy staff, which crashed through the roof into Superior Judge Hunts court room.
 The walls of the court house were cracked in several places. but the damage is not great. The walls or the Carnegie Library building, erect ed five years ago at a cost of $25,OoO were slightly cracked.
 Reports from the Seasy ranch near Freshwater, six miles north of Eu- reka state that the earthquake caused A big fissure in the earth for half mile. A number of chimneys were thrown down in that vicinity. but otn- erwise little damage was done.
 The shocks seem to have been con- fined to a small area and the vlpra- tions were southweset to northwst.

NEW ORLEANS AROUSED.


 New Orleans, La, Aug. 1s--When the annual excursions out of New Orleans to the North, East and West left last Sunday with ten or fifteen thousand people, every public spirited citizen in the crowd was loaded down with liter ature advertising the city.
 But the city was advertised in a far different way from that which was ex- pected when one of the passengers joc- ularly informed countryman in Ten nessee, who had come down to a switch where one of the specials was stand ing, that the crowds passing by were refugees from New Orleans, where he said "the people were dying like rats from yellow fever"
 Now New Orleans has heard of the joke" for messages have been pour ing in to Mayor Behrman. the Board of Health and other city officers asking if the reports are true and offering assistance of any kind that can be rem dered.
 It was not long after the first tele~ gram was received that an official de- nial was issued. This was to the effect that neither did yellow fever nor any. thing like 1t exist in New Orleans. and there were not nor had there been at any time during the summer. even any eases of sickness which had aroused suspicion.

he'd the greatest depression on the globe. many ingenious theories have been advanced and among these the two following are interesting:
 The first hypothesis suggests that the Pacific area was formerly occupied va land mass which has subsided be- low sea level, probably by volcanic agency. The volcanic system exteholhs round the Pacific littoral of Asia and America lends considerable color to the theory and would represent the edge of the sunken plain. At this-point of fracture the subjacent molten contents of the earth have found vent and thus by dispersal have built up the coast mountain chains. IT this be true, the present island groups or the Pacific would represent the sum mits of former mountain systems.
 Whatever the cause of the isola- ton of the present archipelagoeS, evid- ences are not lacking that they have at some time been connected with other land masses. The absence of mamals of any importance. however, would suggest this period to be so remote that the severance occurred before the evolution of these creatures. The land mollusks. whose nearest afiinities must be sought in geologic fossils also point to the islands as having been isolat- ed in the remote past
 The second geological theory of the Pacific which has claimed credence is that the land mass which formerly oc- | cupied its depression was, in the age before the qualification of the globe, too far advanced, whirled off by | centrifugal force and now composes our satellite, the moon. A compari- son of the shores of West America and East Asia with other evidence suggests some truth to this remarkable theory. | for the coast lines will be seen to | bear the same relation to one another as that possessed by the indentures of | a legal document.

CHAFN IS NOTIFIED
PROHIBITION CANDIDATE FOR
 PRESIDENCY MAKES SPEECH.
He Declares That Efforts of Two Heading Parties to Make Issues Is FareicaI--Large Audience
 Preaent.

Chicago, Aug, 18-At Music Hall this evening. in the presence of 8 large and enthusiastic audience, Eugene w.. Chafin of Chicago accepted the nomi- nation for the presidency by the pro- hibition party.
 The address formally notlfying MT: Chafin of his selection as the head or the prohibition ticket was made by Professor Charles Scanlon of Pittsburg.
 Leading members of the party from Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Onlo' Indiana. Nebraska and other states were seated on the platform, as were also the national executive committee men, chairmen of the various state committees, the committee on notifi- cation and several prominent prohibi- tionists.
 Charles R. Jones, Chairman of the National Committee called the meeting to order and announced the selection of samuel Dickie. President of Albion College, Albion, Mich, as chairman or the gathering. MT. Dickie delivered brief address and then introduced MT. Scanlon. He was freely applauded as he began his notification speech and throughout his remarks was interrupt ed by evidences of approval.
 Prolonged applause greeted MT. Chafin as he accepted the nomination. It was some minutes before he was able to continue his speech. MT. Chafin in the beginning dwelt on party strife over false issues for the sake of ob- taining office.
 Continuing he said:
 If one or more political parties are to be kept in power twenty-five or fifty years, each succeeding admins tration carrying out the policy of the past and refusing to enact into law the progress attained, then such party or parties have violated the spirit of the constitution and turned over demo- cracy into despotism, making the political boss dictator. We are danger ously near that condition of things in the pending presidential campaign.
 The attempts made by the Republi- can and Democratic parties to create fictitious issue is the most farcical in our history. The question of prohibit tion of the liquor traffic has attracted wider attention of the press and the people than all other public issues com bined."
 This attack on the leading parties aroused the audience to vigorous ap- plause, repeated at intervals as Mir. Chafin continued along this line.

FIRE IN ANDALUSIA
DAMAGE BY FLAMES ESTIMATED
 AS HIGH AS e12,000.
Three Buildings Burned and Two Large Stocks of Goods Removed Into streefs--Good Work By
 Bremen.

Andalusia. Aug. Especial. )--Fire ,proke out last night nt 10:sO o'clock in the wooden store occupied as a restaurant by w. R. Jones.
 The fire was not discovered until the whole interior of the store was in flames. It caught from the kitchen In the rear of the store and was not seen from the front utnil the flames were bursting out of the roof
 The fire department responded quick ly and in a few minutes had three large hose playing on the burning structure. However. au efforts were unavailing to restrain the fire and 1t quickly spread, igniting two adojining wooden stores occupied as barber shops and a fruit stand. The three wooden stores were destroyed. but the fire was checked there and was prevented from lighting the large brick stores, occupied by r. c. Stallings and Com pany and ]. L. Atkinson and Com pany.
 These two buildings were in such danger that practically all goods were removed to safety. The moving of these goods caused much damage to the two stocks. The loss of these two firms is estimated at about $2.oo0 each, both insured
 The three wooden stores belonged to the snead estate and were valued at about $6,000. They are a total loss and the loss is covered by insu- rance.
 w. R. Jones's restaurant fs 6 conn plete loss. Its value was about $500, fully insured. Gilbert's barber shop is a total loss of about $200, partly in- sured Austin's barber shop was part iy lost. fully covered by insurance. Estimate loss $200. Philiips's fruit stand Is a total loss of about $50.
 The total loss of the fire, with dam age to the two stocks of goods be- longing to- T. c. Stallings and Com pany and J. L. Atkinson and Com- pany Is estimated at about. $ll,ooo to $12,000.
 This is the second fire of impor- tance that has visited Andalusia in the past month.
 Colonel e. R. Bricken and wife ar- rived here tonight. Colonel and Mrs. Bricken will be guests of Mrs Anna W. Riley while here.

Oulnhan Leads Taft to Believe He is
 POpuIar Here.

Popular Here.
 Hot Springs, Va. Aug ls.-Through the visit here to-day of R. V. Oula- han. director of the literary bureau of the Republican national committee. Mir. Taft was enabled to learn first hand of the results of the recent conference at Chicago, which marked the opening of the Western branch of the committee headquarters.
 Members of the committee from the west and south participated in this conference and their representa- ttons of political conditions was giv- en to Mir. Taft as decidedly encourag- Ing.
 Mir. oulahan indicated that there was a real element of surprise in the optimism of Southern members of the committee. This was based. he said, on what was regarded as reliable in- formation to the effect that MT. Taft's personality was a decided and increas- ing element of strength to the ticket In the South. Mir Oulahan also said there seemed to be an outspoken sentiment in the South that the pros perity of that section depended on the perpetuation of present governmental policies. The situation. particularly in sveral of the Western States he told MT. Taft was seemingly changing for the better from the Republican viewpoint.
 Finding it impossible to attend the sherman notification ceremonies to- day MT. Taft contented himself with addressing an open letter to his col league on the ticket.
 Col. Thomas W. Built of Louisville. Ky. introduced to MT. Taft to-day six Southern Democratic business men, none of fhom, he said, would vote their party ticket this year.

Chance For Common Sense.


 When New York police surgeon were asked why they had rejected as an ap- pIIcation for place on the force M. w, Sheppard. who won the 1.50O-meter race at the Olympic games in London, they replied with a wealth of technical terms which being traRslated signified that he was suffering with a slight hardening of the muscels of the heart. It was admitted that a man strong enough to defeat 100 of the worlds best athletes should possess sufficient vitality to pa trol a beat at a leisurely pace, try doors and windows. order loafers to move on" and perform the other ar- duous duties of metropolitan policeman At the same time the surgeons mention ed the impossibility of adjusting hard and fast rules to it individual and ex- ceptional cases. The order under which
