NOW FOR AN INVESTIGATION.

Impetus to the reform plans of the
President and hts advisers has been given
this week by tho adoption by the Sena te
OF resolution of Senator Borah OF
Idaho empowering the committee on civil
service and retrenchment. Of which Mr.
Cummins Of Iowa is chairman. to make
q thorough investigation into conditions
n the civil service, with view 70 lcgis-
lHton. The committee Is given fun pow
% send for persons and papers and is not
r'stricted az to the period IN which II
shall report. Tentative suggestion IS
nade Of a plan Of limited tenure o. office.
whereby younger men and women ran be
kept In the service all the time. This
method, which used to be urged by Sere-
tarv Shaw, also would avoid the neces-
sity of civil pension roll Theodore
Roosevelt was an ardent friend of the
civil service and resented any attempt OF
Congress TO interfere with the present
system, hut now that he IS out Of the
way, for "A time at least, the statesmen
appear curious.
one of the greatest defects Of the pres
ent system is the requirement Of tie law
making 1t mandatory for the civil service
commission to accept the certificates of
residence sent 70 them by city. town and
county clerks. Advantage has been
taken Of the laXity Of the law by many
persons to palm themselves off as bona
fide residents Of States which they never
saw. The commissioners are aware of
the deception. but are unable to go back
OF the local returns.

WHEN MEN WORE BEARDs.
During Civil War None of the Great
 Generals Shaved.

From the Boston Globe.
 In the art gallery of the Boston Public Library there Is an interesting exhibi-
 tion of portraits of the leading men who took part in the civil war on both sides, or who were prominent in public affairs
 during that memorable struggle. And
 probably the first thing that will impress the visitor on looking around on these splendid photographs which the library
 possesses Is the fact that nearly all the
 great men of that day wore boards from Lincoln and Grant and Jefferson
 Davis and Lee, all the way down on both
 sides. These are the bearded men of a
 bearded age all except Farragut, Gov.
 John A. Andrew, Gen. enjamin F. But
 Ter and a few others. General Butler wore a mustaehe.
 And what enormous boards some of the
 generals wore No Berserker chief looked any fercer than Gen. James Longstreet or Che. Edward Pickett, and no Highland chief looked more dignitied in his long beard than did Gen. Stonewall Jackson or Admiral D. H. Porter.
 Gen. Robert E. Lee wore rather short beard, and it certainly became his face General Grant also wore his beard rather short and stubby. He clearly did not care for his beard in the same way that Lee did for his. In some of the early bearded pictures of Grant he looks like a frontiersman of the period-a little un- kept, with hard, stern face. General Sheridan wore a rather long beard at one time, and there is one picture of General Sherman here in which his beard is long, thick and black. very unlike the closely cropped beard he wore in later life.
 The pictures of General Hancock by which he is most familiar show him with fine mustache and goatee; but here in this collection Is one in which he is shown
 with a not too elegant or dignifled beard
 General Custer is also best known without a beard. but there Is an excellent portrait of him in this collection bearded.
 A portrait of General Banks shows him bearded, whereas the usual pictures show him with goatee and mustache. A DOT trait of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler looks rather unusual with the long hair and long, dropping mustache. The portrait of General Garfield shows him In much the same style of beard he wore in later life.
 The type of men who were prominent in these days has surely disappeared, but 1t is probable that the general lack of beard today on the faces of prominent men has much to with this apparent difference. Nearly all these men look rougher. as if they had been used to more physical struggles with life. There is a sort of type running through the faces which has surely disappeared. The col lection is interesting and of value as showing the type of bearded men who fought in '61.

would break up dozen men like me in no time.
 'iCome, now" he continued, whats go- ing to be done? If you keep this up I'll be ruined financially in week. I am not a millionaire and have worked hard to es- tablish this little business ;r and there Is no use of your going on with this thing, because I can't stand it."
 But your bondsmen; they are all right, are they not? Perhaps they will see the necessity of backing you up in this en- terprise," suggested the grafter.
 No; I'll never ask them to do that" the laundryman replied; and you might as well let up right away"
 ''Of course you understand, MT. -,'' the grafter said to the laundryman, that this contract Is worth a lot of money to me-" and in order to prove it he showed him in plain figures just how much it was worth.
 In doing so he explained that tine pre- mium company allowed him a commits sion of 15 per cent, or 30 cents for each , clock that the laundryman ordered.
 The grafter paid his canvassers 20 cents each for all contracts secured leaving him a profit of 90 cents on each contract, which, together with 30 cents more on each clock, made him profit of 60 cents on every contract taken, and 800 day meant to him a clear profit of $500, or $500 per week, as the canvassers paid their own board and all other expenses, except railroad fare.
 This was a revelation to th6 laundry man, who by this time began to see the sort of game he was up against. He in- stantly pleaded for a settlement
 How much are you willing to give to be released? asked the grafter.
 Just you tell me the least you will take and let me out of this muss," replied the victim.
 Well" said the grafter. 'you can fig- ure if 1t takes about three months to fin- ish this city that will mean about 13 weeks of six working days each, which means IS days, and if my profits are $500 per day. you can see that my net person. al gain for that length of time will amount to $23,400 cash.'
 By this time the grafter had his victim walking the floor and only too anxious

He feeth also as a shadow and continueth not, but he might as weA stay and marry her, for he will get caught anyhow and have to support her, and if he thinks he won't continue, the court will jump on to his wages.
 Man is the only animal that walks on his hind legs and eats horseradish in the spring. He sits in his office tipped back in his chair and smokes his cigar with a satisfied air; he's at home long enough to swallow his meals and he grumbles and tells how rocky he feels, or sits on the street on @ roll of barb wire and howls how the tariff Is making things higher, then fills up on flnecut and spits and looks wise, while his wife puts the screens up to guard against flies. He growls when it's fair and growls when it rains; he growls at the malls and he growls at the trains, while his good wife at home Is breaking her back with a pair of scissors and patterns and an old flour sack to make the kids garments (while he takes his ease) and fix them up warm enough so they won't freeze, with XXX roller process" so gorgeous and quaint on the bosom thereof in radiant paint. to eke out living she will do all she can, and wonder as we do, why, why, is a mani

 'I won't have time to enlarge. Be- sides. I'll be in the insane asylum before three weeks to say nothing of three months, if this keeps up," replied the poor victim.
 1T suppose you have lots of competi- tionr' suggested the grafter.
 'Yes," was the reply; i've have plenty of that"
 well, we will put all the other laun- dries out of business inside of 30 days, and then all you will have to do is to buy their plants cheap and monopolize the business!'' said the grafter.

 One of the most interesting structures at the Alaska Yukon-P Pacific exposition will be the forestry building. In mak- ing it 128 choice fir logs have been used as main columns. These pieces of fir timber are no ordinary logs. The longest, 28 of them, are each 54 feet long and all the rest are Az feet long. The average diameter at the top is six feet six inches. Each of the largest of the columns con- tains about 1000 feet of lumber. The building will be 312 feet long, 12s feet wide and 90 feet high.

the scheme at once, he placed the crook under arrest
 He afterward said that it was owing to the peculiar wording of the contract that he tumbled to the trick and when he had placed the grafter in jail and told him that he knew how the thing was done. the grafter broke down and made full confession. It is thought he has worked his game in many other localities.
