NASHVILLE, July o. The most
important local federal Offices, the in.
cumbents ct which are not subject
to civil service rules and who are
therefore subject to removal at the
pleasure Of the administration or at
the conclusion of their respective
terms, are the Offices of postmaster,
United States marshal, internal reve.
nue. collector. district attorney and
assistant district attorney. The dem.
ocratic appc.ntees, who shall succeed
the present republican incumbents of
thse Offices, will have very little pat.
ronage at their disposal, nearly all
the subordinate positions formerly
filled by these officials at their pleas
ure being now subject to civil service
rules. s.
The incoming internal revenue col.
lector will not have single position
to fill, and the district attorney will
have but one, that of private secreta.
ry. The postmaster will have the
privilege Of appointing only four albor.
ers. The G.tice force Of the Uaited
States MARSHAL are civil service EN-.
ployes, but the incoming marshal will
have at his disposal the positions OF
eight field deputies, whose compensa
tions consist exclusively Of fees, ex.

more it is adorned with color the more

Lyons or through Austria or Italy or
Switzerland. and you will be charmed
by the beautiful harmony visible on
all sides. the subordination Of details
to general effects, the instructive feel

constant presence Of tradition and a

Hemphill had one last year in

the promise of his brother Ed,
without Eds willingness.
One day last spring he was max

him a while, then sneeringly said:

putting something over on me.
Does he suppose. l wonder, that I
can't tell when a pitcher is trying?

And 1t did. And there Walsh
will stay. Nature has endowed
few men with such natural ability
as Walsh had. He lacked a will
