A Yorkshire farmer was asked to
the funeral of a neighbor's third
wife, and as he had attended the
funerals of the two others, his own
wife was rather surprised when he
declined. He gave his reason with
some hesitation:

THE RIDE OF PAULINE REVERE
1t Differed From Her Ancestors and
Alarmed Her Guardian.

This is the story of the midnight
ride of Miss Revere. 1t was Pauline
instead of Paul-his great-grand-
daughter from Dana Hall, who caused
the alarms in several Middlesex val
leys and farms.
Pauline, the great-granddaughter
of Paul, had left Pine Manor, post
graduate school of Dana Hall school,
to spend the holidays at the home OF
her guardian, Mrs. Nathaniel Thayer,
of Lancaster.
Well, it seems that hours went by
and Pauline didn't appear. Mrs,
Thayer usurped part of the Paul Re-
we're programme and started spread
ing the alarm herself.
Meanwhile, Pauline was attending
scrupulously to the rest of her an,
cestral duties. She was having the
ride.
Miss Revere took a couple of hel
classmates along with her to Charles
town and the historic spot whence
her celebrated great-grandfather, the
original designer of New England's
most famous tourist toured ride
started out.
There she and her friends pileG
into the fur robes of a specially
chartered sleigh and set out to dc
Paul Revere's ride de luxe as il
should be done.
1t was a great ride the girls had
while the telephone company, severa,
telegraph operators and two railroads
were joining forces with Mrs. Thayel
and the Dana Hall school authorities
in frantic search. The alarm end
ed only when Pauline drove into Ian.

TWO KILLED, ANOTHER HURT.
M;sses Nell Cue and Pearl Hutto
naad as Result of Norway Collision.

Columbia. March 1.-Two young
women we're killed, third oaolE III
iured. and young man paln1ullS
bnrt early last night, when the car
in which they were riding two miles
sonth of Norway, in Orangeours
conntv. was demolished by south
bound train No. 81. The dead are:
Miss Nell Cue and Miss Pearl Hutto'
both IS years old. Miss Frances Sal
lev had her right leg broken. b. l..
Garrick, a young man driving the car
was least hurt, one hip being badly
bruised. Miss Cue was killed IN
stantly. The head was severed from
the body, which was mangled. MISS
Hutto died aboard train on when
she was being brought to Columola
for medical attention. Her chest was
crushed, and there were other IN
juries.
Warning Misinterpreted.
The Young people, all residents OF
the Norway community, were out 1or
a Saturday afternoon ride and drove
TO Willow Swamp church to meet
ing. The road by which they we're
returning to Norway intersects the
seaboard at Greco or Williams cross
ing A negro approaching the rail-
road from the opposite direction is
said to have begun to wave a warn
ing. Mistaking this for signal TO
sbut off the motor, that the amman
the negro was driving might not be
frightened, Mr.. Garrick brought the
automobile to a stop very near the
railroad bed. AS steep decllVlty
leads to the track, the car slid direct
" in front of the train, which could
not be seen until it bore directly
down upon the automobile.
Robert Cue, brother of one OF the
dead girls, is a member of Company
NJ. Second South Carolina Infantry.
His regiment entrained in El Paso'
Texas, yesterday for the return trip
to South Carolina for demobilization.
Immediately after the occurrence OF
the tragedy, Gov. Manning made ef-
forts to get in touch with the troop
train that Mr.. Cue might be trans
ferred by faster schedules to South
Carolina. Miss Hutto was student
at the Woman's College of Green
vile, and was home for a brief vaca-
ton.
Miss Hutto Dies on Train.
Seaboard Air Line train No. ~,
local for Savannah, left Columbia at
400 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, ar
irving in Norway at sos. The &C
cident occurred about $50 o'clock.
Miss Hutto and Miss Salley were
placed on train No. % which left
Norway at $3.50 o'clock last night for
Columbia. Miss Hutto died before
the train reached Columbia. The
body was taken back to Norway on
the midnight train.
Miss Hutto is survived by her
father, V. S. Hutto, and two sisters,
Mrs. J. J. Smith, Jr., and Mrs. Leon
Meetze, both of Norway. Miss Cue
is survived by her mother, Mrs. Mar
ian Cue, and two brothers; Robert,
who is a member of company NJ, Sec
ond South Carolina regiment, and
Leon Cue, who lives in Virginia. B.
T. Garrick, the driver of the car, has
brother, E. T. Garrick, who resides
in Columbia, being an employee of
the Southern Express company. Miss
Salley is the daughter of B. o. Sal
ley, NJ. D., of Norway. Both the
father and the mother came to Co.
lumbia with the patient last night, as
did relatives of the late Miss Hutto.

Another member suggested that
the order would put many Republi-
cans in office, as many of the more
active assistant postmasters are Re-
publicans retained by the Democratic
postmasters, and still another want
ed to know what would happen if the
one man certified from the examlna-
ton were negro. The postmaster
general, according to those present,
replied that the examinations would
have to take place and there would
be mo special privilege to anyone
A Western Democrat asked why
the order, if issued at all, should not
provide for certifying the three high
est in the examination as eligible to
postmasterships, as was done when
the fourth class postmasters were
blanketed into civil service, instead of
confning the choice to the one per-
son who happened to stand the high
est. The postmaster general said
that congress had had the opportuni-
ty of legislating to that effect, but
did not do so.
In the discomfort voiced by mem
bers after the conference some of
them complained that the order
would take out of political life some
of the most active supporters of the
representatives in congress.
A majority of the Republicans
joined with Democrats recently in re-
jecting a proposition for putting all
postmasters under the civil service
when an amendment to that effect
was offered to an appropriation bill
in the house, although Republican
Leader Mann and a few others favor.

TO BE MADE CIVIL SERVICE.
April 1 Postmasters' Appointments
Will BE by Competition.


General Burleson announced today
that after April l the appointment
of all postmasters of the first, second
and third class would be subject to
competitive examinations. Nomina-
tions will be sent to the senate as in
the past, but in making the selections
the president will be guided by the
results of examinations and will send
in the names at the head of the lists.
Whether the civil service commits
sion under which fourth class post
masters are chosen will conduct the
examinations has not been determin-
ed.
The presidents Forthcoming order
will provide for form of modified
civil service classification under
which all vacancies, whether caused
by resignation, removal or death,
will be filled by competitive examina-
ton. Those already in the service
will continue without examination
until the expiration of four years
terms beginning with their last ap-
pointment and then will, it is under
stood, have to undergo the competi-
tive test.

the announcement at the Capitol,
where scores of members were in
their Offices preparing to lea, for
home. The order was roundly de-
nounced by some of the Democratic
leaders and several members con-
strued it as a move to get combined
Democratic and Republican support
in a politically uncertain house.
Representative Rainey, of Illinois;
Carter, Oklahoma; Harris, Mississip-
pi; Wilson and Aswell, Louisiana;
Vinson, Georgia; Carlin and Glass,
Virginia; Dixon, Indiana; Rouse,
Johnson, Kincheloe and Sherley, Ken
lucky; Decker, Missouri; Gray, Ala
bama, and Sims, of Tennessee, were
in a group of Democrats who called
on the postmaster general today and
who were told about the plan. Dem
ocratic; Leader Kitchin, of the house,
delayed his departure for North Caro-
lima to go to the postoffice depart
ment to register his protest.
Most of the congressman who saw
Mr.. Burleson went on the latter's in
vitation to discuss the new plan for
systematizing postal accounting by
esta blishing central auditing post
Offices in county or district groups.
This subject was overshadowed, how
ever, when the news of the civil SER
vice order was broken.
One Southern member asked if the
postmaster general had called them
there to ask their views or to tell
them what had been done.
What Is Going to Happen.
Il am telling you what is going to
happen" he replied.
The postmaster general is quoted
as having told them that it was too
late to protest, as the order had been
determined upon, and would be car
ried out. He intimated that he was
not the author of it, but that it was
a measure of efficiency and economy.
Another member suggested that
