He's guarding the door"
eAnd there's another man over
there, sitting by that door-what's

Hes guarding that door"
The senator noticed a third door
unguarded, SO he turned to his
constituent and shouted, pointing
his cane, "Jim, there's a door
that needs a guard. Just go and
sit here and guard hat door"
As far as we can ascertain, Jim
sill guards that door.
But for the main part, senators
are inclined to tell their colored

job seekers 'If you want a job
you get one, but l. am not inter

jobs for colored folk"
MI. Bilbo Is said'to have secured
two jobs for colored men from his
state both messenger jobs. But
higher than this-well, in the de-
partment of the interior there are
a few mail clerks and junior clerks,
who get the salaries of clerks, but
not the ratings. And the Negroes
for the most part seem eminently
satisfied with the salary and not
the rating-alhough reductions in
salaries may be affected when the
rating is not on par with the
salary.

HERE'S HOW SOME GET
THEIR JOBS IN WASHINGTON

Washington, June 22-Bits of
stray conversation sometimes
bring to light interesting stories.
For instance, the idle conversation
with a Washington stenographer,
concerning the placing Of Negroes
in the civil service. According to
this information, no resident OF
the District of Columbia, nearby
Virginia or Maryland, is given a
permanent position in the civil SER
vice; they r given temporary
or indefinite work.
Then again, some Negroes hold
ing down good positions w them
to their senators who WELD in
fluence in certain quarters. The
story is told of a man well up
in the government services as to
how he first got his job.
Going to his senator, who hap
pened to be from the deep South,
the young man who had finished
law school solicited his aid. That
worthy went over to the depart
ment where the young mar sought
an appointment, looked around,
and said to the chief of the per-
sonnet department, "1n my section
of the country rs don't hold
this kind of job, but since you got
rs holding them down here,
you appoint my III to n
He got the job and has held 1t
continuously for a number OF
years.
Another instance provides a
laugh. Senator So-and-So took his
colored constituent over to a de-
partment to land him a job. 1t
seems as if the man had been
shunted back and forth, being told
on each occasion of his visit to
the deparement that here were
no openings. SO the irate senator
accompanied him on one trip.
Going to the office of the di-
rector of personnel, inquiry ELECTED

Finally reaching New York, the
former sharecropper got work as
janitor on st. Nicholas Ave,
where according to the tenants, he
gave excellent service until the

this year. His wife and five of his

Governor Lehman, after hear

Fewer Hoppers Predicted
For Corn Belt in 1889

WASHINGTON.-The agriculture
department predicts that grasshop-
per infestations in states west Of
the Mississippi will be less severe
next summer than in the last grow
ing season.
A survey by the bureau of
entomology and plant quarantine
showed that grasshopper eggs in
Wisconsin, Iowa. Missouri, Kansas
and Oklahoma are from one-third to
two-thirds fewer than at this time
last year.
In southern states, however, con-
ditions have been such as to offer
potential infestation which may
rival that of the last years." the
bureau said. Although from 70 to
80 per cent of the adults Of a par
ticular migratory species were poi
soned last year, weather conditions
have been favorable for laying eggs.
About &c. tons cf poison bait will
be needed to control the pest in

handles of Texas and Oklahoma and

was given in marriage by her step
father, Mr. Henry B. Patton, wore
a chiffon gown of exquisite dainti-
ness, in a soft old ivory tone, and
made with short puffed sleeves and
a heart-shaped neckline. A wide
basque of appliqued old family
lace, from which the long train ex-
tended, formed striking note in
the picture Her veil of old ivory
toned illusion was arranged with a
coronet of old rose point lace that
continued over the back of the
head and below the shoulders,
where it joined the train. Her criy
ornament was a pearl necklace,
which had been worn by her moth
er at her wedding and she carried
shower bouquet of gadrenias and
lilies-of- f-the-valley. Mrs. William
B. Hart, sister-in-law of the bride,
acted as matrOn of honor. Her

combined a finely tucked bodice
with an extremely wide skirt, the
latter edged about the hem with a
wide frill that formed slight
train. Her hat of natural straw
was trimmed with blue to match
her gown and she carried Spring
flowers in blending tones. The

the baskets in consequence of the
constantly decreasing demand are
only bringing four cents apiece
against six cents last year, and the
manufacturers say they cannot af-
ford to pay more at the low price
of the baskets. Some of the mills
that started up briskly a month
