Advertisers are cordially invited
to visit om press und mailing rooms
nt all times and verify the above
statement.
Itis doing pretty well to have one good
idea in each advertisement. The almanac
tells us that there are 305 days in the
year, and the most scientific, advertiser
issues Ills store news almost every morning
or evening. There is probably no dan
ger, then, tiiat lie will not have plenty of
chunce during the twelvemonth to exploit
Ills good suggestions not nil of them, of
cour.se, because his advertising is going to
continue year after year, but many oC
them. Let the announcements, then, be
as fine and strong as possible. Have them
convincing, And one thought is usually
enough at a time, especially If it is a
good one.

CIVIL SMiVICIS POSITIONS.
Official Declaration its to AH
of
Them to He I.ssnel.
CoiiKldiiruhlc uncertainty as to the status
of positions la the civil jervice still ex
ists, eveiuimjiiKpersonsln office. Whether
a given pluce is under civil service rules
or lielonps to the excepted list is often a
very nice question. Even the men who
ordinarily detenaine such a matter some
times disagree, and then it is necessary to
refer the matter to some law officer,
usually the Attorney General. There ire
a number of decisions from lilm on ques
tions of this kind.
One, for instance, Is In regard to em
ployes In the Bopartmoiit of Justice. It
settles the poMtion or deputies under the
United States marshal for this District. IC
holds that the office deputies are under the
rules, while field deputies are excepted.
Asaln, among the assistants to the At
torney General, those who appear In court
are excepted, while, those who do not arc
protected by the rule requiring a com
petitive examination, to precede the ap
pointment in order to determine the fit
ness of applicants.
The reason for the uncertainty lies in
the rapidity with which the rules were
extended last summer by President Cleve
land. The list of appointments was so
changed that some 6ort of revision he
came necessary. The newspapers have
published statements as to what positions
arc open to candidates without examina
tion, but these have all had some errors,
Including positive statements aoout posi
tions not passed upon. To furnish correct
and full information the Civil Service Com
mission is now preparing a, publication
Avhich will give the exact status of every
place in the service up to date.
This book is now in the - press, and
will be out the latter part of this week.
It will enable Congressmen to tell Just
what places are open and who are now
filling them. It Is prepared iu answer to
a resolution -Congrc8s.

Mrs. Bcrtlin Hueb.su m Sues to He
cover $4,500.
The rather unusual experience of a wife
bringing suit for an accounting against
her husband was brought to light yester
day, in a bill riled in equity by Mrs.
Bertha RueLsamv Her husband, the de
fendant, Is John E. Ituehsani of No. C25
F street. The name of Melltta, Benkert,
as "her next friend,". Is found in the
caption of the bill, though the name is
not mentioned in the body or the puper.
The Kuclsams were married July 1,
1890, iu Philadelphia. Mrs. Ruebsam
had been a music teacher and was pos
sessed or considerable means. She loaned
her husband $-t,50ii November 1, 1890,
she buys. He gave, his promissory note
with interest payable hfini-annually. After
two years, the wifcxsiys, her nusbaml
ceased to pay the interest regularly and
from November 1,-1892, had not paid
more than $527' She did not ask him
ror the principal while the interest wits
being paid.
Mrs. Ituebsam asserts that her hr.t-bnnd
now answers her demands for money with
contempt and harsh treatment. The loan
she made to him exhausted her resources,
and she has again sought employment as
a music teacher. On several occasions
her husband has struck her, she says,
when she asked him for money. As the
money came from her separate estate,
Mrs. Ituebsain says she has a right to it.
Mr. Ituebsam is possessed of considerable
real estate, and she asks to 'recover on
this.

HOMLS FOH THE POOR.
Special Committee lluving This Mat
ter In Charge Discusses Plans.
The special committee, representing the
Associated Charities. Central .Relief Com
mittee, and the Board of Trade, or which
Gen. Sternberg is chairman, met yesterday
afternoon in the office of the chairman, in
the State, War, and Navy Building. The
committee is charged with the investigar
tlon of the sanitary conditions of the
dwellings of the poor of Washington, with
a view to deising plans for the better
housing of this class of residents, es
pecially in alleys and narrow streets. The
members or the committee have made a.
personal inspection or the condition ot
the people in these localities, and are
thoroughly acquainted with the situation.
Several plans were discussed at the
meeting yesterday, but as nothing definite
was decided on, no report was given out.
Gen. Sternberg said it was probable the
committee would hold several sessions
before a full report would be made. The
conclusions arrived at so Tar, however,
will be submitted to the meeting of the
Central Relief Committee tomorrow after
noon. TIirXK IT IS A FAKE.
Dotectlves Don't Ilelieve George
n. Young "Was Assaulted.
The detectives who have been assigned
to work on the case of George H. Young,
the Virginia merchant, who claims to
have been sandbagged and robbed in the
Capitol Park on Monday night, arc in
clined to doubt the correctness of his
6tory.
When examined by a physician it was
found that Mr. Young had been burned
slightly over the lert eye wjth acid and
had a small lump on his head. There
are circumstances connected with the case
which have c.used the police to regard
It as a "rake."
