DISAGREEING COIiTlISSIONER8.
It is expected that when the Civil Service
commissioners make their report concerning
the management of the Cmoago custom
honse a deoided and very interesting differ
ence of opinion will be revealed.
Commissioner Lyman, the Republican
member' of the board, believes that there
should be soma rules in regard to removal
from office, as in the Chicago case there have
been removals made merely for political rea
sons. Commissioner Edgerton, it is under
stood, will undertake to justify what has
been done at Chicago. He will hold that a
government employe always continues on
'probation." When a man or woman re
ceives an appointment under the govern
ment they cease to be wards of the com mis
sion, and their relative merit has thereafter
to be decided by the power that selected
them from the certification of the commis
sion. Service under the government is a
continual struggle for advancement, and
should be so, for the instant that mau or
woman ceases to advance, that instant, to
use the language of the report, they "begin
to rot." The continued holding of an office,
says the commissioner, should depend upon
the merits of the incumbent. There should
be no tenure of office. As soon as an em
ploye becomes useless or inefficient the ap
pointing power should not be restrained from
removing him at once, and without question
as to his reasons for so doing. It would be
manifestly ridiculous to subject the appoint
ing power to a long list of questions before
he could remove an insubordinate or ineffi
cient employe. The appointing power is
responsible for the efficiency of the working
force. It must be admitted that changes are
frequently necessary to improve the working
force, and that no one is better qualified to
judge of the changes needed than he who
supervises the work, and is therefore cogni
zant of the amount and character of the ser
vice rendered by each employe. Take away
the right of removal from the appointing
officer and the subordinate becomes greater
than the superior. The officials to whom is
assigned the making of appointments have
but a limited term of office, while the subor
dinate would go on forever holding office, no
matter how inefficient, so he behaved him
self. And so forth and so on.
This is all very plausible, and will suit the
Democratic bosses well enough. Of course
a Democratic administration cannot prosper
unless Bepnblican officials can be removed
without difficulty.
EDITORS A 1. ROTES.
So the books of Ives & Co. are "lost."
And it is not probable that they will be
found.
The humidity ean be seen as well as felt in
these days. The farmers in this region could
get along without rain for a while now.
The Boston burglars who stole a lot of
stylographic pens have evidently never had
any experience with writing with such pens.
The Socialists are heartily "down on'
George and his followers. Socialist Shcertch
truthfully remarks that George's endeavor to
capture the farmer vete with his land-tax
theory "is about asensible as going out to
fish for trout with a lively young tiger for
bait."
Occasionally a Democratic paper is found
which is not afraid to speak the truth about
the "reorganization" of the postal service.
The Jacksonville (Florida) Times -Union says
that the trouble "is that inexperienced, un
trained and incompetent postal bummers
have in too many instances been substituted
for the trained men in the service, on parti
san and political grounds. "
In the liquor dealers' convention which is
to be held in Brooklyn this week a point will
be made in favor of "Sunday hours," that
is to say, for permission to sell during cer
tain hours on Sunday, as is done in England
and other countries where excise laws are
enforced. The convention will approve for
presentation to the legislature a complete bill
designed to operate uniformly throughout
the State and to replace all existing laws.
The nihilists of Russia have been rather
quiet lately, or, at least, little has been heard
about their operatiops. But a prominent St.
Petersburg police official declares his belief
that the revolutionary movement is so far
from dead that it is making alarming prog
ress among the students and ecclesiastics.
Color is given to this opinion by the fact that
the minister of the interior has ordered the
closing of several universities, academies and
many other schools, while those schools
which are suffered to remain open are sub
jected to even oloser police supervision than
ever.
Experiments which have been very suc
cessful have been made in the use of electric
ity as a motor on one of the street railroads
of Boston. The sterage battery used weighs
about one ton, and it is possible to apply
quite 60 per cent, of the power with which
it is charged. The electrician under whose
charge the experiments are conducted has
devised a method whereby it is possible to
apply the motive power at will to both sets
of wheels, and this way greatly increases the
friction necessary to obtain motion under spe
cially difficult conditions, such, for example,
as ascending Steep hill or forcing the car
over a snow encumbered traok.
The season for "stories" is on. It is re
lated that Henry Simpson of Henderson,
Kentucky, was in the habit of using dyna
mite for the purpose of blowing old tree
stumps, out of the ground. The other day
he carelessly left the dangerous compound
lying by the side of a stump. The dyna
mite was mixed with sawdust and gave an
exceptionally pleasant odor, which attracted
the attention of two of Simpson's hogs. They
finished their inspection of the stuff by eat
ing it, and then one of them, probably to aid
and accelerate digestion, began rubbing its side
against a post at the entrance to a mule's
stall. The mule remained passive for only a
few moments and then, as mules will do,
gave the hog a tremendous kick in the side.
A terrific explosion followed, and when the
smoke and dust cleared away the hog was
only found in detachments, while an enor
mous hole marked the spot where it had
stood. The mule, of course, escaped. The
other hog escaped and is now at large.
The Worcester Spy tells the Rev. Dr. Miner
some plain truth, as follows: It must be a
great satisfaction to the Rev. Dr. Miner to
find that his letter in answer to the address
of the anti-saloon Republicans is so much
praised by the organs of the dram shops and
by almost all the newspapers which distinct
ly disapprove legal prohibition. They are
all delighted with the good doctor's letter,
and applaud especially his hostility to the
Republican party, which they dislike almost
as much as he does. If Dr. Miner is pleased
with the company in which he finds himself
and proud of his allies and associates, he is
fortunate, for it is not always that political
associates are personally agreeable. As to
the party of the other part with whom Dr.
Miner is in high favor just now for the ser
vice he has undertaken against the common
enemy, the Republican party, it is not sup
posed that they are very fond of him person
ally or would be entirely comfortable in his
society, but they are not a bit afraid of him
or of his political party. The enemy which
they fear is the Republican party, through
which all the damage to their interests by
political means has oome.

Councilman Pat McGurvey of the Eighth
ward is a queer 'on. After the last meeting
of council Pat was in a very bad humor on
account of the failure of his resolution to
compel Contractor Hussey to remove the
boulder-crusher from the public landing. The
moment the meeting adjourned Pat grabbed
his hat and started on a dead run down stairs.
The first person he met was President Smith
of the B. P. A. "Look here, Smith," said
Pat, "the people of the Eighth ward sent all
the way to Ireland after me to make me a
councilman, and if that crusher ain't removed
by the time of our next meeting I will resign
and go? back to Ireland, and if I do I will
cause the greatest riot you ever heard of in
the Eighth ward, and your board will be re
sponsible for it." Cincinnati Inquirer.

NEW YORK WOMBS.
Ladles Who Spend from $5,000 to $35,
OOO Yearly on Their Clothes.
(Special Correspondence cf tb.9 Press.
"Mrs. Coleman Drayton is the best
dressed woman in New York," said a lady to
her companion, as they sipped their after
dinner coffee in a famous restaurant in Cen
tral Park the other day.
And so she is. Everybody in the so
cial world admits that Mrs. Drayton dresses
more expensively and with better taste than
any other woman in Gotham. She was "one
of the Astor girls." She is beautiful, accom
plished, and is worth $5,000,000 now. Some
of these days, when the Astor estate is div
ided up, she will have ten times as much
more. Her diamonds and jewelry are of
the best. She spends from $0,000 to $35,
000 yearly for her clothing.
"Do you Know how much it costs the
average fashionable woman of New York for
dress each year?" asked the lady quoted
above. "No." "Well, let me tell you
that there are a thousand at least in this
city who spend $5,000, or $100 a week,
and there are several score who spend from
$10,000 to $25,000 and some few spend $35,
000." Mrs. Elbridge T. Gerry is a woman who
never dresses flashily, and yet is known for
the great good taste displayed in the selec
tion of her costumes, for which she must
annually pay thousands. The Vanderbilts
before they were in mourning were extreme
ly fashionably dressed, and even now, though
wearing black, their costumes are marked
with the stamp of elegant splendor which
has always characterized their wearing ap
parel. Mrs. August Belmont, sr., and her
daughter-in-law dress very elaborately. The
former is the wife of the agent of the Roths
childs in this city. Mrs. Belmont's gowns
and jewels are the envy of all her friends.
Another woman who spends large sums on
her costumes is Mrs. Henry Clews, wife of
the banker. She is worth enough money
to enable her to buy herself a new dress
every day in the year if she so desires.
Mis. Pierre Lorillard's dresses are described
as poems. The beautiful widow Hammers
ley spends a fortune in dresses every
twelve months. So does Mrs. Hicks-Lord.
Mrs. Robert Hoe, wife of the famous press
maker, buys a good many dresses abroad.
She has one for every day in the year.
Miss Adele Grant, who was engaged to be
married to Earl Garmoyle, is one of the
best costumed of the younger members of
society here. Mrs. C. E. Dodge, one of
the most charming women in New York
society, always dresses in exquisite good
taste. Mrs. Delancy Kane's costumes, too,
are most becoming to that lady. And so
we talked on. A score of others could be
mentioned, but as they are all in the $10,000
a year list it goes without saying that they
are properly appareled.
The person who makes most of the
dresses for New York ladies is a man
tailor from London. A good many cos
tumes come from abroad, but the bulk of
the clothing for New York women is made
here. . - -

"What Bort of an outfit would von re
commend for a lady going to Newport or
Saratoga or Lenox for August, and Sep
tember!". I asked him.
"She would want to take with her at least
two walking-gowns. If she is going to Sara
toga or Newport more. Some ladies who go
, to those ultra-fashionable resorts carry fif
teen or twenty walking-gowns and change
three or four times a day. But for a lady of
ordinary desires two would ba sufficient.
"One of these should be made of some
pretty light English check, with plain habit
bodice fitting tightly to the gown, with a
neatly draped skirt having box plaits at the
side. The other she would have in a lighter
make of texture something like a bunting,
for instance, made especially for the heated
term in America. The gowns are made
much lighter in this country than in England
on account of the extreme heat, which is
never experienced there. With these two
gowns go appropriate wraps or coats. With
the first a double-breasted', tight-fitting coat
would be made of a color to harmonize with
the dress, and for the bunting a shoulder
cape of the same material. These costumes
would cost anywhere from eighty dollars to
one hundred and seventy dollars each, ac
cording to the material and trimming. Great
attention is paid to tne most minute details,
and they must be finished very beautifully
to please New York ladies.
"The Amerioan woman is much more par
ticular regarding her costume than her for
eign sisters. An English woman would use
farmer satin for a foundation of her dress.
An American is not satisfied unless her gown
is made on silk. All her dresses must be
lined throughout with silk. These details
are in reality what make the costume so ex
pensive. She must have a hat to accompany
each of these gowns. They should embody
in general appearance the characteristic of
the costume, and may be trimmed with rib
bon, velvet, flowers or feathers. They are
worn this season very high, and cost from
ten to fifteen dollars. Each costume is fin
ished with a handsome parasol, which must
be of a solid, pronounced color, without any
lace or other trimming. The handle may be
of either silver or natural .wood, but the
latest fancy is to have a hairy hoof of a goat
or chamois. In addition she would need a
cream-colored gown for promenading or
boating, made of one of the lighter makes' of
Isle of Wight serges. In some cases this
would be trimmed with a little color such as
light blue, the bodice cut to fit closely into
the figure! The skirt is also close fitting,
with box plaits at one side. Some ladies
would fancy the front braided, in which case
a pretty pattern is worked by hand on the
front panel. The braid would probably be
in a shade of gray and might have a little
tinsel mixed with it. This dress would cost
from seventy-five to one hundred and fifty
dollars, according to the hand braiding em
ployed. With this costume would go a cleth
toque or hat made or some harmonizing
shade of material, or perhaps a straw sailor
trimmed to correspond and costing about
ten dollars.
"Speaking of tennis, American ladies do
not enter into the spirit of the game as the
English do. it is impossible to secure that
ease of motion necessary to the game, grace
fully as well as easily, if the player is too
tightly laced. She, to play well, must rid
herself entirely of all stays and corsets and
allow her body free action. For this pur
pose the last mentioned dress is the best
adapted."

From the Chicago Tribune.
In central Dakota, on the "Missouri bot
toms," there exists one of nature's strangest
freaks. The settlers term it the "pump
snake." How it came there aud whence it
came from is yet unknown. It first made its
appearance in Emmons county in the spring
of 1881. A full-grown pump snake meas
ures about sixteen feet in length and about
three inches in diameter. They are of gre
garious habits, roaming the prairies in large
herds, as many as three hundred having been
counted in a single flock. In dissecting one
of these reptiles there is found a tube which
extends from the roof of the jaw to the ex
tremity of the tail and terminating in an
opening. This tube is about two inches in
diameter and lined with a tough, yielding
substance similar to rubber. Tne pump
snake is easily trained to answer the call of
man. The inhabitants of this section trap
them in large numbers. -
A farmer on (jat rail creeK nas a hock oi
twenty pump-snakes trained to a remarkable
degree of proficiency. At the blast of a
whistle the snakes assemble on the banks of
the creek. The leader (there is always a
leader to a herd of these snakes, who is
elected by a two-thirds majority) dashes into
the water of the creek, leaving only the ex
tremity of its tail on the bank. Another
snake immediately grasps the end of the
leader's tail in his jaws, a third takes hold of
the second snake's tail in a similar manner
and so on, extending to the water troughs in
the cattle yards three hundred feet away.
The leading snake begins to swallow or pump
the water of the creek, which passes through
the long line of snakes as it would through a
hose, and falls in a heavy stream into the
trough.
The agriculturist told of an extraordinary
circumstance which occurred a short time
ago. While working in the field near his
home he observed flames issuing from the
roof of his barn. Wild with excitement he
hurried to the burning building, only to see
that it was a hopeless task for himself alone
to attempt to extinguish the flames. In de
spair he gazed on the work of destruction;
suddenly he heard a loud rustling in the tall
grass, whence issued his herd of pump
snakes on the run. The leader hurled him
self into the creek, the rest instantly adjust
ing themselves, heads and tails, from the
creek to the burning building. The last
snake, standing on ita head, waved its long
and flexible body, from the tail of which is
sued a stream of water that was thrown with
terrific force on the burning building. Back
and forth dashed the tail end of the living
hose, squirting the water where it would do
the most good, while the loud pumping of
the leader could be heard above the roar of
the conflagration. Within fifteen minutes
the last spark was out. Then and not nntil
then did the pump-snakes quit work. They
were completely exhausted, the leader having
fainted dead away. The main part of the
building and its contents were saved, thanks
to the presence of mind of these wonderful
snakes.
The territorial government is becoming
awakened to the extreme usefulness of these
interesting creatures, aud laws are to be en
acted to protect the pump-snake.
The Newport Girl A-Drlvlng.
From the Boston Herald. J
Bellevue avenue in the morning is quite
another place from Bellevue avenue in the
afternoon. In the early hours of the day it
abounds with pretty girls; they are pretty in
their fresh morning costumes, flitting here
and there, buying the little odds and ends of
which woman is in perpetual need. What
do these "buds" want? I asked the other
day. "They drive up and down in their or
nate carts, looking like peripatetic butter
flies; they pause for an instant here, they
flutter out there, they light in shop door
and reappear in a second, get in their ve
hicles, the tiger jumps on behind and off
they go, heaven knows where." "It is a
part of the day's parade," was the reply to
my question. A few hours later these
same divine youngsters will be driving
again through the avenue like circus riders,
attired in even more bewildering toilets
than those of the morning. The Newport
girl wears a brilliant carmine gown of some
soft silken fabrio and a little cap of the
same material on her head, and she sits
bolt upright like a ramrod, with the reins
held within six inches of her sweet little
chin, and awav she goes, with a tiny,
white-breeched tiger holding on for dear
life behind the high T-oart. There must
Via something in Newport air that lends
courage to the most timid social flower. I
have yet to see a girl who is afraid to drive
a stylish turnout. Jiven tne nveyearoia
infant cries for a donkey eart, and what is
more gets it. I saw one of these infantile
turnouts yesterday, and it is no exaggera
tion to aay the white-aproned nurse proba
bly put the whole affair in her pocket
when Master Threestars grew weary of this
pastime of driving over the big avenne.
