Mail orders solicited. | lets declaring that one of the first acts I of the Irish parliament will be a wliole i sale reduction of staffs In all departments, accompanied by the replacement of all wiio do not agree with the politics of those in control of the new Irish gov ernment, by persons wiio have earned public appointments by political services How absurd tills Is must be evident to any one who is fumiliar with the con ditions of public service In this country. It is the hardest thing In the world to get rid of a public official once be has been appointed. He is so thoroughly protected by the civil service laws that only the most flagrant dereliction of duty is an excuse for removing him and even j when his office lias become entirely su perfluous tiie only way in which it can be abolished is by paying to its occu pant a sum of money calculated on the j capital value of his salary for the rest j of his life. It is hardly likely then that ] an *ltish government would burden it self at the outset with such an enormous ] outlay, when the personnel of the serv ices can be reduced If necessary in a few i years by omitting to make new appoint ments as the natural wastage by death ' and retirement occurs. This process of reduction has already j begun in the case of the police, although this is one of the "reserved services" which will not he handed over to the Irish government for some years. It is recognized that the force even now is far stronger than is necessary ami that stilt fewer police will be needed when the political and agrarian discontent in. tile country disappears under a native and sympathetic administration. The HngllsU authorities, have, therefore, al most stopped recruiting for the royal Irish constabulary and the vacancies caused by death and retirement are not being filled. The utter failure of the agitation among the postofflee clerks is proved by what happened tills week at the an nual conference here of the Irish post office clerks' association, which was held in the Mansion house under tiie presi dency or B. C. Bergin of Dublin. A strong protest against the attempt to stir up political strife in. the department was made by Mr. Bergin in his presiden tial address in which he said: ■There may be some among us who from the jioint of view of their beliefs, view with favor or otherwise the transfer of the Irish postofflee to the new Irish government.. 'I think the vast majority of the service, realize their responsibili ties as public servants, and look on the transfer from a purely business point of view. "Thcv realize the right of the Impe rial parliament to transfer their serv ices, subject to adequate safeguards, to a subordinate? assembly and they are pre pared to give their sei vices in the fu ture as loyally and efficiently as they have done in the past. "The man who thinks that under the proposed change life in the postoritce will be a hed of roses, or the men who on the other hand believe that under such circumstances their prospects will he irretrievably ruined are living in dreamland, and nre not facing the ac tII.-,I realities of the situation. Our pros I rets and conditions of service in the future will depend, not on whether our postmaster general resides in St. Martins le Grand, London, or in Prince's street, Dublin, but on the strength and vi tality of our association." Mr. Bergin also made a warm prole-t against another feature of the unionist agitation. This is the circulation of leaf lets warning the public, that under home rule their deposits In the postofflee sav ings banks would not be safe, that tha araount of their savings would be made known to the politicians, and other per sons in their districts, and that tile per Hillman Cafe WHERE THE BEST AWAITS YOU FOR Sunday Dinner For you will enjoy the ex cellence of the service, the menu, the cuisine and the music.

V3KG3NIA sonnel of the postoffice staff charged with handling these savings was sure to deteriorate. Other delegates pointed out that things would not well become much worse lin ger the new conditions than they are at present. One of the chief grievances Is the system of favoritism now prevailing in the matter of promotions, under which merit counts for very little. Promotion is dependent now on secret reports made by local postmasters who as often as not are imported from England and Scotland and who. in large offices at least, have Mile personal knowledge of the work and capacity of the individual members of their staff. Many delegates declared In favor of the institution of a hoard of control, composed of favor of the in stitution of a board of control, composed of officials of all ranks, who should have 1 iecess to the records of all employes and i who should consider and review all ap plications for promotion. It was felt, however, that there was no use in tak ing any active steps to secure tills end until after the change and a resolution covering the point was postponed until next year.

DUSTIN FARNUM TO BE AT JEFFERSON Famoufl Actor Will Take Leading Role in “The Littlest Rebel" Friday and Saturday A. H. Woods, who will present Dustin Famum in “The Littlest Rebel,” ut the Jefferson theatre Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee, offers an unusual and artistic treat to theatre goers. In “The Lit fleet Rebel,** Mr. Famum is said to have the strongest role lie has yet been seen in. The dramatic clashes throughout the play are mainly between a northern colonel and a southern officer. The reason is found in the presence of the IJttleet Rebel herself, a dainty child of seven, the daughter of the southern cap tain. Her father steals through the fed eral lines to bring her bread and meat in place of the acorn coffee and blue berries on which the ravlshlngs of war force her to subsist, and it is on one of these Jour neys that he is caught and condemned us a spy by the northern ofTicer. The Lit tlest Rebel’s plea for her father's life, however, reaches the heart of the north ern colonel and instead of putting the scout before the firing squad writes him a pass for himself and child through all lines to Richmond. Later In the play during a skirmish when the southern soldier. In gratitude, pro tects the northern officer's life at the rl k of his own, the colonel’s lapse from duty is detected and both officers are put under arreet and sentenced by court, marital, one to be banged as a traitor, the other to die as a spy. Again the Littlest Rebel puts in an appearance at the general’s camp, and, through her explanations, the two men are released with reprimands and sent their various ways, A feature of the performance Is the ex citing and realistic battle scene of the third act, which !« said to eclipse any thing of the kind presented in i*y nt years oil the American stage.

N'ot that "The Rosary" Is a decision rherely-lt Is more. It attempts to portray misery and unhappiness that comes upon man who larks faith In the supreme good and Its Inevitable triumphs In this world. A typical American family is taken as the example of every day conditions that obtain throughout the United States; he husband a man immersed in business, the exacting business of Wall street and the stock exchange. Kittle by little he has fallen away from the faith of his fathers and he lias replaced it by an agnostic attitude. The wife's confidence in an all wise, all pervading good lias not been shaken, and so when storm and stress comes the man with no anchor Is •swept away by the storm of agony; the woman remains steadfast, moored by per j faith to outride the tempest Through all the heartbreak and tears, j | through all the agony and anguish, clear' and serene, moves the figure of a modern Catholic priest, whose life has been ded icated to God and the service of his fel low man; it Is his clear spiritual vision that sees through the web that lias been woven about the two people whom he loves and it is his faith and God-given power that sets them free. It is a preachment of faith's power, of the saving grace of the goo^ that lies all about us. The story, powerful in its simplicity. Is interwoven w ith threads of humor There will be matinees Tuesday, Thurs day and Saturday and performances nightly.

MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO CROPS BY DEER $9680 Paid Out in Massachusetts Last Year to Cover Injuries From the Boston Transcript. Figures have been compiled in the of-! dee of the state commission on fisheries and game showing the damages paid on account of injuries to crops by wild deer during the last four years. For the en-, tire state the totals are as follows: For 19<»9 $7923, for 1910 $7361, for 1911 $9526, for 1912 $9680. The total appropriation for the last year was $10,000, and there are sup plementary claims .amounting to $5715, which will be paid as soon as a deficiency bill can bo passed. Thus it is seen that the damages caused by wild deer are In creasing rapidly in amount. At the same time the number of elainv ants has not increased. Figures for 1912 in this respect are not available, but for the previous three years, in order, tho number of claimants was 524 for 1909, then 411 and 418. The average cost a claimant, in the same order, was $16.12. $17.89 and $22.70. The smallest amount claimed ami awarded was 50 cents In 1909. $i in 1910 and the same In 1911. The largest claim in 1909 was $175. in 1910 it was #1(0 but in 1911 it took the big Jump to $1873, when the state had to pay for the destruction of the fine apple orchard of two agricultural college professors, which they planted at the south end of Amherst, on the foothills of the Holyoke range. Figures for the last six seasons are given covering certain points. For 1912 (hey are as follows: Deer seen, 1120; seen chased by dogs. IS; seen damaging crops, ‘220; shot illegally, 23; killed by trains and trolley cars, 36; dead from dogs, drown ing, etc., 136; shot while damaging crops. 313. The total of deer killed in open sea son in 1912 was 1231, against 1270 in 1911 and 12^0 in 1910. a remarkable uniformity of numbers. The total wounded In open season was 58 in 1912, against 66 In 1911 and 101 In 1910. Regarding damages Franklin county leads a!! the others by far, for its pay ments for the last four seasons in order were, respectively, $3793. $3363, $2902 and $3722. For Hampden county' they' were, in 'he same order, $416, $779, $1688 and $1373. For Hampshire county the corresponding • gores were $746, $585, $2556 and $601. For Berkshire these are the corresponding figures, $612. $462, $373 and $257. For Wor cester county they were, respectively, $1374, $871. $611 and $1786. During the year 1912 the deputies of the commission saw 1«31 hunters with game In their possession and 2345 with out game in their possession, presumably having seen, most of them, early in tin day, so it is said at the office The game found in their possession was as follows: Deer, 36; foxes, a; rabbits, wi; squirrels, 474; muskrats, 63:•woodchucks. 2; skunks, 5; otter, 1 raccoon, 1; shore birds, 690; ducks, loons and pigeons, 553; partridge, quail, pheasants, woodcock, grouse, 239: geese, 3; hawk, 1: shrike, l; crows, if cats. 2 and one monkey, which is supposed have escaped from a show In Fall Aiver, as several are said to bi loose around here. Licenses were taken away from 81 resident hunters and one alien, and will be withheld for one year. Already in 1912 three hunters' licenses have been revoked for violation, and it is expected that this snow will cause more to full to the rigor of the law. The reports of the paid deputies show that there have beep 439 convictions based on 408 arrests, (here having been cases where several convictions on different counts have been secured on one person. The fines imposed amounted to $4735, and the fines paid were $4020. The costs of court, paid by the guilty, were $210. The unpaid deputies reported, further. 34 con viction s on 31 arrests, with $135 tines im posed and $?.15 fines paid and about W> costs of court. The special deputies, such as were called in during the open season on deer and other special occasions, show 26 convictions on 26 arrests, with $196 fines imposed and all paid, with nearly $f costa of court. Deputies also act us forest wardens, and they report that they have discov ered and aided In extinguishing 55 largo fires. Two arrests and convictions have been secured for setting fires in the woods. Absolutely No (‘banco From the Omaha Her.
