MEN CLERKS IN DEMAND
SO BTTIEATJ CHICFS PREFER THEM
TO TUB WOME.Y!
tsttictlca" Show That More Mem Than
Women Are Appointed Each
Tear One Alleeed. Reason,
tor This Preference.
Prsm tht Washington Pott.
Women, It Is claimed by members of that
tex are often discriminated against in the
matter of appointments under the civil
service. The cry is raised that in all those
positions for which men and women com
pete on equal terms the men are given the
preference: that only the smallest possible
per cent of eligible women ever obtain the
coveted places.
The person who passes the government
buildings at a time when the throngs of
clerks are pouring out is Impressed with
the great number of women in tlie ranks.
Tet the Idea of women's places in govern
ment employ that is thus obtained is vejry
likely to be an erroneous noe. A civil serv
ice official says that the number of women
directly appointed to positions in Washing
ton Is exceedingly limited when compared
with" the number of men who so often ob
tain places. This is without doubt due to
the preference which the chiefs of bureaus
are supposed to entertain for man clerks.
Ar.d do the women ask the cause of this
preference? They are many, according to
the chiefs.
'Of course." said one of the chiefs, who
will be protected behind an anonymity,
since others who express practically the
eame sentiment would let him stand ex
posed alone to the fury that must come:
'it is self-evident that a capable, industri
ous woman is superior to an incapable, lazy
man. No one attempts to dispute that.
And if all the women who wanted appoint
ments were capable, industrious women,
while all the men were devoid of these
qualities, as some of the frantic ladies who
are clamoring for places trv to represent,
then would It indeed be a discrimination.
Choosing- a Cleric.
"The aim of the chiefs is to do govern
ment business as economically and expedi
tiously as possible. The organization of
their bureaus is made to this end. We do
not organize our bureaus with a view to'
making opportunities for worthy people
to draw salaries, without regard to wheth
er the government business demands their
services or not. There are. without doubt,
a great many people in government employ
who should not be drawing salaries. When
we choose a force of clerks we choose them
for their supposed ability to do good work.
Jow, when it comes to a deliberate choos-
J.?5,i, .wee.na lan clerk and a woman
clerk, the ladles have discovered that the
bureau chief gives a lirm preference to the
HJSn', Tiley snuld not be too hasty to de
mand the reason. .
"The bureau chiefs decision is in
fluenced by the experience of a decade. He
Pa!iBr.b-ab1!' had both men and women
in his office for years, or he has been with
men and women in the office, and has had
the opportunity of seeing just what both
do. In that time he has seen whole offices
disorganized through the antics of some
woman whose jealousies or temper made
ner an angel of confusion and storm. He
has seen the bureau chief sweat and work,
endeavoring to find a task too easy and
to hopeless pi. On the other hand, there
is a great deal of work that woman clerks
can do well. He has compared these things
with the weaknesses and failures of the
male clerks and he chooses the man. No
consideration of sentiment for men leads
him to the choice. It is purely because
he wants his bureau to run with smooth
ness and efficiency."
Conversation with a number of chiefs of
other bureaus In the war and agricultural
departments elicited varying expressions
upon the subject, the variation being of
degree rather than of sentiment. Some or
the chiefs smiled softly and murmured that
they did not know that they had any par
ticular choice, but they generally found, the
men;pretty-satlsfactory. -' -
Civil Service Flcures.
Figures furnished by the, civil service
commission show It to be true that a
mailer percentage of the women who pass
the examination receive appointments than
of the men. This per cent varies, of
course, from, year to year. The figures
cover fifty-seven kinds of examinations in
which both men and women have com
peted. Taking a consolidated statement
of the departmental and printing office
sen-ices, since so many of the appointees
for these sen-Ices are located in the Dis
trict of Columbia, it apears that of the
80,527 persons who passed the examina
tions. 11,466, or a. little over one-third, were
women. From the total list of eligible!,.
6.023 persons were appointed, of whom
1.12)3. or a trifle over one-fourth, were
women. Thus it Is that while women con
stituted over one-third of those who passed
the examinations, they received but one
fourth of the appointments.
However, 509 of tho womun should not
be Included, as they were appointed to
the positions of skilled laborers in the
government printing office, or of printer's
assistant in the bureau of engraving and
printing, which positions are practlcally
conflned to women. After deducting these
appointments, we find that 7S1 women have
been appointed out of a total ;of 4,414 ap
pointments. In other words, women were
appointed to only 17.7 per cent of all the
positions in tlie departmental and govern
ment printing branches of the sen-ice,
which were open to both men and women.
This taken in conjunction with the fact
that they constituted about 34 per cent of
the eliglbles, shows conclusively that, they
do not stand in the same favor with the
bureau chiefs that the men do. Many of
these men undoubtedly made higher rec
ords than the women, which may be one
reason there were more men appointed.
In the last ten years 40.928 persons pass
ed tho examinations for postofflce clerks,
which is the only branch of the poxtnl
een-lce for which both sexes may com
pete. Of this number, 8.640 were women.
As a. result of the examination, 13,057 per
sons were appointed to this position, of
whom 852, or only C.52 per cent were
women.
During the past five years 7.533 persons
passed the custom house sen-Ice examina
tion, in which both men and women may
compete. The women numbered 233, or
over 3 per cent, while of the 6S9 appoint
ments made, they got but 13, or less than 2
per cent.
The last four years of the Internal reve
nue sen-Ice likewise shows that while be
tween 4 and B per cent of the eliglbles
were women, only 2.9 per cent of them re
ceived appointments.
Men Stand Better Chances.
One phenomenon In connection with the
appointment of women is obsen-ed in this:
That while the year 1S9S marked the high
est percentage of appointments given to
women in all branches in the last ten
years, so did the succeeding fiscal year
1SS. show the lowest percentage 0.004.
When asked concerning the cause of this.
Chief Examiner A. K. Sen-en. of the civil
6ervlce commission, said: "The most rea
sonable explanation lies In the fact that
1898 was quite a prosperous year, and we
found it exceedingly difficult to Induce men
to take positions with salaries that hud
heretofore proved most attractive. Con
sequently, there was a great proportion
of women appointees. But bv the end of
that year the bureau chief seemed t9 think
that they had about enough women to last
for a while, and we were urged to try and
get men for the succeeding appointments.
"It Is an open secret that men stnnil a
much better chance of passing high than
women. Tho figures show that. You will
observe that while In the last ten years
less than 10 per cent of the women who
passed the examinations were appointed.
13.6 per cent of the male eliglbles secured
appointments. Next to 1899, the year 1S90
was the moat unfavorable to women, but
In 1893, when they trot 12 per cent, they got
almost as large a percentage of the ap
pointments from their list of eliglbles as
they did in 1SS. In the lnten-ening years
they show varying gain and loss, irom
which little can be gleaned, other than that
the percentages being so greatly In favor
of the men. It Is evident that sex is a seri
ous consideration when It comes to a
choice. Although In 189S they received 13
per cent of the appointments from their
fist, yet they received no more practlcally
than they did In 1899. with their COM per
cent., since there were about twice the
number of appointments made in the lat
ter year that there were In the preceding.
"My recommendations being Impartial, I
have no part in the matter, but 1 do know
that it Is often the case that a bureau
chief In looking over the recommendations
of several applicants will pass by the wom
an and take the man. despite the fact that
the woman's examination averages are the
higher."

THE TRUE LOVE LETTER.
It Display the Man or "Woman as He
or She Really in-Few Preserved,
In Literature.
Prom the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Everyone remembers how hi "Cyrano de
Bergeiae, ' alter lioxane Has been drawn
Into a love tor Christian because of the
Impression made upon her by the lmnas
sloned love letters written to her in Chris
tian's name by Cyrano himselt, she meets
Christian and Is terribly disappointed and
almost wholly disillusioned because his
wooing by word of mouth is so much less
impressive than what she had expected
from her reading of the letteis. The hctne
of their first actual lovemaklng is one of
the most amusing in the play. The mun
whom Koxane believes to have been pour
ing out to her a torrent of amatory elo
quence inspired by the intensest love and
ardor can nnd notning to say except to ie
Iterate again and again like a parrot the
words "1 love you.
It Is a pity that M. Rostand has not al
lowed us to read a number of these letters
of Cyrano which produced so tremendous
an effect upon the mind of the woman
whom he loved. There are very few love
letters preserved In literature, or ever seen
by those for whose eyes they were not
originally Intended, which come up to one's
notion of what a true love letter ought to
be. Those of Abelurd and Helolse, while at
times they are touching and tender, fall
short of being Ideal because they lack sim
plicity. Much the same thing can be said
of the much-discussed letters that passed
between Robert Browning and Elizabeth
iiarrett. These two persons were very ex
ceptional natures, and It may be assumed
that the letters which they wrote each
other were just the sort of letters adapted
to their Individual temperaments; but to
the reader it will always seem that lovers
who mingled their intimacies with Greek
quotations and philosophical allusions were
not safe guides for other lovers to follow
In this particular direction.
Of course. In a certain way. poor Chris
tian s mumbled iteration of "I love you"

can utter or imply; for everything else can

and printed they would form a mass of
..uu,b umi l-uuiu not iau to excite In
every mind a most intense and almost
painful interest, for in them there would
be found the vivisection of human souls.
Rousseau's confessions are usually viewed
as representing a supreme effort in self
analysis; yet even if Rousseau had teen
sincere, as undoubtedly he was not, and
had he been honest and not following out
his natural propensity to pose, what he
set down would still be far Inferior to the
self-revelations which lovers make; for,
whatever one may say, Rousseau was con
sciously endeavoring to be frank while
lovers are entirely unconscious of a motive
such as his. They are simply striving with
all their hearts and souls to get nearer to
each other, both In thought and word, to
reach the most perfect understanding of
each other, and to attain at last to an ab
solute oneness of sympathy and knowledge
and feeling.
This is why the. love letter, which is
written out of a full heart nnd with no
thought that and third person will ever
see it, displays the man or the woman as
he or she actually and really Is. A eom
.mon man and a common woman will ex
press their stunted and vulgar little per
sonalities in the sort of letters that one
hears read out In breach of promise trials
amid 'the guffaws of the hanger-on of
the courtroom. Cold natures and minds
that are eternally self-conscious will be ac
curately mirrored in letters that are stilt
ed and pedantic. ,Lovers who are moved
by intense devotion will express ail that
devotion with sincerity and ardor, but un
less their minds are of the very finest and
most sensitive type they will always in
troduce into their letters something incon
gruous, something that falls below tho
dignity of true passion, something that
will jar and make the reader have a little
shiver of distaste. When one reads letters
such as these he feels that he is Intruding
upon what is wholly personal and private,
and It makes him quite uncomfortable.
This, curiously enough, is not the case
when one chances on the love letter that
is truly wonderful and perfect: because
then, while it in reality is Intimate beyond
any other intimacy, it is so fine, so ele
mental, so man-elous and so beautiful
that one forgets all about the personality
of the writer and looks at what is written
In Its pages as he would look upon a per
fect creation in nature or In art as some
thing beyond the Individuality of a man
or of a woman and representing the su
preme self-revelation of an exalted soul.
VANILLA AND VIOLETS.
Death of the German Who Discov
ered Chemlcnl Scents and
Flavors.
From the London Times.
Professor Johann Carl Wllhelm Ferdi
nand Tiemann. who, as was briefly an
nounced in the Times, died of heart dis
ease at Meruit oh November 14, was born
at Rubeland in IMS. He, became a Ph. D.
of (.utllngen In 1S70, and In 1SS2 was ap
pointed professor of chemistry In Berlin
university, undertaking from the same -late
the editorship of the proceedings of the
German Chemical Society. Professor Tie
mann was the author of numerous Impor
tant researches of the most abstract na
lVe .m.pu? chemistry, having for their
object the discovery of the constitution of
tho camphors, the terpenes, and other or
ganic bodies. Of such researches Germany
holds practically the monopoly, beinc in
fact the only country where they are pos
sible. English chemical manufacturers
seem afraid to face the expense they entail
and cannot persuade themselves that they
have more than a theoretical value. In
Germany they are systematically carried
out on the chance of something being dis
covered that can be turned to practical and
commercial uccount, and Tlemann's
achievements alone, even If there were no
others or the same kind, would be more
than sufficient probf that the risk is worth
taking. As, a result of his difficult and
costly work in theoretical chemUtry he
was able to found a new and valuable
branch of chemlcnl industry in the man
ufacture of artificial flavoring matters and
perfumes, such as vanilla and the scent of
violets.
These are Identical with the natural
firoducts of the plants, the chemist's skill
laving first laboriously traced out the
character and arrangement of the constit
uent atoms and then built up synthetical
reproduction of them. The value of the
lonone. at the violet scent li termed, is
almost fabulous in comparison with the
cost of its manufacture, so greatly is It in
demand. Even If "to paint the lllv" still be
"wasteful nnd ridiculous exrpss." the flor
ist of to-day finds It very advantageous to
"add a perfume to the violet." nnd most
people would be much astonished if they
knew how often that flower In commerce
owes all its fragrance to Tiemann's chem
ical researches. It was so recently as last
July that he was In this country success
fully defending his ionone patents against
a petition for revocation, and the complex
ity of tlie chemical questions at Issue may
be judged from the fact that the case oc
cupied the attention of Mr. Justice Coz-ens-Hardy
for well over a week. Professor
Tiemann was a brother-in-law of the fa
mous chemist A. W. von Hofmann, and a
son-in-law of Kuno Fischer.

Drcir HI Own Conclusion.
From the New York Times.
A small boy living In Park Ridge re
cently called on a young lady who was
fond of entertaining him. She Immediately
produced a gorgeous picture book and sat
down beside the boy td explain the pic
tures. Turning to a bright-brown elephant
with an exaggerated trunk, the boy was
all attention.
"What's that?" he asked with his little
finger on the pictured probosclsi-
"That is the elephant's trunk."
Calling again the next day. he Immedi
ately asked too see "that elephant.'
Tlie book was produced, and again the
child sat thoughtfully looking at the pic
ture. Finally he exclaimed, with a bright
ening look:
"Well, if that's his trunk, I suppose this
little one at the other end must be his
handbag."
American Itecord in the Antarctic.
From Bcrlbner's.
Perhaps It Is wisest to face the fact that
to tlie eye of foreigners, particularly to
those of Englishmen, the Stars and Stripes,
which have flapped bravely In the far
North, have drooped a little In the far
South. In the articles and addresses upon
the history of Antarctic discovery that
have appeared iu British periodicals, pop
ular and sclentilic, you will find either no
allusion to any American or a direct slur
upon Lieutenant Wilkes, of tlie United
States navy, or again an Irrltatlngly polite
and condescending admission of Wilkes'
discoveries. In one of these articles you
will find the name ot another American,
but he appears as an Englishman.
