THE APPOINTEE A LADY.-TO GO ON DUTY IN THR TREASURY DEPARTMENT. ‘The first appotntment im the department service ‘under the new civil service rules was made to-day in the Treasury department. The civil service commission certified the names of four ladies to the acting Secretary of the Treasury to fill a $900 Dosition in the national'bank redemption agency of the Treasurer’s office, which will be vacant when tho promotions intended are made from $900 to $1,000, ana from $1,000 to $1,200. The name of the first person on the list was selected, that of Miss Mary F. Hoyt, of Connecticut, residiog on Capitol Hin. Her standing ‘was 88.98. ‘The names and standing of the other Yadies were: Mrs. Annie ‘M. Spencer, Indiana. 85.75; Miss Mattie H. Chap- man, Virginia. 7475, and Mrs. Mary EB Weeks, Louistana, 73.75. The Treasury department will inform the civil service commission that Miss Hoyt has been ap- pointed for a probationary period of six months, and the other names will be retained on the late of the commission. At the end of the probation- ary period, if the services of the lady have proved salisfactory, the appointment will be made per- manent, the commission will be notified of the fact, and it will be charged to the quota of Con- necticut. Fy Leaves of Absence for Clerks. AN IMPORTANT DECISION DEFINING THE LEGAL STATUS OF SUCH LEAVES. In reply to a letter from Commissioner Marble, forwarding the application of a clerk for leave of absence, “with a demand upon his part for an al- lowance of thirty days, exclusive of Sundays, to be granted as a legal right under the act of March 34, 1888,” Mr. Joslyn, the Assistant Secretary of the Interior, states that the act provides “that hereafter it shall be the duty of the heads of the several executive departments, in the interest of the public service, to require of all clerks and other employes, of whatever grade or class, in their respective departments, not less than seven hours of labor each day, except Sundays and days declared public holidays by law or executive order.” The opinton states that as to these excepted days there is no jurisdiction In the heads to regu- late nor to require service. They are dies non in law. The further proviso of the law prescribes that “all absence from the departments on the part of sald clerks or other employes, in excess of such leave of absence as may be granted by the heads thereof, which shail not exceed thirty days in any one year, except in case of sickness, shall be without pay.” The Secretary thinks that the head of the de- partment may not lawfully require such service on Sundays or legal holidays, “It 1s equally clear that the limitation upon the discretion must apply to the same thing as the discretion iteelf, and con- sequently that the thirty days must be days over Which the head of the department has a discretion to require the service. From this: it follows that while he may lawfully grant a leave exten to 80 days in one year, exclusive of Sundays ai legal holidays, he is not bound by law to grant any leave whatever, and the employe takes his Tight to the time, not from the law, but from the executive discretion permitted by the law. Hence, the demand of an employe for such time as a legal right is inadmissible.” The head of the de- partment, the opinion maintains, may use his own discretion as to whether he grant leave at all. tary I do not feel called to, change the rule Ror to embarrass his action it upon bis return be Shall not accept the foregoing ognstruction ot the ‘The will be granted in the unudt tors Ton ihe prourety t granting additional time to the I ent of the de- partment, upon the mature and deliberate ime the défense in the libel suit pdt ile the firm-by the Sheffield Cutlery company, frauds in the ublishti name in the list of Postal Ga fudge Gresham re- J fuses to comply with the request.

HOW EDDIE LITTLE LOST HIS LIFE IN ATTEMPTING TO SAVE TWO YOUNG LADIES ON OGUNQUIT BEACH. Atelegram from Portsmouth, N.H., dated yes- tercay, gives the following sad details of the drowning accident 1n Maine, mentioned in yester- day’s SraR: A party of children, guests of the Bald Head Cliff house, seventeen miles from this city, started at 9:30' am. for Ogunquit Beach, two miles distant, in a barge which runs dutly for the accommodation of the bathers. The shore at the cliff is rocky, and Ogunquit is level and sandy, and there is ‘usually a good surf, The barge eontained thirteen persons: Miss Marsh of Andover, Mass.; Edward Gould, a minent stock broker of Boston, his daugh- r Emma, and young son; the Rev. Dr. Little of Washington; Mrs. Little, their sons Eddie, Arthur and Norton; Greenough Thayer, aged 20, eldest son of Prof.’ Thayer of Harvard College, and a Harvard sophomore; Miss Kittle Safford, daughter of Prof. Safford of Andover; a gentleman from Boston whose name has not been learned, and one other person. They crossed the Ogunquit river in a boat, and seven of the party—Miss Gould, Mr. Thayer, Miss Safford, Eddie Littie, Miss Marsh, and Mr. and Mrs. Little—entered the surf to bathe. “A high sea was running, and the wind blew stiff from the southward and eastward. and the surf was very high. Mr. and Mrs. Little, Miss Gould, and Miss Safford were hand in hand. In the mean time, the tide, which wes a young flood, was sweeping the entire party into a pit of recent formation, near the mouth of the river. It was then half-past eleven, and the tide cei making a strong undertow a short distance from the shore. ‘This the bathers did not realize. The young ladies were in high spirits and pushed toward the deepest water, dragging thelr com- panions. Mr. Little, becomiug strangled, broke from the others and struck for shore, A wave swept his wife agatnst him and both were washed into shoal water. Miss Marsh was also washed ashore in an exhausted oondition. The other young ladies, finding themselves tn great danger, called for help. Thayer and Eddie Little hurried vw thelr assistance and endeavored to drag them toa place of safety. Fora while the endurance of the four human beings and the power of the Ocean seemed about equal. Tho young men were thoroughly self-possessed, but the ladies lost thelr presence of mind, and their helplessness nearly caused the ‘deaths of themselves and those who attempted to rescue them. Several fishermen heard their cries, and crossed. the river to where the bathers were, and assisted ‘Mr. and Mrs, Little and Miss Marsh ashore. ne- glecting the others, one of them remarking: “They are allright, Their heads are above water. ‘They can swim.” When he looked again four had disap- ared. Miss Marsh and Mrs. Little were insensi- 1e, and were taken to a physician, and not resus- citated until ¢ pm. Mrs, Little has nearly recor ered, but Miss Marsh fs still in a precarious condl- tion. None of the bodies have been recovered, and, in the opinion of seafaring men, will not be until the wind hauls in shore. Prof. Safford arrived early in the afternoon, onty to learn of the loss of his daughter, whom he idolized.

Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The tourist naturally expects to see bear, elk, deer, antelope, and other wild animals in the Yellowstone park, and they may be there, for the guide-books tell us they are abundant. But in the eight days’ travel in the park not a single living specimen was seen, and the only approximation to a bear was a porcupine, which one of the guides freed and into- which Major Bickham swears he emptled the contents of his Seven-shooter before he discovered he was wasting his ammunition on a fretful porcupine. An occasional chipmunk or ground squirrel was seen, and now and then a corey of disconsolate blackbirds. but as for living game one might as well look for it among the hills of Eden park as along the traversed routes ot the National park. Neither wild animal nor Indian was seen in all the Journeyjng. If one wishes to see an Indian, in fact, in all his long travel from St. Paul to the National park, a distance of nearly 1,100 miles, he must search for him on the reservations, where he is as different from the native savage as the menagerie lon from the monarch of the African Jingle. Indians and buffalo have alike disappeared, and only tra- dition of their existence remains, territories, 21; New 4 cloud, black as the raven’s wing, appeared in the west. Suddenly it split, and between the two black trains expaaded the most fearful, dismal sky lever saw. The color was green— gray—yellow, and it darkened the sun so it be- came as twilight. The carpenters had gathered together with us on the porch. “This must be @ hailstorm,” one of them sald: “now we will pretty soon hear of dis- asters.” Suddenly the clett widened between the two black cloud wings, and the upper one came with a terrible speed, flurrying back to- ward us. “Let us walk in,” I said. “It seems as if we, too, shall get a taste of it.” We went in, and our parlor looked quite dark. We had searcely locked the door before we heard the roaring of the storm coming. In a moment we were surrounded by a white cloud, and the wind and rain lashed the house, which groaned aad shivered. It was not rain, it was furious torrents of water mixed with heavy hail, which poured down from heaven. The storm tried to burst open the door, but five men pressed against it with all their might.

Another thing about rs which is of interest to the ladies is this: if a lady has very long poppers aglove with fingers as long as her own, or hands will look very large. It is curious, but true. fingers look beautiful on the an- gloved hand, but not pretty at all in gloves.” “In there any other way of making the hand appear small?” “Yea, several. One way is to wrinkle the glove about the wrist. Another to have the sleeve ruffied. A tight, plain sleeve ts very trying to a large hand, you know, like low heels toa long foot. he reporter sauntered into a chiropodist's on Fourteenth street to get his ideas on hands. “Finger-nails,” said he, “are the greatest ;lve- away on people who pretend to true blood. In every case Ican warrant youthe hand is a strong index of character. Why, the electricity in people's hands is remarkable. Some ladles whose nails I beautify (for $1 you know), why they send shocks right through me; regular electric batteries, Ican tell you. But to come down to solid fact, a homely nail spotis the — no matter how beautiful it may be other- wise.” “What do yon consider a perfect nail?” asked the reporter. “Just this, sir. A long, oval-shaped nail, coming half way down between the top of the finger and the first pate and to be cut properly the top end should be exactly the same shape as the upper part of the nail—a perfect oval; and It should grow no longer or no shorter than Just to come to the tip of the finger.” “But I notice,” said the reporter, “that many ladies and gentlemen wear their nails very jong and cut to a narrow peint.” “Barbarous, sir, simply barbarous. If ony knew how much like bird's claws nails looked they would stop it. But it is use- less to fight against fashion. One might as well try to coax the sun to stop rising” Aprominent doctor in this city told the re- porter that a great many women, and men. too, poltoned themselves by using powder for thelf nds, or similar mixtures. “The best thing in the world,” said he, “and also the simplest for making the hands white, is Indian meal and glycerine. Ifthe hands are washed in the meal twice a day and then gly- cerined, it is almost impossible for them not io be white and smooth.” A fashionable girl said to the reporter: “You. can say If yon want to, and it you promise faithe fully not to give even an idea of my name, thas it isdangerous to let any one squeeze your hand too often or too hard, as it enlarges the knuckles more than you would imagine.
