A FEW CASES IN WHICH CIVIZ, SERVICE CANDIDATES HAVE TRIED TO BEAT THE EXAMINERS. “We nave had three or four cases,” sald one of the board of civil service exathiners to a Star re- porter to-day, “ where there was clear evidence of collusion between applicants undergoing examina- tion. There were only three or four cases out of several hundred, which 1s a very good record. ‘They were cases where twopergons sitting together both made the same egregious blunders. If both hnd been correct In their answers 1t would be un- fair to inf-r collusion, but when one makes an egregious blunder, and'the other makes the same blunder exactly, the Implication 1s pretty strong.” “ Did these attemprs at fraud come from any par- Ucular section of the country?” asked the re- porter. “No; they represent different sections. ‘The only. way to obtain absolute security against such coi- Jusion 18 to follow the Chinese system, ‘here the applicant 1s placed alone tn a cell. He 1s given the work he has to do, aud his, meals are handed in to him. He's not allowed to come out until he fin shes his work.” © “And,” observed a bystander, “if he do2s not pass thé examination he 13 beheaded, 0 he is not able to tell the next man anything about the ext stiri Service Commissioner Gregory sala that Civil Service Commissioner Gregory sald that tney had one case recently where ft was evident that a candidate who had not passed had copied from the Papers of a lady who did pass In certain subject the lady made most grotesque errors, and these were faithfuliy copied by the applicant who 8 t hext to her. When this was discovered the suc- cessful applicant was summoned before the board, ‘but cleared herself of the charge of collusion’ ‘The other applicant, she claimed, bad purloined her rough scraps of’ paper, without her’ consent, and made up the answers from them. As a rule, the commissioner thinks that the spirit’ of compe Ution tn the examinations, and the tact that it. 15 to the interest of each candidate to excel. pis. eighbor, affords sufficient protection against Gol- , ‘The President and His Guests. GAY TIMES IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON—THR ‘TORPEDO EXPERIMENTS. Blaine. Secretary McPherson has received a letter from @ gentleman in Mississippi, who 1s a democrat and @ Cleveland man, denying the slander published against Blaine in the Indianapolis Sentinel. The writer says he lived in Kentucky when Blaine was teaching there and when he married; was upon frlendly and even intimate terms with him during ‘hat period, and know» of his own personal kuow edge 1 there, though tome of the young mee uscd towels Little’ Jealous of him sometimes because he was ‘such # favorite among the ladies ‘The Chinese War Vessels. ‘THEIR MORE POWRRFUL IRONCLADS NOT ENGAGED IN ‘THE RECENT CONFLICT—WHAT U. & NAVY OFFICERS SAY ABOUT IT. The opening of the war against China by France, and the easy destruction of the vessels of the former, is very generally discussed by naval of- fcers in this city. Those most familiar with the coast of China and her navy are inclined to think that the best vessels of the Chinese navy did not take part in this action. The gunboats, which con- stitute the main portion of the navy are probably about Pekin or up the rivers. These boats were built ii England and France and are of the best modern designs. ‘They are manned mainly by foreigners, oF were some time ago, and if the French vessels should come in contact with these, officers of our navy think that the contest would not be so unequal. ‘The opinion 15 expressed that even if the future phases of the war should fail to develop any higher powers of resistance on the Part of the Chinese than the recent contest, still the French would continue until their object had been accomplisied. “The French are after commercial advant said one naval ofticer,**and they propose to get atany cost. ‘That is the policy of England and Germany. ‘There 1s no consideration of morality, of human justice or of human right that will pre- Font these nations from pursuing a policy, ravora- Die to their commerce. 1 recollect once that the Japanese government wanted to establish @ quar- antine in order to prevent the spread of cholera. Our minister, Gen.

That isa very modest couple. Most of them come into the sheds and get pieces from the stones that the men are cutting. hey are taken away as relics of the monument. Some people have a little picture of the monumentor of Mount Vernon painted on them, and I see some of these are offered for sale now in tie stores. “Yes, we have abouta hundred or more every ay come to ask for plecesof stone. Before the last course of the shaft was finished the spoils hunters were always anxious to know at what height the stone was placed that the chip came from, and I have marked the height on hundreds of stones for such people. They do not annoy us. All kinds of people come. Sometimes ladies richly and fashionably dressed come in to get a relic, and again you can see people come down here with market baskets and fill them up with chips I Suppose these people with baskets propose to col- Jeet them for sale.” The key stone, which is to be placed inside the Pyramid of the monument a little below the apex or capstone, is being cut now. _ Many relic hunters e already Mavee chips from the capstone men that 1s finished. ‘The chippings from the stones are turned over to the District government and will be used in making road beds. + THE JUMPING BEAN OF MEXICO AND A NEW FORM OF VICE IT HAS INTRODUCED. The jumping bean of Mexico is at present creat- ing a small sensation in town. By some means a Pocketful or more of these animated beans have Deen brought into the city and distributed. The bean looks as though it were the third partof a glove about a third of aninch in diameter. It 1s brown and varee of them grow together in a pod on tall trees found in hot districts of America. When placed on any surface the bean moves about with little sposmodic Jerks. Its motion is very erratic. One use it hag already been put to 1s to minister to the spirit of gambling. In some quar- ters where two or three beans and thelr owners have assembled together theré are exciting con- tests, on Which wagers of considerable amounts are staked. A little circle 1s drawn on the table and the beans are placed in the center. Then a “pot” 1s made up, ten, twenty-five and even as much as fifty cents ora dollar being requiredeto “comein.” The owner of the bean that tumbles outof the ring Hirst takes the pot. Where only ‘one bean Is produced the circle 1s divided into seg- ments and the players bet_on the segments. ‘The son bétting on the segment over which the Bean passes in leaving ‘he tircie wins the money. ‘Whenever one sees haif a dozen persons with thelr heads bent closely down over a table, holding their breath in subdued excitement, he may be sure that there 1s a jumping bean there.
