The Indiana civil-service reformers intend to héld Gen. Harrison to his utterances in the matter of taking patronage out of politics. They are going todemand that he live up to his letter of acceptance and to the Chicago platform as conscientiously as he does to the Presbyterian confession of faith. Before the Indiana civil-service re" form associatin, at its annual meeting to-night. the retiring president, William Dud- ley Foulke, the George William Curtis of In- diana, made a stirring address, holding Gen. Harrison to the promises made by him and the republican party. ‘What have we to expect from this administration?” he asked, and then quoted from the Chicago The reform of the civil iously Begun under the republican administra- tion, Taal te continued until all grades of the service to which it is applicable are included. He continued: Gen. Harrison tells us in his letter of accept- ance that he entirely agrees with the platform upon every subject embraced therein; there- fore, he has made a distinct promise to reform the civil service. The meaning of the plat- form is unmistakable. Reform should be ex- tended to all grades of the service. Gen. Har- rison is the man invested with the control, and to the President and not to Congress must we look for a Sela ear of these pledges. The promise can under no circumstances be ful- filled by mere approval by the executive of ad- ditional reform legislation. The afiirmative ice, 80 auspic- act of extending the system must be done by the President himself. Mr. Foulke said there should be post-office classifications wherever free delivery is in vogue. The interpretation of the Chica; platform warranted such a construction. The entire service of the government, even to labo ing men in the navy-yards, should be included, and Harrison should be expected to enforce the regulation. There should nolonger be employ- ment or discharge of persons in these subor- dinate places, for political reasons, just be- fore or after election, The Indian bureau with its school system, the land bureau and the labor bureau should be all classified. In the departments of War and agriculture the entire clerical force should come within the regula- tion. By the language, spirit. and purpose of the platform in all executive appointments no recommendation of Senators and Congressmen should be considered. In conclusion, Mr. Foulke quoted from Gen. Harrison's letter of acceptance: ‘‘Fitness and not politics should be the essential and discriminating ¢ test.” The Puritan Sabbath. Bob Burdette. If the stern old Puritan Sabbath, with its sub- duing, saddening effects, wrought out such joy- ous natures as Beecher’s and gave to the world such a beautiful blending of tenderness and strength, laughter and tears, heart-deep pathos and sunny humor as Oliver Wendell Holmes, let us have another century of Puritan Sab- baths. Up to date the Sunday of the beer gar- den has failed to bring forth a Holmes or a Beecher. It has evolved a Johann Most and an August Spies, but somehow that sort of a pro- duct doesn’t seem to be quite up to the old Puritan mark. ——__——+@e_—___ A Story on “Old Buck.” From the Philadelphia Record. The talk about a foreign mission for this re- publican spellbinder and a foreign consulate for that one reminds me of the time Morrow B. Lowry, then a political power, asked James Buchanan, whom he had zealously supported, and who had just been made Secretary of State, to send him abroad in some —— capacity. his wife’s ill-health demanding a change of climate. Lowry was rich then, and only sought the honor of the office, but he did covet that, and when Buchanan kept him waiting, as he did, until his wife died, he responded to the offer of the insignificant consular appointment “igtn: My wife bas gone to Heaven, and wife me leaven, and you f rit Morrow B.

John Lewis went in the Independent Ice company’s office & few days agoand laid his poc etbook on a shelf, and when he left forgot it. When he re- turned he found that his pocketbook, with 3101 and some papers in it, was missing.

Policeman Bast, of the eighth precinct, appeared as com- plaining witness. He told the court that the boyattended school on Vermont avenue, and yes- terday when witness told him to “move on” the boy said “rats,” and “I arrested him.” The little boy, who was badly frightened because it was his first appearance in court, denied the testi- mony of the officer and said that one of the other boys said “rats.” The judge returned the boy his collateral and warned him against calling such names at policemen.

Reported for THY EVENING STAR, Tue Briry Witt1ams Awarv.—The suit of Officer Slack, of the Washington police force, to recover $500 offered by the mayor of this city for the arrest and conviction of Billy Wil- liams, will be decided next Saturday. If it shall appear that Mr. Slack is entitled to the whole of the award, judgment will then be given for him; but to protect itself the corpora- tion of Alexandria has filed an interpleader that brings to the attention of the court the fact that there afe other claimants for the whole or part of the award, so that the final de- cision of the court may cover the whole case or protect the city from further claim on account of the offer of reward. Corporation Court.—The corportion court has before it still a number of tax coupon cases to occupy its time. These are not, strictly speaking, contested cases, but are proceedings under the law by which the validity of the bond and its coupons is determined by inspec- tion and investigation. Two judgments were ven yesterday—one in the case of Glenn ot the Washington architect, against Her- bert Bryant on a disputed claim, in’ which the plaintiff recovered judgment for a small amount, and the other a judgment in favor of Harrison Kirk, jr., against Wall & Co., also for asmall amount. e substitution of Worth Hultish for J.

THE ROOF OF THE TUNNEL. The Sudden Death of Representative Burnes—Sketch of His Career. Representative James Nelson Burnes, of Mis- souri, who was stricken with paralysis in the House yesterday afternoon, as stated in Tax Sran, died at Willard’s hotel at 12:45 this morn- ing. As stated in Tue Szar yesterday, the first attack came upon him while in his seat in the House. He was assisted from there to the ap- propriations committee-room. The force of the stroke increased, be lost consciousness, and his condition from the first was regarded as extremely critical. Every attention possible was given him by his colleagues, Doctors Gal- linger, Shaw, and Atkinson, who, being mem- bers of the House, were on hand at the mo- ment, and Dr, spite rs. who has been Mr. Burnes’ attending physician. His son, D. D. Burnes, and his brother, Fielding Burnes, were summoned, and at 4 o'clock the sufferer was removed to Willard’s, His condition became more critical, the lysis which at first had been confined to his left arm and leg, extend- ing over his entire left side. It became evi- dent that the stroke had been caused by THE RUPTURE OF A BLOOD VESSEL. After a consultation, Drs. Sowers and Gal- linger decided that there was no hope for the recovery of the stricken man. Dispatches were sent to his wife and family, in Missouri, and the report that their popular colleague was rapidly nearing the last brought many members of the House and Senate to the hotel, Very few were admitted to the bedside of the dying man. A crowd waited in the corridor. Later Dr. Busey was called into consultation, but nothing could be done to delay the hand of death. From 7 o'clock until within a few mo- ments of his death the a was unconscious, and at the last moment he was trying to speak to his son and brother, who were by his side during the whole time. He was not able to speak after the full force of the stroke was upon him, When death came Col. Fielding Burnes, Mr. D. D. Burnes, Dr. Sowers, Inter- state Commissioner Morrison, Representatives Dockery, Henderson, of Illinois, Gallinger, Barry, Stahinecker, and McCreary, the son of Representative Randall, Assistant _ Door- keeper J. H. Chinn, of the House; Edward Deknight, and Arthur Brown, his colored body-servant, were at the bedside. ABLE AND HONEST. The death of Mr. Burnes is a gad blow to many warm friends he had in the House. He was universally regarded as a man of ability and high integrity. His hardest labors were upon the appropriations committee. So highly was regarded his judgment and honesty of pur- pose that his colleagues in the House would often abandon their own preconceived notions to accept his presentation of a case. He was a man of nerve and force of character, and withal one of the most amiable men in the House. He was forcible without arrogance, and aggress- ive without egotism, so that he was very popa- lar as well as much respected among his col- leagues. He was a large man, who worked hard in House and committee, and took but little exercise in the open air. For some time he has expected the attack that came upon him yesterday, having been warned by pre- monitory symptoms which he recognized, Not long before the attack came upon him he ex- pressed the fear that it was imminent, yet he continued on with his work. A SKETCH OF HIS CAREER. He was a native of Indiana, where he was born August 22. 1832. He was the youngest of the family when they removed to Platte county, Mo., in 1837: received a common and high school education: studied law, graduating at the Harvard law school class of 1858; practiced law actively twenty years; was circuit attorney in 1856; was presidential elector in 1856, voting for Buchanan and Breckinridge: was judge of the common pleas court from 1868 to 1872; was elected from the fourth district to the Forty- seventh, Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Congresses as a Gemocrat. THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS. In accordance with the terms of the resolu- tions adopted by both houses of Congress this afternoon, a committee, consisting of Senators Vest, Teller and Coke, and Representatives Mansur, Stone of Mo., Wade. Sayers, Bynum, Henderson of Iowa, and Perkins, was appointed to accompany the remains of Mr. Burnes to St. Joseph, Mo., his place of residence, where the funeral services will be held on Sunday, They will leave with the remains at 7:30 to-night for that place, reaching there Saturday evening. Imaginary Maladies . Among Statesmen. Washington Chat in the Philadelphia Telegraph. I presume there are twenty or thirty men in each house of Congress who are victims of their own imagination. They are always ready to apply to themselves any ailments they hear of ethers suffering from, and are constantly feel- ing their pulses to detect any sign of weakness or variation. They are always on the lookout for the destroyer. There are six or eight men in the House who have their mouths and throats examined at least once a month by a specialist, under the impression that they are going to be afflicted with cancer. The keeper of the capi- tol cigar stand tells me that telk of excessive smoking causing this dreaded disease has in- jured his business materially. I was sitting in the cloak-room of the House talking with several members about the hot springs of Ar- kansas, Speaking of the efficacy of the baths for various diseases, one of the membexs told of acolleague in the House who was nearly dead from smoking too much, and saved his life by these baths. — that the man was that 80 tobacco-soaked the water in which he bathed was stained a light tobacco color. The other members laughed at the story, but three of them quietly threw away their cigars. One western member came back after his fall vacation suf- fering from a colony of boils that had _ settled on his neck and all over his body. He had been standing the pain with Christian fortitude, but, unfortunately for him one of the papers of his state published a paragraph about his con- dition. Stace then he has been receiving num- bers of letters every day from doctors inquir- ing after his health and asking questions about his physical state that have made him nervous. For instance, one of these doctors asked some very knowing questions about his bladder and kidneys, and in that connection asked if he felt certain symptoms (which anyone who has been afflicted with boils knows at once he must feel), and seemed to shake his head gravely and intimate that the congressman had better look out for himself. He wisely gave no ad- vice, but the victim wrote promptly to know what he meant by his intimations, and in a state of alarm sought his aid. Nightmares of Bright's disease have been annoying the con- ius aeecnepas yatanet h @ newspapers published a paragraph stat- ing that it was Dbeltovest that another mecaber had cancer of the mouth. That gentleman has suffered the pangs of anxiety and suspense ever since, though he has no better authority than this vague report for believing that he may be so afflicted. There are scores of others more or less nery- ous about their physical condition. The dis- ease most commonly dreaded b: by our states- men is that known as “overwork.” Many have insomnia from it; and the least intimation to one of them that he is suffering from that disease drives him at once from his desk and incapacitates hin him for the next six weeks. Cross-eyed Girls a and Bad Luck. From the Lewistown Journal. “A cross-eyed girl is death to good luck on the stage,” said the old showman, who was in a pensive and talkative mood. “They are dead sure to bring bad luck—a regular hoodoo, and no mistake. Lots of us won't travel with one in the company. I won't if I know it, and I reckon I do. e 0} seers y here this week, though, don’t think noticed a twist in one of the eyes of the chorus.

TERRIBLY BAD WORK REVEALED—MORE THAN ONE-FIFTH OF THE LINING WITH CAVITIES ABOVE IT—THE TESTIMONY BEFORE THE MILI- TARY COURT. The work of the aqueduct tunnel court of session began at 10.30 o'clock. when Mr. Quack- enbush, of the firm of contractors, appeared and made a few explanatory statements in re- gard to the method of keeping the books. He said that the names of the workmen them- selves did not appear on his books, but only those of the superintendents and the sub-con- tractors. The latter paid the men and kept their individual accounts. Chief Inspector Kirlin was recalled to the stand and swore to the truth of a letter from him to Lieut. Townsend, which the latter, while on the stand, had sub- mitted as evidence. MB. SPARROW, THE EXPERT SOUNDER, was then called and continued his testimony as to the results of the openings he has made in the roof of the tunnel. He began with the "East Rock Creek heading. His testimony de- veloped a frightful state of a tecape in this part of the tunnel. Opening after opening was coe scribed at short intervals, each one showii cavity of varying length, width and heig! Altogether sixty-eight cuts were made in —_ key in a distance of 3,075 feet, in which an equal number of cavities were found.

The cleansing of fine curtains in the winter time is a very nice operation, and one that few housekeepers have the courage to attempt at home. The following directions I carried out with flattering success: Place the curtains in a tub of cold water and allow them to remain for almost an hour. Re- move carefully, wringing slightly. and again lace them in fresh cold water, where leave for three or four hours. Again wring them carefully, and, stretching them across a clean table, rab thoroughly with some pure washing soap; roll up tightly and lay in moderately warm water for a full hour. Then transfer them into very hot water, leaving them there not longer than ten minutes. Once more vhange into cold water for a few minutes, The next move is into a moderately strong blue water, where let them remain about five min- utes, Boil one-half pound starch quite thick.fine flour quality; this will be sufficient for three good-sized curtains. Dip the curtains into the starch and wring them very slightly. Then stretch them immediately over clean sheets, Lay the sheets over a thickly-carpeted floor of a large room and pin down the edges of the lace, drawing it firmly, with extreme care. The Pins should be placed close together, so as to draw out the pattern. This may seem a tedious process; but, if the directions are faithfully carried out one will be amply rewarded for the pains. The curtains should be left stretched across the sheets until thoroughly dry, and when the pins are removed and they are lifted © Pied will be found to be snowy white and stiff, _——— eee — Rules for Debtors. “Taverner” in Boston Post. When that work on Human Nature, to which Thave referred casually once or twice, comes out, it will be found to contain a chapter show- ing how to get into debt honestly, how to re- main in debt gracefully, and how to emerge | from debt easily. I have already collected a large mass of material for the first two of the three heads just enumerated, but I confess that the third one gives me a great deal of trouble, and I have not as yet found anybody to enlighten me on the subject. However, will forestall to acertain extent the publication of my book by mentioning two or three G eral Principles which I derived from a person of large experience, and which properly fall under the second head of my chapter on debt. They are as follow: 1. Pay all bills with checks, never with cash. 2 Under no circumstances pay anything on account; to do so is a confession of es osit, 3. Never apologize for delay in sttling an account. These rules will, Iam confident, be found to work well, and I beg that the gentle reader Will accept them as a New Year's gift.
