THREE NEW APPOINTEES. The Public Printer and Two Civil Service Commissioners. The President made three long-looked for appointments last night. Frank W. Palmer, of Illinois, to be public printer, and Theodore Roosevelt, New York, and Hugh S. Thompson, of South Carolina, to be civil-service commis sioners, THE SUCCESSOR TO MR. BENEDICT isa Hoosier by birth, having been born in Manchester, Ind., October 11, 1827. He learned the printing trade and then went to New York city, where he stuck type for some time. Jamestown, N. ¥., was his next place of abode, and there, for ton years, he edited and pub- lished the Jamestown Journa’. For two years 1858 he moved out to Iowa and there assumed editorial charge of the Dubuque Times, of which he was also part owner. Two years later he was elected state printer and this office he held until 1868, In the meantime he had secured control of the Sale ister, now the property of First Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson, and when he relinquished his position as state printer it was to become a representative in Cougress for the Forty-first and Forty-second Congresses, He was an active member of the appropriations committee. Atthe conelnsion of his second term in the House he purchased an interest in the Chicago Inter-Ocean, then a new paper, and became one of its principal editors. Here he was associated with Mr. E. W. Halford, now the President's private secretary, Mr. Palmer was President Hayes’ choice for postmaster at Chi- cago, and he was continued in that capa- city by Presidents Garfield and Arthur, Since then Mr. Palmer has been doing edito- rial work. He had not made application for appointment to any place. and was selected by the President because he regarded hit as thor- oughly qualified for the place. He fulfills all the requirements of the law, being a practical printer and versed in the art of bookbindirg. The appointment is regarded with very gen- eral satistaction, and Mr. Palmer's many friends and admirers expect him to make a model ad- ministration of Government evi 4 Office affairs, because of his special fitness for the position. ‘MR. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, of New York, is one of the active politicians of the state from which he comes, and yet is a civil service reformer. He was a delegate to the Chicago convention of 1884, and was after- ward republican candidate for the mayoralty of New York, running against Abram ‘8. Hewitt and Henry George. Lately he has spent most of his time in Montana, where he owns exten- sive cattle interests. His ability as a literary man has long been established, and he is one of the most popular writers in the country on life in the far west. EX-GOV, HUGH 8, THOMPSON is well-known in this city, he having been As- sistant Secretary of the Treasury during the Cleveland administration. He was a Ne Year's gift, having been born January 1, 1836, in Charleston, 8. C. He was professor of | French and belles-lettres at Arsenal academy at Columbia when the war of the rebellion broke out, and he at once took command of a com- pany of cadets, with whom he served during the war. When that came to an end he took charge of the Columbia male academy, and re- mained there until 1876, when he was elected state superintendent of education, He was re- elected in 1878 and 1880.

The Russian Minister of the Interior Passes Away—Sketch of His Career. Count Tolstoi, the Russian minister of the | interior, who had been for some time, is dead. He and the late Count Schouvaloff were probably more disliked by the masses of the Russian people than any of those in authority about the person of the czar. While Tolstoi professed to favor progress his real policy was to crush every attempt at humanizing and in- structing the masses. The method which he adopted when appointed minister of public instruction was a shrewd one. He declared himself an ardent follower of the English edu- | cational system. With one stroke of the pen | » middle schools of the empire ne he wat a member of the state assersbip: and in | Al the middie schools of the empire were re formed on a classical basis, Greek and Latin were taught almost exclusively, A full course of classical studies was made the sine qua non of admittance toany high school, As there were no classical teachers to speak of in any college, the result of this change of rstem. may well be imagined, It was pfecisely what Tolstoi had expected it to ibe. The Pupils "were overburdened with studies which, conducted as they were by in competent teachers, not only remained utterly fruitless, but produced the opposite result of utterly incapable of intellectual work. At the | same time imstructions were given to conduct the examinations with relentless vigor.

While thus crippling the minds of the young generation fe st to the intellectual classes of the nation. Toistoi did all he could to stop the primary instruction of the people. Under pretense of guarding the schools opened by the zemstvos (local electiv institutions) and some private associations from revolutionary I atheistic influences, Tolstoi subjected ‘th and open inspection best calculated to disgust and discourage every honest man devoted to his work. This peculiar system Count Tolstoi was able to keep up for nearly four years. As an a his scheme, he endeavored to establish pendous and all-pervasive system of e He privately directed teachers and professors throughout the country to watch their scholars, Jand these were encouraged to watch their father, mothers and friends. But this attempt aroused such indignation through: he em- pire that the czar deemed it prudent at last to relieve the count from his duties. and in 1830, he was finally relieved from duty as ister of public instruction and ober-procurator of the holy synod, which office he also held, | and sent to reside, in disgrace, ou his estates. Reports of his impending resignation or re- moval had been current for a couple of years before this time, but he succeeded in tiding over the crisis in his affairs. A year or so be- fore his removal from office the revolutionary executive committee of St. Petersburg ad- dressed a letter to him, saying that he need not fear any attack being made by revolution- ary emissaries upon his person, “he being the best and truest ally of the Russian revolution.” Tolstoi was appointed to succeed General Ignatieff, when the latter, at his own request, retired from the post of minister of the in- terior. A GRAD ional pees D ARMY SENSATION. Serious Charges Against Professor Van Horn. Army of the Republic circles here relating to their action ina matter in which Prof, Van Horn, late of the soldiers’ orphans’ school of Chester Springs, this county, is pged to be criminally conspicuous, The story is that Me Cail post 31, R., of this borough, some time since was informed that Prof. Van Horn had brutally punished several of the boy pupils under his charge,and also had acted toward one or more of the girls in a very shameful and unbecoming manner. The post appointed a committee of three to investigate the matter, and those three delegates visiting the school and taking the children into private rooms gleaned from them their testimony concerning the charges, Prof. Van Horn insisted on being present at this investigation, but the committee refused to grant him permission to enter the room. Upon their concluding the taking of testi- mony the result was duly transmitted to Gov. Beaver, who in turn sent Superintendent Hig- bee and another official here to farther learn of the charges preferred, and this interview with the G. A. R. committee led to a second visit to the school, where the testimony was retaken and further corroborated by the interested pupils. Since then Prof. Van Horn suddenly lisposed of his interest in the schooland started for Europe, where he is at present, and it is said that the character of the charges are such that he will most likely be sent for to answer them before a state tribunal. Some of the tes- timony relating to his department is of such a character as to exclude it from public print. In the meantime the work of investigation is progressing, and a full report is expected in the near future. I arcane TRAITORS TO THE LEAGUE. Mr. Parnell Regards Those as Such Who Advocate Dynamite. After Tur Star's report closed yesterday the cross-examination of Mr. Parnell by Sir Richard Webster was continued. Mr. Parnell said that he sometimes paid money from his own private account in behalf of theleague. He did not ob- ject to an inspection of his accounts. Attorney General Webster here began a pro- tracted examination of the witness as to his banking transactions, but failed to elicit any thing of note. Being further catechized upon his knowledge of Gen. Millen and other members of the physical force party, Mr. Parnell declared that a majority of the members of that party were utter strangers to him. He had never heard that Mr. Egan had joined the Clan-na-Gael. He would regret to find that Mr. Egan had re- joined the physical force party, but he should not think such a course unnatural, THE GARBLED REPORTS. Referring to his speeches made in America, as reported in the Jrish World, witness said he could not accept the report as correct. Mr. Ford garbled the speeches in order to suit the taste of the readers of the Jrisk World. Wit- ness had never made this statement publicly before because it was not necessary. Recurring to secret societies, Mr, Parnell said he considered that a person who joined the league and continued to be a member of the Clau-na-Gael acted to the injury of the league’s policy. Any member of the league who would advocate the use of dynamite would be a traitor. et eee Abducted by His Father. | belonging to Prin: | out giving bat confusing the young minds and rendering them | 4T® suspect to a process of secret | | of an African Fa: easy task part where tl: > intermixture and intermerria races has obliterated or obscured all national types, on such questions avers that dark eves pre- dominate in this city in the ratio of seventy- five in every hundred, while twenty in every hundred possess blue eyes, and the retaining five eyes are of light gray or hazel.
