How Stout Washingtonians May Become Sylph-Like and Willowy. The fat, plethoric gentleman was sad. The fresh, warm, balmy air of approaching spring cooled his heated face from the open office window. But the contemplations of summer with sorrow and longings for an arctic voyage. He regretfully looked down upon the bolster of superabundant tissue under | his veet. “I wish I didn’t have to carry it around,” he said ruefully to the thin gentleman with the friars’ fringe around his bald head. “I'd do most anything to get off about two-thirds of it.” “Pll take it off for you, and without drugs, too,” said the thin gentleman with the fringe. “No massage?” “Not a slap or rub.” s starving?” ‘at twice as much. he fat gentleman's mouth moved in silent thanks and his eyes shown behind their. ram- parts of tlesh. “No bag punching, Turkish baths, gymnas- ties, banting treat: it or sweaters?” “Nixie.” “No fannel waistbands, tread mill, health boxing lessons, dumb bells or Indian “Noap.” “Til agree—hold on, Tl if I'm not to be placed m the hands of @ pro- fessional pugilistic tramer.” And the layers of fat ou the ilorid cheeks turned almost white yy for the drinks— said the thin man; “exchange of the boys who, with an extra horse, meet the Pennsvivania avenue herdic way on the block between 14th and 15th reets and ran with the horses up the Treas- ury bill toG street. if you don't lose 100 pounds in one week I'l! pay—” interrupted the stout man mournfully, UU pay for ‘em again myself.” ae HIS SOUL WAS STIRRED. An Inci nt in St. custine by the Sad Sea Waves. “I witnessed a little scene on the veranda of Ponce de Leon, St. Augustine, said the curly-headed drummer with the dreamy eyes, “that stirred my very soul, for, being » bachelor still, my soul is susceptible to a mus- tard poultice of love's emotions. It was the story of the man, the girl and the dog re- reversed. “He was idly pulling the ears of an intelli- gout, sharp-nosed Irish setter. Hecaressed the dog affectionately, and as he placed his arm around the animal's neck and squeezed him warmly to him he said: ‘Oh, Dick. how I love you. “She was lost in the depths of one of these great easy veranda chairs. enveloped in acloud of fufly summery white stuff, her pretty, deti- eately ‘tnted cheeks and wavy brown hair fanned by the soft breeze from the white- sea beyond the nodding palms and graceful banana plants. They, including myself, were scattered about the veranda, as is usual at winter resorts, killing time. “*How generous you are with your caresses this morning; I wish some one would vay that to me,” the red lips murmured, and the white Ince at the throat rose and fell ‘a trifle faster. “He pushed bis pet from him and arose. So | did she, with » startled, almost terrified ex- | pression. ‘There was a short struggle, the two | rms in the black coat encircled the white | ives, the little dimpled chin was pushed up a red lips were covered by his with the rapidity of « man who covers the limit when he holds an ace full, “Of eourse be was her husband, and as e of us made a dive for the nds and the sad sea waves to find out were saying about it I heard her | How could you, Jack, before all these | ‘erm of Service of Government Clerks, To the Eilitor of The Evenine Star: Tam an employe of the government. Ihave been asked by some of my fellow workers to express our views of the bills presented and statements made in Congress by Mr.De Armond | and Mr. Martin. I therefore ask to have space in your paper for a few plain statements. Mr. Martin's bill, providing ‘That whenever any person shall have held a place in the classitied service for four years such person's tenure of office shali be deemed to have terminated at the expiration of such four years” and that no person shall be eligible for more than eight years,” is plainly introduced for strictly partisan purposes, ‘That it lacks all the ele- ments of business principles every person with a grain of intelligence will acknow! Can Mr. Martin mention a single dry goods com- pany that makes ita rule to discharge all ite clerks after the latter have been im its employ eight vears? Will be please mention a single railroad com- any that makes ita rule to discharge all its rakemen, engineers and conductors as soon as they have completed eight years of service? Suppose there was a company that discharged its engineers and brakemen as soonas they had verved it eight years and filled their places with new men. Would the company make any money? Would not the public avoid traveling on ite lines because of danger to life and limb? Mr. Martin would probably be one of the first to advocate a law foreing «uch a company to retain its skilled and trusted employes, on the ground of public safety, providing such a law ‘rere constitutional. “Will he pl name a single business company of any sort whatsoever ' that proceeds on the principle that eight years constant, faithful wervice are deemed full and sufficient cause for discharge? The proposition contained in Mr. Martin's bill unbusiness-like, and, therefore, to use Mr. De Armond's expression, “un-American.” Ob- | jection should be raised against bis bill on the ground that the longer a mm works at a given line of work the more skillful he becomes in it and the fewer mistakes he will make; also, no new man ean take hold of the work of handing the mass of papers and documents of all kinds found in government offices without being slower and making more mistakes. than those accustomed to handling them. Objection could also be made by the political majority in Congress on the ground that, if passed, it would oust many of their own political belief. The civil service examination is the fairest method vet introduced to produce an equable distribu- lion of the «ubordinate positions of government among the different political parties. Pally one-half of the employes with whom I am acquainted in one of the departments are democrats, and they were democrats before the election, too. Many of them have been in office fully eight years and others have come in during the past four years. The partisan spirit that has been exhibited in this government from Andrew Jackson's famous partisan sub- stitution act to the inauguration of the civil service examinations is equal to the spirit of religious bigotry which prevailed previous to the verge of the eighteenth century. It was imply a change from the religious bigotry of the seventeenth century to ital hig. otry of the nineteenth century. ‘men who denounce the religious bigotry of the past and yet advocate the political bigotry of the pres- ent are hypocrites, for they are carrying out the same principles they denounce in others. The bills and amendments intended to nullity the spirit of the present civil service law are the embodiment of political bigotry. E. ©. P. ear WILL SAIL IN A Box.

An Organization to Control the Output of ‘Western Pennsylvania. says a Philadelphia Press special, a great coal trust or combine, which, according to one of the interested opetators, will be able to give thegiant Hocking valley combine ‘‘cards and spades and beat it out.” A combination of all the railroad mines in western Pennsylvania, to be known as the Western Coal Company, is the project of the local operators. It is now almost completed and a call was issued Saturday for another meeting of the operators. ONE HUNDRED MINES TO BE UNITED. Fifteen million dollars 1s the lowest estimate put upon the amount of capital of the combine. On the different railroads there are no less than 100 mines, all of which are ex to come into the combine, and the majority of them have stepped into line. Three meetings of the oper- rs have already been held. Many of the seventy-five who attended these have come | from Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit and Youngstown, Ohio. ‘The meetings have been conducted with the utmost secrecy. At the last the following com- mittee was appointed to get into the combine the companies on their particular line of road: John Blythe, the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston railroad; D. W. Van Emman, Thomas Hackett, Joseph Watkins and J. W. Shields, the Baltimore and Ohio mines; C. H. Weisser and | T. E. Young, the Pittsburg, McKeesport and Youghiogheny; R. B. Large and W. W. O'Neill, the Pittsburg and Belle Vernon: William Bead: ing and E. W. Powers, the Pittsburg, Chartiers d Youghiogheny; J. H. Sandford and Alex- der Patterson, the Panbandle; Frank Arm- strong, the Chartiers Valley; Rodger Hartley, the Saw Mill Run; N. F. Sandford, the Moon Run, and N. A. Andrews, the Montour mines. PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE. Since the committee started to work they have made satisfactory arrangements with fifty- eight firms. Oneof the members of the com- mittee said yesterday that the combino had no | connection with the Hocking valley one, and that it would not enter into competition with it; that it is independent and has been formed | for the sole pu of getting a uniform price for coal as well as reducing ex He would not say anything as to whether or not it wag the intention to raise the price of coal, simply stating that that would be farther along. — WORKING FOR HARRIS, | Detectives and lawyers from for and against Carlyle W. Harris, who is now | in the Tombs, New York, convicted of murder- | ing his young wife, Mary Helen Potts Harris, by morphine poisoning. D. D. Choate, a representative from District Attorney Delancy Nicoll’s office, left Asbury Park yesterday with a score or more of affidavits, | which he secured from intimate friends of the | murdered woman, refuting the claim mado by Harris that his wife was a confirmed mor- | phine eater. ‘These affidavits will be presented to Recorder Smyth when the application for a new trinb is mad ‘A detective employed by Harris’ lawyers t several daysat Asbury Park last week. | He was unable to secure any evidence which | would be of atiy importance and left in disgust. | Mr. Potts, the father of the murdered woman, | is working hard to prevent his son-in-law ob- taining a new trial.

A Great Rush Made by Those on the Natural Arch at Niagara Falls. Visitors. photographers and the shanty men at Niagura Falis beat a hasty retreat from the ice bridge to the shore, leaving every- thing and thinking only of their lives,vesterday afternoon. The cause of this was n movement of the heavy ice bridge, caused by the great | Yolume of ice which had come down from Lake | Erie and piled up in stacks on the upper margin. Now and then the great weight would cause the collapse of hundreds of tons ef the ice and it would sink and go rushing underneath the bridge, causing a cracking, grinding noise as if the bridge was breaking up. The water rose in the river and with the ice pr ire made the bridge undulate as if an earthquake shock had | struck it. Every one thought it was going out and on it fled for a place of safety. Amateur photographers who had their cameras planted did not even stop to bring their machines, but ran like deer for the shore. One man turned and shouted to another to bring his camera and then lit out for safe quarters. After acareful inspection of the situation it was seen that the bridge was in just as good if not better shape than before, and the crowds returned, the amateur photographers recov- ered their property and blanched frightened faces relaxed into a smile at the scare. ALL QUIZT AT PINE RIDGE. Indian Chiefs Kejoice at the Punishment of the Murderers. Pine Ridge agency has resumed its customary quiet. All developments yesterday confirm the | prediction telegraphed Saturday night that there would be no danger from discontent among Pine Ridge Indians, caused by the murder of the four cowboys on Friday, as re- ported in Saturday's Stan. Without exception the prominent Indian chiefs at Pine Ridge severely condemn the kill- ing of the white men and rejoice at the swift vengeance that was visited upon the murderous band of red men. Certain news; correspondents hy exaggerated the trouble and sought to make the conflict the beginning of another Indian war. But the peaceful attitude of all the In- dians, save the small wandering band that had brush with the cattlemen, makes such reports |1udicrous. The Indians at the agency were ‘never better natured or more contented than ) now. Footing It to Washington. Apold man dragging sled after him, on which were two boxes anda bag, says the Phila- | delphia Press today, was the strange sight that met the gaze of a twenty-seventh district officer at Cedar Mill, above Frankford, on Saturday evening. From the top of the bag there‘pro- truded an American flag. The old man gave the officer his name as Charles E. Berghoff Ho said the bag contained the flags of all na. tions and the boxes bis own ap} : | my way to Washington.” he said, “to see Presi- dent Harrison and have Congress pass a bill to annex Hawaii.” The officer thought the man was insane and called a patrol wagon and bad him and his baggage taken to the Tacony police station. He there informed Lieut. Dungan that he had pulled his sled from Summit, N. J., 100 miles, over the now. An examination of his effects showed that he had in the sack an assortment of supper andabed forthe night. Yesterday morning he left on his way to Washington.

From the New York Sun. ‘Ordinarily the handshake is regarded as: an evidence of friendliness on the part of those who perform the operation, but when two pugilists, prepared for a desperate contest, clasp esch other by the hand the action loses all its friendly significance and becomes noth- ing more than a hollow mockery. ‘Two men have signed articles to fight to a finish, which means until one or the other has deen pummeled so hard as to be unable to continue, ach i colecuia’ to infct as much physical injury on ‘opponen! as be wie a due for the rules under which they battle, and yet before they begin the work of battering each other they shake hands with a great show of apparent friendli. ness. The spectators are of course aware that the fighters are simply going through a form, and sequent battle will lose none of its fiercerters because of the show of temporary good feeling. While the preliminary handshake is some- what farcical, the ceremony performed at the close of the ‘contest is the most pronounced | burlesque. When, the last round is over the exhausted combafants are dragged to their corners by their seconds, and the work of sponging and rubbing the fighters goes on orously. leanwhile the referee, with knotted brow, is pacing about the ring endeavoring to decide which had the best of the encounter, and where & fight has been close this is no easy task. Having decided, the referee whispers to the an- nouncer, and the latter holds up his hand asa signal for quiet, and when the buzz of talk has ceased the announcer says: “The referee de- cides that Bangs has won the fight.” ‘Thereupon theres. loud yell from tho per- sons who bet their money on Bangs, while those who wagered cash on the other fellow express their disapproval with hisses. The referee has become used to that sort of thing, and he merely smiles at the hisses. It is when the announcer |hhas spoken the name of the victor that the | pugilists become objects of exceeding Interest. While waiting for the decision the contest ants, if not too badly injured, sit with their necks craned forward in an effort to catch the first word. When the successful man hears his name spoken he springs from his chair, and, with a look of extreme pleasnre on his bruised and bleeding face, rushes across the ring to the corner where his opponent sits, seizes the hand of the latter, and wrings it with an air of the greatest cordiaiit, The defested pugilist sits sullen and disap- pointed. He feels that he has been robbed by the referee and he permits the other fellow to | doallthe handshaking. As a matter of fact the winner does not shake hands because of a friendly feeling for his defeated opponent, action being more in the nature of @ sponta: neous outburst of exultation over his own vic- tory. | Occasionally where one of the contestants is the nerveless hand of his victim and climbs out of the ring. ‘The tew minutes between the time’that the contestants enter the ring and the beginning of | the fight are full of interest. The pugilists sit in their corners, and before each stands a sec- ond, who fiaps a towel in a lazy sort of way in front of the fighter's tace. ‘The principais have coats thrown over their | bare shoulders, in order that they may not be- come chilled’ before hostilities commence. | Then the work of putting on the gloves begins. |The seconds first push the hair away trom after which they pull it on the hand and tie it at the wrist, so there is no possibility of a slip. Then the announcer says the spectators will lave to stop smoking or the fight will not go on, With a general growl cigars are smudged, upon which the reveree looks at the men and asks if they are ready. A nod in the affirma- ive, and he remarks with emphasis, “Shake ‘The men rise from their chairs, their cover- ings are snatched off by seconds, and the pugil- ists meet in the center of the ring and ehske hands, according to the instructions of the ref- hen they turn aud start toward their | corners.

From the New York Sun. more intricate forms of wrestling hand wres- tling has always been a favorite. It affords an excellent opportunity for healthy exercise and is not dangerous. » The first cut shows the posi- tion to be taken by the wrestlers preparatory to the start off. Atthe word “go” each man endeavors to force his opponent to lose his bal- ‘ance 80 as to be obliged to move one of his feet. Thi s constitutes « throw.

Another way is to turn about quickly toward your left side, if using your right, raise your opponent's hand so that itis over your right shoulder; then lean for- Yard and pall bard. This can be used by « short man better than by one of larger size. ‘The second cut shows a very ‘ordinary throw. opponent's is faced backward and drawn out to the side directly away from him, 80 a8 to make him lose his balance. Still an- other throw can be made by pulling backward and to one side, so that your hand comes di- rectly in front of the body; then push it away outwardly. ‘The best position to take is the one shown in the first cut.

Many Towns Under Water and Much Prop- erty Destroyed. Incessant rain for several days has caused floods throughout Queensland, Australia, Part of Brisbane is under water. . People are desert- ing the low lying districts, as many houses are sabmerged to the second floor and the water is still rising. The tows of Bundsberg, Ipswich and Bundamba are suffering severely and are threatened with total demolition. The inhabitants have deserted the houses, and those who have not fled to the higher land havo taken refuge in trees or on the tops of the highest buildings. All domestic animals and hundreds of cattle have been drowned. A large loss of human life is reported, but noth- ing definite can be ascertained as to the total number. A mine near Bundamba was flooded and several miners were drowned. In Ipswich many houses have collapsed. Goodna is entirely under water and the inhab- itants have taken refuge on the hill Hun- dreds are homeless, without shelter and without food. ‘The loss of property is enormous. Cat: tle have been drowned by the thousand. Rail ways have been washed out and telegraph lines have been broken. All regular trains have ceased. Most railways have stopped running. a. POISONED AT A WEDDING. ‘Two Unwelcome Visitors Thought to Have Been Given “Dosed” Beer. James Sullivan aiid Martin Kearney of Pitte- ton, Pa, were poisoned at a Polish wedding Saturday night. They were passing by the house where the wedding was being held, when they made bold to enter. The Poles did not like this intrusion, They thought they were constables bent on arresting some of the party. The two men were invited to drink some beer and accepted the invitation, When they started to return to their board- ing house they became sick. Sullivan wan- dered to the track of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western railroad and was run over and killed. ‘Two physicians are trying to save Kearney's life. oe = GROUND UNDER THE WHEELS. A Man Kun Down While His Foot is Fast in a Frog. ‘The frightful spectacle of a man held fast in | a frog on the main tracks of the Reading rail- road until ground to death beneath the ponder- ous wheels of a locomotive was witnessed on Saturday evening at West Falls, near Philadel- phia, by a number of people. Under the flick- ering rays of a large electric light that hangs across the track, combined with the glare of the headlight of the rapidly approaching ex- press, the unfortunate man, who was Henry forts to save himself from the death that fol- lowed a few seconds afterward. . ‘The engineer saw the man on the track after he had rounded a curve and instantly blew a “clear the track” signal. Hartzel did not leave the track and the engineer made a hasty ap- plication of the air brakes, but the train was traveling at the rate of forty miles au hopr. and when it was stopped the victim was ground to pieces. Portions of the body were found along the railroad across the Schuykill, from where the man was pinned to the frog, to the east side of the river, a distance of more than 100 yards. Park Guard Harry Haldeman of $031 Dakota street, who was stationed on the eastern end of the bridge, was the first to reach the tracks after the train had passed by. Hartzel’s right foot was found so tightly wedged in the frog that force was necessary to remove it. The leg was cut off above the ankle and the shoo which covered the foot had the upper part torn away, The remains were gathered up by the train hands and placed in a box. ese NO PROTECTORATE WANTED. What Col. Ashford, Formerly Commander- in-Chief in Hawall, Says. Col. Volney C. Ashford, ex-commander of the Hawaiian forces, isin Chicago. He is of th opinion that the United States must either an- nex the Sandwich Islands or let them alone. A protectorate, he declared, will be so distasteful to the Hawaiians that they would in all probability prefer an independent republic or evena return to the government of the deposed queen, “Either annexation or nothing,” he declares. “It ulmost seta me wild,” he said last night, | | provisional “to sce the United States take this thing so calmly.

It bas been we cigrenep ne al ta eee Daily at 7 p.m. from the foot of 7th st. for Fortress that the British inhabitants of the = Sandwich Islands are more numerous than the Americans and“that therefore British in- fluence is above par there. ‘That is a very great mistake. The Americans are the most numerous, and the desire for British rule or for annexation to the British empire amounts comparatively to nothing. “Even the British residents of the islands re- alize that the commercial prosperity of the Sandwich islands liesin annexation tothe United States. Mr. Marsden, one of the gentlemen now representing the provisional government at Washington, is a British subject... He and I often argued ‘the question of annexation, he against and I for it, He realizes now that unless the islands are annexed to this country that their prosperity —_ is gone and he hae gone to do what be can to save them from the utier ruin which stares them in the face. ‘That does not look as if British rule was desired there. “I do not believe that Great Britain will file any protest against the annexation of the islands by the United States. They are of no partical consequence to her at present, beyond the advantages of a naval coaling station, but they may be of vast importance to her in the future and she knows it. However, she does not care enough about them at the present time to make any trouble. If the United States does not accept the Sand- wich Islands she will make the greatest mistake of her history. They are hers by every right and she should take them.” ‘The story that Spreckles was behind the rev- olationary movement was ridiculed by Col. Ashford. RIVAL IRISH MEETINGS. Parnellites and McCarthyites Nearly Come to Blows. Rival meetings of Parnellites and anti-Parnell- ites were held about 100 yards apart in South- meath, Ireland, yesterday. While William J. O'Brien, M. P., was addressing the anti-Par- nellite meeting Patick O'Brien, ex-member of parliament, climbed down from the Parnellite trugk and ran over to the other meeting just in time to hear the speaker say that the men who got up the Southmeath petition did fouler in- Patrick O'Brien shouted: “That is a lie.” ‘The anti-Parnellites’ turned on him, but before they could hurt him the priestsand police inter- fered and got him ont of the way. GONZALES CAPTURED, Capt, Francis Has One of the Leadersof the Border Outlaws Under Arrest.
