While these remnant sales include articles that are soiled, scratched and otherwise not strictly perfect, they also include short ends, odd sizes, broken lots and the like—highly desirable styles of the season’s newest goods for personal and home uses—marked at such low prices as niake them rare bargains.

TEXT OF THE MEASURE IN FULL The House Committee on Reform in the Civil Service. MR. BROSIUTS’ —_—_+ —_— WORK The preposition te create, ovt of the cur- rent salaries cf employes, a retirement fund for Cepartment employes is taking tangible form in the House committee on reform in the civil sesvice. The chairman of the committee, Mr. Brosius of Penneyl- vania, has prepared a bill which will be considered at a meeting of the committee tcmorrow. A summary of the measure was published in The Star day before yester- day. The bil! in full is as follows: That, beginning with the 1st day of July, 1897, 2 per centum of the salary of every employe in the classified service of the gov- ernment shall be withheld and shall be de- ducted from his or her monthly pay, and shall be deposited in the treasury of the United States to the credit of the civil serv- ice retirement fund; and the money so de- posited shall constitute a fund which shall be known as the civil service retirement fund, and which shall be held in trust by the Secretary of the Treasury, to be ex- pended for the retirement of employes in the classified civii service of the govern- ment and for certain expenses in connection therewith. Sec. 2. That at stated periods to be fixed by the Secretary of the Treasury, at least once annually, the unexpended ce of mongy to the credit of the said civil service retifément fund, or so much thereof as in the judgment of the Secretary of the Treas- ury will not be required for the purposes of this act during the ensuing period, shall be by him ested in interest-bearing bonds of the United States, which when so pur- chased shall become assets belonging to the said fund and the interest on which shall be credited to’ the said fund as an incre- ment thereof: Provided, That such bonds may be sold whenever {t shall become nec- essary in the opinion of the Secretary of the Treasury to procure funds for the pur- poses of this act, and the proceeds of suci sales shail form part of the cash in the said fund and shall be avajjable for all the purposes of this act. ec. 8. That on and after July 1, 1901, the employes in the classified civil service of the government shall be retired from duty, as hereafter provided, and, when so retired. skall be entitled to receive from the said civil-service retirement fund, in monthly payments, an annual retired payment equal to 75 per centum of the highest pay re- ceived at any time while in the civil service of the government. First. Every person in the classified civil service who shall have been employed in the civil service for a pericd of twenty years and who shall have become physicai- ly or mentally disabled for the performance of his or her ordinary official duty may be retired vpor his or her application, or may be compulsorily retired, and when retired shall be entitled to receive from the said fund the retired payment hereinbefore pro- vided: Provided, That the said period of twenty years shall be computed from the original employment of such person in the civil service of the government, whether as a classified or unclassified employe, and may include service in one or more depart- ments of the government, and periods of service at different times, with an interval éuring which such perscn was not in the service, may be computed together so as to constitute a total service of twenty years: And provided further, That in cases of mental disability an application for retire- ment may be made by the next friend or guardian of any person who shall be de- clared non compos mentis.

MARBLES. The President Stops Hix Carriage That They Might Not Be Harmed. which happened lays ago dese to be re President and Mrs. Cleveland were driving on the Glenwood road near the woods where several families of wanderers have pitched their tents. This is known to the citizens of this vicinity as the “gi camp,” and in the road many small, r ged little urchins were playing marbles. As the President's equippage drew near the group, the driver, motioning the chil- dren to disperse, raised his whip to rush 20k- or forward at al! hazards. The children, treasuring their playthings more than their own lives, shouted frantically, “Oh, mister, mister; please, please don't over our marb’es. Please don't.” This would have been passed unheeded by the driver, but the President» quickly rose and ordered the coachman to stop. This was done, and then the children were told to gather up their marbles. All the while they kept looking at the occupants of the carriage with grateful smiles on their dirty faces. Mrs. Cleveland returned the smiles, much to the delight and gratifi- cation of the little gipsies. When the mar- bles had been hurriedly restored to their owners, the President drove on, followed by the earnest shouts, “You're awfully good, mister. You're awfully good, mis- ter,” coming from little fellows with un- kempt hair and torn clothing, and used to the hardships of a wandering life, who gazed long and eagerly at the receding car- riage and the “awfully good mister.” Lit- tle did they know that it was the President of the United States, Saaes NS A Suggestion for the Jackson Demo- crate. To the Editor of The Evening Star: - Surely the millennium is drawing near, if the reports of the committees arranging for the inaugural ceremonies, on the 4th of March, are correct as to the sentiment pre- vailing to make it truly a non-partisan affair. The fact that the cruel war is over will, we hear, be emphasized by the ap- pearance cf uniformed confederates in line. This seems to me to show the right spirit. The election is over and the President has been elected. The minority, and it was a respectable one, should for the time be- ing at least bury all the asperities of the past, and join in making the inaugural ceremcnies an object lesson to the na- tions of the earth, by showing that the pecple can forget their political bias when seating “a government of the people, by the people, for the people.” This was the spirit tavght to a number of republicans on the evening of Grant's second election by the late John E. Norris, the predecessor of our James L. Norris in the presidency of that time honored institution, the Jack- son Democratic Association, for over a querter of a century. Mr. Norris was near a crowd of the victorious party when the toast “Ovr President, U. 8. Grant” was proposed. Mr. Norris advanced, saying: “Gentleren, I run will join you in that senti- i iei0t °§
