Hall of Brooklyn was unanimously elect- ed president to succeed Rev. Dr. Hastings, who resigned, Dr. ‘Hall met the directors and faculty of the institution at an infor- mal reception, held in the library of the seminary building, at which some interest- ing allusicns were made as to the probable policy of the institution under its head. After congratulating the students upon the election of Dr. Hall, Dr. Hastings al- luded to tne feeling on the part of the fac- tion in the church which had become op- posed to the institution during his admin- istration. Dr. Hastings continued: “If those who oppose us think they are going to gain anything against the independent feel- Dr. Hall, they will be mistaken, “Dr. Hall has been with me all through these years of conflict and trial, and I know that he has stood like a rock. d, especially an ecclesiasiical coward. I like to see men take a manly stand, and I think that people will see that I have been nothing to what Dr. Hall will be in facing all enemies, whether it be a session, pres- bytery or even a general assembly. “The church will find that we are all tight.

Regulations Said to Be Harsh—In- fustice Alleged in the Rat’ of Mechantes. During the last year, and until quite re- cently, a large number of mechanics and laborers have been employed in building construction at the Washington navy yard, and it is said that many are dissatisfied with the conditions imposed. The condi- tions complained of were detailed to a Star reporter by a mechanic who has been em- ployed there for some time on the extensive building repairs made during the last year. He said: “The regulations in the Wash- ington navy yard, as they apply to me- chanics of my craft, are an attempt at civil service which is neither civil nor service- able. While the mechanic and skilled la- berer who applies for employment is not subjected to a civil service examination, rules and regulations are imposed which have not the merit of civil service. “At present the revised navy yard order jo. 26, which was issued by Secretary lerbert May 1, 1896, contains the instruc- tions to applicants for employment, and tkey are the only condit‘cns under which an applicant can procure work when his services are desired. “The order commits the employment of mechanics and laborers to a board, consist- ing of three commissioned officers on duty at the station, which is designated the ‘beard of labor employment.’ An appli- cant is required to register with this board, which will furnish him with prescribed blank forms, upon which applications must be made. The three necessary forms, which must be properly filled and filed proved’ a very | With the board are: An application or form 17, a character certificate or form 19, and a trade certificate or form 20. “In making application for employment the applicant is required to state the date of his birth, the city or town of his actuai residence, his post office address, if he is a citizen of the United States and if nat- uralized, if he ever served in the army, navy er marine service of the Uniied Siates, where last employed, in what ca- pacity, and how long. “These questions constitute form 17, which, after being signed, must be sworn to by the applicant before a notary in the office, to whom must be paid the usual fee of 25 cents. The applicant is then weighed, his height ascertained, and his complexion Mrs. James A. Allen at this plaice. The Mterary | noted, all of which is duly recorded. “Form 19, which must also be filed with the application, is a ‘character certificate,’ which must be signed by a former employer or other person. They are required to cer- tify that they have known the applicant for a stated period; ‘that he is able-bodied, of good character, and of sober and in- dustrious habits; and that in those re- spects he is qualified for employment in the ‘The person who signs this cer- tificate is notified that he may be called upon to furnish further information con- cerning his knowledge of the applicant. “Form 20, which is a ‘trade certificate,’ when properly filled, would read as follows: “To the Board of Labor Employment, ‘Navy Yard, Washington, D. C.: “I hereby certify that I have known John Jones, living at Washington, -D. C., for ten years; that I have employed him as a first- class carpenter for five years; that he is able-bodied, of good character, and of sober and industrious habits, and in every respect qualified for employment as a. first-class carpenter. “This form, after being signed by a former employer, with those of 17 and 19, after being filled, places the applicant on the list of eligibles for one year, and the name of each applicant registered is cer. tified for employment in the order of regis: tration, preference being given veterans.

He denied, however, mean- ing to employ a beiligerent spirit toward | by-the quarterman, and his wages se: any individual or body of individuals, and said that the institution would be a peace- loving and peace-seeking one. “We do not attack or disparage other persons reaching conclusions from our own in matter of doctrine or life, but what we shall welcome is a sim- ilar manifestation of Christian courtesy on the part of brethren in the church every- where,” he addek +24 Against American Flour. As an illustration of the unfair and con- sctenceless methods that a certain element among British millers are using in the ef- the growing importation of flour, United States Corsul Belfast, has forwarded to the American at trade papers making the broad charge that all of the American flour is adulterated. According to- this remarkable statement the adulterant is cornmeal, which is so finely ground as to defy detection when mixed with flour. The very whiteness and purity of our flour 1s cited in proof of the charge, for it is said that as the British millers can make oniy yellow flour from Indian wheat, the Americans must add the cornmeal, which {s of a blueish tint, as a corrective to make their flour white. The consul says this sort of argument is used in different parts of the kingdom with cvil effect. ——_____-e+ Infringement of Paten The ordered a bill to be reported to the House which defines the jurisdiction of the United class workman, upon the voucher of some reputable employer, and the further fact that the applicant commands the highest rate of wages paid to those of his craft on first-class private construction, he is rated Jed in accordance with the classification of the workman. The quarterman, who has no knowledge of building construction, is the absolute judge of the qualifications of the ‘differiag | Mechanic, and ‘there is no appeal from his decision. It is stated that during the con- struction of the molding shop, which was completed a short time ago, that of a force of twenty-five bricklayers employed, two- thirds of them were rated as second class and paid reduced wages. “This was regarded as being unjust, as many of these mechanics were generally considered by competent employers as first- class workmen, and had been paid the highest rate of wages. Another very in- consistent feature was the certification of the quarterman, who is also inspector, that the work in every respect is constructed in a first-class manner, and yet the work- Jepartment of State extracts from Irish | MM is listed as a second or third-rate me- chanic. At the discretion of the quarter- man the rating of the workman may be advanced, after the first pay day, after which full wages will be paid, or he may remain classed as an inferior mechanic, so long as he is employed in the yard, though there fs no marked difference either in the quality or quantity of his work when compared with that of the workman who is entered as first class. “While we admit that a code of regula- tions is necessary, and that they should be impartially enforced, we assert that some are harsh and unnecessary. An employe, so far as the business end of the yard is concerned, loses his individuality as John Smith and is known only by a number, which is stamped on a brass tag, which is his passport to employment. These tags House committee on patents has | 4 arranged on a board each morning, and the employe is required to lift his tag twice a day, before 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., and deposit it in a sealed box.

Two Strangers Go ty'n Nebraska Hotel and Turn op the Gas. A mysterious double suicide has occurred at Grand Island, Neb. Two well-dressed men arrived in that city from the east and inquired for the best hotel in the city and only, one registered, saying one would do for both. The name on the register is very. vague, evidently made so purposely, but it looks like R. A. Newcome, and the residence as Billings, Mont. About noon yesterday the two men were found in their room dead, All the gas jets in the room were open full, and one jet placed very high up and of which no possi- ble use could have been made for lighting purposes, was also open. Neither had any baggage other than a small grip, which contained nothing but two shirts,2nd a few collars. They were all new gnd bore the stamp of a Chicago Grm. With this exception there is nothing to indicate whence they came. The coroner's jury could obtain no Nght on the case,and returned a verdict of sui- cide. Both are tall, fine-looking men, dress- ed in dark suits. One had a full beard, and was of sandy complexion, and probably five years the senior of the other.
