A. R., today filed a suit wiih Justice of the Peac. C. Mills against Mr. Thos. E. Benedict, whd today retired from the office of public printer, claiming $:00 damages. While no declaration or bill of particulars was filed by the plaintiff, it is understood that he bases his claim for damages on his alleged dismissal by the public printer in 1804 in violation of the civil service rules. Justice Mille issued a summons against |. Mr. Benedict, requiring him to appear be- fore him at noon Tuesday next to answer the suit. This summons will be served upon Mr. Benedict this afternoon, and it is expect- ed that between now and Tuesday he will request Justice Mills to require Mr. Rhodes to file a bill of particulars, t= ting forth therein the grounds and details of his claim for the damages demanded. Mr. Rhodes 1s one of 700 employes of the office who were removed by Mr. Bene in 1884. He purposes tn his suit 28 Mr. Benedict to test the effic clause in the civil service law which pre- scribes that preference shall be given to old soldiers in the public service. It is claimed by Mr. Rhodes’ friends that his case is an unusually strong one, because his record in the office was far above the average. After his dismissal he took a civil service examination and was cer- titled for appointment under the regular civil service rules, and is thus employed in the office at the present time. ees Suspended Sentence.

She was released during her good be- the therefore havior. ———— If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star. 1f anybody has what you wish, you will get an answer. —_ Wanted a Pass. “I'm broke,” said a man who called on Sanitary Officer Franix, “and,” he added, “I want to get a pass to Philadelphia.” “I can’t give you a pass,” the sanitary officer told him. ‘Are you a citizen of the United States?” “No, sir,” answered the applicant. Sanitary Officer Frank referred the appli- cant to the German ambassador, telling him that England's representative looks after his country’s citizens. Then the man pegan telling stories of prison life. Finally he said he had a litle cash, and the sanitary oilicer bought him a half-rate ticket, for which he paid. ——— Brought Into Ceurt. John A.

The court was, infgpmed that the man had declared that he would not obey the order, and that he ‘had stated he would leave this jurisdiction ‘Deford he would do so.

Mr. Hicks has filed papers and recom- mendations for J. W. Ensley of his district, who wants to be deputy auditor of the Treasury Department for the State De- partment. He is likewise pushing W. S. Hammond of Altoona for assistant secre tary of the interior. Another man in Mr, Hicks’ aistrict who is striving for a good place is Maj. Johnson of Somers county. He is a candidate for register of wills. Senator Fairbanks and the Indiana men have brought a new candidate in the field for recorder of deeds. He is Dr. S.A. El- bert, a prominent colored man of Indian- apolis. He had charge of the organization of colored voters of Indiana in the last campaign. Senator Burrows and ex-Senator Palmer of Michigan were callers. The latter is well liked by the President. He was for- merly minister to Spain, but didn’t like the job and came home. He is not thought to want any place now. What Senator Elkins Wants. Senator Elkins spoke to the President today regarding the application of Dr. W. C. Boteler of Kansas City. to be auditor for the War Department. Dr. Boteler is sald to stand a good chance for this place. On the other hand, it is also sald that M. 8. Farmer, a North Carolina man, has assurances’ that he will receive the ap- pointment. It is believed that one of the men will receive the nomination, although some other man may step in and run away with the prize. Ex-Representative Cheatham, the col- ored North Carolinan who is reaching out for the position of register of the treas- ury, went to the White House with a dele- gation of colored men who are backing him for the place.

A resolution was passed by the Senate yesterday authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to employ and place at the of the collector of the port of <a suitable vessel of the United States for the purpose of transporting to the famishing poor of India such contributions as may be made for their relief. The resolution will soon be presented to the House for it tion, and there are many interested Wash- ingtonians who are confidently expecting its passage and approval. The matter of sending food supplies to India is being taken up in earnest all over the country, A large 4,000-ton whaleback steamer, the City of Everett, been chartered by the Navy Department and placed at the disposal of the famine fund in the hands of the San Francisco chamber of commerce. erous donations of corn has Ge have been received for this cargo from many western states, including California, Illinois, Nebraska and Kansas, and th: great railroad lines of the west have given liberal transportation facilities. The Chris- tian Herald of New York is also raising a famine fund. Letters received from the stricken dis- trict. give graphic accounts of the ap- palling misery of the natives. The pinch is said to be growing daily more severe and likely to last until October at the least. Pundita Ramabai, a cultured Hindu woman, not unknown in’ this country, who is engaged in relief work, is quoted as saying: “The sad sight of aged men and Gelicate women stretching out their sore hands and begi to help them, pouring out their sorrow into your ears, and lamenting their sore fate, while their tearful eyes look straight into yours, to find out whether there is a particle of sympathy for them, is altogether too much to bear for a person having a heart of flesh. My girls and I are quite ready to forego all our comforts, give up luxu- ries and live as plainly as we can. We shall be quite contented to have only one med of common coarse food daily.” Chief Jus tice Sir Francis McLean, chairman of ihe government relief committee, Calcutta, in acknowledging the receipt of contributions warded through the Christian Herald the warmest thanks of the com- but says that the supjates are yet inadequate to afford the desired relief aud urges further appeals for addi- tional ald. ——____-e~. NO CHANGE INDICATED. The Director of the Bureau of En- graving and Printing. There are no indicaticns.of a change in the office of director of the bureau of en- graving and printing in the immediate fu- ture. A Strong effort is being made to take this office out of the classified civil service in order that the Secretary of the Treasury may have greater latitude in the matter of appointment. As it is now, the only way Director Johnson can be superseded is | restatement, transfer, promotion or ci certification. 'Ex-Director Mere- dith is the only one of the numerous out- side candidates who is eligible to reinstate- ment. ‘He is a veteran of the war, and lost the directorship when the democrats con- trolled the affairs of the government. Mr. F. C. Foster of Chicago, who made a strong race for the office of public printer, has now turned his efforts in the direction of the bureau of engraving and printing. In order to appoint him it will be necessary to take the office out cf the classifled service. oe THE GRANT MEMORIAL. Details of the President's Trip Being Arranged. Although the details of the President's trip to New York to attend the dedica- tion of the Grant memorial at Riverside Park have not all been arranged, there is absolutely no doubt that he will, barring illness, be in attendance. A special train has been arranged for, which probably will leave here on the evening of the 27th. The entire cabinet, the foreign ambassa- dors and cthers of the diplomatic corps and many members of the Senate and House will accompany the presidential party. President McKinley has a number of in- vitations to be present at memorial serv- ices on Decoration day, May 30, including one at Philadelphia and one in Missouri, pee pes not decided which one he will ac- cep! ——————~—._____ Seventh Son.
