The petition presented by the ordinary clerks to the Civil Service Commissioneis, wherein the clerks asked that they be al- lcwed to retain their standing and that the standing made by the newly appoint- ed clerks will not affect theirs, was denied by the Commissloners, who provided, however, that the old clerks might be permitted to take the second examination in order to better thelr average, but if their average fell below their former average they could still retain their first average. —_—————— IN THE REDWOODS.

The first production in this city of the scenic melodrama, “Devils Island,” drew a crowded house to the Central last night. The play is founded on the main incldents of the famous Dreyfus case. The author, however, has availed himself of the usual dramatic license and instead of De Ja| Tour (Dreyfus) being a victim of his brother officers his downfall is brought about by Russian secret agents. Captain Maurice de la Tour (in reality Dreyfus) is wedded to Paullne, a niece of General Regand, chief of the War Department in Paris. Prince Boris Orloff, a wealthy Russian holding a commission in the French navy, is a rejected suitor of Pau- line and consequently a bitter enemy of her husband.

Some idea of the great sigg of Philadel- phia may be gathered from the figures in the department reports just printed. There are in the city 1147.71 miles of paved streets, besides 412.29 miles of un- paved roads in the suburbs. All but a small percentage of these streets have modern “improved” pavements, of asphalt, granite block or brick. The paved surface would make a continuous driveway thirty feet wide from here to the Missiesippi. There are beneath these streets 91 miles of sewers. They would form a con- tinusus water course as long as the Ohio River. The streets, with 318 city bridges, are lighted by 9426 electric arc lights and 33— 409 gas and gasoline lamps; 1413.6 miles of water pipe‘convey water to 22,506 prem- ises; only 11,788 premises are not supplied with city water. There are more than 00 miles of conduits for electric wires, rep- resenting more than 5060 miles of ducts, and there are still 18,189 miles of eiectric wires in the air, sustained on 61,891 poles. There are 435 miles of street railway track, enough to reach from the Delaware River to Lake Erie. Yet how few Philadel- phians know more of this great city than the lttle space within which their own daily interesis lie.—Philadelphia Ledger. ———— Bacteria as an Illuminant. “A bad lobster in a dark cellar,” as we all know, emits a ghastly phosphor- escent light. And now Professor Hans Molisch of Prague has reported to the Vienna Academy of Sciences the discov- ery of a lamp lighted by means of bac- teria, which he claims will give a power- ful light and be free from danger, thus . A prominent Southern lady, Mrs. Blanchard, of Nashville, Tenn, tells how she was cured of backache, dizziness, pain- ful and irregular periods by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “DeAr Mrs. PingaAM: — Gratitude compels me to acknowledge the great merit of your Vegetable Compound. I have suffered for four year: with irregular and painful menstruation, also dizziness, pains in the bac end lower limbs, and fitful sleep. I dreaded the time to come whick would only mean suffering to me. “Batter health isall I wanted, and cure if possible. Lydia E.

Iam sat- isfied there is no medicine so good for sick women as your Vegetable Compound, and I advocate it to my lady friends in need of medical help.”—Mgs. B. A.
