LADY CLERKS IX WASHINGTON',
Women clerks are disappearing from
the departments in Washington, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph.
It may not be many years before a
woman will be a rare sight in a depart
ment. Slowly, but surely, they are be'
ing got rid of under the civil service sys
tem. They are not now seen walking
arm-and-arm through the treasury cor
ridros or standing by the windows at
noon time with their cups of tea. Jt is
not that tbev are closer to their desks.
Thev are not there.
Since Secretary Manning first took the
reasurv tvorttoho and ttie new order oi
things was begun nearly 20 per cent, of
the women have gone and hone nave
come in Uieir places, w nen a icmaie
lerk dies or gets married, resigns or is
dismissed, a requisition goes to the civil
service commission for a man to fill the
vacancy. I was asking w hy this was if
t was true that women did not make as
good clerks as men.
The reply was that some oi ttiem made
better clerks than did the men. The
trouble did not lie in that. The fact is
thev are hard to deal with. Most of
them depend upon the gallantry of the
superior officers and are constantly ask
ing favors, many of ttiem not Hesitating
or seeming to think it improper to ask
ugh officials even as high as secreta
riesto make false statements or violate
the law in their interests. The most
trouble is when examining them for pro
motion. Some have not hesitated be
fore hand to ask for a list of
the questions. So persistent are
some that it reflects upon the
whole clasH, and the departments have
entered upon a systematic effort to get
rid of them.

Clergymen seem especially addicted to
this habit .perhaps because their excessive
anxiety to tie correct renders them nerv

who are gifted with a keen sense ol the
ridiculous such slips are excessively try

AS MANY WOMEN AS MEN.
There are still a few theorists who jus
tify polygamy on the ground that more
women are Wn into the world than men,
but the tbeury has long been exploded.
August Bebel, in his remarkable work,
recently translated into English, shows
that iii ten states, with a population of
2-"0,0)O,0Oi.l, the excess of females over
males was only 2,.VHI,000; and when we
remember the extent to which men out-nuniU-r
women in the colonies, and the
fact that in India there are t;,iKt,(Mii mure
men than women, the natural inference
is that if the inhabitants of the eiirtld
were ihs'riouted according to the sexes,
men and women would tie found to exist
in about equal proportions. All the

Out of a Clear Sky.
For several years two entirely differ
ent ideas have been associated in my
mind in what was to me for a long time
a mysterious way.
I read somewhere in a book of Mexican
travels a startling account of a happy
wedding party assembled in an adobe
building which was struck by an enor
mous aerolite that killed everybody and
buried the building out of sight in a
twinkling.
In one of Walt Whitman's poems
there is a line, "Where the lilacs last in
thu'dooryard bloomed." I have never
read or heard that line, but instantly
comes up in my mind the picture of that
awful event in Mexico. Invariably the
perfume of one suggests the dire and sul
phurous cruelty of the other. 1 here are
no lilacs in Mexico. Nor is there any
mention of flowers at all in the naive and
terrible story of nature's dramatic ca
tastrophe.
Will you tell mo why a fleeting scent
of spring flowers brought with it a picture
of pampas grass, a sound of mandolin, a
half Spanish song, a bride in black lace
and yellow skirts, a group of happy,
swarthy faces and a thunderbolt
that buried them all forever and instant
ly in indistinguishable ruin?
You cannot. And it is my purpose to
tell you that is why 1 have written this
paper.
II.
In the late spring of 1884 there was
living at Dobb's Ferry, on the Hudson,
near the city of New York, in a very
pretty half-Swiss cottage that glowed
warm with redwood shingles through the
lilac bushes, my friend Binninger. I
used to go and see him quite often, for he
had the ideal home of the romancer. His
was the only perfect realization of love in
a cottage, unmarred by any of the dis
turbing elements of life, that 1 have ever
seen.
He had married a beautiful girl, with
whom he had fallen in love. He had
won her in spite of wealthy rivals and
the opio8ition of wealthy parents. J i ie
whole courtship was a kind of beautilul
infatuation. He had a good position in a
commercial house in Beaver street, New
York, and on a moderate income they
had furnished this little home and settled
down into that holy selfishness which
benignantly regards the rest of the uni
verse as subsidiary and contnbutive.
And the rest of the universe apjeared
to have aided and abetted the dream.
Everything bloomed and glowed and
sung for them uneventfully. They were
so radiant with love themselves that they
made the world shine. And 1 don't
think any body of either sex could have
watched them billing and cooing up there
over the blue Hudson like a pair of rob
ins without feeling a kind of happy envy,
mixed with a protest against the decrees
of fate for having concentrated all human
happiness in one pair.
Lou, as be called her, was literally a
radiant woman. Her pale beauty was of
that beamy order that emits an aureole.
i ou never could quite uivest vourselt of
the notion that a lambent, psychic light
fell on things when she looked at them.
She was, 1 suppose, that perfect equi
poise of gentleness and sweetness and
tenderness that the poets have found no
other name for than woman.
Mrs. Sherman, who used to drive up
there from the Clock Tower House, called
her an "alabaster lamp." 1 stood there
on the graveled path one afternoon ad
miring the bush lilacs that hung drowsy
in their own perfume in great masses
round tke porch, and she came and put
her bright face through them to see who
it was. She lit the scene in an instant.
After all, flowers and sunshine itself were
only lraiues lor that lace, i remember
the shade of disappointment that crossed
it. She thought Binninger iiad come.
Such women pierce every man with
tinv darts made of his own un worthiness.
III.
But the aerolite! Yes. Well, listen.
Do vou recall the 2!th of Mav, 1SS ?
Let me remind yon of two things that
occurred in New York. In the tirst place
we had one of those unreasonable hot
spells that sometimes visit us for two or
three days in the spring. People fell
down in the streets, struck by the
sun as if with a bludgeon. Then there
was a kind of incipient riot up town.
aused by a strike of railroad men.
It was a Friday morning. The shadows
ol the hiacs were dancing across the
white cloth on the breakfast table in
Binninger s cottage. A bobolink was
pouring out a bravura air exultinglv on
the rail ot the porch, i ou could near
the stroke of a steamer's paddles on the
river below, hvery thing at this early
hour was drowy and cool and musical.
Binninger sat there at the table, drink
ing his eohe and trying to look at the
morning paper at the same time. Lou
sat opposite at the same table, drearily
watching him.
In a high chair, rather prematurely,
was the curly headed Binninger, trying
to bit the dancing shadows with a spoon
"Jack," said .Mrs. Binninger, with a
pause. And Jack threw dow n the paper,
and with his cotiee cup in his hand re
garded her with concentrated admiration
and tenderness.
"I'm going to the city to-day."
"I la, ha!" he cried. " "'Pon my won
I believe you're afraid to tell me what
vou want.
"No, no," she replied quickly, "I don't
want anv thing; it s not that,
"isn't" it?"
"No, no. 1 must go down to the dress
maker's, and I've some shopping to do.
But 1 can t wait and come back with vo l.
I must hurry home bv - o'clock. oii'll
not mind, will you ?"
"Yes, 1 shall niinu, he said. lo
know vou are coming, and into that
dingy old office at 4 o'clock, makes the
whole day light. Must you go?"
"i real I v must. I want my dress for
Sunday, and there's a lot of other things."
"Well, he said, getting up and look
ing at his watch, "by Jove, I've only got
seven minutes to catch that tram. Uood-
by, Bobbles!" and he kissed the curly
headed boy, put bis arms round his wife,
seized his hat, stood there at the door a
moment and came back and kissed her
again.
"Jack," said she, "if you don't think I
ought to go"
"My dear, if you must go, don't lie
foolish and tire yourself out running all
over town, and don't, on your life, fail to
be here when I come back. iood-by,
I've got to run for it. There's the whis
tle!" He got as far as the little gate. Some
thing seemed to call him back. It waaj'j'reet, chased by the police. Some of

turn. The bobolink was calling on the
rail. .He heard Bobble s voice in the
hreakfast-nx)m. The bright morning was
full of inarticulate voices. But he did
not understand them, and a moment
later he was running down the hill to the
train with a happy heart.
Could be have interpreted the voices I
think this is what they hai! said :
"Don't let her go! Don't let her go!
Don't let her go!"
IV.
Seven hours in the counting-room. A
long desert of calculations broken by a
half-hour's oasis of lunch at Delmonico's;
a passing word with Saunders, who asked
after Ijoii. Saunders had been in love
with her himself. Two minutes with
Brainsby on the corner, who said he had
got his steam launch and was going to
drop in at Dobb's Ferry some day with a
cargo of presents for Dobbles.
An hour's worry over a firm complica
tion, in which one of the partners had
been unreasonable and curt ; one by one
the hours, full of hard application, molted
away. The voices of the newsboys told
him the afternoon papers were out. Slow
ly the day, which had been an exasper
atingly hot one, drew to a close. F'our
o'clock came at last, and he was flying
up town to the Forty-second street depot.
There was the usual crowd of business
fellows on the train. They talked horse,
steamship, oil. They were light-hearted,
careless and communicative, and the
train dropped them all along, at Yonkers,
Kiverdale, Hastings.
At a few minutes past five o'clock Bin
ninger stood on his gravelled walk. He
had a little surprise in his pocket for Lou.
He waited for her to put her head
through the lilacs. He had grown ac
customed to this little luxury of expecta
tion and impatient welcome. (u
For the first time he was disappointed.
But in the three or four seconds that he
stood there making a noise on the gravel
with his cane, he noticed how strangely
still the afternoon was against the blithe
ness of the morning. Then he went into
the house with a sudden eagerness.
Bobbles was tied in a high chair at the
window, his head hanging over on his
arm. His eyes were red. He had evi
dently cried himself to sleep. The table
stood empty in the middle of the room.
He had pictured the dinner waiting and
the copper tea urn singing and steaming.
The voiceless place maddened him.
"Lotty," he cried encouragingly, and
then imperatively, stamping his foot.
Lotty put her head through the kitchen
door, looking a little scared.
"Where's Mrs. Binninger?"
"Shure, and thin she's not come yet!"
"Well, where's the telegram? Why
don't you give me the dispatch ?"
"Indade, there's nary dispatch at all."
He was losing his temper. Hedamned
the country telegraph service.
"Get the dinner on the table. She'll
be starved to death when she gets here.
I'll go down and get the dispatch."
"Nothing here, sir," said the girl at
the telegraph office. "I'd a sent it up if
there had been."
He'd wait for the next train. It thun
dered along in a few minutes. He told
Charley Purdy to w ait with a hack. She'd
be too tired to walk up the hill. He saw
the crowd get off'. His wife was not
among them. His restlessness was
growing at a frightful pace. She must be
on the next train.
The harder he tried to think himself
into a reasonable condition of calmness
the more resistless became his fears, and
his helplessness made him furious. The
one sharp thought that kept singing in
his mind was: if she had been detained
she would have telegraphed. Her first
thought would have been of me and my
anxiety." Then he began to realize that
he did not know exactly where she had
gone in the city. He telegraphed to two
or three friends. The answers were
cruel "Have not seen her to-day."
Train after train came along. It seemed
to him that every man's darling was com
ing home except his. It was o clock
belore he knew it. Ihe sun had gone
dow n iM'hind Piermont and the river was
bloody with color. His growing impulse
was to take a down train and fly after
icr. His reason held up the city, with
its million eople, and reminded bun
heartlessly ot the needle in a haystack
He tried to laugh at his fears; called
himself a fool. But no sooner had he
done so than up rose with terrible dis
tinctness the great, sweltering city, with
its myriad dangers, its colliding life and
deatti and the possibility ol his darling
having fallen into some snare or met
with some accident. Jie invented a
thousand absurd reasons to account for
her absence and silence, and thev only
added to his misery by their ingenious
shallowness.
At 9 o'clock a new and terrible idea
was springing up in his mind in Spite of
every effort to keep it down. It was
this: "She will never come back."
lie heard i5obbtes crying as tie ap
proached the cottage, lie felt a cold
sense of something down in his soul, as
if a relentless iron were working its way
into his consciousness.
He walked the floor with his teeth set
as though to keep the phantoms of his
imagination back.
And so the long night passed with no
wife, and only the sobs of the child, wak
ing at intervals and calling for "Ma."
V.
As wain an it was lil't 1-otty went over
and brought Mrs. Chamberlain, a neigh
bor. She looked at liiimintrer with con
cern. His whole face had changed.
"What a bov vou are," she said; "lx)ii

has neglected to w ire yon because she ex-
lectei to come back, i oil are borrow-
trouble. It s annoying, but certainly
not serious. 1 ve itune it niysell. l ou

and I'll stay here till she comes, and
then telegraph you." This is the slap on
the back of the hearty man when the
Ijell oi doom is tolling in your soul.
Hie aerolite had fallen.
The next day passed hojielessly and
helplessly.
lju lie er came back to the cottage.
She was lying there on a slab in the
morgue, waiting to Vie identified.
Ixive was searching the earth for her,
and made sure tu come at last, when all
other hope gave out, t this ghastly finale.
1OU had hurried across-tow n from her
dressmaker to see a maid w ho had ad
vcitiaed. She had lieen compelled, on
account of a Btreet disturbance, to get
out of the vehicle and walk. In Forty
second Btreet at 1 o'clock she fell under
the rays of the sun and was carried into
the hatlwav of a tenement house. Ten
minutes later a mob surjred through the

on such occasions took refuge in this
house. One woman pulled the dress
half off the insensible lady and wrapped
her own dirty and ragged shawl about
her. Hough men fought over her body.
She was mistaken afterwards for one of
the same class, and an ambulance car
ried her to the hospital, where she died
I while Binninger was waiting for the 8 :31
train.
I went up to the funeral. I didn't
know Binninger. He looked so tired and
frightened.
But I shall never forget the strange
odor of those lilacs. I stood there and
saw them carry out the coffin and heard
Bobbles somewhere upstairs sobbing and
calling.

OATAKItH to CONSUMPTION.
Catarrh In its destructive force stands next to
md undoubtedly leads on to consumption. It Is
therefore singular that those afflicted with thia
fearful disease should not make it the object of
ihcir lives to rid themselves of it Deceptive
remedies concocted by ignorant pretenders to
medical knowledge have weakened the confi
dence of the great majority of sufferers in all
advertised remedies. They become resigned to
alifoof misery rather than torture themselves
with doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met
it every stage and combated with all our might.
In many cases the disease has assumed danger
ous symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the
nose, the organs of hearing, of seeing and tast
ing so affected as to be useless, the nvula so
elongated, the throat so inflamed and irritated
as to produce a constant and irritating cough.
Sanford's Radical Cure meets every phase ot
Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages. It is local
and constitutional. Instant in relieving, per
manent in curiDg, safe, economical and never
failing. Each package contains one bottle of the Rad
ical Cure, one box Catarrhal Solvent, and ao
