Hvan of Philadelphia was also e > lecte < l a vice presi dent to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Rt. Rev. Stephen N. Hjan. A committee from the National Associa tion of Letter Carriers appeared before the guicral committee with a petition urging the continuance of a postolllco department order , which provides that no carrier shall bn discharged from the seivlco until he shall have had an opportunity for defense , also that for promotions do the olllce of Mipciliitciiilent of carriers carriers alone shall be eligible , also that If It Is Intended to establish an Inspector force for the supervision of the letter carriers that snld Inspectors shall servo at least live jears In the classified service. The petition was lefcrrcd to the committee on resolutions. President Pioctor of the civil service commission nddrcnsed the delegates on the Viorklnga of the civil service law. At the afternoon session a number of papers were read. MM. Charlra Ilusacll Lowell of New York spoke on "Tho Relation of Women to the Reform of the Civil Service" Mra. Lowell aft out with the statement that as New York had the unhappy distinction of having oilgl- nated the spoils Bjstcm , It was natiii.il that thellrat association for Its reform should have been formed In that state. Thin was In 1S77. The woman's auxiliary to tills New York association was formed only a > ear ago She declared that , however great ma > be the cause for gratitude for the many victories won by the caiwe , the war Is not yet over , and the spoilsmen , driven to bay , arc , in Now Yoik nt least , preparing for a determined attack upon the very life of the leform. Mrs. Lowell urged that the objec tion to the separate existence of women's auxlliatlcs wart not well known because more Intr-icst could bo aroused by having more than one organization She argued however , that the women of other states should reduce the membership fee fiom $5 to $2 or $1. In oilier to secure a largo mem bership NEED FOH THE COMMISSION. Dornian n Eaton spoke on "Civil iScrvlco Commission Essential to tlu Civil Service Reform. ' Mr. Eaton began his address with the statement that the enemies of civil scrv- Ice rofoim in the Mate of Now York arc pre paring for a combined assault upon that s > e- lem at the nt\t session of tlio legislature and that If It should prevail , disaster would usulL to the reform policy of the state. The dliect object of the assault Is to deprive the state commission of essential power over the evamli.atlonj , , he t > ald , and If possible to supersede the commission altogether Mr Eaton continued "The most difficult cases to deal with liavo been where aa for example In Haltlniore the local officers and the local patty managers out of olficc , have been side by bMo In seciet to-operntlon with each othe" . Iheicforc. to hand over to either of them the control of the examinations would bo the merest stuptdltv " The speaker concluded as follows : "If Mr. Morton couhl be governor for two jcars more the struggle of the spoilsmen for supremacy would -be made hopeless and the abiding triumph of reform would bo achieved. Much good de pends upon whether Mr.'Black , the new governor of New York , shall decide to lead the higher or the lower forces of hl party ; whether he Khali takp patronage mongcring Governor Hill for his model and court his shameless nnd Ignominious fate and that of his parl.v or shall rbe to the level of Presi dent Cleveland and President Harrison , of Govu > ior Morton nnd of all the governors of Massachusetts , the latter of whom vetoed eveiv bill which thieatened reform In their state " Francis E. Lcupp of Washington spoke on "L" . the Poor Spoilsman ; Hlo Da > b Num bered In the Indian Service. " Mr. Leupp nt the outset told the story of the emergence of the Indlin service from "spollo barbar- IMII.

For a rem edy fcr this trouble wo ahall probably have to await two changes a reform In the method of choosing the higher officers nnd the moro general settlement of the western country. " "FOUR YEARS' TENURE. " Lucius B. Swift cf Indianapolis spoke on "Four Years' Tenure" Mr. Swift opened with a recital of the achievements of the merit cistern In the federal cervlce during the past thirty jearo under the leadership of this league. Ho wld that ono reault alone was the transfer from the field of politic : ? to the field of the wagfenrnor of about 100- OW fif the host places In. that service "Tho final establishment of the merit system , " suld ho , "had left much of the federal servIce - Ice In a curious condition , meet of the under- emplo > es of high efficiency and long experi ence , whllo the heads have I CM because they weio generally appointed within four ycairi and were almost universally without knowl edge of Oielr duties. This Is beciuse there Is alwaja a place to reward real er alleged service In carrjlng the election. " He said In conclusion "Mr. MeKlnley Is not free In the matter. He Is so bound by his plit- fcrm as to leave hli' sincerity to bo nucy- tloned. He must take up the work where his predecessor left It and go forward to the mul. To urge that four-year commission ! ) or four-year customs stand In the way would bo hut childish excuse * . The first principle to be laid down hy President MeKlnley | i > that there are no ollloeu to bo divided a. spoils The second principle Is the same and the lat't Is llko unto It. " "Civil Service Reform In the West" was the subject taken by John Ela of Chicago. The speaker said civil service reform was gradually icmodellnB ptlmltlve political machinery and Intioduclng business meth ods In the government throughout the mid- illii west. The action of the Illinois legis lature In pasclni ; the civil service bill a jcar ago last spring was by no means ns spasmodic as It seemed to the gentlemen of the cast. One of the most notable effects of the civil service law was that the of fices In the city hall were no longer crowded with politicians after places for themselves or friends and so all the officers , from the major down , were allowed to devote them selves to the Interests of the city ; whereas , foimerly a very considerable portion of their tlmo was absorbed In parceling out the plunder "I Irtiovv > ou will permit mete to say without Implying nny discourtesy whatever that the atmosphere of the west seems moro congenial to the growth of civil service reform than that of the cast. In the west the growth of the reform In all Its aspects seems to bo rapid and continuous , end jet healthy , and It Is already cropping out In practical legislation In many of the Btalc.t. In Chicago we shall got the entire city service under the rules within five yours after the passage of the law oven If wo have to change the political complexion of an ndmlnlstiatlon sometimes on put pose to do It " ADOPT SOME RESOLUTIONS. There wan a heated discussion this after noon over ono plank In the resolutions when they were offered by Chairman nont- pirto. The plank which caused the trouble was as follows : The Ignominious nnd well merited defeat of lh Uomocratlo party ut the polls nt the let-out election IH n nourco of gratification , Thcro were half a ilrucn delegates on tholr ( cu Hcnimbllng for recognition before the lr.s < word waa out of the speaker's mouth , Colonel Ela of Chicago asked that the para graph be stricken out , as he know Buvonvl person * who voted for William J. Ilryan for president who were In hearty accord with civil service reform. N. H. Davis of Cincinnati also opposed the objectionable plank The resolutions were finally referred back to the committee , nnd when they came before the convention again the obnoxious paragraph had been stricken out. The reao- Unions adopted are as follows : 1. The National Civil Service Reform ir > ugue\ flotnbled In this. Its rlxteenth nn- mini meeting.

The league renews Its recommendations that the legislation reeiulslto to place the municipal government and other local of- Ilces of the District of Columbia within the opi ration of the civil .service law bo en acted. 7. At Its last annual meeting the league lie.inl with pleasure of the commendable attempt of the postmaster genet.il to ex tend the bemllts of the classified service to many postmasteis of smaller postolllces by consolidating their offices with those of the larger cities In the vicinity. This meas ure held out the promise of a consldi'nhlo saving of public money and a marked in- cion o in mail facilities , beside applying the meilt system to a portion of the public "ervleo whoieln Its Introduction Is at once most desirable and attended with serlnus difficulties. The league has slnre seen with regret and Indignation the practle-al frus tration of this judicious me-asure through the selfish and unscrupulous hostility of certain senators and ri pre entatives. a hos tility clothed under v ulous frivolous lire- texts , but which could be Inspired only by a desire to use the public patronage as rewards for peisonal adherents or pirty woikers. and It uiges upon congress that this eminently pinctlc.il it-form bo no longer delaj ed.

U. Teddy Halo still lends the slx-diy race , but Is not to far ahead but ho may yet be passed. One change wan made In the positions of the riders to day. Porster passed Itlco , who had been second In the race for three days. Foiatcr gained otcadlly on Hlco , but dually fell hick and had to t < co his cxertlcna go for naught Ulce Is alpo very tired nnd shows unmlstako- able signs of collapse. Heading , fourth In the race , 1 ? riding steadily and Is holding out much better than was thought possible two days ago. Ho Is so uro In hlo present place and haa excellent prospects of Improv ing his t'tandlng. Torster's exertions today liavo cxhauiiteil him greatly nnd It Is not certain that he will be- able to keep up the torrlllc palt nt which the. leaders are push- Ing. Should cither of the three leidera let up Heading la certain to gel that place. When Hale , the Jilsh rider , completed his 100th hour he had exactly 1-tOO miles to his credit. That waa about 4 o'clock tins morn- Ing. Hla closest rivals , Hlco nnd Forster , were four hours later In making the same number of miles. " All the riders except Hale were out at 9 o'clock. The Irlsnman waa then 140 miles ahead of the record , and the other flrflt eight were also bejond It. Forster rode very erratically during the morning. At 2 o'clock he tan Into Schock and both tumbled but remounted rjulclcly and rcaumed the race. Three hours later Forster collided with Hlce , and Mndelox , who was a few feet behind , sprawled over both of them Fora- ter was then wained to ride more carefully and his trainer gave him some stimulants , but ho was stilt wobbly , and rode at acry slow gait for several hours. Most of the rldcra were on the track dur ing the latter hours of the morning. Hlce dismounted shortly before 11 o'clock. Ho was looking poorly. Taylor was less cheerful as the morning wore on nnd even Hale had recourse to a sponge. MeLcod seemed In hotter spirits after ho had passed Click. Schock was riding smoothly and Forster was again In second place at 11 o'clock , having passed Rice v.hllo the latter was resting. Hlce was so weak about 1 p. m. that he fell off his wheel , but ho plucklly remounted and rode around fast again. Halo turned Infer for a rest nnd then reeling oil eighteen mllra tween 12 and 1 o'clock. He passed the 1,500- mlle mark shortly before retiring. At 1 o'clock more than half the contestants In the race had over 1,130 miles to their credit. ATTCNDANCn , ON THH INCREASE. Fully 5,000 people , the largest afternoon crowd of the wcck were In the garden at 3 30 o'clock. P ter Grundy , the announcer , mounted the Fourth Avenue bridge at 3 o'clock nnd made It known that Hale was then leading tha record by 135 miles nnd three laps. Thereupon the crowd cheered wildly. Schock dught to get the first prlro for gameneasAt 4 o'clock he had been In the saddle continuously for thirty-two hours , and altogether ho has not rested more than four < and a half hours. It Is scarcely to IK > doubted that had the cham pion's stomach not gene wrong ho would have been Hole's principal rival. The rcconJrbreahlng scores of the riders and the Interest [ naturally attaching to the last hours of U 9 trace served to bring out on unusually ; largo crowd early tonight. At one mlnute1jinst S It was announced that Hale had ma.de , 1,600 4 miles. Prolonged cheers greeted the announcement , nnd a largo basket of Honors was handed to the Irishman , which ho carried around for a few laps. The former record for six days made by Schock was only l.GOO miles. AH the riders spurted for several minutes after this , amid vociferous cheering from the audience. At S 15 Moore and McLeod had a collision as they were turning a curve at the eastern end of the track. Doth wore thrown off and Mooie seomcij to bo hurt by the fall , but In a little while he was able to mount his wheel again. At S.50 Ashlnger and Maddox started a lively spurt.

As a result of a secret meeting held In the mayor's olllco vesterdav afternoon thp water woiks" ordinance * " did not come up in cno adjourned council meeting last night. Most of the coiincllmcii were present In the after noon , together with City Attorney Council , Superintendent Hunt of the water company , and their attorney , R. S. Hall. The ordi nance was discussed nt some length , but the majority of the council were studiously si lent. Henawa made a vigorous demand for home concessions from the water company commensniato with the advantages that It would derive under the proposed ordinance. The witor works people Intimated that they were willing to make some concessions , but did not specify what they would be. The subject was finally dropped with nn under standing thnt the ordinance should not bo passed last night , and that another meeting would be called In the mayor's olllco Mon- ilay afternoon. At the council meeting the protest of the Commercial club against the proposed ordi nance was lead. To offset this the water company had a huge etoek of petitions signed by propeity owners requesting the council to pass the ordinance. The peti tions had been worded to convey the Im- IMei-sIim that the paswngo of the ordinance meant unlimited employment for labeling men nnd most of the signatures were these of working men who had evidently been "mpict-scd with that feature. The Doaid of Public Woiks again called attention to the fact that the Capitol avcnuo sewer was entirely Inadequate to the de- nands on It nnd the , communication was rc- 'eneil to the committee on soweiagc. The rcjiort of C J.

The suierln- [ emlcnt recommended that ne.\t joar about 123 stnllsbo provided with Iron frames cirry- ng a covering of ducking or mine similar nntcrlnl that would kc-ep off the rain. Thu report was placed on file and the comptroller - " was directed to transfer the balance to the % general fund. Another coal dealers' ordinance was Intro- iluced and laid over. It provides for aa annual llucnra fco of $20. The November bills of the electric light company , the Acme Street .Lighting company and the Omaha Gns Manufacturing company were approved and ordered pJhl aa soon aa funds are available. \ new peddlers' ordinance was passed , tvhlch IH designed to protect local gnidenora rom the competition of outfldo men It re- inlres all pe ddlers and fruit venders to pay a license unles.i they nuke affidavit that they raise the produce themselves. The ordinance which provides for the Issu ance of $31C,900 In renewal bonds to tnko up the short time bands that mature during 897 was favorably reported nnd pa ed. The council then wont Into committee of he whole to dlsciiDj Kmcnt'B house moving ordinance , which has been on the files since Match. The result was n reference to the committee on public property and buildings. HorxrHctM ( 'impcr Into Trouble.

In doing so the wagon clashed Into another vehicle belonging1 to Mr. McNalr.

Sucli things , when they happen , nre published far anel wide. They nre considered well nigh miraculous. Is ft . ' any less wonderful when a man is cured of / n disease prcMtmcd to be fatal ? When phy- Ricians bay to a man that he cannot live , he considers himself just about asgooel ns dead , lie can almost feel the coflin closing upon him. And yet , frequently these men who arc sentenced to death by their doctors , nre raiscel up out of their sickness to perfect , hearty health. Dr. I'ierce'sOolden Meelical Discovery lias lifted thousands of men and women right out of the grave. After doctors had given them up , they have in desperation turned to this great remedy , nnd to their great astonish ment have found themselves Retting well. Skepticism in regard to this wonderful medicine has cheated many a man out of his health. If people could only be made to believe the truth about the " Discov ery , " half the sickness could be avoided and cured. The "Golden Medical Dis covery " will cure ninety-eight per cent. of nil cases of consumption.
