Couldn’t Climb a Ladder. When the. announcement 'was made some time ago that among the many applicants for a position in the War De- partment at Washington, the only one who successfully passed the civil ser- vice examination was a woman, but that on account of her unfortunate accident of birth she was denied the appoint- ment, a howl went up all over the coun- try. Now, however, the announcement is made that she was rejected not simply because she was a woman, but hscauee she couldn’t climb a ladder. An apology to the examining board is of course. due from all those misguided persons who condemned the deci- sion, for, although an applicant for a clerkship may have a thorough knowl- edge Of English, French, German and Spanish, as this particular woman has, unless she can climb a ladder she has no business applying to Uncle Sam for a position. Whether she was examined a: to this accomplishment the officials omit to state. Had she'demonslrated to the examining board that she is able to scrmper up a ladder or clamber any- where a man is able to go. undoubtedly she would have rec 2ived the appoint- ment. gltis well to know what qualities of mind or feats of skill are required from i clerks in the War Department, and this woman’s rejection with the announce- ment now of the cause, gives fair warn- ing to all aspirants that none need ap- ply except those who have passed through a preliminary training in lad- der-c‘imbing. -—oo-» Quick Relief from Rheumatism.

SALT LAKE CITY, March 2.—What ap- pears to be a genuine volcano has burst forth in the great Salt lake a short dis- tance southwest of Promontory station on the Central Pacific railway. The phe- nomenon first appeared in the form of a Small cloud hovering over the water about 1% miles from the shore. It gradually increased in dimensions and shot up so high in the air that it is now visible for a great distance, while the water in the im- mediate vicinity boils and seethes. Pi ntes After "Grosser-I." SAN FRANCISCO, March 2.—-The murder of a Piute medicine man near Bagdad, on the Colorado desert, in California, by a Mexican has aroused the red men, and se- rious trouble is feared. The medicine man diaplayed money in a barroom and was de- coyed by a Mexican to a Mexican village and beaten to death. The Indian’s squaw learned of the murder and carried the news to a. Piute camp near Bagdad. The Mexi- cans have fortified themselves in the rail- road ooal bunkers. Grip In New York City. NEW YORK, March 2.—-The board at health has reported that grip is now preva- lent in this city. It is in a much milder form than when it was last epidemic here. So far only a few deaths have been reported from grip—less than a score in two weeks. . It is not likely that grip will cause much of an increase in the death rate this year, but the board of health advises every one to be extraordinarily careful not to catch cold. Great Britain and Belgium. LONDON, March 2.—The Globe says that it understands upon high authority that great tension exists between Great Britain and Belgium on the subject of the de- mands of Great Britain for indemnity as a result of the imprisonment of Ben Tillet, the Englishman who was arrested at Ant- werp last year charged with promoting a. strike. Belgium, The Globe says, has re‘ fused to pay an indemnity. Cambridge Degree For Women. CAMBRIDGE, England, March 2.——.The syndicate appointed by Cambridge uni- versity to consider the question of granting degrees to women has presented its report. While it is not prepared to recommend that women be admitted to membership of the university, it recommends that the title of B. A. be conferred by diploma upon women who have already passed or here- after pass the final tripos. .
