CIVIL SERVICE SOORED.
Brown Attacks It While Discussing
the Pension Bill.
Washington, Dec. 11. —-The House 011
the opening of the session yesterday
agreed to set aside the session of Dec
18 for the delivery of eulogies upon the
late Representative E. D. Cooke, of
Illinois.
It was voted, on motion of Mr. Ding-
ley, that adjournment yesterday would
be until Monday next. 6»
The general Pension Appropriation
bill was then taken up. It is usually
disposed of at one session This most
unusual treatment of the subject is
due, not to objection to the bill in it-
self, but to the elitic1sms concerning
the abuses of the law and the flood of.
private pension bills which engage the
attention of Congress.
The discussion was not confined to
the Pension bill, but incidentally the
Civil Seivice law was made the. sub~
iect of review.
The debate was begun by Mr. Brown.
of Ohio. He complained that the Com-
missioner of Pensions was unable to
appoint an Examining Board in his
county that would do justice to the
vetc1ans of the war of 1861, “because
of the abomination known as the Civil
Service law.”
Mr. Grosvenor (Rep., 0.), said if he
could he would'abolish the pension-
ex. mining boards and much of the ex~
pe11se of administration in the Pension
0f. Ice and substitute a general— —service
pr. 11slon system, carefully safeguarded.
.Vlr. Grosvenor reviewed the 1ecords
0: the two parties on the pension leg-
islation of Congress, showing that in
the aggregate 1, 304 Republican votes
were cast in Congress for general pen-
sion legislation and but 2 against it,
while 412 Democratic votes had been
in favor of such legislation and 816
votes in opposition.
Delnocrat and Republican Caucuses.
Washington, Dec. 11.—Both the Dem—
ocrats and Republicans will hold cau-
cusses to- night for the purpose of out-~
lining their future policy rega1 ding leg-
islation. It is expected the Democratic
factions in the House will make an ef-
fort to come to an amicable under—
standing. In the Republican cauegis
the policy of the party 011 the Civil
Service question is expected to lead to
an exciting time. Gen. Grosvenor is
very earnest in his efforts to have the
law repealed, but the Republican lead-
ers will use their influence to prevent
the caucus from taking adv e1 se action.
HANGED FOR NINE MURDERS.
Atrocious Career of a Georgia Negro
Ends on the Gallows.
Macon, Ga.,‘ Dec. 11.—Henry Nersby,
' the negro who has been confined in
jail here under sentence of death, was
hanged in the jail yard yesterday. .
When Henry ascended the gallows
he said: “I don’ t blame the white folks.
, They have always been my friends;
. ,But I would kill negroes as long as I
lived.” The execution took place with-
out any further ceremony. “
The most satisfied looking lot of ne-
groes ever seen were those who wit-
nessed the execution .. They felt safer
that he was out of the way-
Nersby in 1115 career of crime had
killed nine men and wounded and crip-
pled as many more. All his victims
were of his own race, which, he said,
he abhorred. He not only admitted
haying killed three men, but his wife
gives authenticated instances of six
m01e. ’When asked for a. catalogue of
his victims recently, Nersby gave the
names of these three, but said there
might be'others, which he could not
remember.
He had never been touched by a bul-
let, but there was not an inch of whole
skin on, his chest,' so thick were the
knife wounds. He said he did not fear
death, as he had faced it so often that
he had become accustomed to it.
FITZ OUT OF FIGHTING.
Says He Will Not Give Corbett An-
other Chance.
Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. ‘11.-Notwith-
standing an interview with a repre-
sentative-of an afternoon paper, in
which Mrs. Fitzsimmons, wife’of the
champion pugilist of the world, was
made..~te.say...that..she1would put no
block in the way of another meeting
between Corbett and Fitzsimmons,
Mrs. Fitzsimmons, in a card, states
that Fitzsimmons will never enter the
ring again with her consent, and she-1
is sure he won’t without it.
Rock Island, 111.,
Simmons said the statement that his
wife who is now in Milwaukee, had
consented to his going into the ring
again, providing he would first meet
Corbett, was untrue. “My Wife never
said any such thing,” he said, “and,
even though she' had given her con-
sent, I would not give Corbett another
chance. As I have said many times
before, 'I am through prize fighting.”

There is a Iight way to do all things.
Every sufle1 e11 from catai rh should
know that it. is impossible to cure the
disease without using a remedy, that
goes at; once to the seat of the trouble;
and that medicines taken internally or
by inhailing 3.11 into the passages of
the head do not. cu1e, the fact that the
patient is all the time growing worse
is proof that the treatment. is all wrong.
Many that. have been under treatment
for vears and met. with disappointment.
instead of benefit are willing to doubt
that. there is any cure for catarrh.
The trouble 1s that. all of the t1 eat-
ment they have recei1 ed has been mis-
directed, and has not touched their
tumble. C‘ata1 1111 is a local disease,
and a. 1emedv is needed, but; it must. be
(rood one, which croes down to the very
bottom of the trouble and forces it out;
ther ef01e ointments, aii inhalants, in
fact nothing ,except. California Catamh
Cure, can have any eifect upon catarrh,
for it. is the only CURE which goes di-
1ect to the seat of the disease and pe1-
manently gets rid of it. This is the
only reasonable way to treat catarrh.
California Catarrh Cure has never
failed if used as directed to cure ca-
tarrh in all its form It has not even
a competitor \1- 01- thy of the name. For
all inflamed and catarrfial conditions

WONDERFUL TOUCH.
A Blind Man “’ho “forks for a Blind Man
and Does Good \Vork.
T. J. Lockwood of Buda, Ill., one 01
the business men of that place, being
owner of a men’s furnishing stOre, is
totally blind. The man who was the
buyer for Mr. Lockwood was and is J ‘
Oechsley. He worked for Mr. Loki:-
wood for'm'any years, and was one 01
the most important of his employes.
But one day «misfortune came to him.
Oddly enough, it struck at his eyes.
He was laid low with a nervous afliic-
tion, and when he was able to be told
of it the doctors announced to him
that he was to go through life in the
same condition as his employer. His
sight was gone and never would be re-
stored.
In the hour of his most trying ex-
perience, his old employer came to
him and the men went to the old store.
Mr. Oechsley knew the place by heart.
He was at home there, even if he
could not see, and as the days went on
he realizedthat all was not gone, even
if his sight was lost. He found that he
could tell as of old the differences that
lie in materials.
His hands seemed to have been given
an extra share of cunning, and in a
measure became his sight. Hey prac-
tised and grew more expert. His
whole energy was thrown into the
work he had put himself to do, and in
a short timeit was found that as a
buyer of goods he was almost as good
as before-the calamity overtook him.
The merchants and jobbers with
whom he deals know him. They would
not take advantage of him eyen if they
could. And they all admit that they
could not if they would. The hands
of this man are as goodand even bet-
ter in their way than the eyes of .most
men. He tells all about a' piece of
goods, no matter What it is, by feeling
the texture and finish. He is conside1-
ed to be a first class buyer, and when
merchants say this of him they add
that they do not take into considera-'
uon the fact that he is blind in passing
their judgment of this ability. —Chica-
go Times-Herald.
Reamtn’e Bible for a"‘Shifie "
The other Sunday morning in Wash-
lngto-n a gentleman sallied forth be-
limes to have his shoes polished, and
1; .ally discovered a coal black “profess-
,11," who was intently reading the Bi-
ble. “Hullo,” says'the early citizen;
‘give me a shine.” “Yes, I will, boss;
if you'll read this second'chapter of St.
lohn while I’se work.” “All right,” re-
spillided the gentleman; “go ahead.”
end he read aloud the chapter as re-
quested. “Thank. you, boss; guess you
read it straight,” said the old darky,
"an’ yer boots am right, too.”~Boston
Herald.
The Dusky Philosopher,
“1 'specs,” remarked “Rastus Snow,
