Great Contest Over Transfer of Employes to the Class!- ' lied Service.' MANY AMENDMENTS OFFERED Senator Lotfce Said It Was Evident That Census Office Employes Had a Good Deal of Political Influence Bill Comes Up Again Monday. SSSBBBasaBWa By Telegraph to the Horning Star. WASHMraTOS.February 15. During the entire session of to-day, the Senate had under consideration, tbe bill estab lishing a permanent census office. It was completed, but an agreement waa reached to take it up again immediate ly after the executive session that is to be held Monday next for the consider ation of the Danish treaty. The great contest of the day, of course, was oyer the transfer to tbe classified service of the employe of the Oensu office who are to be retained in the permanent establishment. It in volves the entire civil service question and the debate covered much of the ground that heretofore ha been gone over in Congressional debates. The pending amendment to the bill was that of Mr. Lodge, to amend the paragraph relating to the retention of employes so it would read, "that all employes of the 'twelfth census office at the date" of tbe passage of this act who are retained in the employ of tbe permanent census, above the grade of skilled laborer, shall ba and they are hereby placed without further exami nation under the provisions of the civil service act. In support of his amend ment Mr. Lodge argued that if all the persons at present in the employ of the Census office should be placed arbitra rily within the classified service with out further examination it would work a hardship upon those who had taken eiyil crvice examinations and were on the eligible list. la rrspouse to a suggestion. Sen atpr Lodge aaid it was perfectly evi dent from the profound interest in this measure both in the 8enate and in the House, that the census employes bad a irood deal of political iiflaence. During the discussion Benator Till man said laughingly that Senator and Representative would get their full bare of the appointment. He waa cure the Senator from Massachusetts. (Mr. Lodge) would, and be believed he himself would. "I hope o," re plied 8enator Lodge In the same vein. 'No t" Senator are more deaerv ing." Laughter "I am glad, of course," aaid Senator Tillman, "to be In such good com pa ny, but I afraid that when the sharing up cornea it will not be even." ' Senator Gallinger gave notice of an amendment declaring that person who had servtd as soldiers in any war in which the United States had en caged and the widows of shch soldier shall have preference in the matter of certification. Senator Scott declared he was op posed to the civil service system "from the start to finish" and that tbe whole system waa wrong in operation and In principle. Very soon, be thought, people in the classified aery ice would control the government. 8enator Lodge's amendment then was rejected without division. Senator Gallinger then offered hi amendment It was accepted by Sen ator Quarles, in charge of the bill, and it was adopted. . Many ineffectual efforts were made to amend Section 5, the confusion arising from the attempts becoming so amusing that Mr. Tillman facetiously suggested the point of order to the chair that "the Senate is so muddled that it could not pass a civil service examination and the members there fore would not be eligible to re-elec tion." "The chair is in doubt." said the President pro tern. (Mr. Frye), "and will have to submit the Question to the Senate." Laughter. Finally, on motion of Senator Me- Comaa the first paragraph of Section 5 was so amended aa to read : "That all employes of tbe census office ex cept unskilled laborers, at the date of the passage of this act, shall be and they are hereby placed without further exsmination under the pro visions of the civil aervice act." On motion of 8enator Teller, the bill was amended ao as to provide for an assistant director of the census at a salary of $4,000 per annum, and fur ther that tbe terms of aoDoinlmeht of both the director and assistant direc tor should be four years. Senator Dubois offered an amend ment providing that the director of tbe census shall collect any atatistics con cerning the buainessof trust or indut-'k trial combinations. The amendment waa rejected 17 to 31 the vote being along strict nartv line, except that Benator McEoerv. Democrat, Louisiana, voted againai tbe amendment. Senator Allison offered an amend ment eliminating tbe nroT sion for the collection of statistics concerning tbe production or cotton as returned by tbe ginnera. He maintained that cot ton statistics were now collected by the agricultural department and tbe statistics collected by the census office would be a duplication. Senator Tillman opposed the amend ment vigorously. He held that sta tistics of the cotton production now collected were not accurate "mere guess work" in many Instances By ob talning tbe statistics from tbe ginnera. he contended, it would be practically possible to know by Christmas each year just what the cotton production for the year was. He urtred that either this provision be left in tbe bill or that a sufficient sum be given to the secretary of agriculture to enable blm to take the statistics or cotton produc . tion. Senator Allison replied that the sec retary of agriculture now collected cotton atatistics from tbe ginners and from every possible collateral source and he presented a letter from the sec retary to that effect 8enator Berry annealed to Senator Allison to withdraw the amendment He aaid it was a question of such im portance to the coiton growing States as well as to the remainder of the country that the small expense invol ved ought not be permitted to stand in its way. ' - Senator Quarles urged that no change In the measure be made, as it had been demonstrated by experience that the atatistics collected by tbe cen sus office from the ginners were abso lutely accurate. Finally Senator Tillman offered an amendment In the nature of a substi tute for Senator Allison's amendment providing that the census director should issue monthly bulletins on the cotton production aa reported by the ginnera, beginning; on October 1st. No action waa taken upon tbe amend ments, the Senate agreeing to take up the bill and amendments immediately after the executive session of the Dan ish treaty to be held on Monday next. The Senate then adjourned. .

Fresh from tbe tree an orange la still very much alive, with the oil cells ex panded and the mystery of growth not yet suspended. Cut off from tbe aap supply, a change take place. Tbe skin draws closer to the pulp and gives off moisture that would cause sweating If the fruit were packed at once. But first these dust stained traveler must have a bath. By the bushel. If only this were the land of the good old bushel basket, the newcomers an dumped Into a long, narrow tank .of water at one end of which Is a big wheel with a tire of soft bristles. Tbe wheel revolves so that the lower edge works In connection with another set of brushes In a small er tank below, and the oranges, after bobbing a boot In the big tank, pass be-? tween the wet brushes and come out bright and clean. - This washer la a neat machine and does away with the more primitive yet picturesque method of hand washing. At some of tbe smaller packing houses may still be seen groups of wo men, sometime white, sometimes brown skinned, each with a tub of wa ter and brush, scrubbing busily away at the yellow piles that never seem to grow less till the last hour of the day. After their bath the oranges are spread out In the sun to dry on long, slanting racks. At the lower end they roll off into boxes, to be carried away to the warehouse for their rest. An orange needs a deal of grooming, It would seem, before it is ready for market. The washing was not enough. There must be a brushing too. And after the days of. curing the oranges are fed into a hopper which drops them single file on to a belt that runs be tween revolving cylindrical brushes, this for a smooth, shiny look. Los An geles Herald. THEYOUNQ. QAMBLEft. He Had sua - Xfrrea Cfcaae, aat Fata Waa Asmlaat Him. I remember one handsome young f el low whom I used to meet occasionally on the staircase 'who captured my youthful fancy. I met him only at midday, as he did not rise till late, and this fact, with a certain scrupulous ele gance and neatness In his dress, ought to nave made me suspect that he was a gambler. In my Inexperience It only Invested him with a certain romantic mystery. One morning as I was going: out to my very early breakfast at a cheap Italian cafe on Long wharf I was sur prised to find him also descending the stalrctse. He was scrupulously dress ed even at that early hour, but I was struck by the fact that he was all In black, and his slight figure,' buttoned to the throat In a tightly fitting frock coat, gave, I fancied, a singular melan choly to his pale southern face. Nevertheless be greeted me with more than his usual serene cordiality, and I remembered that he looked up with a half puzzled, half amused expression at the rosy morning sky as he walked a few steps with me down the deserted street. I could not help aaying that I waa astonished to see him up so early, and he admitted that It was a break In his usual habits, but added, with a railing significance I afterward re membered, that It waa "an even chance If he did it again." Aa we n eared tbe street corner a man In a buggy drove up Impatiently. In spite of the driver's evident haste my handsome acquaintance got In le sure ty and, lifting his glossy hat to me with a pleasant smile, was driven away. I have a very lasting recollec-J tion of his face and figure aa the buggy disappeared down the empty street. I never saw him again. It was not until a week later that I knew that an hour after he left me that morning he was lying dead In a little hollow behind the Mission Dolores, shot through the heart In a duel for which he had arisen so early.

Phelps wonderful prepara tion, called "Paine's Celery Compound." Owing to a fall from a horse several years ago, I became a nervous invalid, and last year I entered' a hospital as a patient, where I was operated on by a famous Hew Tork surgeon, The surgical operation was successful, but nervous prostration followed, A summer in Newport, with the best medical attendance, failed to restore my nerves to their normal condition. I waa; absolutely unable to digest any solid food, and this weak condition of my digestive organs, combined with insomnia, caused the deepest depression. A constant tenderness and soreness in the region of my stomach, with a dull headache and extreme weakness, created a feeling of hopelessness, from Which I was unable to rise, Jt was in this melancholy frame of mind that X chanced to meet a Boston lawyer, who said to me, "I was is almost the condition that you are now in, and after spending hundreds of dollars without receiving any benefit I was induced -by a friend to give Paine's Celery Compound a trial, whioh I did, and it cured me completely when everything else had failed." - I was rather skeptical about trying a prepared medicine, but I ordered a bottle from my druggist and began to take it according to directions. Much to my surprise I slept soundly at night and did not wake in the morning with the usual dull headache. Then, too, I developed an appetite for solid food and soon I was aMe to digest a course dinner without any unpleasant sensations. I am now completely restored to health after about two months' use of the Compound.

A few years ago a committee of angry low church men visited tbe bishop of Oxford, the late Dr. Stobbs, to complain of varlona ritualistic excesses of their rector. They were especially excited over the tact that the parson wore a red hood instead of the blue one to which he was entitled as a graduate of Trinity college, Dublin. "He carries a lie on his back!" they cried. Aa a matter ot fact tbe accused priest had an Oxford degree as well as an Irish one, but the bishop did not argue the matter.
