A NEEDED KEFOIUL The Construction of New Buildings to Be Intrusted Only to Practical Men. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, May 19. Supervising Architect Windrim is determined to adopt a new policy, at least so far as lies in his power, in the appointment of superintendents of pnblic buildings to be erected in rarious sections of the country. Mr. "Windrim said to your correspondent, in

conversing on this subject: "I want to put in men who are practical architects or builders, rather than politician, in every instance. Tho interest of the government can bo served best when wo divorce politics from business. In my own private business my superintendent represents me, and I am responsible for any of his shortcomings to the men who employ me. The government employs a superintendent to see that the contractor does his work properly and according to the specifications. If, therefore, the superintendent neglects his duty, the government is responsible to the people for tho negligence. I have found that, in the past, men have been employed as superintendents who had no idea of the first principles of building:, and in one case which came to my attention not long ago I found that as a result of the employment of such a man there was a fall of three inches between the floor of the hall and the "floor of a room entering into the hall in one of our nublio buildings." Mr. Windrim's idea that there should be more business ability and less politics in appointments to these places will meet with the cordial approval of everyone who desires to see government structures built upon business principles. It must be admitted in this connection that within the last twenty years a great deal of odium has been remored from gorernment contractors. Back in the old, days before the war the government contractor was regarded as a legalized scoundrel whoso sole object was to perform as little service as possible for the pay he receired. Within the last two' decades, however, government buildings have shown a marked improvement in the matter of construction, and Mr. Windrim proposest during his term of office, to make the striae in the forward direction still more marked and tho buildings still more substantial. APPEALS TO SIRS. HARRISON. Offlce-Seckers Aik Her to Do Many Things to Forward Their Interests. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, May 19. Mrs. Harrison's mail contains, every day, appeals from of-fice-scekers to use her influence with her husband in favor of the writers. Some of the correspondents request Mrs. Harrison to remind the President that their applications remain unanswered; they have heard nothing about them, and fear the President has inadvertently neglected to act upon them. They beg Mrs. Harrison to look around the office for the letters or petitions, and put them where General Harrison will be sure to see them. Some of the letters are from women. One of themrecenttly wrote that she was a widow with three "girl children." Her husband was killed in tho war, lighting oq the Southern side, and there was an unconscious pathos in the details of a poor widow's struggle to maintain and bring up in the 'fear of the Lord1 those three girl children. She wanted a postoflice paying only $500 a year, and yet "it would be a god-send to me." One man wrote recently eight big letter pages to Mrs. Harrison, because he feared that three previous epistles of the same length addressed to "your respected husband had failed to meet his eye." The letter breathed the most devoted piety, truest Kepublicanism, and the most pronounced prohibition sentiments, and ended np with a request for an office of some kind that would make life a littlo easier for a man with only one leg. MINOR MATTERS. The Civil-Service Commission Anxious to Put the Census Bureau Under Its Rules. Special to the Indianapolis JoornaL , "Washington, May 19. There is a probability that the Civil-servico Commission will this week consider the question of whether or not the civil-service rules shall be extended to the clerical force of the' Census Bureau. Attorney-general Miller has decided that under the law the Secretary of the Interior has the right to make appointments in this bureau without requesting a certified list of clegibles from the commission, but there is a disposition on the part of the civil-service reformers to demand that this bureau shall be placed on a par with the other departments. It is argued, on the other hand, that there are hundreds of excellent clerks who have had experience in compiling the retnrns from previous censuses, who would be invaluable at tlie present time, and that their chances for securing places through the Civil-service Commission would be exceedingly slim, because of the great numbeT of young men anxious to get into the federal service, who are fresher from college, and more able to answer tho questions propounded. Another Cabinet Humor. Washington, May 19. A rumor was again afloat last'night to the effect that changes in the Cabinet are about to take place, as follows: The present Attorneygeneral, Mr. Miller, is to be appointed Associate Justice to fill the vacancy made by the death of Stanley Matthews; Mr. Tracy to bo transferred from tho Navy to the Department of Justice, and ex-Senator T. C. Flatt to be appointed Secretary of the Navy. The Attorney-general Ust evening denied any knowledge of a plan to place him on the Supreme Bench. A Hopeful Ofllce-Sevker Gets In Trouble. Washington, May 19. Henry W. Rogers, a middle-aged man, came here on the 4th of. March for a consulate. He was locked up last night in the station-house as a vagrant. He had nearly 20 in coppers and nve-cent pieces in his clothes, the rosalt of his solicitations on the street. He was taken before Judge Miller in the police court, one day last week, and gavo his personal bonds to get out of town. But ho was sure of getting his position in a few days more, and so he stayed. Hi Clan-na-Ciael and Dr. Cronin. Nkw York, May 19. The following resolutions have been passed by the national executive council of the Clan-na-Gael, which has been in session here for several days.

BOYLE SEEKING EEDKESS

He Fresents a Grievance to the Members of the Base-Ball Brotherhood, Asking that a Fine of $100 Be Returned to Him by the Club Result of the Association Games Yesterday The City League. New Youk, May 18. The Base-ball Brotherhood held its annual spring meeting at the Fifth-avenue Hotel to-day. The delegates to the meeting were Ward and Keefe, representing the New York club; Brouthers, of Boston; Hanlon, of Pittsburg; Healy, of Washington; Myers, of Indianapolis; Pfeffer, of Chicago; Sanders, of Philadelphia, and Twitchell, of Cleveland. Players Ewinsr, Welch, Brown, Wood, Glasscock, Carroll, Bcckley and Staley were also present The session lasted from 11:30 till 7:80 p. M., but little actual work was done outside of routine business. The election of officers is done by chapters. Ward will be re-elected president aud Keefe secretary and treasurer. The only contest is over the vice-presidency, for which both Brouthers and Myers are candidates. Finance, grievance and relief committees were appointed, and treasurer Keefe reported that the financial department of the organization was in tine condition. All the Cleveland players have become members of the brotherhood. Boyle, the Indianapolis pitcher, was the only person to present a grievance. He claimed that he had been severely treated by his club last year, alleging that the club not only refused to pay him his salary while he was sick, bnt that he was fined fclOO for being sick. The brotherhood pro pose to have that fine returned to the player. Those who have predicted sensational features and a strike will be disappointed. The players discussed the classification rule question, but no definite action was agreed upon. The players are opposed to the rule, but there is not much cnance of ordering a strike when the objectionable feature can be removed in a less boisterous but more sensible manner. Yesterday's Games. BROOKLYN, 2; ST. LOUIS, 1. St. Louis, May 19. It was Bob Caruthers's day to-day, and the biggest crowd that has witnessed a game at Sportsman Park since 1883 saw him mow down the Browns. Fully 14,000 people were present Bob Ferguson materially assisted him, several decisions against the Browns at critical stages cutting off chances to score. Caruthers met with a hearty reception from his thousands of old friends, and he pitched a masterly game. King did wonderfu work, and but four hits were made off his puzzling delivery. m McCarthy saved a shut-out by his hard drive for two baaea in the niutb, scoring on O'NeiU's single. Score: Bt.

Columbus was outplayed a very little, and beaten by bunching of four hits in the fourth inning, helped out by the only really poor fielding the visitors did. Baldwin and Ehret, backed np by Peoples and Vaughan, were very effective as batteries, vaugnan's passed bans were at fortunate moments ana counted nothing for Columbus.

He pitched just one ball, which Thompson drove into Broad street, tallying four runs, and then Captain Anson sent him back to left field.

The batteries were Shultz and Adams for the Hustlers and Piscator and Senour for the Eclipse. The game was played on the telephone grounds.

This is one of the hardest positions in a milL He has not had any practice this season, and his hands being sore he can not pitch bis drop ball, the Pittsbnrgers say. The Philadelphia Press says that the baserunning of the Indianapolis players is speedy enough, but their judgment in how to run is faulty. If Friday's exhibition is a sample of what they have been doing in this department, then it is readily seen why such a combination of excellent ballplayers fail to win more games. The Cleveland correspondent of the Sporting Times says: "The treatment of Glasscock by the spectators was anything but complimentary to Cleveland, lie does not want to play again in Cleveland, and when the Uoosiers come here on their next trip manager Bancroft will make np his nine with Jack out. No short-stop ever played sucb a game here as Glasscock did during the recent series." Tho New Bedford lodge of Elks has voted to give Exalted Ruler Frank C. Bancroft a reception, to include all the members of the Indianapolis club, on the evening of May 2). A social session will be held, when the Fall Kiver and Newport lodges will be present.

Y. WARRING ELECTRICIANS. "" A Test Case That Will Decide the Validity oi Incandescent Light Patents. Pittsburg, Pa., May 19. Justice Bradley, of the United States Supreme Court andJndgos McKennan and Acheson will to-morrow morning begin the hearing of the Cass Consolidated Electric-light Company vs. the McKecsport Light Company, a patent infringement case. The case in reality is Westinzbonse vs. Edison. Several years ago Mr. Westinghouso purchased the Sawyer carbon burner, tho little loop that furnishesthe light in incandescent burners. Mr. Sawyer'6 patent gives him tho right to use, exclusively, all fibrous vegetable matters as carbons. For several years Mr. Edison employed paper as a carbon, and now is usinc bamboo, and it is to prevent this infringement that the suit is brought. The Westinghon?e pcorlo will set up the ccneral allegation of infringement, and back it tip by the submission of several thousand pages of testiniony, expert and general, to snow that in the use of either paper or bamboo. Mr. Edi6on transgressed their rights and franchises underthe Sawyer patent. On the other hand, tho Edison peoplo will set up two claims, first, that the patent is too comprehensive and exclusive, covering, as it (Ws, tho whole vegetable kingdom, and excluding from it all who aro not interested in the patent. In the second place, tbey will eetupthe general allegation of fraud in the manner of obtaining tho patent. They have also fortified themselves with a ma of testimony, technical, expert and all around, fully as great, if not greater, than, that gathered by the Westinghouso attorneys. This Trill occupy every day of this week, and it is not improbable that the case may run far into next week. No Doubt that He Will lie Lynched. . Kosciusco, La.. May 18.

Vain Efforts to Find the Bottom of a Mug The German Military System. J. M. Emerson, in European Glimpses and Glances. Desiring to test the genuine German beer, and being directed to a special restaurant for that purpose, we find it a typical German establishment Only one Kind of beer is served, and a limited number of dishes in the way of edibles. The array of elaborate and ponderous beer-niugs, hung by their handles on the wall, extending almost from floor to ceiling behind the counter, is quito overwhelming, and when three of them are Set before us, tilled with the foaming beverage, one of our party remarks that he did not order the Atlantic ocean, andtheyouug woman says she feels like a fly about to faU into a pail of milk. The immense size of these mugs creates in our minds a doubt as to whether this is a wholesale or retail transaction. But we find, on doing our "level best" to solve tho problem, that wo so far fail to souud tho depths of our pmderous tankards as to be compelled to take our position in tho retail ranks, while our neighbors all around us are, without exception, in tho wholesale line, for they succeed to a man and woman, too in touching bottom. Indeed, many of them sound the depth of several specimens of the same sort, and we leave them, in a halo of smoko and good cheer, calling for more. An American is nero reminded at every turn that this is a military nation, by tho soldiers in training at the barracks, by tho marching and countermarching of military companies through the city, and by the tramp, tramp ho daily hears from tho window of his hotel as the files of soldiers cross and recross tho bridge of boats, recalling vividly tho enactment of similar scenes in his own country during the period of the civil war. Many amusing incidents occur among tho soldiers in their street parades and marchings. We saw recently a little sqnad dawdling along in their uniforms through the heat, the most ambitionless, hot. weary or lazy souls, dragging one foot after tho other as if a cannon-ball were tied to each. "Poor fellows," wo thought, "how plainly every line about them tells tho oppression and misery of the whole brutal system!" When all at once, to our amazement, they stiffened up liko ramrods, flung one leg out in front at an angle of forty-five degrees witn force enough to kick down a rampart, and then brought the heel of his ironclad member down upon the pavement like a blacksmith's hammer, the sparks flying in all directions. We looked on in amazement, wondering what had happened to them, when in the distance appeared a diminutive corporal, the occasion of the whole excitement. The same awe of their superiors runs through the entire German army. A common soldier having his boots blacked will instantly stand aside, before the operation is completed, as a corporal hteps up. Ho in turn gives place to an officer, and in a few minutes three of these accommodating individuals are standing in a row, bolt upright, with their trowsers turned up and each one with boot blacked. When tho fourth has been served, he passes along. with dignity, and each of the other three takes his turn in regnlar order nntil tha common soldier is linally reached. Mother Was a Great Cook. Cincinnati Times-Star. Why do the restaurants profess to sell strawberry shortcake! It is not the delicious shortcake that our mothers used to make tho shortcake that came steaming from the oven, nicely browned, strawberries and sucar tilling its interior, and with oceans of real cream to pour over it. Even now the memory of that wonderful dish "that mother used to make" cause one's mouth to water. i How He Spent the Time. Kansas City Star.
