It is positively announced that the President Las offered a civil service com -iissionership to Wm. Dudley Foulke, and it may be taken tor granted that he will accept it. D Mr. Fouike is eminently fit ted for the po" sition and the work will be tasteful to him. The salary ia $3,500 a year, which, though not large, ia sufficient to keep the wolf from the door. H?re are some sweet facts:The total consumption of sugar in Jthe United States last year was 2,219,847 tons, and based on the average increase of 6.34 per cent, during the past 19 years, the consumption this year should be 2,330,585 tons. Of this quantity 1,000,000 tons in round figures will come from American sources, say Louisiana being able to produce 350,000 tons, United States beet factories 150.000. Hawaii 350,000 and Porto Rico 150,000, all being free of duty, leaving 1,3G0,5S5 tons to come from other sources and on which duty is paid. The average duty assessed is 36 per ton, or a total of $48,931,060, We print in full herewith the opinion of Judge Fox in the labor case that has lately attracted much attention. The judge's decision is in favor of the plaintiff. It is understood that the case will be appealed to the supreme court. Should the opinion of Judge Fox be sustained by the higher court the case will cause something of a revolution in the employment of public labor in this state. It will entirely - eliminate the feature of charity and bring public employment to a strictly business basis. State and municipal contractors and employers, in the discharge of their respective duties, will be obliged toemployonly such workmen as can earn the pay stipulated by law, and to drop from the pay rolls such as can not. This will of course wjrk a hardship on a class of worthy men, bat not able bodied, to whem the community would be glad to pay whatever public wages they are able to earn, just as is done by private employers. The law under consideration certainly has in it the element of class legislation. Whether it technically violates a provision of the constitution is a question fur the courts to decide. MINISTERIAL.

There are comparatively few plays, today that possess the fascination of Lewis Morrison's version of Goethe's "Faust," which appears at the Gennett next Tuesday. Among scholars and litterateurs of all countries it is conceded that Goethe is not only the greatest poet of Germany, he is one of the greatest poets of all ages. He is so great that after a lapse of nearly one hundred years since "Faust" was given to the world, scholars are unuble to form a correct judgement of his exact precedence in the list of Homer, Dante and Shakespeare. Lewis Morrison's version of "Faust" adheres to the beauty and symmetry of Goethe's lines as strictly as the most ardent admirer of Goethe could wish. To this fact, and to the superb scenery, costumes and electrical effects, which are all new this season, much of the succes of Morrison's "Faust" is due. Special prices, 25, 35 and 50 cents. CASHEL BYRON. The celebrated New York critic, Alan Dale, speaks highly of "Cashel Byron, Gentleman," on its special performance at the Herald Square theatre, December last. After relating the story he says: "The first act showed his training for his fiht for the championship of England and very neat bout between Byron and his trainer, Bob Mellish, caught several rounds of well merited applause, being really clever, in fact artistic. Mr. Shaw has described the fine looking young hero in a bold, caustic,half humorous vein in which he does everything, and Mr. Harrison Wolfe was not only a good picture of well-Dut-together young Briton, but f jught and acted throughout with excellent discrimination and care. In truth the entire company was well put together and for a first and rather hurried preparation, the production deserves high praise. Negotiations are now on for a run on the play in New York. No little curiosity is evir e in! its app ?arance here Thurs day, October 24, and a large attend ance is anticipated. A Typical South . African Store. O. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays River, Cape Colony, conducts a store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the proverbial "need of an anchor." This store is situated in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and about twentyfive miles from the nearest town. Mr Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers wiihin a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Chamberlain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doctor's advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the papulation Is perhaps sixty. Of these, within the past twelve months, no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured ty Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy, This must surely be a record." Fi r sale by W. H. Sudhoff and A.
