EX-PRESIDENT HAYES DEAD
Ex-President Rutherford B. Hayes
died at 11 o'clock Tuesday night.
Early in the evening an inquiry elicit-
ed the response that the general had
passed a fairly well day and was rest-
ing nicely. The change from better to
worse was rapid and at 11 o'clock the
distinguished ex-president passed
away.
Ex-President Hayes passed quietly
away, at his pleasant home, Spiegel
Grove,
He was surrounded by his family. Al-
though over seventy years old, he was
the picture of ruddy health until sud-
denly stricken down Tuesday by neu-
ralgia of the heart. He had suffered
from the disease for many years, and
when the death of Mrs, Hayes was an-
nounced to him two years ago he was
vived with great difficulty.
CARLISLE will be Cleveland's secre-
tary of the treasury.

FOR A GOVERNMENT
CLERKSHIP.
To all young men who contemplate
a journey to Washington for the pur-
pose of securing employment the best
advice is, don’t. The humblest situa-
tion in a mercantile house, where the
pecuniary reward is small, where the
hours are long and the labor is hard,
is better in the end than a govern-
ment clerkship. One way lie oppor
tunities of advancement, for the utili-
zation and final reward of every talent
and all the energy that the young
man possesses, The other way lie
hopelessness, drudgery, stagnation.
Many a poor young man seeks a gov-
ernment clerkship in order that he
may earn his support while he is study-
ing his profession. He is taking up a
staff that is likely to become necessary
to him as a crutch. He is in danger
of discovering, when his profession is
learned, that he has not the moral
courage to drop his government sti-
pend. It would have been infinitely
better—it might have been his mak-
ing—if he had toiled for scantier dol-
lars in a manlier way. ;
The government clerk drags out a
monotonous existence, dreary, un-
promising of advancement, and if he
Is not turned out in his old age to ling-
“er on through his few remaining years
in poverty, he is one of the most for-
tunate of his kind.
There is no service that so destroys
DON'T TRY
as that of a government clerk. Young
men who think they have the ele
