IS INTERESTED IN GEOLOGY. John R. Proctor, the New United State* Civil Service Commissioner. John R. Proctor, who has lieen ap pointed to fill the vacancy in the United States civil service commission, occa sioned by the summary removal of George D. Johnston, is a native and resi dent of Kentucky, and up to a year ago had filled the position of state geologist rfor a number of years, retiring finally because of the failure of the legislature ” to make an appropriation for the support of the office. His services in the geolog ical survey of the state were very valua ble, his, reports being everywhere recog nized as models of accuracy and his geo logical and topographical map consid ered the best ever made.

An amusing incident has just come to light anent the recent marriage of a prominent young railroad man to an up town belle. As is usual on such oc casions, the arrangements, including tbe financial end of the transaction in hearts, were left Jo the best man, him self a well known club man and a cricketer of local repute. The story that is now going the rounds, and which is creating considerable merriment, deals wholly with the part played by the latter young man. By some unac countable contretemps the youth in question delivered to the organist the magnificent sum of SSO, while the shock headed youngster who supplied the wind for the instrument was gladdened by the gift of $lO. When it came to the clergymau, how ever, the lavish expenditure previously made had so depleted the nuptial funds feat only $2 remained. With unblush ing effrontery and perfect sang froid the best man tendered the two plunks to the dqminie, whose feelings can bet ter be imagined than described. The the wedding was the most the season, while the shock who supplied the wind characterizes!, us “ hot stuff. ” It would be interesting to know what the clergyman who tied about it. —Philadelphia Record.
