FOR

COMPILED BY JAMES LANGLAND, M. A. 



ISSUED BY 
THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS COMPANY 

[Copyright. 1904, by The Chicago Daily News Co.] 



PREFACE. 



The Daily News Almanac and Year Book for 1905, like the 
twenty volumes preceding it, is intended to be a handy and com- 
prehensive book of reference for busy people. It aims to answer 
questions relating to politics, commerce, education, history, chro- 
nology and many other subjects briefly and correctly; to supply 
information that cannot in all cases be readily secured elsewhere, 
and to supplement encyclopedias and similar publications by sum- 
marizing and recording current events of importance. In seek- 
ing to do this the world has been included within the scope of the 
book, but the needs of the average American have been kept 
steadily in view. The data to be found on the following pages 
relate for the most part to the United States, but no country of 
any consequence has been slighted, as will be seen by referring to 
the index at the end of the volume. The usual amount of space 
has been devoted to information of more particular interest to 
residents of the central west, of Illinois and of Chicago.

UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE. 



UNITED STATES CIVH SERVICE. 



(Civil-service act approved Jan. 16, 1883.) 



Officers Three commissioners are appointed 
by the president to assist him in classify- 
ing the government offices and positions, 
formulating rules and enforcing the law. 
Their office is in Washington, D. C. The 
chief examiner is appointed by the commis- 
sioners to secure accuracy, uniformity and 
justice in the proceedings of the examining 
boards. The secretary to the commission 
is appointed by the president. 

General Rules The fundamental rules gov- 
erning appointments to government posi- 
tions are found in the civil-service act it- 
self. Based upon these are many other 
regulations formulated by the commission 
and promulgated by the president from 
time to time as new contingencies arise. 
The present rules were approved March 
20, 1903, and went into effect April 15, 1903. 
In a general way they require that there 
must be free, open examinations of appli- 
cants for positions in the public service; 
that appointments shall be made from 
those graded highest in the examinations; 
that appointments to the service in Wash- 
ington shall be apportioned among the 
states and territories according to popula- 
tion; that there shall be a period (six 
months) of probation before any absolute 
appointment is made; that no person In 
the public service is for that reason obliged 
to contribute to any political fund or is 
subject to dismissal for refusing to so con- 
tribute; that no person in the public serv- 
ice has any right to use his official author- 
ity or influence to coerce the political ac- 
tion of any person. Applicants for positions 
shall not be questioned as to their polit- 
ical or religious beliefs and no discrimina- 
tion shall be exercised against or in favor 
of any applicant or employe on account of 
his religion or politics. The classified civil 
service shall Include all officers and em- 
ployes in the executive civil service of the 
United States except laborers and persons 
whose appointments are subject to con- 
firmation by the senate. 

Examinations These are conducted by 
boards of examiners chosen from among 
persons in government employ and are held 
twice a year in all the states and terri- 
tories at convenient places. In Illinois, 
for example, they are usually held at 
Cairo, Chicago and Peoria. The dates are 
announced through the newspapers or by 
other means. They can always be learned 
by applying to the commission or to the 
nearest postoffice or custom house. Those 
who desire to take examination are ad- 
vised to write to the commission in Wash- 
ington for the "Manual of Examinations," 
which is sent free to all applicants. It is 
revised semiannually to Jan. 1 and July 1. 
The January edition contains a schedule 
of the spring examinations and the July 
edition contains a schedule of the fall ex- 
aminations. Full information is given as 
to the methods and rules governing exam- 
inations, manner of making application, 
qualifications required, regulations for rat- 
ing examination papers, certification for 
and chances of appointment, and as far as 
possible it outlines the scope of the differ- 
ent subjects of general and technical ex- 
aminations. These are practical in char- 
acter and are designed to test the relative 



capacity and fitness to discharge the duties 
to be performed. It is necessary to obtain 
an average percentage of 70 to be eligible 
for appointment, except that applicants 
entitled to preference because of honorable 
discharge from the military or naval serv- 
ice for disability resulting from wounds or 
sickness incurred in the line of duty need 
obtain but 65 per cent. The period of eligi- 
bility is one year. 
Qualifications of Applicants No person will 



be examined who is not a citizen of tue 
s; who is not within the 
rescribed; who is physic 



United States; who is not within the age 
prescribed; who is physically 
disqualified for the service which he seeks; 



limitations 



who has been guilty of criminal, infamous, 
dishonest or disgraceful conduct; who 
has been dismissed from the public serv- 
ice for delinquency and misconduct or has 
failed to receive absolute appointment 
after probation; who is addicted to the 
habitual use of intoxicating liquors to ex- 
cess, or who has made a false statement 
in his application. The age limitations in 
the more imnortant branches of the public 
service are; Postoffice, 18 to 45 years; 
rural letter carriers, 17 to 55; internal rev- 
enue, 21 years and over; railway mail, 18 
to 35; lighthouse, 18 to 50; life saving, 18 
to 45; general departmental, 20 and over. 
These age limitations are subject to change 
by the commission. They do not apply 
to applicants of the preferred class. Ap- 
plicants for the position of railway mail 
clerk must be at least 5 feet 6 inches in 
height, exclusive of boots or shoes, and 
weigh not less than 135 pounds in ordinary 
clothing and have no physical defects. Ap- 
plicants for certain other positions have to 
come up to similar physical requirements. 

Method of Appointment Whenever a va- 
cancy exists the appointing officer makes 
requisition upon the civil-service commis- 
sion for a certification of names to fill the 
vacancy, specifying the kind of position 
vacant, the sex desired and the salary. 
The commission thereupon takes from the 
proper register of eliglbles the names of 
the three persons standing highest of the 
sex called for and certifies them to the ap- 
pointing officer who is required to make the 
selection. He may choose any one of the 
three names, returning the other two to 
the register to await further certification. 
The time of examination is not considered, 
as the highest in average percentage on the 
register must be certified first. If after a 
probationary period of six months the 
name of the appointee is continued on the 
roll of the department in which he serves 
the appointment is considered absolute. 

Removals No person can be removed from 
a competitive position except for such 
cause as will promote the efficiency of the 
public service and for reasons given in 
writing. No examination of witnesses nor 
any trial shall be required except in the 
discretion of the officer making the re- 
moval. 

Salaries Entrance to the departmental serv- 
ice is usually In the lowest grades, the 
higher grades being generally filled by pro- 
motion. The usual entrance grade is aboat 
$900, but the applicant may be appointed 
at $840, $760 or even $600.

of this period, or within two years there- 
after, proof of residence and cultivation 
must be established by four witnesses. The 
proof of settlement, with the certificate ol 
the register of the land office, Is forwarded

cannot be made until the expiration of five 
years from date of entry, and must be made 
within seven years. The government recog-

that period. 

The law allows only one homestead privi-

holiday in the District of Columbia, but 
the law is of no effect elsewhere.

WEATHER FORECASTS AND SIGNALS. 



The weather bureau of the United States 
department of agriculture publishes daily 
more than 100,000 weather bulletins, not 
counting the forecasts In the newspapers. 
Most of these bulletins are in the form 
of postal cards printed by postmasters 
from telegraphic' reports and sent by them 
to outlying towns for display at suitable 
points. There is also an elaborate system of 



redistribution by means of telephones and 
railroads from established centers, so that 
there are comparatively few accessible 
places which do not now receive dally 
weather forecasts within a very short time 
after the observers have completed their 
work. The old system of conveying informa- 
tion about the weather by means of flag 
displays is also in general use. 



No 1. 
White flag. 



EXPLANATION OF WEATHER FLAGS. 

NO. 2. No. 3. No. 4. No. 5. 

Slue flag. White and blue Black triangu- White flag with black 

flag- lar flag. square in center. 



BLUE 





Clear or Rain or snow. Local rain or Temperature. Cold wave, 

fair weather. snow. 

When No- * is placed above No. 1, 2 or 3 it Indicates warmer; when below, colder; 
when not displayed, the temperature is expected to remain about stationary. During the late 
spring and early fall the cold-wave flag is also used to indicate anticipated frosts. 

EXPLANATION OF STORM-WARNING FLAGS. 







Northwest winds. Southwest winds. Northeast winds. Southeast winds. "Hurricane''signal 
A red flag with a black center indicates that a storm of marked violence is expected. The 
pennants displayed with the flags indicate the direction of the wind: Red, easterly (from 
northeast to south); white, westerly (from southwest to north) The pennant above the flag 
indicates that the wind is expected to blow from the northerly quadrants; below, from south- 
erly quadrants. 

By night a red light indicates easterly winds and a white light above a red light westerly 
winds. 

Two red flags, with black centers, displayed one above the other, indicate the expected 
approach of tropical hurricanes, and also of those extremely severe and dangerous storms 
which occasionally move across the lakes and northern Atlantic coast: Hurricane warnings 
are not displayed at night. 

THERMOMETERS COMPARED. 

Fahrenheit to Reaumur Subtract 32, mul- 
tiply by four-ninths. 



There are three kinds of thermometers, 
with varying scales, in general use through- 
out the world the Fahrenheit, Reaumur and 



Centigrade. The freezing and boiling points 
on their scales compare as follows: 

Thermometer. Freezing pt. Hnilintipt. 

Fahrenheit 32 degrees 212 degrees 

Reaumur zero 80 degrees 

Centigrade zero 100 degrees 

The degrees on one scale are reduced to 
their equivalents on another by these formu- 
las: 



Fahrenheit to Centigrade Subtract 32. 
multiply by flve-rinths. 

Keaumur to Fahrenheit Multiply by nine, 
fourths, add 32. 

Keaumur to Centigrade Multiply by five- 
fourths.- 

Centigrade to Fahrenheit Multiply by 



nine-flfths, add 32. 

Centigrade to Reaumur

The "rate" indicates the fighting value and is the same for both battleships and cruisers; 
that is to say, a cruiser of the second rate is equal in fighting strength to a battleship of the 
same rate. The losses in the Russian and Japanese navies are not included in the list. The 
number of warships lost by each in the war is shown elsewhere in this volume.

Area of Porto Rico is approximately 3,600 and of the Philippine islands 114.000 square miles. 

NOTE The areas as given above were computed under the direction of Henry Gannett, 
geographer of the United States geological survey, for the census office. In some cases the 
Figures vary from those given by the general land office, but they are believed to be as nearly 
correct as possible. In the case of states bordering on the great lakes the water surface of 
the latter has been included in the computation of areas by the land office and excluded by 
Mr. Gannett. This will account in lfln;e measure for the apparent discrepancies.

THE FLORENCE MAYBRICK CASE. 



Miss Florence Elizabeth Chandler. Amer- 
ican, was married to James Maybrick of 
Liverpool, England, in London, July 27, 1881. 
She was 18 and he more than 40. In the 
spring of 1889 Mr. Maybrick became ill and 
on the llth of May died. His brothers Inves- 
tigated the circumstances of bis death and 
had Mrs. Maybrick arrested on the charge 
of poisoning him with arsenic. Her trial 
began July 31 and ended Aug. 7 in a ver- 
dict of guilty, owing mainly to the severe 
charge of the judge, Sir James F. Stephen. 
She was sentenced to death, but there was 



a popular outcry against the verdict and 
at the instance of Queen Victoria the sen- 
tence was commuted Aug. 22 to penal 
servitude for life. Continued efforts on her 
behalf were made by influential Americans 
and others, including the duchess of Bed- 
ford, and Feb. 4, 1904, it was announced 
that Mrs. Maybrk-k had been removed from 
Aylesworth prison to the home of a reli- 
gious sisterhood at Trtiro, England. There 
she remained in seclusion until July 20, 
when she was permitted to depart on 
"ticket of leave.

CARNEGIE INSTITUTION OF WASHINGTON 



(Prepared by William 
The Carnegie Institution of Washington 
was incorporated Jan. 4, 1902, and endowed 
by Andrew Carnegie with $10,000,000. The 
purpose of the Institution is thus declared 
by its founder: 

"It is proposed to found in the citv of 
Washington an institution which, with the 
co-operation of institutions now or here- 
after established, there or elsewhere, shall 
in the broadest and most liberal manner 
encourage investigation, research and dis- 
covery show the application of knowledge 
to the improvement of mankind, provide 
such buildings, laboratories, books and ap- 
paratus as may be needed, and afford in- 
struction of an advanced character to stu- 
dents properly qualified to profit thereby." 
Under the original organization the en- 
dowment and the conduct of the institution 
were intrusted to a board of twenty-seven 
trustees. But under the act of congress 
approved April 28, 1904, certain ex-officio 
trustees were dispensed with and the board 
now consists of the following twenty four 
persons:

The general conference of the methodist 
episcopal church, held in May, 1904, in Los 
Angeles, Cal., placed six bishops on the 
superannuated list and elected eight new

bishops, one of whom resigned. It also 
elected four missionary bishops. It voted 
against restoring the time limit on pastor- 
at"8 and against changing the law as to 
amusements. The consolidation of benevo- 
lent societies was provided for and the 
creation of a church temperance society 
was decided upon. A report was adopted 
declaring that there was no sufficient foun- 
dation for the allegations that there was 
disloyalty in some or the theological schools 
to the doctrinal standards of the church. 

The general superintendents placed upon 
the superannuated list were Bishops Mer- 
rill. Andrews, Foss, Vincent, Walden and 
Mallalieu. The new superintendents elect- 
ed were J. F. Berry, Henry Soellmeyer, 
William F. McDowell, J. W. Bashford, 
William Burt, L. B. Wilson, T. B. Neely 
and J. R. Day, the last named declining to 
serve. The missionary bishops elected were 



W. F. Oldbam and J. E. Robinson for 
southern Asia, I. B. Scott for Africa and 
M. C. Harris for Japan.

PRESBYTERIAN CREED REVISED. 
The general assembly of the presbyterian 
church was held in Los Angeles, Cal., begin- 
ning May 21. 1903. Rev. R. F. Coyle of Den- 
ver, Col., was moderator. Two acts of the 
assembly were of especial importance. One 
was the adoption of the revised creed and 
the other the passing of a resolution for- 
bidding the marriage of persons divorced 
upon other grounds than those recognized 
by the church. Eleven articles in the con- 
fession of faith were changed. Those con- 



cerning election, and infant salvation now 
read: 

"That, concerning those who are saved in 
Christ, the doctrine of God's eternal decree 
is held In harmony with the doctrine of 
His love to all mankind. His gift of His 
Son to be the propitiation for the sins of 
the whole world, and His readiness to be- 
stow His saving grace on all who seek It; 
that concerning those who perish the doc- 
trine of God's eternal decree is held in har- 
mony with the doctrine that God desires 
not the death of any sinner, but has pro- 
vided in Christ a salvation sufficient for 
all, adapted for all and freely offered in the 

fospel for all; that men are fully responsi- 
le for their treatment of God r a gracious 
offer; that this doctrine hinders no man 
from accepting that offer, and that no man 
is condemned except on the ground of his 
sin. 

"Also that It is not to be regarded as 
teaching that any who die in infancy are 
lost. We believe that all dying in infancy 
are Included in the election of grace and 
are regenerated and saved by Ctoriat. 
through the Spirit, Who works where and 
tow He pleases."

ity places the number of Roman catholics 
In Europe, America and Australia at 223,- 
690.000; protestants, 157,050,000, and Greeks,

wide and is 420 feet above the water. It 
was built in 1904 by an English bridge com- 
pany for the Uhodeslan railways trust.
