Civil Service Reform,

WASHINGTON, Dec. III, 1911.
TO The Senate and House of Representa-.
tees.
In accordance with the act of Congress
approved March 3, 1871, l convened q
Commission Of eminent gentlemen to de-
wise rules and regulations for the pur-
pose of reforming the civil service,
Their labors are now complete, and /
transmit herewith their report, together
with the rules which they recommend
for my action. These rules have been
adopted, and will go into effect on TIE
LIST day of January, 1872. Under the
law referred to, as l interpret it, the 0T-
thority is already invested in the EXecu-
tive to enforce these regulations, with
full power to abridge, alter, or amend
them at his option, when changes may
be deemed advisable. These views, to-
gcther with the report of the Commits
sioners, are submitted for your careful
consideration as to whether further leg
islation may be necessary in order to
carry out an effective and beneficial civil
service reform. If left to me, without
further action of Congress, the rules
prescribed ly the Commission, under
the reservation already mentioned, will
be faithfully executed but they are not
binding on my successors without fur
ther legislation.
| ask for all the strength which Con-
gress can give me to enable me to carry
out the reforms in the Civil Service re-
commended by the Commissioners and
adopted, to take effect, as before stated,
on Jan. ], 1872. The law which pro-
vides for the converting OF Commits
sion to devise rules and regulations for
reforming the Civil Service, authorizes,
[ think, the permanent organization OF
a primary board under whose general
directions all examinations of applicants
for public Office shall be conducted.
There is no appropriation to continue
such q board beyond the termination Of
its present labors. [ therefore recon-
mend that proper appropriation be
made to continue the services of the
present Board for another year, and, in
view of the fact that three members Of
the Board hold positions in the public
service, which preoludes them from u
ceiving extra compensation under exist
ing laws, that they be authorized to re-
ceive a fair compensation for extra ser
vice rendered by them in the perform
ance of this duty. U. s. GRANT,

The Grand Duke in Boston.

The musical exercises in Boston, on
the occasion of the visit of the Grand
Duke, lasted one hour-from four till
five. After the voluntary on the organ,
came the Grand March of Welcome,
which was the special feature of the oc-
casion. Gilmore's Band was in attend
ance, and, with the organ, contributed to
the instrumental part Of the entertain
mcnt, the vocal music being rendered by
the school-children. The Grand March
OF Welcome introduced the Russian Ma
tional Hymn, played by the band and
the organ, and at that point the 1,2O0
children waved miniature flags, the Rus
sian and American alternating Then
the great choir of 1000 children, accom-
panied by the full orchestra and the or
gan, sang in unison the Ode of Wei
come, composed by Oliver Wendell
Holmes for the occasion. The air was
the Russian Hymn, and the Grand Duke
and suit arose at the beginning and re-
NAMED standing while the stanzas were
being sung. His Imperial Highness APP
pearcd to be impressed by the words and
music of this song.
THE ODE or WELCOME.
Swallowed so long by the storm-cloud Of danger,
Thou whom the prayers OF Empire defend:
Welcome. thrice welcome but notas stranger;
Come to the nation that calls thee its friend.

cembcr.

POSTAL CARDs.-A bill has been intro
duced in Congress directing the Post
master-Gencral to furnish and issue to
the public stamped postal cards for the
transmission through the mails of mes
sages or other short communications at q
postage charge of one cent each, the cost
of the card incIuded The experiment
of using cards for the transmission of
open correspondence at very low rate
has been tried in England, and has
proved popular, the principal objection
urged against it being that the cards
offer cheap facilities for annoying people
by addressing them insulting communi-
cations, and that such scandalous writ
ings may be read by thepersons through
whose hands the matter passes. This,
however, is a trivial complaint. II the
measure should be adopted the cards
would be used in vast quantities here
for messages to be sent from one part of
the city to another, provided the delivery
service should be so reformed as not to
require Il longer time for transmitting u
letter or card few blocks within the
city limits than it takes to send one to n
destination t hundred miles away. "

Poisoned TO Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day about
two and II half pounds of bile, which
contains great amount of waste mate
rial taken from the blood. When the
liver becomes torpid or congested, it
fails to eliminate this vast amount of
soxious substance, which, therefore, re-
mains to poison the blood and be con-
veyed to every part of the system
What must be the condition of the blood
when il is receiving and retaining each
day two and Il half pound of poisons ?
Nature tries to work off this poison
through other channels and organs-the
kidneys, lungs, skin, etc. but these or
gans become overtasked in performing
this labor, in addition TO their natural
functions, and cannot long withstand
the pressure, but become variously dis
eased
The brain, which is the great eIectri-
cal centre of all vitality, is unduly stimu-
lated by the unhealthy blood which
passes to it from the heart, and it fails
to perform its Office beautifully. Hence
the symptoms Of bile poisoning, which
are dullness, headache, incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impair
ment of memory, dizzy, sleepy Or ner-
vous feelings, gloomy forbodings and IT.
ritability of temper. The biood Itself be-
ing diseased, as it forms the sweat upon
the surface Of the skin, it is so irritating
and poisonous that it produces discolor-
ed brown spots, pimples, blotches and
other eruptions, sores, bolls, cmbuncles
and scrofulous tumors. The stomach,
bowels, and other organs spoken Of, can
not escape becoming affected, sooner or
later, and costivoness, piles, dropsy, dys-
pepsia, diarrhwa, female weakness, and
many other forms of chronic disease, are
among the necessary results. As a re-
NEEDY for all these various manifestations
of disease, DR.. Pierco's Golden Medical
Discovery is positively unequaled. BY
it the liver and stomach are changed to
an active, healthy state, the appetite reg
ulated and restored, the blood and Sc.
cretions thoroughly purified and enrich
ed, and the whole system renovated and
built up anew. Soil by all tirst-class

How They are Provided For.

Many of the families rendered desti-
tute by the great FIRE in Chicago are now
sheltered in huge barracks, where they
are supplied with the necessarics Of life
by the Relief and Aid Society in cases
where such assistance is required On
Halsted street there is a building con-
tanning 3OS families, numbering alto
gether about 1000 souls. On Centre
avenue is another where there are 305
families, and others are distributed over
the city. As left by the carpenters these
buildings were not generally either wind
or water tight but whore their occu-
pants are ingenious and energetic they
have been made comfortable with Stats
nailed over the crevices, and papers past
ed on the rough boards. In some cases
attempts at decorations have been made
by placing little ornaments saved from the
general wreck on shelves, and in many
instances these domicils are made to pre-
sent an appearance of comfort through
the neatness and industry of their inhabi-
tants Where families settled in bar
racks are shiftless and dirty, however,
their habitations are cherries enough.
Each set of barracks has a sort of over
seer whose business it is to keep the run
Of all the families IN his charge. He ac-
quaints himself with their circumstances,
knows what relief they receive, what use
they make Of it, observes their habits,
and is enabled to give intelligent infor-
nation as to who are deserving objects
fer assistance, and who are not. Some
complaint has been made that those in
charge of contributions for sufferers
have been overbearing and partial in the
execution of their duties, but the Rev.
Robert Collyer, who has had good oppor-
tunities for observation, believes that
such attacks upoN the Relief and Aid
Society are unjust and unkind.
