were held in the Baptist church on Fri

pirate discourse was given by the pastor
OF the Advent church, Bristol. The re-
mains wore placed In the village ceme-
terry. The deceased had resided here for
many years; and her earnest and con-
sistent Christian life and principles had
endeared her to the society in which she
lived and labored. We can recall few

W President Arthur has appointed
a. civil service commissioners, under
the Pendleton bill, Dorman B. Eaton
of New York, John M. Gregory OF
Michigan ard Judson L. M. Thomar
of Ohio. The chairman, Mr.. Eaton,
has written and spoken 90 much upon
civil service reform that his name is
familiar to all. The second man on
the commission is the president of the
Illinois State Industrial University.
He has been an editor and served three
terms as State superintendent of pub.
lie instruction in Michigan. Thoman
is q college-bred man, has been pro-
bate Judge and is lawyer and politi-
clan. He was appointed upon the
recommendation of Senator Pendleton.
1t is doubtful whether the chairman OF
the commission did judicious thing
in taking the position. Whatever may
be the fact, it will look to the public
generally as if Mr.. Eaton had a selfish
end in view while pushing the measure
through Congress. He will be sus.
pected of having schemed to procur-
for himself this particular "spoil,"
though protesting horror of the
spoils system. And then, too, it is
possible the country contains men as
competent to discharge the duties Of
the Office as MIR, Eaton.
