Mr. Wiliamss Grafton, "Whthcr and for

deeply into the subject of "Mystery," show
ing how it has cnvcloped the life and thought
OF all ages, and has found expression IN every
religion. Mr.. 1sham dwelt with much force
upon sthe seemingly unimportant circum
stances which may determine the WHOLE
future of nature or an individual and Miss
Severson, in fresh, practical treatment of a
fresh, practical subject showed the uses and
abuses of Applause" Mr. Hall had q

clear, eloquent and well delivered Grafton,
described the "Thc Democratic Spirit OF

different "Types of Women" bestowing the
honor and the praise, where it rightfully
belongs, Upon the woman who makes the
home her province and her ideal. The clos

speaker received the usual compliment of
flowers, and all were cordially applauded by
the audience. After the speaking the class

Hon. Dorman b. Eaton, president of the
civil service commission, reports that the
secretary Of war has taken more than thirty
persons under the civil service rules and
more than one-third of them have already
been promoted, Every one appointed in
the departments, who has served out his six
months probation, has been permanently
appointed. In the war and postofllce dc.
partments they have extended the rules to
include 500 places. The participation by
members of congress IN the details of APP
pointments has been growing less and less.
Not one case in twenty-five now comes
before the commission in which members of
congress are interested. More women are
being examined in proportion to places
awarded them by the departments than men.
1t would seem that there must have been an
excess of women by reason of the pressure
brought TO bear in their favor. Now that
the secretaries have real liberty to take
men or women as convenience or service
demand, they require men in as many as
threc-fourths of the vacancies.
