The Preferences For Ex-soldiers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-In the case of an
appeal from Thomas j. Harris, an employe
in the New York custom house who passed a
for promotion, but had to give way to an
honorably discharged soldier who passed
lower, the civil service commission has de-
eided that preferences to ex-soldiers are fol
admission to the classified service and do not
extend to promotion therein. They hold
that in competitive examination for pro-
motion those graded highest should be in all
cases the first certified to the appointing Off

After the list of delegates had been read
the committee appointed to investigate the
charges against Secretary Vail made its re-
port finding that the accounts have been
loosely kept and that Mr.. Vail has not given
proper attention to the complaints nor de-
voted sufficient time to the interests of the
association. The congress then adjourned.

DRESSES.

The exercises last evening consisted of adj
dresses by bishops of Montana, northern Da-
kota and Texas. The speakers emphasized
the need of establishing churches on the ex-
treme frontier; not only should the spiritual
church of God be provided, but also the
bishops at present consisted of the efforts to
keep pace with the development of the
State. They called attention to the
various ways in which they could
advantageously expend the funds they asked
for. Beside financial aid they need earnest
and capable clergymen, who would throw
themselves into the work and be content to
share the privations of their parishioners. In
this way only can lasting hold upon the
people be obtained. Bishop Garriek, of
northern Texas, appealed to the women to
consecrate their sons to the
ministry. He advised that they follow the
example of the Church of Rome. which is
founding educational institutions throughout
the Southwest, often in towns in which it has
not single follower, in the faith that
the seed thus planted would bear fruit a
thousand fold. He had such a school start
ed mainly from contributions from the cit
liens of Dallas without distinction as to
race or religion. This institution must be
put on a firm foundation, however, by con-
tributions from the centers of religious infu-
ences. This school is for the education of
girls, for it is to the women that we must
look for the greatest religious development.
Bishop Williams closed the meeting with
prayer after thanking the Rt. Rev. brethren
who were present for their services. He
also extended thanks to the ladies of New
Haven for their hospitality to visitors. He
closed by congratulating the society upon
the success of the meeting and the favorable
auspices for the coming year.

Many Visitors and Eminent Clergy.

The sixth annual meeting of the Connect
| cut branch of the Women's auxiliary to the
Board of Foreign Missions of the Episcopal
| church opened yesterday at Trinity church.
The church was well filed, mostly with la
| dies, with here and there man in clerical
garb. The vice president, Mrs. Harriet F.
Girard of Middletown, presided in the alb
sence of the president, Mrs. Elizabeth Fl. Colt
of Hartford. The treasurer, Miss Carrie L.
Thomas of Norwich, in her report stated
that the receipts from the various archdea-
conries during the year had amounted to
So, 452, 90, the expenditures $3,150.35, leay-
balance of 1901. IA in the treasury. Of the
sums paid out 5000 went to the school in
Texas, $500 to the school in Nevada, $500 to
the Hope school building, $413.5 so to the
st. Mary's school, $3.50 toward one of Bishop
Hare's churches for the Indians, $400 for
hospital in Montana and other sums for the
work of different persons connected with the
work of missions.
This report makes mention only of what
sums passed through the treasurer's hands,
and the work of the society must not be
judged from it alone, as the reports from the
various archdeacOnr1es snow that much
more has been done. Reports of the meet |
ings of the board of managers were read !
and accepted. Mrs. Girard, the acting
president in her report complained that the |
receipts of the society were not proportion |
ate to its growth. In 1881 the receipts were |
only $51 less than those of the past year, |
while the number of parishes contributing is
much increased Ladies in af1uent cir |
cumstances do not interest themselves in the |
work of the society, and many do not even |
ascertain the objects to which the auxiliary
has voted to contribute. The report calls |
attention to the duty of the society toward |
the 100000 colored people of the South
among whom much work can be probably
DONE
Letters were read concerning the work of |
the late Mrs. Benjamin in the South, whose |
work is now being carried on by her husband |
and daughter. Letters were also read from /
Bishops Whitaker, of Nevada. and Eliot, of |
Texas. Among the notable clerical gentle |
men present were: Rt. Rev. John Williams /
of this diocese; Ri. Rev. Leigh R. Brewer,
bishop OF Montana; Rt. Rev George K Dun |
lap, bishop of New Mexico and Arizona;
Rt. Rev. Alexander c. Garrett, |
bishop of northern Texas; Ri. |
Rev. Benjamin w. Morris, bishop of Oregon;
Ri. Rev. John Adams Paddock, bishop of |
Washington Territory; Ri. Rev. William D. |
Walker, bishop of northern Dakota; Rt. Rev.
E. G. Weed, bishop of Florida.
Lunch was served at Lincoln rink to fully
eight hundred visitors at the conclusion of !
the morning exercises.

Granite City-Cam brid &c Game.

The game of polo at the rink last evening
was one of the fiercest ever played in Capital
Rink, as we'll as one of the longest. The
contesting teams were the Granite Citys of
Augusta, and Cambridges of Cambridge,
Mass. The irst and fourth goal. we're taken
by the home team and the other three of the
five played, by the Massachusetts men, Civ
ing the game to the latter. The first goal
was taken on fouls. Farrell won the rush
each goal The Cambridge men played a
desperate slugRing game and were up to all
the tricks and cheats known to polo players.
They several times tripped up Augusta men
and there was much wrestling. They had a
cunning wav of running on their toes which
was occasionally noticeable. They,however.
were more skilled than the Citys in many re-
spects, while they played good position
game and were as a rule very cool The
bows of the home club were apt to bunch to-
gether too much and exhaust themselves
chasing the ball. The Bay State men did
not have = pudding by any means but had
to work like beavers az will be seen by the
time of each goal, which was as follows
first, 1--WE minutes; second, seven minutes
third, two minutes, thirty seconds; fourth,
thirty-two minutes; fifth, five minutes. In

in length The Cambridges were constituted
