has been the effort to license this vice by
legalized immortality, so as to cvade Its

Mrs. Armston Grant was then intro
duced. She has been engaged in the
work for twenty-five years. She vouched
for the t~ruthfulness of Mr. tevad's charges
as published in the Pail Mall Gazette,
saying that she would stake her life for
their correctness. She denOunc-
ed the British government
blue books as containing stories of the
wrong dOings of the peers of Great Brit
ain, even worse than those published In
the Pail Mall Gazette. Girls, before there
was legislation in the matter, were taken
in droves by PROGRESSES to the continent
to fill houses of iIl-fame under the pre-
tense of getting them places at service.

a woman should know how often chill

she is the mother of their minds and souls
as well as their bodily frames. She also
said that the dressing of our children

Harriet B. Shattue said that a wrong to

- preslasnt INSTRUMENTATION.

WAaHrNoToN, March s0-The presi-
dent has sent d letter 10 the civil service
commission recommending the extension
Of the limits Of tie classified service, and
also 4 better classification IN the several
departments. He says: I wish the com
mission would revise these Consultations
and submit 70 me 4 plan which win as
far as possible make them uniform and
which will especially remedy the present
condition which permits persons % enter
a grade In the service III the department
without any examination which In anoth-
OK department can only be entered after
passing such examination. This, / think,
should be done BY extending the limits
0f the classified service rates than BY con-
tracing them. One of the commissioners
said today that the views Of fhe cOanmis-
sion are Id full accord with those OF the
president.
