CIVIL SERVICE EXTENSION.
Board of Trade, at Its Annual Meeting, t
Discuss This Question

On Monday evening. at 73O o'clock, next
an event of no little interest to the business
men of the city, and. indeed, to all OF our
citizens, will take place in the hall OF the
Builders Exchange. This is the annual
meeting OF the board, and large attendance
is expected
The principal business to come before the
meeting, besides the election of directors,
will be the reception of the annual reports of
the officers and standing committees, cover
ing the work accomplished by the board of
trade in its several branches during the year
just closed.
In these papers will be presented many
subjects OF great concern to the District of
Columbia, well deserving the attention of the
board of trade and of ali in the community
who take intelligent interest in District af-
fairs. The annual election will be for the
choice of ten directors to serve for the next
ensuing term OF three years.
Among other things TO be considered will
be the two recommendations OF the board of
directors made at its last meeting, the first
touching upon the subject of civil service re-
form IN our municipal offices, with respect to
which the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted, with the recommendation
that it be approved by the board of trade:
Resolved, That the proposed extension of
the law known as the civil service law 10 the
Offices of the government of the District of
Columbia meets with our hearty approval
believing that such action is in the interest of
better and more busness-like administration. p"
The petition OF our firemen asking Con-
gress for an increase of % per cent. in their
salaries, with the understanding that one-half
OF such increase is for the benefit of the fire.

board OF trade with favorable Endorsement.

Several revenue officers from the Treasury

his men would give the revenue officers any
assistance in their power, he always made it
a rule to keep 'hand off, when the govern

when the health authorities forgot themselves
and their epidemic emblems and allowed
them TO remain in front of the infected
premises for twenty-one days. indignation
ran as high as the Bay OF Fundy on an in
coming tide. Several of the property-owners
In the neighborhood put their heads together
and resolved that while it would not be ex-

Was snpplying the pefieienor.

In his youth ana inexperience it occurred
to him that he might with profit address a few
inquiries to the small brother of the being he
adored.
''What did sister say" he asked, "when she
was told / was waiting for her?'
''She said, answered the child, simply.
''that she hadn't the face to come down, but
she's trying to fix one up now"
And with that he smiled sweetly, as little
folks are wont to do when they have stabbed

How Times Do Change.

A certain girl in Cabarrus found a
package of love letters written to her
mother by her father before they were
married. The daughter saw that she
could have a little sport, and read them
to her mother, pretending they were of a
late date, and substituting her name for
that of her mother, and that of a fine
young man for that of her father.
The mother jumped up and down in
her chair, shifting her feet and seemed
terribly disguised and forbade her
daughter having anything to do with the
young man who would write such sick
ening and nonsensical stuff 10 a girl.
When the young lady handed the letters
to her mother to read, the house became
so still that one could hear the grass
growing in the back yard.
