CIVIL SERVICE.
An Important Circular Issued by the Commis- sion-States That Have Their Share.
 Word of Warning.

Washington, July 3.-A circular issued by the civil service commission gives schedule of the examinations to be held in the last six months of this year.
 The share of appointments received by Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Montana, Nevada and Wyoming, is at present excessively large, and no applications for any de- partmental examinations will be ac- cepted of legal residents of these states unless there is failure to secure eligi- bles from other states. Applications from residents of these states and terri tories will, however, be accepted for rail- way mail service and Indian service ex- aminations.
 California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Massa- chusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Virginia Washington and West Virginia have also received an excessive share of appointments, but to less extent ethan these first named, and no applications senger examinations will be received from them. Residents from there will, however, be allowed to take the exami- nations for every mail am Indian ser vice, and for all departmShtal examina- tions. X
 The circular calls attef1tion to the ad- vertisements of individpals and bureaus claiming to haveAspeclAl information. of value to applicants for positions and spe- cial facilities for preparing them for civil service examinations, and says: NO persons have any Information of import- ance to applicants (which cannot be ob- tained without cost from the pamphlets furnished by the commission, and all claims to the contrary are therefore mis- representations. Some of the So-called information furnished by these bureaus is actually incorrect and misleading. The commission does not wish to deter applicants from the pursuit of studies which will fit them for the public servicei even though such studies be along the special line of the examinations for which they are preparing, but it does ad- wise against 'cramming' along the mar row limits of sample questions, because such a process is a failure as prepara- tion for passing an examination, and en- tirely worthless as qualification for the service of the government. It is right and proper for applicants to attend any we'll established school at their own home and refresh themselves in studies but they are advised against paying fees with view to special preparation by cor respondence with institutions claiming special facilities for information which cannot be procured directly from the commission, as such claims are ground less and stamp the person or institution making them as fraudulent"
