WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The Civil-serv-
ice Commission has issued a circular which
is being sent to the members of the seven
hundred boards of examiners throughout
the country on the political activity of
federal officers and employees" 1t calls at
tention to extracts from the executive in
structions of July IA, 1886, which, the circu-
lar says. are still in force, and which are
republished for the information and guild
ance of all officers and employees in the ex-
ecutive civil service. The circular then
says:

that the best interests Of the service viii
be promoted by the nonparticipaton of all
members of its boards OF examiners in po-
litical conventions or in the work OF polit-
teal committees. While attendance at po-
litical convention as a delegate or member

itself a violation of the civil-service rules
the commission holds that all partisan
activity, If sufficient to impair usefulness
as a representative of the Cfvil-service
Commission, is sufficient cause for removal
from membership on any of it's boards of
examiners. Section of the civil-service act
Of Jan. 16. 1898. provides that no person in
the public service has any right to use his

JACKSON, Miss, Oct. A.-The State
Board of Health at o'clock this evening,
in view of the fact that climatic conditions
no longer favorable to the further gen.

removing all quarantine restrictions on pas

precautions, the board believes to be COM
paratively small The official report of the
board for the entire State to-day shows

Teresa" written by George Pleydell
Bancroft, son Of Sir Squire Bancroft,
but the piece does not seem to be any
thing more than clever beginners

evils in Italy, and the heroine, after
killing with a hairpin the villain who
has assailed her, commits suicide quite
unnecessarily with the same weapon.
