SOME CIVIL SERVICE
POSITIONS TO GO.
President Mckinley Has About Decided
to Open More Place, Fsr POllt-
lcal Appointments

New York, Sept. 20.-President Nc
Kinley has again taken up the question
Of relaxing the civil service rules so as to
open more places FOR political appoint
ments. Some months ago when the
subject was under discussion in congress
the president had the head Of each exec
utive department prepare recommendA-
tons showing which places under his
department best could be exempted from
the civil service rules.
An executive order was drawn up
based on these recommendations, and IL
has been on the desk Of the president
untouched ever since. Now that the
war is not occupying 80 much Of his at
tention and as the congressional cam.
paign Is making the pressure for places
far stronger, the president is consider.
ing the matter and it is expected that
he will issue an order in a short time
taking large number Of places from
the classified civil service and throw.
ing them open to appointment by the
various heads OF departments and their
subOrdinAtes.
The places which will be removed
from the protection Of the civil service
law are those Of private secretaries and
chief clerks and confidential clerks OF
heads Of department and assistant heads
} OF departments and all persons classed as
firemen, watchmen and laborers. The
most important exemption will be In the
internal revenue service throughout th,
country, where all deputy collectors Of
internal revenue and all siorekeeper
and gaugers who receive less than e
per day are to DO taken from the classi
fed service.
In the customs service the only place
now in the classified service that will b.
exempted are two at New York-th
counsel for the board Of general apprais
ers and the paymaster TO the collector o
the port Of New York In the depart
ment Of justice all attorneys and assist
, ant attorneys and all deputy marshal
are TO be taken from the service.
In the postal service all superintend
ents Of branch posiofiices and carriers
stations and all clerks In charge Of cal
y rier stations, assistant cashiers, privat
, secretaries and stenognphers TO post
masters in the larger cities, messenger,
porters, janitors, watchmen and Labor
ers are to be taken from the olassifie
service.

THE NEW MASONIC TEMPLE.
There is Likely to Be Some Delay in the
CONSERVATION of the Prolsct.

The Worcester Masonic Educational
and Charity Association, which has been
invested by the entire Masonic frater-
nifty of the city with the responsibility
OF selecting a site and building a Ma
sonic temple, recently proposed to the
IL Masonic bodies of the city a scheme
for financing the project which involved
an Increased fee for the initiation of
members and an increase in the mem
bership dues in each lodge for 25 wears.
this surplus to be devoted to the tenn
pie fund. 1t has already been submitted
to several of the bodies, where it has
/ failed to meet with favor, and the con-
sequence is that it has been virtually
abandoned. The association is com
posed OF three members from each Ma
sonic body, who in their corporate capa-
city are simply agents Of the fraternity.
The plan offered by them having failed,
some new plan will undoubtedly be mi
tiated, but it may take some time The
| chances, therefore, are that there win
be considerable delay in starting the
temple, and it is possible that lot and
plans already obtained may be aban-
dcned in favor of a new site and new
plans.
| The Masons seem to have met the
same difficulty in locating their build
| 4il5 hldJ llG ClllZE0S IOuIlQ IN the lOcd-
| ton of the post Office and the new city
hall. A large number of the members
Of the fraternity are not satisfied with
the site selected on the Mower lot be-
tween Main and Beacon streets, and
many more are dissatisfied with the
| cost Of the proposed structure, believing
| that the building as planned would be
expensive for the fraternity to build,
and perhaps too costly to occupy after
ifes NSlnti m
has been subscribed and pledged of
which $4,000 has been invested in the
site.
The individual pledges, which cover
period of five years, are still being paid,
and the fund will continue to accumu-
late until some decision is reached re-
garding site and plans, Meantime the
present quarters in the old post office
building are Inadequate to the needs of
the various bodies. and this fact win
doubtless before a great while force the
fraternity to make move 1t is under
stood that less than one-half the MEM
bers Of the various bodies have sub
scribed to the building fund, but there
are those who maintain. that the sub
scriptions would come in much more
freely if there could be change in 10
cation.
Action on the scheme proposed by the
Masonic Educational and Charity Asso-
! alton has been submitted to all the
bodies, but it has been acted upon by
only three-Morning Star and Athelstan
lodges and Worcester County Command
cry of Knights Templars. In each If
was enthusiastically urged by members
OF the association, but the reception
which 1t met does not justify the asso-
citation in attempting to urge it any
further. The commandery, which is
one Of the largest and most influential
of the local Masonic bodies, took action
at largely attended meeting, Thurs
day evening, the discussion ending in
an indefinite postponement of the pro-
position of the association.

dramatic ability, he played his part
well, had an excellent voice, and car
ried himself with good bearing, while
upon the stage. Dennis O'Hara, the
Irish farmer, character portrayed by
William Harper, gave opportunity for
another bit of good acting, of which Mr..
Harper took advantage.
Miss Gertrude A. Trinder. a clever
young woman with pretty face and
sweet voice, fitted about the stage as
the soubrettc of the company, and
quickly won her way into the hearts
of her audience. Between two of the
acts she danced a genuine Highland
fling, and was obliged to respond to
no less than three encores.
