Civil Service Reform.

4 N AMENDMENT to the civil
service law has been pro-
4 n posed by Representative La
cey, Of Iowa. which has the
merit of striking happy medium be-
tween those who want office holders
elevated into separate caste and
those who want no civil service regu-
lations at all.
Mr.. Lacey's bill provides that "all
persons now or hereafter employed in
the classified civil service, unless re-
moved for cause or as provided by law,
shall serve for term of five years
only from the dates of their several
appointments, subject to all the rights
of removal, transfer or reduction as
provided by law. They are to be elig-
ible for reappointment without further
certi:lcation from the civil service COM
mission, but upon such reappointment
shall be subject to such examination
as may be provided by the head Of the
department, bureau or office in which
such person Is employed; such re-
examination shall be a practical one
and shall be made with reference to
the qualifications and fitness OF such
persons for the service in which they
are to be employed"
The practical advantage to be gained
from such a measure Is tire check it
would put upon the tendency Of the
average federal place-holder under the
existing civil service rules to grow IN
"uppishness" with growth In age OF SER
vice and to feel Independent Of SUPER
visory authority. Tho best work IS
seldom done by the employe who imag-
ines that he is holding down life JOB.

TLere need be no hesitancy In pro-

ment at keith's the greatest ever offered
In Providence as regards the high quality
of the various acts; and that the mana
gerial estimate placed upon the bill is en-
dorsed by the popular verdict the immense
audiences amply demonstrate. "Riche-
lleu's Stratagen" as presented by James
L. Dodson and company, is unquestion'
ably the strongest dramatic feature ever
seen In vaudeville; and the work ot the
star Is In every respect worthy of his
reputation as the greatest character actor
of the American stage, while his support.
ing company Is the best ever seen here In
support Of vaudeville star. Jolly oe
Hart and dainty Carrie DeMar are seen
In IA Close Call, much the best of all
their entertaining musical sketches, with
It's exciting "roos,er fight" finish and its
catchy songs and lively dances, and they
score even more strongly than ever. Kara
Is beyond question the greatest juggler
ever seen In Providence, both as To the
novelty and finish Of his work and as TO
the remarkable surencss, dextcrity and
neatness with which Il IL performed.
Sager Midgely and Ger,ie Darllsle are
likewise preemlnent In the portrayal OF
rural juvenile comedy, and keep the house
In an uproar OF laughter Tor half an hour,
while their songs and dances evoke en-
