Civil Service Commission Makes . Good
Report OF Those Who Have Been APP
pointed ON Merit Alone.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-The seven
teenth annual report of the civil serv-
ice commission, just issued, is cheerful
in tone. While the commission has
found violations of law, it says condi-
tons are improving. Last year $1,000
persons took the examination, $4,000
passed and nearly 10000 were appoint
ed. From the beginning of the sys-
TENS operation in 1883, more than
100000 appointments have been made in
the classified service. The appoint
ments have been SO satisfactory that
only about two per cent. of those en-
ployed have been discharged for in
competency. The aggregate salaries
of the positions now in the classified
service, numbering about 10000, and
to be reached only through competi.
tive examinations, approximate $751;
100000 year, while the salaries Of all
unclassified positions in the executive
branch of the government, probably
numbering slightly over 100000, are
estimated not to exceed $50, 000, 900. OF
which over 10 per cent. is for the COM
pensation of the 4,429 presidential
postmasters and the 72,165 postmas-
tiers of the fourth-class Offices.

was fine representative OF the
pioneer priests. With a wide expert
ence and an appreciation of the hui.
NOR of situation, many interesting
stories are told of him. On one occa-
sion he was preaching in St. Raphaers
church, Madison, of which he was pas
tor. 1t was fine summer day and
the windows were open. In an adjoin-
ing vacant lot number of boys were
playing n game of baseball. Father
Petit's sermon was on Heaven and
the means of reaching there. He had
Just come to the end of passage.
How, then, shall We reach Heaven?"
he asked, and paused in solemn man

the church window in a high-keyed
voice: "Slide like the devil, slide!" 1t
