AMENDS CIVIL SERVICE RULES
The President Excepts Three Posi-
tions From Classification.


Since President Rooseyelfs advent into
the White House he has found time to
modify on several occasions the rules of
the Civil Service Commission. And singu-
lar enough, the notifications made were
in keeping with the teachings of the lib
eral civil service reformers. The ultra
civil service reformers. however, will
probably criticise the President when
they learn that the vacancy in the office
of steward at the White House was
created by the President
The three amendments to the civil SER
vice rules, as made by the President.
deal only with three distinct positions,
which are. in a measure. personal. In
other words, the appointing officers are
privileged to select some one known per
sonalIy to them as possessing peculiar
qualifications. The amendments to the
civil service rules excepting from examI-
nations three positions heretofore filled
by appointment from the eligible list of
the Civil Service Commission do not ap-
ply to like positions in different branches
of the public service.
The first amendment issued by the
President excepted from examination the
vacancy existing in the office Of the
pension agent at Philadelphia. This is
a position OF confidential character, the
appointce's duties consisting of signing
checks. The next position in which there
was a vacancy that the President took
from the classified service was that of
steward for the White House. This is
very important Office, and was placed in
the classified service by Mr.. Cleveland.
The last amendment, or special rule,
promulgated by the President was on the
9Th instant. and is as follows:
AN appointment to the vacancy now
existing in the position of laborer. with
the duties of coachmGn in the Office of
the Assistant Secretary of the Navy may
he made without examination under the
civil service rules

There is a well-defined limit to the

Venerable brother, health and the

rapidly passed since to the city of St.
Paul was given the honor of being

right that its Catholic people should

past fifty years there arise before us
the pioneer days of that nascent
church, small and humble, indeed, and
to minister to them there We're but
three priests. But now the see of st,
Paul, raised to metropolitan houors,
has suffragan dioceses and all of them
s~ingularly flourishing, not only in
numbers of clergy and faithful, but
also in religious spirit and Catholic in

seeon,. contest ff-aay bstween the two
big racers was nipped in the Gud
through the r1Iorlanate 'buebling OF
the Columbia martiasale when the
yachts had sailed scarcely three miles
of the race. The accident took pace
when the boats were sailing very fast
on the wind, and so close Wee they
that there is considerable difference OF
opinion as tt whGv the Outcome would
have been had they continued On their
ten-mile beat TO the fist mark. the race
being a triangular Il of thirty miles.
The Columbia again crossed the
starting line ahead OF her rival, just
eighteen seconds in the lead, and had
established herself in a COED berth to
the weather of the Constitution. Many
OF the yachts who followed the oats
believe that in three short miles the
old boat pointed higher and footed as
fast as the Constitution. while there
are others who are equally certain that
the Constitution, while admittedly be-
hind, was nevertheless for reaching the
Columbia and would have eventually
beaten her to the first mark. The Co
lumbia had the advantage OF the use of
her baby Jib topsail at the start, while
the Constitution did not set herself for
some time after. When this sail was
in shape the Constitution seemed to
gain.
But the accident stopped all racing
for the day after the yachts had been
sailing just seventeen minutes, and
again the Columbia was towed back
into port. The race, which was the
second Under the auspices of the New
York Yacht Club, will not be resailed,
so that the next time the two yachts
try conclusions they will have the In
dependence as a competitor in the first
race held by the Newport Yacht Racing
Association off this port on Saturday.
Fortunately the accident to the Column
bia was not serious and a new martin
gale will be replaced in ample time for
