for Positions in the Service Last Year.

Washington, May as.-The annual
report of the chief examiner of the
civil service commission has been made
public. It shows that during the year
ended June 80, 1900, 1854 persons
took the competitive examinations for
original appointments to the CLASH
fed service. Of these 1872 were for
the departments. 2,349 for the gov
eminent printing Office, 1896 for the
custom house service, 455 for positions
under collectors of internal revenue
and 1886 in classified post offices.
The report instances some frauds dis
covered in examinations, resulting in
barring offenders from future exam
nations and says it. is now well-nigh
impossible for collision to occur with
out leaving its ear-marks and being
followed by summary punishment.

Free Themselves from Their Stage Roles
New York, May 2S.-The thirteenth
anniversary of the American Sabbath
union was celebrated last night by a
special service at Calvary Baptist
church, this city. Rev. DR.. George C.
Lorimer, of fremont temple, Boston,
delivered the chief address. DR.. Lori

part:
become a national sin, and is rapidly be-
coming national peril as well. AS to
theaterS and concert halls, where most
unsacred entertainments are given as
sacred concerts I will say that such
performances never did and never can
give rest. 1 object to Sunday entertain
ments because they deprive those who
take part in them from having their rest.
whom good word is seldom spoken. Why
would it not be well to give the saloon
keeper one day in which he would have
an opportunity to think over the nature
of his business, and whether it is well for
him to put before men that which will
destroy them? And let actors have a
chance to disentangle themselves from
identity with the characters they portray.
Those who object to giving the people
of the stage rest are men who look upon
actresses only as their prey, and pursue
them with purposes intent and vile.
plead for Sunday workers of every sort.
There are many churches which fail to
keep the Sabbath holy. The pulpit is no
place for chalk lectures magic Ian
terms or other cheap paraphernalia. Let
us put out of the church whatever is
contrary to the spirit of worship. And
let us SOW that spirit which the Spartans
displayed when they sent word to the
Persian, that they would fight his army.
If they were alone and had but LOCO men.

ton of the Christian Sabbath.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR U.0F |.
PLAYERS FROM THE FOUR SCHOOLS
WILL FORM THE TEAM.
Schedule Arranged for Games with
Good College Teams-Coach Kelly
in the East-GeneraI Sports.

The football team of the University of
indianapolis will open the season on Oct
10 with Earlham College at Washington
Park. The prospects of the u. of 1. team
are more promising than they have been
since the days when Butler College held
the state championship. Last year the
nucleus of the team was in Butler College,
and that school received the greater part
of the glory This year each of the four
schools will have an equal share in the
work
Coach Kelly. who is row in the East
will arrive in Indianapolis about the 18th,
and will at once proceed to get the men
together for the first practice. In the med
ical, dental and law schools this year
there will be some of the strongest football
players in the State. These men are anx-
ious to get on the gridiron, as they realize
that this year they will be playing for the
University of Indianapolis and not for But
Ter College. There will be several new men
in Butler who will materially strengthen
the team.
Enthusiasm will be higher than in pre-
vious years, as the city school men will
have a more direct interest in the team.
1t is expected that the attendance at the
games will be sufficiently large TO defray
all expenses. and that the eleven will not
want for rooters. As the schedule now
stands Indianapolis lovers of the great
college sport will be well entertained, as
three and possibly four games will be
played in this city.
Manager Frank Long and Captain Otis
Pritchard will arrive in the city a week
before the schools open, and will at once
commence preparations for the opening Of
the season. The schedule is follows:
University of Indianapolis
With Earlham at IndianapOlis-Oct 10.
With Franklin at Indiana polis-Oct. 20.
With Wabash at Observation-Disclosures. s.
With Franklin at Franklin-Nov. s.
With University of Louisville at Indian
apolis-Nov. rs.
Nov. 16 and Thanksgiving are still open.
The management is holding these dates
until word is had from some of the larger
schools. The games will be announced in
a few days.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Sept. 9.-The
City Council has commenced an undertake
ing of considerable Importance. The city
administration will endeavor to take into
the corporation all the factories now Dor
deTing on the outskirts and in most in
stances enjoying city advantages and fire
protection. The extension of the east limits
is TO also include the main line Of the l.. +.
K w Railroad and several miles of side
ings. The first effort is to annex the large
plant Of the American Window Glass Com
pany. known as factory No. ,, and then
continue the work until all are inside and
paying city taxes. The County Commits
siOners have approved the petition of the
city to annex the big South Side industry
and the glass company will carry the mat
ter into the Circuit Court. The company is
now paying $1.37. the township rate. TO
which must be added s1.25, the city rate,
making A total of $2.62. This Is not the
first effort that has been made to get the
factory in and there is little prospect that
1t can be done now without a determined
resistance. If the city is successful in
bringing these industries into the city
limits great sum Of money will be derived
with which TO carry on the city administra-
ton.

buge trills:
For YOU bouquets and ribboned wreaths-for VOL
the shores a-crowding.
For you they call. the swaying mass, their eager
faces turning:
Hear. captaini dear father
This arm beneath your head.
II Is some dream that on the deck
You're fallen, cold and dead.
My captain does not answer. his lips are pale
and still;
Ny father does not feel my arm. he has no pulse
Will
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage
closed and done
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with
object won;
Exult o shores and ring o bells.
But /. with mOurnful tread.
Walk the deck my captain lies
Fallen cold and dead.
Walt Whitman. on the death OF Lincoln.
