CIVIL SERVICE STATISTICS.
Cleaned from the Annual Report of
the Chief Examiner of the Conn
mission for Fiscal Year.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The annual
report of A. II. Server, chief examiner
of the civil service commission, shows
that during the last fiscal year there
were 60,55s people examined in and
for the classified service. of whom
40,509 passed and 1929 were appoint
ed, promoted or transferred. In adj
dition LIZA persons were examined
for the Philippine service, of whom
$50 passed and 694 failed. The local
boards of examiners specially desig-
mated for the custodian service were
discontinued. On June &c last the
total number of local boards of ex-
aminers was LIES, with n total MEM
bership of ares.
Final steps are now being taken to
consummate the complete %organiza-
tion of a civil service district similar
to the Boston district, with h%eadquar-
tiers at San Francisco, in immediate
charge of n consolidated board of COM
m~issioners. The written examina-
tions required the preparation of 435
sets of examination questions on diff
ferent subjects, which necessitated
'hc phSpaiu'ioh VI l,ool separate
sheets of tests.
Over 100000 sheets of examination
questions were handled. The great
complexity of the work done under
the direction of Chief Examiner Ser
ven is shown by the large number of
examinations which include subjects
of n special, professional, -scientifical
or technical character. OF these there
were 20s examinations, in which s,257
persons took part. Well-nigh every
field of professional or scientific in.
quiry and research is represented in
the variety of the examinations.
The commission has held COMPETE
tive examinations in every state and
territory except Alaska. Several at.
tempts at examination work in Alaska
have been attempted but abandoned
Another effort. however, may be made
soon. Facilities have been furnished
to residents of Hawaii to compete in
the general and local civil service ex
aminations in Honolulu and Hilo, ant
residents of Porto Rico hereafter ma,
take the general and local examina
tions at Ponce and San Juan. Mucf
attention has been given during the
year to the upbuilding of the servic,
in the Philippine islands.

I'LL DISPUTE REVIVED.
Charges Made That Gompers and
Mitchell Were Guilty of nunion
like to lie Aired.

New Orleans, Nov. 1s.-The old dis
the Amalgamated Association of
Steel Workers, and President Com
pers, of the American Federation of
Labor, broke out afresh in the labor
convention Monday morning, and
there is every prospect that on this
occasion the fight will be to n finish.
The charges were originally made by
President Shatfer, after the termina-
ton of the great steel strike of 1901.
They were to the effect that Presi-
dent Gompers, of the American Fell
Grafton of Labor, and President Mitch
ell, of the United Mine Workers, had
been guilty of u~nunion-like conduct
in refusing to support his o~rganiza-
ton in its fight. They, on the other
hand, asserted that the association
over which President Shaffer pre-
sided was trying to violate its agree
ments, and that his stand was un-
tenable. Delegate Sheridan, of the
Amalgamated association, a colleague
of President Shaffer in the conven-
ton, threw the bomb by asking unan-
imous consent to introduce a resolu-
ton calling for IN investigation of
the charges. Both parties announced
that they courted the investigation,
Upon motion of Delegate Mahon,
the matter was referred to a COM
mittee of five, two to be chosen by
President Gompers, two by Delegate
Shaffer, and the fifth to be selected
by the four.

shall cease to trouble themselves for others?
Far distant be that day.
TO-DAY, IN THE CITY, THE LABORING MAN IS AL
MOST THE ONLY SURVIVAL WE HAVE OF KNIGHT.

wonder is people ever should neglect the cultivation of this particular
accomplishment. And we do not altogether lose sight of its value
We esteem it so much we are willing to pay money for it. We want
a respectful, attentive waitress, and when W pay her an advance on
the market price we pay for manners. We trade with a grocer that
is pleasant" buy of the newsboy that greets us with a smile, patron
ize transportation lines whose officials are polite. That which once
was given freely as gentle courtesy, that which once formed part oil
the education of the nobly born, seems in these commercial days
obtainable chiefly for money.
"I1as decorum ceased to exist?" So asked one of our great news
papers lately, and SO repeat we now.
/, myself, am not prudsh, believe in calmly and unashamedly
speaking of legs and stockings if the occasion warrants; but l do not
approve OF boldly rushing into discussion of affairs whose publicity
works for harm. And 1t grieves me to look about and lind that my
attitude in this matter seems unusual, THAT TO-DAY THERE is
LITTLE THOUGHT TAKEN AS TO WHAT is DECOROUS
AND WHAT IS NOT.
IS THERE ANYTHING LEFT THAT is IMPROPER? The
Young Person now seems to have free license, and to use that license
very freely. Boys and girls of to-day calmly discuss questions mere
mention of which once brought the blush of shame to the cheek of the
mature persons.
Are we gamers thereby, or losers?
1t seems to me we deve in the muck quite too much. l am old
fashioned enough to value innocence and faith, and believe where
ignorance is bliss wisdom is worse than folly. Why should we dwell
on doubtful subjects, fill our minds with all manner OF denominations,
EVIL?
A KNOWLEDGE OF EVIL BREEDS S~USPICIOUSNESS
AND DISTRUST, harms both evil-doer and him that knows Of evil
doing. SCOT falls on the unjust and the just, and both are smirched.
1t is all very well to talk Of looking at life honestly, with open
eyes; but there is such a thing as being too wan-eyed; so intent on
letting none of the bad escape ones sight that goodness and lowell
ness are overlooked. These youths and maidens about us are too
dreadfully wise, too dreaduny experienced, too unreserved.
Know all, is their gospel, instead of, Know no evil.

There was also an exhibit showing the
results of Il series OF tests with fertll-
izers and barntGrd manure. That eX-
hibit was worthy of being carefully
studied the three days of the fair by
any farmer. The experiments and in
vestigations the Station is making in
spraying, sea. on potatoes, insects and
fertilizers, are beyond the reach of the
average farmer TO make. They cost
too much and take too much of his
time. The bulletins of the Station are
free to all citizens of Ohio and the
farmer can avail himself of informa-
ton by simply asking for it. Expert
ments in using plaster as an absorb
ant and disinfectant in stables show
ed that when wisely used, one dollars
worth of plaster gave nine dollars
worth of results. The speaker then
explained why the use of air-slacked
lime in the stables or on the manure
pile would result In an actual loss of
manure value, instead of holding it us
p-aster does. Simply stated, plaster
absorbs and holds the nitrogen or am
monia, while the lime sets it free and
causes it to escape into the air.

Come to Stay.
Talks on How to Benefit Plants
by Cultivation.

The April meeting of Summit County
Pomona Grange was held at West
Richtield, April II.
The morning session was called to
order at II O'Clock by the Master, $.
j. Baldwin. The report OF the secre-
tary was read and approved, and the
reports of the condition Of the vari-
Gus Oranges were heard.
The noon hour was well occupied by
gathering around the festal board and
social chat.
The afternoon session was called at
1 o'clock. The first business was the
reading by the Secretary, of the full
correspondence he had with General
Dick in reference to the new Grout
Oleomargarine bill and his vote on the
same. Part of the letters We're quite
lengthy, and gave u full explanation
Of the situation, as it was understood
by General Dick and by the Secretary
Of Pomona Grange.
These letters fully show that Gen
eral Dick voted for the bill as passed
by the House, and that it was the
! proposition TO substitute the minority
bill that he voted against.
The master briefly called attention
to the passage of the Oleo bill by the
Senate, and that 1t is the most import
ant measure passed by Congress this
year. The Grange has been active in
this fight from the first.
A song by the Grange followed, and
then came a discussion on what is
the Experiment Station Doing For the
Farmer?" s. ]. Baldwin said in part:
A few years ago the Experiment Sta
| tion had an exhibit of Sc varieties of
wheat and 60 varieties of oats at the
Akron Fair. This exhibit showed a
sample of the grain in the straw and
the threshed grain in glass bottles,
the bottles being so filled as to show
the comparative yield Of each variety.
