CIVIL SERVICE
Commission Will Hold Examination,
During March and April.

The U. S. Civil Service commission
will hold examinations at several places
in each state during March and April,
to secure young men and women for
the government service. $3.50 persons
secured positions last year through
these examinations. Probably 10000
appointments will be made this year.
All appointments are for life and for
most positions only a common school
education is required. Salaries at ap-
pointment vary from $3.50 to $1,000 a
year with liberal promotions after
ward. Politics is not considered. This
affords a good opportunity for people
between 16 and As years Of age. Those
desiring places of this kind can get full
information about them, free, by

ence College, Washington, D. c., and

MOLDERS ARE ACTIVE.
Elect Officers for the Term, Union
Doing Well.

The Molders' union is seldom heard
from in the newspapers, but it is alive
and in good shape nevertheless. Every
molder in the city is a member and
the wages and conditions of trade have
been made better by the organization
since it's formation. The molders
usually prove to be good union men in
the broadest sense of the word. They
buy union label goods, and this alone
is more than many others do. At the
last meeting Of the union officers were
elected for the next six months as fol-
lows: President, Ernst Hampt: vice
president, James Hunt; financial Sec
retary, Chas. Johnson: recording secre-
tary, Henry Van Buskirk: correspond

Whether this talk will develop or not

The report of the tax commission is
exciting much comment in labor circles.
We are in receipt Of the following letter
from George w. Meyer, ex-president of
the Stone Cutters National union on
Of personal property:
Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 20, 1902.
Mr.. William E. McEWen,
Duluth, MINI.
Dear Sir and Friend:
AS you are identified with and occupy
prominent position among the labor
ing men of your city, want to call
your attention to the section of the pro-
posed new Tax Law" Title I, section
2, paragraph 8, regarding exemptions
of personal property, which is cut down
to $500.
The only excuse given by the board
in their report is, that in some of the
rural districts the farmers are in the
habit of listing their personal property
in the names Of their several children,
each being entitled to an exemption of
one hundred dollars thereby exempting
nearly all, if not all, of their personal
property from taxation.
l challenge the tax commission to
find dozen such cases in this (Henne-
pin), county or any other large county
in the state, and to cure the evil Of
these few cases they propose to cut the
exemptions from one hundred dollars,
Gas the present law now provides) down
to twenty-five dollars, as the expense
Of thousands of laboring men in this
state.
The intent Of the present law, as I
understand it, is and was, to reach the
cases Of the laboringmen, who earn
from $3.50 to $3.50 per day, and have
no personal property except their
household goods.
The new law requires every Vhe to
make oath before notary public, as
to the value Of his property, the man
who has large part of his property in
money, promissory notes, bonds, ETC.,
safely locked up in his vault, can put
on his list, and swear to the value of
as small part of them as his con-
science will permit, in most cases very
small indeed, and the assessor nor any
one else is none the wiser, but for the
man who has no property but his own
household goods, or in the case of
teamster his team and wagon, (his'
capital in trade) everything he has is
in sight, and he must put in his list
all, at its, value. or 4 the sasse will

Those interested in the study of Ger man will be accorded rare treat on Monday evening. March 1I at the HY- perion, in the production Of the world famed "Iphigenie auf Tauris, by Goethe. MT. Heinrich Conrled, the fe- nowned director of Irving Place Thea ter in New York, who has won uniVer- sal respect among scholars for his dis tinguished artistic ability displayed since he took charge of Irving Place Theater in New York in 1892, has an- nounced the following cast of the troop he will bring:
 Iphigenie .HidWig Lange Thoas Koenig der Tauries s.,,.........
 ..........F Franz Kierschner Prest .. .,........5.. Alexander kottlnai Arkas Vladimir Schamberg
 Fraulein Lange will have the leading part, that of Iphigenia. Last year, as Minna von Barnhelm, she delighted an immense audience with her sympathet- ic acting and charming personality. Fraulein Lange gained distinction Ter herself at the Deutsches Theater m Berlin by impersonating leading char acters in Sundermanns drama. New HaVeners will not soon forget b1anz kierschner's superb presentation or Gust in "Minna von Barnhelm. His reappearance is indeed source of intense qualification. The other mem bers of the troop, though strangers to some of our people, are noted for most meritorious achievements in their pro fession.
 "Iphigenla auf Tauris' excited more enthusiasm at Harvard than any dra- matic event ever given at that univer- sity, even eclipsing "Minna von Barn. helm" This fact is most significant and assures a superb entertainment for Monday evening,

loves art, not for arts sake, but as a means to give expression to his pohtl- cal ideas. He permits only one class Of art to flourish. This is without soul or sympathy, and heavy in expression. Its pathos is grimace and it's stle super fcial In his opinion this class of art alone is capable of awakening in the Germans the piety patriotism and oth CT virtues which they should possess to further his plans.
 He does not feel that art is the eX- pression of the godly in man, that 1t is a sort of personal religion which pre- supposes freedom of artistic con- science which we call taste in the crea- tor of artistic works as well as in the public.
 We desplse that fortunately small band of trade sculptors and painters who, to find favor with fashion, sacri- flee their ideals. With all our admira- ton for Kaiser Wilhelm we will not al low him to tell us what we shall admire in colors, stone and words We re- ceived our poetic liberty from our clas- sic writers, and we shall fight for it as we would for the palladium of the great ones of the German empire.
 If Kaiser Wilhelm II should fall he will fall over a shadow-it will be the shadow of Goethe,-New York Tribune.

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP.

Congregational Increase in the State
 During 1901.
 The Congregational churches in this state during 1901 made important gains in membership or profession of faith and in the trust and special funds Which are managed under it's auspices.
 The total membership of the churches belonging to the denomination in the state is 63,000 in round numbers, Dur ing the past year the additions on pro- fession of faith were 1889. The num- Der of deaths was 1,117, showing an excess of 572 in addition. The total value of the six funds of the Missionary Society of Connecticut on the first of January, 1902 was $1S0,2 96. This shows gain of 19,797,96 for the year. The additions to the permanent funds were: Wheeler fund, $330i.36; Crane memorial fund, $6,000 making total of 99,304 3s
 The increase in the Centennial fund was $1S5,27. The increase in special funds was: Crane fund for Bethlehem, $2,1S0; Branford fund for West Wood stock, $1,900; parsonage for French church in Torrington, $3000; total $7,0S0. The offerings from the Connecticut churches of the denomination from 1793 until 1901 inclusive have reached the sum of 4,293, ,090.60 In detail the figures are: Committees of missions of general association, 1793-1797, $3.75O, ,6S, Mis- sionary society of Connecticut, 119Sl901, frontier work, sS96, ,262.74; state work, $T9S,441.62, making total of $1,1S4,7O436 Congre- gational Home Missionary society, 1S41-1901, value of boxes $5S4 956.4S; contributions, $2519,679 making a total of B. 1O4 .635.61. The grand total of contributions and boxes for 109 years is S4, 293 ,090 6O
 About S6 per cent of the sum has been spent outside of the state and IA per cent in Connecticut. At the pres- ent time a larger expenditure Is re- qured in the state. The contributions should at least be p cents per mem Der for work in Connecticut alone. This would give $15. 75O for state work.

A HusTLING EVANGELIST,

A Western Congregational minister letter. One circular informs us that he Is an ordained evangelist with no less than four degrees from the well known institutions, whose endeavors God has signally blessed" It contains abund-

 and general manager of an old land
 company in which we are urged to in

 an earnest appeal to us to arrange for meetings to be conducted by him.

This business demands haste. Delays means loss" Even small
 sums will return fabulous gains. For
 the widow of small means this is q boom Your fortune depends upon it." The exhortatons to be saved and
 to save sinners are fervid, but they

 gency call" These evqngeistic cir
 cuars bear the warm Endorsements of several home missionary superintend- ents and ministers to his power in arousng the conscience. He writes, asking us to read slowly and think" We have done SO and our disgust is too

Most of the work of the crews during the past week has been tending towards the improvement of the college crew for the Annapolis race on Saturday, May 10. The college crew at present is not up to the standard of former years. The order of the crews is now as follows:
 First-Bogue, stroke; Cross I Kun zig 6, Stubbs 5, Scott 4, Johnson $, Adams 2, Waterman bow.
 Second-Sargent stroke, Laws z, Jud- son 6, Weymouth 5, Coffin 4, Ackley 5, Lowering ?, Hewitt bow.
 Whitehouse is now the coXsWain for the first crew and Byers of the second,
 The makeup of the four oar is at present: Strong stroke, McClintock g. Miller 2, Auchincloss bow; Minor, cox swain.
 The college crew will probably row in its present order at Annapolis, al- though this will depend entirely on the work of the men in the next few days. The crew has covered the two mile course three times during the past week in fair time.
 The university crew rowed over the four mile course last week for the first time this year.
 The launch house is now completed and ready for use. General w. w. Skiddy '65S., was present at the harbor on Saturday and watched the practice of the crews from the launch.

ELM BEETLES.

Tens of thousands; yes! hundreds of thousands of the worms that will de- stroy the beauty of our elm trees this summer might be killed now if a little time could be spent at oriGe in sweep ing up the little dark beetle that can be found on the windows and upper floor of every house on streets where there are elm trees and especially on those facing the greens" and parks. " One lady swept up coal bod full last year Burn them; cremate them we say now.
 An effort was made last year by the D. A. R. to arouse an interest at this season of the year. It was hoped that the beetles might be collected from the spires of churches and the tower of the public library, but what was every body's business proved to be nobody's business, and the worms had it all their own way.
 Property owners have in some cases had the trees in front of their houses white washed from the ground up few feet or a band of printers ink put on A good wetting with kerosene oil or a deooction of whale oil soap and kero- sene round the base of the tree will help little. It destroys the eggs that the beetles are now laying or soon to lay in the crooks of the bark.
