the flower girls decorated the graves
OF the SOLDIER DEAD and performed
a flag drill which covered period of
time amounting to 25 minutes in its
eAecutiop.ne YER being prompted and
never making break. This drill
was reported as faultless and reflects
great credit upon the promoter. Be-
sides the dead soldiers of whom we
believe there are only four whose
tombs received this yearly tribute of
respect, others were not forgotten and
numerous were the beautiful produce
lions of natures products SHOWERS,
which covered other graves, deposited
by relatives OF friends as tokens of
love and fond remembrance. Let
this beautiful custom never be forgot

will be observed as long as the
American people cherish a love for
liberty. The SOLDIER DEAD WILL
NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

Civil Service Extension.

The Civil Service Commission IS con-
Quoting examinations iii a number of
the large cities for the unskilled laboring
positions in the government service, par
ticulariy in the postoffices and CUSTOM
houses, and has found that the new
regulations by which candidates for
those places are examined are resulting
in marked difference in the class OF
persons appointed. The commission ex-
poets that the regulations which provide
for these examinations, which involve
UNCONVENTIONAL test, but determines
the relative standing of the applicants
by their physical condition and adapta-
bility for laboring work. will prevent
any further evasions of the civil service
rules by irregular assignments of per-
sons not qualified for laboring work, as
the new appointments are found to be
dapted to this class OF employment and
not to work of higher grade. II, the
past many persons have been appointed
as laborers without regard to their abil-
ity or inclination to do the work re
quired, and after appointment have Sc
cured assignments to clerical and other
classified positions.
From now on, unless specific excep-
tons are made by the President, all APP
point1nents in the executive civil service
of the government must be made either
from the lists OF the Civil Service Com
mission or from the lists of the boards
of labor employment, which are under
the supervision of the commission.
