Tallahassee, Feb. 1.-The Matinee
Musicale, given By the college faculty
Feb. Sd, on the occasion of the cen
tenary of MendeIssohn. was one OF
the most charming entertainments
ever enjoyed in this city The pro-
gram was daintily arranged IN booklet
form. containing several pages, the
first Of which was ornsmented with
a photograph of the great musician.
Interspersed throughout were short
paragraphs of criticism bearing upon
the selections given. and last, the
following sheFt description of Men
delssohn as man, and musician, and
the influence of his work in the mus
zeal world.
Mendelssohm was as man, musi-
clan, conductor, pianist, organist and
composer. one of the, most powerful
Influences in molding tae musical
thought and shaping, the musical
tendencies OF the second and third
quarters of last century; he was a
musician Of the highest tecanical at
taiHments, the bEoadest and Most en-
lightened culture, a COnsunlmate mas
ter OF form, an original inventor of
the domain of melody and harmony
and in his own peculiar field of TO
mantle emotional expression he was
unapproaehed"
On another page Mendelssonn is
compared to I4ongfellow 1t is said
that the musician and poet are alike
in almost every feature. Both in tenn
perament, objective and optimistic
Both. are graceful, fluent, melodious.

superior and well-disciplined powers.
nobility of sentiment and ease and
grace of manner. Both have reached
the public ear and heart as no other
talent OF equai magnitude has ever
done"
There were social features connect
ed with the matinee that made the
celebration especially delightful The
guests present had been invited TO
meet-Mrs. James C. Globes. the mothr
of Governor Gichrist. in whose honor
the matinee Was given. The college

suses, the eleventh and the twelfth,
were taken under provision OF law
excluding competitions; that is, neccs-
stating the appointments being made
under the spells system. Every man
competent to speak with authority
because of his knowledge of and IA
miliarity with the work OF those cen
suses has stated that the result was
to produce extravaganza and demon
aliZation. Mr. Robert p Porter, who
took the census OF 1890, states that
The efficiency of the deeen-fal
census would be greatly improved
and its cost materially lessened if 1t
were provided that the employees
should be selected in accordance 1itn
the terms of the civil service law"
Thoroughly Demoralizing.
Mr. Frederick H. Wines, the as
sistant director of the census OF 1900,
states as follows:
"A mathematical scale was worked
out by which the number OF assign
ments' to each senator and represent
alive was determined in advance. so
many appointments to q senator,
smaller number to a representative,
half as many to a Democrat as a Re-
publican, and in Democratic states
and congressional districts the as
signments we're made 10 the Republi-
can state and district committees.
The assignees named in the first in
stance the persons to be examined.
They were afterwards furnished each
with list OF those named who haC;
passed and requested to name those
who they desired TO have appointed.
Vacancies we're filled In the same
manner. This system was thorough
~ satisfactory TO the majority OF the
politicians interested, though there
were q few who refused to have any
thing to do with it. The effect upon
the bureau was. as may readily be
imagined, thoroughly demoraIizing."
Would Save So, 600, 900.
Mr.. Carroll ID. Wright, who had
charge of the census bureau after the
census Of 1890. estimates that 81

force had been brought into the cias-
sified service, and adds:
I do not hesitate 10 say one-third
of the amount expended under nv

wasted, and wasted principally on aos-
count Of the fact that the Office was
not under civil service rules
In October. 1893. when l took charge

a constant reduction for many months
