THRILLING ADVENTURE
OF WHALERS IN ARCTIC
Rescue ship Finds Survivors of
Dutch Crew Living with
EEkimOs.

DUNDEE, Oct 15.-(Special to The
Bee)--A thrilling account Of Arctic adven-
ture was given by two OF the crew Of the
Dutch whaler, Janita Agatha, who were
brought to Dundee by the Dundee schooner
Thomas,
The Janita Agatha sailed from Dundee
thirteen months ago, and nothing further
heard Of her and the Thomas was fitted
out and despatched in search OF her. The
crew of the Thomas found the two men
living with the Eskimos.
1t appears that the Janita Agatha was
caught in a severe gale and driven against
an iceberg, Attempts to save the schnooer
proved fruitless, and eventually the crew
had to take to an open boat For days
they drifted about buffeted by blizzards
and in constant danger Of being sunk by
icebergs.
Eventually they reached Cumberland gulf,
but found their privations' far from ended,
as they had to live through an unusually
trying Arctic winter with the natives Ma,
tive fare. mainly raw seal flesh, was their
| only means Of subsistence, and even that
was giving out when they were succored
by the Dundee whaleTs.
The remainder of the crew are coming
home on the Dundee whaler Scotia.

Some Things You Want to Know
Government at Work-CiviI Service

Approximately 10000 people are employed
In tho civil service Of the United states.
Their salaries aggregate more than $780,
000O)0 a year. a large proportion OF these
employees are connected with the executive
branch OF the government there being $751;
O0o OF them In that branch. More than
half OF these are employed in what is
known as the classified service. the posi-
lions which they hold being filled under
the civil service law. Last year the posi-
tons subject 70 competitive examination
under the civil service rules numbered pa
$40, an increase OF $500 over the previous
year. OF the 33s54 persons not subject
TO the rules Of the commission the presi-
Gent appointed approximately 10000
The Civil Service commission was created
by what is known as the civil service act
Of 1883. Under the old spells system every
change in the presidency carried with IL
almost q clean sweep Of the employees In
the executive service. 7 MS system pro-
duced so many obnoxious results that II
was universally agreed that subordinate
positions ought no longer be distributed
as a part Of the spells Of political warfare,
but should be distributed under appoint
ments for merit and held during good be-
havior.
Since that time each succeeding presi-
dent OF the United States has extended the
number OF positions under civil service
rules, until today nearly a quarter Of a
million men and women hold their positions
in the government service by virtue OF
those laws That there are plenty Of as
pirants for government positions under
civil service rules is shown by the records
Of examinations during the year 1909 The
commission during that year examined 49,.
900 applicants. OF these $4,000 succeeded In
having their names placed upon the list
Of ellgibes for appointment. The number
OF appointments aggregated 1900. In other
words, one applicant out of four secured
an appointment while one eligible out OF
three was successful. The saying that in
the government service few die and none
resign does not hold true, for nearly the
entire Al 100 appointments were made to
fiil vacancies.
The administration Of the civil service
law is being made more Elective each
year Every few months sees the issuance
Of an order by the president transferring
positions from the unclassified to the class
/ flied service. Last year more than lb'OW
! employees and the positions they held were
| transferred to the classified service Up
ward Of 1900 OF these were the fourth
class postmasters in fourteen Of the states
! Of the union. President Taft has already
| transferred 5000 postal employees this year
| A large list Of eligibles is maintained by
/ the civil service commission at all times
Examinations are held regularly in various
parts of the United States each year
and the applicant is expected to set fortf
in his application the position he desires
/ to fill In addition to these regular ex'
aminatons at stated periods. there are spe
cial examinations held to fill special va
cancies. one may easily conceive the wide
Omaha daily bee., 1910-10-16

range OF governmental activities when Il
is stated that In the course of a year ex-
aminatons are held for nearly 500 different
kinds OF positions. In 1909 3O1 Of the posi-
tons to be filled required educational tests
and 1856 nom educational tests. In the edu-
cational tests the ordinary examination is
about as difficult as that for school teach
ers in the common schools of the average
city.
There are many examinations, however,
for positions Of unusual requirements. The
reclamation service needs civil and
hydraulic engineers, the geological survey
requires the services Of the coal mining
engineers, the Navy department must
have an electrical expert in wireless tele-
graphy. the Department Of Agriculture
asks for a chemical biologist a chief
veterinarian and a chief Of the cattle and
grain investigation laboratory-aI these
and other highly technical positions are
filled from a list Of eHglbles made up by
examination under the civil service. 1t IS
plain that the ordinary government eN-
aminer is not able to mark the papers In
such examinations. Consequently, the
services Of specialists in branches OF
scientific, professional and technical
knowledge are occasionally required.
There are exceptions to the rule that all
positions in the classified service are filled
under open competitive examination
Positions which require highly confidential
service are filled without examination un-
der civil service rules. National bank eX'
amners, receivers in the office of tht
comptroller of the currency, cable cleo
tricians under the War department and
special agents in the general land office
office appointed to investigate fraudulent
entries and other matters of a crimina
nature, are instances of such exceptions
There has been a marked development
in the work Of the civil service commission
This is disclosed by a diminution in the
abuses which the civil service act is in
tended to remedy. Positions formerly re-
garded as impossible Of classification have
been classified or otherwise withdrawn
from patronage; examinations have beer
applied with a greater measure of success
to positions requiring a high degree OF
professional, scientific or technical quail.
fications; political activity on the part OF
employees occupying competitive positions
has met with increased prosecution by the
commission; political levies on office
holders have been less frequent and the
appointing officers of the government are
being relieved from the opportunities for
positions
Only about one-eighth of the positions
embraced in the competitive service are
located at Washington. In administering
the rules in the service outside Of Washing
ton, the commission is aided by some .7O(
local board Of examiners, having all more
than 5000 members. The rules require
that none of these local boards shall be
composed solely Of adherents to one polit-
ical party when other persons are available
and competent to serve
When there is a vacancy in the govern
ment service the official in charge of the
Omaha daily bee., 1910-10-16

bureau or department in which the va
canoy occurs requests the Civil Service
commission TO send him a list OF eligibles
for appointment. The commission certifies
to that official the names OF the three
eligbles for appointment having the high
est ratings upon their examination papers,
The appointing official may select any one
OF the three Formerly IL was the custom
OF the appointing official to reject all GER
tifications until he found the name he was
looking for. II q senator desired the APP
pontment Of certain constituent who had
succeeded in passing the examination he
simply went to the appointing officer and
got a promise from him to take care of
that constituent. Under present rules the
appointing officer may not reject long
list Of certified eligbles in order to reach
the name he is looking for. The rules are
being more strictly enforced and their spirit
more thoroughly lived up to, and while
there is still opportunity for officials MAX
Ing appointments to favor political friends
these opportunities are gradually disap-
pearing.
Men have q much better chance in the
government strvce than women. The list
OF employees discloses the fact that only
S per cent Of the vast army Of workers In
the employ of Uncle Sam are women. II
may be said to the credit OF the women,
however that the records OF the Civil
Service commission show that they are
able to stand examinations better than
their brothers. During the course of many
years the women applicants have had
higher ratings on their examination papers
than the men. However, this does not re-
suit In a proportlonate favor among the
| government officials. The law gives to
the various cabinet officers and other APP
pointing officials the privilege of calling
for male eligibes II they desire, and this
| privilege is frequently exercised. Espe-
clally is this true in the case of positions
requiring confidential service. In former
years women eligibles found 1t compare
lively easy to get positions as stenogra-
piers and typewriters, but today nearly all
such appointments are made from the list
OF male applicants.
Some positions are more easily secured
than others. This is true In the case Of
young men for stenographers The supply
of these has never exceeded the demand
and the same condition prevails in the
railway mail service. in the more i'm
portant positions the supply Of eligibles is
far smaller than in the less important
ones There may be a thousand eligibles
for a clerkship and only one for place
as craftsman. The reason for this is that
in the ordinary position in the government
service salaries are considerably higher
than salaries for like services in private
business, while in the more important po-
stlons the salaries paid by Uncle Sam
are lower than those paid in private bus
mess,

After more than so years Of constant
endcavOr and faithful. service to his
church and his State, the Rev. Charles
W. Doherty, for 33 years pastor of ST.
Mary's parish in this city, died
Wednesday morning at Greylock Rest,
Adams, Mass, where he had been for
the past two years, vainly hoping to
regain his health The end came quiet
ly and without pain and although 1t
was known that the revered pastor OF
St. Mary's was at the point of death,
the news was received in this city with
surprise and sincere sorrow.
Coming to Augusta on his birthday
anniversary, April Is. 1886. Father
Doherty soon attained "a position In
the community that was due to
man of his personality and intellect
Always a deep student of human ma
ture he soon became the confident of
his people and of many others outside
his church. He took an active interest
in civic affairs and his opinions on
subjects of political Importance We're
always sought and respected.
His scholarly attributes en-
abled him to take his place in any sort
of company and his democratic spirit
made him the friend of all. Kind,
courteous and gracious; firm in the
performance of his duty; lenient to
those in misfortune and always
priest of God, Father Doherty earned
the everlasting respect and love of the
people of all sects that is accorded to
but few men in this life. His nature
was gentle and his ever ready smile
was irresistible. In his death the
people of st. Marys parish have lost
a true pastor and the people of Angus
ta will profoundly mourn the loss of a
citizen, whose honesty of purpose ana
whose great integrity could always be
depended on.
Father Doherty was born in Port
land, April Is. 1916 and prepared for
college in the public schools. He at
tended st. Charles College at Ellcott
City, Md, and later finished his &c
clesiastical studies at St Mary's
Seminary Baltimore, and was ordained
a priest in that city, Nov. u, 1877. by
Cardinal Gibbons.
For a short time lie served as curate
in the cathedral at Portland and was
then made rector Of st. Dominic's
church in that city and in 1886 he re-
eeveG his appointment as pastor of st.
Mary's church in Augusta.
When Father Doherty first came to
Augusta the parish of St Mary's was
