Civil Service.
During the ycur ending June 30, 1902, there
were 14,983 persons appointed to positions in
the U. S. Classified Civil Service, which was
4,(92 inoie than were ever before appointed in
a Mngle year. If you wish information - nhoui
KREAMER.
positions of this kind you can oltiin it free by
writing for the Civil Service announcement of
Uie Columbian Correspondence College, Wash
ington, D. C. The'Civil Service Commission
will hold examinations to secure young men and
women for these places during March and April
at Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Scranton
and Warrcu.
From 3,040 appointments during the first
year of Mr. Mclvinley's administration, they
have increased to nearly five-times that nunfber
President Roosevelt is a firm believer in the merit
system, and as long as he is president these ap
pointments will continue to increase.
The Indianapolis patrolmen are cad In-cause
thev are to le decorated with & new un d impress
ive nickel badge, described as alxnit the hize of
a dinner plate. It is natural for a patrolman to
shrink: from publicity; but he must consider the
interests of the public. When you want to find
a policeman, you never can. The more biill
iantly he shines, the better for you, if you are au
honest man; and if you are a rogue, the more
terror he inspires you with the better. If we
were Caliph of Bagdad, we should insist upon
an illuminated police force. All the night patrol
men should have ml heads and beards and
electric lights. Night or day, a big bell should
hang from their necks. The detective force
would con sist of clairvoyants, clairaudients, tele-
pathists, mind-readers and hypnotists.
' . ' Success.'
Our energies must not be allowed to run to
waste in longing without action. Our latent
strength must be developed steadily aud persist
ently. All our reserves must be utilized, all
our powers conseutrated aud wisely directed to
ward the accomplishment of ihe work we have
marked out for ourselves.
With eyes ever fixed on the ideal, we must
work with heart and haud and braiu ; with a
faith that never grows dim, with a resolution
that never wavers, with a patience that is akin
to genius, we must persevere unto the end ; for,
as we advance, our ideal as steadily moves up
ward. "Success" for Januarv.
We are glud to note that while the Council
ofthoDunkard church did summon Rev. Shel
lenbeiger to answer the charge of shooting the
burglar and though they at first ex-coinmuuicat-edbiin,
have since restored him to all his Minis
terial rights in the church. The members of the
Council admitted that under the same conditions
they probably would have done' just what Ir.
Shellenlerger did. 1
