Mrs. Hewitt was essentially a clever leader, and the society has sustained a distinct loss in her death. e wiils The Papyrus Club held its regular club day on April 14, at which there was a large gathering of club members. | At the business meeting and the nomination of officers and directors for the coming year the club enjoyed its usual club day’s impromptu pro- gramme. It was German humor day, and Mrs. Henry Bergstein gave some exceedingly funny exhibitions of Ger- man humor. Mrs. W. W. Briggs sang in an exquisite manner some German songs and the members told German stories. A toast written to Mrs. C. Mason Kinne, the president, on the for- tieth anniversary of her wedding by Mrs. Cooper was reread for the pleas- ure of the club by Mrs. G. W. Backus, who had read it at the anniversary din- | ner given by Colonel and Mrs. Kinne |at the Occidental Hotel last Monday | night. The entertainment closed with { the rendition of the “Two Lunatics,” | which was given under the direction | of Mme. Morrow Long. The characters | in the sketch were: Miss Clara Man- | ners, Mrs. S. W. Backus, and Captaln George Fielding, by Mrs. Louise Bat- tles Cooper, who wore the full dress| uniform of a captain of the United | States army. The sketch was greeted with exuberant laughter, the love-mak- ing scene between the two being the essence of humor. The skit went with| a dash that covered the actors and\ their director with added glory. The | open or guest day will be held on April | 22, when Miss McCloskey will present a potpourri of song and story. B . The Cap and Bells, Mrs. A. P.

A pity that Uncle George Bromley wasn't an auditor. How he would have enjoyed the tales— new ones, truly. | Miss Elinor Croudace gave the thoughtful touch to the programme in her exceedingly clever paper on S| espeare—His humor. Mrs. S. P. Blumenburg rendered two piano solos in her well known exquisite style and Mrs. E. P. Heald and Miss Edna Montgomery contributed vocal solos.

From time to time Presidents Cleveland, | Barrison and McKinley excepted from | competition hundreds of . positions which had been competitive. On one | occasion alone (May 29, 1899) 8047 such | pla excepted, But these ex- | cepti were not in the main in the {form of “suspensions of the rules” | which were the only mattérs called for by t House resolution. Roosevelt, however, made them in the | form of sych suspensions for the ex- press purpose of limiting their num- ber. “Moreover, prior to April 15, 1903, | the was a provision allowing anpointments without examination j where the position to be _filled | required such peculiar qualifications in respect to knowledge and abflity, or | such scientific or special attainmeats, wholly or in part professional or tech- nical, as-are not ordinarily acquired in the executive service of the United States. Under this provision President McKinley made 21 appointments and President Roosevelt only five. Instead of making appointments of this kind under a general rule President Roose- velt preferred to deal with each case separately by a suspension of the rules. “During the last year 4688 more ap- pointments were made through com- | petitive examination than in the prev- jous year and 3007 more appointments were made in that year than in the year before. Under President Roose- velt about 40,000 positions have been added to the claseified service. “Heretofore extensions of the classi- fied service have usually taken place near the close of an administration and the exceptions made soon after the new administration commenced. But President Roosevelt at the very be- ginnine of his administration began to extend the number of competitive posi- tions and to strengthen the rules. He also dealt out summary justice to of- fenders, several of whom held positions in his own party.” explained in de- | and with the approval | In President | APPROPRIATIONS NOW THE I5SCE { { |Senators Propose to Devote | the Sessions of a Week | to the Sundry Civil Bill e | WASHINGTON, April 17.—There will be an effort to keep appropriation bills to the front all the time during the | | present week in the Senate, and to this end. the sundry civil bill will be taken up on the convening Monday. When it | is disposed of the pension appropriation bill will be presented, and it is hoped | that that bill will in turn be imme- diately followed by the general de- ficiency bill. The Senate leaders are | apprehensive of the effect of the con- sideration of varfous bills on the cal- endar and are exercising their in- genuitv to keep them In the back- ground There are some features of the sundry civil bill which will cause discussion, | and it is believed that it will hold at- tention during Monday and Tuesday. | The pension bill usually goes through | without debate, but it is probable there will be quite a little discussion on the pending bill. If opportunity is offered Senator Hansbrough wili endeavor to obtain consideration of the Indian agreement | bills. Senator Fairbanks also stands jreadv to seize the first chance that | offers to press his bill for a new ex- | ecutive building in Washington. | Statehood and ship subsidy will be { the features of the House proceedings this week, with conference reports and minor bills to fill in the gaps. The Committee on Rules on Monday wmarmng will decide on a programme | for the statehood bill. The rule in this matter, which will be brought in for jadoption Monday, will call for consid- | eration of the bill Tuesday with debate ! limited probably to four hours. It is now the intention to dispose of this bill entirely . on Tuesday. The rule making a special order for the Gardiner bill providing for a_ joint commission of members of the House and Senate to iInvestigate the whole question of ship subsidy during the recess of Con- gress will be brought forward by Grosvenor on Wednesday. Debate on this measure will consume probably six hours. The Alaska delegate bill will remain the “continuing order” and receive consideration whenever there is nothing else before the House.

The good shepherd knoweth his sheep.” spoke eloquently and at length. part, he said: To-day, beloved bréthren, we celebrate the feast of the immortal St. Vincent de Paul, the ideal good shepherd and one Of the most re- markable men of his time. His name is rever- enced by millions throughout the wortd and on this day his feast is observed in every Cath- olic church on the face of the globe. And why not? It was he, the son of a humble farmer, bern In the south of France early in the six- teenth century, that organized the Sisters of Charity, established schools, hospitals and mis. slons in every part of Europe and commande: respect and admiration not only from the mil- licns of his own people but from the crowned heads of Eurose.
