Appointments for the City Of New York.

Appointments IOI Jig xfty Va ~sow ~SAN''
Amore hungry detected looking set Of fellows
than those who have been hanging around the
United States Marshals ofice during the last SIX
weeks, 1t is hard to conceive Of Ever since 1t was
first announced IN the HERALD that General Sharp,
United States Marshal for the Southern district of
New York, was charged with tue important duty OF
taking the census in the city Of New York. that gen.
teman has actually suffered the t0rments OF the
doomed Since the announcement scarcely an hour
has elapsed save when In bed that he has not been
haunted, dogged about and interviewed by aspirants
TO positions. II he attempted to eat meal at his
hotel half dozen OF these fellows would bounce In
upon him and overwhem him with applications for
positions. He could not get into stage or horse
car that some the passengers who chanced TO know
that he was the dispenser OF assistant marshalships
would not 'g0 for him" there and then and insist
upon their being appointed. Upon three several oc-
cas.ons he was compelled to change his private
Office, so as to eude, possible, these indefatigabe
office hunters They would not take "no" for an
answer, but would return the next day. or perhaps
the very next hour, and renew their claims.
Since the LIST OF the month, the day the assistant
marshas commenced their work, the appointments
not having been made public through the press,
those who were so unfortunate as not TO have re-
ceived positions redoubed their efforts and crowded
around the Office In Chambers street in such numbers
as not only to I'll the reception room, but TO block
up the passage way as well, and If an attache Of the
office attempted to venture out among them he was
at once surrounded by the crowd anu compelled to
listen to such questions as 'Can you tell me whether
or not am appointed Y' "IIas the work OF tax
ing the census commenced YETI" "Say, do you
think General Sharp has forgotten me ~ ''When
will the list OF appointments be published f'
and thousand and one similar Inquiries While
every now and then some unhappy. but still cond-
dent chap, would exclam, ''It's damned queer that
General Sharp don't notify me of my appointment;
certainly he has not forgotten me ~
These appointments were all made several days
ago, but owing to the great pressure OF business,
General Sharp has been unable ere this to get them
in proper shape for publication; but now thai they
published IS TO be hoped that the crowd Of dis
appointed asprants will "glve him a rest" as it Is
impossible for him to make any alterations in the
list, even If he felt so disposed.
1t is thought these appointments will give univer-
sal satisfaction, the General has not made one Of
them without first making personal inquiries as to
the ability and social standing OF the applicant.
The assistant marshalS are appointed TO subdvt-
sions, which consist Of election districts, one or
more, according to the population. The figures pre-
cedmg each name denote the district or districts to
which the man 1s appointed.
