promotion to third-cass cIerkship on Satur-

action that he is single man, has no intention
of getting married, and his present salary is
more than sufficient for his support that as
his father is employed in the. department, his
own promotion might give rise to unpleasant
gossip and the charge Of tavorltism : that, as L
fellow clerk in his division contcmplates mar
riage, and has long hoped for promotion, an
increase of salary would be more acceptable to
his friend than to himself Washington Star.
