Lodged Against It-No Violation of CivI
service Rules
| As stated IN the REPoRMER last week
charges had been FLED against the post offlc,
at RuI land on account of removals. and al
Investigation ordered. Friday P v. Bum
OF the United States civil service commission
at Washington inspected the Rutland pos
{ flee and the re.ult was complete vindica
ton of both the office and of Postmaster Han
rahan from the charges. Mr.. Bum found
that the local civil service board had done 1t,
work legally and WELL BE saws that Dante
N Walsh, secretary OF the local examining
hoard. has done especially good work Mr..
Walsh II the Youngest civil service secretary
IN the United States. Mr.. Bum also said be
was we'll pleased with the general manage
ment of the Office, and thought that the ger.
eral civil service rules had been carefully
obeyed.
Postmaster Hsnrahan In an interview with
a Herald reporter the day before, had stated
all there was In the case, thus:
A few days after took possession of the Of
fcs the clerks, except Mics Dunton In station A,
left Ia body. then was obliged to make tenn
porary appointments and secure the services of
ex Assistant Postmaster Eddy, II II Blanchard
and Mr. Douglas. a former clerk under L W Red.
ington, to teach the appointees their duties.
About that time special civil service exam
ination was held and two of my appoint es fail
ed to pass. had no means of knowing at the
time whether t1ese clerks passed the examina
ton, and In fact supposed they did pass. SO
left them in the Office, thinking they we're all
right
While on leave of absence to the Worlds
Fair, received a notice from the post Office de.
partment that these two clerks had not passed
the examination and that they must be dis.
CHI ,ged at once. Not kno wing what the t'ouble
was, went directly to Washington and saw the
civil service commissioners and tried to make
some arrangements whereby I uouid keep them,
but my Efforts we're of no avail. / WAS sorry to
let these two clerks so, as they did excellent
work
Since have taken possession of the office
have made only one rem 1va as postmaster and
one MS custodian of the building. l suspended
three letter carriers and gave my reasons to the
department for 80 doing. Their suspens ion was
sustained and three now men app inted In their
places. Everv clerk now In the Office and every
carrier WAS appointed strictly iD accordance
with the civil service rules. l am, therefore,
perfectly willing the department at Washington
'hould investigate my mana cement OF the office
n every particular since l have taken posses
ion. Whatever l have done has been In &C.
ordance with the civil service law, and | mean
comply 10 both the spirit and letter OF the law

Minstrelsy has long ago given theatre
goers d pretty good insight into darky
character and fair knowledge of the
sable people of the Sunny South, but il
remained for Sam L. Jack, whose ia
nous Creole Company will be the at
traction at Kernan's December 18th,
to gather together the native BELLE and
comedians and provide an entertain
ment in which they are afforded every
opportunity to develop their talent and
skill. He then obtained the exclusive
control OF half a hundred and IN re ma
tive artists, who have never appeared
under any other management and who
can be seen only duringt he engagement
of this company. They are the repre-
sentative artists of their race, and have
proven themse yes by their singing and
dancing possessed of the highest vocal
talent and terpSichorean ill. Their
native songs and dances are novel to
any one not familiar with the sunny
cline and entertaining to even those
Who have sojOurned or resided there.
Old southern melodies possess peculiar
charm, while the grotesque dances of
the South are sure to rouse every one
who pulse is quickened by hot pace.
