THE ELIGIBLE LIST
Results of the Recent Civil Serv-
ice Examination Here.
Names and Ratings of Those Qualified
for Positions as Clerks and Car
riers in the POstOfiice.

The civil-service commission has con-
cluded its examination of the papers of the
various applicants for enrolment upon the
list of those eligible for positions in the In
dianapolis postofiice and DR.. 5. G.. Wood
ward, secretary of the board, has forwarded
the result to Washington. If, however, the
new administration makes no more changes
than the present one a majority of the
eligibles will stand a poor prospect of get
ting an appointment this century. From
last June until last Wednesday Postmaster
Thompson had no occasion TO make sim
gle appointment On that day a vacancy
occurred and the civil-service list was sought
after it had had long interval Of rest.
AS soon a name has been on the list
a year it is dropped unless he is re-ex-
amined and succeeds in getting rating Of
70 per cent. or over. Four of the men on
the list given below were examined April
3, 1898, that their old ratings appear op-
posite the names, although they were ex-
anined again with the class of Feb. 6.
The ratings they received in this recent ex-
animation will take effect on April s. 1894
when a new list will be gotten out, as a
number will be dropped at that time owing
to expiration of the time limit.
OF the Seventy-two applicants examined
on Feb. 6 thirty-nine passed and were placed
on the list. A few Of the names have been
continuously among the eligibles for sew
eral years past and are likely to continue
there as long as the examinations afford n
chance, however remote, of securing posi-
ton Their rating is never b high enough 6n to
but as they have nothing TO lose they ap-
pear willing 10 take 1t. If all the employees
in the postoffice should happen 70 drop dead
some fine day the eligible list might be sub
1ect tC n severe strain. Otherwise IL Is not
likely to be drawn on sufficiently to require
additional examinations and an appeal for
volunteers. The list as it stands to-day is
as follows:
