WASHINGTON. May 20.-The policy OF
the Postofice Department as 10 the APP
pointment of minors in the postoftices has
beeen definitely fixed. and they will be
debarred from chief clerkships and dep
uty postmasterships except in a few OF
the third class Offices. where circum-
stances urge their peculiar fitness. Even
then they will not be allowed 20 become
acting postmast5rs on accouu; of the
legal declaration that contracts made 10y
minors are voidable. This debars them
from being even temporarily postmaster
so fer as the assumption of the real re-
sponsibilitizs Of that office is concerned.
An instance is a; Madison, where c. Gar
Der applied for the appointment of per
son less than eighteen years old as chief
clerk and deputy postmaster An inquiry
from the postmaster has Geduced the
statement that it is inadvisable for town
of the size of Madison. having about r.
OG0 population. to take such action Tie

policy and the interests of the service 10
appoint minors. though except as TO ac-
cepting duties as po-tmasterships no le-
gal inhibition of minors generally is cited.
IL was only q short time ago that name
was submitted for postmaster at oxford,

mendations were Of the strongest charac-
ter. but It was found the candidate was
only twenty years old. and the name was

On Friday evening will occur the
closing concert of the Woman's Musical
Club This is attracting much atten-
ton, since it promises to eclipse the
brilliant efforts of the past. The on
ward progress of the past two years
has been extraordinary, and to the
Woman's Club must be accredited the
elements Of success at present dis
cernable in the musical life Of this
city: and though each local organiza-
ton has its influence, its establish
ment and place on the now much ira
versed road is due to the work Of the
first and greatest organization in the
present musical march. As the pro-
gramme arranged for Friday evening
is interesting and comprehensive, and
as it practically ends the musical work
for the season of 80 and 81 of the
majority of lovers of this art, all
musical Wheeling should. with its
presence. encourage their efforts. and
should show its interest by its hearty
support PITCH-PIPE.
