little about trinkets or souvenirs of his

He went on east from Ogden over the
Union Pacific at s p. m. Tuesday,
his main object in life appearing to be
to get back to the messenger office in
Piccadilly.
An examination of the letter sent by
mail and postmarked at the usual
places along the route showed that the
messenger made the only substantial
gain in time at New York by hustling
aboard the train direct from the ferry,
the mail being held for the next train.
Another detail is that the letter was
transmitted by mail for cents, while
the messenger service cost something
over $1,000 but these are mere trifles.

FOR CENSUS APPOINTMENTS.
Director Merriam Lays Down Rules
For Examination.

For Examination.
New York, April 1O.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says
that Director Merriam has promulgated
rules for the examination of applicants
for positions in the census to any grade
higher than that of laborer.
The efforts to incorporate in the law
providing for the taking of the twelfth
census, q civil service provision were
unsuccessful and Director Merriam
found himself threatened at the outset
and surrounded with evils which might
render unsuccessful his most earnest
and devoted efforts to have the best
work done within the shortest practi-
cable period for the benefit of the
country In the hope of averting such
a disaster, the most strinSest rules
within the scope Of executive authority
have been established.
Under the law, such rules cannot ap-
ply in the case of enumerators or spe-
cial agents. or 10 employees below the
grade of skilled laborerS at $500 year.
The rules recognize two lists of appll-
cants eligible to appointments list OF
all those who earn marking not be-
low - and "a list of extra eligibleS,
such as are familiar with the electrical
counting machines used in the eleventh
census; also ability TO make calcula-
lions by the tables of logarithms. and
familiarity with arithmometer or
other adding and calculating machines.
All applicants for appointment are to
be examined in photography, copying,
penmanship, arithmetic, elements of
English and language, letter writing
and elements OF geography, history,
and are also subjected to the practical
tests above described.
Applicants for appointment as stem
ographers and typewriters viii be re-
quired to, pass a supplemental exam
ination. Which will fairly test their
ability for stS.h special work.

Royalty at Monte Carlo.

Monte Carlo Letter.
The Duchess of York. who is with her
grandmother at Monte Carlo, has grown
a little stolid and heavy looking, to my
mind and her manner with matronly
dignity does not add to it that winning
charm that one always feels even in look
ing at her mother, the Duchess of Tecll.
Most beautiful to look upon is the lovely
young Duchess of Portland, who is stop
ping in Mentone; for half the English
nobility are here and at Cape st. Martin:
One quite understands how the Duke of
Portland fell madly in love with her when
she was Miss Dallas Yorke, a young girl
in sailor hat and shirt waist on the beach
at Jersey.
Among the well-known people who are
wintering here are Christine Nilsson
(Comtesse Miranda) and Madame Bou-
guereau, who is at the Hes Britanniques
for the health of her son. who is very
delicate. The other day, taking tea at
