ANOTHER ORDER COMES.
That Defers Removal of POstomce
Until July II.

The postofFce will. not, after all, be
moved into the new government building
until July a, and possibly not until Aug.
!. Mr.. hewitt, the architect in charge of
the building, received from the supervis-
ing architect yesterday letter TO this ef-
feet. II was read with great satisfaction
by both the officials of the postoffice and
the contractor in charge of the work on
construction
Compliance with the original order of the
postofiice department would have subject-
ed all parties here TO needless and annoy
ing inconvenience by reason of the fact
that the building is not finished and could
not be finished by the time proposed, July
], and the further fact that the furniture
has not arrived. Had the postof1ice moved
in the employees would have been COM
PEELED 10 work with other workmen around
them and interfering necessarily with the
orderly transaction of business. AS the
rev order has it. they will not have to
move in until all of the work of construc-
ton has been done, and their quarters are
IN complete readiness for occupancy.

PLUMBERS WE'RE EXAMINED.
Five Passed the Examinations They
Recently stood for Licenses.

The board of plumbing examiners met
at the city exchange yesterday afternoon
to pass upon the examinations Of plumb
ers who went through the mill several
days ago There were a number of papers
to look over, besides the practical work
which had to be passed upon in making
up the averages. The board was in ses-
sion over an hour.
Those who passed the examination were
John Collins, l.. l.. Burpee, George Nc
Gnan, l. A. Mccarthy and William
Greer From what could be learned the
examination was conducted on a perfectly
fair basis, none OF the applicants being
shown any advantage over the others
The fact that ex-lnspector Cosgrove was
turned down caused some surprise, both
among his friends and those who had op-
posed him as inspector
According to the plumbing ordinance
those who pass the examinations will be
allowed a license to carry on their bust
ness here, but those who fail will not be
allowed to do so until they have been ex-
amined again and pass. This is probably
wha1 they will do.
Any who may have doubted The good
results accomplished by the operation Of
the plumbing ordinance Will have their
doubts dispeEed if they visit the office Of
inspector CdInpOS ana see some OF the
practical work done by the applicants
for license. Most of the work consists in
making joints and "wiping" them. The
neatness Of the work is, of course, in pro-
portion to the degree Of skill possessed
by the applicants. Some have joints
wiped in a smooth and attractive style.
while the less unfortunate fellows did not
get the solder on so well.
The board was well pleased with the
progress being made by the department
under the new arrangement While In
session a number of other matters besides
the examinations were considered, among
them being the disposition of the globe
valve closets.
Inspector Campos said after the result
of the examinations had been announced
that there had been no Partially shown
to any Of the applicants. In its efforts
TO give all a fair showing he said he did
not think the board had failed Each ap-
plicant stood the examination under ex-
actly the same conditions, and there is
no room 10 say the board Disseminated in
any manner. The same questions were
propounded to an, and about the same
kind OF practical work was assigned for
them to do. The board feels that all the
applicants were given justice.

PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS WAITING.
VIII Not Know Their Fate Till After
Next Meeting of BOARD.

Next Meeting OF Hoard.
The prospective teachers, who stood
the examinations required by the Board
of Education, will not know for some
time whether or not they were success
full. The examinations were about len
days ago, and some of the papers have
been looked over. The examining COM
mittee will complete the work by the July
meeting of the board, and will then pre-
sent the list of those who were success
full.
as the averages for the different papers
are made up the committee will not know
whose they are marking. The personal
equation has been eliminated from the
contest by system of numbering rather
than naming the papers, and no claim of
favoritism can possibly be made. Those
who get on the list will do so through
their marks being up 10 the standard re-
qured by the board.
If the board accepts the names present
ed by the committee the waiting list of
teachers viii be considerably swollen. The
best marks win stand highest on the list
but the prospective teachers will not know
what they MADE. The list presented the
board win have the names ia alphabetical
order.
When the board authorizes the names
being put on the waiting list It will mean
that places may be given those standing
highest as vacancies among the present
teachers occur.

NO SUMNER AUDITORIUM TALK.
Matter VIII Remain in Allegiance
Until Taken Up Next Fall.

The question of an auditorium for Sa-
vannah has been dropped for the time be
ing. 1t is possible it will be taken up
again in the fall, but it is not regarded as
advisable by those who have taken a lead
ing part in the movement to bring it be-
fore the people during the duller months
of summer. Many OF those who might be
expected to manifest interest in the audi
forum will be away for vacations.
1t is not improbable that some other
plan than public meetings will be fol-
lowed when the matter is taken UP again.
1t has been suggested that it would be
better to have men of means and influ-
ence begin by subscribing to the fund for
the auditorium. Their names on a sub
scription list would lend dignity and value
to the movement. Later a meeting could
be called and investments in stock invited.
The gentleman who offered the sugges-
ton says he does not believe anything will
be accomplished by the plan that has thus
far been tried. People have not shown
up at the meetings in any strength.

The Oglethorpes had turned out almost
in full force, and every vote was cast for
the two nominees, whose selection by the
company had already been unanimous.
After the election there was a drill in the

wait till morning before attempting to
penetrate the maze beyond, in search of their
regiment. They gathered up some wood,
built fires, made coffee, and ate the re-
mainder of their rations. They were all
horribly depressed by little Pete Sllidmore's
late, and ~ and Shorty, accustomed as they
were to violent deaths, could not free them
selves from responsibility, however much
they tried to reason it out rs an unavoidable
accident. They could not talk to one
another, but each wrapped himself ND in his
blanket. and sat moodily, little distance
from the fires, chewing the cud of bitter
iancies. Neither could bear the thought of
reporting TO their regiment that they had
been unable to take care of the smallest boy
in their squad. Sis mind went back to
Peter SkidmOre's home. and his mother,
whose heart would break over the news.
The changing and whistling of the trains
kept up unabated, and 81 thought they made
the most hateful din that ever assailed his
ears.
Presently, one of the trains stopped oppo-
site them, and n voice called from the Iocomo-
tive:
Do You men know of a squad of Injianny
recruits commanded by Serg't Klegg?"
Yes. here they are" said ST springinc
up. 'Pm Serg't Klegg.
That's him" piped out Pete Skidmore's
voice from the engine, with very noticeable
blubber of joy. He's the same burned old
fool that kept tellin' all the time he'd lose
me if he wasn't careful, and he went and
done it all the same"
Well, here's your boy" continued the
first voice. . BE mighty glad you've got him
back, and see that you take care o. him

81 was so delighted at getting Pete back
unhurt that he did not have the heart to
reply to the engineers gibes.
