FOR CLERK AND CARRIER.
Another Examination to BE Held for
Postofhce Positions Dec. 10.

Another Examination to BE Held for
Postomce Positions Dec. 10.
The United States civil service COM
mission announ ces that Dec. Is, 1900,
an examination will be held in this
city for the positions of clerk and
carrier in the postoffice service. An
examination was recently held which
failed to result in a sufficient mum Der
of eligibles to meet the needs of the
service; consequently it is necessary
to hold another examination.
All persons who have been exam
ined for the position of clerk or car
rier within the past y ear and failed to
pass may be reexamined upon filing
new applications in due time.
This examination offers an excellent
opportunity for entering the federal
service to bright, energetic young
persons who are not afraid of hard
work. and the commission hopes that
a sufficient number of intelligent, ac-
tive persons will present themselves
for this examination. 1t may be
stated that there is a wider field for
advancement upon merit in the fed
eral service than in many private en-
pigments, not only by promotion in
the same office, but by transfer to
other parts of the service.
The nature of the examination is q
test of practical. general intelligence,
and of adaptability in Postoffice work.
The age limitations for this examine
ton are as follows: Clerk. not less
than Is years. Carrier, between n
and 40 years.
Applicants for male clerk and car
rier must have the medical certificate
in form 101 executed. Applicants for
carrier must be at least five feet, four
inches in height, and weigh not less
than 125 pounds. Female applicants
are not required to have this certificate
executed.
This examination is open to all cit
liens of the United States who may
desire to enter the service, and who
comply with the requirements. All
such persons are invited to apply, but
attention is invited to the fact that
from those certified, the department
usually selects for appointment eli
gibles who are residents of the dis
trict in which the vacancies exist.
Applicants will be examined, graded
and certified with entire impartiality
and wholly without regard to any con-
sideration save their ability as shown
by the grade attained in the examina-
ton.
For. application blank (Form 101),
full instructions. specimen examina-
tion questions and information rela-
tive to the duties and salaries of the
different positions, application should
be made to the undersigned.
