TELLS OF CIVIL SERVICE.
Examiner Server Gives the Teachers
History of This Branch.

When the Normal School met in the
Fort street building yesterday morning,
the feature of the session was the adj
dress of A Ralph Server, chief eXami-
ner for the Civil Service of the United
States Mr. Server held the attention
of his hearers, all of them engaged IN
educational work, and therefore inter
ested in the plans for the verification OF
their results upon the youth He pc
gan by saying that there are now IN
the competitive civil service between
GO. 900 and 100, 900 persons drawing sal
aries for each year of about Sic, OO0,000
It will hereafter be the privilege of the
Hawaiian to have the same chance for
a position in this service as any one on
the Mainland Mr.. Server showed that
as the appointing officer must choose
from the three highest on any list and
as there are fourteen branches in which
annlicants may seek appointment
three refusals being permitted in each'
in reality there We're forty-two chances
for place.
The history of civil service was fol-
lowed. the growth of it since the tlne
of Grant and the impetus about the time
of the death of President Garfield
which has borne the direct result that
| now every branch of the service has us
share of the public servants chosen by
merit
Statistics had shown that so per cen.

CIVIL SERVICE
ANNOUNCEMENT
Two Days Will Be Given
to Grilling in Oc-
tober.

The local board of civil service ex-
aminers has elected A B. Ingalls,, of
the customs service, permanent secre
tary Mr. ingalls, has his office in the
gaugers' division of the custom house,
where he will receive all applications
of those who would take the examina
tons The next examinations will be
those held October 18th and 26th, 1901.
Applications to take the examinations
may be made to Mr.. ingalls, at his
office up to September 18th. The local
boards are always made up of five
members, but as yet there are only
four members here. The reason for this
is that the fifth member of the board
always is the letter carrier member.
This is done for the reason that Con-
gress has provided for the payment Of
| a substitute for the letter carrier while
| he is on such service, something that
has not been done in any other depart
ment. This gives to each board one
member who is not detained by other
work from doing all that is necessary
for the proper carrying out of the ex-
| aminations. The positions for which
examinations will next be held here
are:

The Chinese Washmen Fail to
Agree as to Terms of
Settlement.

There is still war on the Celestial
crescent. for the washmen will not wash.
The committee Of the bosses of laundry
dom, which expected to meet WIN the
union men and arrange for the calling
off of the strike, was not able to reach
conclusions yesterday, and it is not proba-
BILE that any definite result will attend
the negotiations until today. There would
be little more to the strike if the wash
man was not averse to giving up his coin
to join benevolent and protective or
der like the Washers Union. The prin-
cipaI reason for his lack of protection so
Ear, has been that the raw Chinese will
not give SO into the treasury of the
