EXAMINATIONS FOR
POSITIONS AT POSTOFFICE

The United States civil service COM
mission announces that on Feb. p.
1908, an examination will be held for
the positions of clerk and carrier in
the postoffice service in this city.
This examination offers an excel
lent opportunity for entering the fed
eraI service to bright, energetic young
persons who are not afraid of hard
work, and as previous examinations
have failed to result in sufficient
number of eligibles, the commission
urges all persons who are qualified
and who may desire to enter the post
office service, to apply for and take
this examination. 1t may be stated
that there is a wider field for advance
ment upon merit in the federal serv-
ice than in many private employ
ments. While the salary in the post
office, service is usually about 500 per
annNm at the start, this amount com
pares favorably with the compensa-
ton of "a beginner in private employ
ment.
The nature of the examination is Il
test of practical, general intelligence
and of adaptability in postoffice work.
The examination will consist of the
subjects mentioned below, which will
be weighted as follows:

PORCH is SCALED
Thieves Take VaIuables Worth
$500 From Residence of
Mrs. Julia RosenfieId.
MEMBERS OF FAMILY AT DINNER
Loss Not Discovered for Several
Hours-No Clue to the
Guilty Parties.

Apparently emboldened by their
success in smaller ventures the sneak
thieves that have been infesting the
city of late last evening attempted
and successfully carried out one of
the boldest robberieS that has been
perpetrated in the city in some years
The porch at the residence of Mrs
Julia ROsenfield on Nineteenth street
was scaled while the family was at
dinner and valuables worth about
$500 were carried away.
Like the other jobs that have been
committed in the city lately. the work
bears the stamp of professionalism
1t was carefully planned and carried
out without hitch. The guilty par
ties were not seen and it was not sus-
pected that they had been present till
perhaps four hours after they had
gone and they might have been hun
dred miles away.
Miss IiosenneId's Room Entered.
The room entered was that occu-
pied by Miss Irene Rosenfield and is
located in the second story at the
west side of the residence just over a
porch. The family went to dinner
about $50. Miss Rosenfield, who was
writing letter, was in her room up
to that time. About 1880 she return
ed, finished her letter and sent it to
the mail. 1t was about IL o'clock that
she looked for her watch that She had
left lying in its case on her dresser.
Then for the first time she noticed
that it had disappeared and that 9th
er jewelry that had been on the dress
err also was missing. She recalled the
fact that the window was raised when
she came upstairs after dinner and
on looking out she saw the case i'm
which the watch had been left. lying
on the porch.
Watch n Valuable One.
The watch was the most valuable
of the articles taken. 1t was worth
perhaps $500 and was purchased in
Europe by its owner. 1t had an open
gold case with row Of diamonds
around the face. The back was enam-
cled and there were three rows of
diamonds about il. The movement
was Swiss. Next in value were Il di;-
mOnd and pearl pendant worth
about $3.50 and large Roman go,u
bracelet set with opals worth 500.
y valuable pearl dogs head scarf pin
SSh Win uldHloHuS, pearl crescent,
and Il number of other stick pins were
taken.
The stolen articles had been left on
top of the dresser and valuable col
lection of rings, together with u cou-
pie of purses containing considerable
sums of money lying in one of the
drawers, were overlooked. 1t is be-
lieved that the thieves were frighten-
ed away, before completing their
work, presumably by someone coming
upstairs.
\ reward of $50 has been offered by
the family for the recovery of the
iewelry, particularly the watch, but
as there are absolutely no clues
the police are working upon very
difficult case.
