ADJUSTMENTS

The cast in paid in Full" present

most competent one. This play was
given at the Grand last year and gave
excellent satisfaction. The cast this
season did not allow the play to de-
preciate. Owing to the street fair at
fractions the attendance was miser-
ably poor. Those who gave up the
lighter entertainment to witness some

Miss Longfellow portrays Nance

There was no particular reason

CENSUS JOBS
TO BE GIVEN
Applicants Between the Ages of 1;
and SO Can Take the Civil serv-
ice Examination.

The U. S. Civil Service Commission
announces that a very small proper
ton of the applications thus far filed
for the examination to be held on Oc-
tober 23d next for the positions in the
Census Bureau, are from the resi-
dents of the more distant states
AS the Census Act provides for the
apportionment of appointment among
the states and territories in accord
ance with the law of apportionment,
the Commission calls attention to the
fact that present indications are that
these distant states will probably fail
to receive their full share of the APP
pointments, unless more residents of
such states apply for the examina-
ton
1t is expected that about three thou
sand appointments will be made from
the examination which is scheduled
to De held on October %, 1909. in all
the states and territories. These ap-
pointments will be for terms of six
months to two years, and will aver
age about one year in length. The en-
trance salary will be 5000 per an.
mum, and promotion to at least 5000
per annum will be reasonably rapid
for those who render satisfactory ser
vice
Under the census law selections
from the eligible register will be
made in the order of rating and in
accordance with the law of apportion-
ment SO that all persons will have
an equal chance OF appointment.
Applicants must be between the
age of 18 and 50 years, except that
persons honorably discharged from
the military or naval service, by rea,
son of disability resulting from
wounds or sickness incurred in the
line of duty. may be examined with
out regard to to age. and except that
boys who have reached the age Of JIG
years and have not reached the age of
! Is years, vii be permite to take the
! examination. and II they pass will
be eligible for appointment as mes
senger boys only.
1t is understood that the Census
Bureau viii make some appointments
/ from this examination about January
!, 1910. but the majority of such APP
pointments will be made between
April and August, 1910.
Application forms and further in
formation may be obtained by address.
