C0NSULs IN THE MAKING.
How Applications Are Made and the
Examinations That Follow.

How Applications Are Made and the
Examinations That Follow.
COnsuls are appointed by the presi-
dent, with the advice and consent of
the senate. A candidate desiring ap-
pointment to the consular service
makes application for such appoint
ment through the secretary of state on
a form furnished by the state depart
ment From among these applicants
the president designates to take an ex-
animation those candidates who seem
properly qualified for the service and
who are not from states which already
have more than their share of appoint
ments in the service, each state, so far
as possible, being allowed appoint
ments proportional on the basis of
population.
Naturally if the service needs men
and but few candidates present them
selves from states that are underrep-
resented some candidates from states
overrepresented must also be designat-
ed for the examination. In making
these designations politics is given no
consideration, the service being now
upon a strictly nonpartsan basis.
Then when the set time arrives the
candidate presents himself at Wash
ington and takes a written examina-
ton in international, maritime and
commercial law. political and CONNER
cial geography, arithmetic, modern
languages, French, German or Span
ish; the natural, industrial and COM
mercial resources and commerce of the
United States, political economy, Amer
lean history, government and institu-
tons, and the modern history (since
1850 of Europe, South America and
the far east.
To determine a candidates business
ability. alertness, general contempora-
~ information and natural fitness for
the service, including moral, mental
and physical qualifications, character,
address and general education and
good command of English. he then
takes an oral examination. All those
candidates who receive a total mark
of 80 per cent are then pronounced
qualified for appointment, and their
names go on the list of eligibles from
which future appointments are made.

Another Moving Picture Theatre.

The sliding scale for moving picture
theatre licenses was abolished Saturday
evening in a meeting of the board OF
bailiffs and hereafter the price will be
5000 q year, payable monthly in ad-
vance. AS a result Mrs. Emma Z. Far
rington of Littleton, n. H., will open a
moving picture and vaudeville theatre in
Charles Miners new building on Elliot
street about Aug. Is. Mrs. Harrington
was given a hearing June I and the
bailiffs voted to issue her license for
$500 a year. payable semi-annually in ad-
vance. This was too much, in her esti-
nation and she left town, leaving her
attorney, r. C. Bacon, to confer with
the bailiffs and try to have the license
fee reduced to $500, the amount paid
by the Empire theatre. Mr.. Bacon APP
peared before the board Saturday even
ing. Only three members were present,
Mayor II. G. Barber, o. T. Ware and j.
T. Kaine. After hearing Mr.. Bacon's ar
guments they decided to reduce the price
| of Mrs Farrington's license to $780, Mrs
| Harrington was in Littleton and she
was notified and Immediately replied
by telegraph that she would begin tc
make arrangements to fit up the new
theatre. The bailiffs hedged Mrs. Far
rington about with several provisions
which she must carry out to retain the
| license. She must have the performance
| close at 1890 o'clock each evening, mus
| have adequate fire exits, must give clean
refined entertainments and keep loafer
away from the front Of her theatre
When she was here she promised tina
she would keep up to these provisions
and said she intended to give first
class show in every particular and wa
confident that she would attract good
sized audiences to her theatre after i
was opened.
