sidered The action OF the board OF esti-

the whole the appropriation OF $4,000
for the base of the Alpheus 3. VIII

1t was understood, when that
amount was disallowed last year, that
it would be granted this year said
Aid Vernon. The $25 900 additional
required for the monument TO the citi-
zen soldiery OF Michigan has been
raised. and Henry Merwin Shrady is
engaged on the work, but II cannot be
completed until the base IL supplied.

Mail Service Exams
Change Laid 10 Belief Negroes
Will Not Fare So Well Under
Democratic Rule.

The prospective change OF politics in
the administration Of national affairs
provides a ray of hope for white men
who seek entrance into the mail serv-
ice, and corresponding gloom for ne
groes.
So much was proved by a group Of
"a young men who today stood exami
nation in Atlanta under the civil serv
ice for the position Of railway mail
clerk Only go OF the group were ne
groes, whereas the proportion in pre-
vious examinations has been the other
way.
Examiners can give no reason for the
unusual condition, except that the white
men consider their chances better than
usual, with a Democratic adninistra-
ton in sight and maybe hoping for a
cessation Of the appointment of negroes
to work in the mail service. The ranks
of mail clerks and carriers now largely
are recruited from negroes The posi-
ton Is altogether one Of civil service,
however, and the hope is self generated.
The examination held today is spe-
cially called. The need of clerks in
the railway mail service is great, the
eligible list being exhausted, and the In
creasing weight Of parcels post matter
holding forth promise of heavy work.
The position for which the examination
is held pays 5000 a year as minimum.
