THE DOARD OF EXAUINERS IN THE WASHINGTON OFFICE AND THE METHODS OF RATING THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED—BETORTS OF ESPECIALLY MERITORIOUS CLERKS TO BE MADE QUARTERLT. It has for some time been the custom in the city post office to subject certain distributors in the mailing and the delivery divisions to ex- aminations to test their ability as to accuracy and speed in the distribution of mail matter, and, toa great extent, promotions were made accordingly On January 1, 1892. in compli- ance with the order of the Postmaster General (whe had seen his efforts in this direc- tion crowned with success ao far np the Post Office Department was concerned), | he merit system was extended to all offices embraced within the civil service rules, which are those employing fifty or more clerks, | and number about fifty offices, thus making | merit the test of promotion and giving a for- mula by which all ratings should be made.

In several of the windows to the north of et entrance are signs that bear the single word “Cafe.” ‘They are not done in what is usually referred to as the bighest style of the sign painter's art. ‘They are simply large pisces of white paper and in large lettering, evidently done with a of charcoal, is the word that tells to the ‘outside world that within may be bad the re- freshment that exhausted nature is suppose to require about the noon time of the day. There is no sign anywhere upon the building to de- | Mades’ Hotel, where a supper was served. The gested as a fair way of regulating the matter that 60 out of a total of 100 should be the standard as to office record and that! this should be given equally for: 1. Regular- ity and promptness of attendance; 2, ability; $, habits, application and industry; 4, adapta- | bility, and 5, health: making these five subjects marked at the rate of twelve euch the daily record of each employe, provided he should be perfect in all respects. ‘In addition it is re- quired that the clerks shall be subjected to an examination embracing letter writing, mathe- matics, accounts, questions on oitice work and practical questions in regard to the postal serv- ice generally, making five questions rated equally. at eight each aggregating forty, which added to the sixty for office record makes the total 100. ‘There is also for distributors and stampers a separate examination, which to all intents and purposes ia about the same as has { for some time been in vogue and has hitherto been an adjunet to promotion, but in future in connection with the oftice record will be neces- sary for the same. IN THE WASHINGTON OFFICE. The Washington city post office promptly obeyed the order, recognizing ite fall value, not only as a test of fitness for promotion, but also as an obvious consequence the test for re- duetion, ax the office record of all clerks will be examined every three months and the board of examiners will in accordance therewith recom- mend to the postmaster reductions, suspen- sions or dismissals ay they may deem proper, judging from the record and from the redue tious. Means wili be furnished to promote, ac- cording to merit, those entitied to advancement. ‘The board of cxaminers for the city post office, which was nominated by the postmaster and approved by the Postmaster General, con- sists of 8. H. Merrill,assistant postmaster, pr ident; W. D. Peachy, superintendent registra- tion division, secretary; James E. Hell, super- iutendent delivery division; A. P. Springer. supermtendent mailing cavision; H. L. Joun son, superintendent money order division; W Scott Lowers, superintendent station C, and F. A. Grant, euyerintendent East Capitol station, who have regularly organized and established rates of marking, which they believe will be just to all concerned. ‘The board is ready to conduct examinations whenever opportunity affords. It is also ordered that at the end of each quarter the postmaster shall recommend to the Yostmaster Gencral those clerks who are con- sidered of especial merit, and future clerks for the Post Omice Department will be selected | from these merit lists ax sent in from the forty- | eight offices. Under the e1vil service rules any | naturalized citizen over eighteen years of age, who sees fit to apply for examination and passes the same, may be drawn asa cierk in the city post oflice or in any classified post office, but for transfer to the Post Ortice Department it is necessary that the clerk appiying for transfer be from some state whose quota is not full. This will make transfers from the Washington city post office very rare, us almost all the clerks now employed and thore upplying for examin- ation are residents of the District. There is a steady demand from the Post Oftice Depart- ment for transfers trom this office, and those who established an outside residence and have been transferred have been singularly success- ful in the examinations for promotion in the Post Ottice Department and have proved that the training they received in the Washington office has been of great advantage to them. ——_—_ THE WASHINGTON FLORISTS’ CLUB Members Elect Officers and Enjoy a Banquet at Which Pleasant Speeches Are Made. ‘The Washington Florists’ Club met last night at their club rooms in the Botanical Gardens and elected officers for the ensuing year, as fol- lows: President, A.

Pecple who do not know who St. David wasand cannot un- derstand why the first of March should be re- garded as his day are not on speuking terms with Welsh history. Everybody bas more or lesz of an acquaintance with St. Patrick and the auniversary of his birth, but only afew know that St. Patrick lived at Mynyw (called Menevia by the Romans) before he migrated to Ireland on his auake destroying expedition. Mynyw was the home of St. David. In these days it is a decayed Episcopal city, built on the western extremity of Wales. St. David, or St. Dewi, was born abont the end of the fifth cen- tury. He was a successful evangelist, an orator of great power and an indefatigable founder of chapels and mouasteries. He died in the year 601. Where his monastery-residence stood there was founded, in 1180, « cathedral, which is still in existence and use. elshmen are accustomed to wear leeks in their coats on St. David's day. and a few of ese odorous edibles were used as bouton- nieres in this city yesterday. The custom had its origin, tradition says, about the year 693, when the Saxons and Britons were at war. The Saxon leader dressed bis men in the British costume, but King Cadwallon discovered the trick and marked bis soldiers by giving each one a leek to wear. Last night the anniversary was celebrated by the Cambrian Society. ‘The celebration was largely in the form of « banquet, spiced witb | oratory, elocution and vocal selections. In the sence of President Oliver (who was sick), | 4 large in one. Archie Boyd, as Joshua Whitcomb, the representative of honest simplicity, com- bined with shrewdness so often met with in the raral character, was warmly applauded. There is a great deal of enjoyable music in the performance. New Natioxar Taxaren.—“The Charity Ball” drew a good house at the New National Theater Monday night. The play met with ite usual hearty reception. It is representative of the more refined school of modern dramatic work and is commendable for the ingenuity of its plot and the force of its situations, as well as the natural manner in which they are reached. Ate lines are bright, sometimes brilliant, and its characters are strong, but not overdrawn types of the people of today. ‘The company is one that gives ench role the benefit of superior abilities. “There were no deficiencies either as to scenery or costuming. Acaprmy or Music.—Lew Docketader’s min- strels furnished a very enjoyable entertainment at the Academy of Music Monday night. The a the end men are not antiquated and Frank Girard makes aneasy interlocutor. Lew ! | | Dockstader is a genuine humorist and in his | monologue made no end of fu nd were also highly amusing. Geo.

He also introduced what he cally s banjay, which is a cross between a banjo and a mandolin, and which he played with excel- lent effect. The olio performance presented some very good peyple. The singing force is | well balanced anu every number was encorod. Altogether the Dockstaders furnish the most | pleasing minstrel show that has been here this season. E Harrw’ Brov Turaten.—The “Fast Mail” was on time Monday night and reached the Bijou shortly after $ o'clock. A large audience witnessed its arrival and vigorously applauded the acts incident thereto. ‘The play of the! “Fast Mail” is nota new one in Washington, | yot it has been rewritten and considerably | changed, so that in reality it is virtually new. | The company is good and the scenic effects of the first-class.

Kernay'’s Lycevm Tuxarer.—The Night Owls prove a good attraction at Kernun’s and aiuuse a large auaience nightly. Forty | fine-looking damsels impersonated the owls.

His analysis of the character and meau- ing of each composition just before its rendi- tion upon the piano, takes away entirely the usual monotony of a piano recital, and makes his evenings of rare interest to lovers of art. Seats are on sale at Ellis & Co's. MestaYeR axp Vavouy.—The Grand Opera House will be given over to far¢e comedy next week for the first time in several mouths, and when it is said that the chief fun makers are none other than our old time friends, Wim. A. Mestayer and Theresa Vaughn, the story of a very merry week is told. “Our Grab Bag” is the new piece which serves to introduce these popular favorites. Mr. Mestayer's past coceys in comedy construction are a guarantee for the future, and he is said to have exhibited striking improvement in “Our Grab Bag” over his many previous efforts. ‘The Mestayer-Vaughn Com- pany is composed of twenty exceedingly clever comedians and surpassingly beautiful young ladies, singers who can sing and dancers who can dance. The sale of seats commences to- morrow. Tue Ivy Leay.—Next week will bring to Harris’ Bijou Theater the established favorite, “The Ivy Leaf,” as presented by W. H. Powers. ‘The play is one of great popular interest and this occasion will be made one of peculiar 1 | shaper from the fact that arrangements have m made with Harris, Britton & Dean and the “Ivy Leaf” management by which the Woman's Relief Corps of the department of the Potomae is to participate in the proceeds. The fund thus established isto constitute a fund for the entertainment of the ladies who visit the G. A. K. encampment in this city. Theengage- ment has been given enthusiasticattention by the Grand Army people, aud the merits of the en- tertainment are such that at cannot fail to com- mand liberal patronage. The story is of a be. trothal by the edict of a dying father that is well nigh thwarted by the machinations of a jealous and designing villain. ‘The villain is at last overthrown with the aid of a light-hearted, fun-loving, shrewd Irishman. It is strongly presented with natural, but exciting climaxes and bright dialogue. ‘ihe sceme effects are exceptionally fine, Tue Sroppanv Lectunes.—The sale of tickets for the Stoddard lectures opened with « rush yesterday at the Academy, and all day there was a line of eager buyers. The management anticipated the crowd and arranged the triple conrse to meet it. Notwithstanding the fact that the sale was the largest ever known for the lectures, good eats may yet be had by prompt buyers.
