Secretary Moss in Philadelphia.
Head of Cincinnati Civil Service Department Getting Pointers.

C. W. Moss, late of Columbus, O., who was recently appointed secretary of the Sixth Civil Service district of the United States, which district includes the States of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, is now in Philadelphia studying the workings of the office of that district.  From there he will go to Washington for final instructions and then he will return to Cincinnati, which will hereafter be the headquarters of the newly formed district.  Civil Service Commissioner A. W. Cooley, who was here a few days ago, met the new secretary and instructed him to visit Philadelphia for the purpose of familiarizing himself with the methods in vogue there.  After his return to Cincinnati Secretary Moss will establish his offices in the examination rooms on the fourth floor of the Government building.  The new arrangement places all civil service work in the hands of the secretary, thus relieving postmasters, custom-house employes (sic) and others who formerly had to do the work in addition to their regular duties.  Mr. Con. J. Keating; assistant cashier of the Cincinnati post-office, who formerly had charge of the local civil service examinations, said to the Times-Star: “The new arrangement will give better satisfaction to all concerned.  It will relieve many men from the performance of double duty, and it will result in more rapid accomplishment of the results strived for.  I am much pleased at the change as it will allow me the proper time for the performance of my regular work.”
