News has been Vecetved here from Berlin of the death of Adrian Van Sinderen, once a well known Brooklyn attorney. During the past 14 years he has lived abroad in seclusion a fugitive from justice. In 1S91, after a quarter of a century of luxury and prominence, he was ac cused of having robbed an estate early in his career as a lawyer of J 63,000. He was indicted, but fled before he could be arrested. A dosen years ago a man bearing the same name, died in a Long island town and misleading information was given to make it appear that the al leged defaulter was dead.

The civil sen-Ice commission is conducting ex amlnations In a number of the large cities for the unskilled laboring post Hons in the government service par itlcularly in postomce and custom houses, and has found that the new regulations by which candidates for these places are examined are result Ing In a marked dflterence In the class of persons appointed. The commission expects that tlu regulations which provide for these ex aminations which Involve no educa tional test but determines the relative standing of the applicants by their physicial condition and adaptability for laboring work, will prevent un further evasion of the rules by irregu lar assignments to clerkships of per sons not qualified for laboring work. as the new appointees are found to be adapted to this class of employment and not to the work of a higher grade.
