WHERE HAS THE GIRL GONE,
Mysterious DISAPPEARANCE OF n Lady Clerk
in tho Interior Department..

Mysterious DISAPPEARANCE OF n Lady Clerk
in tho Interior Department..
One of the young lady clerks in the In
terror department. has mysteriously disap-
peared, her friends having seen nothing of
her since last Saturday night She is Miss
Jennie V. McNary. She was seen on Satur-
day night, about o'clock, talking to man
about town, but since that time nothing has
been heard of hor. Miss McNary is about 22
years Of age and quite pretty. Her parents are
both dead, and she has been living for some
time with relations on East Capitol street.
For some time past she is said to have been
keeping company with persons who were not
looked upon with favor by her friends, but
there has been no trouble OH this account.
On Saturday last she was at her desk as usual,
and IL has since been discovered that she drew
her salary on that day. There is employed in
the same room colored lady, who is remarkable
for her good looks and accomplished man
ners. Before leaving the office Miss McNary
borrowed of her diamond ring and some
other Jewelry. These she carried away with
her, having, it is supposed, about $3.50 in
money, besides considerable amount of
jewelry. Her friends have been looking for
her since, calling at the homes of
all her old acqpaintances, but inquiry failed
to reveal her whereabouts. A reporter was
sent to the residence of her relatives
last evening, whore he learned that she had
not been heard of since Saturday. Hcr uncle
said that she was insane, and that he could
not attribute her actions to any other cause.
1t is understood that detectives have been
put on her track, and she will be brought
back if found. The strangest part of the
occurrence is that Miss McNary was promoted
yesterday from 5000 to il 900 position and
transferred to the pension office.

SCROFULA

and all scrofulous diseases, Sores, Erysipe-
las, Eczema, BlOtches, Ringworm, Tu-
mors, Carbuncles, Boils, and Eruptions
of the Skin, are the direct result Of an
impure state of the blood.
To cure these diseases the blood must be
purified, and restored to a healthy and ma
tural condition. AYERS SARsAPARILLA has
for over forty years been recognized by emf
nent medical authorities as the most pow
erful blood purifier In existence. 1t frees
the system from all foul humors, enriches
and strengthens the blood, removes all traces
of mercurial treatment, and proves itself q
complete master of all scrofulous diseases.
A Recent Cure OF scrofulous Sores.
"some months ago l was troubled with
scrofulous sores (ncers) on my legs. The
limbs were badly swollen and inflamed, and
the sores discharged large quantities OF
offensive matter. livery remedy tried
failed, until used AYERS SAEsArARiLIA,
of which l have now taken three bottles,
with the result that the sores are healed,
and my general health greatly improved.
l feel very grateful for the good your
medicine has done me.
Yours respectfully, Mrs ANN o'BRiAN."

Let Well Enough Alone.

The protests against a transfer of the Rev.
enue Marine and Life Saving Services to the
control of the Navy Department are general
throughout the nation. There 10 . strong
feeling that the work will not be so well
done under naval supervision. The Revenue
Marine is business service with duties ly-
ing along the shores. The officers require spe-
clal qualities and training for which general
naval education is quite unnecessary. Many
people even hold thatthe education; theories,
and habits of naval officers would initiate
against their efficiency in this kind of work
and that the service under their direction
would be more costly and less practical. In
the Life Saving service the same reasons
apply. This noble umanitarian ser
S. Kimball, of our own State, is
specially dear to the hearts of
Americans and anything threatening its
practical efficiency would be exceedingly
obnoxious to the people. The work is being
well done in both these branches of the
public service and any change would be
viewed with suspicion and disfavor. To
show how widespread is the feeling against
change we append an extract from an edi-
torial article in the Logansport, Indiana,
Daily Journal:
In the face of the glorious record made by
our Life Saving Service, Congress should besi-
tate TO transfer it from the Treasury to the Ma
Wy Department. During the ten years ending
