ITEMS OF POSTAGE STAMPS, PHOTOGRAPHS,
TRIP TO FORTRESS MONROE, AND A
EUROPEAN TOUR RULED OUT.
The second controller of the Treasury has
rendered three important decisions. In passing
upon the accounts OF a naval director he dis
allowed tw sitems-One for purchase of postage
stamps and eOther for pbotographing ana
tomical specimens, on the ground that investi-
cation shows that these payments were really
made for portraits OF Surgeon General Wales,
one for his office and one for his residence.
He also disaiiows accounts for 81 Al expended
in entertaining the House appropriation COM
mittee on a trip to Fort Monroe on the Taiia-
pOosa, claiming that there was no authority
of law for such trip at government expense.
He also dfsallows the accounts for mileage of
Surgeon Billings, L. $. A., during a European
trip attending medical conventions by order of
the War department.. He holds that there was
no authority for such q trip, that the service
was in no sense military and that the discre-
ton allowed the officer as 20 the points to be
visited was unauthorized.

YOUNG WOMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE BECAUSE
HER AFFIANCED WOULD NOT SER HER.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 19.-This morning q young
woman, Mary Gilchrist, shot herself at German
and Green streets, because her affianced re-
fused to see her. She stopped on the corner and
sent her sister to q house near by to ask the
young man TO grant her an interview, and that
declined to see her, and used rude language TO
the sister. As soon rs Mary heard the result OF
the request she walked across the street, drew
pistol from her pocket and shot herself In the
mouth, the ball lodging in the muscles Of the
neck. The wound is not necessarily fatal.

ENFORCING THE TREASURY RULES.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has given the

understand that "the humbiest citizen OF the
United States" must be treated with courtesy
when visiting the department, and that any

time OF the clerks is only part OF the general
fairness, but they must all arrive i'm time i'm the
morning, must work diligently dufiug Office
hours, and must be courteous TO everybody.
Upon the first violation of the rules to prompt
arrival they are sent the following card:
