YOUNG men who occupy positions
Of trust should learn a lesson from
the suicide Of the brilliant young
Hugh MCGEE, of Paris. We are in
formed that he had collected $500
for some one and spent it for his own
use. He was given five hours by the
gentleman whose agent he was to
raise the money. Before the five
hours had passed he had killed him.
self. This is a good lesson and
should not be without its effect on
the young men of this country.

Seweli's Peculiarities.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Among the
expense accounts rendered by T. D.
Sewell, chief Of the internal revenue
agents, it is found that he has often,
when alleged to have been performing his
duties, been in Maine in company with
Senator Frye on fishing excursions to the
Rangely lakes. Senator Frye has a cot
tage there, and Mr.. Sewell performs the
high Office of bait cutter. An examina-
ton in the office of the Fifth Auditor re-
veals the fact that Sewell has been thus
employed for years. Acting Secretary
Fairchild has recently ordered an inves-
tigation of Mr.. Sewel's actions and &C.
counts with a complete record of his
travels, running back through several
years. The investigation, it is said, will
show that Sewell has spent a portion OF
the summer seasons in seeking pleasure
with ex-senator Blaine and Senator Frye,
at various resorts, and rendered accounts
to the Government, sometimes as high as
eight and ten dollars a day, for travelling
expenses. There seems little doubt that
Acting Secretary Fairchild will be com
PEELED to ask for Mr.. Sewelrs resignation
at an early date.
