I am not one of those who think birds

Especial Correspondence
Opposite the room of the Postmaster
General, on the north side OF the cor
ridor, is the room occupied by the Chief
Post Office Inspector. The present in
cumbent of the Office is Mr.. E. d. Rath-
bone,- late vice-President of the Miami
Valley National Bank, Of Pendleton. O.
He is a tall, well-built, handsome, young
looking man, and seems to be we'll
adapted to the important position which
he occupies. He was formerly Chief Of
the Special Examiners Division in the
Pension Office, but was . member of the
Ohio State Senate when the Chief In
spectorship of the Post-Ofice Depart
ment was rendered him and accepted by
him last spring.
Thousands of complaints are annually
made to the Postmaster-Ge General con-
corning losses and Irregularities in the
mails and violations Of the postal laws
by the express companies, or the forg-
ing and illegal uses of postage stamps.
All such losses and Irregularities are re-
ported to the Chief Post Office Inspector.
and under his charge are Investigated.
There are great many losses in the
mail service by the disappearance of or
binary letters and packages, robberies
of post-ofices, burning of post-offlces;
postal cars are wrecked or sometimes
burned; stages are robbed by highway
men, mail messengers are robbed,
pouches lost, stolen or cut. Numerous
complaints are constantly reaching the
department concerning the transmission
through the mail of obscene matter,
pictures, etc., and circulars advertising
the same which have their origin in for
IGN countries. Cases Of this kind fire.
4uently require special treatment and
foreign correspondence. These COM
paints are first examined by the head
clerk of the Depredations Division, who
-d.signates the Division Inspector to
whom they are to be sent and under
whose special direction the inspection
shall be made.
The Post-Office Inspector must needs
have many of the characteristics of the
natural and trained detective, for it is

A SCHEME THAT FAILED.

An Adventurer's Attempt to Have 4
Broadsw0rd Bout with Engiand's Min
lister.
There was An Irish-American Id
venturer in Washington last spring
seeking fame and fortune. He was q
voluble talker and An industrious letter
writer. Many Western oflce-seekers
received letters from him, Offering his
potential aid in consideration of small
fees. and many of them responded with
their cash. The adventurer conceived
an audacious idea for bringing himself
prominently before the public, and he
almost succeeded. By diplomatic man
agement an introduction was obtained
to the British Minister, Sir Julian
PauncefOte, and the adventurer proved
an agreeable guest at the mansion of
the courtly Briton. After . few days
the subject Of broadsword contests was
brought up, and Sir Julian eyinced .
lively interest, inasmuch as he has
been, and is, An expert in handling the
weapon. Over bottle of wine An ar
rangement was made for . friendly con-
test in the parlors of the British Minis
ter before few invited guests, the con-
testants being his Excellency, Sir
Julian, and q well>known gentleman Of
Kansas City.
The latter was telegraphed for and
came to Washington, bringing his ~
NOR with him. The adventurer, how
ever. invited several newspaper men to
be present, and thus committed IN error
which was fatal to his scheme. The
Kansas City contestant WAS . noted
Irishman, IN expert, . younger man
than Sir Julian, and II the contest had
taken place he would have tried to win
it. even at the expense Of the life Of tho
distinguished representative Of Great
Britain. One Of the newspaper men
quietly called and informed Sir Julian
Of the possible outcome, warning him 1T
the same time that his reputation WAS
to be jeopardi1ed, 10 matter how the
contest might result, and the matter
was unceremoniously stopped. But It
was bold scheme, and, II successfully
consummated, would have made the ad-
venturer famous and probably infamous.
