WARRINGTON, July 1s.-The officials of
the treasury department are having a
good laugh over the case of George Clark,
the collector of customs at FL Paso, Tex,
who is charged by some of the citizens of
that town with immortality, gambling,
drunkenness and other vices unbecoming
a federal officer. Clark's administration
has been admirable and Secretary Foster
would have been glad to retain him had
not Clark, in defending himself, confessed
his sins. 1T is true do play poker" says
the accused official in his letter to the sec
Rotary of the treasury, "but as I never
play more than dollar limit I can't be
accused of gambling"

Surely this is no crime" Even this might
have been forgiven Lad not Clark added:
"As to my passing cigars for people, the
man whe accused me of that ought to be
the last one in the world to speak on this
quest on, for have passed several salts of
clothes for him" Mr.. Clark appears to be
too frank for his own profit and the pro-
liabilities are he will have to go.

A friend of the Fullers gave still an
other good reason for disbelieving the
presidential aspirations accredited to the
chief justice. Were there no other rea-
son for declining the nomination, the
chief justice would consider: the wishes of
his family" said this friend. ''The Full
