SUE TO GIT MARRIED.
Is Every Girl Whe Sits at Thts
Treasury Desk.

- -sS Sill NhV StS az ~
Treasury Desk.
There is in the mail division of the
treasury department d very popular
desk, to which is attached the very
peculiar merit that the occupant is by
that occupancy placed on the sure
road to matrimony.
No sooner is the position made
vacant than there is a scramble
among the remaining clerks for the
lucky place, the fortunate candidate
feeling sure that it will only be q
short time before she is advanced to
the Hymeneal grade.
Within the past ten years the desk
has been occupied by seven lady
clerks following each other in quick
succession as embryo brides, and the
records during that time indicate
that they have come from all parts
of the country only to finally meet
their destiny while occupying the
fateful desk.
Miss Birdie Walker, of Tennessee,
started the pace by marrying a resi-
dent of the district, after a few
months service. She was succeeded
by her sister from the same state,
who speedily followed her example
and left the enviable position open
to a newcomer. She arrived on
schedule time from Virginia in the
person of Hiss Easby-Smith, who
shed the glory of famous Virginian
name over the talismanic desk for a
short time and then was led to the
altar by a journalist of Washington.
Next came from Delaware a relative
OF Senator Gray-Miss Sue Gray
who was followed in an incredibly
short time by a delegate from Mas
sachusetts-Mis5 Heroine Dickey.
Miss Dickey attracted much at-
t%ention during her stay in the de-
partment through her remarkable
resemblance to Mrs. Cleveland. and
later married Mr.. Simon Flynn, who
at that time was connected with the
Washington branch of the Baltimore
sun, and now manages a paper in
Spokane, Wash.
Pennsylvania also furnishes a rem
resentive in Miss Ella Newton, a
granddaughter Of the first commits
sioner of agriculture. Her marriage
to d well-hnown residentof this CITY
is a rcceEt event. The lust gradu-
ate from this sought-for posi- is an
other southern girl, and was for
merly Miss Ida Lindsay, of Alabama,
but on Easter Monday she became
the wife Of De-. Henry D. Fry, of
Washington, and the place is tenn
porarily ~unoccupicd.
This happy illustration of rotation
IN Office, as exempliied by the fem
mine contingent of wage-earners, is
the only ole on record where nobody
kicks, for each woman thinks she
IS advancing her interests either bv
filing the position or leaving it, as
the case may be.-Washington Post.

TEASING MR.. REED.

The Atlanta Journal makes the
point in regard to the fact that a
good many Republican news
papers which are opposed to Mr..
Thomas B. Reeds Presidential
candidacy, T directing his at
tention 10 the fact that only one
man has been both speaker of
the House Of Representatives and
President.
We cannot see says the Jour
nal, exactly how this affects
either Mr.. Reeds fitness for the
Office he is seeking, or his
chances of getting it.
The newspapers which are
parading the disappointments of
former speakers are, we sus~
pect, merely nagging the present
able and ambitious politician who
Yields the gavel over the house.
Mr. Reed, however, is not an
easy man to tease. Moreover.
he has unbounded confidence in
himself and has demonstrated
his contempt for precedents.
Still the record Of the broken
hopes of distinguished party
leaders who filed the speakers
chair and tried in vain to climb
to the Presidency is interesting
and in two instances, at least,
pathetic. James K. Polk, the
only speaker of the House who
ever became President, vas not
one of the foremost leaders of
party, though he was by no
means an ordinary man.
Henry Clay and James G..
Blaine were the two most dis
tinguished Presidential candid
ates we have had who had been
speakers Of the House, and each
Of them was prominent three
times as a Presidential candidate.
though Blaine was nominated
only once Each of these men
was the popular idol of his party;
each had a far more enthusiastic
following than Mr.. Reed ever
has had or ever a command.
John Bell, who vas speaker
of the House just before Polk,
was the candidate Of the Union
party for President in 1860.
If he cares to dabDle in preced-
ents Mr.. Reed can therefore point
to four speakers Of the House
who have been nominated for
President and the nomination is
what he is after just now.

CHAIRMAN Carter, of the Re
publican National Committee,
warns his Republican brethren
not to be too confident of success
in the Presidential election now
so near. He comedies that the
Democrats have what we have
elsewhere termed "a fighting
chance" of success, and says he
does not think it would be wise
for the Republicans to be over
confident. Chairman Carter is a
shrewd politician or wire-korker.
It was because he was so well
qualified to lead his party that
be was selected to be chairman
of the National Committee. It
was because knew how to gov
ern himself that Mr.. Carter was
selected to govern others, if that
may be called governing which
lis nothing but leading
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1895-12-12

The eagerness with which the
Republican nomination for the
next Presidency is sought proves
that the Republican aspirants to
that high Office Ire confident that
whoever is nominated by their
party will be elected. The Dem
ocrats concede that they have
only a fighting chance to elect
the next President; but this
chance they are going to take.
Mckinley and Reed seem at
present to have concentrated
upon them the eyes Of the whole
country. Why are Harrison,
Allison, and others in the back
ground just now? It is because
the leaders of the Republican
party have not yet decided
whether protection is or is not to
be the main issue in the APP
preaching presidential campaign.
A press dispatch from St. Louis
under date of the 9th says:
Manager Lewis, Of the South
ern Hotel, received kilograms
from Speaker Thomas B. Reed
and Major William Mckinley
this afternoon, asking that rooms
be reserved for their respective
delegations should St. Louis be
decided upon as the place to
hold the next Republican Ma
tional Convention.

Lord Roberts, who is acknowl-

public such a shaking up touch
ing the F'ar-East Situation as to
dluert, in considerable
attention from the Turkish
problem. In an address delivered
last week Lord Roberts declared
that if Enrland intends to main>
tain her commercial supremacy
in the Far East, she must be
prepared for exents more start
ling and unexpected than those
that have occurred in the last
twelve months. He urged that
Great Britain must depart from
the policy Of disregarding every
thing that takes place beyond
the northwest frontier of Indian.
and that if she would hold her
own as one of toe great Powers
she must, no matter what the
cost, be mistress of the seas and.

powerful to give her that posi-
1ion, must maintain a we'll orga-

dlers may be necessary. In view

sia's latest intitfues in the Far
East, Lord Roberts's note of
warning would seem especially

HENsHAW's STORY TRUE.

The Convicted Indiana Preachers Pro-
testatlOns Of InnOcence Confirmed.
DANvMLE, Ind, Dec. 4--When Rev.
w. E. Henshaw, who was recently
convicted of the murder Of his wife,
and is nOWzServing a life sentence in
prison, was ON trial, he stoutly pro-
tested his innocence, and maintained
that his wife was killed by robbers,
who went to their house and left in
buggy. At the trial evidence failed to
bear his statements out, and the jury
quickly returned a verdict of guilty.
Now Lewis Asher, neighbor of the
Hinshaws, states that on the night of
the murder, while out hunting his
horse, he saw two men drive toward
the Hinshaw home, and later he heard
pistol shots and cries for help. He
was frightened and returned home,
and was passed by the two men, He
claims to know who killed Mrs. Hin
shaw, but refuses to tell, as his life,
he says, would be in danger.
Asher has been arrested and will be
examined by the grand jury. He is
man of good reputation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The Repub-
licans of the senate did not approve Of
the presidents message so far as it
concerned finances. 1t msttered not
whether they were silver men or not,
they all had something to say against
it. Many expressed the opinion
that the message was disap-
pointing because it did not
provide method for raising revenue.
All known as sound money
men were especially disappointed on
the finance feature. The silver men
were, of course, very emphatic in their
disapproval of the Presidents views
on silver For the most part, how
ever, the Republicans spoke in terms
of approval of the position of the Pres
ident regarding foreign affairs, but
more especially what he said about
Venezuela.
y The silver Democrats had very little
to say regarding the message, but ac-
knowledged that it was, for the most
part, a disappointment for them.
There was general impression in the
Senate that the proposition of the
President to retire the greenbacks
would not be successful.

BITTMAN A SUICIDE.
The West Point Cadet Took His Life
After Reslgning.

The West Point Cadet Took His Life
After ResIgning.
WAMEGo, Kan, Dec. 4.-The body
of Albert Bittman, q young West
Point cadet was found in the road near
here Sunday, and when his body was
brought here to-day three letters were
found in his pockets with other un-
mistakable evidences that he had in a
moment of insanity taken his own
life.
One letter was addressed to the per-
son finding the body, and gave direc-
tions for its disposition. Another was
addressed to his father, and it's con-
tents, so far as made public, are that
it was not the great disappointment of
having to resign his cadetship that
caused him to commit the deed. What
it was will probably remain a secret
for all time. A third letter was ad-
dressed to young lady with whom
he was intimately acquainted at Man
haitian, where he had once attended
the State Agricultural college.
