Absurdities of the Existing System In the
Departments at Washington.
Washington Dispatch to Philadelphia
Press
Some treasury department officials
have been making interesting discover
les In the method Of bonding public Of
fcers. One hundred and six thousand
officers are under bond to the govern
ment. the amount involved being more
than S163. 100000. Most Of these officers.
1O4.OOO In number, are postmasters.
There are 215 under the treasury de-
partment. being such officials as col
lectors OF customs and surveyors.
There are PSI Offices under the war de-
partment. including paymasters. quar-
termasters and surgeons; 29S in the
navy department. 500 under the inte-
rior department and 500 under the 9TH
er departments. One of the curiosities
10 that no army engineer officer is un-
der bond. The eight army surgeons
give bonds amounting to $4,000. while
the engineer officers, who handle mil
lions OF dollars for river and harbor
work, do not give the government any
security other than their oath as army
officers.
The army officers who are stationed
at military schools and who are re-
sponsible for secondhand guns and a
small quantity Of ammunition give
bonds amounting to more than $1,000
600. The disbursing clerk in the navy
department. through whose hands pass
the vast sums paid for armor, war
ships and gun forgings, furnishes a
bond of but $4,000. The 81 army quar-
termasters who handle funds give
bonds amounting to nearly 1.500, 900,
while the engineer officers in the same
service. who handle sums greatly in
excess of that discussed by the quar-
49,.
such requirement. Fortunately, there
have been few failures among engineer
officers properly to account for public
funds placed in their custody.
Officers are bonded without regard
for the responsibility or risk incurred
Thus. the assistant treasurer in New
York is bonded for 100000, while the
treasurer in Washington is bonded for
$150.0O0. If the amounts involved in
their respective offices were considered
the amounts of the bonds should be
reversed. Neither Of these officials
could get away with any money of the
government. They would have as
much trouble in actual defalcation as
Secretary Carlisle himself.
1t has been suggested that a regular
scale of bonds for subordinate employ
es be adopted. so as to relieve leading
officials of financial responsibility for
the dishonesty of employees. The post
master a. New York gives a bond of
$500. 900. while a subordinate employee
may commit an offense beyond the
postmaster's power to prevent, for
which the 1atters bondsmen must be
unjustly held accountable.
The department is in favor of dlscon-
tinuing personal bonds Of trust COM
panies organized to do this character
of business. This substitution, 1t is es-
timated. would result in an annual
saving to the government of about
$4,000.

She Was No New Woman, but She Knew
How to Run Her Husband Around.
From the New York World.
She was small and wiry and maybe 40.
She did not pose as a new woman-in
fact, he called her the 'old woman"
She did not wear boomers. She wore a
calico dress, skinny IN the skirt and rag
ged at the elbows, and her wisp of hair
was done up in a hard knot at the back
of her head. There was certain set"
to her sharp chin as she turned the cor
ner of Third avenue and saw him leaning
against the lamp post which was omi-
nous. He saw her coming.
There's the old woman" he said, and
slipped into the side door. A minute later
she walked in at the family entrance"
What happened within Is not history.

as she drove him before her through the
side door into the cold world, "since IL

serving.

meek-eyed. He slouched hastily through
the gathering crowd. but the 'old wo-

took him by the slack of his coat and
headed him in the opposite direction. Il

She marched him forward. When he
stopped a volley of words goaded him on.
Large and numbering and meek-eyed, he
slouched unwillingly at the head of the
procession, with half the neighborhood in
the rear.
A policeman stood on the far corner
grinning.

mented cheerfully. "A few more like
that would be worth a dozen police for

TIE LATE JOHN REDFERN.

From the New York World.

From the New York World.
John Redfern. the famous tailor who
died in England Nov. %, was the man
who created, perfected and distributed
the tailor-made woman. But for him
she would not be. Because of him she
is found wherever garments are found.
even in the semi-barbarous countries
of the world.
1t was in the days Immediately after
Sedan. The men dressmakers of Paris,
working upon and through the EN-
press Eugene. had made Paris not
only the center but the sole arbiter of
fashion. There. and only there, were
perfectly dressed women to be found.
There. and only there. could perfect
gowns be had. And what gowns they
were in those days.-all f1ounces and
furbelows. padding and stuffing and
bustles and hoopskirts. until a woman
looked like an artistically arranged
and inflated bargain counter. Then
came Redfern. ~
The empire had fallen. Paris was
temporarily in eclipse. Nobody wanted
to go there. with the corpse of the en-
pire unburied and the mourners going
about the streets. Redfern was an
underling in a London dressmaking
establishment He saw that there was
chance even for London, then and
now and always the home of the hid
eouslv dressed woman. to do some
thing toward restoring and rehabfli-
tating a ruined world of fashion. He
decided that nothing further In the
way OF fiounces and mutations could
be done. And he remembered that hui
man nature. and especially feminine
nature. loves to rush from one extreme
to the other. NN 7
So he left the establishment in which
he amounted to nothing, and taking
his great idea with him. opened a small
shop. very small. indeed. in the FASH
ionable part of London. Then ne pro-
claimed a new gospel of fashion. ~

that. Let us be simple. Let us wear
light and airy goods no longer. Let
US wear heavy. strong and sensible
cloth. And instead of yards and yards

the cloth tightly over our bodies. re-
vealing their graceful outlines in all

Thus spoke Redfern. using 'us" in
the sense in which your valet uses II
when he remarks: shall we wear our
brown lounge SUITE or long coat and top
hat to-day?" For by "us" he meant
the women OF the world of fashion.
He spoke. and the women OF fashion
heard and obey-ed.
He was born in the same year as
Queen Victoria. AS you see. he did
not ascend his throne of fashion quite
as soon as she assembled her throne of
society. But he assembled and was
crowned. and ruled for several years,

TARANTULAs, scoRPIoNs AND SUCH.
Measuring Facts vOuched For by Eminent
Bug Sharps.

The bureau of entomology has been COL
lecting some interesting information late
ly about scorpions, centipeds and taran-
tulas Respecting these creatures all sorts
Of nonscnsiCal beliefs are prevalent and
travellers who have visited tropical regions
disagree as to the effects of their bites
That the poison of any one of the three is
apt to be deadly has often been asserted.
The question derives particular impor
tance from the fact that the animals are
constantly imported into this country in
punches CT bananas and among other
fruits from lower latitudes.
Tarantulas are simply big spiders Of the
kind that build houses with trapdoors.
Their bite is very severe and painful, the
scar lasting for a long time; but, though
it produces a violent Inflammation for a
short time. it is not dangerous to life.
Such, at all events, is the belief Of Pro
fessor G. V. Riley. In regard to the CEN
tipped Professor Riley says that its bite in
warm climates Is sometimes excessively
virulent and painful, though at other
times, oddly enough, the poison causes
little Inconvenience. That it is ever fatal
is not believed.
Scorpion stings are very painful indeed.
They are dangerous in proportion to the
size of the animal, its age and the state Of
irritation in which it may be. Tempera-
ture also has an influence upon the venom.
1t may be that the sting is occasionally
followed by death, but such cases must be
very rare. There is no doubt that the
sting Of certain species commonly found
in South America causes fever, numbness
in various parts of the body, tumors on
the tongue and dimness of sight. These
symptoms last from "a to AZ hours. The
effects produced diminish in violence with
repetition, so that person who has been
stung many times may become actually
proof against the poison.
Some scorpions are much worse than
others. The rather small, slender, pale
colored kinds have the worst reputation.
In warm latitudes certain places are near
ly free from scorpions, while others arc
overrun by them, for reasons not well I'M
derstood. They arc extraordinarily nu-
merous in a valley in the TERRA Templada
of Mexico. There it is hardly possible to
turn over stone without finding three or
four small and wicked scorpions of a pale
color beneath it.
1t is a common belief that the legs Of
the centiped are poisonous, and that they
will leave trail that burns like fire if
the animal runs over the bare flesh. This
is wholly mistake, The creature is nat
urally timid and will not even try to bite
If it can get away. The poison causes
good deal of pain, with fever and distress
of the head. Centipeds are fond of YER
min infested beds, and in tropical coun-
tries beds are very apt to be SO infested
