Something About Admiral RAMSAY,
Who Holds This Place.
}TANT DUTIES TO PERFORM
A RSONAL RECORD

Without regard to his personality, the
officer who performs the duties of chief of
the bureau of navigation may be safely
put down as the most unpopular officer in
the naval service. 1t has been so since the
establishment of the office, and will I'M
doubtedly continue until the Office is abol-
ished, contingency about as remote as
the abolition of the navy itself. Admiral
Walker is now one of the most popular men
in the service. but probably no officer in
the history of the navy was more thor
oughly abused and slandered by his fellows
of the quarterback than was Admiral Wal
ker, not SO very long ago, when he admin
istered the affairs of the bureau of naviga-
ton. 1t was practically the same with all
his predecessors. and also with his success

tapositicn thereto as to divert attention
from the fact that the contents Of the pack
age are wholly oleomargarine.
The color of the ink with which the words
are printed must be In the strongest con-
trast to the color of the package.
The question having arisen as to whether
retail dealers in oleomargarine may con-
tinue the practice of wrapping their goods
delivered to customers in ordinary brown
wrapping paper, such packages being sim
liar to those usually employed in selling
butter and lard at retail, and being also
marked as required by the regulations, it
is held that such practice is in compliance
with the law.
Retail dealers are permitted to take oleo-
margarine from the original stamped pack
age in advance of sales and put it up in
retail packages marked and branded as
the law and these regulations prescribe
and offer them for sale, provided such pre-
pared retail packages remain in the manu-
facturer'S original packaSe,or at most stack
ed up upon the outside thereof or upon the
lid undeta ched from the package until the
contents have been bargiined for and sold
provided that in SO doing none of the marks,
brands, stamps and notices required upon
the package are concealed. But should the
retailer remove his prepared packages from
the original package and sell them sepa-
rated from and Independently of the manu-
facturers stamped package, he involves
himself in liability to a fine of 81 900. The
oleomargarine must remain in Cor upon
the original stamped package until sold
therefrom. CSection 6, act of August =,

which seems to be the leading purpose of
the provision. The penalty imposed upon
retail dealers for knowingly selling or offer
ing to sell oleomargarine in any other form
than in new wooden CT paper packages is
prescribed In section g. above quoted.

continuous history OF the service of every
officer and enlisted man in the service at
every stage Of his career. This innoyat ton
is responsible, however, for delays in the
examination of officers for promotion in
several recent cases, the most conspicuous
of which is that of Commander Ludlow.
In these cases the officer under examina-
ton has been confronted with his record,
and has been called upon to clear away
certain apparently inconsistent reports on
official matters. These continuous service
records will soon be complete, however, and
the present onerous clerical work of the
bureau will be greatly lessened, as 1t will
then be an easy matter to keep up the
records. The system has already reached
such state OF perfect ton that the COM
plete history of every officer and man in
the naval service can be ascertained with
out any more trouble and delay than is re-
quired to take his record jacket out of its
pigeon hole.
Not so very long ago it required an exam
nation Of several books in as many diff
ferent offices to get the record of an officer
or an enlisted man, and even then it was
in decidedly less comprehensive form
than distinguishes the present simple sys-
tenn.
The Individual Records.
The record Of every man is kept in a
separate jacket, and these jackets are kept
in files arranged in alphabetical order, after
the manner of the card-index system. 1t
Admiral Ramsay, several years ago, and
has resulted, 1t is said, most advan-
tageously to the service. This is especially
the case with enlisted men, inasmuch as
the completeness of the records and their
accessibility serve to prevent entirely the
re-enlistment of men whose records show
them to be undesirable characters. The
establishment of these personal records
involved enormous amount of hard
work and research. which is justified, it Is
thought. by the benefit to the service.
Admiral Ramsay, the present head of the
bureau, is a native Of the District Of Co
lumbia. He was appointed to the navy,
however, from Pennsylvania. That was in
October, 1850. He was then a midshipman,
a grade that does not now exist in the
navy. He served throughout the war with
credit and was one of the few officers ad-
vanced because of conspicuous merit in
that crisis. He was promoted through the
various grades until he reached the grade
of rear admiral in April, 1894. While COM
manding the New York navy yard with
the rank of commodore in November, 1889,
he was appointed chief of the bureau of
navigation for term of four years. This
term expired In 1893, when he was reap
pointed for another term which he will
not be able to complete, however, as he will
retire for age in April 1897. He enjoys the
unique distinction of being the only fleet
officer in the navy who has never COM
manded fleet, but that this is so Is due
to Secretary Herbert's desire to keep him
in a place where he can get the benefit of
his conceded wisdom and fairness in naval
affairs

Importance, runner might have in his pos
session anywhere from 5000 to 500, 900 by
the time he had made his rounds. While
losses were comparatively infrequent, this
was due to the character of the men and not
to the lack of temptation. 1t was finally
realized that this was crude way of doing
business, and the result was the organiza-

and Mr.. E. Francis Riggs. They thought
1t would be a good thing to have such an
institution in this city similar to those in
other large cities. The result was a meet
ing, which was held March 90, 1887, at
which were present representatives of all
the local banking houses. An organiZa ton
was perfected April 10. 1887, when a con-
