TRAITOR TOSSED OUT.
A Government EmploYe Who Cursed
Schley for Winning.

Baltimore, Md, July S.-The first
case on record of the dismissal of a
government employe for disloyalty and
the utterance of traitorous sentiments
is that Of Frank Wickham. whom Col
lector OF Customs Stone, of this city,
today removed from the position of
foreman of the custodians' force Col
lector Stone investigated the charges
against him. the accused being pres
ent at the investigation.
1t was proved, says Mr.. stone, that
Wickham had been guilty of cursing
the American naval forces at Santiago,
had cursed Commodore Schley, and
said that he was sorry the Spaniards
had been defeated. He also talked in
an unpatriotic manner about the ma
tional flags displayed in the collectors
Office.
MIR. Stone considered the offense of
sufficient gravity TO warrant Wick
hams removal, and promptly took that
action. He sent a full report of the
case to the treasury department, ask
ing that his decision be approved The
story of Wickham's removal and the
reasons which led to II caused some-
thing of a sensation in the custom
house. and was a subject of general
talk among the employees there. The
action OF the collector was generally
p approved by both Democrats and Re-
publicans. Though se dismissed man
is Democrat, nearly all the witnesses
sgainst'him were members of the same
party.

| Seventh Day.-Have been figuring
that these four dogs add 300 pounds to
the packs, for half the time we're pull
ing them too. We made three miles to-
