EXTRAVAGANCE.
DepOsed General Director Rath-
bone, and His Expenses
ACCORDING TO OFFICIAL REPORT
A True Example of Republican Prosperity
as Assumed by Rstbbone-whst He
Secured and What He Paid
For the Same.

Washington, July lin a private
letter received from Havana there was
enclosed an extract from the official re-
port of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow regarding the extrav-
agant expenditures of Z. G.. Rathbone,
while acting as director general of
posts in Cuba.
The report shows extravaganza of a
kind quite sufficient to justify Rath-
bones suspension, and the details cor
roborated the charges made in the first
kilograms from Havana.
The official figures which are still be-
ing treated as confidential both by the
war and postoffice departments, show
that Rathbone spent $3,5S2 for the fur
niture Of his official residence, while the
sum of $2,44S was used for plumbing
and gas fixtures for the same precious
house.
Something has already been printed
about Rathbones extravagant carriage,
but the figures are even more serious
than the original statement.
The figures show that Rathbone
bought carriage for $3.50, which is a
pretty fair price in these days, and
then ran up items Of repairs, wages,
and clothing for his retainers which
made the total cost of the vehicle
without considering the maintenance of
the horses, during his brief period oc
power, amount to $4,449.
An extract from the official confiden-
tial report is as follows:
"The disallowances thus far made in
| the accounts of L. G. Rathbone, late
director general of posts, aggregate
81, ,592.37. OF this amount about $1,000
| consists of double payments of sala-
ries.
"The amount suspended to his ac-
count aggregates s79,9S749. OF this
amount one item of $4,000, disbursed by
warrant to c. F. w. Neely, to correct
error in deposit, will necessarily be dis
allowed, as it is not shown that there
was any error in deposit and it would
not have been a proper way of correct
ing such an error If one had existed.
| MANY other disallowances, aggre-
| eating several thousand dollars In
amount, will ensue, but it is hoped that
much Of the suspended amount may
be properly vouchsafed."

The GAME LAW.
The Provisions of a Law Which
Will be Of Interest to All
Hunters.

Much interest Is being manifested by
local sportsmen as to what is the open
season for squirrel shooting. The laws
on the subject are very conflicting.
Section 6961 Of the revised statutes pro-
vides: That no person shall, in any
place, catch, kill, or injure, or pursue
with any such intent any
woodcock, squirrel or rabbit, except
between the 10th day of November and
the 1st day of December, inclusive"
The section has the following rroviso:
provided, that nothing herein shall
be construed so as to prohibit the kill
ing of squirrels or rabbits by the owner
or tenant of any premises where such
animals may ne found injuring grain,
fruit trees, shrubbery or vegetables"
Section 1864 reads: whoever has in
his POSSESSION any woodcock
or squirrel except between the 4th dav
of July and the 18th day of December,
inclusive, SHALL" etc., be fined according
to section 696S.
Game Warden L. H. Ruttinger, of
Athens, while in Columbus recently,
| was asked as to his views on the sub
| ject. He replied: "It is bad mix any
way we look at it, The board of war
upHS tTleu u nave tie
do something in the way of proper leg
islation, but there seemed to be a sus-
picion that anything we wanted was
in the interest of city sportsmen and II
would be knocked out. The law has
been construed so that an owner OF
tenant may give written permission
to a person to hunt squirrels on his
property, on the ground that the ami
NAL is destructive. One law says the
open season is between November II
and December 1, while another allows
person to have squirrels in their pos.
session between July 4 and December
Is. Well, you see a man on July
walking along High street carrying
gun and 80 or 40 squirrels and what are
you going to do? They are in his pos
session in the excepted season, and Il
you go to him and ask him. where hi
got them he will reply, why, I killed
them" You ask him where and III
tells you, "Oh, out on John Smith!
place, but he gave me permission Il
do so," and what are you going to d.
about it? The season is open to all in
tents and purposes, and the only wa,
to convict a sportsman is to tag aloni
at his heels and catch him killing with
out that permission, but he is too war!
to allow that"

Base Ball his FaRorite Sport.
One OF his intimate friends speaks
thus OF him: 81 first became acqualnt-
cd with Johh in the autumn of 1854.
He was then twelve years old. He was
very quiet in his manner. but full of
fun. He was fond OF all outdoor games,
base ball being his favorite sport. He
enjoyed bowling and took great inter-
est In making a good score. He was
fond OF reading, and enjoyed books con-
sldered much too old for him. Not
only did he understand them, but he
frequently surprised his friends by
passing comments or criticisms worthy
an older head He talked very little,
but was a good listener. AT one tins
he. with few boy friends, instituted
private theatrlcais, but, like most chill
drcn, their ardor cooled after a few at
tempts. Still they managed to glvp
soveraI very crcdltablc entertainments.
which always took place at one OF
their homes, and only very intimate
friends and nelghbors received invita-.
lions to these performances. He was
very fond of fishing. and in company
with his grandfather spent many pleas,
ant hours at that pastIme never saw
his anger get the better of him. He
was always very quiet, but very de-
cIdod when any dispute arose with his
playmatas."
In tn, summer vacation Of 1883 he
started to work with Mr. Walter Smith
and Mr.. Frank Hoge, civil engineers
and assisted them at different inter-
walls during that year. He also did
work for Mr.. white, tho present city
enFlncar. In the month OF August,
1855. he spralned his ankle while at
work and was unable to return to

year. I rccolcct that for several weeks

Back to America,

pired Che having put in the necessary
three years at s0a), and he returned to
the United States in February, 1899. II
am not mistaken. he landed ut San
Francisco and came by rail across the
continent. He stopped OF at Toledo
for several days. and there had to sub
nit to the inevitable Interview. In his
talk with the newspaper man he men
toned some of Admiral Deweys char
acterlstlcs, his opinion Of the spanlards
us fighters, and managed with consId-
cradle tact to steer clear OF subjects he
was not allowed by virtue of his POSI-
ton to discuss.
On the 9Th Of February he paid his
first visit to wheeling since 1895, and
was here at Intervals until the last Of
March, OF course everybody In this
city had an interest in the young man
who had left It few short years be-
fore and was now returning hero. He
was very much in demand as speaker
and was called upon on several occa-
sions to describe his experiences before
and during the engagement at Manila.
This was not greatly to his liking. but
he facVd the ordeal us bravely as he
had acted In battle and came out of It
in excellent style. He gave an inter-
