THE CHIEF CLERKS OFFICE
In the Pension Department and
Lady Who Attends Phone.

Having a natural hesitancy in be-
| lieving in the accuracy of our infor-
nation touching the case of the unfor-
tunate and prosecuted Miss Mitchell
of the Pension Department, whose cler-
ical salary had been reduced from ST.
200 to $24O per annum, we telephOned
the chief clerks Office for authentic
information on the subject before pub.
lisning the article. The phone was
! answered by a lady, or a gentleman
so eifeminate that he ought to be a
lady.
What salary per month does Miss
.-ltchell receiver" The Globe asked.
There is no such person on the
rolls Of the Pension Office" came the
response in a woman's voice.
This is the chief clerks Office, Is II
not?'
"Yes."
And you say that there Is no such
clerk as Miss Mitchell on the pay
rollsg
"There-is-nO-su such-persOn--on--
the pay-rolls-- or-in- the-emplOy-
ment-of- f-Lne-Departme came
the emphatic response.
Ordinarily this would settle It with
the writer, as, in his thirty odd years
experience as official and scribe, ne
never knew any public offlceT-State
or national-to give out to the press
deliberate, cold-blooded and palpable
lie. But In this case the information
was so direct and the details so cir
cumstandal, such as the lienage Of the
lady and the fact that she was the
daughter Of a deceased aud wellknown
Washington clergyman. that we con-
cluded to authenticate our information
without further assistance from the
chief clerks Office Of the Pension De
partment. This we did, and published
the article, which we may state en-
pasSant, created n profound sensation
all over the city
During the week past we have re-
ceived a hushel of letters inside and
outside Of the Department besides nu-
merous calls from Pension ONCE en-
plOyes and from persons who knew the
late Rev Mr. Mitchell
Miss Mitchell has been prosecuted
and reduced In salary to $40 per
month. and she stands alone i'm the
unprecedented injustice to which she
has been subjected, She Is a clerk I'm
the mail division of the Pension De-
partment at $50 per month, and hdr
name is on the payroll and on the
roster of the employees Of the Pension
Department Notwithstanding the de-
liberate lie OF the lady I'm the chief
clerks Office who 'phoned In response
to our inquiries
The chief Of her division has been
appealed to time and again to repair
the shocking injustice Of which she is
an uLcomplaing victim. In this very
mail division there Is another case OF
poor widow who has been twice re-
duced by the heartless chief-the |
brother Of Blnget Herman
The Globe viii show scant courtesy
and but little mercy when It comes
our way TO the unfeeling, unmanly
and strutting cads who, dressed In a
little brief authority" oppress the
helpless and subject to such gross In

Inc Globe is in receipt Of a com.
munication signed "Yeutas," re yeaiing
trouble in the high social circles Of the
White House because OF the low Irish
extraction Of the Madam The Globe
assumes that the Madam" must be the
wife of the President. If such is the
fact, Veritas is mistaken as to her
lienage She is of neither high nor
low Irish extraction. Mrs. Mcklnley's
maiden name is Saxton. Her family,
socially and in wealth, at the time OF
.er marriage, was much higher than
nat of the McKinleys. The McKin-
.eys are, however, Of Irish extraction,
whether low or high must be deter
mined from the point of view Of each
person for himself 1t is true there
are but few Irish characteristics In
President Mckinley, and one is notably
absent which is a common inheritance
Of the low and high Irish, viz: graft
tude. There is another equally as
prominent an Irish trait, not confined
20 the high Irish, but shared in by the
low as we'll And that is their passed
iCOrd or promise. No true man Of Irish
extraction will violate either. How
ever, we give space to the card Of Ver-
itas, in the belief that there is some
mistake as to the Madam who is in
tended:
Washington, d. c., Aug. q, 1901.
EDITOR GLOBE: L notice by your pa
per where you tackle things Of both
low and high degree. one thing that
has not apparently occurred TO you is
the lax and Ignorance at the Headquar-
ters of Affairs. Suppose, for instance,
you go into the history OF the Madam
Of the White House, who is Of low Irish
extraction, and for years has been a
pest and eyesore to her surroundings.
Now, IL stands to reason that her ia
vorites are Of the same mold of char
acter. / understand, from some one
who is employed IN the place, that mat
ters most reached a crisis before last
election, but were patched up. and are
now upon strQihed relations generally

VERITAs.
The Globe knows nothing Of the pa
trician society I'm which "Vertas" evil
IDENTIFY moves, and IL turns over to the
jenkins Of the daily press the further
Investigation Of this disagreeable
squabble in the White House social
circle. En- passant, however, IL gives
'Veritas" information that Mrs. Nc
Kinley's brother the ibertine SaXton,
died by a woman's hand in Canton, a
year or two ago, and that his murder
ess was acquitted by an Ohio jury Of
her peers. She had been a victim OF
his lusts and was cast of, after having
deserted husband and children for her
seducer, who had an evil reputation as
a libertlne and seducer in the city Of

Yes, sir; hadn't seen her for a long
time, poor lady"
"B-e-w-a-r-ei" came rolling out In the
thick gutteral voice Of the dread chief

and was dismissed by Castle while she
was attending sick daughters bedside,
IL was most unmanly and brutal dis

denied that they had asked for or or.

TEN PER CENTER MEHN.
How the PrOtege of Justice White
Raked in the ShekelS.

There is a protege Of Supreme Judge
White named Mehn, from New Or
leans, in the middle division Of the
Pension Office. Mr.. Mehn has been
there for some years. He is a saving
prudent man, and embraced a chance
to make a few dollars on the side. Aud
he gathered in the coin. Here is how
he did it, when Capt L.. G. Jones, who
tells the story, had desk next to him:
Mr.. Mehn discovered that his fellow
clerks borrowed money at usurious
rates Of interest on the outside. This
panied Mr.. Mehn, and he determined
to put q stop to the practice. He CON
suited Chief Shaw ON his proposed en-
terprise on scheme, and received the
official sanction Of cold Monthly Re
port"
Then Mr. Mehn opened up business.
He loaned money to his fellow clerks
at the usual 10 per cent rate Of such
firms as Horning ct al, and gathered
in the filthy lucre by the hatful The
Globe will now let Comrade Jones
speah, who has all this time been wait
ing to get in a word. Says Mr.. Jones:
"I sat next desk to Mehn, and the
visits of borrowers, their whisperings
and talk became a nuisance. The mes
senger was ever on the run fof Mehn
to one borrower or another Then,
when it came paying up time the same
racket took place I was gradually be-.
coming demented from the traffic. and
I'm a moment Of desperation ] went to
Mr.. Brooks and complained of the mat
ter. alleging truly that / could not per-
form my work with any satisfaction or
credit to myself or the Government
Mehn was sent for by Mr.. Brooks, and
when he returned he strutted up and
down like game cock, muttering mall
edictions on the "informer' who gave
away mis- snap. He finally exclaimed,
Il wish I knew the fellow who report
ed this matter to Brooks
"T quickly responded, III It is worth
anything to you l will tell YOU
Who is it?'
Not an 'it but man able to back
mp his actions and his name is Jones'
Capt h. G. Jones at your service.
"lou see" resumed Captain Jones,
pc.ting his hand to his ear to catch
The Globes expression of approval "I
was eXasperated and / didn't care II
we mixed IL up"
what became Of the a0air-the re-
suit you moW?'
Nothing, any more than became Of
the pets who got drunk Mehn was
TO avariclous to offend I'm this way
but nothing happened him. I didn't
learn for some time the reason. a.
nally discovered that the man 1 report

with me. / could go no further"
And the veteran soldier, who Is still
out OF employment stroked his grey

Another correspondent sends us a
blast on Lieut.. Commander Rodney
U. S. ~, and his executive conduct as
a landlord. Here is part of what he
says:
II Lieut. Commander r. b. Rodney
is such an angel will he explain his
life in the Mrs. Po house Of several
years? win he explain that after Mrs
Po leased the second floor OF three
rooms for a rental Of SIS per month
and the tenant made improvements to
the amount of S25, that he (Leutenant
Rodney raised the rent to $40 per
month when the tenant supposed that
he was renting from Mrs. Pc?
If Lieutenant Rodney lis such an
angel why did he refuse to allow Mrs.
Po to get up and open the door, which
was locked to admit the wife Of the
tenant, who rang the bell for two
hours with a baby in her arms while
her husband was away?
Why did he keep his sister i'm the
house and not want anybody to know
it?
Who was the doctor and what di-
sease did Mrs. PO die Of?
How was she buried?
If the Lieut. Commander has any
spare time on his hands from the di-
vorce litigation a female scion Of the
English aristocracy has forced on him,
he can answer these inquiries or ignore
them as suits his pleasure. The Lieut..
Commander seems to have enough on
hir hands lat present I'm trying 90

Games Of draw poker at gentlemens

from The Globe shack Of an office, are
not proper nor exciting enough sub
iects for these columns, ordinarily
speaking. But when disbursing clerks
in certain offices join in the game, and
in addition hit the stock market some
wild swipes now and again, The Globe
feels It a duty to sound a note OF warn
ing. The Globe gives space to the com
plainant Of grievances at the District
Building some time ago, and that the
publicity had the desired effect may
be cleaned from the following semi
mutilated communication:
my complaint about "The Three
Graces" at the District Building, which
you 80 kindly gave space, has had at
least one good effect. Il has caused the
District attorney to take a hand and
overrule the reckless decisions Of the
assessor I'm refundiug taxes. Also he
has come down off his high horse
somewhat and is a little more civil to
those who have business i'm his office.
Faith still draws his unjust Sl6OO
salary, but shows little more respect
to those who desire to see the Com.
missioner.
Charity still disburses District
funds and drives from his ofiice those
who dare to question him in reference
to the non-payment Of what is justly
due them Is this money held back
for use?'
And right here we cut off this intel
ligent correspondent, as the balance Of
his communication Is slightly libel
lou-s.

THE SCHLEY INQUIRY
Many Great Lawyers Will Taks
 Active Part in It.
Ex-secretary of the Navy Tracy in the Case-His Knowledge of Bureau Methods Feared by
 Naval Men.

ELS
 There is said to be big surprise in store for the navy department wher the court of inquiry meets to investi gate the charges against Schley. Sec retary Long and other. officers at the navy department have been proceed ing on the assumption that Admira Schley would not take the greatest ad' vantage of the unusual privileges ac corded him of having the hearings ot the court open to the public, and of be ing represented by such counsel as he might choose. Both the concessions are unusual in courts of inquiry, which are like courts-martial, purely mill. tary tribunals. But Secretary Long wished to show that the department is more than fair to Admiral Schley and he has provided that this court oi inquiry shall be subject to the. same in. fuences as a sensational civil trial.
 The 1riends of Admiral Schley, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, will take ad vantage of the privileges granted tt the admiral, and make a fight to in. fuence public opinion, and forestall the report of the court. The admiral will be represented by the ablest coun. sel that can be employed. Jere Will son, the noted lawyer of Washington will be one of his counsel. and it i- said that former Secretary of the Treasury Benjamin F. Tracy. of New York, will also appear on that side sot the case.
 Gen. Tracy is one of the greatest lawyers in the United States, and was associated with ex-President Harrison in the Venezuelan case before the Paris tribunal two years ago. He was President Harrison's secretary of the navy, and it is whispered that his part in the cases will be so to handle the witnesses as to reveal political fla voritism and petty department sean dals.
 Gen. Tracy, in. his four years ex- perience as secretary of the navy, be-
