Of police named Spade, whom Mr. Nc.
Lean put on the force and had prOmot.
ed to a lieutenancy, and by the way,
the Enquirer proprietor was always
doing something Of this kind for his
friends.
This particular officer was a giant in
stature, and fairly worshipped Mr. Nc
Lean. The lieutenant, however, began
to show signs Of insanity which his
friends concealed so well that even Mr..
Mclean was in ignorance Of them.
One night the proprietor of the Enqui-
rer got in his carriage, as usual, to
have a drive, and seeing Spade stand
ing near the Office invited him in the
carriage, promising the lieutenant to
drop him at his residence The lieu
tenant accepted the invitation and the
driver having closed the carriage door
mounted the box and drove off, In a
few moments Mr.. Mclean was con-
scious that he felt some hard sub
stance pressed against his side, and
glancing to see the cause, found to his
horror that the lieutenant had his re-
volver in hand with the muzzle press
ing the breast of Mr.. Mclean.
81 propose to kill you now" said the
wild-eyed and insane officer Mr.. Nc
Leans thinker did full time for few
moments, and moving slightly, but nat
urally, so as not to draw the fire. he
replied:
"Why Spade my dear fellow, what's
the matter?'
"Kill-kin you. Why haven't you
been my friend?'
Mr. Mclean, recognizing his imminent
danger, and that he had to deal with
a lunatic, exhibited superb nerve and
retained his presence Of mind
why, Spade, put you on the force,
made you a lieutenant and now | am
going to make you chief Of police"
The insane man lowered his weapon
and clasping Mr. McLean's hand ex'
claimed:
"All right John, you make me chief
instead of inspector. | won't kill my
best friend now, but | was just going
to pull the trigger when you said chief
of police. Glad | didn't do it. Ho!
Ho, You're a good fellow and the
insane lieutenant laughed after the
manner of lunatics. shaking Mr.. Nc
Leans hand and hugging him like a
bear.
1t was a fearful ride, and when the
lieutenant's house was reached and he
was induced to enter Mr.. Mclean col
lapsed in the carriage and the prespir-
alton poured from every pore Of his
body in streams. 1t was a close call,
but the nervy publisher of the Enquirer
had many more. not one OF which has
ever seen the light of priRt and are
only known to those who like the writ
er. was in the "miX-up' of Cincinnati
politics, journalism and riots when
Halstead and Mclean contended in the
newspaper arena for supremacy and
control of the patronage and politics
of the Queen City.

SAINT ELIZABETH.
A Lady Attendant Tells About a
Trained Nurse.

EDITOR GLOBE, / was more than de-
lighted to see the write up" of this
place a Sunday or two ago. Every
word in the article was true. The
people you spoke of live on the fat of
the Asylum, but it's attendants have
a hard enough time of it, you may be
sure.
For days at a time we never sit
down, back in the wards. and we are
compelled to eat the coarse food al
lowed us as best we can, standing up.
We never sit down to eat hardly. The
superintendent has increased our ex-
penses by ordering us to dress up every
day. He has allowed us no extra in
crease of wages, however. The EN-
ployes he installed here, some of them
from Ohio, receive S25 per month to
start in with, while all sthers get but
SIS.
But the worst and most unjustifable
action Of all is his favoritism towards
Miss Bassini, to whom he pays fancy
salary as a trained nurse. She does
not turn her hand over to anything.
The idea of a trained nurse in such a
place as this u.s. is absurd IL would be
all right in a hospital, but here there
is no room or place for such a person.
1t is all fake Of course.
There are about one hundred readers
Of The Globe in this place, and we all
agree it is the only Washington news
paper which stands up for and cham
pions the worhngmen and women.

Voices the Sentiments of Reputable

MIR. EDITOR: Your paper is like a
bombshell to the Departments Of the

phases which make up the corruption
Of Office life and cause the name of
an Office woman, at least, to be a stencil
in the nostrils of the public Why
few months ago a Senator and his wife
were seated in a first-class restaurant
in the city when a fine-looking, hand
somely attired woman came in,
The wife said to her husband; who
is that. | wonder?" and he replied:
Nobody but one of those ID office
women"
1t SO happened that the lady in ques-
ton, though employed as Government
clerk, was a Christian woman and had
spent her time and money when
wealthy in philanthropic work; and
all her time out of Office hours, and
most Of her small salary still goes in
the same way now, but her reputation
must come under the same shadow of
every woman in the departmental Of
fees, because Of the loose morals of
officials and the few bold, immodest
women.

1t is very good in you to take an in.

The one truthful reason was that he

they gave a plausible excuse, which

Of Westminster were both "K. G's.,"

ferred on Lord Roberts.
An earldom is the third highest Of
the British titles to nobility, dukes and
marquises taking precedence of earls.
The provision that Lord Roberts new
peerage is with remainder" to his
daughters is very rarely made. The
technical definition Of remainder" Is
a provision for the passage of a patent
of nobility to special successor or
line Of succession In default Of male
Issue on the decease of a present
holder.
In this case the provision means that
the title can descend through the fe-
male line, and 1t is evidently designed
to mark Queen victoria's sympathy
with Lord Roberts over the loss Of his
only son, Lieutenant F. III. s. Roberts,
who was MORALLY wounded while gal
lantly attempting to save the guns at
the Tugela river and died On Dec. II,
1899 Before he died Lieutenant Rob-
erts was recommended for the Victoria
cross, and the queen, as mark Of
appreciation of the young mans valor
and the services rendered by Lord Rob-

when Lady Roberts visited Windsor

the Cape, to hand her a small parcel.
