The citizen referred to reblied to the
Recorder in such a manner and with such
facts and specifications that an answer was
required and expected, but 50 far the colored
official who bosses the white clerks and
employees including the wife of Superiu-
tendent Farrell as Recorder of the District
of Columbia failed to respond. He simply
closed up like a clam, intimidated no doubt
by some Senator or other "Auence" and

this morning by the GLOBE that with
salary Of 5000 per annum he requires or

white man and woman observes who have

Farrells have to retire, the GLOBE
hopes, as a white mans paper, it will
be the lady, and that the captain and
superintendent Of the document room will
be able to support her on his $1,000 per

There is no law or rule to prevent two mem.

Is this a meaningless question, and is il

disqualification whether an applicant has
one or one dozen members of his or her

Walter, the 14-year-old son of Mr.. F..
Z. Richards, of LaMoille, has left his
fathers home, apparently without
cause. taking with him horse and
saddle, belonging to his father. Young
Richards returned from school and,
after eating his dinner. went to the
barn and saddled one of his fathers
horses and rode away. AS soon as his
absence was known to his parents a
search was made for him and he was
followed as far south as the Jasper
county line, where the trail was lost.
There is no known reason why he
should have wished to run away. as
there was no unpleasantness either at
home or at the school he was attending.
