Here is the guarded and diplomatic man
ner in which the daily press tells Of one Of
the too numerous fracases which occur in
the Government departments when grass
widows and concubine employees capture
the affections of the male married clerk
and ALLEVIATE the same from their true aud
lawful wives
An irate woman filled with the spirit of
vengeance and armed with a long, black
cowhide whip of the welt raising variety
appeared on the FIFTH floor OF the post Office
building, on Pennsylvania avenue just at
the close Of lunch hour Thursday, and in
quired sternly for one Of the lady clerks.
The latter had been warned Of the approach
of the visitor and was noticeable principally
because Of her absence from the room.
The woman with the whip had determine
ton In her heart, plenty Of it, and there
was blood in her eye. The one thing lack
ing to complete the conditions for success
full horsewhippug, inflicted by one woman
upon another, was the woman who was
scheduled to receive the rain of blows.
The woman with the cowhide, finally,
was persuaded to leave the building, al
though the plans of the visitor so she
said, have not been abandoned, merely
postponed.
Friends Of the woman sought had warned
her that there was trouble in the air so
she was on the lookout, Thursday, when
the irate visitor was ascending to the fifth
floor in the elevator on one side of the
building the widow was descending to the
first Aoor on the elevator on the other side
Of the building. She made good her es-
cape, aud the whip was cheated Of its prey.
The grass widow in this case persists in
her intimacy with the husband Of the afore-
said 'irate woman" She has been fire.
quently warned. but it has done no good.
1t never does when a department grass
widow makes up her mind to capture
somebody else's husband The CLONE ad.
monishes her, however. that the ''irate
woman" will get her" and there will be
trouble when she does. The chief of the
department had better put curb on this
liaisou of one of his grass widow clerks in
respect to Foulke & Co. of the Civil Ser
vice even if no other consideration moves
him. Foulke is afraid the Census clerks
might corrupt the virtuous grass widows
whom married women visit the depart
ment to thrash

The "suudowner" or the department EN-
ploye who practices a private profession
after Government office lours has been the
subject Of several Greece Roman write ups
in these columns. These suudowuers were
all disciples of Galeu and the GLOBE was
unaware that any other Of the polite pro.
fessons vas practiced by the porcue Gov
eminent clerk after Office hours II seems,
however that the most lucrative of the pro.
fessions followed by the sUNDOwNER was
overlooked. This morning, therefore the
GLOBE hastens to repair its error and trots
out the sUNDOwNER ARCHITECT.
The chief sUNDOWNER architects who
takelthe bread from the mouths Of their
uusalaried fellows are Messrs. Cole, Francis
and Davis Mr. Denison in the Indian Of
fee; Messrs. Judson, Meline and others in
tie Supervising Architects Office OF the
Treasury Department, and Mr.. Baylis in the
Surgeon Generals Office. All Of these
gentlemen are in the receipt of fat salaries
from the Government and all of them prac-
uce their profession on the outside in com
petition with outside architects who have
to hustle for living.
The Sanitary Improvement Company, an
organization of philanthropic capitalists
whose purpose is to erect modest homes
for working people, which rent for fourteen
dollars per month and which cost for their
erection about s. 800 each on a FIVE hundred
dollar lot thus netting those charitable
gentlemen only fifteen per cent. per annum
on their philanthropic investment, employ,
as a rule these sUNDowNER architects be-
cause they also donate their services in the
drafting Of plans, specifications, etc. That
is to say the sundowner charges philan-
thropic prices compared to outside archi
tects who have no salaries from Uncle Sam
NJ Baylis Is very handy with his pen

VERY LOUD KICK
BY stranded Passengers Against the
B a. o. PeOpIe--SOme Four OF
Five Hundred Passengers
COrralled at the Depot
for DAYS

Trains commenced to run on the B. g. o.
Thursday last from the depot, but Nj. Legge
terminal agent, is afraid that the storm Of
Wednesday night might again interfere
with the travel During the past week, and
since February 2S, the depot of the B. & o.
has been pretty we'll packed with stranded
passengers unable to proceed because Of
the weather blockade of the lines Until
Sunday last the B. & 0. people offered no
sort of assistance to these patrons Of its
lines, many of whom were absolutely suffer-
ing for food and place to sleep.
The B. & o. refused to redeem the tick
cts held BY these passengers. There were
many women and children among the num-
Der who were absolutely helpless. Sunday
last when the GLOBE representative visited
the depot he found three or four hundred
people who indignantly complained of
their treatment and of the broken promises
of the company to send train out. They
had been already four days in waiting.
Mr., Legge on Sunday made canvas of the
passengers TO discover those in need Of
food He exhibited a receipted bill to the
GLOBE from the hotel showing that he had
expended S47 for food, one man eating a
porterhouse steak costing $3.50.
Among the passengers Of prominence
who were the most emphatic in their come
plants Of the company were

The past week visit from a Richmond
young lady and her friend was uipped in
the bud by her father. The daily papers
announced that Miss Julia A. + Davis.
Richmond young lady, who, determined to
pay a visit to the city of Baltimore, left her
home in the Virginia capital in spite of the
efforts of her parents to detain her, had all
her plans spoiled by the Washington police.
She left Richmond with a lady who con
sented to act as chaperon for the young
traveller, not suspecting that she was acting
contrary to the wishes of her parents.
All went we'll until they reached Wash
ington. When Miss Davis stepped from
the train she was accOsted by Detective
Hewlett and was requested to go with him
to police headquarters. She objected, but
he insisted, and she finally agreed to 60
without making scene. At police head
quarters she was informed that she would
be detained until her father would come
to Washington to take her back to her
home. She said she wanted to go to Balti-
more because she wanted to visit some
friends there and she expressed her opinion
of the officers who interrupted her jour.
ney.
She was sent to the House OF Detention
and will be held until her father arrives
from Richmond When he learned that she
had gone he wired the Baltimore police to
arrest and hold her pending his arrival, but
the Baltimore officers wired the local depart
ment of the plans OF the girl, and Detective
Hewlett was directed TO intercept her here
Her father was notified Immediately after
she was arrested. Miss Davis Is seventeen
years old and of very attractive appear
ance.
The two danes referred to who formerly
visited US also played the chaperou racket,
but the chaperon in that case was wilder
than her protege. Miss Davis will be pleased
when she grows older that her father took
heroic measures and spoiled her visit to
either Baltimore or Washington, even
though she was under the protection of a
chaperon.

There may be a tragedy in the War De-
partment one of these days over the rival
aspirations of brace of clerks for the
favors of well-known dame employed in
the State Department One of the two
lovers holds a superior official position to
his younger and better looking rival aud is
accused by the latter of endeayoring to use
his official position to intimidate him from
fui ther attentions to the dame.
The dame herself has been the friend and
companion of the elder clerk for several
years, but recently she has experienced a
change Of heart, and is now to be seen IN
some Of the haunts of the under world with
the Younger and more fascinating lover.
Thursday evening last the three met, that
is to state the younger c. and his inamo-
rata, and the elder r. with his eye
glasses aud cane. A wordy dispute ended
in the younger man attempting to leave the
upstairs restaurant on Z street with his
fame, but the elder aud discarded lover
barred the way aud peremptorily demanded
an explanation from the inconstant dame.
There is no explanation, Mr.. R. " she
was heard to hotly retort. 'but that l do
not desire your company and have chosen
nv escort"
I shall not tamely stand for this-you
know what you owe to me and / will not be
thrown down without explanation"
This speech was scarcely finished when
the younger Of the clerks grasped his dis
carded rival by the collar and jerked him
from the doorway, through which the lady
darted as quickly as-no, not a CAT but
quick as a fash The discarded lover lost
his head, in the indignity put upon him by
being thus throttled by subordinate clerk
and he raised his cane and smashed-the
chandelier The noise of the falling glass
brought the proprietor Of the restaurant on
the scene and in time to separate two very
angry men seeking each others gore.
When peace was restored and the bel
hgerents separated il was found that the
elderly lover had not only smashed the
chandelier, but his gold eye glasses, bits and
pieces Of which were too small to gather
up, as the glasses had been ground under
the heels of the struggling rivals.
Acting under the advice Of the sagaciOus
proprietor both men agreed to pay the dam
ages and maintain discreet silence. In
Justice to the lady it was urged by the pro-
prietor that the rivals should let by-gones
be by.gones and shake hands.
The discarded lover weakened and agreed
TO the proposition, saying as he did So
You may have her. l realize cannot
keep her pace any longer and that you are
better qualified to keep up"
The young aud successful lover smiled
and assured his official superior that it was
merely a case of platonic love between him
self and the State Department dame, but
the elder sardonically grinned as he COM
meuted "Yes--you are not the first, how
ever, to enact that role" And the curtain
fell, but who is wearing a new pair Of gold
eye glasses in the War Department.

The French ball on Thursday night last

followed and stuffed them with beer wine

gers of the ball are to be congratulated on
the decorum with which the gay revel
passed off, only half dozen fights or small
scraps interrupting the festivities. Half
