From Breaking Down Again.

change will be made.

was regarded as serious. and be was alb
sent from the department for a long
time. He returned to work. however. and
has had no setback. but his friends think
it best for him to take a place where
it will be certain that he will not break
down.
General Spaulding was for number of
years special agent of the Treasury.
after having served in Congress. and is
regarded as one of the ablest men con-
nected with the Treasury Department.
His successor has not yet been chosen.
but Speaker Henderson is very anxious to
secure the place for his private secre-
tary. Mr.. Julian W. Richards. There are
other candidates whose friends think that

scented in official places in Washington.
