1.-THE White Slave which has not been
seen here in years, but which is announced
for week 8 engagement at the Grand
opera house the coming week, is one of
those happy melodramas which the pub
lie does not seem to grow tired of. Its
chief charm is that the cut-and-thrust
game Of the hero and villain is often re-
1ieved by delicate touches of pathos and
old-time negro music.

think you would make a decided hit to
take up Foxy Grandma Castle, the Auditor
for the Post-office Department, to amuse
the Senators and Representatives. Com
mence by introducing him first upon his
arrival in Washington to assume his very
arduous duties as chief of one of the largest
disbursing Offices in the world. Make the
next scene his first visit to a parlor on
Seventh street before he had a chance to
square himself with the grass widows Of
his Office Next show him surro unded by
these ladies.
Then show him at his desk issuing his FIRST
famous order denying himself to all the
employees in his Office during business
hours. After this fiat goes forth then look
into that commodious Office he occupies
any time during any day when he is not
out of town and show him surrounded by
swarm Of buzzards, so overwhelmed with
the arduous duties imposed upon HIM by
this great Government. You could then
show him after the days duties were per
formed taking his treatment by one whose
service is paid by Uncle Sam Then you
could show him as he appears next day in
specting the very complicated questions
promulgated by alien-born Chief Clerk
Sleman, and put in shape on the type
writer by grass widow. Then show the
procession coming into his sanctum to re-
ceive notice TO appear before the examining
board of Lyman and Deland to determine
whether they are capable of performing the
duties they have been engaged upon for the
past one to fifteen years.
Then you could show him, arrayed like
solomon in all his glory ready to receive
his slaves at the New Years reception 1.-THE

Sleman Johnson, Holland & Co.. } now pass
along the line to see his chosen assistants.
There is the great l am, Second Deputy
Auditor Allen; Mrs. Moody, oh, so beautiful,
and Mrs. Ferguson, too sweet for anything.
and other ladies. Now watch the slaves,
led by their chiefs before this great array of
wisdom and beauty; observe the slaves bow
as they pass along, and touch the hand that
directs this mighty Government department
then they are excused for the balance Of
the day. This would do for the first Sun
days issue.
This would be very entertaining for the
new Secretary Of the Treasury when he as
sumes the reins at the head of this great
bureau If he needed any coaching he
could call upon Foxy Grandma Castle he
would be sure of correct information IL he
does not ask about the business Of auditing
accounts I am afraid he has not yet had
time (duriug his five short years in ofice)
TO learn anything about such trivial matters.
All you could expect one to learn in that
short time would be the general supervision
of such arduous business.

CAPTAIN HALLECK
OF the Interior Department Watch
Criticized by eX-UniOn Soldiers
for His FavOritism

From time To time the GLOBE is in receipt
Of complaints, criticisms, and growls of
and concerning Captain Halleck, captain of
the watch in the Interior Department The
burden Of these complaints is his favorit-
ism and his lack of appreciation of the
Union veteran soldier. For instance, il is
charged that one Fred A. Mitchell, 900 D
street southeast, who is young man and a
watChman at the Smithsonian building, was
informed BY Captain Halleck that he wanted
young men for his watch as the veterans
were too old and useless Mr. Mitchell, il
appears, was trying to get transferred to
the Interior Department watchman force as
the pay is greater, and in conversing with
Captain Halleck about it the captain said:
You are just the kind of man ! want.
These old soldiers are played out ! want
young active men, and l will help you all
can to get transferred
Mr. Mitchell repeated this conversation
to several old soldiers who brought the
news to the GLOBE Office.
Captain Halleck has secured the discharge
one time OF another of several old soldiers,
among whom are Philander NIcMullen,
George Steacb, Captain William Hunt and
David /. Thomas.
It is charged against the captain that he
is an honorary member of the Confederate
Veterans Post in this city that he Guilt
Yates the Confederate soldier to the disau-
vantage Of the Union Veteran, and that on
one occasion an ex-Confederate Veteran
who applied for a position to then Secre-
tary of the Interior (Hoke Smith was in.
formed by his personal friend, the Secre-
tary, that he would gladly give him the ap.
pointment Of watchman, but that there was
no vacancy. On retiring from the SecretarY's
Office Capt. Halleck tackled him and asked

informed the captain of what the Secretary
said, to which Capt Halleek replied;
oh if that's all that's keeping you out
/ can soon make vacancy"
He then entered the Secretary's office and
recommended the discharge of a Union
Veteran soldier who was at the time on sick
leave at his home.
The Confederate Veteran tells this story
himself on Captain Halleck and the captain
has been correspondingly wrathy over the
