JEW And GENTLE
Both Department Clerks and of
the Opposite Sex.
THEIR AMOROUs RELATIONS.
Causing Much Comment ana Gossip
in Both the Post-Office and AgricuI-
tural Departments--AFe They Mar
ried on the European or American
PIanP- Expelled from One Hotel
They Are Now Boarding Together.

There is q clerk in the Post.office Depart
ment on the rolls at 81 Soo who is either
maintaining improper relations with an Ag-
ricultural female clerk drawing ST., 200 or
they are man and wife. In the one case the
Edmunds law is being violated, and in the
other the Civil Service law is being ignored
as usual-whichl The GLOBE is rather in
cined to think that the couple are married,
Notwithstanding that the male is a Hebrew
and the female to Judge by her coguomeu,
a descendant Of the lost tribe-Irish It is
atraditiou in certain portions of Europe that
the Irish are descended from the tribe lost in
the wilderness, which accounts in part for
the amicable relations which generally ex-
lists between the Irish and Iews-especially
as IN this case when they are of the oppo-
site sex
The GLOBE has been in receipt, from
time to time, of communications concern
ing this couple, but in the rush of other and
more important matters they have been
overlooked However, in the past week
more specific and detailed biography of
their persons and doings reached this Office
and we have accordingly determined to dis
pose of them and satisfy the moral desires
for reform animating our numerous cores
pondents. Here is the latest with the blue
pencil drawn across names, etc:
Editor SUNDAY Globe.
--, clerk in the Post-ofice Depart
meut, New Jersey Jew, at 81 800 per an
num- residence, northwest, January I, 1902.
-- -'--, clerk In the Agricultural De-
partment at 81, 400 per annum, native Of
Washington d. c., credited to a Mary
land Congressional District; residence,
northwest, January L, 1902. Miss - was
a clerk III the Treasury at 5000. Through
the influence of Mr. - and a New Jersey
Congressman she was transferred to the
Agricultural Department aud promoted to
1900.
A few years ago this couple resided, with
other boarders and roomers, at hotel.
Their amorous conduct became offensive to
decent people and the proprietor elected
them, or told them quietly to seek other
fields and green pastures. Every evening
when the Department closes Mr.. ---- meets
his inamOrata at the corner and together
they ride to their boarding house in a yell
low street car up the avenue and out Four
teenth street.
II they are man and wife, no one knows
it, If they are not, surely the case ought
to be investigated under the Edmunds law.
Mr. - brought his influence to bear on
General Smith and he was promoted to
81 800, not because he is worthy of il, nor
more competent than other clerks, but il
gave Mr.. Smith an opportunity to show his
Indifference toward several veterans in the
Office, who. under the law, should have the
preference, but never got it while Smith
was the Post master General.
Mr - can and does take more privi-
leges and liberties in the office than any
clerk in the Department, and in addition he
has become prematurelY bald, the result of
trying to turn somersaults over the head
board of his bed FELLOW CLERK.
The GLOBE mas taken some pains to hide
the identity Of the couple complained Of
even from their fellow clerks, and of course
the general public is in profound ignorance
in the matter This will be accepted, it is
to be hoped, in the charitable spirit with
which it is intended aud the couple will
proceed to the nearest justice of the peace
and get spliced, if they are not already man
and wife, OF the Edmunds law will get
them -
