'o'''es M A. watson or. the municipal gov
eminent are rubbing their eyes to find
whether they are awake.
A young man named Watson, just
barely of age, has been in charge of a
fund in the auditors office which re-
suited from payments made by citizens
obliged to pay one-half the cost of lay
ing sidewalks in front of their houses
This sum is pretty large, but it seems
to have been shoveled into a drawer
and into the bank and out again with
hardly any record except what young
Watson chose to keep.
A few days ago it was discovered
that he was supposed to have made
away with $4,000 dollars of the fund,
and now he is in Jail.
The disquieting feature of the case,
however, is the fact that this young
man, when appointed to Office, is said
to have already had criminal record.
1t is said that as a boy of II he was
convicted of forgery and sentenced to
two years in the reform school, This
seems to have been known to the Dis
trict officials, and yet he was intrusted
With the care of the funds, and no check
whatever was put on him. He had a
salary of s1,40O a year, and on this
salary he supported wife, played the
races, and cut dash with red devil.
He was known as one of the liveliest
and most extravagant sporting charac-
tiers in Washington; and yet though
his superiors knew he was doing all
this on $1,400 year, and that he had
a shady record to boot, they never sus-
pected anything wrong until the $40
900 had disappeared.

NEW PLANT DISEASE.
IT Affects the Cowpea ana Is Similar
to the Rust Appearing ON the
Common Bean.

Every new plant seems to bring to
our notice one or more new diseases.
Prof. L. H. Pammel. of the Iowa Agri-
cultural college, has made report on
the rust affecting the cowpea. The
professor is inclined to think that this
rust is identical with the rust appear
ing on the common bean. The rust spots
that first appear on the leaves are round,
but later seem to flow together and form

corps. Gen. Haywood has seen the ma
rine corps grow from small body lit
tie regarded by the other branches of
the service into a body OF nearly 10000
men, standing on level In the public
regard with the army and the navy
The greater part of this growth has
come since he was promoted to the
head of the corps, ten years ago.
The corps is three times as large as
it was then His own rank was that
of colonel 1t has been raised success
sively by congress to brigadier general
and major general. Gen. Haywood, in
person, has had more to do with the
advancement of the corps from its small
estate than any other man. He has
commanded the respect of congress and
successive administrations, and he has
been regarded as soldier not involved
in any schemes and plots for personal
advancement.
The marine corps takes pride in it's
fighting record. 1t has seen service in
every war entered into by the United
States, and in proportion to its numbers
it has acquitted itself with eXtraordi-
nary credit. Its enlisted men have the
reputation of being better drilled and
of preserving better discipline than the
enlisted men of any other service. In
Col. Waller the corps has one of the few
really distinguished fighting heroes of
the United States, and it is due to Gen.
Haywood and the esprit de corps which
he has cherished that much of the re-
cent laurels have been won.

Probably Bristow is personally the
least popular man in the government
service. Members of congress for years
have been complaining that they could
not get things" out of his division in
the post Office department. But Bristow
hasn't minded bit. He has courted
the distinction, if anything, and he takes
delight in hewing straight to the line In

Of wrong. 1t is quite probable that if
the present inquiry had not been started
Bristow would not have retained his
position in the department long, for he
had lost his political backing at home,
and there were scores of members OF
congress who were demanding his re-
moval or transfer. But it would be a
rash politician who would venture to
suggest to the president now that he
dispense with the services of his fourth
assistant postmaster general.

The United States is likely to be some
