the offenses were committed and since
that time the officers have been under
investigation. One feature of the pecu-
lations was in connection with hand
ling potatoes. Large supplies of this
vegetable were sent to the post and
they were turned over TO a trading
company at a high rate. Although in
the hands of the trading company, the
potatoes were carried on the books of
the commissary officer as stock in hand
until some officer made purchases from
the company, when the stock of pota-
toes were reduced to meet the credit at
the company's Office and the officer
making would be charged with pota-
toes.
All the officers stationed at Skagway
at the time were implicated, though it
Is stated that there were different de-
grees of responsibility. Another Alaska
case relates to an alleged shortage in
the accounts of an officer. The officer
claimed his safe was broken open and
the money stolen. The authority de-
cided on a court-martial. The names
of the officers were not made public at
the department. Most of them have
changed station since the Irregularities
are said to have occurred.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2f-
Well informed officials in the postof-
flee department are beginning to pre-
dict that the net result of the scandals
in the department will be the decapi-
tation of First Assistant Postmaster
General Wynne and Superintendent of
Free Delivery Machen, whose quarrel
started the trouble.
Among the new developments. it is
stated that an order has been discov-
cred nullifying a standing postal order
which prohibits the giving out of lists
of patrons of a postoffice. An order
dated Dec. II, 1902, has been found re-
quiring postmasters to post the names
of persons receiving mail on rural free
delivery routes from their offices. This
order was issued from Supt. Machen's S
office and was approved by First AS
sistant Postmaster General Wynne
These men are bitter enemies and each
declared that the other is responsible
for the order. Mr.. Wynne says he
signed the order under a misapprehen-
sion.
1t is also charged that Mr.. Wynne
violated the civil service rules by ap-
pointing his nephew as "laborer" in
Philadelphia, though he was really en-
ployed in clerical work, and that an
other relative, woman, was classed
as a laborer in the office at Camden,
n. j., though actually a clerk.

GALLICK TIES TRIPLE
MARRIAGE

Court Commissioner Per-

A triple marriage ceremony per-

was the elimination of weeks of secret
planning and strategic maneuvers on
the part of the half dozen principals to
keep the matter from their friends
and relatives.
Every avenue from which the news
of the proposed wedding might escape
was carefully safeguarded, and the
time -honored tradition that woman
cannot. keep a secret was given a black
eye by the successful manner in which
the young lovers managed the affair.
None of their most Intimate friends.
and not even the relatives of the con-
tracing parties, were let in on the Sc
cret. One of the marriage licenses was
secured two weeks ago, another last
week and the third one yesterday aft
ernoon.
Arrangements were quietly made
with Court Commissioner Gallick to be
Nat his Office late last night, and while
the court commissioners was perform
ing the marriage ceremony, the friends
and, relatives of the young people sup
posed them to be in attendance at a
danee5 which had furnished the ex-
cuse for their being away from home

Plot of chums.
The three groons-Shadrack L. Rob-
erts, Jack Bohan and Bert Carlson
are fellow worknen, employed by
Pratt.s Express company, and all of
them have been friends and chums for
years.
Mr.. Behan's bride was Miss Mary
Grenier, while the young woman who
became Mrs. Roberts, was, before her
marriage, Miss Estelle Root. Mr.. Carl
son was married to Miss Genevieve
Carr All of the parties except Miss
Carr are st. Paul people. Miss Carr is
from Eau Claire, Wis, and recently
came to st. Paul ostensibly for the
purpose of visiting friends. The young
women, like their husbands, are all
mutual friends, and it was decided
some time ago that their marriages
should take place at the same time.
With everything in readiness for the
ceremony, the three couples were ar
ranged in a semi circle, and as they
stood there Judge Galliek arose to the
dignity of the unusual occasion and
used the most impressive service at
his command.
The first couple to be pronounced
man and wife We're Mr.. Roberts and
Miss Root. Two of the others signed
the marriage return as witnesses.
When Mr. Bohan and Miss Grenier had
been married, Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts
were asked to sign their names as wit
nesses.
Wasn't Sure of Name.
'Wh-what name shall 1 sign?" asked
the new bride, glancing first at her
husband and then at Judge Gallick.
"Oh, sign your married name, of
course, ;" said the judge.
The young woman advanced in a
timid manner, signed her new name,
and, blushing, resumed her position at
the side Of her husband.
When the third couple had been mar
ried, Judge GaHiek presented each of
the brides with marriage certificate
and an American Beauty rose, after
which the party left for the West side
to inform their friends that they had
not attended a dance after all.

Twenty acres of the ground of a
