GILOEO THIEF CAUGHT
He Had Been EmbezzIing Gov

Amounts.
80 lac Assoeiated Press.l

Washington. June 9.-James M. Watson,
Jr., clerk in the office of the auditor OF
the District of Columbia and the son-in-
law of a wealthy retired railroad con-
tractor was arrested today on a charge of
embezzlement of government funds. The
amount is estimated at from $780, 900 to s75,-
00O Watson was bonded, and in case he
or his relatives, several of whom are said
to be wealthy, fail to make the alleged
loses, Auditor J. T. Petty viii be held re-
sponsible for the amount The auditors
bond is for $4,000 The money alleged to
have been embezzled was part of the
funds deposited in the office of the audi
tor by property owners who are willing
to pay half or all costs of improvement
abutting on their property, such as paving
sidewalks, alleys and streets. This en-
braces deposits by railway companies, cleo
tric light companies, telephone companies,
for crossing sidewalks for sewers and
water mains and is entirely separate from
the other accounts. This amount is not
subject to review by the Treasury Depart
ment, but it is checked by the clerk in
charge of the corresponding account In the
District Engineer Department, and he re-
ported it correct as late as February, 1902
The depositors, it is said, have the right
to recover from the district through suit
The auditors office is under the supervis-
ion of the Board of Commissioners of the
District of Columbia. Auditor Petty has
complete charge of the assessments and
permit fund, depositing the money IN a
bank to his own credit Mr.. Watson, it
Is alleged, has been entrusted with making
the deposits and has returned the pass
book in apparently proper condition in
each instance. He has been an employe
OF the district for four years, and the al
legged defalcation are supposed to have oc-
CURED throughout most of this period.
Auditor Petty today said that the ac-
counts had been manipulated in such a
clveer manner that he was not certain of
the exact situation until today. Watson
was joint publisher of the News. Bulle-
tin issued in this city In addition to
running the paper he owner a barber shop
which he has been trying to sell recently.
He was the promoter of a patent medicine
concern, and the Treasurer of what is
known as the District Cooperative Asso-
ciation, which takes in money from en-
ployes on deposit, and lends it out again.
Many OF the office holders at the district
building are depositors in the association.

Several months ago Major Sylvester, the

record and it is stated he found that Wat
son was sent to the reform school while in
his minority on charge of forgery.

FOOLED ALL FRANCE.
mpOstOr Made Paris Believe He Was
Ambassador From Persia.


Toward the end of the year TIA a
certain Mehemet Rizabecq, who called
himself ambassador of the king Of Per-
STA. and the bearer of his commands,
disembarked at Marseilles.
He was received at two leagues from
Paris by the Baron de Breteuil, usher
of ambassadors, and the Marshal de
Matignon. On the Oath of January,
lilo, he made his solemn entry into
the capital with great pomp.
He declined the royal carriages gen.
orally used on such occasions and en-
tered on horseback, preceded by the
finest horses of the kings stables, su-
perbly caparisoned and accompanied
b. trumpets and bands of music.
The ambassador, richly arrayed in
tie Persian costume, was attended by
q numerous train of domestics and
r-eceded by a herald bearing he'Per
sian standard. The presents which he
offered to the king were very incOn-
siderable.
After passing a short time in France,
during which he concluded, in the
name of his pretended master, treaty
of alliance with Louis XIV, he sailed
from Sweden and Denmark and was
never heard of later.
Rizahecq, according to the memoirs
of the Reign of Louis XIV" was a
Portuguese who had never seen the
prince he represented nor even visited
q single province of Persia. The gov
eminent paid the expenses of his ex-
cellency, which amounted to 1000 H.

A WORD TO FARM TOILERS.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend of the
Farmer and His Family.

After the labors and tolls OF the summer time,
and harvesting of crops in the early autumn,
many Of our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in a condition OF
health demanding careful attention if suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some form; with some the
liver is torpid; there is biliousness, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss of appetite and depression
of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiline in
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges OF
terrible rheumatism; others run down by
worry, overwork, and irregular dieting, are
tomented with the pangs of dyspepsia.
To the thousands OF run down, sickly, and
half dead men and women in farm homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend, Pane's Celery Compound,
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength to the weak body and yigor to
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones
the stomach; it removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism; it feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and banishes
neuralgia tortures; it purifes the blood and
gives true vitality and life. The use of Paine's
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab-
fishing OF perfect physical vigor to withstand
the ngors OF a severe winter
