the position Of clerk in charge of the de-
post and assessment fund in the auditor

II reported this fact to the Commissioners,
who ordered that all candidates for the
place be sent before the examining board

having kindly consented to conduct the
same as a courtesy to the District of Co.
lumbia.
Il then requested the Commissioners to
furnish me with the names of such men
as they knew personally, or believed upon
trustworthy information to be reliable and
competent, in order that they might be ex-
amined, with the understanding that the
candidate who attained the highest average
percentage Of credits would receive the APP
pointment.
Capt. L. II. Beach, Engineer Commits
sioner presented the name of J. NJ A. Wat
SON. and received my assurance that 1t
would give me pleasure to see his candidate
succeed. especially in view Of the fact that
the appropriation for assessment and per-
init work, to which his duties related, and
out of which his salary would be paid, was
under the captains own control and SUPER
vision. Up to this time Watson was an abso-
lutte stranger to me, whose name, even, l
had never before, to my knowledge, heard
mentioned.
Shortly after this interview. with Capt.
Beach. Watson filed with me Nletter Of APP

This criticism is without justification, as

Of the gossip which 1t now seems was
current respecting Watson. His posses
sion of an automobile, which is said to
have cost $500, has been severely ami
madverted upon as something that could
not possibly have overlooked and yet the
explanation is simple, consisting merely
in the fact that when I asked him how
1t was obtained he said, without the
slightest change of countenance, that 1t
was a gift to Mrs. Watson from her
father, who was man Of large wealth.
ION another occasion, which must have
been about the time he stole the sum for
which he was arrested, he related with
much detail the circumstances Of the death
of rich grandmother in Kentucky, who
had left him her entire fortune of $4,000

Watson Not Required to Give Bond.
II have been criticised for not bonding
Watson and for intrustings large sums of
money to his custody without careful over
sight upon him to see that 1t was not mis-
appropriated. This criticism is based upon
a total misrepresentation. The only money
that went into Watson's hands legitimate
ly. or with my consent or knowledge, was
when the rolls of the street railway cross
ing policemen or Of laborers under the
Rock Creek Park commission were to be
paid. 1t Is possible that in the earlier his
tory OF disbursements in connection with
these accounts sent him once or twice to
the bank for the cash. Being for pay rolls
the check was accompanied by statement
showing the various denominations of
notes, and the quarters, dimes, nickels and
pennies required to make the payment.

This Is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for
Group is in demand in every neighbor-
hood. One of the most terrible things
in the world is to be awakened IN the
middle of the night by whoop from
one OF the children. The Group rene
dies are almost as sure to be lost In
case of burglars. There used to be an
old fashioned remedy for Group,
known as hive syrup and tolu, but
some modern mothers say that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better, and
does not cost SO much. 1t causes the
patient to throw up the phlegm''
quicker, and gives relief In shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as the
croupY cough appears and 1t will pre-
vent the attack. 1t never falls and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale by
