THE MYSTERY OF MARY M'LANE.

Is Mary MacLane literary myth? 1t is put forth
as an explanation of the Mary Maclane phenomenon
that the sponsors Of her first book were two young
women professional writers Of Chicago; that when
the alleged Mary MacLane reached Boston, with the
avowed intention entering Radcliffe college, these
two Chicago women furnished her with letters of in
PRODUCTION; the MacLane girl who reached Boston
did not correspond with the photograph published OF
Boston studying chemistry under tutor for week
or and then announced to have returned
to Butte Yet all this time "she has been living
quietly in Boston, writing new book. This new
book is getting it's preliminary boom in the press
But critics of ability who have seen the advance
proofs are quite sure that the hand that writes this
book is not the same that penned Book No l.
The preface starts off with this curious statement:
1t is made up Of reflections and impressions and
sketches-but l hate the words, and my reflections
are not reflections and my impressions are not i'm

BRIsToW STILL AT WORK.

The publication process in the postofice depart
ment is being extended by Fourth Assistant Post
master-General Brstow and his staff of inspectors.
One result in all probability, will be the early dis
missal from the service of more than twenty-five
additional clerks and other subordinate employees
whose names with few exceptions have not thus
far figured publicly in the revelations. Although
automatically denied in the Office of the fourth
sistant is believed TO be true, nevertheless that
Mr. Bristow is preparing list of names of what
are known as "high-grade" clerks in the depart
ment which he will submit to Postmaster-Gen-
eral Payne with the recommendation that they be
dismissed.
The cases of few, if any. of these clerks will be
presented to the grand jury for consideration, as
has been done by Gen. Bristow in other cases as
result of his investigation. His special report to
the postmasergeneral concerning them will contain,
however, reasons for this discharge for use should
they appeal to the civil service commission for pro-
lection This report will charge in substance that
some of these clerks were in position to know of
the alleged Irregularities practiced by bureau Chiefs
like Machen and Beavers, who now under indict-
ment and that their duty to report their sus-
picions to the higher postofhce officials
An interesting case, it is alleged, has been I'M
covered. postal employee in Machens bureau,
who passed month in the Providence Hospital in
Washington nearly year ago, recovering from
gunshot wound inflicted by district government
officer in an affair woman, received for that
time an expense allowance OF 81 day on the sworn
affidavit that he travelling about the country
in the discharge of official duties This man has
such senatorial backing that he has been undis-
turbed thus far in spite of the charges with which
the department is familiar.
