He has sat out there through rain and shine for many years, but the elements or the mis- 6bievous hand of vandal have worked an injury to his left eye. 4 p.ece of the marble has either been worn away by the action of the rain and frost or been clipped off by some ielic hunter or mischievous boy The damage has changed the whole ex- Tression of the statue and given the noble couutenance as carved by Grenough, a decidedly comical appear ance Some of the irreverent tourists who have gazed on the statue for the first time suggest that it might now be used as an efflgy of the notorious Gen. B. F. Butter of Massachusetts whose coek-eye Is the best remem- bered feature of his face.
 The capitol and the municipal police in Washington have hard task in watching public buildings and statues flu order to prevent their mutilatioa by relic hunters or evil disposed per sens Some people have a mania for defacing the walls of public buildings and monuments. Heavy fines are pro- vided for those who so mutilate monu- ments and walls in the capital city The Washington monument has been guarded closely evSr since 1t was opened to the public but with all the vigilance of the officers pieces have been clipped from the stones inside and marks have been scratched on the outside of that great monument. The white house has not been exempt from ihs vandalism and every season it IS found that constituencies visitors have shipped the curtains in the east room and broken little ornaments they could touch undeteeted. and otherwise uutilated the decorations.

 Gen. Ainsworth has had remarka- rle career He entered the army as a medical officer and when only holding the rank of captain he devised a sys- tenn of indexes for the record of the army by which at a moments notice the record of every soldier could be obtained. The work developed into Cne of the greatest of it's kind in the world. and today there are on file 53 947 e39 index record cards giving the individual service records of all the soldiers that ever served the United States. and also the record of nearly 3,000,000 confederate soldiers He was entrusted with the publication of the records of the rebellion. amounting to several hundred vol umes. The data which he has collect Cd and stored in his office is the most valuable ever compiled by a govern ment. and of the greatest use in deter mining pension cases and claims against ;he government
 Gen. Ainsworth's peculiar talent for this sort of work earned him the re- spect and admiration of very strong friends in congress. and he was ad- Vanced in rank by congressional action rather than by tie act of the exeeu- tive branch of the government.

a nero These opportunities some- times come in even so humdrum a line of army work as that of an en. gineer officer
 Maj. Cassius E. Gillette has been fortunate enough to thus twice distin- euish himself and to-day he is one of the most talked-of officers in the army. It was he who eight years ago discovered the frauds in government contracts at Savannah, Ga. which led 10 the conviction and imprisonment of his predecessor in charge of that work. Capt. Oberlin M. Carter. He has just completed an investigation of public works in Philadelphia and has shown that the political gang in that city have secured nearly s7,o0o 900 in graft from two or three city contracts.
 Maj Gillette knows no influence of any sort in the discharge of his duties. At Savannah he was ostraeised by the society people because he dared to charge Capt Carter with fraud. Capt Carter had been social lion in that city, But Maj. Gillette did not hesitate tc encounter criticism and ostracism. and finally landed his predecessor in prison. In his Philadelphia investiga- ton he was charged with working for political effect and with so timing his report as to make it influence the city and state elections This charge had TO effect on the courageous army off Ger, and he stands to-day with the best record of any of his associates n tfe corps fo: efficient work in the pro lection of the government and in fer ietlng out frauds in big contracts. He is a comparatively young man, being tut 46 years of age. and the prom. renee he has attained by his unearth- .ng of the biggest frauds ever known in the army and municipal affairs promises to put him at the head c. his profession
