MONDAY EVENING, JULY II, 1905

A scANDALOUs state of affairs in the
statistical bureau of the Department OF
Agriculture not touched upon yet in the
official reports regarding the sale OF crop
figures and the discussed prosecution Of
Holmes has been disclosed by the investi-
CATION, and is certain to cause COM
plete reorganization of the bureau. Chief
Statistician Hyde is to be removed, IT Is
said. not because it has been shown that
he was connected in any way with the
sale of statistics, but because his man
aeen,ent has be so loose and has displayed
such incompetency that his retention in
Office, it is declared, would defeat the
very purposes the investigation is ex-
pected to accomplish. The scanda! in
this case is caused by woman. 1t is
asserted by other employees oftbe bureau
that the woman in question is in virtual
control of this branch Of the govern
menCs work. Her position is that Of
stenographer or typewriter, but her au-
thority, it is charged, extends over the
chiefs of the bureau and their subor-
dinates. This is the woman, too, who
is suspected of having becoming mys-
teriously wealthy from sources which are
merely guessed at. She has Travelled IN
Europe, it is said, and throughout the
United States, wears great dea' of jew
elry, and draws a salary of not more
than $50 per month. 1t is related that
upon one occasion having had slight
dispute with one of the heads of the sta
tistical bureau, she threw glass Of jelly
at him. Another time she threw several
biscuits at her superior officers, much to
the establishment of other employees Of
the department For none Of these out
bursts of anger was she even reprimand-
ed, it being generally understood among
the clerks that she was to have her own
way. This would indicate that the
Department of Agriculture is nderpettl-
coat rule.

lieved, however, that he coniemplates

COMMUNICATED.
An EyesOre.

For a good many years an old wreck
has been lying in dock about midway
between Prince and Duke streets on the
north side of the Old Dominion Boat
House which not only detracts from the
appearance of the boat house from the
street and river but is the source of great
annoyance to members when they take
ladies rowing, for is not an unusual
sight to see two or three drunken men
lying about the deck of the rotten hulk,
and very often men can be seen playing
cards or employing their time in some
other method of gambling. Then, too
this old wreck extends out in the river
within a few feet of the boat house float
and boats in approaching the boat house
are very often in danger of colliding
with it, this is especially true on dark
nights. The removal of this wreck would
cost but little and would not only benefit
the Old Dominion Boat Club but all who
are interested in the Improvement of the
river front.

A CLERGYMAN in Washington yester-
day RECALLED his congregation with an
optomistic sermon, in which he endeay-
ored to make it plain to his hearers that
the world is becoming better. The facts
are decidedly against the convictions OF
the preacher, Judging from a glance at
present conditions in the most civilized
countries of the world. There has been
marked falling off in church attendance
during recent years and corresponding
decline in interest in spiritual matters.
Beside these the number of murders and
scandals in high places-government de-
partments and private corporations-are
ever Oh the increase. Wife murders are
becoming common, while modern Blue
boards are decidedly in evidence. The
observance of Sunday is no longer looked
upon by large percentage OF people as
a moral or legal requirement and Sun
day excursions and jaunting trips are on
the increase, with the usual accOmpani-
ments of such pastimes. From an in
ternational point Of view there is virtual
ly nothing to show that the world is adj
vancing toward the ideal of some we'll
meaning ministers. Many would re-
ioice to see a different order of thing,
and the dreams of the clergyman refer
red to above crystalize into facts; but 1t
is useless to close our eyes to what we
see and hear and fill ourselves with q
self-evident halucins:ion.

Montague Loses His Temper.

The speech of Governor Montague in
Manchester Saturday night was unusually
fiery. He went after his opponent, Sen
atOr Martin, mainly on the ground that
the latter had attacked the Corporation
Commission and charged that the effort
was either in behalfo the railroads or 10
belittle democratic administration.
The governor said that the last State
Convention was the first in years that
had failed to endorse the democratic adj
ministration. As Mr.. Martin was said
TO have controlled feur-ffths of the
body it was doubtless by his direction
that there was no action.
