street. II they examine little more
closely they will find instructions to
the police and other employees in the
capitol to see that there is no smoking
but they will never see one of these
employees interfere with the smokers.
The fact is this rule at the capitol is a
dead letter. 1t is one Of the relics OF
a great reform worked by the late
Speaker Reed In the fifty-fourth con-
gress when he drove out OF the capitol
corridors apple women, curio sellers
and newspaper stands. He also had a
rule adopted that smoking must be
prohibited In the corridors and in the
elevators, and for some years this rule,
was religiously kept In latter times,
however, 1t has passed into innocuous
desuetude.

ally discovers that he is expected to
wink at the smoking. The other day

Yes; isn't 1t all right?
I'VE can't allow that here" ex-
planned the doorkeeper, pointing to the
sign again.
why 1t doesn't look offensive to
me; going to take 1t down, eh?"
THE rules are that we mustn't allow

there is no accounting for tastes" and

new employe realized that he had been
'joshed" by one of the senator's. He
has not been SO eager to stop smoking
in the corridors since.

government employees who have
reached an age where their usefulness
is impaired can be separated from the
government pay rolls. Chairmsniraw-
ney, OF the house committee on appro-.
priations, and his colleagues have
worked out scheme which prevents
the paying OF employees over 6k years
of age more than 81 900 salary. It fur
ther provides that after the year 1913
no one shall be employed as q clerk
who has reached the age Of 70 years.
This looks like harsh and cruel
measure. but Investigation VI the de-
partment has revealed large number
Of superannuated clerks who are really
a detriment to the service, but who are
drawing good salaries.
There is such a decided opposition
to the establishment of a civil pension
list that 1t would be useless to attempt
to put such a proposition through con-
gress. This is realized by the leaders.
and they have substituted the other
scheme OF reducing the pay OF old
clerks and cutting them on after
reaching 10 years Of age. They hare
fixed the year 1913 In order to give the
clerks who are approaching 70 or who
have exceeded that age q chance 20

they Will be separated from the g6v-
ernment service. ~

erst, father of the machioness. Fol
lowing is his statement of the case;
When the marriage of my daugh-
ter to Lord Townshend was in course
Of arrangement and during the dis
cussion as to the marriage settlement
an agreement was come to between
myself and the marquis in which I
agreed to procure to be advanced to
his lordship, upon adequate security,
the sum Of a27,0O0 ($135.000). to be
paid to him on certain terms. The
marquis agreed to charge his life in
terest in the Raynham estates as Sc
curity for this advancement. together
with interest at the rate of four per
cent. per annum, and with the pro-
ceeds of the advance to pay of a loan
of about G12,000 and. other debts
amounting In the aggregate. to 927,-
600. II was agreed that II the result
of the marriage is that a son be born
within a period Of IL months the
charge upon the estates should be re-
leased and the amount settled upon
Lady Townshend.
"They say l agreed to give G27,000
before ahs marriage. AS matter of
fact thero Is clause in the above
agreement which says: upon the
marriage. taking place sum OF money
to be mutually agreed upon shall be
advanced by the first party. to the
second party, which is to be regarded
as on account Of the total sum to be
advanced ana charged Ms loan" But
in case the f27.000 was not to be paid
until, as the first clause states. the
charge referred to is executed and all
prior existing charges are dealt with
satisfactorily and all necessary re
leases given These conditions have
not yet been fulfilled. SO that dis
poses OF the first story.
II will now proceed to the time OF
my daughters honeymoon on the con
tinent. At first we only had occasion
to consider the marquis conduct per
iaps a trifie eccentric, and must ad
NIT that my daughter was very as
tonished when at a simple conjurine
entertainment at Wiesbaden LORD
Townshend suddenly got up and de

and had to be taken out Of the room

that this was merely one of the mar
quis' little eccentricities, and that ht

"A short time after bis return te

him to go down to Brighton for few

meet at the marquis solicitors, in
Jermyn street in order to settle some
details as to the estates. After the
meeting l suggested that Lord Town
shend, as he had not seen his wife for
go long. should come back and have
tea. meeting bis friends by the 5:45
train to Brighton that evening. We
went to 'radium' parity md unfor-
tunately remained too lejt1 to catch
the train. The mSSgys thefeupon be-
came extremity eISs sSfxpressing in
remarkably empt,;s sspalE language his
desire to get downgot night to the
friend with whom he alad been stay
ing at Brighton. So hysterical was
he that thought he must be run
down, and becoming alarmed, sent
for DR.. Bramwell, of Wimpole street,
to give us his advice.
Shut Up in House.
DR.. Bramwell strongly advised that
Lord Townshend should not go to
Brighton that day, and consequently
Lady Townshend refused to give him
the key of the door. saying that he
had been away ten weeks, and must
stay now at his house In Brook street
with her.
1T was this event which decided me
to call In DR.. Savage the next day in
consultation with DR.. Bramwell, both
Of whom were perfect strangers to me.
And these two eminent mental special
lists came to the decision that Lord
Townshend was of an hysterical ma
ture, easily influenced, and would
consequently be better in the care of
his wife. An application, signed of
course. by a magistrate. was then
made to the commissioners In lunacy,
a reception order was signed on Febru-
ary 3. and on petition the marquis
was duly intrusted to the custody Of
his wife.
"On two occasions the lunacy COM
missioners have personally visited the
marquis and have been greatly struck
by the earnest protestations of friend
ship which Lord Townshend has made
for the friend <with whom he stayed
at Brighton. Intercepted letters were
also shown to them as an instance Of
the great attachment which his lord
ship has for the gentleman referred to.
ITO say that the marquis Is a pris-
oner in this, his own house. Is absurd.
He goes out with me and Lady Town
shend for drives and walks, and last
time I saw him (on Saturday, we took
cab to the Hotel Victoria and Carl
ton together, and, in fact. were out
Tor quite considerable time.' i.
The marquis has given several in
terviews since the order of the lun-
acy commissioners. committing him to
the custody Of his wife, and In all he
has stated quite frankly that his one
desire Is to rejoin his friend at
Brighton. He has shown hesitation
in speech, nervousness. and when the
marchioness was present has declined
to say anything. He said nothing in
sane. or. even eccentric, but his wife
says that his attachment to. the man
at Brighton amounts to a dangerous
delusion.
His mother asserverates her belief
in his complete sanity. and is workin'
heaven and earth to get him away
from the tolls OF the Suthersts. She
has appealed to the iunacy commits
sioners against the order they gave,
granting his wife custody Of him, and
the whole matter Will be fought oui
in the courts.

his disgust with certain magazine arti-
cles which represent the government
to be honeycombed with corruption
and members of the senate to be GRIM
inals who ought to be behind the bars.
The president has already established
beyond all question that he is the
sworn enemy of the CRATER, but he has
no patience with the writer's and mag
azines that would give the impression
that every other man In the public
service is a CRATER. He regards the
indiscriminate SANDER of public serv-
ants as nothing less than a crime, and
recently declared that men who would
deliberately misrepresent other men
and attack public officials without the
warrant OF facts were no better than
criminals.
IF l had to choose between thief
and liar" he said recently, II believe
would choose the thief, for you would
know where to find him, but you don't
know where to locate the liar and the
damage he can do" The president is
in the habit of comparing the writer's
OF anonymous and unfounded attacks
upon the senate and other government
bodies to the character In Bunyan's
Pilgrims Progress who welded the
muck rake. They gather all the dirt
and filth and can see none OF the good
that surrounds. They delight in be-
smirching characters and writing SEN
sational stories In order to sell their
papers and magazines. This class Of
writer's, the president declares, is do
ing more harm to the cause of eradi-
eating graft from public life than any
other force.
