Public Printer Charles \, stllings has

This should occasion but small wonder
however. The odd Audit System, which

This Is a tale % desks. Some time dur
ing 1901 an eventful year in the history
Of the Government Printing Office, dur
ing which the Public Printer alleged that
he was to lower expenses about $500. OO0
he felt the need of new desks. Possibly
these articles of furniture were TO be
used for the odd Audit System. possibly
for some of Mr.. Stillings' $46S, zoe executive
force. or possibly in some other way
Outsiders Let Int
This time, Mr.. Stillings, or some Of his
employes-every one who works down in
the Government Printing Office is an en-
ploye of Charles a. StiIlings as we'll as
an employee of the government-decided
they would permit some other bidders

IL was a most Iamentable Try, neverthe-
less, One outside firm, which shall not
be named. bid under l,S00 for the desks
1t is not known just how many other
firms may have offered proposals, but
It Is known the contract was given to The
Audit System for about S1,s25.
Mr. Stillings has already said he has
made contracts for supplies with The
Audit System He has told one firm he

But did he ever account for contracts TO

It was the unanimous opinion Of the
former reetors Of All Saints Church, st.
Mary County. who met at the bishop
! house Saturday, January II, to consider
the question Of the future site of the
parish church. that the rebuilding of the
old church IS inadvisable, because Of it's
being so inconvenient of access. It was
moreover felt that it would be equally
inadvisable for the same reason to erect
a church on the rectory lot, with the ad-
ditional disadvantage there of having
swampy conditions to contend with.
Another site was therefore selected for
recommendation to the vestry. easily ac-
cessible and in line with the present de-
velopment of the population, site, too,
which possesses this great advantage,
that should there be some day a reincor-
poTation of All Saints Parish into the
original King and Queen parish. it would
be the most satisfactory location OF any,
both for church and rectory.
