Moroccan Red Tape.

Official correspondence in Morocco Is couchcd in very tlowery and fam boyant style 1t is interspersed with a variety of meaningless adulatory phrases that tend to confound the real meaning of the epistle. For example, an order to the minister of finance to contract loan begins thus:
 In our present letter God increase his power and make the glorious suu and his moon glitter tn the Armament of his felicity we have authorized our incorruptibIc servant (here follows name) to contract in the name and on the behoof of the treasury heaven fill lt) loan of -" etc.

The Great Vidoco.

sftocq, the great French detective, was born in Aras in 1775. He began life as q baker and early became the terror of his companions by his athletic frame and violent disposition. At the same time he was a notorious thief, and after many disgraceful adventures he enlisted in the army. In 1796 he re turned to Paris with some money. which, however, he soon squandered. Next he was sentenced at Lille |, eight years hard labor for forgery, hat re- peatedly escaped, and In 1908 he be- came connected with the Paris police as detective. His previous career enabled hiA a render important sery- ices, and lie vas appointed chief of the safety brl&;. ,t.. chiefly composed of re- prieved conTiets, which purged Paris of the many dangerous classes. In 1918 he received a full pardon, and his connection with this service lasted un- til about 1928, when he settled at St. Mande as paper manufacturer. Soon after the revolution of 1880 he became political detective, but with little success. In 1S4S he was again en- ployed under the republican govern mont, but he died penniless in 1857.

RETIREMENT OF WESTON
Major General Weston Placed on the
Retired List on Account of Age.
Fifty Years of Service.
CHerald Special.l


Washington, D. c., Nov. 13-Aftel
a service of nearly fifty years, Major
General John F. Weston was placed
on the retired list of the army on ac
count of age. General Weston is a
native of Kentucky and during the
civil war served in the Fourth Ken.
lucky volunteer cavalry. Following
the war he was appointed a second
lieutenant in the Seventh United
States cavalry. In 1898, at the begin
ming of the war with Spain, he was
appointed brigadier general of volun-
teers, and the next year he succeeded
General Egan as commissionary gen.
eral. For several years he has been
stationed at the Preside as com
mander of the department of Calffor-
MIA.
The retirement of General Weston
results in a number of important
transfers and promotions in the SER
vice. The vacancy in the grade of
major general has been filled by the
promotion of Brig. Gen William H.
Carter, commanding the department of
the Luzon.
Major Gen. Thomas H. Barry, who
has been on leave of absence since
his detachment from command of the
army Of Cuban pacification last April,
has been designated to succeed Gen.
Weston as commander of the depart
ment of California; Gen. Barry is
1ne of the oldest and best known of
icers of the army. He is a native of
New York and graduated from the
West Point Academy in 1877. In the
var with Spain he served as assist
mt adjutant general. He was with |
he China relief expedition in 1900 !
md subsequently served as chief of
taft of the division of the Philip
lines.

riously estimated at from $75,0O0,OOO
to $15O,0O0,0O0. Born in Philadelphia
in 1884, he received only a public
school education. His parents were
poor and after leaving school young
Widener began earning his living as a
mutton butcher in the old Spring Gar
den street market. 1t was in that
way he earned his first thousand dol
lars, and this he added to many times
over before he gave up the butcher
business.
1t may be said to Mr.. Widener's
credit that he has never been ashamed
of the fact that he started his career
as a butcher. He was a past grand
master in that trade, as he afterward
proved himself in many other lines of
business and finance And that he
remembers well how to do what he
has once done is illustrated by the
following story:
Some year sage Mr.. Widener was in
California travelling in his private car.
He thought he would himself attend
to the restocking of the larder and,
going to market, ordered some French
chops. The butcher was clumsy and
the millionaire remarked it. That net
tied the meat man, and he said:
Perhaps you could do better your
self"
Il should say could" exclaimed the
man in silk hat, boiled shirt and
white waistcoat, and taking the knife
from the astonished butcher he soon
had the chops neatly dressed.
