POE EXPLAINS HIS
DRINKING HABITS

NEW YORK. May i-One of the
most notable features of this weeks
sessions at the Hoe sale was an anto-
Graphcd letter of Edgar Allen Poe
which brought $500. The letter Is
dated February 20, lS4S, and has new
er before been published, II Is said.
In II Poe says In reply to the asser-
ton that his habits were shockingly
irregular:
"The fact is this: My habits are
vigorously abstemious and omit
nothing of the natural regimen for
health. | rise early. eat moderately,
drink nothing but water, and take
abundant and regular exercise In the
open air, But this is my private life
and of course escapes the eye of the
world.
"The desire for society comes upon
me only when ! have become excited
by drink, Then only | go-that Is at
these times only | have been in the
practice of going among my friends,
who seldom. or In fact never having
seen me unless excited, take It for
granted that | am always so. Those
who really know me know better"
The letter should make change In
the work of future biOgraphers OF
Poe, as II gives his own explanation
of the charge of drinking habits made
against him,

The postoiiicc Is located In the store

and he finally gained an entrance by
smashing the lock Of one OF the big
lctterboNes, through when he crawled
into the building. The space through
which he crawled IL so small that It
seems certain that the miscreant was
a boy. Nothing belonging to the post
office was tempered with, but from a
cash drawer the intruder took a dollar.
He was evidently working In the dark

GAME WARDENS

Refusal Of Auditor TO Pay Sal
aries Results IN Closing OF
Office.
FOLLOWS RULING BY STEAD
OtheT Ber@r1 Hcnts iIay 90 Same
Way Unless Legislature Quickly
Makes Appropriations.

Springfield. III, Feb. 1.-THE bu-
reau Of the state game department.
closed up shop in the s5ate house
last night and the deputy wardens
viii be cut of a Job unless they de-
sire 10 serve voluntarily At that
they probably are without legal pow
or 20 enforce any authority.
Tae closing Of the department fol-
loved the refusal of the state audit
or to honor vouchers. This action
was based on the recent opinion
handed down by Attorney General
Stead 70 The effect that the wardens
as well as hundreds o2 other state aD-
pointees were being paid their sal
cries Illegally.
Until the general assembly follows
strictly the law and the constitution
and makes provision for salaries
there viii be no legal game depart
ment in Illinois.
OTHER OFFECIGRS Nay Gloss.
Il IS the belief that several other
state departments. such as the board
Of pharmacy, state fire marshal and
state food inspection and scores of
employees in the insurance and rail-
road and warehouse committee Of
fees have no legal existence as Of
fciaIs Of Illinois. In line with the
ruling il is now deemed probable
that all Of these departments affected
viii practically cease to perform any
duties or work until the general as
sembly has legally resurrected them.
It will be necessary for the gen.
eral assembly to make specific ap-
propriations for all these Offices be-
fore they will be resuscitated. All
of which places the hundredssof Jobs
now at the disposal of Governor De
neen practically in the hands of the
appropriations committees of2the two
houses.
GETS QUICK ACTIOTE.
The trouble with all these depart
ments that are maintained by fines,
fees and such revenues is that they
have been using up all their moneys
so received without first having them
appropriated by the legislature.
c. J. Doyle, head OF the. state fire
marshals' bureau and one of the gov
errors campaign managers in 1908,
saw the blow coming, and fastened
TO get under the big umbrella. He
already has his appropriation bill
well on the way in the senate, and
hopes to get it through both houses
