CLERKS OPPOSE
JOB SWITCH

Opposition to the proposal of
the General Accounting Office to
place some of its permanent en-
ployes in higher grade positions
in emergency activities of the
G. A. o. was expressed today by
the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees.
Investigation, according to
President E. Claude Babcock, of
the federation, gives no assurance
that the employees will be re-
stored to their old positions when
the emergency ends.
The average salary increase for
the employees will be about $120
a year. The G. A. o. explains
that it is it's policy to promote it's
own employees wherever possible.
The federation's objection is
based on the fact that the emer"
gency work may end June 80,
1896, unless there are further ap-
preparations, and there S houl d
then be provision for restoration
of the employees to their former
positions.

'Ghost Dog of Rose Hill''
Barks and Bays Again

where first as much courted
Confederate belle and later as a
faithful daughter of the Old
South, she once reigned.
Thomas L. Barbour, a lifelong
resident of Port Tobacco, recalls
Miss Olivia:
81 used to visit Rose Hill as
a lad to listen to her tales of
the Blue Dog. And to eat the
cookies for which her cook was
famous. The other boys were
afraid, but 1 was sort of friend
ly with Miss Olivia and she
didn't scare me-"
Mr.. Barbour diSclaims any faith
in the Blue Dog legend or the
stories of Miss Olivia'S ghost.
"ShuckS-She was just a little
old lady who had lost every
thing she held dear. But she
did have some sort of power
I don't know just how to ex-
plain it. But she said she saw
THINGS, and / don't know"
Miss Olivia's ghost is said tc
have been seen near the fireplace
in the drawing room of the
mansion. During her career as a
spy she is alleged to have hidden
an important communication in
the ball of one of the old andirons
Suspected, her house was thor
oughly ransacked by Yankee
troops, but the message never
was discovered.
Road Deserted Now
Although the Port Tobaccans
pooh-pooh stories that the Blue
Dog again is holding his nightly
vigils on the famous rock, the
road to Rose Hill is now prac
tically deserted. Villagers are
finding it easier to take the
road through the woods"
CuriouSly enough, they say
within the past few months a
number of stray dogs have shown
up at Rose Hill.
And one, a shy brute somewhat
resembling a German shepherd
is a deep grayiSh blue.

BABCOCK LAUDS
NEWSPAPERS

Newspapers of the United States
tend in general to uphold the civil
service system, E. Claude Babcock,
of the American Federation Of
Government Employees, said last
night in a talk over Station WRC.
Occasionally some of the press
has been unfair in Jumping civil
service and spoilsmen together,
but on the clear question of choice
between the two, said Mr.. Bah
cock:
"The press is 100 per cent
right"
He cited an editorial from the
Grand Rapids (Mich0 Press, in
which attempts to undermine the
merit system in Government SER
vice are severely criticized.
Able and conscientious men and
women nowadays must take jobs
where they can find them, and,
although it is distasteful to line
up political influence, some have
had to do so, he said. Neverthe-
less, run-of-the-mine political en-
ployes are not as efficient as the
experienced merit system workers,
Mr.. Babcock commented.

By RILLA SCHROEDER

The Blue Dog of Port Tobacco
has been heard again.
After nearly a quarter of a CEN
tury of silence, the famous ghost
dog of Rose Hill, home of DR.. Gus
tavus Brown, physician to General
Washington, again is giving
tongue.
Natives of Port Tobacco recall
that his ghostly barking was heard
by their parents. It has been a
favorite stunt for country Swains
to visit the ghost rock and cry to
invoke the phantom. But for Is
years no one has heard him or
caught a glimpse of his spectral
shape.
Legend a Century Old
The legend of the Blue Dog is a
favorite one in Charles county.
Old-timers like to recall the tale
of the murdered peddler and his
faithful dog. According to the
yarn, the peddler, some time about
1880, visited Port Tobacco, then a
thriving shipping center, and idly
boasted of his wealth. Warned
that he was in danger, he hid his
treasure and, presumably, was on
his way to Rose Hill, the manor
house of the vicinity, to gain shell
ter when he was set upon by rob-
berS and his brains crushed out on
the famous rock.
His dog escaped and for days
wandered around the woods in
search of his master. He finally
disappeared but, the story goes,
reappears at intervals on the
rock.
Treasure Still Waits
He is credited with knowing the
hiding place of the treasure and,
the legend says, whoever is brave
enough to follow him will be re-
warded by the gold.
The last person actually to have
seen him, it is said, was Miss
Olivia Floyd, the last mistress of
Rose Hill. Miss Olivia herself was
believed by Port Tobacco to be a
witch. She actually was a Con-
federate spy, the connecting link
between the rebel spy system in
Virginia and Maryland.
Since her death, Rose Hill, one
of the most beautiful of Charles
county'S Colonial mansions, has
fallen into decay. Its matchless
box gardens and crumbling walls
alone are standing to testify to
its past glories.
Her Ghost Still There
Miss Olivia, in the Is years
since her death, has herself grown
into a village legend. Her frail
ghost is said to haunt the halls
