w . peS?[ ^ fWSwS 9^ms| Autos for the Cabinet a WASHINGTON.?The requisition of Secretary of Labor William it. Wilson for three automobiles, two for personal and one for departmental use, has brought up the subject of the private use of government coni veyances. The demand for automobiles **' by the secretary of labor is based on ? the claim that "it is just as cheap now to purchase, maintain ami operate a motorcar as it is a horse and wagon or buggy." The government provides four or five automobiles for the president, oue for the vice-president, one for the speaker of the bouse and one for the public printer, and carriages and horses for the members of the cabinet and their assistants. Cabinet members have two-liorso cariages and their assistants single horse coupes. The White House cars cost from 44,500 to $G,000. Ex-Speaker Joseph G. Cannon rode in a large, handsome 46,000 car. but Speaker Champ Clark has declined to use' an automobile Cabinet Officers Are Pc UC OMK of the members of the cabJ inet hdve solved the problem of reducing the cost of living to figures within their Incomes," said Col.

Every year, when the appropriation bills come in, there is an extended de' bate over the "misuse" of the government vehicles, by army ajui navy officers and others connected with the various departments. It is annually charged that government automobiles and horses and carriages and army mules are used for private calls, it is I alleged that army officers and others 1 attend social functions at Mie expense 1 of the government. Sometimes, when 1 there is a dance at one oi.' the big hotels, visitors from Fort Myer come over in a wagon behind army mules.

Account of One Woman Who Hart a* Many as Ten Personalities?English Doctor's Theory?Many Strange Hallucinations. London.?Dr. Joky 11 and Mr. Hyde must look to their laurels. Hritlsh scientists have uncovered Instances of human beings who possessed as I many as ten different personalities. J One in particular could change her mood every hour in the day. A remarkable example is that of William Sharp, who shook off ids male mental characteristics and became a woman in heart and mind. Sharp when a youth ran away and joined a band of gypsies. When lie returned to society he took up literature and decided he wanted to become a poet, lie found he could not portray his Ideals while plain William Sharp. lie would sit down, take upon himself a feminine tone and write books as Fiona Macleod. He used to say he could write out ! of his heart in a way he could not do as William Sharp. Fiona always ; was spoken of as a separate person, and he even wrote letters to her. There was a real difference in the | literary style, and even in the hand- ! writing. Another case was that of a Miss i Jleauchamu who had what is deserlb ed as a multiple personality. It was recorded of her that she could change i her personality hour by hour. In one | of her characters she was described as a saint, very prim and rigidly con| scientlous. quite Incapable of dishonesty. In another character she relaxed somewhat, and in the third personality sho was known as Sally, chiefly because of her mischievous, , troublesome and nasty behavior. Miss Reauchamp, like most women, | disliked spiders Intensely, but It was astonishing to find that her third personality, Sally, loved them and col' lected them In her trinket box. Often > she would scream on discovering the very spider she had so carefully placed In the trinket box herself. Sally would write letters to people - to whom .Miss Reauchamp would not speak. In this way sho found herself i in for appointments with persons she I . would not think of meeting as Miss j Reauchamp. It was easy to see which character was in possession by the way she walked, by the clothes she wore and by tho manner in which she shook hands. Again thero was the case of the Itev. Ansel Raughan, who awoke one day to find himself living under the name of Rrown a long way from his home. He had wandered there and had been living there for two months, i keeping a shop. These extraordinary cases of dual l>*-im-iimiuy urn fcnimeu uy mis cane: This woman evidenced the possession of no fewer than ten different person- , alities. one of which was, of course. ' her normal self. Her abnormal states were: ' 1 A childish mood. In which she referred to herself as a thing, or a 1 good thing, even signing letters In I this fashion. | 2 A passionate mood. In which she 1 became intensely Irate, and even went j so far as to bite her clothes. This personality was very much better edu- \ ' i rated than that of the thing, arid the 1 i letters written by her while under I its influence were In a vastly different J | handwriting. During this mood she ' ! referred to herself as Old Nick. ^ 1 3. Every now and again the pa ftent became deaf and dumb.

Always her transition from this mood would be to that of the pood thinp. but frequently she would be a deaf mute for days at a time. 4 A mood In which sho Imagined herself only three days old. 5. An even more remarkable mood. In which she thought that she had been horn only the night before. C. A terrible mood. In which many degeneracies were evidenced. While under this control she invariably referred to herself as "t! - dreadful wicked creature," and gloried in her wickedness. 7.

"Jim" Crowley of the Central Park icn&gerie has managed it. however, nd now he is about the proudest -ainer in the world, because he can ive daily exhlbltolns with Caliph 11., le son of Miss Murphy. Caliph II. is nearly eight years old nd is already larger than his mother, lo is also better natured and haB roved that by being born in captivity e has asnlmlluted a lot of civilization, oclllty and intelligence. Crowley, however, is the only man 1 the employ of the park department rho has the nerve to show what the ig river horse can do and he has no f*ar of any one ever trying to take is place as ringmaster with Caliph I. First the keeper started to teach aliph to play tag. This was the best ver. and the animal enjoys the game very day. Ho chases Crowley around he cage, out of doors, until his nose luches the keeper, and when Crowley i "It" he tries to get out of his way. The only way Caliph can evade the ecpcr is to dive Into the big tank i the outdoor cage, where he is now uartered with Miss Murphy. Then Let His Keeper Get on His Back. le will swim within t'nreo feet of the ;dge of the pool and keep Just out of he reach of his keeper's arm and roar vith delight when Crowley tries to ouch him. Caliph is now so tame that Crowley :an put his head in the hippopotamus' nouth. and Caliph will close it just ar enough to have his jaws touch the rnck of the man's neck, but he never las even scratched the keeper's neck. In the morning the children are waiting at the rail to watch for Crowoy's appearance and in the afternoon he grown ups are with them when It s time for the keeper to appear with he hay for Miss Murphy and her son, ind at the same time to give Caliph lis daily lesson. Many circus men lave tried to buy Caliph, as a result if his high school training, but ho is lot for salo. About two years ago Crowley be?an Caliph's lessons. He was an apt pupil and It was not more than a month before the animal would let lis keeper pet on his back and ride iround the cage inside the lion house. Miss Murphy would never allow this. I'lvery time the keepers tried to use icr as a steed she would dlvo into the Lank. Some of the men had a few plunges with her and after a while the attempts to train her were aban1oned. Caliph, though, seemed to enjoy his tuition Not only did he like to have Crowley sit on his shoulders, but he ilso enjoyed running around the cage tnd would grunt and roar when Crowley dismounted. Next Crowley started to teach Caliph to sing. Miss Murphy enjoyed this nnd would watch with pride when the keeper opened her son's mouth about five feet so that Ills bass notes could come out with run resonance. irowiey hmll has to hold the animal's mouth open when ho wants him to sing his "Song of the Nile," which Miss Murphy nided in teaching him.
