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

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.
Several years ago in an effort to stop
the promiscuous use of government
teams. Uncle Sam had al! of his veI
hides marked, and that did not
I prove a success. The old practice
; continues.
The wives of cabinet members aro
entitled to the use of government ve;
hides for shopping or calling. With
the horses and carriages goes a livi

The request of Mr. Wilson, coming
j as It does from the most modest department
of the government, has
caused much comment about Washi

DUALNATl
Instances Which Outshine Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
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.

5. An even more remarkable mood.

C. A terrible mood. In which many
degeneracies were evidenced. While

wickedness.

"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

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.
