KVHUH Hold n $,000,000 Pension
Ir licit.
Washington, D. C, Sept. 18.
Penbion Commissioner Evans admitb
Hint theie is likely to be a tU licit of
0,000,000 in tho Tension Depart
ment for 1897. Cut be says it with
equanimity, Evans says:
"Although the expenditures for
pensions will be greater than the
appropriations, thereby necessitating
a deficiency appropriation for their
payment, I do not anticipate any
deficit in the revenues of tin Gov
ernment this year.
I estimate that tin total pay
ments for the year will not exceed
$247,500,000. That is not an appall
ing excess by any means, the appro
priation for tbe year being $111,
2fi3 880."
''How is tbe iocrease of the year
accounted fort"
''Well, while I have no psyecho
logical communication with the eld
soldiers to determine what moved
them in tbe matter. I think same
of tbe boys bad baen holding off
under tbe last administration from
applying for pensions, concluding
that they would rather try their
chances of getting their applications
granted with a republican adminis
tration.
"More than that, however, I believe
that thousands of applications were
the result of the bard Units, through
which the country had been passing
and now, happily, over."
The preps and public of different
cities seem to agree as t o tbe artistic
merit of the performance of W. S
Hart, who appears here next week.
The Burlington Gazette c f Sept. 4th
sayp:
'W. 8. 1UKT COMPANY PRODUCED "lADY

Words cf praise from tbof c who
attended the ''Man in tbe Iron Mask

night with a considerably larger
audience of the now enthusiastic
admirers of Mr. W. S. Hart in the
production of "La3y of Lyons."
Mr. Uart essayed tbe difficult bat
to him eminently fitting role of
Claude Melcotte. He gave a very
clever interpretation of the part, and
the fine emotions given tho character
were brought out by Mr. Hart with
the skilKulnens of the unwind actor.

were aho well up in their parts.'"

The Situation Is Greatly Improved at
New Orleans.
BAGGAGE TO BE INSPECTED.
The MUalMlppI Hoard of Health Quaran
tine All Mall A Yellow Fever tM
Taken to the Marine Hoopital
at hi. Lou in.
New Oiii.kans, Sept. 21. The local
fever bituation was greatly improved
tliis morning by a materially lower
temperature, the thermometer at six
o'clock beinjf 62. Incubation of yellow
fever germs requires a sustained Fah
renheit temperature of 70, and if the
present cool spell continues, conditions
promise steadily to grow better.
While IS cases were reported yesterday
only one of these was of anything but
a mild type, the exception being an
unacclimated stranger. There were
no new eases reported this morning.
Dr. Joseph Holt, ex-president of the
health board, informed Dr. Olliphant
yesterday that nine cases had de
veloped in his practice since k nday.
The houses where the cases were re
ported were disinfected and guards
were thrown about them, but it was
feared that these measures had been
taken too late to prevent the spread of
the infection. Four cases were in a
fashionable boarding house. When an
attempt was made to examine the cases
Dr. Holt objected on the ground that he
himself was an export and that further
diagnosis would be superfluous. His
attitude caused much criticism, as he
is the author of the ordinance under
which a physician who obstructs in
spection during a scare like the pres
ent is liable to fine and imprisonment.
Some members of the board favored
immediate prosecution of Dr. Holt,
but it was finally decided to sun:mon
him before the board for an explana
tion. The board has decided to appeal to
Gov. Foster for $25,000 from the sur
plus fund. The government put in ef
fect this morning its baggage inspec
tion at trains and steamboats. It will
require at least five hours each day in
which to do this work and railroads
have issued notices to outgoing passen
gers to have all their baggage at de
pots and landings at least five hours
before the departure of their trains
and steamboats.
A I.I. MAILS QUARANTINED.
Washington, Sept. 21. The post
office department has been informed
that the Mississippi board of health
has quarantined all mails, whether
fumigated or not, from the infected
portions of that state, and Surgeon
(ieneral Wyman will try to have the
quarantine on disinfected mails raised.
A CASE AT ST. I.OUIS
St. Louis, Sept. 21. William Trift,
aged 30, employed on the government
tug boat Alpha from Cairo, 111., was
taken to the Marine hospital here to

Cairo.
MISSOURI'S CltKDlT GOOD.
Kew York Capitalist Offer to Fund the
Kntlre State Debt at Three I'er Cent.
Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 21. New
York capitalists have made a proposi
tion to fund the entire debt of the
state of Missouri in bonds bearing
three per cent, interest. Surely this
is one of the significant signs of the
times. The proposition is now before
Gov. Stephens. It was presented to
him in Kew York city a few days ago,
coming without inquiry or solicitation
on his part. The bonded indebtedness
of the state is $4,900,000. It bears 3&
per cent., which has until now been
considered remarkably low. Speaking
of this matter Gov. Stephens said:
The position is certainly very fluttering to
the state. Acceptance would save us one-half
ot one per cent, on our interest account (about
25,000 annually at the present indebtedness),
but I am not sure that it will be wise to make
the change. We should, probablv, have to
make the new bonds run a stipulated time.
The bonds, as they now stand, can be called in
and paid at any time, thus saving the whole in
terest We shall within 00 days take up at
least tl.'O.OOU. and possibly J2(X,00() or these
bonds.

RIPE HOGS.
Information Jrry Rk Obtained!
from n Western Farmer.
Gov. Kusk happened to drive over the
state line once into Wisconsin looking
at the farms. lie was particularly
struck with. one. farm, on which,
found everything1 in lirst-class order,
and ridincr up to the house inquired the
name of the owner, when a tall German
came out and g-ave his name as Theo
dore Louis.
"What do vou regard as the greatest
wealth-producing' agency in agricul
ture?" the governor asked him.
"The hoe:," was the sententious re
ply. "Upon what do you base this state
ment?" 'lle lifts more mortgages than any
thing else."
The conversation which ensued de
veloped the fact that Louis had once
been what is called an all-wheat farmer
and kept constantly sinking into debt.
Ho decided that something had to be
done quickly or there would he very
little left for Louis, so lie decided to try
ihe hog. The first year he made a lit
tle money, the second year he ruaue
more, and then he became thoroughly
'interested. The result was that he
became recognized as a great authority j
on hogs. His neighbors took up lxis j
example and mortgages began to be
lifted, until finally there was not one
on record against that community.
"How long would you keep a hog?"
as Gov. Ilnsk.
"I would not keep him I would kill
him."
"When?"
"When he is ripe."
"When is he ripe?"
"When he is fat."
"Wouldn't it pay to keep the hog for
two or three years?"
"I tried that or.ee." said Louis. "I
took a hog in the fall and weighed him,
and I took my corn and weighed it.
When spring came the corn was all
gone and the hog weighed about what
he did in the fall. That made me say
next year that I would kill .my hogs in
the fall and save my corn."
"How much does it cost to keep a
hog through the winter?"
"Three dollars."
"How many hogs winter in Minne
sota?" "One million. I have just looked at
the auditor's report."
"Do you mean to say that we lose
53,000.000 a year in wintering our
hogs?"
"Yes, that's what you do. If you
kill them all in the fall you will have
left in your cribs $3,000,000 worth of
corn to sell." Atlanta Constitution.
COINING RUPEES IN INDIA.
Natives Are C.oItik from Place to Place
IJoliiK a Mint'a Work.
A British army officer just returned
from India told me the other day a cu
rious story which should be edifying
to all currency reformers. He had ac
cumulated during his service, there a
considerable quantity of old silver
which possessed only an ordinary bar
value. He did not want to encounter
the bother and expense of bringing the
metal to England, and so, as he ex
pressed it, he "sent it to a native to be
coined into rupees."
"But the Indian mints have been
iihut down for years," I interrupted iu
some surprise.
"Oh, yes." he assented, with a pecul
iar look, "hut you know the rupee is
coined just as freely in India, to-day
as it was before the government closed
the mints."
Seeing that I wes puzzled, he gave
ine without the slightest emToarrass
ment this extraordinary explanation:
"Even when the mints were open
more rupees were coined by private
coiners than by the government. The
savings of the natives are made in sil
ver brae-elcts, rings and other orna
ments. When it became necessary for
them to turn a part, of their resources
into money they did it by employing a
native coiner to turn the metal into
rupees. It is a country of vast dis
tances, and the natives could not eend
their ornaments to a government mint
perhaps 1,000 miles away. The native
coiner traveled from place to plnceand
hut to hut, just like a country tinker,
lie was glad to work all day turning sil
ver bangles into rupees, weight for
weight, for perhaps one rupee as his
reward. And very good rupees they
turned out, too. They are current
everywhere, and nobody questions
them. Of course the practice is ille
gitimate, and when the mints were
first closed ihe government tried to
put a stop to it, hut net with, much suc
cess. Now it is winked at by the au
thorities, for the situation in India to
day is too threatening for any interfer
ence w hich is not absolutely necessary.

Wires a Protection A:rai2)t I.tRbf nln?.
People living in cities ore prone to
bf iieve that, the increasing number of
telephone, telegraph end trolley wires
increase the danger from electric
storms. On the contrary, the maze
cf wires i a protection, end lessens the
danger, since it is shown that where
the wires attract the electricity they
held it. and discharge it only at the
end of the wires ia the central station.
The fact is that cf the 200 lightning
cecidents every year only an average
of 40 oc-c-ur in the cities. The trees ia
the country are a far greater danger;
they account for the proportion cf four
cases in the country to one in the eitr.
