Important Pension Bill.

MIR. Willard. OF Vermont, reported

soldiers who served sixty days in the
war of 1912, and to their widows The
bill will place at least ten thousand
more pensioners on the rolls, exclusive
OF the widows, which viii also measure
ably increase the number. The bill also
differs from the one it amends, in that
1t does away with all oaths Of ALLEGIANCE
and proof OF loyalty, and to obtain the
pension it IS only necessary to prove
the service in the war OF 1912, for the
period of sixty days. The full text OF
the bill is as follows:

An Old Counterfeiter.

Patrick Kelly, over seventy years old.
who has been engaged in counterfeiting
most of his life, gave $4,000 bail il
New York recently, to answer a charge
of having counterfeit money with intent
to pass it. Some of the money was
found IN his possession, and some at
his residence, a handsome brown-stone
front on Thirtieth street. Just before
he obtained bail he attempted to COM
NIT suicide by cutting his throat, in
juring himself severely. He was ar
rested again on Tuesday by a police
man, who thought his conduct on an
uptown street-corner suspicious The
officer searched him, and found five two
dollar notes, purporting to be
issued by the Ninth National Bank,
and number of counterfeit ten-dollar
n ties, purporting to be issued by the
Farmers and Manufacturers Bank.
Poughkeepsie. Kelly admitted that lie
had notes with the intention of selling
them, saying: q got them for a
young man, and was going to show
them to him to see whether they would
suit or not He is said to have been
extensively engaged for years in selling
small quantities of counterfeit notes to
professional passers of the same being
the agent in supplying from the manu-
tactureTs. He was committed this
morning in default of $10,0 and will
probably fail to get fresh sureties.

Gladness Transformed to Gloom,

Among the passengers from Germany
in the steamer Rhein, which arrived at
the port of New York on Saturday, was
Mr. Conrad Antenriclle, seventy one
years of age and native Of Bretlen, in
the Grand Duchy of Baden With him
were three daughters They had come
to reioin his seven other children, who
had long since come to this country
and prospered. He was met by his
brother and was greatly affected with
feelings of JOY. One of his sons dwells
in Hudson City, n. j., and four sons
and two daughters reside In Newark
Arrangements were made to hold a
generous family reunion In Newark
yesterday. and III the meantime a visit
was paid to the son in Hudson City.
While there the old man became child
ish in his JOY at having his kinder once
more around him, and was unable to
restrain his feelings. Suddenly, about
two O'Clock, he startled his loving
children by exclaiming, "Have really
seen my children R" and fell back pow
erless. A doctor was sent for; but by
the time he arrived the lamp of life
had fled" The old man actually died
from over JOY. Therefore the gladness
of the Autenrielles in Newark yester-
day was turned into sad occasion of
gloom and sorrow. The body is to be
removed to Newark for interment.

THE SEVERITY OF THE WINTER.
Effect en- Nurseries and Vegetation
Gencraly-WhOlesa Destruction
Millions OF coftars I4o T..

Effect en- Nurseries and Vegetation
GencraIly-NShoIesal Destruction
Millions OF Dollars Lo (.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
The dry, heavy winds, and very light
snowfall in this neighborhood during
the past winter have had the effect OF
DESTROYING great tracts of plants, and
causing immense loss to horticultl9rists.
The most remarkable fact in this con
nection is the great number of hardy
varieties and even evergreens which
have been killed III consequence
ton. Now that the frost
has left the ground, it has been found
that from Virginia to Canada, and from
the eastern slope of the Rocky Noun
tains to the Atlantic, the evergreens are
either dead or dying. Norway spruce,
pines, arbor vitae, jumpers, rhododen-
drons, and dwarf and standard roses in
nurseries and private gardens, have
succumbed to the extreme cold wealth
er and trying winds, and millions of
dollars in the aggregate have been lost.
The Long Island and New Jersey
nufseymen have been heavy losers, and
many persons living on the Hudson
River banks find that their private gar
dens have been almost ruined Many
nurserymen on Long Island have lost
their entire stock, and the destruction
among the class of New jersey has
been nearly as great. In the latter case
it has been noticed, as peculiar effect
that plants which were shaded from the
winter sun have escaped the worst eff
fects OF the season, and may, with much
trouble, be saved.
Prospect Park and Central Park have
not been spared, and many plants which
have hitherto withstood success sfully
the ticUrs OF our cold season were
blghted. Tie destruction IN Central
Park is very great The blasted cedars
stand thick with yellow and rustling
leaves among the living verdure, and
present the only sign of decay ever
seen IN the Park. These eyesores
should be uprooted at once-but it will
be difficult to replace them with sound
trees, as the nurseries have suffered so
severely.
One hotticulturist doing business in
John street, IN this city. whose nurser-
les are at Astoria, Long Island, sus-
tanned loss of more than 5000 An
acre of jumpers and Tritoma Uvaria
Granditloras, a hardy, and one of the
most splendid of garden plants of this
climate, was swept over and utterly
ruined.
In Massachusetts, the strawberries
have also suffered terribly, and it is the
Judgment of some of the most expert
epced horticulturists that nearly one
half of the strawberry vines in New
England were killed by the severe
winter.
Many reasons are assigned for this
wholesale destruction. But the one we
cited at the outset is undoubtedly the
correct theory. By some persons it is
contended that the warm days in Feb
ruary gave the plants an early start, as
if spring had really opened, and wher
they were swelling into new life the
temperature changed again to hard
winter, freezing, with cold Marcel
winds. Others believe that vegetation
was killed early IN the season.

REV. CHARLES T.. BROOKS.
o May the changeful years Potential Mood!
Thou mayest and canst be beautiful and blande,
And smile with tenderness ineffable;
Aud thou canst also, in thy waywardness,
Be DIZZY, duh, and disaGreeable
As any little queen my schoolrocm holds.
Thou mayest and canst ripen to summer bloom,
And to the golden glow of autumn, when
The sap of May turns to the juice of must;
Thou mayest, alas and wilt, when nature toiis,
BE changed into December's iceness.
But now thou mayest, and all the world goes May

The little lads and lassies sally FORTH
To see if any flowers may chance to be
In fields where winter, lingering, chills thy lap.

May, and her little can to hold her flowers
She, too in the potential mood of life.

And some will conjnGate, and some decline:

The Orleans Family ut NersaiIIes---A

A Paris correspondent, under date of
April Odd, writes to the London Tele-
graph:
81 witnessed curious and touching
scene here yesterday. The Princes OF
the Orleans family, taking advantage
of the Chateau of Versailles being
empty, owing to the absence of the As
sembly, brought all their children
some of them little toddling things
that could hardly walk-to see the
celebrated palace, and to read in its
well-known picture galleries the
history of France and of
their own ancestors. Several of
the party-notably the Duke d 'Aumale,
the Prince de Joinville and the
Duke de Nemours-were quite young
men when they last looked at these
memorials of their country's glory, be.
fore the revolution of 1913. They are
now well past middle life, and some of
their children are young men and wo-
men although they to-day see these
pages, to which those of their name
have contributed so much, for the first
time. The party, and its reason for
coming to Versailles, formed a practi-
cal commentary upon the words of a
famous French writer: What great
nation France would now be if she had
refrained from revolution since 1916 = y

father and daughter We're even stunned
by the shock. The young lady was
sitting near the end of the house. when
the electricity came through and killed
her instantly. Mr.. Thomas was sitting,
leaning against the north side, near a
window. Two particles of the electric
fluid passed in above the window to
his head. and set his hair on tire, so
shocking him that he died in short
time, though the fire was extinguished
by his son, and water applied to him

Because am my Loves III keep my life
Washed clean of every soil i'll thought or deed;
And bear my heart with ever steadfast deed
Like shut rose, through days of dusty strife,
And keep it for my Love with sweetness rife.
Because am my Loves, III rise at dawn
And hasten to my toll, and toiling, sing,
That from my one poor talent there may SPRING
Something for my Loves eye, to smile uDen
And so make good the empty years agone-
Because am my Loves, will not die
As lovers might-to prove my fealty:
But I'll so live that, in some distant time.
My Love shall say-"Bless God, who made you
