SECRETARY SHERMAN SURPRISED.
The Arrears of Pensions Bill seems to
have taken Secretary Sherman by surprise
1t does not meet his hearty approval for
the reason that it completely demolishes
his hope of $2S. .000,0 900 surplus for next
fiscal year. The Secretary is of the opinion
that the bill was not demanded by the pen
sioners but by claim agents who hope to
profit by it.

"NArIoNAL STocK YARDS, ILL, March S.
ITO Hon. John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury
"The special from Washington in yester-
days Chicago Tribune as to the diseased
cattle here is entirely false. The business
of fattening cattle for the East with slop
feed is not carried OH. mere at all or never in
this neighborhood. Cattle so fed in Peoria
TerreHaute or Vincennes, the nearest places
to this where the business is carried on, are
not sent to this market for sale. The cattle
received here during the past year and this

healthy, and the disease of pleuro-pneu-

DISSEMINATION AGAINST OUR PORK.
The United States Consul at Mannheim
reports to the Department of State that dis
elimination is made against pork from the
United States. A police regulation in that
district requires all pork from America to
be microscopically examined, and each
piece marked by the Inspector. This regu-
lation does not apply to any other country.

to-day that the information he received on Sutur-

The Grand Juror alluded to was Calico Dial, and
there being another person OF that naloe doing
business on Plum street, and living in CovingtOn,
it was supposed by mistake that the latter party
was the Grand Juror That matter was therefore
dropped.

For Which Let us be Thankful

WASHINGTON, July 1.-SENATE-

resolution and moved to amend by

Mr.. Window then spoke in expla-
ton of his course yesterday. He said
that his side had now exhausted all
legitimate powers conferred upon
them by the rules, in order to induce
the majority to make the necessary
appropriations for marshals, The
President had, so far as he (Windom)
knew, exhausted all the powers pos
sessed by him on the subject. He had
appealed to congress to do its duty,
and not go home without making the
necessary appropriations.
The adjournment resolution, as
amended, finally passed.
The vote was reconsidered by which
free quinine was referred yesterday to
the committee on finance and the bill
passed by a viva voce vote.
Mr.. Maxey moved to discharge the

resolution looking to further treaty

ance that it should be carefully ex.
amined.

GEORGE ". M. REYNOLDS.
Death Of a Novelist and Journalist Of
Whom the World is Well Rid.

Philadelphia Times.l
A dispatch from London announces
the death of George w. M. Reynolds.
novelist and editor of the London
Weekly Miscellany, and Reynolds
Newspaper. His first books appeared
a round forty years ago. The Youth
full Impostor" and "Pickwick Abroad
being published in 1899. Since that
date he has been a constant and very
prolific writer, turning out not only
vast quantities of Fiction. but also con-
tributed to his periodicals a steady
stream Of dicactic and critical articles
upon politics, literature and the news
of the day. His newspapers, in which
he has advocated Democratic views Of
a radical type, have had a great sue
cess, not due to their literary qualities
for they have no literary qualities
whatever-but to the fact that they
are written down to the popular level,
and have a marked tendency toward
sensationalism. His novels have been
sad rubbish loud in tone, loose and
wordy in style and constantly Dor
dering upon the unclean. Unlike
the work of his contemporaries,
Ainsworth and James, his work had
almost nothing in the way of scholar
ship-in preparation of material or in
treatment-to qualify its cOarseness
and vulgarity. 1t should be said in
simple justice that much Of the stuff
published in this country with his
name attached to it, was not his; his
name was worth money in the book
market q score or so of years ago, and
the American publishers who began
with mere piracy, were easily enough
led to add to that crime the further
crime Of forgery. 1t Is only treating
the dead author fairly to make this
statement, but had he never written
anything more than "The Mysteries of
the Court of London" he would have
enough sins of his own to answer for
without being burdened with the sins
Of other people. 1t IS not pleasant to
reflect upon the amount Of moral de-
terlOratlon among his readers for
which the writings of this man must
be held responsible; and the only sat
isfactory thought that his death sug.
gests is that, in this country at least,
for many years past the spread of edu-
cation and the generation of a higher
intellectual and moral tone has gope q
long way toward crowdipg liza hooks Ia
the wall and 80 diminishing tbsil

The Novel.

Many persons are disposed to regard
novels as comparatively modern, al
though they are among the most an.
Gent kinds of literature of which We
have preserved any trace. The novel
grows out Of, and responds to, a need
Of humanity it is eagerly sought by
all classes and races it is at once q
pleasure, a stimulant, and a distrac-
tion. Life is usually so different
from what man would have it: it SC
battles his desires and defeats his ex-
peotations, that he gladly turns from
the real to such presentation of the
ideal az the ordinary novel contains.
II is natural for the average reader Ia
identify himself or herself with the
hero or heroine, and so got a reflex
satisfaction for honors never received
and for virtues never possessed. The
novel takes us, for the time, out Of
the aridness of our own existence aud
puts US in imaginary and very pleas.
ant relations with persons and things
fashioned after our wishes and our
fancies. No wonder the novel Is
popular no wonder it has appealed to
all ages in all zones.

ffeshing season Of Il. On one o theso
occasions when, as usual, orders had
been given to admit nobody, a card
was brought up. Lincoln rebuked the
servant for the unwelcome interfer-
ence, and then looking at the card,
said: Well, Dan, there's no help for
it; We must let him in. He's a big
bug from Massachusetts,, and it won't
do TO deny him now that he's sent his
name, But you stay, and I'll soon get
rid of him"
Accordingly in a few minutes a
genuine representative of the highest
responsibility of Boston made his APP
pearance, and, saluting the President
with profound dignity, announced
himself as a committee appointed to
present a set of resolutions lately
passed at a large Republican meeting
in his State. These resolutions, as
Lincoln knew, embodied a rather Sc
we're criticism Of administration pol
ICY, at that time too mild to suit the
Massachusetts, stalwarts. Listening
attentiyely to the preliminary remarks
of the Boston gentleman, he took the
paper but without making any reply
to the contents or the comments, said:
beg pardon, MI. -; but before we
proceed further, let me introduce to
you my particular friend, Mr.. Dan
Rice"
Dan stood up and delivered his best
bow, but the committee was struck
dumb with amazement and indigna-
ton. To be introduced to a circus
clown by the President of the United
States was too much for him. He grew
red in the face, stared first at one and
then at the other, and at last manag-
ing to stammer out a few words Of
le~ave-taking, departed in haste. AS
the door closed upon him. Lincoln
turned to Rice with a hearty laugh, and
said; Dan, wasn't that we'll done?
Didn't it take the wind out of him
nicely? Dan admitted that it was a
perfect success, and the interrupted
conversation was resumed with re-
newed zest.
This anecdote-the authenticity of
which is unimpeachable-ough to put
Dan Rice's loyalty far beyond all sus-
picion, and he san afford to defy Re-
publican malice now, henceforth and
forever.
