an envelope addressed to a soldier in Massa-
chusetts You see it is marked C. o. D. So }
On it is printed the American eagle, with the
flag and the office head, Union Law Office.
You see it has printed on it the words, Pen
sions to all, and makes very prominent the
fact that the loss OF a toe entities one to a
pension. You notice that it has printed on
it very prominently the heading Increase
your pension under which the attorney
says "A pension can be increased at any time
when disability warrants it, as you grow
older. The wound has gradually under
mined the constitutions the disease has made
you more helpless in some manner; the
trouble has increased. So apply for an in
crease at once"
Now the person who received that envel-
ope had filed an application with the attor-
ney for pension, to which he is not en-
titled. He supposed when ne received that
envelope, that he was receiving his pension
certificate. When he opened the envelope,
after paying So to the express com pany, he
was astonished at finding that it was an order
from the Pension Office for him to appear
before doctor to be examined as to the
question whether he was entitled to an in
crease of pension"
"The matter will be investigated by the
grand jury?" said the reporter.
Certainly. That is my intention, When
l commenced the investigation l felt salts
fed that the law was being violated. 1

the grand jury, and 1 intend TO present it.

LECTURE ON sPIRI1UALIsNI
\ Large Audience at tho Court House
Last Night.

Last Night.
Probably the largest audience as
sembled in the city of Fort Worth last
night was that at the court house,
where Mrs. S. y. Talbert had beer an
nounced i'll yesterdays GAZETTE to
lecture on spiritualism. Whether
there are really SO many converts to
this latter-day hallucination or The ma
iority were led there through curiosity
10 see what woman could DO in the
way of lecturlng can not be said by tho
reporter. Bit the audience was eel
tainly most attentive aud respectful
one. The lecturer seemed perfectly at
ease on the IOstrum, and her words
fell trippingly from her lips Her
lecture was very comprehensive, emf
bracing all departments of knowledge,
past, present and future, but being
mainly composed ofscripture and po-
etry, whose honors were about equal,
Finally the lady sat down and n hymn
was sung, the beautiful sweet Hour
of Prayer being sacriledged for the
purpose. Mrs. Talbot then added in
II postscript reference to the subject,
speaking of the annual visits of the
spirit of her departed daughter on the
anniversary of her death, the assur-
ance always being given that she was
in heaven in tangible condition. and
that she would like to have her there
too, but she knew she had
mission here on earth, and that must
first be accomplished. One member
of the audience exhibited on her face
a radiant look rs # she was about to be
translated, and turned her eyes up
ward as il TO welcome a golden char
lot. At the conclusion of the lecture
an invitation was extended the audi
ence to ask any questions they chose,
but ghosts did not seem to be ut pre-
MUM, as there was no response. Be
fore all the audience got out, the lights
in the hall went out, and there was
scramble for the door, the invisible
appearance evidently having caused
deep impression.

Cigarettes-.-Again.

We would not speak of this subject
again to "Our Boys" if we did not notice
that the custom is still very prevalent
among the young. Don't do it, boys. Let
cigarettes alone severely. We can give you
any amount of reliable evidence that the
habit is q bad one. Not only bad for the
pocket, but bad for the health. The
British Medical Monthly gives the name of
a prominent physician who, struck with
the large number of boys under fifteen
years of age he observed smoking, was
led to inquire into the effect of the habit
upon the general health. He took for his
purpose thirty-eight, aged from nine to
fifteen, and carefully examined them. In
twenty-seven he discovered injurious traces
of the pernicious habit. In twenty-five
there were various severe disorders of the
circulation and digestion, palpitation
of the heart, and more or less taste for
strong drink. In twelve there was fire.
quent bleeding of the nose, ten had dis
turbed sleep, and twelve had slight ulcera.
ton of the mucous membrane of the
mouth, which disappeared on ceasing the
use of tobacco for some days. The doc.
tor treated them all for weakness, but
with little effect until the smoking was
discontinued, when health and strength
we're once more restored.

A Cat that Prefers Elevators.

The Tribune elevator car had started on
its upward trip last evening and the ele-
vator boy was gazing upward into its
furthest corner, evidently lost in reverie.
Presently there came distinct call in the
shape of plaintive "Miaow." The ele-
vator boy checked his car forthwith on
level with the floor whence the sound
came. There was no one to be seen and
the smallest boy would have been visible.
Going upP" asked the elevator boy.
"Maouw, miaouw |" was repeated. The
elevator boy slid open the door and gray
cat walked demurely in, sprang upon the
seat and began licking her paws until two
floors had been passed, when she uttered
another cry and sprang down before the
doorway. The car stopped, the door was
opened and Tsbby passed out. Is she
regular passenger ?" was asked. els
she p said the elevator boy. "Of course
she is. She lives in the building, she
does. She never walks up or down
stairs 'cept on Sunday, when the elevator
amt a running in front. If it's evening
she uses the back elevator" "Where is
she going now 7" /" She's jest dropping in

goes in and sits on the table and watches
him, and he gives her bit of something
to eat. In bout an hour, before my
times up, she'll come back to go to the
top floor. Mebbe she'll stop a lit
tie in the editorial rooms then she goes
up to the restaurant. She always gets
there about twelve O'Clock, when the
printers get their lunch. They all know
her. Sometimes" he added, "she sits
down in the car and keeps me company
for while. She amt any bother. She
knows how to behave herself great deal
better than some of them lawyers and
sharp chaps, who are always asking a
Teller whether he's going to get married,
and how's his girl. She goes all around
down town by herself, she does. The
other morning one of the fellows saw her
down in Fulton market. She knew him
and came up and rubbed against his legs.

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. In SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiflen and hold the engraved por-
tons in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
BILE, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case ~ MN.
which saves the WASTE of need : q
less gold, and INCREASES the soLDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

MANY live without considering the
rights of others. They spend their lives
in selfish way and think only of their
own ease and qualification. They have
no proper conception of life, and live to
no purpose. In street cars and steam cars
they endeavor to monopolize everything.
They have the facility of occupying room
for two persons, and get out of patience
when they are forced to do what is right.
They have never learned the Golden Rule;
have not even learned to be ladies or gen.
tlemen.
