Whatever future benefits will have been

ing the fact that the results have been
most disastrous to the laborers engaged
directly in the strike. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been lost to

A MAN is said to have recently asked
another how he could cure his wife of
the habit of exaggeration. "Gct her to
talk about her ager" was the brutal re
Spouse. But it seems that even this is
not always cure. An old lady at Will
ton. Connecticut, has passed her 103d
year. She is bright and sensible, except
for a singular delusion about her age.
She kept the record straight until she
became 1C2, when she insisted that she
was 200 years old, though she admitted
that the last 100 years didn't seem near
ly as long as the first 100. Since her
last birthday she has called herself 800
years old. The old lady recently said
to her grandson: 81 feel sorry for the
sexton, because if do not die soon he
may have to ring 400 times" How
ever up to the 103 years the plan may
work.

reached Yap, one Of the Islands, on the 21st

TIE Lansing Republican says very
pertinently: 1t is claimed that the
state board of pardons has adopted un-
necessary and arbitrary rules by which
the average cost of applying for par
don will be about $500. This would
shut out about 80 out OF every 100 pris-
oners from applying. The real object
of the law was to provide a means for
carefully examining every application,
But not to make pardons practically
impossible. There should be common
sense used by the members of this
board, and only such papers required
in each case Us are material in consider
ing the questions raised by the applica-
ton for pardon. That is all that the
law intended, perhaps that is all the
board has ever required, If it is, wei
and good; il it is not, the sooner they
retrace their steps and back out of En-
ror, the better. Certainly no legisla-
tor had any intention of discriminating
against poor prisoners whea the meas
ure was under consideration.

GENERAL NOTES.

A BILL will probably be introduced
in next Congress to take steps for the
preservation of Washington's head
quarters at Valley Forge, which, it is
said, is fast falling into decay, and will
without care soon disappear. The
house occupied by Washington as head
quarters still stands, although a
hundred years have passed since that
terrible winter in which Washington
and his suffering army spent months of
untold suffering there. Although some
additions have been made to the build
ing, the original part, which was occu
pied by General and Mrs. Washington,
has not been altered. A little wooden
porch projects over the front door,
through which the visitor passes into a
narrow corridor, on the right of which
are two rooms That in front is now
used as a parlor; that in t. g rear was
the Generals office A few trophies,
rusty cennon balls, and hatchets, and
uncomfortable old chairs and lounge,
are shown. But what chiefly strikes
the visitor is the shameful neglect that
is everywhere apparent. The small
garden in front of the house is over
grown with rank and unseemly weeds,
The rooms themselves are dirty aud i'll
kept A view from the window in the
back room discloses weeds even taller,
swarms of irreverent hickens, slovenly
household utensils, and clothes line
on which struggled the last week wash.
No one would suppose that this was
the place once hallowed by the greatest
of Americans. A very earnest call IS
being made for its preservation, and it
sprobable that moderate sum may
be asked of Congress for this purpose.
