No man ever assumed the high and
responsible office of the Presidency of
the United States under circumstances
as delicate and embarrassing as Chester
Allan Arthur assumed it. No man ever
challenged even from his bitterest
political enemies more unqualified &C
acknowledgement for his exhibition OF
craftsmanship, tact and wisdom. When
he left the White House, the good will
of his countrymen followed him to the
retirement of private life, and he dies
mourned by men of every party and
creed.

PENSION STATISTICS.

The annual report of the Commits
sioner on Pensions, shows that on June
goth, 1886, there were 365.7S3 persons
drawing pensions from the U. S. Gov
eminent. OF this number 1889 were
classed as survivors OF the war of 1917,
and 1897 as widows of those who
served in that war. During the fiscal
year 4o.857 new pensioners were added
to the roll, and 2,229 names restored
to it, making an aggregate OF 43,ooo
added to it during the year. The
amount paid for pensions during the
year was s6379783I.6r, the reduction
of s1,135,456.5I being due solely to
the difference in amount of "arrearages"
paid.

II is not hattery of the deceased, to
say of John Moke who died on Mon
day night that he was one OF the most
popular men of his county. Nor was
his popularity undeserved. 1t was the
result of public recognition OF his manly
qualities. In every relation of life he
was the same frank, hearty, and gener-
Gus man. He will be missed at North
East. By an active participation in
every local enterprise, he had earned an
honored name for integrity and charac-
ter. He was as loyal3o his friends, as
he was true to himself. Peace be to the
ashes of a good man departed.

by the president OF the Institute and several Of
the directo = to use this paint when the appropr-
alton was made. He was ut first disnclned TO
