''Wel, we'd better limit the subscription to

And the jealous friend getsa sheet of paper
and he writes down all the names of all the fell

I'VE want to give Jones a little present." he
says to two or three. "Will you chip inl"
'sWhy certainly. What are you going to give

And everybody cougratulates Jones on the

for the subscribers. He doesn't like to dun

kind hearted fellow who undertook to get it up

AN EPISODE OF THE WAR.
A City Presented with Bill for Rati0ns

A City Presented with Bill for Rations
Served to a Company of Soldiers.
Philadelphia Record.
A circumstance occurred in the Mayors Office
yesterday which quite dumfounded the clerks
and other attaches of the place for time. Luke
Reilly, of S31 Catharine street, handed to Major
Linton bill against the city for 1927 % It bore
the remote date, April Is 1861, and represented
the cost of meals furnished to one hundred
soldiers of the war, composing Company
A, OF the Twenty-fourth Regiment,
Pennsylvania Volunteers. The correctness of
the bill attested by John MeHugh, the
captain of the company, and DIR. Reilly himself.
The latter explained that while the company was
stationed in the third story OF building at the
southwest corner Of Twelfth and Chestnut
streets he furnished meals to the men for seven
days at the rate of Is cents meal He had
never been paid, and, as an evidence of his good
faith, referred the Mayors secretary to Com
mon Councilman Owen, who he said, was
colonel of the regiment at the time and
would remember the occurrence. Mr.. Reilly
said that during the war he was worth $75, 900,
and made no effort to collect the money. Re-
verses caIle upon him years afterward and left
him penniless, and then the idea struck him that
lie had just claim against the government for
what had become to him, in his present circum-
stances, a very considerable sum of money. He
applied to the Washington authorities. but his
bill was returned, with instructions to collect it
from the city. His claim, including interest,
amounts to over 81 900.

MARRIED ALUNATIC.
A Remarkable Case Before the Now
York Courts.
Special to the Globe

special 10 the GloDe.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1S-This morning
one of the most remarkable cases in New
York court annals came up before Supreme
Court Judge Barrett and was referred by
to him to the statutory trinity. In
it are involved some of the sad
dest and most extraordinary features ever
embodied in lunacy case. The facts as
set forth in the papers served yesterday are
these: George PancoaSt the millionaire
the founder of the Archer Pancoast Manu-
featuring company, whose contributions to
artistic metallurgy are known all over
the world, suffers greatly from a
species of rheumatism, which at times
deprives him of the use of his
limbs. He was recommended by his physi-
clan to try massage as a means Of relief.
A friend suggested the employment of a
well-knOwn boxer and trainer named
Vanderen, and he was engaged. Mr..
Paneoast has a daughter. Minnie, a girl
Of 81 years, who is a deaf mute, and,
so her relatives allege, mentally weak to
the point Of imOecility. She is'in her own
right the owner of property to the value of
$50. 900 or $50, 600. besides being entitled at
her fathers death to share of his estate
equally with her brother, Archer Pencoast.
PROTECTED By HER KIN,
it never occurred to them that any danger
to their peace of mind or her person and
property lurked in the quiet and good
looking young athlete. So far as her friends
can remember, the two never had
any opportunities to meet or have
any sign conversations during Van
deren's attendance on her father, but
that they did meet. and that by acquiring
the digital language peculiar to the deaf he
had conversed with her. appears from the
unhappy result Vanderen also acquired
an absolute influence over the girl.
Her relatives allege, and will.
so it is said. undertake to prove that he
virtually abducted her, Mr.. Kirk being an
important witness in this particular, and,
he alleges afterward married her. The
relatives in the proceedings viii attempt to

STILL A MYSTERY.
The Atlanta Corpse's Identity Not
Fully Established.

Special 10 the Globe.
ATLANTA. Ga, Feb. 1s.-lnter~st in
the Pierce case increases. Yesterday Mrs.
Pierce Of Texas, widow of j. W. Pierce,
accompanied by his daughter and son and
half-a-dozen Texans, arrived in Atlanta
To-day the party visited Westview ceme-
terry and the corpse was again exhumed.
The instant the lid was removed three men,
Messrs. NaswOrthy, LOyel and Heath of
Texas, recognized the body as that of Mr..
Pierce. When the face was exposed Mrs.
Pierce said she recognized her husband by
his features and teeth, and would know
them anywhere. Miss Pierce also said the
body was that Of her father.
THAT peculIar-shaped forehead" said Mr.
Nasworthy, lis known by hundreds of Tex
ans No man in the state was better known
than he. Why, If they were here now, there
are hundreds Of men in Texas who would
swear that Is Pierce. and that he had passed
all his life in Texas"
Mrs. Pierce said that she was married to
the deceased in 1879, and that his wealth
was considerable. Judge Mays, Pierce's
friend, positively identified the corpse, and
says he has known Pierce since 1873
and that the possibility of his
having led double life is absurd. The
hearing of the injunction restraining Mrs.
Weaver from getting possession OF tie body
has been postponed until Saturday. COun-
sci for Mrs. Weaver say that they are con-
iident of establishing their claims and will
certainly win the case.

ENCHANTING BLACK EYES.
Married People OF Rochester skip
Out Together.

Special to the Globe.
ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Feb. 1S.-Consider-
able gossip has been caused here by the re-
ported elopement of John r. Smy, a man
of family and prominent harness dealer,
with Mrs. Hiram Dunning, rather pretty
woman, of Rochester. Mrs. Smy says that
while she was visiting last July at her
Canadian home her husband boarded at
Dunning's, and thus became well acquainted
with Mrs. Dunning, who has a buxom
figure and bewiIdering black eyes. For a
short time after Mrs. Smy's return her hus-
band appeared as affectionate as usual. and
she noticed nothing unusual until several
weeks had elapsed. He then became
irritable at home, remained out late at
night and was drinking. She soon learned
that her husband was i'm the habit of meet
ing Mrs. Dunning and spending money freely
for her entertainment. Mr.. Smy and Mrs
Dunning both protested, but their efforts
were useless. Not long since Mr. Dunning
is alleged to have caught his wife and Smy
in a compromising situation, and that he
refrained from summarily harsh measures
on the promise of reform by both parties
Smy's disappearance three days ago has

simultaneous disappearance of Mrs. Dun

Very Singular Indeed.

PITTsBURG. Pa, Feb. 1s.-A singular
case of mistaken identity was developed in
the criminal court to-day. Mrs Bauers ap-
piled to the court yesterday for writ of
habeas corpus to compel Mrs. Myers and
her husband to produce the body Of four
months-old child in court Mrs Bauers
claims the child was born at the City home
and that Mrs. Myers obtained it from her
with the promise that it should be returned.
This statement was corrobOrated by the
superintendent OF the home and some
nurses. On the other hand, both Mrs. and
Mr.. Myers swore positively that the child
was theirs and had been born at their house.
They called the physician and several
neighbors, who corroborated Mrs Myers
story. The court gave the child to Mr.. and
Mrs. Myers.
