low poured out his wrath on Bells head because

Bell bowed his head in grief and shame while

But the die was cast Mr. Bell faltered in his

had stood by him all the years Of his manhood.
The effect of the rebuke of Bell by Parson
Brownlow and the friends who were with him
was manifested the next day when Mr.. Bell
came to speak. But the speech was altogether
unsatisfactory to the Secessonists and Union
lists, because he declared neither for the Union

DETROIT Mich, Nov. 2l-The announcement
of the possible withdrawal of the Detroit Base
ball Club from the League and its admission to
the Association has caused sensation in base
ball circles in this city. Members of the De-
troit board of directors are practically unani-
nous in denunciation of the recent action at the
Chicago League meeting in adopting the guaran-
tee system. 1t is said that this will cause loss
to the local team, since their expenses while

Compelled to Refund to the Treasury Money
They Had Not Earned.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 90 20--Government employees
often have a good deal of the spice of life. just
now a number of them in the departments think
they are having great deal of it. Last spring
twenty-five or thirty clerks drawing $l20 a
month in one of the departments were informed
that their services would not be required. The
vacancies were to be filed by clerks of the $100
a-month class, and about six months elapsed be-
fore the new appointees were decided upon. Six
weeks ago the appointments were made, and the
head of the department decided that the new
appointees should receive the increase the old
ones received from the time of their dismesals
to the date of the appointments The fig
ures threw about $50 back pay into each ones
pocket.
The clerks smiled over drawing pay for the in
terim in which no served. Being easily
earned it was quickly and incautiously spent
But day of reckoning came The Comptroller,
few days ago, decided that this money did not
belong to the new clerks, and that it must be re-
turned, whereupon. last payday, they found
upon opening their envelopes note instead of
their half-months pay, and it announced that
the $50 would have to be refunded. The
complaints were much more loud and bitter than
the congratulations were CHEEKY when the extra
pay was received The clerks regard the incl
dent as great hardship
1t is very probable, however, that the recent
change of administration will work great good TO
the hold-over employees, in that it has impressed
them with the necessity of laying by for rainy
day, and has installed economical habits Under
the old regime there was a feeling of security
among the clerks which bred the most lavish ex-
travagances and few got ahead enough to take
them to their old homes when they were dis
oharpnd

MAGNETISM OF MONEY.

ThronGs of Curious People who Watch the
Cash Handlers at the Treasury.
Special to tho Indianapolis Journal,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-'It's strange what q
craze there is among the people to see money"
said Treasury clerk to your correspondent
Strangers TO Washington are the most eager, as
rule to visit our department and stand around
the cash room and look at the money If It were
not for the cast-iron rule forbiddng visits to the
vaults, it would require clerk at the Treasurers
Office to do nothing but attend to applications of
those who want to see the money. They seem to
have no limit to their curiosity in this respect.
Why, the great bulk Of humanity would rather
stand and gaze upon a few wagon loads of money
than see circus.
''Wel do l remember the scenes we used to
have in the northwestern part of the building on
the first floor where the currency is cut counted
and put into packs, and where the old currency
and stamps for cancellation are summed
up There used to be open iron
bar screens before the doors and
corridor windows, SO that passersby could look
into the work of counting and handling the
money and revenue stamps although they could
not enter the rooms. People used to come along
there-good-look wel-dressed and evidently
educated and intelligent men and women, but
evidently unused to seeing large quantities OF
money-and stand and look in for hours. They
would look and look till we wondered if they
would not faint. When noon came, if it was in
the morning that the crowd of visitors appeared
they would patiently wait till we were through
with lunch, then take up ther places and con-
tinue to watch the money till they appeared to
grow stoop-shoudered. Their curiosity could
not be appeased Finally curtains were put up.
so none could look into the rooms, as the money
seers became nuisance"

Session of the Fiftieth Congress.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 AS intmated in these
dispatches few days ago. strong effort will be
made by representative labor men to secure an
extra session OF the Fistieth Congress- immedi-
ately after the expiration of this Congress. on
March 4, next to consider questions affecting Ia
Dor. Petitions are being circulated among the
laborlng men of the country, calling upon the
President for an extra session, and it is UNDER
stood that the labor advocates in Congress will
champion it. The extra session, it is proposed,
shall be devoted exclusively to labor questions
While the President recognizes as fully as any
one the potency of the labor influence, and de-
sires to do it full justice, it is said he does not
relish the idea of an extra session. and that
there is very little Likelihood of his calling one
