WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.-The collector OF
customs for the port Of GEORGETOWN has been
directed by Secretary Manning TO admit free
Of duty all models TO be used In connection
with the proposed statue OF Gen. Robert f.
Lee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.-At 12 o'c'ock to-
night the guards will be withdrawn from the
tomb Of General Grant In Riverside Park, New
Yorh, and from the resting place OF ex Pre- ST.
dent Garfield in Cleveland. The guard at the
~latter's tomb has been on duty since the date
Of i%nterment, for the reason that President
Arthur did not care TO give orders for It's re-
movai. He felt that he was in a delicate posi-
ton, and that army orders upon the subject
were liable TO be miscenstrued. Hence the
tramp OF the watch has continued month after
month. A few weeks ago, however, Secretary
Endicott, In issuing the order relative to the
removal of the guard at the Grant tomb on
December 3lst, had his attention directed TO
the guard at Cleveland, and included T. In the
order.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 31.-Prof. r. T..
Greener, the secretary Of the New York com
mit.cc, which Is epdeavoring to raise half a
million dollars for a monument p he memory
OF Gen. Grant, spent the Christmas holidays
in this city with his family. To your CORE
spopdent he said to-day: "The outlook for q
wo,thy monument is decid dly good. We do
not expect to raise u million dollars, but we
shall get enough 10 erect something that will
be a credit alike to th- city aud nation"
"Iiow IS 1t that the wealthy men whose
names appear on the list OF starters OF the
project do not appear among the contribu-
tore z"
ut would he unwise to get al the h.s con-
tributors first. After we have projected the
plans and have collected all we can In small
sums 1t will be time enough to ask the big fish
for their contributions"
"How much have you nova"
'About siO6. coo was the amount collected
when | left New York"
"What do you expect to getl'
"Oh, $500, 900 would be a very satisfactory
amount"
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Two hundred and

DIVISION " ADMISSION.
st. Paul dispatch: Hon. John b. Raymond
came In from South Dakota Monday, and left
IN the evening for the north. He said, In re-
ply to questions, that Re had found some d.
vision OF opinion In south W j central Dakota
as to the division and admission. The fear
was expressed hat IL the southern plan for
statehood was urged, the Democratic House
would spring division on the line Of the Mis-
souri, river, dividing the territory on a north
end south instead OF an cast and west line.
Division MIR. Raymond thought desirable, Us
Ii would give the northwest stronger repre-
sentation In the Senate He cCmbated the
position taken by a well known st. Paul
lawyer, who was present, In favor OF the
admission OF the territory as a whole, a
position supported by the lawyer on the ground
that large states, like New York WELD more
influence III national conventions and In Con-
gress than small ones. Mr.. Raymond argued
that a large state Ike Dakota, If admitted AS a
whole, would be n judicious, separated al is
that territory by wide stretches OF country re-
mote from each other by extreme border lines,
lacking as IL does IN north and south LIKES OF
railways, except on n part OF the extreme east
ern line. Asked IL he believed that Dakota
statehood, on any terms, would be provided
for by Congress, Mr.. Raymond said be thought
not, unless some Demo- ratio territory like
Montana was also admitted.

AN JOKE.


When a citizen of Toronto eft Ber-
lin the other day some kind friend Sc
cretly placed a piece of cheese in his
valise in case he should get hungry
before he got to Observation-Disclosures
cheese. He bought n paper, and read
an article headed Ventilation in Rail
way Cars" This made him nervous
and it seemed TO him that there was a
curious smell somewhere in tho car.
When the conductor came up the pas
senger told him that there were 4,344
decimal IS cubic feet in the car when
empty. and if occupied by fifty pas
sengers IL would be reduced to AGA
decimal SO feet, and that the air ought
10 be changed eighteen times an hour,
and this he didn't believe was being
done, because there was a queer smell
around there. The conductor said he
did smell kind of q funny smell-didn't
know anything about decimals or cubic
feet. bat thought maybe some of the
the truck people carried around want
ed to be changed instead of the air.
AS he said this he glanced darkly at
the passengers valise, but the passen-
| ger had not the slightest idea that this
article was suspected. However, think
ing that the smell was, perhaps, local
lied in his part of tho car he moved
himself and his savory valise to an.
other seat. Now, by this time the
Limburger had begun to feel the effect
OF the heat, and was emitting an en-
tirely new and still more pungent
variety of smell. The man who occu-
pied the new seat with him intimated
that he was a commercial traveller.
Travel for n drug storep" asked tho
Toronto man. sharply.
We'll, yes, l do; how did you find
oufP' said the traveller.
II don't think drug samples ought
to be carried in passenger cars" SAID
the wner of the valise with consider
able severity.s
IF you are referring to me, SIR
said the traveller, II havn't got any
samples on this car. But there arc
goods that smell wolse than drugs"
and he left the seat carrying his sachel
in n hand and holding his nose with
the other.
The puzzled passenger leaned over
TO the seat in front. and said TO a thin
man with Il long face, Il think there
must be a skunk outside"
II wish it was outside" said tho
long.faced man, with gloomy emphasis,
moving over to the other side of the
car.
And now for the first time the owner
of the fragrant valise noticed that he
was surrounded by a quarantine of
empty seats, and that people were
casting most indignant glances at him.
All at once the horrible truth flashed
upon him that he was suspected. His
face burned so that it seemed to SINCE
his whiskers, and he was the most re-
lieved man on the train when the
Union station was reached.
AS he walked up York street tho
dreadful smell followed him. Seized
by a sudden inspiration, he opened the
valise. and turned the contents out on
the sidewalk. A small boy, who with
great courage stood close by and
watched the operation, states that the
man did not laugh when he found the
cheese; probably his sense of humor
was deficient, as there is no doubt tho
joke was an excellent one. He also is
willing to depose that the nan left the
cheese behind which is another
strange thing, as it is not likely that
he forgot it.

AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION,
To What Amount Soldiers Widows Are
Entitled.

To What Amount Soldiers Widows Are
Entitled.
Washington dispatch: The pension bureau
Is IN receipt Of thousands Of letters from all
parts OF the country Indicating the existence
of a widespread but erroneous impression that
the recent decision Of the Supreme Court In
the case OF Mrs. Hattie A. Burnett vs. the
United States would bring about an almost
total change In the rates OF pensions allowed
TO the widows of soldiers OF the late war. TIE
decision, which WAS rendered by Justice Har-
Ian, on the contrary, sustains the practice OF
the pension Office. Mrs. Burnett's husband,
Gen. Ward IL. Burnett, vas allowed IA pension
or *72 per month by special act OF Congress, on
account OF his totally helpless condition, due
TO wounds received during the Mexican war.
The widow was allowed Il pension OF $50, IN
accordance with The provisions OF the general
law. She however, appealed To the Court OF
Claims claiming the same amount per month
that her husband had " ,eived.
That court, In decision, used this Ian
guage: THE widow becomes entitled TO IA
pension, rot necessarily at the salue rate her
husband was entitled to, but the same rate he
would have been entitled TO IL his claim were
founded upon what, in pension law, Is techni-
cally called total disability" The degree Of
disability by which his pension was rated
makes no diff rences with the widows rights.
After death all degrees OF disability are con
sidered by law as one and the same, to-sit:
Total disc bility and the rate Of pension given
10 that grace becomes the rate or pension for
widow 3. Pensions to living soldiers are grant
ed according to their respective incapacity TO
perform mnnual labor. When the disability IS
total $50 per month is given as an equivalent.
A pension OF so per month, the supposed
equivalent for total disability, is granted The
widow"
The decision OF the ULued States Supreme
Court, which has been SO much misuuder-
stood, simply, as before stated, tfiirms the
judgment Of the Court OF Claims, and the long
establish practice OF the pension bureau has
thereby received the sanction Of the highest
tribunal In the land.

An odd bit comes from far-away
Odessa. 1t appears that a new
terry is about to be opened near that
city, and that two Greek merchants,
each anxious to secure the most COM
Portable or most distinguished resting
place, were allowed by some official
blunder to buy the same allotment.
When the mistake was discovered
neither would yield his claim, and the
matter was referred to the district
Judge. Greek had met Greek, and the
tug of war threatened 10 be severe,
when the magistrate, with astuteness
worthy of Solomon, arranged the mat
ter in the simplest way possible by APP
plying the rule ''first come first serv-
ed" and suggesting that whichever
died first should have the right to the
coveted resting place. The parties
went away r~econciled and happy. 1t
is not stated whether they had to find
sureties to guarantee that neither
would take an unfair advantage Of tho
other by committing suicide.

An exchange says: Quite often
some ono regrets that certain news
items were not in the paper. So does
tho editor. A minister wanted in
some church news but did not want it
bad enough to como around and say
so. Some one has been away on a
visit, or has had q nice social party, or
has made some neat Improvement, but
docs not think it worth while to notify
the editor. a gentleman not long ago
remarked that he might come and go
forever but the paper would never
mention it. The fact is he is a very
clever gentleman when you meet him
and draw him out, but he never comes
to the Office except hen he wants to
pay his subscription. We are glad he
comes that often, and hence an editor
never can mention him unless he hap
pens to find out something.

The Glider family is remarkable In more
than its exploring colonel. 1t came originally
from Bordentown, N. j., and has reached
metropolitan fame via Newark. Richard
Watson Glider, the eldest son, began literary
work as reporter in Newark, and afterward
founded and failed to maintain The Newark
Register. He came TO New York and has be-
come rich and the editor of The Century
Magazine. Jeanette, bis sister, stalwart
girl, as strong in mind as she is in body, used
to be q proof reader, AMI was as popular
among the journalists in Newark as though
she had been man. She also came to New
York, and for long time did newspaper
writing. She wore an ulster and q derby,
rode on the front platforms of the street cars

Great Changes In Journalism.

The novel Of to-day gives us a truer picture
Of life as it is than the daily newspaper. The
former may he inane, frivolous, but it is not
more so than the average society; the latter
would make us believe that The race is COM
posed of criminals and politicians, and that
there is no difference between the two. Yet
the newspaper is the most important and inti-
mate element in our daily lives, except eat
ing, and sleeping, and breathing. 1t is into
this element, SO cruel and dangerous in evil,
so powerful in its possibilities fer good, that
art is coming TO soften, to illunline, and we
hope ennoble
What other great changes may take place
In journalism in the near future can only be
predicted from those we see occurring now.
The telegraph is killing correspondence and
discouraging fine descriptive writing. People
ore too much in hurry; they will no longer
take time to read it; all they want is the
"fact" The great papers, like the great
churches, represent wealth and its interests,
and the small papers represent their adver-
tisers Nero news Is becoming Of secondary
Importance, for news slips, political news,
financial news, sporting news and the like, all
that men are supposed to care for, are dis
tributed all day and in the evening by mes
senger boys in every brokers' Office, every
great business house and every barroom in
the great cities, and is all known before the
morning paper is printed.-Jennie June.
