retary of the interior to utilize the hot

sideration of the urgent deficiency bill,

ing the public printer to enforce rigidly
the eight-hour law. The item was
struck out-yeas, 80; nays, 20. Mr..
Payne offered an amendment apprOpri-
ating 100000 for the pay of assistant
custodians and janitors of public build
ings all over the country for the current
fiscal year, and made statement in ex-
planation and advocacy of it, showing
the reductions in pay and service at
the New York and Cincinnati custom
houses and other buildings for lack of
appropriations. This led to general
discussion upon the subject of public

down the ladder to the street. The

ladder would soon be up, and urging
her to wait quietly. The flames began
to burst through the partitions in vari-

situation. Dan Phillips began to choke

~ Hand in the Wrong Pocket.

A 1aughable incident of the street was
the one witnessed the other day in front
of q jewelry store in whose show window
was displayed a gorgeous array Of gems
and ornaments. all lying in q bed of
whitest cotton. Among the throng gath
cred in front of this display were man
and his wife. The man wore a big ulster
with wide pockets at either side. The day
was cold, and the nose of the woman
needed frequent attention, which she
gave it by reaching in her husbands
ulster pocket for handkerchief appar-
emily kept there for family use. It GER
tainly was most convenient place. But
in luckless moment the husband left
the wife's side and moved little ways
off, that he might better inspect piece
of jewelry that had attracted his atten-
ton. The wife unaware of his change
of base, made some remark about the
jewellery, and then showed her hand into
the pocket of the ulster that was by her
side and brought forth big and red
handkerchief, which she proceeded to
use without delay.
excuse me, madam" said gruff-
voiced stranger at her side, ''but that's
my handkerchief, and"
For answer the poor woman threw the
handkerchief in the mans face, gave ut
terance to little scream, and sought
protection on the arm of the ulster to
which she had been duly welded. A
word explained all, and a litter went
round the crowd.-Wicago Herald.

As Bad as Living i'm a Flat.
A Washington letter SAYS:

The wife of Western Congressman,
quite well known in the House, has q
cosy little apartment, and in the dining
room-she has three rooms in all-is q
curious looking settee, or sofa, which
has often attracted the attention of her
visitors. 1t looks like large box, COW
cred with imitation Indian cloth. It has
figures and plenty of gold thread rum
ming through it, while the top is tuft and
makes rather soft seat.
She had some guests to tea the other
evening, and one of them remained later
than the others. The guest was seated
on the sofa, slipping glass of wine, and
talking to the Congressman and his wife,
when the door suddenly opened and an
apparition appeared on the threshold.
It WAS the six year old child of the men,
Der from the west. The boy was arrayed
in his night clothes, and carried over
his arm a rough bath towel, while I'M
der the other he had snugly tucked away
large sponge. In one hand he held a
cake of soap, and the other grasped the
knob of the door. His mother gave an
exclamation of surprise when she beheld
him, but before she could say anything
the enfsnt terrible shouted out: 81 say
Mr.. Jones, thus addressing the strang-
er, chow much longer are you going to
stay? have been waiting here for the
last hour for you to go home, so I can
take my bath. Do you know that you
are sitting on the bath tub, and I can't
get in until you go homer"
The scene that followed can be i'm
agined. The gentleman soon after left.
The boy, being in very convenient
costume, had sound spanking, while
his mother lifted the top of the curious
looking sofa and displayed inside the
zine lined bath tub, spigots and all COM
plete. The guest gave the joke away,
and now the member swears that next
time he entertains he will hire house
if it takes all his salary. He has had en-
ough of this mechanical furniture, and
especially bath tubs hidden in sofas.

CROWDED SOLDIERS HOMES.
The Number of Inmates Increasing
Absolute Need of Legislation.

The annual report Of the Board of
Managers of the National Home for Dis
abled Volunteers has been laid before
the United States House. The Presi-
dent, Gen. Franklin, says barracks at
the Northwestern, Southern and West
ern branches have been erected during
the fiscal year, furnishing accommoda-
tons for about 200 men. Every bed
in these additional barracks is now in
use and in every branch except, perhaps,
the Western, men are now using the
floor for beds. The average number of
inmates present during the last fiscal
year was 9,718, an increase in five years
of 1850, or A per cent. The number
of deaths was $50, which is 81 per cent.
more than the death rate of men of the
same age in ordinary health. Gen.
Franklin says these figures show how
great is the general disability of the
members of the home and suggests what
the fate of the members might have
been had not the fostering care of the
National home been rendered them.
During the past three years the num-
Der of those admitted on account of
wounds received in action has materially
fallen of, while the number admitted on
account of age and disability incurred
since the war has increased, so that the
annual number of admissions continually
increases. The causes of increase will,
continue as the soldiers grow older, and
the membership must increase for an in
determinate series of years so long as
Congress furnishes them means. The
existing branches are now filled to their
utmost capacity, and in the opinion of
the Board only one. or at most two, of
them should be further enlarged.
The report says if it be the intention
of Congress to care for all disabled SOL
diers, entitled to admission to the home
under existing law, legislation will be
required, either to establish additional
branches, materially enlarge existing
branches, encourage the States to estab-
lish State homes or to make appropria-
ton for outdoor relief for those soldiers
who cannot be admitted to existing
branches. Should Congress consider
that the present accommodations are
sufficient, the maximum number of sol
diers, who shall receive the benefits of
the homes should be fixed by law.

THEY MET AFTER MANY YEARS.
A Soldier and His Daughter, Long
Separated, Again See Each Other.

When Monday afternoons expires
went West from Bronson, Mich, it con-
tanned pair of as happy people as are
ever met in the ordinary course of life.
The couple consisted of a proud and
happy father who was taking to his
wealthy Western home daughter whom
he had not seen since she was babe,
until he found her here, and the daugh-
ter was in happy mood, since she was
leaving the life of domestic for one of
independence. The father was William
Wood, and he went into the army over
twenty-five years ago from New York,
leaving young wife and baby daugh-
ter.
Shortly after his departure the wife
was fatally injured in railroad disaster,
and the little girl at her death was placed
among strangers. At the close of the
war Wood heard of his wife's death for
the first time, but could find no trace of
his child further than that the family
which had adopted her had removed to
the West. The father exhausted every
resource and every cent of his then linn
tied means to discover his child, but
without avail At length he settled in
Minnesota, went into business, accumu-
lated a fortune, and married a second
time. Some time ago his second wife
died, and then Wood, to make one more
effort to find his daughter, revisited his
old home in New York. There he learned
that woman signing herself Mary
Rider had written from Bronson, Mich,
making inquiries regarding his where
Sbouts. He went to Bronson, and after
weary search of three weeks found his
long-lost child employed in family
seven miles from there. The meeting
was an affecting one, and father and
daughter at once set out for his home.
