The Koh.i-noor n1is,a,d.

An interesting anecdote is related in
che life of Lord John Lawrence in regard
TO that most famous diamond, the Koh-
i-noor. When the precious gem was
committed to the care of Lord Lawrence
he stuffed it into his waistcoat pocket
and went on with business Dinner time
arriving, he changed his clothes and
threw his waistcoat aside. Six weeks
later message came that the queen de.
sired the diamond to be sent home at
once. The matter had entirely escaped
the memory Of the absent minded lord
and he at first avowed that he had for
warded it long before. When the facts
came back to him he was badly fright
ened, but allowed no misgivings to ap-
pear, and took the first opportunity to
slip away to his private room.
Once there, with his heart in his mouth
he sent for his native servant and said to
him: "Have you got small box which
was in my waistcoat pocket some time
ago?' f"Yes, sahib," the man replied,
i found it and put it in one Of your
boxes" Bring it here" said the sahib.
Upon this the old servant went to a
broken down tin box and produced the
little one from it. "Open it" said Lord
Lawrence, land see what is inside" He
watched the man anxiously as fold after
fold Of cloth was taken off, and great
was his relief when the brilliant gem
appeared The servant seemed perfectly
| unconscious of the immense treasure he
had had in his keeping. "There is moth
ing here, sahib," lie said, ''but bit of
| glass; Thus, through the indifference
Of native servant, what might have
been serious loss was turned into a
happy recovery. st. Louis Globe-Dem-

A watch ought to be wound regularly
at about the same hour every day. The
best time to do it is in the morning, for
two reasons. Firstly, because the hours
of rising and dressing are more regular
with most people than their hours of dis
robing and retiring. Secondly, because
the full power of the handspring is more
likely to reduce to minimum the irreg-
ularities caused by the movements of

A Civil Service knot United.

WASHINGTON, Oct 1s.-ln compliance with
the request of the president, Socilitor Cen
eral Chapman rendered an opinion upon the
question submitted by the civil service com
missioners.
In April j. NJ. Taylor was appointed in tho
regular way as a railway postal clerk. Tay-
lor, however, did not take the oath of office
until May IS, 1889. The time when the rule
to include the railway mail service should go
into effect having qeen extended from March
l5 to May |, the question came up whether
Taylor should not have been subject to a
civil service examination. The solicitor gen
eral finds that the fact that Tay lOr did not
take the oath of Office until after May IS
immaterial upon the question of his right to
hold the office TO which he was appointed on
April 20. IL is understood that large num-
ber OF appointments were made to the rail
way mail service just prior TO May /, and in
a large percentage of these cases the ap-
pointees were, owing TO the snortness of the
time, unable to take the necessary oath,
which fact it has been contended renders
their appointments void. The opinion was
approved by the attorney general,

STABBED HIS WIFE IN COURT.
A Jealous Husband Frustrated I'm an
Attempt at Murder.

INDIANAPoLIs, Oct. 1s.-TSpecial Telegram
to The BEE. Henry Smith, a huckster, was
defendant yesterday in Justice Jpdkins
court on charge of threatening his wifes
life. When Smith was led into the court
room he addressed the squire saying he was
not ready for trial. The squire asked him if
he could furnish bond, and then Smith turn
ing to his wife, said: "See what you have
brought us to. rll fix you."
With that he drew large knife from his
pocket and sprang at his wife. Grabbing
her by the throat with his left hand he
plunged the knife into her throat within n
quarter of an inch of the jugular vein. He
was about to stab her second time when
Squire Judkius and some of the spectators
sprang forward and caught his arm.
In an instant the widest confusion pre-
vailed in the court room. Some women who
had accompanied Mrs. Smith ran wildly
about screaming and a general rush for tho
stairway leading TO the street fol-
lowed. Mrs. Smith fell to the
floor insensible, and the justice and constable
struggled with the desperate husband TO pre-
vent him from striking another blow. Smith
was soon overpowered and disarmed, but
begged for the knife that he might cut his
own throat.
The trouble is due to jealousy and Smith
declared he had no regret for what he had
done except that the blow was not fatal.

THE PENSION OFFICE REPORT.
Nearly Five Hundred Thousand Men
on the Rolls.

WAsH1NGToN, Oct 1S.-Thc annual report
for the fiscal year lSSS-0 of the commissioner
of pensions shows there were at tho close Of
the year 4S9,igl pensioners. There were
added to the rolls during the year named
81 .02l new pensioners, l,754 were restored to
the rolls and 10, 500 dropped from the rolls for
various causes. The amount paid for pensions
during the year was SSS,2i5, ll3 Tho amount
paid as fees to attorneys was 81 ,3d3 5S3.
Since 1881 there has been filed l2iS, JAG
pension claims, of which 1Sg,l21 have been
allowed, the amount disbursed on account
of pensions since 1861 being 81, ,C52, 2lS4l3.
During the past fiscal year li5, pos ccrtih-
Gates were issued, 5l,92l being originals.
At the close OF the year there were pend
ing unallowed 4i00 900 claims of all classes.
The commissioner recommends that con-
gress be asked to amend the act of June q,
1874, so as to extend the benefit of all pen
sion laws to all pensioners whose pensions
have been granted by special acts subsequent
to the said date, and that pensions be granted
tho widows of soldiers who died,
from causes originating in the service,
prior to 1881 during time of peace. He fur
ther recommends that the act OF March 3,
1871, be amended TO grant pensions to those
who having participated IN the rebellion
subsequently enlisted in the army or navy of
the United States and were disabled therein
The commissioner recommends new legls-
lation to rcctify the inequalities in sthe
ratings, and cites instances to
show the unfairness in the rates now pro-
vided by law. He thinks this statute should
be amended so as to permit rate of S12 per
month to be proportionately divided for dIsa-
bilities shown to be incident to the service
and tho line of duty. The injustice and
unfairness caused by the lazy of
juno l6, 1850, limiting the right
of pensions TO receive Si2 per month to those
who were receiving $50 per month ut the date
of the law should be corrected. No pro-
vision is made for grading this rate for per-
ceiving $50 at the time, and none for those
who have become totally helpless since that
date.
The commissioner proposes to pension
all soldiers who We're disabled. On this
point he says:
"As the war period recedes from us and
age and Its attendant infirmties afllct
the veterans, it is a serious question
whether the government does him JUS
ticC In limiting the application of the pen
sion laws to those disabilities only which
were contracted in the service. earnestly
recommend that pension be granted to
every honoraby discharged soldier and
sailor who is now, or who may hereafter be-
come disabled and without regard to
whether such disability is chargeable to the
service of the United States or has been con-
tracted since discharged therefrom."
The commissioner calls attention to
what he believes to be the
manifestly insufficient sum (S2 per monthly
granted by the act of 1866 to widows for the
care and support of minor children under
sixteen years Of age.
The commissioner also favors a pension for
army nurses, and makes an earnest plea in
their behalf.

SILVER LEAD ORE FREE.
Secretary Winiom Refuses to Change
Its Classification.

WAsHlNGToN, Oct. 1S.-Secretary Win
dom tonight made public the long expected
lead ore decision.
He sustalus the present classification that
admits argentiferous lead ores imported from
Mexico1free OF duty.
The decision rectes the uniform decisions
aud practice of the department with respect
to the classification of these ores since 1880,
aud says, in view Of the fact that since the
original decision congress has re-enacted the
pre-existiug provisions of the tariff with re-
gard to lead and silver ores, the secretary
does not feel at liberty to set aside the eX-
isting classification. He also quotes from
the report of the judiciary committee of the
senate last year to the effect that ores of the
character mentioned, namely ores contain
silver, but more gold or silver in value, are
not, in the opinion of the committee, subject
to duty under the existing law.
