William Thaw's Beauest to be Used In
Building Extensions.
The Board Of Managers of the Allegheny
General Hospital will meet at the hospital
this evening. 1t is probable that the dispo-
sition of the bequest of $4,000 made by
William Thaw, will be considered. Rev.
DR.. B. F. Woodburn. the President of the
Board, said last evening: ''The bequest is
timely. The hospital needs more room. 1t
is overcrowded. More space is especially
needed for pay patients, with whom the hos
pital is popular. There is not much
ground, but the two rear buildings, if re-
modelled, might be made much larger. 1t
will, of course. be some time, perhaps a
year, before the sum will be at our disposal,
butthere is no doubt that we will re-
ceive it."

BIG CROWDS EXPECTED.

The Exposition Buildings Were the Center
of Attraction.
The fattering attendance at the Exposi-
ton last week indicates that the coming
week will bring surprises to both managers
and the public in the way of crowds. Every
thing was quiet about the buildings yeste1-
day as no person was allowed inside except
a couple Of trustworthy men, as goods to the
value of many hundred thousand dollars
were easily accessible, and it was thought
best to allow positively no one inside.
This morning at 9 o'clock, Inspector Nc
Aleese will swear in the police force about
the Exposition. This puts the watchmen
practically under the orders of the
Inspector. :,
The musical programme as FURNISHED by
Conductor Weiss, continues to attract at
tention and favorable comment from all.
The programme for this afternoon will be
as follows:

A Deficiency.

The commissioner of pensions has
informed the secretary of the interior
that there will be deficiency in the
amount necessary for the payment of
pensions for the current fiscal year of
about SS,000,000 He recommends
that congress appropriate this amount
to prevent the stoppage of the payment
of pensions. The commissioner states
that from July |, 1888, to January 81
1889, 81, 642 pension certificates have
been issued, which is "a 4S9 in excess
of the issue during the corresponding
period of last year; that he knows of no
reason why the same ratio of increase
will not continue during the ensuing
five months of the present year. The
average value of pensions upon the
rolls is being increased by the grant
ing of increased pensions. He states
that the increased disbursements for
pensions during the present year results
from the act of congress of June Z, 1888,
granting arrears of pensions to widows,
and that of August 20, 1888, increasing
the rate for total and partial deafness.
The amount appropriated for army and
navy pensions during the current year
is $50 ,473 900.

A Peculiar Case.

The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Journal says: "The most
extraordinary pension case that has
ever been before the pension office was
decided last week. 1t was the applica-
ton of dependent mother. The SOL
der was in Vermont regiment and at
the front. A supply train had been
captured by the command he was in,
and among the stores were several bar
rels of whiskey. The heads of the bar
rels were broken in and a general rush
for the contents was made. First
come, first served" was the rule, until

A SOutherner's Opinion.

| am to speak to you of the greatest
history-making period of our country
and of two great generals who lived
during that period. The soldiers of
the Union army met foemen worthy of
themselves and conquered them. 1t is
one of the greatest things that can be
said of General Grant as soldier that
he made so great a soldier as General
Robert E. Lee surrender his sword.
The men who whipped the South can
whip anything and the two armies, now
under one flag, can defend this country
against any invasion from foreign
foe. If it should be necessary to go to
war with any foreign power l may say
that if the North will furnish the pri-
Yates the South will provide the
colonies. When Mr.. Lincoln signed
the emancipation proclamation he
fought with his pen the greatest battle
of the war. The North put its best
foot forward at the end of the war.
The South put its best foot forward at
the beginning. Southern soldiers all
love General Grant because of his
tenderness of heart as soldier and his
noble qualities as man.

Questions Answered.

j. D., BERLIN.-If you return to
your old home in Ireland you can con-
tinue to receive your pension at an eX-
pense of fifty cents quarter for an
international money-order.
T. W., RICHMoND.-There is no
reason why you should not write the
commissioner of pensions for informa-
ton concerning your claim pending in
his office. Ask him simply for the con-
dition of your claim and to inform you
what evidence, if any, is needed to
complete it. Give the number of your
claim and the company and regiment
in which you served, and you will no
doubt receive reply within four weeks.
G.. H., CHELsEA.-The number of
persons employed in the pension office
at Washington exceeds fifteen hundred,
including about three hundred special
examiners who are at work in different
parts of the country. The pension
Office force is about the same in number
as it was four years ago. Only seventy
five were discharged during the past
year, sixty-eight resigned, nineteen
died and one hundred sixty-one ap.
pointments were made.
II. c., LINCoLN.-You are not sure
of having your claim investigated by a
special examiner of the pension Office
by requesting it to be done. You ought
to make the strongest case you can on
your evidence, then file your own aft
davit, stating that you have furnished
the best obtainable testimony, and ask
to have your claim adjudicated. You
will be likely to receive your pension Of
have the claim referred to special ex
aminer for an investigation.

the whiskey began to run low, and an
effort was made to dip it out. The SOL
der, for whose mother a pension is
claimed, was one of the late-comers,
and he had to lean over the side of the
barrel to reach down with his tin cup
for drink. In a spirit of devitry
some of his comrades lifted his heels
and threw him into the barrel head first.
He remained in that position, to the
great delight of the fun-makers. When
every one had enjoyed the supposed
joke, the victim was drawn out by his
legs, and then it was discovered that he
was dead. The fumes and the shock of
the whiskey dip had strangled him.
The mothers loss was the same as if
her boy had been killed in battle, and
as he was in the service when he died,
the claim of death 90 in the line of
duty" was set up, with the hope that
the pension Office might allow it to pass,
considering her necessities and the 10y
atty of her boy, who had volunteered
in pure patriotism and for love of his
country. The pension Office clerks,
however, do not make the laws, and
whatever their sympathies for the poor
mother might be, or the kindly feeling
excited by the CHASTITY humor of the
claim, they had to consider that their
decision would be reviewed by board
of government pension lawyers. The
claim was therefore rejected" There
is no law that says that such death as
that described above was not in the
line of duty. tits the construction put
upon the law. Death from accident,
where the soldier himself was not to
blame, has been held to be in the line
of duty. The death of soldier from
eating green fruit was held to be in line
of duty and the widow pensioned.
This case will probably go to the secre-
tary of the interior for his decision on
an appeal and if the claimant fails there
it will be a case for special act of con-
| gress.

GARDEN MEMORIES.

garden old stretches down toward the sea,
The flowers INTENDED, the wild thorns growing.
The sun burns hot, and the wind from the lea
Now and again is restlessly blowing;
Trying 70 wake in this land Of death
Some song of the past; sceDtleSs breath
OF laughing roses, and lips SO fair,
And sunbeams playing mid golden hair.
The oleanders lie withered and broken,
From the thicket hard bv comes no thvush's song.
Would ghost not rise if word be spoken,
Or step resound the dark alleys along?
4 ghostly hand full OF fair withered flowers
Scattering its burden pale in showers,
Like sea foam driven upon the wave,
To cover a long forgotten grave
The sun and the wind and the rain come thither
To the garden old that stands by the sea;
The flowers dream and blossom and wither.
And the wild hawk hovers over the lee.
But fair head sleeps in the bosom of death,
The red lips will never again draw breath,
All are at rest now; naught left to show
The love and the sorrow of long ago.

LITTLE BOY BLUE.

Under the haystack little Boy Blue
Sleeps with his head on his arm,
While voices Of men and voices Of maid.
Are calling him over the farm
Sheep in the meadows are running wild
Where poisonous heritage grows.
Leaving white tufts of downy fleece
On the thorns Of the sweet wild rose.
Out In the fields where the silken corn
Its pluned head mods and blows,
Where the golden pumpkins Hpen below,
Trample the white faced cows
But no loud blast on the shining horn
Calls back the straying sheep,
And the COWS may wander In hay or corn
While the keeper lies asleep.
His roguish eyes are tightly shut,
his dimples are all at rest;
The chubby hand, tucked under his head,
By one rosy cheek IS pressed.
Waken himf No. Let down the bars
And gather the trlant sheep;
Open the ba-nyard and drive in the cows;
But let the little boy sleep.
For year after year we can shear the fleece,
And corn can always be sown;
And the sleep that visits little Boy Blue
VIII not come when the years have flown
