ALARMING STATISTICS.

What the Planes Have Done and Arc Co
ps6's OF Doing.
At a recent meeting of the piano
makers in New York, statistics were
brought forward showing that since
May 6, 1889, 3.2S7 y063 pianos have been
started on their work of destruction,
and that only 2.814 have so far been
destroyed-mostly by incendiary fires
started by persons living in the house
to which the piano belonged and
whose feelings got beyond their con-
troll. The Historical Committee asserts
that. after thorough investigation. it
is prepared to certify that Of the 49,
4S7 pianos manufactured in this coun-
try prior to the war of 1872 only one is
not now in existence, having been ac-
cidentally lost by ferry boat explo-
sion while being transported to Jersey
City. but all the rest are in active use.
chiefly in hotel parlors and in board
ing houses kept for the sake OF
their friends by ladies who have
seen better days. The commit
tee further asserted in its report
that no piano ever dies natural death.
but will remain bright and active and
within half an octave of being in tune.
and be loud and penetrating when lift
ing up its voice. six generations after
the original purchaser has gone to his
long account.
The statement that there is one pi-
ano to every twenty persons in the
United States is proudly pointed to by
the Piano Makers Society, and it
hopes now to see the day when the
pianos will outnumber the population.
Men, it says, contract nervous disor-
orders, insomnia and brain troubles,
much of which is due to the prevalence
of discordant sounds, but pianos live
on and on. and get louder and stronger
with age, and nothing short of confa-
grafton or a cyclone ever incapacitates
them for service. Y. World.

When the stomach dishonors the drafts
made upon it by the rest of the system, it is
very low. Toned with Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, it soon begins to pay out vigor in
the shape Of pure, rich blood, containing
the elements of muscle, bone and brain.
As sequence of the new vigor afforded the
stomach, the bowels perform their func-
tons regularly, and the liver works like
clock work. Malaria has no effect upon q
system thus reinforced.

He Proposed To Drop Some Pensions
His Orders Were Verbal.

HIS ORDERS were verbal
WASHINGTON, Oct Pension Commits
sioner Tanner was seen this evening re-
gariing Mobiles statement and made a
lengthy reply, in which he sharply criti-
cfses Assistant Secretary Russey and al
leges that the judicial decisions of the lat
ter are emanations from the mind of a
member of the pension board of appeals
who was appointed under the Cleveland ad-
ministration after having failed TO pass a
civil service examination.
Tanner arraigns Russey for undertaking
to put him in a false position before the
public. The order in question he says re-
fers TO cases allowed on and after the date
that be took office, March 27. He had de-
termined that he would not issue certiti-
Gates for less than 81 per month. il he had
power 10 prevent It. He looked into the
law and found he had that power.
As ii is broadly stated that ratings fixed
by medical boards are subject 20 revision
By the commissioners, he saved vast
amount of time and trouble by issuing that
order He then said he would give verbal
orders that those pensioned at less than 81
who had applications on file for an in
crease, accompanied by d certificate Of
medical examination held within a year,
should have their claim sdjudieated on this
examination and go up To 81 or off the roll.
Il also ordered verbally that TO all others
should be sent an order for medical exam
ination and abide the result on a like basis. -
Tanner contends tha; there is plenty OF law
for his action.

that no change in the church in Japan was

Congregational church reported that in

change was needed. These remarks caused
a sensation, and DIR. Griffith was greatly
applauded. DIR. Meredith also thought the
board should be SO constituted as To per-
fectly represent the mission work of the
Congregationalists. He complained of be-
ing ignored by the board, and asserted
