The Bill Granting Her a Pension Finally
Passed.
WASHINGTON, September 24th.-The Sem
ate bill granting a pension of 5000 per
year to Mrs. John C. Fremont, and which
passed the House this afternoon, now goes
to the President for his signature, and it is
though he will sign ii Immediately.
Rodney NJ Price was member of Con-
gress nearly forty years ago, but before that
bad gone through the stirring experiences
of early settlers in California. He was
there during its military occupation, as
sisted in the framing of its Constitution,
and was a member of the first City Council
of San Francisco. where he had acquired
large property Returning East, he served
a term in Congress, and was then elected
Governor of New Jersey on the Democratic
ticket, going out of Office in 1858. Since
then he has lived the quiet life of farmer
on his estate in Bergen county.
II was greatly interested" said the ven-
cradle Ex-Governor, with animation, "in
the passage of the bill to grant Mrs. FIRE.
mont pension | was intimately associ-
ated with General Fremont in early days
on the Pacific slope, and know far better
than the generation that has since come
into existence what an immense debt of
gratitude the country owes that man. 1t
distresses me beyond expression to hear
that his widow is in need. Mrs. Fremont
is one of the noblest women l ever knew.
Combined with the intellectual force and
acumen of her illustrious father, Senator
Benton of Missouri, she has all the refined
feminine graces, and her character is truly
lovable. Her life, and that OF her husband,
are part of our national history"

"A post Vault has never been successfully

time required is measured by days.
Their fire. proof qualities have also been so
thoroughly tested as to be beyond questionable
most recent instance being the Seattle fire of
June, 1889. Our Vaults rank among the finest
in the country, and have all the latest devices
for security, including chronometer locks and a
thickness of chilled steel that would de the
best experts for weeks. They are further pro
tected by the foundation walls and first floor of
our building, without exception the strongest in
the city. The paymen. of a small annual rental
etures to your property the protection of these
vaults, which cost many thousands of dollars
to.build.
The rent of SAFE in our Vaults is less than

worthy watchmen.
Your properly is not at the mercy of any one
getting your key or combination. You can
limit the access as you please, and we admit
only those authorized on our books.
You can have access to your safe as many
times day as you please, without asking
favor, as when you leave a "tin box" with
your banker.
II a service is worth anything, it should be

Quired to take ORDINARY care of property IN

When you have recognized place for keep

Insurance policies should not be kept with
the property insured. If LETT in our Vaults,
they can be got whenever needed.
Coupon bonds, when once stolen or destroyed,
cannot be replaced, as the law protects the in
noeent holder, and the loss of registered secur-
tiles or stocks entails much trouble and expense.
We keep them absolutely safe.
A safe in our Vaults enables a man in active
business 10 keep his private affairs distinct; to
professional man it takes the place of an Office.
Ladies find our safes specially convenient for
keeping their papers and jewelry, which can be
withdrawn at a moments notice when needed.
Families breaking up housekeeping, or trav-
cling, can store their silverware and valuables
with us at small expense and with perfect
security.
There is no member of the community who
cannot find some use for our safes which is
worth more to him than the cost If only for the
peace of mind secured.

WASHINGTON September 24th.-In the
case of Michael Shane, on appeal, the Sec
rotary of the Interior has affirmed the de-
clsion of the Commissioner of the General

TEE NEXT ROUSE.
The Democrats Scheming to Capture
Close Republican Districts.

Inc democrats SchemlnS TO capture
Close Republican Districts.
WASHINGTON, September 24th-Some of
the Democrats of the House are seriously
discussing the wisdom of flib stering
against the tariff bill, probably with the
success which crowned their efforts in the
contested election cases. Their present
plan is to detail thirty FIVE men who repre-
sent districts that ere irredeemably or
safely Democratic. These thirty-fve men
will remain in the House all the time, to
demand the ayes and noes on every posi-.
BILE pretense. Their purpose is to force the
Republicans to keep quorum here. The
advantage they hope to gain is that there
are quite number of Republican close dis.
tricts, and so close that they can scarcely be
carried unless the candidate himself is act
lively in the field, and TO keep him here in
Washington to make quorum doubles
the chances of defeat Only such Demo
Gratis are to be left here whose districts are
unquestionably safe, so that doubtful dis
tricts can be carried by those who go away.
1t is very pretty plan and the Democrats
will decide tonight whether to adopt it or
not. As a matter of fact, most of them
would rather let the tariff bill go through
and adjourn
