An Operator Among Bears.

Edward Smith, young telegraph
operator of New York, had a fright
full experience on the mountain near
Wilkesbarre, Pc, on Friday night.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey
runs its trains through tunnel in the
mountain, and on the east side of the
tunnel is a telegraph office. The place
is so lonely that it is a hard matter TO
keep an operator there. Young Smith
accepted the place Monday. At mid
night Friday night the usual quiet
was broken by terrible yells, and
Smith, looking out, saw his shanty
surrounded by bears, wildcats and
other wild beasts. The wildcats
dashed against the window and Smith
fought them with a red-hot poker,
while the bears climbed on the roof.
Smith telegraphed in haste to White
Haven, and Operator McAndrews re-
sponded by sending down an engine
and a number of section hands. AT
the approach of the engine the wild
cats fled. Subsequently two large
wildcats were killed. Smith said he
would not spend another night in the
place for a fortune. and when the
next train came along for New York
he boarded it.

SOME STARTLING FIGURES.

lie NEW IOI l4cf0t0 VI oAOhNN
last contained some startling facts in
connection with the pension legisla-
ton of our government.
Under the Dependent Pension bill,
passed June 81, 1890, $780, claims
have already been filed.
The total annual expenditure which
those claims, exclusive OF all other
pensions, will cause is, at the lowest
possible estimate, S49,OOO,OOO.
By the end of another fiscal year
the totalnumber of claims filed under
the same act will probably amount to
900, 600
The total annual expenditure which
these claims, exclusive of all other
pensions, will cause is estimated at
S64, 800, COO.
OF these claims ninety-six per cent
are filed through attorneys.
At the rate allowed by the law, $40
for each case, the fees of the attor-
news under this act alone will amount
to 100000.
By the end of another fiscal year
the new act and the operation of the
old acts will have increased our pen
sion expenditures to more than 5000
900, 600 year.
And this new act was not passed at
the demand or desire of the old sol
diers, but at the instigation of the
pension attorneys.
When the bill was under discussion
in Congress we were told that the
greatest number of claims of all kind
which could possibly be filed under it
from now to the end of time was 300,
900. and 175, 900 was much more likely
to be the figure.
Instead of that in the first four
months and a-half of the law $50, 200
claims have been filed and more are
coming at the rate of 5000 or 10, 900 Il
week
We were told that $40000,000 a
year was the largest amount that
could ever by any possibility be
called for by the bill and that $50,
600, 600 would probably prove to be
the actual figures.
Instead of that the claims already
filed represent an annual payment of
nearly S5O,OOO,OOO
1t was asserted that the additional
expense would be so slight that it
would not be necessary TO make extra
appropriations at the time the bill
passed, but the amount called for
could readily be paid out of the gen
eral pension fund.
Instead of that there will be a
deficiency this year in the pension
account of S1S,000,000 to $50, 900, 900,
and it is grave question if the rev.
enues of the country will be sufficient
to meet these and the other expenses
of the government.
Never was an deliberately supported
forecast that failed so completely.
Never was such plausible demostra'
ton of figures so utterly demolished
by the facts.
Commenting upon the monstrous
abuses thus brought to notice, the
Baltimore Sun says it has not space to
go into this exposure ir detail, but
the salient points of it will open the
eyes of its readers to the enormities
of bill that was engineered by pen
sion agents at Washington, and who,
it is stated, are believed TO have made
their footing good with the Republic
can party by contributing three
hundred thousand dollars toward the
expenses of the last presidential cam
paign. This they might easily do il
it be true, as alleged, that one pen.
sion attorney alone has made five
millions of dollars out of pension
fees.

Forbade the Marriage.

Miss Gertrude Howe was about to
be married to Frederick Burke in st.
Stephens Church, in Chicago, when
startling incident interrupted the
ceremony. As the pastor. recited the
formula as to whether any reason ex-
listed why the couple ought not to be
married, tall. fragile. blackeyed
girl, bearing a baby in her arms, step
ped forward and sternly said
Il forbid the marriage" The
church was crowded with friends who
had come to witness the ceremony,
and as this bombshell declaration
was uttered everybody started up
with amazement. The groom s rud.
DIV face paled and he staggered as II
he had received a mortal blow. The
bride almost tainted at the altar steps.
The clergyman was aghast at the IN
expected turn of events. He de-
manded an explanation from the
woman. The groom recovered his
composure first and whispered to his
best man to bring a paper from his
overcoat pocket. The document was
then handed to the clergyman and
evidently proved satisfactory, for the
ceremony proceeded.
The girl, who was Sarah Harris,
protested, declaring Burke already
had wife and family in Canada, and,
$50 he had promised 10 marry her
before he had told her Of his previous
marriage But before the altar steps
the groom declared he was not mar
ried, and that the woman, Sarah Har-
ris, had signed the document, then in
the minister's hand, giving up all
claims on him for the support of her
and their child. Five weeks before
the birth Miss Harris procured a war
rant for his arrest, and he was ar
raigned. He then swore he had
wife and family in Canada, and was
discharged Weak and i'll and with
no friends to help her i'll her great
trouble, Miss Harris signed paper
giving up all claims on Burke for

The man was Dr. Pierce. The dis
covery was his "Favorite Prescrip-

Why go round with one foot in the

stood-when there's a remedy at
hand that isn't an experiment, but
which is sold under the guarantee that
if you are disappointed in any way in
it, you can get your money back by
applying to its makers.
We can hardly imagine a wonan's
not trying it. Possibly it may be
true of one or two-but We doubt it.
Women are ripe for it, They must
have it. Think of a prescription and
nine ont of ten waiting for it. Carry

you cure it. DR.. Pierce's Pellets are
