SAID to BE at san Jose-H1s Creditors
Still dissatisfied.
No trace of John e. Hall could be discov-
cred yesterday in his accustomed haunts
and there is little doubt but that he an
ticipated the action Of the Grand Jury, who
have been investigating him for some weeks,
BY quietly leaving for parts unknown. Why
this has been allowed to happen is singular,
in view Of the fact that it was the province
Of the District Attorney to have him watched
pending the action of the Grand Jury
The embeZzler paid his last visit to his
office in Nevada Block last Saturday and has
not been seen since. 1t is now occupied by
a young lawyer, who was formerly stu
dent with the firm, and Halls name will
soon make way for that Of the new oecu-
pant.
The rumOr that Hall settled with his cred
itors before leaving is emphaticaly denied.
Even his friends admit this, but they claim,
on the other hand, that he is not now try
ing to eyade punishment; that he is. in fact,
visiting his father, who is very sick at his
ranch near San lose

PENSION PAYMENTS.
Quarterly Disbursements Are Less Under
the New Law.

the New Law.
John c. Currier, United States Pension
Agent, states that under the new Pension
Act Of June q, $780, the average quarterly
payments are much less than for the CORE
spending months of the previous year, al
though there is a larger number ot pen
siouers on the rolls. The proofs required
now are not so convincing as formerly and
by the provisions of the new act the dsa-
bility may have occurred after the discharge
from the service. The pensioner under the
present law receives no back pay, his allow
ance dating only from the time Of his ap-
plication. There are about 5000 pensioners
on the rolls of this agency, which disbursed
$325,0O0 on December 4th for the last quar-
ter of 1890 The payments average from
new rolls are now being prepared, the next
quarterly pensions being payable on March
4tl.

DON'TS FOR GUESTS.

Don't arrive before you are expected.
Too early is as bad as too late--worse
sometimes. The half day before the
visitor comes Is the busiest cF the
week, III a good many families. Bear
that in mind, and if your shopping
prospers beyond your hopes and you're
through IN time for the IL 80 train,
don't run the risk of surprising your
hostess just as she's putting up the
clean curtains in four looms. Such a
surprise wouldn't really be as pleasant
as her cordiality might pretend. The
three or four hours more of your COM
pany wouldn't make up to her for the
DISAPPOINTMENT of having everything
fresh and pretty to greet you. So sit
down in the station and wait for your
appointed $40.
Don't come too early to your meals.
OF course, you krow better than TO
come late.
But maybe you haven't thought of
the danger on the other side. And
yet you can see, ii you will think, that
in small house where the sitting.
room and dining room are one, and
perhaps the hostess, cook and table
glrl one also, it is embarrassing to have
the visitor appear upon the scene too
promptly. This is particularly the
case at breakfast. Perhaps the house
keeper has made an early start with
the express purpose of getting some Of
her work out of the way before you are
stirring. And loI here you are, and
she has begun to feel the responsibility
for entertaining you already 3! You
ought to have kept that responsibility
quite out of her sight from bedtime TO
the breakfast bell.
Don't leave your room in disorder.
It's marvellous what temptations beset
you when you go a-visiting-and per
baps left your sense Of duty behind to
take a little vacation of its own. To
keep one room in order seems harder
than to look after a whole house at
home. But you ought to do it just the
same. Even if there are servants to
set it to rights tor you night and morn
ing, it is you who are responsible for it
throughout the main part of the day.
You may think it concerns no one but
yourself if .our drawers are half open,
your boots and rubbers III the mid
die of the floor and your toilet ap.
pllances strewn broadcast over the bu-
reau. But your hostess, at least, will
catch glimpses OF the disorder as she
passes the door and be annoyed by it.

AN INCOMPLETE REVELATION.

While Quaker folks were Quakers still, some
fifty wears ago.
When coats were drab and gowns were plain and
speech was staid and slow,
Before Dame Fashion dared suggest single trtz
or curl
There dwelt, mid Penfield's peaceful shades an
od-time Quaker girl.
Ruth Wilson'S garb was of her sect. Devoid OF
furbelUwS
She spo,e rebuke to vanity, from bonnet to her
toes;
Sweet red bird was she, all disguised in feathers
of the dove,
With dainty foot and perfect form and eyes that
dreamt of love.
SylvanuS 2IO re, a bachelor OF forty years or So
A quantity, piOus, weakened soul, with beard and
hal OF tow,
And queer thin !, gS Tnd shutting walk and
drawing nasal tone,
Was prompted by the Spirit to make this maid
his own.
He knew it the Spirit, for he felt it in his
breast,
A oft before in meetng-time, and, sure OF his
request.
Procured the permit in due form. On Fourth
day OF that week
He let Ruth know the message true that he was
moved to speak.
Ruth, it has been revealed to me that thee and
| shall wed,
| have spoken To the meeting and the members
all have said
That our union seems righteous one, which
they will not gansay.
So II convenient to thy views, L ii wed thee next
ThTd-day.n
The cool possession of herself by friend Sylvanus
Moore
Aroused her hot resentment, which by effort she
isrebOre-
(She knew he was a goodly man, of simple,
childlike mind)
And checked the word "tmpertinence :" and an
swered him in kind
'.Sylvanus Moore, do thee 20 home and wait until
| see
The fact that l must be thy wife revealed unto
ME-"
And thus she left him there alone, at will to
ruminate
Sore puzzled at the mysteries of Love, Free VIII
and Fate.
Richard A. Jackson in the Century.
