republic from that day TO this. Its area is about
l60 square miles and population about 5000. It
is governed by q council Of "a members. elected

who receives . salary of 60 pesetas. or twelve
dollars year Forty thousand shares. of one
hundred dollars each. in this new gambling
establishment, were recently sold in Paris at a
high premium within a few days The secret
of the change OF location is that the Prince of
Monte Carlo lately married the daughter of a
rich New Orleans banker. which relieves him of
the necessity of renting his principality for
gambling purposes.

Seattle is about to enjoy great dra.
matte treat The New York Lyceum
Company, which is billed for the entire
week, is one of the strongest dramatic or
CARNATIONS in the United States, next in
rank TO Days company, if not
fully equal to it. The plays billed
for next week are the latest New
York successes. The people and the pieces
are of sort not dependent upon stage or
scenic effects, and the comparatively
limited facilities of the opera-house will
not hinder the admirable presentation of
these admirable plays.

PLuNpERERs roILEp.

In a Judgment rendered yesterday the
state supreme court sustains the position
taken by Gov. Ferry in the matter Of the
geological survey appropriation. There
will be no further payments from the fund
of $4,000 and the whole of the sum, ex-
cepting two or three thousand dollars paid
saved to the state. Thus an unnecessary
and impracticable scheme conceived in
fraud and developed by iniquity has been
foiled-for which thanks are due to the
sagacity and the courage OF that most
righteous magistrate and most excellent
man, Gov. Elisha p. Ferry.

The Examining Board examine ap-
plicants for pensions every Wednesday
in the Government building. The
Home soldiers applying under the law
Of the 27th of June last, have not yet
been examined They don't expect
any money under that act in 1890.
Many claim to me that if they receive
$Is per month under the new depend
ent act they can go home and live with
their families. Others would receive
the money and spend it in Erie and
still expect to be kept in the Home at
the States expense. Every person re-
ceiving pension should make proper
use Of it and not throw it away for
"booze'. as no few do, if not sufficient
to support himself. Apply the little
monthly receipts towards keeping the
wife and children (as many have both)
and who are too sadly in need of that
help, let it be ever so small. The
doctors composing this board are men
of large experience and capability.
The Erie people are expecting
Henry M. Stanley here during the
lecture season. They have course
Of fine lectures going on this winter.
The Park Opera House is occupied
every night with the very best travelling
talent on the stage. The County
Teachers Institute for Erie has been
held, and the city teachers, numbering
about $50, hold local institute every
few weeks, while the many churches
are holding nightly meetings.
On our return, about June I, 1891,
we'll hardly know your town, with so
many new buildings and the valuable
improvement to the Court House.
This latter work the tax payers of the
county should soon reconcile them
selves to, as it is for their comfort and
benefit more especially than for any
one else that it is being made. The
Columbia county papers all reach me
regularly, and to some Of us they are
more interesting than our rations
Success to your contemplated improve
ments in your paper; many others have
adopted the SPACE style and make ups.

paper. Yours etc. W.. HI.

PENSIONS! VETERANS /!
THE DISABILITY PENSION BILL.

Act OF June q, 1890, grants pensions to all ex-
soldiers and sailors who served 10 days or more
| In the Army or Navy during the rebellion and
were honorably discharged, and who are now
suffering from any permanent, mental or ply
steal disability contracted since the war or dur
ing the war whether from disease, injuries OIL
effects OF old age, at the rate OF from 81 TO sl2
per month, according to the degree OF his disa-
billty for the performance OF labor requiring the
eXertion OF physical strength provided the dis
ability Is not due to vicious habits. This pen
sion Is not restricted TO the veterans who have
to make their living by hard labor but is equal
ly due 20 professional men and clerks providing
they have an existing disability which would
prevent the continuous exercise OF the physical
| strength of an abIe-bodied man.
Those who have applied under the general
laws ana who are unable to prove up the pend
ing claim can apply for and secure this pension
| and then continue the prosecution of the former
claim and secure their arrears.
II you are now drawing Il small pension, say
- or 81 per month, you can take this pension
instead, and If you have an application on file
for Increase or additional pension for new dis
abilities you can continue the prosecution OF
such claims while drawing the new pension, or
you can file an original claim for Il disability
contracted In the service while drawing pension
under this new act.
Widows, children and depenpent mothers and
fathers are entitled under this act and can sus-
pend the prosecution OF any pending claim and
take this pension, and afterwards complete the
prior claim and get arrears.
Having been duly appointed an Agent accord
Ing to the rules and regulations OF the Depart
ment OF the Interior In the prosecution OF such
claims and having had success in number OF
cases am always prepared TO give information
and assist claimants, and Will assure them sue
cess II they are able TO establish the facts as re-
quired by law.
Those interested should call soon and claim
their reward.

Free instruction on Highway CONSTRUCTION

The condition of our public high
ways, subject long neglected in the
rapid development of our country in
other directions, is now receiving spec
ial attention, and it is admitted that
there is no feature of public economy
that has a more important bearing
upon the material interests of the
state and its citizens. 1t is coming to
be understood further, that there is
science of roadmaking, based upon
well established principles and what
ever the particular administrative
system under which roads are con-
constructed and controlled, those who
have immediate charge of them should
be well instructed in these principles.
European countries have long recog-
nized this and have especially trained
expert engineers in charge of their
highways, and the fine condition of the
public roads in England, Germany,
and France, is the result OF the scien-
tihc methods employed in construc-
ton and maintenance. In the United
States, and particularly in our own
State, the Superintendent of high
ways is intrusted to private citizens,
locally and temporarily appointed,
without providing for the technical in
struction and training, so essential to
success. Owing to the bad condition
of the highways of Pennsylvania and
believing that better knowledge of
road construction would greatly help
to improve them, and in as much as
the Governor, under the authority of
the State Legislature, has appointed
commission to recommend changes in
our Road Laws, and in view of the
probable demand for persons having
knowledge of this important branch
of engineering, Lafayette College Of
fers to admit, free Of tuition, to
class in Highway Construction in the
Engineering Department, one person,
duly qualified, from each county of
the State, to be appointed by the
Superintendent of Common Schools
in their respective counties. If in
county no applicant applies for ap-
pointment, the said Superintendent
shall have the privilege of appoint
ing one similarly qualified applicant
from any other county or State. The
course of instruction will extend
throughout the last two terms of the
collegiate year, and will consist of
lectures and recitations on the princi-
Piles of construction and economical
