During President CLEvELAND's ad-
ministratlon there was none Of this bust
ness around the Pension Bureau. The
press of the country was not ladened
with crooked schemes on foot to award
money to improper persons, or to pro-
mote the pensions Of the undeserving
and to withhold them from those who
we're, because they would not resort to
the detestable means so prevalent at the
present day. The only complaint heard
Of then was from the pension sharks
who could not get their hands into
Uncle Sans pocket deep enough and
fast enough. An honest, wholesome
vigilance guarded al the avenues OF
waste; Enthusiastically subordinates,
when discovered. promptly got their
walking papers ard every officer Of the
the administration was as conscientious
as his chief. The contrast between
now an then is as great as the day is
from night.

ROGUEs come to grief in unexpected
ways. A New Jersey man at his death
left his fortune OF million or more to
his wife and daughter. This was some
twenty odd years ago. They have since
died. The relatives who were cut of
without a cent have discovered through
the aid Of a young lawer, a viii post
dating the one probated, which includes
them in the bequest. The interlineatlons
in the lost will are In red ink. In the
suit that followed, expert testimony
was introduced by the contestants
proving conelusively that the red ink
used in the will was not discovered until
years after the date Of the document.
The expert said that at the time the
will was dated the red ink in
use was composed ofan ammOnical sOlu-
ton of cochineal, while the ink used was
the discovery Of the French chemist
CARO- in 1874 being made from eOs!n, an
analine product Of coal tar, which Is
now used for making carmine ink. The
ink reflects a golden bronze surface,
which no other red ink has. The ex-
pert stated that when tested by hydro
chloric acid it would undergo certain
changes which would distinguish it
from all other red inks. The evidence
was backed up by authorities and
works upon the subject which the
Chancellor accepted as conclusive. 1t
takes vezy smart rogue TO completely
cover up his tracks.

THAT OoRRuPrpENsIoN BUREAU.

The most important branch of the
government outside of the treasury
itself is the Pension Bureau. Its i'm
portance arises from the vast amount of
money expended through this source.
Hundreds Of millions Of dollars are paid
annually in pensions. Instead Of it
being run with the business care and
exactness that should hedge it, its
methods are as loose as they make
them Scandal after scandal has been
unearthed in the Pension Bureau during
Mr.. HARRIsON's administration, One
commissioner had to resign because Of
his incompetency, and his successor ap-
pears to be no better
GREEN B. RAUai, the present lncum-
bent, does not seem to care much what
be does or what others around him do,
or what is said about his queer admins
tratiOn. He has pull on the Presi-
dent, and that settles it.
The latest scandal waited from Wash
Ington is the following:
1t is stated here to-day on excellent
authority that Secretary Noble has In
his possession, and to-day exhibited at
the meeting OF the Cabinet, four afida-
wits certifying TO the truth OF the state
ment that Green i. Raum, Jr., pro-
cured four promotions in the Pension
Bureau within the past two months, or
since HIS own dismissal from the
bureau, for cash consideration. IL is
notorious that that young man, though
no longer drawing q salary from
the Government, is still one Of the most
ln1uential men in the Pension Bureau.
1t viii be remembered that he
was dismissed by Assistant Sec
rotary Chandler some months ago for
procuring promotions In the Pension
Bureau for cash consideration. He is
still az the business, although he Is no
longer on the Government rolls himself.
His father, however, is still Pension
Commissioner, and the young fellow.
although turned out Of the bureau IN
disgrace, still seems to be running
things IN the bureau and obtaining pro-
motions on the old conditions. IL is not
known, Of course, what action the Cabi-
net took on this matter, but II Is doubt
ful If anything can be brought to the at
tention Of the President or the Cabinet
that could much affect the standing Of
Raum with that body, as they mnsf al
ready be familiar with his ways and
means and methods.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Horse TrampIes Upon the aOstler at the

A Horse Tramples Upon the aostier at the
Niagara Engine House.
VIM. White, the hostler at the
Niagara engine house, had narrow es-
cape from death at noon yesterday.
At that hour he entered the stall of
one of the engine horses, with a sieve
containing feed. In some manner the
sieve dropped from his hand, in front
Of the horse, and no stopped to pick it
up. The animal kicked him upon
his left leg and knocked
him down. 1t then trampled
upon him, badly bruising his
breast and right leg, and almost tear
ing his clothes from his body.
He managed to crawl out Of the stall,
and was taken to his home on Twenty
fourth street, where DR.. D. Fl. Taylor
dressed his wounds. His injuries,
while not serious, are quite painful, and
will ineapacitate him for work for some
time. Rich Kenney will ill his posi-
ton at the Niagara temporarily.

Instead Of the customary one monkey
this industrious son Of Italy carries
two. When he stops in front OF saloon
the ordinary tricks of climbing and beg
ging are dispensed with, the monkeys
are set to fighting and bets are made by
the owner with any Of the spectators
who are so inclined as to which monkey
will win.
The owners bets are freely taken,
and they rarely go against him. The
result is that where under the old
method he would probably receive few
nickles be now receives dollars.
Yesterday o reporter watched the
man with the monkeys for nearly an hour
in front of the new City Hall, where he
was surrounded by large crowd who
were freely contributing their quarters,
halls and dollars to the Golfers OF the

She fought hard, and managed
to break loose from his clutches and ran
down the road toward South Riverside

Serious Danger

Threatens every man, woman or child living
in region of country where lever and ague is
prevalent, since the germs OF malarial diseases
are inhaled from the air and are swallowed
from the water of such region Medicinal
safeguard is absolutely necessary to nullify
this danger. AS means of fortifying and ac-
climating the system so as to be able to resist
the malarial poison, Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers is incomparably the best and the most
popular. Irregularities of the stomach, liver
and bowels encourage malaria: but these are
speedily rectifed by the Bitters. The func
tions of digestion and secretion are assisted by
its use, and vigorous as well as regular con-
tuition and physique are thus defended against
the inroads of malaria by this matchless pre-
ventive which is also certain and thorough
remedy in the worst cases OF intermittent and
remittent feyers.
