PENSION oEr1cE scANpAn.
Tho Son of Commissioner Rnum Specu-
lated In Onices--Eorced to Offer His
Resignation.

Tho Son of Commissioner Rnum Specu-
lated in Onices--Eorced to Offer His
| Resignation.
| WASHINGTON, d. c., May 15.-Pension
| Commissioner Raum's son, Green b.
Raum, Jr., has been compelled to resign
his place as assistant chief clerk of the
! pension office, to which his father az
| pointed him. For the sake of Young
Raum's wife his resignation will not be
construed as taking effect until June 10th.
| Young Ralm is charged with taking 5000
| for getting a South Carolinian named
| Smith into the pension Office as clerk
and with afterward helping him to get q
| promotion by getting another pension
office clerk to personate Smith in the Civil
! Service Commission examination. Also
| with appropriating to his own use So re-
turned by pensioner to the pension office
as an overpayment.
He denied the charges, but Secretary
Noble before going west, demanded his
resignation for his completely in the
Smith affair, and the acting secretary,
when he discovered this morning the S72
matter, promptly accepted the resignation
which young Ralun had handed in.
Commissioner Ralm is exonerated by
the interior department from any personal
connection with his sons misdoings, but
the loose state of affairs in his office re.
vealed by this investigation will aid Sec
rotary Noble to procure his dismissal. He
ought to have known what he did not
know in this case.
1t is stated that Smith advertised for a
government position which would pay
him not less than $50 per month, and the
advertisement was replied to by a colorcd
man who is employed in the treasury de-
partment and who had been connected in
domestic capacity with the Raum family.
This man Informed the advertiser of his
ability to secure him the coveted position;
bargain was made, Smith was introduced
to young Raum, he was recommended and
appointed and afterward paid the colored
man the 5000, the greater portion of which,
he asserts, he paid to young Raum, though
the latter denies it. Then Smith wanted
promotion to a 81 200 clerkship, and Clerk
Jackson was procured to personate him on
the civil service examination. The matter
got to the ears of Secretary Noble, and
both Smith and Jackson were dismissed at
the same time that he demanded young
Raum's resignation.
Young Raum is handsome easy-going
fellow who began to be extravaganza after
his marriage Is months ago to Philadel-
phia girl. lie has lived far beyond his
means ever since, ran into debt in his des-
peration, begun to make money out of his
office, and it came out in Cooper's inyesti-
CATION of his father that young Raum kept
pair of bloodcd horses in the office
stables at government expense. He has
gone TO Philadelphia to try TO recoup his
fortunes.

ENGL4yD.s THRONE SAFE.
The Duchess Of Fife Gives Birth to
POhsiblo SucnesAor.

LONDON, May t7.-The Duchess Of
Fife gave birth to n daughter about 5
o'clock Sunday morning at the dukes
residence, Sheen House, London. The
Princess of Wales, the mother Of the
duchess, was present, and the Prince of
Wales and the Duke of Clarence arrived
in the afternoon. The queen wired her
congratulations to the duchess and
asked for continuous bulletins from the
lying-in room. Both mother and child
are doing well.
The Times, referring to the birth of a
daughter to the Duchess Of Fife, who
is a granddaughter of Queen Victoria,
says "When we remember the train of
events that led to the succession of
Queen Victoria, we may be allowed the
supposition that the new born may be-
come queen. 1t is matter for re-
ioicing that the succession is thus early
provided for for another generation"
Mr. Matthews, the home secretary,
was in attendance at Sheen House this
morning in order to certify to the birth
of the child.

for the latter, which was drifting down

Italian Fruit Vendors.

A comparatively new thing is the
Mutual Beneficial Association OF the
Italian fruit vendors. Each member pays
a small monthly sum into the association,
and in return receives 81 a week when he
is too i'll to turn the crank of a peanut
rooster. The association also undertakes
to further the common interests OF It's
members in various ways. The general
public knows little of the street fruit
vender, and probably thinks him a pen
niless wretch, whose days and nights are
given up to tedious and Improbable toll.
As a matter of fact, the business, though
trying by reason of long hours and ex'
posure to weather, is more profitable than
many trades requiring greater skill. The
Italian newspapers TEEN with advertise
ments of corner fruit stands for sale, and
the goodwill of a we'll established fruit
business fetches a considerable sun The
outdoor life nece5sitated by the business
is much less trying to the Italians than to
people of most other nationalities, be-
cause the Italians come to the United
States with the ~open-air habit fully
formed; and even when their business
does not necessitate it, they do their best
to initiate here this feature of Italian
life. Only the coolest and wettest
weather keeps the inhabitants of Little
Italy indoors, and ordinarily the side
walks in that region swarm with people
busted in their daily vocations.-Ne

WISE WORDS.

There is value in experiment.
Woman IS loveliest in womanly at
tire.
Men make laws, women make man.
ners.
There is something of woman in every
thingthat pleases.
With time and patience the mulberry
leaf becomes satin.
The greatest evidence of demoraliza-
ton is the respect paid to wealth.
One cannot imagine how much clever
ness Is necessary not to be ridiculous.
A woman whose ruling passion is not
vanity is superior to any man of equal
capacity.
A woman would be in despair il ma
ture had formed her as fashion makes
her appear.
One should conquer the world, not to
enthrone a man, but an idea; for ideas
exist forever.
There are three things that women
throw away-their time, their money
and their health.
The change of fashion is the tax that
the industry of the poor leyies on the
vanity of the rich.
The wealthiest one is the one who is
most economical; the poorest, the one
who is most misery.
The error of certain women is to
imagine that to acquire distinction they
must initiate the manners of men.
One of the Illusions is that the present
hour is not the critical, decisive hour.
Write it on your heart that every day is
the best day of the year.
The great desiderata of humanity still
remain these: to preserve the integrity
Of. nature, the purity Of sentiment and
the conference of thought.
Cast forward the eye of the spirit;
awake in your souls the imaginative
power, which carries forth what is fair
est, what is highest life, away beyond
the stars.
Critics, therefore, are teachers, and il
is their mission to elevate the standard
of morals and taste. In writing down
to the dead level of opinion, they pro-
duce ~incalculable mischief By confirming

stIn the common conception of the
public sagely observes q Chicago paper,
tall Italians are essentially one people,
and all are dubbed tdagoes,' but the lat
ter term, which originated, we believe,
in New Orleans, really applies only to
Eicilians.n There is no reason, lectures
the Chicago Post, using this misstatement
for a text, why ignorance should insult
good taste. "Dago' (of which the
plural is written "dagoss," not stdagos')
is a corruption of Diego, the Spanish
form OF james. San Diego or st. James
is among south European nations the
patron saint of sailors. English sailors
caught up the name from the lips of their
Spanish, Portuguese and Italian mates
centuries ago and perverted it into the
easier form t'dago." There is, prop
erlY speaking, ne offense in the word.
Columbus was himself a "dago," for
Genoa is as much s. Mediterranean sea-
polt as Palermo.
