The THREE LITTLE CHAIRS.


They sat alone by the bright wood fire,
The gray haired dame and the aged sire,
Dreaming OF days gone by;
The tear-drops fall on each aged cheek:
They both had thoughts that thew could no
speak,
AS each heart uttered a sigh
For their sad and fearful eyes decried
Three little chairs placed side by side
Against the sitting-room wall;
Old-fashioned enough as there they stood
Their seats OF flag and their frames Of wood,
With their backs so straight and tall
Then the sire shook his silyery head,
And with trembling voice he gently said:
Mother, those empty chairsl
They bring US such sad, sad thoughts tonight
Wen put them forever out Of sight,
In the small dark room upstairs"
But she answered: Father, no, not yet;
For look at them and forget
That the children went away,
The boys come back, and our Mary, too,
With her apron on Of checkered blue,
And sit here every day.
" Johnny still whites ships tall masts,
And Willie his leaden bullets casts,
While Mary her patchwork sews;
Atevening time three childish prayers
Go up to God from those little chairs,
So softly that no one knows.
Johnny comes back from the billowy deep,
Willies wakes from his battlefield sleep
To say goodnight to me;
Mary's wife and mother no more,
But a tired child whose play-time is DER
And comes to rest on my knee.
So, let them stand there, though empty now,
And every time when alone we bow
At Fathers throne to pray,
Wen ask to meet the children above
In our Saviour's home OF rest and love,
Where no child goeth away"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3o-One point
which is likely TO lead to the calling
of an extra session of congress in
March has been entirely overlooked in
the public discussion of the matter.
This is. that the Democrats would like
to have four more members of their
party in the senate when they vote on
their proposed tariff bill and can best
achieve this by admitting New Mexico
and Arizona at the earliest possible
moment. An extra session for that
purpose is therefore a probability.
While it is certain that the Republic
cans will be in the minority in the
senate of the Fifty-third congress. it
is not certain that the Democrats will
have a majority. BY the admission of
Arizona and New Mexico in the spring
the Democrats think that they can
count with certainty of having four
more senators of their faith by the
time they are ready to get together
again in the fall
The house at the last session passed
two bills for the admission Of these
territories and they are now in the
hands of the senate. If the senate
should pass them this winter this
Democratic argument for an extra
session in March would be disposed
of, but it is not expected that
the senate will take such action.
1t is proposed, therefore, that if New
Mexico and Arizona are not admitted
this winter congress be convened in
March to organize and act on these
two bills only, SO as to enable the two
states to organize and elect senators
before the time for the regular meet
ing of congress.
This situation has been called to the
attention of President Cleveland and
it is believed that he favors the plan
proposed, and will call special ses-
sion. The first development of the
plan is to have congress take recess
as soon as the necessary legislation for
the admission of the two states is dis
posed of and meet again in Septem-
Der or October, when the ways and
means committee shall have a tariff
bill ready for action, and have final
vote on the bill in the house by JAN
uary, 1894. 1t is urged that four
weeks will be long enough for the
spring session. and that the business
of congress will be SO advanced that
the first regular session can adjourn
by June, giving all the rest of the
summer for the members to rest and
campaign for reelection.

PENSIONS AND THEIR COST.
Statistics From the Annual Report Of
Commits ,joner Raum.

Statistics From the Annual Report Of
Commissioner Raum.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The annual
report of Green l. Raum, commission
er of pensions, made public to day,
shows that there were on the pension
rolls June 30 last, s76,O6S names. an
increase during the year of 100, 90s.
There were added to the rolls during
the year 222, a37 new names and 2,477
previously dropped were restored.
During the year %, 3O5 were dropped
from the rolls
The total amount expended for pen
sions during the fiscal year was $780,
O35,612. For the present fiscal year
Si44, CSC, 900 is appropriated and, TAX
ing the cost of the pension allowances
during the first four months of this
fiscal year as a basis of calculation, the
commissioner estimates that deficien-
CIV appropriation of $40, SOS, CPL will be
necessary to supplement this years
appropriations
An estimate of Sl65, 900. 900 is sub
mitted for the next fiscal year
But the commissioner says that if as
many allowances of pensions shall
be made during the fiscal year to come
as during the last, this amount will
not be large enough. He says, how
ever, that it is diff cult to forecast
pension paymenteso far in advance,
and that as congress will be in ses-
sion. no embarrassment will arise if
his successor. in the light of actual
cost of the work for the first six
months of the next fiscal year, finds
that further appropriation will be
needed
Under the dependent and disability
pension act go, 957 claims have been
filed, of which number 403. $50 have
been allowed. The pension payments
under the law up to September 80. 1899,
amounted to SO. 494, i43. The COM
missioner heartily commends the dis
ability act.

JOLIET, Ill, Dec. 1.-The Stone City
bank, a private institution, suspended
payment yesterday on account of a
run. caused by the shutting down of
the Enterprise company, one of the
departments of the big wire fence in
dustry. The bank is operated by II.
Fish i Sons and was thought TO be
one of the soundest financial institu-
tions in the state. The failure is a
heavy one
The trouble began with the Enter
prise company confessing judgments
for SlS3, lis, and filing trust deed to
Mrs. c. A. Miller for sl39,3ls. The
Fish brothers, sons of Henry Fish,
with Z. II. Connell, were the proprie
tors of the Enterprise company. and
the suspension of the bank of which
they were in control soon followed.
The deed to Mrs. Miller, who is a very
wealthy woman. is for money bor-
rowed to carry on the business. She
is an aunt of the Fish's who are also
related to Mrs John A. Logan. 1t is
estimated that nothing less than
$500, 600 will settle the firms affairs
The failure of the Enterprise is due, it
is announced, to the dull season in
trade.
Many of the business houses of
Joliet kept their accounts at the bank.
and its suspension will result in great
embarrassment to them The great
est sufferers however. will be the la
boring men. The bank paid interest
on deposits and large number OF the
mill employees entrusted it with their
savings. Now that they are out OF
work and money both, great hardsh fps
will result to them.
1t is not believed that the banks
condition is beyond resuscitation. but
only that its assets are temporarily
locked up. and there is every prospect
that its affairs will be Strengthened
out speedily. Its deposits ranged
from S4OO, coo to 100000.
