sam's Generosity.
WASHINGTON, November 30.-The an
nual report of Green B. Raum, Commits
sioner of Pensions, shows there were on
the pension rolls June 80, 1892, S76,068
pensioners, an increase during the year
of 199,90S. There were added to the
rolls during the year, 222, ,S73 new PEN
sioners, and 2477 pensioners previously
dropped were restored to the list. Dur
ing the year 23,306 pensioners were
dropped from the rolls. The total
amount expended for pensions during
the fiscal year was $139, ,035, ,612; for the
present fiscal year, $144, ,956, 600 are ap-
propriated, and taking the cost of PEN
sion allowances during the first five
months of this fiscal year as basis of
calculation, the commissioner estimates
that a deficiency appropriation of $10,-
5GS,621 will be necessary to supplement
this years appropriation. An estimate
of $l65, 900, 900 is submitted for the next
fiscal year.
During the past fiscal year, 224, 047 GER
tificates were issued in original cases and
79, ,7S1 in increase claims. Commissioner
Raum thinks that if this policy is pur-
sued until the close of the fiscal year
1894, the adjudication of original claims
will be substantially completed and, at
the close of 1894, the highest number of
pensioners ever to be on the rolls will
have been placed there. There are 49,
SIG original claims pending, of which
100000 are apparently complete. As a
rule the pension claimants are greatly in
need of money. The report says the
number of claims of all kinds pending
October 12, 1892, was 7SS. .O61, of which
1853, 434 were filed under the disability
act The revolutionary and 1912 war
rolls are rapidly dwindling. Only 20
widows and two daughters of Revolu-
tionary veterans are on the former roll.
The survivors of the war of 1912 on the
rolls now number only 1855, against 2S4 a
year ago. Mr.. Raum states that the
work of the office was very far in arrears
when this administration took charge of
the bureau Of pensions, while today the
business is as nearly current as it can be
made.

OUTSIDERS DO THE WRONG.
Postal Employees Make a Good Record for
the Past Year.


WASHINGTON, November 30.-The an
nual report of Chief Post Office Inspector
Wheeler made to the fourth assistant
postmaster general shows that the total
number of arrests made for all kinds of
offences during the year was 1884. Of
this number, 231 were postal employees.
There were in the service January 80,
1892, 1S4, ,431 persons in all the grades.
Of the cases tried, 373 resulted in con-
viction and 81 in acquittal. The number
of burglars of post Offices arrested was
203 against 178 last year. One thousand
one hundred and eight post offices were
reported entered during the year. Six
thousand and twenty-nine complaints of
all kinds were received during the year,
S77 less than last year. OF the COM
plants, 5S29 related to losses or other ir-
regularities in the treatment of regis
tered letters, and 200 to packages of
third and fourth-class NATTER 2618 COM
plants of rifling were received; 1852 of
absolute loss; 81 of detention; 139 of
wrongful delivery; eight of tampering
with letters; 72 miscellaneous. Three
thousand eight hundred and two of
these complaints were investigated and
reported upon, and the cases finally
closed. In 2495 cases, no loss was found
to have occurred, and in 1900 the cause
of complaint was groundless. Of the
1902 cases investigated, 1907 were found
to be based on well founded complaints,
and actual loss resulted. Only 205 losses
were traceable to dishonesty, and 297 to
the carelessness of postal employees.

A House Of Glass.

In the city Of Dinard, in the depart
ment Of Ille-et-Vllaine, France, there
lives Q man distinguished both for bis
originality Of idea and for the fulIness Of
his money bags, says the Chicago Herald.
He has been speaking and teaching for .
long time upon the necessity Of men be-
ginning to lead lives Of greater purity, 80
that they need not be afraid Of having all
their deeds under the incessant svpeFvis-
ion Of society. He 10 willing 10 submit
to the trial and wants to end others to do
the same. He has determined TO have .
three-story house built Of glass. A dwell
ing Of such transparency would not only
allow its inhabitants ct all times Q splen-
did prospect In every direction upon the
beautiful country surrounding the place,
but also expose the minutest details Of
the daily life Of the people in the house to
the inspection Of the entire city. The
originator Of the idea has found an aEchi.
tect willing to build the house on con.
dition Of payment In advance. But there
is no renting agent who will take the
agency for It. II It IL to be q lodging
house for bachelors, they say. they may
be able to do something with Il, but they
cannot flnd . female, they think, who
would be content to live in glass house.
Nevertheless the old gentleman Is deter
