The custom of smoking during church
service was not confined to the laity and
minor clergy, for it is recorded that an
archbishop of York wal once reproved
by the vicar of st. Mary's, Nottingham,
for attempting to smoke in the church
vestry.
The Rev. John Disney, of Swinderley,
in Lincolnshire, writing on the 18th Of
December, 1878, to James Granger,
says: 1.-The affair happened in st. Mary's
church, Nottingham, when Archbishop
Blackburn was there on a visitation.
The archbishop had ordered some of the
apparitors or other attendants to bring
him pipes and tobacco and some liquor
into the vestry for his refreshment after
the fatigue of confirmation. And this
coming to Mr. Disney's ears he forbade
their being brought thither; and with a
becoming spirit demonstrated with the
archbishop upon the. improperly of his
conduct, at the same time telling his
grace that his vestry should not be con
verted into a smoking room.-An the

Origin of the Lone Star.

Colonel j. f. Troutman, of Fort VAL
ley, Ga, a courtly gentleman of the old
school, gave this interesting history:
About 1885 Captain Mirabeau B. Lamar
organized a Georgia company, of which
Justice Lamar, of the supreme court,
was a member, to go to Texas to fight
for her independence against Mexico
AS this company passed through Knox
vile, Ga, Miss Johanna Z. Troutman,
sister of the colonel, then a beautiful
girl of eighteen, presented the company
with a silk flag, embellished only with
the Lone Star" the flag and the en-
blem being her own conception. This
Georgia company distinguished itself
for bravery, and was allowed to retain
two specimens of plate, a huge silver
spoon and fork of antique design, cap
tured from Santa Anna.
When the Lone Star was adopted and
placed on the seal of the state Of Texas
this company, by unanimous vote. at the
instance of Captain Lamar, presented to
Miss Troutman these articles of silver
plate in honor of being the author of the
Lone Star emblem. Captain Lamar was
afterward one of the presidents of the
Texas republic, and in his honor Lamar
county was named in 1910. Miss Trout
man afterward married a Mr.. Pope of
Montgomery, Ga, and died a few years
since, leaving son 81. B. Pope, who
now lives at Rome, Ga, and has in his
possession these two pieces of unique
silver given to his mother.-Dallas

About half past II one night the con
cierge, in delivering a letter at the door
of M. Meilhac, noticed that the entrance
hall was full of smoke, and that flames
were issuing from a wooden panel. He
immediately alarmed the other families
in the building and sent for the firemen
stationed at the ministry of marine,
who were quickly Oh the spot. The
flames were extinguished without great
difficulty.
In the course of the excitement NJ.
Meilhac proved himself to be a philos-
opher as well as a talented librettist.
On being told of the fire he asked
whether the pompiers had been sum

OMAHA, March 3l.-A special to the

Mr.. RAUM IS PARTISAN
BE Went After the Democratic
Pension Examiners,
And They Had to Step Right
Down and Out.
Why he Gave Up $5,000,000
to the Treasury.
And Didn't Reply to Democratic
Pension Claimants.
Closely Questioned.

WASHINGTON. March 3l.-The pen
sion Office investigation took a decidedly
political cast this afternoon, Enloe pur-
suing a searching inquiry for a long time.
He asked if the bureau was not used for
political purposes. The commissioner
said he never wrote q letter to a medical
board OF examiners requesting the per-
formance of any political act, but if he
found examiners using their places to aiG
the democratic party he would call them
in. In assigning men to the field he made
it a point to know their politics.
He denied that more appointments
we're made in doubtful districts just before
elections than other times, or that more
pensions were granted in districts where
votes we're needed than where they were
not 80 much needed. Enloe asked if the
Office did not adjudicate claims most rap
idly in close congressional districts. Raum
denied this emphatically. Enloe wanted
to know why it was in states where there
was a democratic majority it was exceed
iugly difficult to get a call for status az
swered. let alone get a case adjudicated.
The commissioner replied that the calls
averaged about 1000 a day this session
and latterly they had been increasing so
that not more than 25 per cent could be
answered without stopping deciding
claims. Had he not stopped the practice
he would probably have issued rs, 200 less
certificates tban last year.
Enloe asked if the real reason the com
missioner turned over IS, 900 900 TO the
treasury last summer was not because the
treasury was reduced to financial straits.
Raum SAID be had balances reported at
the close of the fiscal year, and as he
couldn't use them next year he called on
the secretary of the treasury and informed
him he could transfer IS, 900 900. The
secretary said he would be glad if it were
done, and the commissioner gave the
necessary directions.

Many New England farms are known
to the people in the surrounding country
by thn names Of former owners, who
perhaps moved away or died many years
ago. Martin Baker came from york
state" to live on a fine old Vermont
farm.
The farm had belonged to his cousin,
another Baker, and the present owner
was c~ultivating it, as he said, "to the
very top of the notch"
he painted a sign for the barn, which
announced to all beholders hat this was
Mountain View Farm" but to his dis
gust he heard his new property spoken
of On every hand as eth old Bachelor
place"
His patience was greatly tried by this
fact, and at last he broke out in a rage
one day when a farmer who lived a
short distance from him was explaining
to a newcomer that he, Martin Baker,
was a man who was 'ixin up tn old
Bachelor place an callated t hev 1t
