PENSION BUREAU SENSATION.
Commissioner Raum Tells His Clerks That
They Must Not Gamble.


They Must Not Gamble.
Quite sensation was created in the Pension
Bureau last week by tho posting of the follow
ing notice in conspicuous places throughout the
Pension Bureau building:
1T has been reported to the Commissioner
that . few persons employed in this Bureau arc
in the habit of visiting the gambling resorts
located at Jackson City, Va, during office
hours. Hereafter persons known to visit these
disreputable places will be recommended for
dismissal upon the ground that such conduct
is calculated to bring dscredit upon the per-
sonnet of the Office. GREEN b. RAUM,
Commissioner"
The clerks in the Office kicked about this
order, and some of them say it is a reflection
upon the nitro force. "If the Commissioner
knows anything about this matter" said one
clerk to tho writer, he knows what clerks go
to Jackson City, and instead of insulting the
whole force of Pension Office employees by post
ing this notice, he ought to have called the few
persons he speaks Of before him. warned them,
and not have placed stigma upon every en-
ploye Of the Pension Bureau, as he has done by
this action"
Gen. Raum says that he took this action for
the good of tho employees of his Bureau. and
a large number of clerks think that the Com
missioner acted wisely when he issued tho
order.

complaint was filed last week with tho In
terstate Commerce Commission in Washington,
of unjust discrimination in passenger rates.
The complainant is Thomas V. Gator, of San
Francisco, Cal, and the defendants are tho
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific Railway
companies. Mr. Gator alleges that when the
Republican and Democratic National Conven-
| tions were held in June last at Minneapolis
and Chicago, respectively, delegates from the
State of California were carried over the rail-
ways of the defendants from San Francisco and
other points in California at an agreed reduced
rate amounting, it is alleged, to about one-half
the regular rates charged for travel from San
Francisco to Omaha.
When in July last. the Peoples Party held
| their Convention at Omaha to nominate candi-
dates for the Presidency and Vicc-Presidency,
and the delegates from California to the Omaha
Convention applied to tho same lines of rail

quarter of the regular duty, which is one cent

November and reduced import duties until

MORE NEW VESSELS.
The Navy Department Asks for Proposal
for a Dattlcship and Cruiser.

The Navy Department Asks for Proposals
for Dattlcship and Cruiser.
Under the authority conferred by the last
Naval appropriation bill providing for the con-
structiop of two new vessels for the Navy, one
a sea going battleship of 5000 tons dispace-
ment, and ono an armed cruiser OF 5000 tons
displacement, proposals were last week issued
by the Navy Department for their construc-
ton.
The proposals require that all armor, armor-
bolts and their accessories for use in the con-
strGcton of the vessels, excepting such as may be
required for the protective decks, are to be fur
nished by the Government, but the contractor
is TO furnish all rivets and other fastenings.
The contract for the construction Of the sea-
going battlcship must contain provisions to tho
effect that the contractor guarantees that when
completed and tested for speed, in the open sea-
under conditions to be prescribed by the Navy
Department. the speed developed by the vessel
upon such trial shall not be less than al aver
age Of 16 knots per hour, maintained success
lively for four consecutive hours, during which
period the air pressure in the fre-room shall
not exceed an average of an inch OF water, and
for every quarter knot of speed SO developed
above the guarantee, the contractor shall re-
ceive premium, over and above the contract
price, at the rate of $50, 600; and for every
quarter knot that tho vessel fails Of reaching
the guaranteed speed (16 knots deductions on
account of such failure to be made from the
contract price at the rate of $25 900 per quarter
knot.
Tho contract for the construction Of the
cruiser requires that she must develop n speed
Of not less than 90 knots. under the same con-
ditions as are prescribed for the battleship,
with premium allowance of 5000 for every
quarter knot above the required speed, aud a
corresponding deduction for every quarter knot
she falls short Of the guaranteed speed. Each
vessel must be completed within three years
from the date of tho contract, and proposals
must include the construction of both the YES
sci and her machinery complete in all respects.

While eating he engaged in conversation with
two other comrades, and when he was through
he walked out with them, and being very
much interested in their talk, forgot to pay
check of 45 cents which the waiter had given
him. He did no. notice this check, which he
had put under . shawl-strap, until he was

But he did not propose to beat the restaurant

A woman burglar is the latest innovation in
Washington's criminal category, and the detect.
ives are on the lookout for colored female
who has committed dopredations in several
houses in this city within the past two weeks.
Her latest job was performed on the residence
of.A. A. Connolly, at 1905 Ninth street north
west, on Friday, Oct. z. The woman had piled
up quantity of goods and was making ready
to take them away, when one of the slumbering
inmates Of tho house was awakened. The bold
burglar seeing that she was discovered, made
hasty exit, taking pocket book containing
small sum Of money, leaving the other things
piled on the floor. One Of the old detectives said
that this is the second regular female burglar
on record in Washington. The first was Sarah
Nichols also colored, who used TO dress in mems
clothes, and assist Wash. Meredith, Jim Curtis,
aud George Briscoe in their HOUSEKEEPING jobs
several years ago. Her picture is now i'll the
rogues gallery here. The men she operated
with were noted burglars Meredith was killed
in Baltimore, Brscoe is doing time in the
penitentiary for HOUSEKEEPING, and Curtis is
operating, it is believed, somewhere in the
East.

Cures Others

Will cure You, is a true statement OF the
action Of AYERS Sarsaparilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure
blood; but, while this assertion is true OF
AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can
attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to
other preparations, which unprincipled
dealers will recommend, and try to i'm
pose upon you, as Gust as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, if you need blood-puri6er
and would be benefited permanently.
This medicine. for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed reputation, and made
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AYERS
Sarsaparilla eradicates the faint OF he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis.
eases from the system, and it has, deser'
vedly, the confidence Of the people.

Russian Eurtal Customs.

The peculiar burial customs OF Russia
make it very easy for disease and illness
to be spread broadcast over the land. The
burial of a nurse who had died from
cholera at Mini Novgorod recently, is a
typical instance OF the strange procedure.
The funers. was attended by the governor
OF the town, the officials, and the whole
stat, of the hospital. The coffin lid, as is
usual, was carried by the sisters in front
OF the coffin, in which lay the corpse, ex-
posed to the glaring rays OF the noontide
sun. A procession from the barge in
which the funeral party were conveyed
from the floating hospital to the cemetery
was formed OF priests and mourners, the
coffin being carried by friends and rela-
tives. Arrived at the church, the service
was held, and then the coffin was taken
to the graveside. Here the lid was
screwed on, and the interment was COM
pleted. During the service all the
mourners kissed the dead body.
