Life In India.

Fancy an enormous house rambling
out into series of immense rooms, all
on one floor, piazzas 20 feet deep, i'm
mense chambers, in the middle Of which
stand the beds, doors and windows wide
open, the grounds filled with palms, ba-
nanas and all sorts Of tropical trees, the
song Of birds, the chirp Of insects every
where, and dazzling sun blazing down
on the Indian ocean in front.
A dozen or more husky Hindoo serv-
ants, barefooted, dressed In white, with
bright sashes around their waists and
bright turbans on their heads, are NOV
ing about everywhere, as still as cats,
and with no endbf devotion to their lit
tie duties. One Of them seems to have
nothing to do butte look after me. He
has worked over my limited wardrobe
till he knows every shirt and collar bet
ter than do myself.
He is now brushing my hat for the
twentieth time this morning. The life
is luxurious. Quantities Of delightful
fruit. cool loungng places with luxuri-
GUS chairs, a sumptuous breakfast (or
s.tiffin," as we call it here), and dinner
table, and no end of kind attention. /
am writing in my room on the day be-
fore Christmas, as if it were rather
hot August morning at home. Century.

Lived a Lie for Years.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA letter has been
received by the Commissioner from pen
sioner. returning his certificate, and stating
that he did so for the reason that for 10 years
he had lived lie; that he was not entitled to
the pension which he received, for the reason
that the disability (gunshot wound of left
wrist for which he was pensioned was selt-in-
hicted, i. e., he states that he shot himself
for the purpose of getting discharge from
the army, and not for the purpose of getting
a pension; but that he afterwards concluded
to make application for pension; that this
was granted originally some Is years ago for
SIS per month; that it was subsequently raised
to Sl2 upon application for increase, then to
$l4 and finally to ST. per month, the pension
which he is now receiving. The writer states
hat it has been long and bitter struggle be-
tween his sense of right and his cupidity, but
that finally his sense of right has triumphed,
and that he desires to return his certificate,
which he did, and asked to be dropped from
the rolls.
The pensioner states in his letter that he'll
poor and not able to reimburse the Govern
ment for the money which he has received,
and that he throws himself upon its mercy.
He closes his letter with these words:
"God bless the Salvation Army"
Acting Commissioner Murphy said today
that he believed this was case where mercy
should be shown. The man had evidently
repented Of his misdoing and reformed, and,
so far as he was concerned, he would not
prosecute him. He only hoped that other
pensioners drawing illegal pensions would
''do likewise

Middlesborough Bankrupt.

MIDDLEsBoRouGH, KENTUCKY, Oct. 23-
This town, which British capitalists have
made desperate attempt TO build into a
manufacturing city at an outlay perhaps I'M
precedented in such enterprises, has bank
rupted its projectors. The corporation which
practically owns it, the American Association,
limited, Of London, was sued in the Federal
Court by the Central Trust Company of New
York to foreclose a mortgage of nearly a
million and a half dollars. J. II. Bartlett OF
Middesborough and Clarence Cary of New
York were appointed receivers. The Ameri-
can Association, Limited, owns about 100,-
600 acres in and about MiddlesbOrough, ex-
tending into Virginia and Tennessee.
The town was founded at Cumberland Gap
in 1888. The lands cost only about So an
acre. But there were rich deposits of coal
and iron in the mountains on every hand,
and it was thought it would be easy to build
up great city.
Money was lavishly spent, water works
were built at an outlay Of 100000 and the
city grew to Il, 900 inhabitants, but when the
Barring failure stopped the supplies of money
from London the population and trade fell
of. Now there are not 1000 people here and
lots which at one time sold for $500 foot
are not now salable at any price.
The English stockholders have had ii Mr..
Graham named as receiver Tor them. They
owe no money in England.

MEssRs. EDIToRs Here we are again,
after the longest vacation in ten years, and it
dose seem as though we had been away
yeas or two. if the weed growth were any
criterion to form conclusion from. My
garden was covered with weeds much higher
than mans head, excepting small patch
that Friday had cleared up and planted to
seeds for tall garden, which are now growing
nicely. | have just finished working the
plot. also cut down the weeds on the re
mainder fearing that some one would post
nutice ITO Let and 'sLet 1t, too, and
be none the wiser. We made a run home
from Baltimore to PalaIka lust hours
late, caused by a washout between Washing
ton and Quantico. We had to go to Rich
mond, via Virginia Midland and Chesapeake
and Ohio lines. Five hours late to break
fast, five hours late for dinner, etc. Signs of
the storm were plentiful all along the line
until we reached Jacksonville, Florida. On
nearing Savannah, we are reused out of an
after breakfast nap by the cry, 'papers,
please" Upon inquiry as to what papers,
we are informed health certificate, ETC., and
from then to Jacksonville our health papers
are called for more often than our railroad
tickets, and we just had to have them too.

weeds from the cabbage lands. Some few
have finished and are setting out the plants.
The acreage planted to cabbage this season
will be large, and most of the growers are
planting early and will cut for market from
the middle of February to the middle of
March.
Oranges are beginning to color, but are
not sweet yet, although the consumers say
they want them and growers are forwarding,
