1t has been charged that no pen
sion certificates have been issued
under the dependent pension law
of June 27, 1890, since the present
Administratio came into power.
In rofutation Of the charge a state
ment has been prepared by the Pen
sion Bureau showing that between
April l last, when the present ad-
ministration OF the bureau took
formal direction Of its affairs, and
July l, II ,044 original certificates
of all kinds were issued. Of these
1854 were invalid certificates under
the dependent pension law, and
9,034 widows certificates under
said law, making a total of II ,307
original certificates issued under
the act in question during the first
three months OF the present Adj
ministration. It is also shown that
there were issued 1859 additional
pensions under the act mentioned,
making a grand total OF 1875 GER
tifcatcs issued under the depend
ent act OF June 27, 1890, during the
first three months Of the new ad-
ministration.

"THE Pension Bureau is not
dropping any names from the rolls
SIMPLY because the proof is deemed
insufficient" said Commissioner
Lochren recently "a man is al
ways given a chance to plead his
cause. If in the opinion Of the
board of revision, pension in any
instance, has been improperly
granted, the man is notified and
given sixty days in which to file
additional proof Of the justice of
his claim. This will explain why
there has been apparently so small
a number OF pensioners dropped.
While the board Of revision has
been in existence FIVE or six weeks,
it began active and constant work
only a little more than woek ago.
In all OF these cases sixty days
must elapse before final action is
taken. 1t will be somewhere in
the neighborhood of September be-
fore the removals are sufficiently
numerous to deserve special atten-
ton. By that time, however, it
is expected that the work of cleans
ing the lists of illegal petitioners
will be in full swing. The inten-
ton Of the Department is to mete
out exact justice in the matter. 1t
goes upon the principle that If a
man is entitled to pension he
ought to have it, and if he is not so
entitled he has no business on the
rolls"

WE don't understand why SO
many Of our contemporaries are
manifesting so much interest in
Tennessee's showing at the World s
Fair. Recently several have pub
lished a lengthy editorial on the
subject, and singularly enough,
they were all in the same identical
words, and the same article ap-
peared short time previous in the
Memphis Appeal-Avalanee. 1t is
none of our business if Tennesse
has fallen short of her duty in this
matter; we should only be the more
proud of what our State has done.
We are rather inclined though to
accuse these editors of being guilty
ot the oarelessness of not reading
this article before applying the scis-
sors to it, rather than intentional
plagiary Or lack Of home pride, as it
was introduced by what a CORES
pondent had to say OF the Arkansas
exhibit. Either one is bad enough,
however.

Bob INGERsoLL thinks the string
ency of the times could be vastly
relieved if penurious people would
relax their purse strings and prac-
tice the manly art OF spendthritt.
Money tied up in sacks is valueless
to the holder, and an injustice to
the community at large. Money,
like blood, is useless unless in cir
culation.

IT rsounds queer to American ears
that the heir presumptive to the

compelled by his royal relatives
to abandon bis wife and two chill

from q political point of view.

IT is said that the silver question
is likely to cut quite az important
figure in the matter OF the many
Presidential nominations which
are yet to be confirmed by the SEN
ate. Ordinarily such nominations
are promptly confirmed, the excep-
tions being limited to eases where
Senator claims to have been por-
sonalIy aggrieged and, under the
freemasonary Of that body, calls
upon his associates fer support. III
the present instance, howevor, it is
predicted that tho silver Senators
will use their powers ef oon6rma-
tion or rejection as q means OF get
ting back at" the Executive. They
are said to be making careful study
of the financial beliefs Of the men
whose nam es are yet to come before
their and to have determined to
withhold their approval from such
as are infaxibIe mouometailisls, be-
lieving that IN this way they will
be able to cause considerable yeXa-
tion in the neigbborhood OF the
White House, eyen if thev arc un-
able to materially. alter financial

LEGISLATION is COSTLY.

In calling an extra session Of
Congress the cost TO the Govern
nent attached thereto should have
been no small consideration
The extra session Of Congress
will take out of the impoverished
treasury u big sum in cash.
Though many oI the expenses Of
the national legislature run OF dur.
ing It's absence from Washington
they jump to 8 maximum whom il
is in session. TO make laws costs
Uncle Sam big piles Of money an

900 extra tor mileage, To help
them transact their busin ess they re-
quire small army of CLERKS, door
keepers, bookkeepers, pages, mes
sengers, etc. The salary list for
these assistants runs up to $780,
600. This does rot include the
Office Of the scrgeant-at-arms, which
is a sort OF bank through which the
salaries OF the Representatives are
paid. To run this financial insti-
tuition an outlay Of $4,000 more is
needed. An additional $4,000

ABSOLUTELY PURE
REV. MR. MARBLE ASSAULTED.
INVADE THE EPISCOPAL REC.
TORY AT BRIDGEPORT.
A Daring Attempt to Rob.

"A sensational assault and attemp-
ted robbery took place Wednesday
night of last week, in Upper Merton
township, near Norristown, as a result
of which Rev. A. A. Marble, rector Of
Old Swedes' Episcopal Church, is con.
fined to his bed. DR.. Marple, in com
pany with his wife, daughter and
niece, Miss Shipman, was sitting in
the dining room of his residence, read
ing, when, shortly after 9 o'clock,
heavy footsteps were heard on the
porch, and an instant later the front
door was pushed open and two men
entered.
The face Of each intruder was COW
cred with an improvised mask formed
Of pocket handkerchief, which COM
ple,ely covered the features. One
man carried sand bag, with which
he made several passes at Mrs. Mar
pie, while his companion covered hef
with a revolver. When the men first
entered the room Miss Marple had an
idea it was practical Joke OF some of
the neighbors, but sight of the revol-
yer quickly convinced her to the con
trary.
DIR. MARBLE KNOCKED DOWN.
DR.. Marple picked up his daughters
chair to defend himself with, but be.
fore he could make use of It was
struck heavy blow between the eyes
with the butt of the intruder's revolver,
which felled him to the floor and par
TALLY stunned him. Miss MARBLE in
tine meantime had run upstairs for a
revolver, which she proceeded to fire
out of the window, while Miss Ship
man helped to arouse the neighbors
| by scieaming and ringing the dinner
bell
This had the effect of frightening
the robbers, who made good their es-
cape before the neighbors arrived, one
OF them first ordering Mrs. Marple to
lock the door after him, request
with which she complied.
THE COUNTRY SEARCHED.
AS soon as the neighbors arrived a
search party was organized numbering
about fifty, which thoroughly covered
the surrounding country in the vain
hope of apprehending the perpetrators
Of the outrage. According to the tes-
timony OF both Mrs. and Miss Mayple
the intruders were well dressed in dark
clothes, with cutaway coats and low
cut vests, were above the average
height and evidently young.
The wound on DR.. Marbles fore
head was found to be an ugly but not
serious one. There was no fracture
of the bone, but the flesh mad been
laid bare to the skull for a space Of
two inches, and the effects of the
shock were necessarily severe.
This is the third time that an at
tempt has been made to rob the rec.
tory, and the members of the church
are thinking of offering reward for
the capture of the latest nocturnal
visitors. 1t Is supposed that the men
are identical with two who came to
Swedeland on Reading Railroad
freight train Wednesday afternoon,
and who made some inquiries concern
ing the rectory of some Of those
around the railroad. Mrs. MARBLE Is
sister OF l. W., Chas. W., and J. b.
McKelvy.
