a SHREWD .CHURCHMAN.

He Doubled the Collection by Cornering
the Small Change in Town.
In the small town in the Midlands
there is rich congregation that is not
characterized by lavish liberality, says
the London Tid-Bits.
Time after time the minister had
vainly appealed to his people to contri-
butte more generously to the funds of
church. The members would, indeed,
give something, but it was nearly al
ways the smallest silver coin of the
realm that was placed on the plate.
A shrewd Scotchman who had re-
Gently come to the place and joined
the church was not long in noticing
this state of affairs, and remedy soon
suggested itself to his practical mind.
'I'll tell you what he said to one
of the officials. "If you max me treas
urer I'll engage to double the collec-
lions in three MONTHS
His offer was promptly accepted,
and sure enough the collection began
to increase, until by the time he had
stated they were nearly twice as much
as formerly.
"How have you managed it, Mr..
Sandyman?" said the pastor to him one
day.

RAID OF THE FLEAS.

Lively Insects Make Visit to Fashionable
Residents of Gotham.
New Workers have a plague. The
wicked flea has come to town. The
Fashionable district between Eighth
and Eighteen streets and Third and
Fifth avenues has been invaded by
heas.
They come not as single spies, says
the Morning Journal, but in battalions.
They have entered every mansion and
hotel in this large district. They meet
the house owner at the door. They
dance on the dinner table, hold con-
ferences on the sideboard and prone
made in the drawing-room. They take
maps in the bedrooms, swim in the
bath and train their muscles in the
gymnasium. Wherever the house
holder flies he finds feas.
1t is rumored that the feas were
brought to the district by wind from
Ellis island. A zephyr which passed
over some Russian immigrants on
Ellis island blew over the lower part
of the city and conveyed the feas to
Union square and vicinity. The feas
were so lively that it was thought they
came from France. In fact, they had
the vivacity of French feas.
Fleas reign throughout the entire
district, and their acrobatic feats are
the amusement and delight of many
spectators. They occupy the city
houses Of those who have gone to the
country. They make themselves ia
miliar with those who are still staying
in town. They are jolly, lively and
irrepressible. In fact, they are the
humorists of the insect world

HAMILTON IN BRONZE.
The Statue Recently Unveiled In
Brooklyn, N. 2.
One of the Best Works of william Ord
way Partridge, the Sculptor-In-
scriptions That Have Been
Placed on the Pedestal

The bronze statue OF Alexander
Hamilton, the work of William Ordway
Partridge, was unveiled with public
ceremonies in front of the Hamilton
clubhouse at Clinton and Remsen
streets, Brooklyn, October 4. George
M. Olcott, ex-president of the club,
made the speech of presentation, and
the statue was received by President
James McKeen. Johua M. Van Colt
made an address on Hamilton as a
statesman, and Gen. Stewart L. Wood
ford spoke of Hamilton as soldier.
The statue stands in front of the
clubhouse in Remsen street, halfway
between the entrance and the street
corner, just within the iron railing
surrounding the club property. A
solid foundation has been laid to sup
port the pedestal of marble, eight feet
in height, on which the statue, ten
feet in height, stands. The following
inscriptions have been placed upon the
PEDESTAL:

INCONTESTABLE POLICIES.

Life Insurance Companies Issue Them
Only in Europe and Central America.
The policies written by some of the
leading life insurance companies of
this country are incontestable for any
cause whatsoever. If policy holder
commits suicide Immediately after pay
ing his first premium, and before the
ink is dry on his policy, his heirs will
receive the money just the same. That
is because the companies know that
life is the most precious possession of
every individual, and that very few in
deed will throw it away in order to
benefit an heir. The Uncomfortable
clause" is found, however, only in the
American policies. Those issued to
Europeans, Central Americans and
South Americans do not have them.
One of the chief officials of leading
company recently said to reporter
for the New York Sun:
"All our foreign policies are written
subject to cancellation. 1t is true we
discover very little fraud among the
European policy holders, but that is
because their schemes are so clever we
cannot run them down. The chief
reason for our writing less liberal pol
icies abroad and in the southern por-
ton of this continent is, however, be-
cause wars are SO frequent and so liza
BILE to occur at any moment. Europe
is always on the brink of great war,
and If we should write incontestable
policies there we might be ruined any
time. In the Central and South Amer
lean states revolutions are in progress
all the time. If our policies were not
subject to cancellation there we should
be subjected to great losses continual

PIGEONS AND FALCONS.
The Latter Can Garry Greater Weight
and Make Better Time.

and Make Better Time.
Falconry may yet be restored, as it
seems, though not as sport, but as
part of the terribly serious business,
war. A Russian officer, Capt. Smoiloff,
has been tanning falcons to serve as
dispatch carriers. The falcon has sew
eral advantages over the carrier
pigeon, says the Westminster Ga
zette. Not only is he more warlike
bird than the meek cousin of the dove,
but he is swifter in flight and capable
of great endurance. The greatest
swiftness ever known to be attained
by the carrier pigeon is fifteen Ger
MANI miles an hour, but this is the
rate of the ordinary fight of the fall
con. D'Aubusson, in his work on 1.-THE
Falconry of the Middle Ages" tells
several anecdotes of the extraordinary
powers of the falcon and length and
swiftness of flight. For instance,
falcon which was sent from the Canary
islands to the duke of Lerma in Spain
made the return flight from Andalusia
to Teneriffe in sixteen hours, which
was at the express speed of sixteen
Germany miles to the hour. A Ger
man mile is not far short of five Eng
fish miles, so that the speed of this
falcon must have been at the rate OF
about seventy-fve miles an hour. A
further advantage of the falcon over
the pigeon is the greater weight which
it can carry. 1t is well known that a
very slight burden is an oppression to
the poor pigeon, so that dispatches are
reduced in size by Photographic copies,
in order to reduce the weight for the
feeble little carrier. Capt. Smoilof
says he has found that falcon can
carry weight of four Russian pounds,
or 1,64O grams Thirty CRANES go to our
ounce), without diminishing its power
or swiftness in flying. Besides, the
carrier pigeon may fall prey to the
falcon, while there is small danger of
any other bird taking the carrier fall
con prisoner.

Love Unrequited.
A touching story of tender love comes
to us from town not many miles from
this place, says a western exchange.
A beautiful girl became engaged to
gallant union officer. At the close OF
the war he went to California to seek
his fortune. She ignored all advances
from scores of suitors, and patiently
awaited his return, feeling confidence
in his keeping true love to her. The
years passed, and even a few gray hairs
began to show themselves among her
brown tresses, while her friends nc
longer pitied but ridiculed her for re-
fusing all advances from desirable
sources Lately her fidelity was re
warded. The lover of her girlhooc

Pension statistics.

Congressman O'Neil, Of Massachus-
etts, chairman Of the subcommittee 90
pensions, in speaking Of the annual sp-
prisiion bill in vhish his committee is
now at work, says that the total appro-
priation fr pensions foi the current is
cal year was Sl66, 53i $50, and FOR the
FIRST time in many years it is probable
that no deficiency appropriation will be
needed. 1t is even possible that small
surplus may be turned into the treasury.
For the fiscal year 1895 Commissioner
Lochren estimates that about 1852 600,
QUO will be needed. or almost 81 600
900 less than for the present year. 1t
Is a remarkable fact thar this reduction
comes not from cutting of any one from
tAc pension rolls. but because for the first
time the bureau dispc SEES OF pension
claims faster than they come in. This
is sho vn by the fact that on October y.
1892. there we're pending TSS, C6l claims
while on July Z. 1893, not quite nine
months later, the number had been re-
duced to I'll ono From these. figures
it appears that the fling of new cases
will not again exceed the number of
cases acted upon by the bureau, and 1t is
also apparent tha, the maximum number
of pensions to be granted will be reach
ed before the end Of the fiscal year 1895,
if. indeed, it is not reached before next
July. From that time on the large
sums of money disbursed on first pay
ments will no longer swell the appropri-
alton bill, aud once these claims are adj
judicsted the pension appropriations will
rapidly decrease, owing to the deaths OF
the pensioners, who are now getting far
along in years. In the coming year
more than S25, 0OO,O 900 will be needed
for first payments, and it is fair to as
sumo that afte- 1895 the annual aprro-
priation will be diminished BY at least
that SUN.
