CONSISTENCY,

A few years ago singular wager
was made at the Cafe Helder. The
affair took place between viveurs,
pressed for cash, and pushed by their
tailors.
4 bet, said one OF the Parisians at
the table, that the most absurd ad-
vertisement will bring some answer,
at least q request Tor particulars,
which will be mark of hesitation, a
desire to conclude something
Taken, answered the other, 'on
condition that | be charged with the
wording This condition was accept
ed.
The next day the two friends met
at the same place, and the skeptic
showed the product of his medltations.
| would not be satisfied if did not
give in full the announcement, which,
as coming from madman, would he
without an answer, IN the opinion OF
its author.
"a Young man wishes to borrow,
without conditions as TO interest or
repayment, a sum of $4,000 francs,
which, perhaps he will never be able
TO return, but he assures the kind
lender who dares to take the risk, OF
his eternal gratitude. Address, by
letter, Mr.. Il. z. L., Helder.'
This announcement was so extrav-
agant that it required great conf
dence in the effects of publication to
take a bet of louis, and still, per-
haps thorough curiosity, the bet was
taken.
Forty-eight hours after the appear
ance OF the Journal, the postman de
livered at the designated cafe letter
with the initials If the borrower
The writing was Ene and elegant.
The seal having been broken, the
following response was heard with
avidity:
"Monsieur: One must be in grea
embarrassment to place such an ad
vertisement as have just read. How
ever, l take it kindly in the author
for having despaired neither of Goo
nor uan. If several notes Of thou
sand francs can help you, | shall be
pleased to accommodate you.

Avenue Friedland, No.
1t was thought at first to be farce
the letter passed from hand to hand
and it was not until the second day
that the bettor, with little assurance
presented himself at the indicated
address.

GEN. SICKLES,S PAY.

The officials of the War Department will
not pass OH the case of Gen. Daniel Z. Sickles.
and will pay him his salary as Major General
oil the Retired List, regardless of the fact that
ne is also drawing salary member OF
Congress.
The payment has been made and its allow
ance or disallowaDce will devolve on the Second
Auditor and the Second Comptroller, who will
pass on the accounts of the Paymaster who
made the payment. While making no pretense
at decision in the matter, Gen. Smith is
inclined to the belief that, as retired officers
are not appointed and on6rmed, and really
render no service but are pensioned for pre-
vious services, they do not hold an office"
within the meaning of the constitutional pro.
vision
In the case of Gen. Sickles, inasmuch as the
House of Representatives, with full knowledge
Of the situation, established his eligibility for
membership the Pay master General thinks il
is not for him TO say that Gen. Sickies has for
feited his right to pay as a retired officer of
the Army.

ABOUT PEOPLE.

Miss Alice Fletcher. the ethnologist who has
made study of the Omahas and other Indian
tribes for the Peabody Museum at Cambridge,
has been paid the highest price of any woman
employed by the Government AS Special
Agent of the Indian Bureau she drew a salary
and 50 day for ter expenses while making
the allotment of lands to the Neg Perees and
the other tribes given individual holdings or
farms.
The date finally set for the lanching of the
United States warship Oregon has arrived.
Miss Daisy Ainsworth, daughter of Capt ]. c.

Ainsworth is brunei belle in the society of
three cities, and devoted worker among the
poor. She was born in Oregon % years ago,
and went to Oakland with her father when he
transferred many of bis business interests to
California.
George Forth, Of Wisconsin, who was ap-
pointed Reading Clerk Of the Senate with the
change of party domination in that body will
shortly resign his place He has been notified
that he will be appointed Postmaster of Mil
waukee.
The friends of Col Robert Christy are urging
his appointment as United States Attorney for
the District of Colum bi in the event of change
in that office. He is very strongly Endorsed for
the position by leading Democrats of the Dis
trict. The matter has been brought to the at
tention of the President by prominent Demo-
cratic Senator'S 1t is said on excellent authority
that District Attorney Birney will not be dis
turbed for several months yet.

THURSDAY, Der. 10.

In the Senate, the Vice-President was about
to lay before the Senate certain House bills re-
ceived, but was interrupted by Mr.. Stewart,
who made the point of order that no business
was in order until the journal of last Monday
had been disposed of But the Vice. President
ordered the bills read.
Mr.. Quay gave notice Of an amendment to
the repeal bill, providing that the act shall
take effect on Jan. l, 1896.
The discussion of the last two days was again
taken up, centering mainly on the rights of the
minority.
The journal of Monday was approved, MT.
Teller having withdrawn his motion to amend,
and the repeal bill was at 410 p. LII. laid before
the Senate.
VI Mr. Henderson offered an amendment to the
rules providing that when, upon vote by yeas
and nays it shall appear to the Chair, on re-
capituation and before the announcement Of
the result, that quorum has not voted he
shall call by name upon Senators present who
have not voted to vote. and shall direct the
Secretary to add the names Of Senators not
voting, including those announcing pairs, or
who may or may not have been excused from
voting and to enter them on the journal.
Mr.. PETER addressed tho Senate in continua-
ton of the speech begun by him last week, but
he did not finish it. and at p. IN. the Senate
took recess until 10 a. N. tomorrow.

To RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.

bill to restrict immigration is under con-
sideration by the House Committee on the
Judiciary, and Representative VIM. A. Stone,
of Pennsylvania, the author of the measure,
is hopeful of favorable report.
Col. Stone declares that the act of 1891 has
not accomplished its intended purposes, and
that he does not believe in leaving the execu-
ton of the law to the steamship companies
any more than he would leave the collection
Of internal revenue to the distileries and
breweries.
He thinks 1t rather remarkable that out of
an immigration of hundreds of thousands dur
ing year, only 4S1 immigrants were returned
to their ports of departure for inability to sup
port themselves. He is disposed to think throw
ing the work of inspection upon the steam
ship companies makes the work Of the Federal
inspectors more perfunctory than it ought to
be, and that inspection ought to take place
the other side instead of after the arrival
of the immigrants in this country
The pending bill is similar to one intro
duced by Col Stone in the last Congress, and
requires an application for permit to come
to this country to be made to consular officer.
who is to give hearing to the applicant as to
his fitness to come to the United States and
take care of himself.

Gen. John Palmer. Past COMMANDMENTS
Chief, GAR. May Lose His Pension.
1t is understood that the Pension Bureau is
paying special attention to the case of Gen.
John Palmer, with view to suspending him,
and either eventually dropping his name from
the rolls or making large reduction in the
pension he now receives.

allow an increase of SIT from July 4, 1865; SIS
from May 6, 1874; $24 from May g. 1883, and
$50 from May 1. 1889.
The insnuation having been made that Gen.
Palmer's pension was improperly allowed by
Corporal Tanner when Commissioner of PEN
sions, the Corporal was approached on the SUBJ
ject, and made this statement:

was railroaded through the Pension Bureau in
"a hours. Full and careful consideration was
given both Gen. Palmers and Judge Longs
claims and careful attention was paid to the
testimony

Pamer's pension that / naturally would not
make in Judge Longs case, for the reason that
i never knew that such man as Judge Long
existed prior to the filing of his application for
rerating. Palmer | had known since 1867,
and, being acquainted with the trouble and its
origin, took more interest in his claim. / have
travelled and slept with Palmer aud have often
witnessed the agony he has endured from his
spine.
Palmer has spent thousands of dollars
more than he has ever received from the Gov
ernment by good deal--in the attempt to get
rid of the injury with which he is suffering
He has submitted to operations in the Euro
pean cities, and on one occasion allowed his
spine to be burnt in the hope that cure would
be effected"
