Recently J. w. Changers pension was
raised from ST. to $50 per month, to take
effect from February %, 1898. He has
drawn Sl7 since mustered out, butshould
have bad at least S75 per month from the
close of the war for the remainder Of his
life, enough to support and make him
as comfortable as possible to one in his
condition. What compensation can be
Siyen for thirty years of suffering?
much Of the time such intense pain as to
render the sufferer perfectly helpless.
Mr.. Granger has a record of which he
may well be proud, a heritage his pro-
geny will esteem far greater than wealth;

Of his life to the protection and preser-

faithful servant, go thou and exc out a

be spared many years to preside at tie

Several very amusing incidents occur

which are so good that they deserve TO

of what a great time the boys had in the

There weren't half enough suits to sup
ply the demand and as fast as one would
get out of a suit some n else would put
it on dripping wet. The dressing rooms
were crowded. there being sometimes n

who wore a nice suit of black underwear
hung it up carefully in his dressing room
and got into a suit and ike TO never
come out of the hath. Another fellow
came moseying along, spied the suit of
underwear but probably never saw n
of that color before, mistook it for a
bathing suit. Without a moments hest.

The Supreme Court is Satisfied He
Committed Burglary.


A couple of years ago John Sausome
was convicted in Placer County of a
burglary committed at Iowa Hill and
sentenced to the State Prison Tor nine
years. Being denied new trial, he ap-
pealed his case to the Supreme Court,
and in his petition pleaded that the Dis
trict Attorney used the following Ian
guage in addressing the jury:
True, we have not shown that defend
ant was in the immediate vicinity of
Iowa Hill about the time OF the burglary
but Mr.. Conroy has testified that he be-
lieves he saw this defendant in the town
OF Auburn on the 30th of April, lS9I-ten
days before the alleged burglary, and |
say to you, gentlemen, the defendant was
there and committed this offense or why
does he not go upon the stand like man
and tell where he was"
The Supreme Court says the District
Attorney had no right to use the language
complained of and expresses regret that
prosecuting otfic9rs, in their zeal to pro-
cure convictions, so often forget they are
under as much obligation to give one ac-
cused of crime fair and impartial trial
as Is the Judge upon the bench.
Another allegation was that some of the
jurors had been seen to drink at a bar,
but the court holds that there is nothing
to show they were not sober, and finally
refuses TO reverse the Judgment, being
satisfied that Sansome was guilty OF bur-
glary, because the stolen watches were
found in his possession.

Gives Some Important Information
About the Present Condition of the
People.
AT no time in the history of New York City
have there been so many deaths from pneu-
monia as now. The official figures show that
nearly twice as many deaths from this cause
are occurring than for the last five years This
is something terrible.
DR.. John L. Nagle, Registrar of Vital StatiS-
tics, says that this increase is due to the infiu-
ence of grip. He says that grip may be called
epidemic just now, and that in the majority
of cases grip IS a vital, contributing cause to
pneumonia and all dangerous pulmonary
troubles. At this time of the year when we
are changing over from winter to spring, there
from the strains of the season. The blood
does not flow 50 lull nor rapidly; the strength
is less For this reason grip has "a much bet
ter chance than at any other season.
This is time OF year when people need to
be careful, and too much importance cannot
be placed upon keeping the blood warm and
in circulation. You must bring about reac-
ton If you wish 10 avoid the pain and dan
gers OF these troubles in time. There is but
about and that is by the use of pure stimu-
liant, preferably whisky. But the great diff
Guilty is that there are few whiskies which are
pure The only really pure and reliable
whisky known to the medical profession or
the world is Duny's Pure Malt, 1t possesses
qualities known only TO itself. It viii bring
about reaction and prevent cold pneumonia
or the grip where many so-called stimulants
would fail. 1t has saved more lives and re-
lieved more suffering than anything of a SIM
liar nature which was ever known before to
the world,

We had moved into a newly built
house, which had all the modern i'm
provements, the electric bell being one
Of them.
1t was a cold winters night. Mr.. and
Mrs. j. were travelling in Europe and
the servants were all gathered about the
kitchen fire. Polly was also near the
fire, but in the dining room, which was
up stairs.
She used to see our mistress ring the
bell for the servants to enter, and, like
a elever bird, studied on this for long
while.
On this night Polly was all alone,
when suddenly the door opened and
two men entered. The room being
dark they could not see the bird and
began searching for valuables, for they
were burglars
Polly now proved her worth. She put
out her claw and pressed the button of
the electric bell.
1t brought the servants to the dining
room, where, after short struggle, they
secured the burglars, who were about to
make way with much Of the valuable
silver in the dining room.
Polly was fed on dainties for some
time as a reward for her valuable as
sistance.-Cor. New York Recorder.

Mr.. Giron read before the Engineers
club at Philadelphia paper on the trade
of the world in Portland cement, in the
course of which he said that the present
annual production in Europe amounts to
over 20, 000, coo barrels and its CONNER
cial value to over CT 200 900. The first
factory was established at Northheet, on
the Thames. The process was so crude
that in 1850 only four factories were in
operation. In England there is now
over $500. GOO barrels made each year
The process is much the same as it was
twenty years ago. The raw materials
are chalk and clay, both pure, and al
though inferior processes are employed
they make a satisfactory cement.
A few years ago the entire product Of
the kilns was put on the market, but the
fneness of the Continental cements led
English makers to improve their pro-
cesses, although even now English &C.
ment is not as rule as firm as Geneva
or French Portland New York Even

An old Scotch servant attached to
the household of the famous British
looician, Sir William Hamilton, was as
proud Of his masters fame as if it had
been his own, and, having picked up a
few of Sir Williams technical words
and phrases, brought them into play on
every possible occasion.
One day gentleman who was fond
of drawing out old John for the amuse-
ment of the company said to him, with
an engaging air:
81 suppose, John, now that you've
lived so long with such great reasoner
as Sir William, you are quite able to
conduct an argument YOURSELF
"Weel, Wilma say sac muckle as
that" replied the old Scotchman, with
the modesty of true genius, "but if ]
Gamma conduct an Argument, I'm think
IN / could draw an inference"
Gould you? Let us see, then? There's
an Eastern proverb, you know, about
the wild ass snuffing up the east wind.
Now what inference would you draw
from that?"
For moment old John looked non
plussed, as well he might, and then a
CLEAN of sly huinor twinkled in the cor
ner of his dark gray eye, and he an
swered, with grim chuckle:
"Aweel, the inference that I wad
draw from that wad be that he might
snuff a lang time before he grew fatr'--

however, that Lafitte was very hand

his days thenceforth were brief and full
