CLERKS WHO HAVE INFLUENCE.


They Arc the Bone of the Pension Bureau,
According to Sir. Ainsworth.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Mr. Ainswortb.
who. by a special bill of Congress- has been
placed in charge of the record and pension
division of the War Department.. with the
rank of colonel, and who has been inrrust-
ed with the entire administration of pen
sion matters as far as they relate to army
records. was examined before a sub-com-
mittes OF the House on the question of trans
ferring the whole pension system to the
War Department. His evidence was racy.
Speaking of the suggested transfer he
said: $50 far as am personally concerned,
i am opposed to it, don't
want il. 1t qradruples the labor
and responsibility. But if Con-
gress should see fit to exercise
Its undoubted riRht and make this transfer
IL certainly should provide that the rank
and pay OF the chief OF the record and PEN
sion Office should be Increased correspond
lngly with his responsibility. he should
have the rank of q brigadier- general. and i
should prefer my present to the new place
with malor-generaPs commission.
Whether you make this change or do not
make it. one OF the first things you ought
TO do is TO strengthen out the affairs of the
Pension Office. There is an Office which of
all others ought TO be conducted as nearly
like private business concern as possible.
1t has most unbusiness-like methods, and
there is one very good reason for it. No
commissioner whether the present one or q
new appointee of President ClevelRnd's,
can bring order out of the chaos there
because he has no authority to keep order
and to discipline refractory or worthless
employees. In fact. If one of his mployes
should go into the Commi ssioner's officesto-
morrow drunk and kick him he has not

All be can do IS to recommend the reduc-

time that recommendation reaches the Sec
Rotary of the Interior and Is returned with

cause you can set this down q rule. with

ESTELLA HOWARD In LUCK.
Strange Story Of a Young Woman Who Is to
Receive Over 100000.
Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal.

Special 70 the Indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-Most folks would
say that such story as the following be-
longed in theater and not in real life. The
story is verified for in real life by
very handsome young woman with
deep blue eyes and wavy chestnut hair.
Her name is Estelle Howard. She Is
twenty one years old and is at present with
friends at No. IS West observation-disclosures
fifth street. Her home is in Rockford. Ill.
The story, as she tells it. very unwillingly.
Is this
She was born In England. Her parents
were poor. but she had some wealthy rela-
came to this country with o maiden aunt,
went to school there until she
was old enough to earn her own
living. When she was fifteen years old she
became acquainted with rich bachelor.
This rich bachelor was the owner of a watch
and clock factory in Rockford. The ac-
quaintance began when she applied
to him for work in the fac
tory. He took liking to her
few years he gave her a trstrate business
education. She looked on him as her bene-
factor. She told him of her parents and he
at times sent them money for her. They
year she went to Europe. partly on busi-
ness connected with the very small es-
Tate they left. She had hardly ar
rived there when she read OF
the death of her rich employer. Her
stay in Europe was brief. W hen she
returned to Rockford friends told her that
her benefactor's will had been probated.
and that he had forgotten her. She got
place In u family as governess in o town
near Chicago. She has earned
hn- 1sxxsw. -.
A little more than IA month ago she came TO
New York TO visit the friends with whom
she is now. and just month ago she re-
ceived a letter from the lawyer for sthe
estate OF her employer telling her that while
she Lad been forgotten In the Will she
would be we'll provided for from his estate.
This letter informed her that the aged and
wealthy bachelor was really q relative OF
hers. her mothers half brother. Through
all the years she had n.n worked for for
fact from her because years before a rich
relative of hers had left with linn, IN
trust a large sum of money. He was to give

fortune ont of II. The amount now due
her. the lawyer said. was between
s3C0000 and 100000. IL would
require about four months to settle
affairs so that she could get the money. In
the meantime they would advance to her
from the estate amounts to enable her TO
live in becoming style
This story came from another source and
was corroborated by Miss Howard. She
would not tell the name of the rich uncle,
nor would she tell who the lawyers
were. But she had not any
doubt IN the world that the money was due
her. and that she would get il, and when
she did she was gong to take u certain
young woman in Rockford and go travel.

of the United States, and then she wOuia

Chances OF the Anc-Opt1On Bill becoming
Law Gradually Waning.
Special 10 the Indian apolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN. Jan. 2O.-One thing after
another has conspired to delay final action
upon the anti-option bill in the Senate till
its best friends now admit that it's chances
of becoming law are remote and that it
will likely fail of completion in the House.
The Senate has amended the bill already in
a number of material points. so that when
it goes back to the House there will of
necessity be considerable discussion should
IL again be taken up. Ex-Speaker Reed,
who is opposed to the bill. stated to a Sem
ator the first of this week that if the bill
was not sent back to the House before the
first of next week it would not be finally
acted upon, as. beginning with next Mon
day it Is the intention of the committee on
rules OF which Mr.. Reed is q conspicuous
member, TO keep the appropriation bills be-
fore the House till they are all passed. and
that it would take night and day work 10
get them all completed by the end of the
session.

Royal Never ais.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER is always perfect;
no experimenting is necessary with it; the house
keeper never has to return to the grocer and
beg for the return of her money. For third of
century invaluable qualities have been familiar to
American housewives who have found its always
guarantee Of light sweet pure and wholesome food.
Some baking powders are so imperfecty made from
cheap and inferior materials that their manufacturers
are compelled take them back in large quantities.
During the last year thousands of of brand
sold commissioned upon a"guarantee" have been
returned caked spoiled and useless.
