TOO BIG FOR THE ALLEY.
A Rotund Policeman Stuck Fast at a
Comrades Funeral.
From the PHILADELPHIA Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
A narrow alley and very broad police
man was the combination which forced a
tinge of humor to the solemn proceedings
at the funeral of Patrolman David Nc
Carly, of the Ninth district, on Sunday
afternoon Lieut.. Francis and eighty
four policemen marched to their dead
comrades house on Carlisle street, above
Brown. The officers passed through the
house in single fle, took last look at the
remains, and made their way to the street
through narrow alley.
just sixty-Rve of the eighty-four DO
licemen in the line had paid their tribute
to the dead when Policeman Hamilton
hove in sight. Hamilton was reasonably
graceful, despite his 300 pounds, until he
got into the alley. Then he stuck, and
stuck fast He struggled hard to 90 for
ward He stuck the faster, and to save
his life he couldn't move forward or back
ward The si&ty-seventh, the sixty
eighth and the sixty-ninth men came
along and stopped. Hamilton cried for
help. The last man in the line had come
up, and still the alley was blocked.
Lieut.. Francis responded to a call for
help He took in the situation at glance,
and ordered the eighteen men behind
Hamilton toa push all together. They
pushed and Hamilton groaned. His coat
peeled off and his brow glistened under
profuse perspiratiOn. He moved several
feet, and his vest peeled. Matters were
becoming serious, and Just as some one
suggested a liberal use of vaseliue. Ham
ilton's rotund figure was pushed out the
alley.
Hamilton is one of the best men in the
Ninth district. Boys who think he can't
run find themselves sadly fooled for he
is sprinter with no mean record. He
has been on the force since the days Of
Mayor Stokeley, and is no bigger now
than he was then. He is knowd far and
near and "Ducky Diamonds"

Another Player Added to the savan-

Jantzeu, who will do most of the catch

yesterday morning. He is in good trim
and did good work at the practice in the
afternoon Jantzen is one of the best
base runners in the team.
McCloskey has signed Cain, who pitched
for Marshalfs team Wednesday. Cain
has pitched for McCloskey before and
would have been signedbefore now but for
the fact that his arm was believed to have
gone back on him. The game on Wednes-
day however, proved different, and Nc
Closkey signed Cain at once.

At the Bicetre hospital, in Paris, well
known surgeon, NJ Landry, has performed IA
curious operation on a workman of Belgian
nationality, says the London News. The BEL
gian got drunk short time ago and was
taken to the police station at GENTLY whel
in a state Of utter helplessness. While he
was in the cells another drunkard, a mechan-
iCal engineer named Machant. was rought in
a state bordering on delrlum tremens. Mach
ant was in terribly excited state. and he
attacked his fellow prisoner with eXtraordi-
naring ferocity. striking HIM and, horrible to
relate, biting of both Of has ears. When he
came to himself Machaut became very peni-
tent and asked to be taken to the bedside Of
his victim who was now in the Bicetre hospi-
tai in order 10 ask his forgiveness. DR.. Ian
drv who was there, said; should you like
to give him back his ears" Certainly"
said the man. Then said the doctor. let
me cut o couple Of small slips of flesh from
your arm, and it can lie done" The man con
sented ana the doctor did as he had sug
pested The pieces OF flesh he shaped as well
as he could 10 the likeness Of a pair of ears,

cording to the latest account the operation

Con. o. o. Howard will reach the retiring
age next Nov. 4, and when he leaves the Army
it will be to live at Burlington, VT, where his
son, Capt. Guy Howard, of the Army, is now
engaged in building Fort Ethan Allen, a future
cavalry post.
Mrs. Ann E. Plmpton died last week in Bos-
ton, aged 70. She was the widow of Capt. J. F.
Plimpton, and a prominent member of the
W.R.C. During the war she spent one Winter
at Harper's Ferry and Bolivar flights, aiding
in the nursing of sick and wounded soldiers.
Horatio S. Sprague, of the I'd Mass. applied
three years ago for a pension and filed his
proofs. He heard nothing from the application
until this month, when his wife received notice
that, as her husband was dead, his claim was
rejected. The eomrade, though disabled, is
still very much alive, and his friends think of
taking him in person to Washington to show to
Mr.. Lochren.
The Goth birthday of Gen. Neal Dow occurred
on the 18th, and was celebrated by the Ameri-
can Temperance Union. Carnegie's Music Hall,
New York. An extract from letter from T.
V. Powderly was read: ain celebrating his
Goth birthday the veteran of two wars is greater,
as look back upon his career, than any man
in this century. One of these wars he fought
to an end, and then he took up arms against that
other form of slavery which numbered and still
numbers more victims than war and famine
combined. Gen. Dow has been the most per-
sistent, consistent, and uncompromising tenn
perance man in the land" Rev. DR.. Theo-
dore L. Cuyler in the course of his speech
said: "Like Whittier, he was born Quaker.

GEN. JOHN G. BLACK says that new
pension legislation is needed. Certainly.
In the first place we want law that
the present laws shall be carried out
according to their intent and spirit.
Next, we want law that the cases now
pending in the Pension Bureau shall be
settled, honestly, rightfully, and Liberal
ly, by Dec. 81, 1894; third, that no
pension shall be less than So month ;
and, lastly, We want The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE Per Diem Service Bill, which
provides pension of So month for
every man who served 80 days and was
honorably discharged, with an increase
of one cent day for every day that he
served over 800. Very probably, how
ever, this isn't the kind of new Iegisla-
ton that Gen. Black has in mind.

LET Us HAVE 1T DONE.

1t will cost the Government very
much less than $4,000, 900 to honestly
and rightfully settle every claim now
pending in the Pension Bureau.
We do not mean that they shall be
settled by allowing one and rejecting
seven, or by giving microscopic allow
ances, but settling them justly and lib
orally, according to the letter and spirit
of the laws now on the statute books.
This is much less than the value of
the seigniorage on the silver bullion now
living idle and useless in the Treasury
Department.
Apart from the overwhelming con-
s.derations of justice of such an act,
nothing would do the country more good.
The country imperatively needs more
money-not money locked up in the
vaults of the banks in the commercial
centers, but money in the hands of the
people. This would give it to them at
once. 1t would put tens of millions of
dollars of ready money directly where it
would do the utmost good possible.
Everybody would Immediately get some
of it, and it would start the wheels of
business prosperity from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.
Why not do it, and end the long, cruel
delay to which hundreds of thousands
of the veterans have been subjected?
Why not for once combine right,
justice and business and political ex-
pediency in one signal act that will carry
its blessings to the remotest corners of
this great Nation?
Let as hare 1t done.
