Yesterdays Fires.

The fire department had two fires
yesterday, making total of eleven
for the month to date, which breaks
the record.
The first fire was in a board
occupied on one side by Mrs.
Little, and on the other by Mr..
Jackson. The fire was a very difficult
one to contend with, as it started be-
tween the two roofs of the houses.
and worked its way into a number of
little attic rooms under the gable. After
a hard struggle, the blaze was extin-
guished. Fireman Mcguire had his
hand badly cut with broken glass. The
damage to the building, which was
owned by w. c. Warren, was estimated
at $1,000, insured for 81, 900. The con-
tents were damaged about $3.50. in
sured for $1,000. Mr.. Warren sent the
fire department a, box of cigars for
the good work they did.
The other blaze broke out at the
Lawrence house, on Twenty-sixth
street. A box of rubbish caught fire
on an upstairs back porch by some
unknown means. but was extinguished
before any damage was done.

Acting Secretary OF the Interior Sims on Sat

General Olney the construction 10 he placed
on the act of Dee q, 1893. In it il is held that
the act applies to every pension granted by the
Office and declaring it a mandatory duty of tho
Commissioner to give so days notice even In

IL was cited that there are hundreds of sns-

are coHfessedly based perjury and forged
testimony, while in practically all there IS
strong presumptivc cvidenre OF fraud. All the
evidence in these has not been submitted.
The Attorney-General says that the act mp

issued by The Pension Office whether the evil

Until the 30 days notice is given the money,
it is held, must continue to be paid, although
the party guilty of crime in fraudulent cases
may be serving his sentence. 1t Is held that
the act practically abolishes the right to sus-
pend payments Of pensions pending litigation.
1t may occasionally hrppen that. while
at the expiration of the 80 days the evidence

PENSION DECISIONS REVERSED.

Assistant Secretary Reynolds has decided
case which will render pensionable u meritori-
Gus class of claimants, under the act of June
81, 1890, who were included under the pre-
vious decisions of the Department. The case
is that of Mary f., widow of Samuel II. Wal
ker, who had served term OF so days and
been honorahly discharged. Walker again
entered the service and was commissi oned,
and while serving his second term of service
was killed, hut not in the line of duty. His
claim was rejected by the Pension Bureau, in
conformity with the departmental decisions
that soldier not having been honorably dis
charged from his second term of service his
widow was not entitled to pension, notwith-
standing the fact that he had served 80 days
or more and had been honorably discharged
form the previous enlistment.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds decides: Even
though the words honorable discharge be in-
terpreted in their broadcast sense. and held to
mean an honorable discharge from each and
every term of service. yet death in the second
term of service should be considered as equiva-
lent to an honorable discharge unless occurring

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

The deadlock over the Bland segniorage bill

Although this is by far the pleasantest age to

other times. yet there are still occasions for
fault-fnding. Now the milliners are produc-
ing black roses, black daisies, and even black
violets-of all the unforgivable things-for
hat trimmings and are insisting that these
gloomy shadows are more stylish than flowers
that initiate nature more closely, or than the

There are three kinds of lace. dividing them
off broadly: Point or needle lace, pillow lace,
and the machine product. Point lace is really
the finest kind of embroidery; on net, with
soft braids to help form the patterns. Pillow
lace is an elaborate kind of weaving and plsit-
ng. Point lace is more perfect on one side
than the other; pillow lace is alike on both
sides.

And one is just now waiting for the trees to
show family freshly green against the sun
light for the ferns to lazily uncurl their long
fronds. for the bepstics to come to the woods,
and the violets to awaken. Some impatient
ones carry branches from Towering trees to see
them blossom out when supplied with warmth
and plenty to drink. Or big pieces of sod are
taken up in boxes and carefully showered and
summed, that the hidden Quaker ladies, and
their friends. the snemones, may make an earlier
appearance than would be possible on the hill
side. Such efforts sometimes bring good luck
and infinite pleasure to watch what may come
forth, but the bit of woods must be kept moist
and warm, else you will but kill the hidden
lives. and it were shame to bring them from
the woods to meet careless death.

drawn in full on parchment; this is fastened to

pins are stuck in to hold the threads. Then

one that he delivered before the House on the
Geneva award question, when he was Chairman
of the Judiciary Committee. He had intended
to close the discussion of the subject, but at
the last moment he was besought to open it.
He protested that for some months he had
given consideration to the case in detail at
all, though before that he had made thorough
study of the matter. Nevertheless, his col
leagues continued to appeal TO him to change
his intention. and finally he consented, though
with great trepidation. As soon as lie touched
upon the subject, however. it seemed to open

bobbins, that are handled very quickly and ac-

require as many as $50 of the tiny spools.

WHY IS 1T.

There is law upon the statutes of
Nevada requiring those furnishing
meals for pay, and also those keeping
two or more boarders to take out a
license and pay into the county treas
ury the sum of $3.50 together with
one dollar for the Auditor and Col
lector. The restaurants here are re-
quired to take out such license, but
in plain violation of said law for sew
eral years past, whenever there is
gathering or public party where sup
per is desired, one or more of our
private families have taken it upon
themselves to provide meals or sup
per for pay and have charged and
taken pay at the rate of one dollar
per couple or 30 cents per meal,
thereby defrauding those who are pay
ing license of the full rights it is
intended to confer. Why in law and
equity are they not entitled to pro-
lection? All of this violation is
allowed after the License Collector
has had his attention called to the
fact, many times giving the names of
reliable witnesses to prove the charge;
but for some unexplained reason he
has failed to perform what is evident
ly his bounden duty-if for no other
reason than to protect those of whom
he has exacted license fee. The
law was evidently framed for the pur-
pose of raising revenue and dealing
with all alike who might desire to
sell meals. Can it be lawful or Just
to compel one person to pay a rev.
enue into the treasury of the county
while another person engaged in the
same business is allowed to go Scott
free, with the knowledge of the one
whose duty it is to see that the law is
impartially enforced.
