Pensions.

lSyf, there were 9tJ.311 persons on our pension rolls being net increase of i5 2 over the num- her reported at the end of the previous year. These pensioners may be classified as follows: Soldiers and sailors, survivors of all wars, 7J3.96S; widows and relatives of deceased sol diers 2i5, l69 army nurses in the war Of the re- be lion, Ill Of these pensioners 32.039 are surviving soldiers of Indian and other wars prior to the late civil and the widows or relatives of such soldiers. The remainder, numbering 937.5o5, are receiv- ing pensions on acconnt Of the rebellion, and of these 469 3ii are O the rolls under authority of the act o June 27 1S90 sometimes called the dependent pension law The total amount ex- pended for pensions during the year was $l39 Sa.46l .05. leaving an nexpended balance from the sum appropriated of 1905 7i2.e5 The sum necessary to meetpension expenditures for the year ending June 30. 1896, Is estimated at s5o 0g0NG0.
 The claims pending in the bureau have de creased more than 9J.009 during the year. A large proportion of the new claims filed are for increase of pension by those now on the rolls. The number of certificates issued was so 2l3. The names dropped from the rolls for all causes during the year numbered 37,951. Among our pensioners are nine widows and three daughters of soldiers of the revolution, and forty five survivors of the war of 1872
 The barefaccd and extensive pension frauds exposed under the direction of the courageous and gene rous veteran soldier now at the head Of the bureau, leaves no room for the claim that purgat;on of onr pension rolls was needed or thut continued vigilance and prompt etion are not necessary to the same end.

Woman as an Athlete.

At a village in West Virginia youth
was engaged to a girl, but they quar-
relied. Then the mean spirited youth be-
gan to talk about her in way in which
no gentleman would ever permit himself
to speak of any woman. The young lady
heard of it. She consulted her girl
chums. There were four of them. They
went one night to the farm where the
Cabling youth lived and called him out
by throwing pebbles at his bedroom win
dow. He came, and no doubt was i'm
mensely fiattered to find himself con-
fronted by fire pretty girls. But he
changed his mood when. without a word.
these FIVE strong country maidens grab
bed him and tied him to the fence. There
they whipped him within an inch of his
life and babe him adieu. He will at
least not talk about nice girls for some
time to come.
In New Jersey the same day two
tramps went into farmhouse and de-
manded money. The mistress Of the
mansion was alone. Did she faint and
scream and then give to the two villains
all her own and her husbands savings?
No, she did not. She ordered the fellows
to leave. Then one drew pistol and
threatened her. Before you could count
three the lady had snatched up an Ak
handle and struck the man with the pis-
toll terrible blow on the head. 1t felled
him. Then the second tramp started to
run, but before he could get away that
dreadful ak handle struck him on the
back Of the head and downed him too.
Then at her leisure madam took the pis-
toll from one fellow and knife from the
other. Now, get out" she said, and
they got. How Charles Reade would
have enjoyed such combinations Of his
theory that really women were tremen-
dousiy strong creatures if they would

The story Of John Dalton, who shipped
himself inside stuffed buffalo in an ex-
press car at Deadwood, s. D., will have
thrilling interest for the next novel for
boys. But his knocking out one Of the
animals glass eyes and filling the place
with the muzzle Of six shooter was
Johns undoing. The express messenger
seems to have been an exception to the
kind OF express messenger who tamely
submits when train robber orders him
to throw up his hands. This brave and
nimble young man gave leap upon the

in, Of course, and the messenger calmly

Nervous Americans.
DR.. 8. Weir Mitchell appears to tai

DR.. s. Weir Mitchell appears to take
quite too gloomy view Of this subject
in q paper in McClure's Magazine. He
says that the American people are fast
becoming very short lived people. and
that II they were shut in Of themselves
and had no influx of foreign vitality for
. few years the effect on the census
would Re startling.
This may have been true Of q genera
ton ago, but is it SO now with our i'm
proved knowledge Of how to live? As
purely American ancestry Us any is GER
tainly found in the Connecticut valley
Yet there the proverb is that people
never die. but dry mp and blow away
They frequently live to be a century
old. As to mere increase of population,
that OF itself is no sign either of pros
perity or of growth toward higher civ
ilization. Fewer people and better
quality of them would be real indica-
ton of civilized progress. 1t is the very
lowest, most worthless forms of life that
propagate the fastest.
1t seems likely, taking larger view of
the matter than that of the mere medical
man. that the American climate and
spirit are developing new race. Its
nerves will be finer, its skin will be finer,
and there may be perhaps less OF heavy
bone and bulk than characterizes the
older European peoples, bat we shall
not fall off any in beish. or real strength.
Did not the American Corbett thrash the
British champi4r Il three rounds, and
was net the worlds champion brute be
fore Corbett also an American? Both
were of Irish descent, it is true, but thev
belong to the new American race and in
harit its spirit.
There is q profound meaning to this
hustle and hurry which Dr.. Mitchell
thinks will exter,ninate the Americans.
1t means that we are going to show the
world that work which heretofore re-
quired two days for the doing can be
done in one. Brain and spirit will come
In in the new American race and control
the lower. heavier forces of matter. DR..
Mitchell is indeed right when he insists
that young people shall not be hurried so
girls in school and boys in business.
He declares that girl should have the
best Of food, air and exercise, bat not be
crowded in her stndies till the age of II.
After that she can bear hard study and
long hours Of school. In ike manner
the boy is put to business far too young
In America. He becomes little old
man in counting room when he should
be boy playing active outdoor games.
A reasonable system of outdoor physical
training for both boys and girls will cor
rect the evils the doctor complains of.

Russia will not have her Jewish sub
5ects, the United States viii not have
them without the stiffest kind Of creden-
fials, and now Germany refuses to let
them cross her territory without pass
port from Russia and the certain assur-
ance that they will not be sent back from
America after they get there. Why do
not their American and English brethren
send them to Canada? Canada is crying
for settlers. These Russian Jews get the
hang OF things in America rapidly and
show power to take care of themselves
that is unsurpassed by that of any race.

CALIFORNIA; ExDos;tion.

Journalists may remark with modest
pride that it is no wonder the Pacific
Midwinter show is success, because a
newspaper man, II. H. de Young, was
at the head of it as director general. The
reason given by Governor Markham Of
California for attempting the Midwinter
fair will be interesting to the rest Of tse
country.
He says California was the first state
to make an appropriation for the Worlds
fair at Chicago. Only one state-Illinois
herself-made larger one. All was
dona that could be to set the Golden
State adequately before the country and
the world. Then, when the big show
opened, Californians visited it by the
thousand. They looked at first, of course,
at the exhibits from their own state. But
they shook their heads and said: This
show does not at all represento our state as
it should. 1t is impossible to transplant
California to Chicago
Then the disappointed ones put their
heads together and planned out how to
bring the world to see California on her
own ground at home. Thus, and thus
only, could she be fifty judged. The re-
suit is the beautiful Midwinser exposi-
ton begun just FIVE months ago and
wrought out with all the spirit of west
ern enthusiasm. When the Chicago fair
opened in May, the flowers and grass
could not yet grow because of frost.
In beautiful Golden Gate park at San
Francisco the lawns, beds and borders
around the exposition buildings are even
in midwinter covered with emerald green
and rainbow hued flowers. Fruits in a
bewildering profusion never before dis
played anywhere will make the eyes of
the world stand out round and big with
wonder. Happy California, happy visit
ors to the Midwinter exposition.

The Chronicle remarks gently, Every

A Military Strike.

In effect such strike took place on
board the Nictheroy, bought in New
York for the service Of Brazil. The New
York World is authority for the story.
The crew as well "a the steamer itself
was obtained In New York and vicinity.
1t as well as the ship was American.
The fact that this crew was largely made
up Of newspaper correspondents may ac-
count perhaps for some of the things
that happened.
The story told is that as the Nicthe-
roy neared Rio Janeiro its commander
assembled his crew and passengers and
made q speech to them. In substance it
was that that ship was out for fight and
would never let up till it had grappled
with the forces of Mello and exterminated
them or been exterminated. He wanted
all hands to understand that before they
went on with the undertaking they had
commenced. Then the men addressed
went apart and consulted among them.
selves. Did they, after all. want to face
cannon and possibly get killed?
They made up their minds and return
ed answer to the admiral. 1t was that
they would fght-yes, they would fight.
But it would be on their own terms.
For a given time-not u long time either
each man must be paid 81 200. Then
II he lost his life generous pension
must be awarded his dependent heirs. If
he lost a leg or an arm, the permanent
pension to himself must be so much; if
he lost his eyesight, so much more. The
commander thought when the terms
We're made known to him that the men
had all lost their heads already. The
pensions We're on the liberal basis that
was to have been expected from men who
pensioned themselves.
The men had known beforehand that
they were to fight. That was what they
expected. But this is the first instance
on record of soldiers debating to their
authorities what their pay should be and
also the size Of their pensions. If Uncle
Sans boys had had as much foresight
when they volunteered for the civil war,
much fuss about pensions would have
been saved. But then every man must
not be expected to know as much as
newspaper correspondents who enlist
for glory and money both.

ACCUSED BY mrs. DILLON.
Commissioner of Deeds Delaney
Charged with Larceny.
Said to Have Stolen q Check CALI
ing for S41l.5s.

Marshal II. Delaney, n commissioner
OF deeds, OF 4lS West Forty-sixth street,
was held by Justice Taintor in Harlem
Police Court to-day for examination on
a charge of grand larceny. He was ar
rested by Policeman John J. Shea. of
the East Elghty-eighth street station.
last night at 1916 Second avenue, in the
rooms OF Mrs. Bridget Il. Dillon, a
wealthy widow and owner OF the house.
Mrs. Dillon accused him OF having
stolen a 800 check from her.
In court to-day Mrs. Dillon said she
first knew Delaney few months ago.
He represented himself as a lawyer and
wanted to do business for her.
She employed him to bring suit for
s., 900 damages against railroad CON-
pany for setting fire to her roof by loco
motive sparks. and she signed a paper
at his request. Afterwards, Mrs. Dillon
says. she ascertained that she had
signed a power Of attorney. ,
On July Is Mrs. Dillon received
laney TO the Fifth Avenue Bank to get
/. cashed. She says Delaney went in
with the check and opened an account
in his own name with It. Since then
Mrs. Dillon has been unable to get any
of the money.
Denlancy alleges that Mrs. Dillon gave
the check to him to pay interest on a
mortgage. He said he had paid $50 on
this mortgage. and intended TO pay the
balance later. Mrs. Dillon denies this
Delaney was held for examination.
