"A dispute over Belg! an estate
among disgruntled beneficiaries has
resulted in curious disaster for the
disputants. A year ago a widow died,
leaving an estate worth over six and a
half million francs. The immediate
relatives to whom it was left disputed
over the spoils, and suit was insti-
tnted in the Brussels courts to settle
their various claims. The case at
tracted wide attention, and at the
trial it was proved that more than
three thousand five hundred persons
were related to the testatrix, and rela-
tives even twelve degrees removed
were adjudged entitled to some of the
fortune.

One of the best positions of an ap-
pointive nature in the house of repre-
sentatives is that of tally clerk. The
salary is $1,000 per annum and the
work is as near nothing as it can be
and yet retain the semblance of suffi-
cient labor to excuse the existence Of
the Office.
1t is the duty of the tally clerk
whenever there is yea or nay vote
taken upon any proposition to be pres
ent and make accurate and complete
record of the vote of every member Of
the house who is present and voting.
When the house engages in a siege of
filibustering or in a succession OF all
night meetings the tally clerk is
obliged to go without sleep and really
perform exhausting duties, but this oc-
ours so seldom that the Office is prac-
tically sinecure.
For example, from the adjournment
of the house on March 4, 1898, to the
commencement of the extra session
in August, period of five months, the
tally clerk had nothing to do but draw
his salary of S24o per month with great
regularity. During the three months
of the extra session he was obliged to
be on duty altogether but thirty hours.
For this work he received the sum Of
s., 02O. During the present session Of
congress he has been on duty moro
than usual on account of the frequent
roll calls in the house on the tariff
bill. A high salary is paid because a
frst-class man who is absolutely reli-
able and accurate cannot be obtained
for less money. The present incumbent
of the position is as we'll educated, as
intelligent and as competent man to
represent district in congress as any
one of the average members upon the
door OF the house SMITH d. Fry.

Senator Vest tells good stories, all

ave find some strange things in the
mails" said a railway postal clerk who
delivered a tramp to a police officer.
When the southern night line train
pulled into Sixth street depot Thurs
day night the clerks of the railway
mail service were throwing out the
mail bags intended for the post Office
here and for points further north.
when one of them grabbed, as he
supposed, canvas bag, but it proved
to be an Italian tramp who had been
lying beneath a pile of sacks, canvas
and leather. The intruder said he was
out of work and money, and being de-
sirous of reaching New York had con-
cealed himself under the mail bags at
Charleston, and took his chances of
getting through. He was rather disap-
pointed when he found that his trip to
New York had been interrupted. He
was sent to a police station house.

AN OPIUM FIEND'S FATE.
Deprived Of Due Allowance He
Promptly Sought Death.

station the other night of the old
fends who have permits to use

to Jail they would keep the hospital
department busy. They are wrecks.
A few pipes a day keeps them
alive.
"The worst case l ever saw"
said Captain Scott, "was on Maui.
We had half a dozen fends in the
road gang. A special prescription
was prepared for them by the Gov
eminent doctor. Each man had
big pill every morning. Once we
were short of medicine. One old
fellow had to go without his dose.
1 watched him for a time and he
seemed to stand it all right. About
10 o'clock he committed suicide in
a most brutal fashion. He was
loading a heavy bullock cart with
earth. When it started off with
the bullocks tugging, the driver
yelling and the old cart creaking,
this pake threw himself under a
wheel. The great weight crushed
the life out of him. He was driven
crazy by missing his pill. The rest
of them said that this was an awful
warning to the authorities. When
the poor fellows get the habit they
are enslaved by it,"

ALOHA TO A VALUABLE MAN.
Capt. John Good, Jr., Leaves for the

days in San Francisco, Capt. Good
will go to Lakeport, small town
north of Vallejo. This place is his
old home. 1t is hoped rest there will
restore him to health.
a large number of military and
other friends were at the wharf to
bid the captain good bye. He was
one of the men brought out by the
revolution of '93 and will have a
prominent place in all histories of
the change from old to new Hawaii.
He fired the only shot of the actual
struggle which ended monarchy on
these islands. 1t was at a critical
moment. Quick, decisive action was
required. John Good proved him
self man of courage and prompt
determination. To save a wagon
load of arms to the cause he had es-
poused he shot policeman. This
was the actual call to action all
along the line. The policeman re-
covered.
As commander of Co. E, \. O.. H,
Capt Good has been rated first-class.
He is a capable drill master and
knows how to manage men. Being
a rifle expert himself he organized
the best rifle team the country ever
saw. He has been a valuable man,
hard working and alert.
