Johnson, . lad Of twelve years, tum-

Half an hour later he stood on the

the strange occupation of the men,
never dreaming they were looking for
his body. He remained on the bridge
an hour until his clothes dried, and
then descended to the creek bank,
where the anxious crowd was watch

YOUNG WIDOW PENSIONERS
CAPT. Skinner EiRds The Old 9~l1ler
Marketable for 1GstriMony.


Marketable for Mstrinony.
United States Pension Agent Skin
ner has discovered that there are many
blus.ling into marriage contracts with
veterans who have passed the three
score mark. In fact, the captain rather
suspects that the young women who
choose the1a do 80 because they have
performed brave service for their coun-
try. and are now being rewarded by q
comfortable pension.
This state of things, in the Pitts
burgh district, at least. though not
throughout the country, indicates
that the payment of pensions will fur
nish valuable assistance to many hand
some widows for at least bali q century
to come. The veterans will not survive,
OF course, but many q young widow
will mourn till their departure and
draw their pensions until they die of
old age, according to the Pittsburgh
Leader.
Agent Skinner has just completed
his report for the quarter ending JAM
uary 4. and also report for the month
OF January. The report for the quar-
shows that a, ,595 pensioners were paid,
the amount dish rsed being y, $685.
S64.28. These payments were all made
in January, and during that month 1ee
pensioners were added to the rolls,
while 134 died and nine widows were
dropped because of remarriage.
This makes q net increase of as, and
Mr.. Skinner says that it is due to the
marriage of old soldiers to young wom-
en-. The husbands die and then the wife
gets q pension, sometimes when her
husband did not.
There Is no way Of telling from the
records just how many cases of this
kind there are". said Capt. Skinner,
but the number must be ve-y consid-
erable and will cause the pension roll
to remain large for many years to
come"
Continuing, the genial agent de-
scribed . case Of one of the young wild
ows from q neighboring town who he
had learned was married on January 4,
probably Immediately after getting
her quarters pension.
She could have married at any time
and drawn her pension down to the
day of her marriage. She evidently
wanted the whole amount, which
was $50, and delayed the happy day to
get it. She would have had some diff
fculty getting her voucher certified
under different name, and for frac-
tional amount of her quarters pay, SO
that it was probably on the whole
best to get married on pension day.
From the laughing manner in which
Capt. Skinner told this story, it is evil
dent the happy ex-widow would not
have been grudged her little dowry
from Uncle Sam had she announced
her intention to marry Immediately on
receiving it.
The captain did not say so, but it is
probable the government will solve
the question of increase in the pension
rolls through young widows of old SOL
diers by encouraging them to initiate
the example of the practical lady who
got married on pension day.

AMERICAN SHIPS cRowoEoouT.


European Vessels Entirely.
A large fleet Of small steamers, prin'
cipally Of English build, and sailing
under the Norwegian flag, have worked
= revolution in the Cuban fruit trade
at New York, says the Tribune. Only
. few years ago American schooners
small, gr aceful craft, went down tc
Baracoa, Gibara and other ports, load
ed with anything which would pay
freight rate; and usually In about q
month or Ave weeks they would come
backs with holds full of bananas OF
oranges or pineapples. With the de-
lays incident to all sailing craft, it was
no uncommon circ umstance for them
to land their perishable cargoes in q
more or less damaged condition, and
wind and weather permitting" was q
qualification to an agreement respect
ing delivery. While the passing Of the
schooner may be regretted, it is q fact
that the service Is greatly improved
and the business has increased enor'
mously; and this state Of affairs would
be an. unmixed blessing were 1t not
that foreign capital and labor have
reaped large part of the reward. The
little steamers are run at small ex.
pense, the ships company making
wages on which American seamen
could not support their families. They
will make round trip in fifteen OF
eighteen days, and deliver their car
goes in good order. The. fruit can be
picked much ripper than before, rs it ia
reasonably sure that it will be deliv.
cred in New York in week; and as il
is landed direct into the cars on floats
alongside the steamer, it is for sale in
inland cities in less than half the time
formerly required to reach port.
The quickness with which one OF
these steamers will get out of port
after arriving here is a constant sur
prise. It is not an uncommon occur
renee when the "rush" season is on for
one to come sneaking up New York
bay with the first sign of daylight and
warp in 1T her pier. Off come the
matches and the top layer of hay is
pitched out; this has prevented the
fruit from being bruised by the pitch
ing and rolling of the steamer. The

out the fruit. Meanwhile, the captain
has had his br eakfast. He goes ashore,
the vessels manifest is entered and
she is cleared" for her return. Con-
signees come to the pier for their share
of the cargo, and while bananas are
going out on one side coal is coming
in on the other, and by the time the
hold is empty the bunkers are full. A
stray scorpion or tarantula may linger
around, but no attention is paid to it.
The water tanks are filed, the same
crew signs over again and by three
o'clock in the afternoon the sharp
steel nose of the alien craft is cutting
through the waters of the bay, bound
for Cuba and more bananas. Italian
venders, British shipbuilders and Nor
wegian owners and Spanish growers
make good livings, and, in many cases,
snug fortunes; and the ambitious
Yankee, neglecting the day of little
things, let's them do so, and is appar-
emily content with the cheap fruit.

AHEAD OF THE cowcATcHER,


How the Electric Headlight 10 New Used
On Numerous Railroads.
The electric headlight is now used on
many railroads, and w. B. Sparks, who
is interested in q southern road, re-
Gently told writer for the Pittsburgh
Dispatch that his company had found
it . very profitable investment. The
lights cost about three hundred and
seventy-five dollars each, fixed on the
locomotive, and they cost no more
than the oil light to maintain. The
old headlight would not throw its
light on a very dark night more than
one hundred and fifty feet, and it is
impossible for m engineer to slow
up his train in that distance, even
with the emergency brake. Quite an
item in the expense of the road used
to be claims for cattle killed. During
the rainy season the lands along the
line of the road become very wet-in
places they are entirely covered with
water and the cattle come upon the
track seeking some dry spot on which
to sleep. When the old headlight was
in use as many as thirteen cows have
been killed at one time and the damage
claims have sometimes amounted to
over one thousand dollars per month.
Now the electric light throws its rays
from half to three-quarters of q mile
in front Of the engine. Distinctions
can be easily seen at that distance and
some of the engineers insist that .
switch disk can be more easily made
out by it at night than in the daytime.
The lights. moreover, do away with
switch lights, which is quite . saving
to roads that use them to any great
extent Mr.. Sparks says that the en-
gines using the electric headlights on
his road have never killed . cow, and
he is confident that the saving in stock
claims alone will more than pay for al
the headlights on the road within two
years

4 RICE ELEVATOR.
New Ofleans Claims tho First One Eve
Erected In the World.

00W O14000S CSoam9 e0e xltSt O10 GvOx
Erected II the World.
What the New Orleans papers call
"the first rice elevator in the world"
has just been erected in that city, says
the Seattle Telegraph. The ''plant"
consists of an elevator tower, into
which the grain is directed through q
movable chute from the loaded rail-
road cars and from which it is trans
ferred by machinery to the bins and
barrels Of the warehouse, the latter be-
ing connected with the elevator tower
by covered bridge. The rice, on reach
ing the summit of the tower, is spilled
out on rubber belt some sixty feet in
length, running at high rate of speed
between rollers inclined at an angie of
sixty degrees. These rollers are To-
Gated at intervals of eight feet and
serve to keep the rubber belt curved in
such q manner that the rice is not
spilled while in transit. This belt
terminates just within the wall of the
warehouse, where the grain is received
in . hopper. At the bottom of this
hopper is an aperture opened by trap
door, through which the rice is spilled
on to screw conveyor traversing the
length of the second story of the ware
house and passing over series of bins
designed to receive the grain. BY q
delicate arrangement of scales and
weights the rice is weighed while In
the hopper. At regular intervals rub
Der belts similar to the one running
from the elevator tower receive the
rice from the screw and carry it across
the bins. An ingenious contrivance
causes it to be dropped into the recep-
tacle when that receptacle is reached.
A single man can operate this apparatus
and thus control the movement of each
class of rice, till it is finally deposited
in its appropriate bin. It's travels are
by no means terminated at this point.
Six screw conveyors traverse the ceiling
Of . lower story. Opening the trap
doors in the bottom Of the bins on the
story above, the rice enters the spirals
Of these machines and Is borne across
the building and received upon another
rubber belt. This leads directly to the
milling department, where the husks
are stripped OF and the grain pre-
pared for the market. The capacity of
the elevator il estimated 1T about
eight hundred barrels per hour, which
Ia equivalent to twenty four hundred
bushels or four loaded cars- The
warehouse can accommodate ninety
thousand bushels Of grain.
