Tong list of those who will constitute the
Boston party.
1t is confidently expected that the coming
convention will be the largest in point of
attendance of any previously held. In 1892
10000 persons attended the convention held
In New York, which up to this time holds
the record for attendance; but 1t is expect
ed that Bostou's registration will reach
mark fully 10000 names in advance of New
York's number. The delega ton from the
District will be one of the largest to visit
Boston, and elaborate preparations are be-
Ing made at the other end of the line for
the proper reception of the local party.
While all Boston will act hosts
to the visiting thousands, the men,
bers of Union Congregational Church
in particular will see to the interests of the
favored delegates from TIE nations head
and make their stay as agreeable as cor
dial Christian Endaavor BostonianS can
possibly make it. The hotel at which the
local delegation will stop will he profuseiy
decorated with flags and bunting, and
across the street-in front of the building
will be stretched a huge banner, on whlcl
will be conspicuously displayed the n,otto

Things of Interest to Be Shown by

The Treasury Department is going to
spread itself at Atlanta. Details Of its eX-
hibit have not been decided upon as yet.
but 1t will embrace many interesting fea-
lures. For example, the medals for the
exposition will be turned out on the spot
from a coming press of the sort used by
the government. This will be feature of
the display of the mint bureau. Also
collection will be shown of fac-siniies of
the medals issued at various times by the
government of the United States.
No decision has been reached as yet as to
whether the bureau of the secret service
shall offer an exhibit. This division Of the
Treasury Department has not been repre-
scented at any previous fair or exposition.
What it might show in the way of count
erfeit notes and coins. together with pho
tographs of noted forgers and apparatus
employed in their industry, would be re-
markedly interesting, of course. But the
notion has been held hitherto that such
matters were best kept in the dark, while
the display of limitations of the national
currency to the general public might con-
vey unfortunate suggestions to some peo-
pie.
The bureau of engraving will exhibit fac
SMILES Of all notes and bonds that have
been issued by the government up to date.
The registers office will place on view a
collection of actual and real specimens of
all the bonds and notes printed by Uncle
Sam including the old Colonial ana revolu-
tionary currency. To these will be added
a complete series of the revenue stamps,
which will be shown by the bureau of in
ternal revenue.
The lighthouse beard will show the ap-
paratus used in its business, including
lanterns, Illuminating oils, etc. The ma
rine hospital service will exhibit models
of quarantine stations, detention camps
and steam dsinfecting chambers. If it
can be arranged, separate building will
be established for the life-saving bureau
on the shore of an artificial lake. and a
crew will be sent to Atlanta to give daily
drills and to show how people are rescued
from wrecks.

sUNDRY PENSION DECISIONS.
Interesting Intricncies Incident to
Identifying Intending Indi4ents.

Interesting 1ntrfcnctes lnc1uent 10
Identifying Intending Indigcnts.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds of the In
terror Department has rendered a number
of decisions In pension appeal cases. In
the case of Jesse Curry of Kentucky, Who
was granted both invalid and dependent
father pensions, the assistant secretary
holds that at the date of the granting OF
a second pension the applicant must decide
under which law he desires to receive a
pension, and after that no change can be
permitted Another case is where woman
who was deserted by her soldier husband,
hut was never divorced, married again and
lived with this second husband, both before
and after the death of the first, through
whom she claims pension. Secretary
REYNOLDS holds that the second marriage
was void; that the woman is the legal
widow of the soldier and entitled to pen
sion.
In other cases Secretary Reynolds holds
az follows: Where a claim for pension is
rejected the attorney of record is allowed
ninety DAYS to take the steps necessary to
reopening or to file an appeal. If the at
torney of record shall have done this and
within the ninety days allowed him a new
DECLARE ton be filed by second attorney,
such filing is contributory service on he
mart of the latter and is to be credited to
the former. IT, on the contrary, the origi-
nal attorney fails to take the action re-
ouired but instead files a new declaration,
his position is the same as that of an at
torney who has had no previous connection
with the case, and such filing Is a pro-
ceeding de novo. The attorney who first
files a sufficient declaration and valid power
of attorney will be recognized.

DECEIVED ny APPEARANCE.
The Surprising Result of Dog Fight
Mt Sitla.


"JJp in Alaska" said Col Ainsworth to a
Star reporter. 1.-The Indians have a native
dog, large. savage and shaggy. which goes
by the name of coyote These dogs are
much larger than the prairie wolves of that
rame, and look much more like the big
wolves of the plains. They are. however,
and very plainly, nothing but dogs, and
you can see hundreds of them around any
of the Indian villages. In the dullness OF
Alaskan life, every method Of amusement
is resorted to. Dog fights are common. and.
1 might say, very popular. Everybody but
the chaplain always goes to dog hight,
and the mere intimetion that a dog light
is pending is enough to hurry everybody
through his business, so that he may be
foot-loose to attend. On one of the steam
boats which used to ply up and down the
Alaskan coast, the officers had bulldog
that weighed about % pounds, and whose
mission 1t was to drive away dull care.
Whenever the boat stopped they would let
Jack-that was the dogs name-out on the
wharf, and Jack would tackle the first dog
he came to, and then there would be a
fight Jack was a great warrior and won
all his battles. And so fond was ne OF
these martial affairs that whenever the
steamer began nearing its pier Jack always
crowded anxiously to the front at the
gangway and was the first one down the
plank and onto the wharf. Jack was al
ways looking for fight, and II he couidn't
find one he felt panied and discontinued.
lone day 1 was lying asleep in my state
ROOM The boat was at Sitka. One OF the
officers came down and awakened me.
There's dog out on the wharf that
looks like WOLF he said. One of the
deck hands has tied him up, and as soon
as the work Is over we're going to turn
Jack loose and let him lick him.
This was very inspiring, as information.
and l at once arose to be present at the
ceremony. Jack was aboard the boat, and
hadn't yet heard of the foe. l took look
at the victim, which the men had roped up
and found him a sad, taciturn dog; in fact,
one of those Indian dogs which we called
coyotes.
There was no preliminaries. when jacks
time came. When he was turned loose ne
started in at the coyote with the greatest
ardor. The battle didn't last over thirty
seconds but was the most savage tbihg Q.
the kind l ever beheld. At the END OF
thirty seconds that desipsed slouch OF q
COYOTE had simply cut the bulldog 10
nieces and he was too dead 10 skin. 4ne

some of the bereaved officers VINO mad
been warm friends of Jack wanted to mete
ont death to the coyote. But fairSr senti-
rnent prevailed He had won his battle on
The SQUARE and there was nine-tenths
vote In favor of his being liberated. He
was thrown loose and lurked off with q
sort of hang-dog expression, with his tall
between his legs, as If there wasn't an
ounce Of real fight in him. But We looked
at our dead bulldog and knew better"
