to all. and on the other hand no noopportunity
for fraud, and each would then be n awarded
according to the extent of his injuries. In
the meantime subcommittee had dccidedn not
TO discriminate g among those who were killed
outright, but to allow each $4,000.
This was included in the appropriation
of the sunGry civil bill Of the iirst session
of the Fiity-first Congress. but in con-
ference the House objected on the ground
that il had had no opportunity ytoinvcstigate
the matter. This was Decessa rily him
draDce to the progress, as the matters TO
some extent had to be gone over again.
Then a commission was appointed a sauthor-
lied by u bill passed, consisting Of the
committee of five OF the Senate and like
number from the House.
The appropriation of $4,000 to the
estates of each of those who were killed
was then made by q separate bill passed
at the second session of that Congress and
the payment was made.
THE committee received 105 applica-
tions frsm those injured, but were 'un-
able to report before the close OF last Con-
gress As three of the members of the COM
mission were not returned and the work
had not been completed Il ques estion arose as
10 WEHU WIS 10 bc uune anu iihdhS uS
cided that as the body was created by a
special law passed, it did not expire until
its work was finished.
Accordingly the commission, with the
exception of Senator Henderson of Ne
braska met here last August, in accordance
with q call from the chairman, and went
over the entire matter. and again sum.
moning the claimants to appear before
it.
"A subcommittee of the commission, con-
sisting of Senator Faulkner and Repre-
sentative Updegraff of the House. was then
appointed TO carry on the work, and In
their hands the matter has since rested.
Their report promises to he voluminous
affair, comprising the affidavits of the
claimants, the testimony of physicians and
witnesses, as well as the most important
item-the finding in each of the 105 indi-
vidual cases of the board of medical
examiners"
Senator Faulkner stated today that lie
hoped to be able to report to the full COM
mission within a week or ten days, but
that it would doubtless require some
time TO get them all together and consider
every case Abll will then he introduced
comprising 100 distinct items.
lowing to the death OF three claimants
since filing their applications, a further
question has arisen as to whether they
shall receive the death rate of $1,000 or
simply the amount allowed for Injuries.
In one case in particular. the party never
made application during his lifetime.

Little has been actually done since the
Ford's Theater disaster of three years
ago to compensate the 105 clerks who
suffered more or less severely from the
catastrophe.
Congress has paid to the widows and
orphans of the dead a slight pension for
the loss of their bread-winners; but the re-
manning victims, many of whom are expe-
riencing q living death, are chatting be-
cause Congress mas been SO slow in eIfcrts
to give them pccuniary compensation for
irreparabe injuries.
In this connection the following letter
will be found Interesting:

GET APPETITE.
If You Don't, You Will Never Be
Strong or Healthy.

Appetite Is one thing that you can't af-
ford to be without, for without it your
health, strength and comeliness flies out or
the window.
Poor appetite means weak stomach,
starved body, sick individual. Good appe-
tite the opposite.
Poor appetite is sign that your stomach
is too weak for digestion. You can aid it
with the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
When your stomach is able to digest all
the food that your body needs. you will
have a good appetite. Not before.
Good food, well digestet. means strength
and n long, healthy life. Undigcsted food
creates poison which II fleets tn, whole body,
and may give you headache, dizziness,
nausea, constipation, flatulcncc, languor,
wea kness, mental depression, siomacliache.
fever, nervousness. offensive breath,
anaefnia, rheumatisir, etc.
All these disorders will be relieved if YOU
will take Shaker Digestive Cordial.
1t is pure vegetabl digestive and

purifies the system OF the pOisOns OF indi-
gestiOn and makes you strong. fat and

THINKS IT WAS A CANARD.
Mrs. Nanscn Rejects the Story of Her
Husbands Return

Berlin, March 6.-The Lokal Anzeiger
publishes an interview with the wife of
Dr.. Nansen, the Arctic explorer. who, it
has been reported, is returning from the
north after having discovered the pole.
She says she is dcluged with kilograms and
letters which she is unable TO answer. She
Understood nothing about the question,
which she left to scientists.
Mrs. Nansen was cool and composed.
She declared that she was convinced that
her husband would eventually reach the
goal, but she had no doubt that the recent
story that he had found the North Pole
was a canard. Success, she added, could
not be effected SO quickly and easily.
Moreover, the statements that had been
received were vague. There was nothing
positive or authentic about them. In
conclusion, she said she derived the grea t.
est comfort and Joy from knowing the
worlds admiration and sympathy for her
husband.

JUMPED DOWN THE SHAFT.

Terrible Suicide Of II Stranger Who
Failed to Get Employment.
Ashland, Pa, March Gan unknown
man, evidently foreigner, appeared at
the Morea Coliery office and applied for
work yesterday morning. Upon being
informed by the outside foreman that he
could not be accommodated, he went to
the inside foreman, but received the same
reply.
He seemed very much disappointed at
the result OF his efforts to secure employ
ment and walked slowly away.
Half an hour later he was found at the
mouth OF the shaft, peering into the dark
abyss below. He seemed nervous a nd
excited, and two of the employees at the
head OF the shaft walked toward him.
As they drew near he deliberately
jumped down the shaft, at the bottom of
which his dead and terribly-mangled body
was found twenty minutes later.

HELPED BY THE POLICE.
Associated Charities Not Called Upon
to Relieve Their Poor.

Chief Clerk Richard Sylvester denies
the published statement, attributed to
Superintendent Wilson OF the Associated
Charities. to the effect that the police de-
partment has turned over to that organiza-
tion. or any other, its dependent poor.
AS a matter Of fact. Mr.. Sylvester states,
he had portion of last years relief fund
left over, and from this and other receipts
every applicant for charity this winter
has been helped by the police as far as
the money at their command would al

either turned away or sent to any charity

More emergency cases We're relieved. and
that quickly, by the police department
this season than by any of the aid societies

THEBAsIs OFCOMPLAINT.

A lady, whose husband was made n
physical wreck in the disaster, said last

| commission has practiced, II has not
given the victims u proper examination
| 1t is true that they have medical examiners,
| but they are al, chosen from the War, Navy.
and Treasury Departments. The testimony
OF ones private physician or OF a civil
practit icncr is rot admitted.
LAS far as tie delay is concerned: how
! can the members of the commission be
expected TO hurry, when they are said TO
be getting SIS day for tteir services.
Many OF the men injured were, like my
husband, old .oldicrs. A large number OF
these have lost their places since then,
because they were so badly injured that
they could not perform the work they
were accustomed to do before The acciGcnt.
The victims are powcrless to press their
cause because they have no lobbyists. II

gress. and they have no none yto hire them
Many of them are now destitute. and some

No RELIEF THIS SESSION.
When some of the members OF the COM
mission were approached and asked why it
had required so long to make out an assess
ment OF the damages each one OF the in
jured WAS entitled to receive, the repor-
ter WAS informed that the work had pro-
GreSsed as rapidly as possible, and that The
commission would in q short time have n
hill prepared providing for lO5 distinct ap-
preparations to the survivors of the disas-
ter.
The members admitted that the bill would
yet have TO be approved by Congress, and 1t
Is doubtful whether that body will pass
upon it at the present session.
Senator Harris, the chairman of the
commission, gave the following explana-
tion of the delay:
"At the first opportunity after the dis
astcr members began introducing individ-
ual bills for the relief of the sufferers and
for The families of those who were killed
1t was found that there was no committee
of the senate to whom such matter could
pror.riy be referred. as a similar case
had ur,e. before arisen. Finally. reso-
luton was introduced by myself for the
au.o'itInent OF a select committee OF
five T." whom the entire matter should be
lefr. they to examine ca ch case, make their
to til" Senate.
"Tnc committee consisted of Senators
White. Faulkner. Mcmillan. Henderson aud
my,.,ii. Our first step was to prepare an
appl:, tion blank which was furnished to
claimants. and the questions We're so con
structed that their answers would reveal
the whole facts in each Individual case.
Acting upon my suggestion, after was
made chairman Of the committee, board
OF medical examiners was appointed, con
sisting of physician from the medical staff
oftheWar, ,Nayyand Treasury Departments,
who was selected by the secretary.
ITO this beard was referred the appli-
cant's sworn statement. together with
tina, ofhisat, ending physician and medical
examination was also made as TO the extent
of the claimants injuries, their nature
and probable duration.
NO CHANCE FOR FRAUD.
This plan, il is said. was adopted, in order
that there might be absolute fairness shown

AT THE THEATERS.

"The Ensign William Haworth's naval
drama, was the attraction at the Grand last
evening. The audience was large and the
production was given hearty reception. The
play is. a study in blue and gold. 1t pos
sesses the attraction which always attaches to
the service, and the brass buttons and gold
lace make a fitting setting for the patriotism
In which the story abounds. 1.-THE Ensign"
is not the work of symbolist. Its effects
both Of comedy and pathos-are dashed in
with broad, bold strokes Its ciimaxes are
melodramatic, and it's patriotism Is at times
almost obtrusive, but 1t is none the less true
to life in Its types, and the applause earned
while the story was developed, proved that,
after all. nothing appeals more strongly to
the general public than common love Of coun-
try.
The story Is new neither to ST. Paul nor
to theater goers, so there is no need to re-
hearse the plot. The company which pre-
scented it last evening was one, in the main.
to be commended. The Jack Dudley Of
Charles Chappelle was rugged bit OF char
acter work, admirable even in its profanity
and effective In It's pathos not less than it's
humor. William Ingram, as the hero, was
both virile and graceful, and resisted what
must be strong temptation to overdo the
heroic. Lawrence Williams, as the English
lleulGudut, WIS QulIe ali that Ills part pei AtI-
ted. The Lincoln of Logan Paul has become
historic in the records Of the stage for its
sterling likeness, and Wilson Deal. as Sec
rotary Welles, also had an excellent counter
felt.
OF the women Of the cast, Miss Bessie Tay-
lor, as Alice Greer, the heroine, is the only
one given much Of opportunity, and even the
role assigned to her is colorless contrasted
with the glitter of the uniforms and the pa
triotic catch phrases which fall to the share
of the men. In the scene of her appeal to
save the life of her intended husband, Miss
Taylor appeared to the best advantage. She
was vigorous and womanly. If the lighter
portions of her Interpretation suffered in con-
trast, perhaps the part; more than the act
ress, is to be criticized.
1t can be laid down a general rule that
children on the stage are Objectionable, but
Little Wednesday, who has a prominent part
in "The Ensign" comes close to being the
exception needed for proof There is tempta-
ton to use the word excellent, and clever, or
capital, is hardly too strong praise for
the tiny actress.
1.-THE Ensign, 3 aside from its dramatic in
terest and it's merit a production Is well
worth seeing as a lesson in the love which
men have for their country, as a memory OF
the war and as side light on the kindly
character OF Lincoln. 1t will be repeated at
the Grand during the week. with matinees on
Tuesday and Saturday afternoons.

meet It. Factories began to go into
receivers hands. Makers began to
take advantage of the lower grade
prices at which to sell their high-grade
wheels. Then the department stores
took turn. They bought bankrupt
wheels at cut prices. This broke
the combination. 1t went to pieces.
A year ago no business In the
country was so fiourishing none max
ing such gains as was bicycle manufac
turing; today there is none so pros
trate. 1t is the victim Of It's own greed
mess
That there will be a reaction Is in
evitable. The wheel has come to stay.
The craze will subside; wheels will
cease to be the fashion, but they have
demonstrated too fully their utility to
ever pass away. They will be as sta
pie as wagons or carriages, and an in
creasing number of people will use
them for purposes Of 1ocomotion. But
the era of national boards OF trade"
combinations to maintain unreason-
able prices, has gone. Wheels will be
made and sold as shoes and clothing
and wagons are, with margin Of rea-
sonable profit to the maker and dealer.
Meanwhile the manufacturers have
learned an expensive lesson in the flu
tility of combinations to maintain
prices that are unreasonable.

WHAT CAUSED THE DEFICIT.

Edward Atkinson, who has become
and dangerous men who have a fac
ulty for getting at the exact facts and
a fearlessness in using them, discusses
in Bradstreet's the causes of the de-
f1ciency of the revenues. He regrets
that when the opponents of high
tariff are ready to vote the Republi-
can ticket" the leaders of that party
should repel them by imputing the
present dangerous conditions to mere
changes of administration or to chang
es of the tariff policy" The fact that
they do it makes it necessary that
''some one audit the accounts of the
nation" He adds that it is well to
keep always in mind the axiom that
figures never lie except when liars
make figures
The deficiency is due to the acts of
congress. and responsibility rests on
that congress to whom the acts can
be traced that resulted in deficiency
of revenue. He states the cash account
of the treasury at the close of the
respective administrations of Mr..
Cleveland in 1889 and of Mr. Harrison
in 1893, taking the fiscal year in each
case. On June 80, 1889, the net balance,
over the gold reserve, was $1S5, 3S2, sos;
on June 80. 1893, 1t was $21, 743, S39 over
a gold reserve that had fallen to $685.
4S5,414. The expenditure averaged
SAB per capita from 1886 to 1889 in
elusive, under Cleveland, and 1871
under Harrison. The revenues for
the eleven years 1S79-1S90 were, per
capita, s647; the expenditures, $4.74;
the surplus revenue, s1.73, amounting
to over 100000 900 year. From 1891
to 1896 the revenue averaged 1922, the
expenditure $40 per capita. To show
how income fell off and out-go in
creased in these years, we give the
annual per capita averages:

amply suf1ced in the first period QS79

people is given to the real cause of the
deficiency, namely, lavish expenditure.
