$140,0OO,O00 FOR PENSIONS.
Appropriations for The Next Fiscal
Year Will Reach That Amouut

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dee. S-Thc appro.
priatton for pensions for the next fiscal vrar
will be, and may exceed, $40. 600 600.
The subcommittee of the house appropria-
lions committee, which is drafting the meas
ure, finds that the most rigid economy will
not enable it to reduce the amount necessary
Tor the maintenance of the pension Office
beyond the sum of 500 600 in the appropria-
uon for fees for examining surgeons. This
saving will not result from reducing the fees
but because Il surplus to that extent will re-
main uncNpended from this wears ap-
preparation.
The committee finds that the appications
for pensions under the general laws. which
nave been laid aside for several years in ia
vor OF cases arising under the law of 1890
VIII come up for adjudication during the
next fiscal year, and that the effect will be
to oyerrun the 1000. 900 to be appropri-
ated by several million dollars.
This is due t. the circumstances that the
pensions under the law OF 1890 are payable
only from the date of application. while
pensions under the general law carry. in
many cases, heavy Arrears. which largely in
crease the average.
The bill was reported to the committee
Monday, and placed on the House calendar
with the executive, judicial and legislative
bill.

experience with one in Galveston that

through sand all the way, struck II

whether we bored into the log straight
or not, hence 1t may not have been as
large as indicated, but the drill passed
through twelve feet of wood, in a good
state OF preservation, which would
make it supposedly twelve feet in di-
ameter. Now, how long did it tax e
the sand to drift over it to the depth
of over 1000 Observation-Disclosures

Nobody may shoot an elephant on
the Aunamulle or Tipperah Hills, OF
eny where else throughout India aud
Ceylon, without special permission,
unless It be a ''rogue" or plainly dan
gerOus and destructive. The capture
of the wild elephant aud his careful
training are thiags carried out under
al admirable and scientific system,
which gives To the administration in
all IT. branches, and To the native
courts, a superb staff OF massive and
faithful servants, the commissariat and
artillery elephants.
Although they will seldom or never
breed IA captivity, tue grand crea-
lures are easy to keep and manage,
invaluable for many special purposes,
and at their demise whatever tusks
they may carry 60 TO the worlds
stock OF ivory. The older 1t Is the
better generally It's quality. But IN
any case, how senseless 1t seems to eX-
tirpRte the living source of this beau
tlful commodity as the reckless hunt
ers and ignorant native chiefs and
merchants are still allowed TO do in
Central Africa! When shall we see
the governments OF these various re-
gions sensible enough to perceive and
proclaim that live elephants are very
much more valuable even CONNER
cially than dead ones, and that the
preservation of these stately and ser.
vlceable animals shall be henceforward
a fixed policy for African benefit.
1t has been truly remarked that di-
rectly'the native and foreign hunters
are convinced that one live elephant
Is worth dozens of tusks, they will be
as keen to preserve the animal as they
now are to eXterminate him. We
might plead earnestly, even upon the
ground of aestheticism and natural
science, for the protection IN future
of the noble beast. whose majesty and
tranquility of mein so well become
his silent hAunts and philOsophic,
harmless existence. The ears of those,
however, who massacre the innocent
grant TO cut from him twenty
or thirty pounds OF material
for paper knives and shoe horns
would be closed to such remon-
strances. The best hope of all who
understand the value of the elephant
for Africa is that even the most ruth
less of his assassins may come to learn
that they are destroying their own
markets. The rest is for official au-
thorities to do; but certain it is that
II decided measures are not promptly
taken there will be no elephants to
save, and We shall see in another Con-
tinent the shameful human sin and
folly perpetrated which has stripped
America of every free living yestige of
her noble droves of bison. London

Long Travels of a Diamond.

Some years ago Paris jeweler told
81 story of one diamond which had
passed over his counter no less than
eleven times. 1t was a beautiful stone
OF nearly four carats, OF perfect color
and lustre, but easily identified by
means of a small Feather IN the tip
of the lowest part. He bought it from
an East India dealer and had it set in
II ring. 1t was sold to countess in
1869, just before the outbreak of the
Franco-Prussian war. The countess
died in few weeks, and the ring WAS
worn by her husband. He was killed
III the seige of Paris, and few days
after his death the ring was brought
into the store for sale by common SOL
der. He was arrested and the ring
sent to the family of the dead count.
Before the siege ended they brought
In the ring and sold it to the dealer in
order to procure money to buy food.
Directly after the siege it passed into
the hands of an English tourist who
visited the city TO get look at the
ruin wrought by the communists, and
year later back came the stone from
the Indian buyer Of the firm, who, on
being written to and desired to tell
how he got it, stated that it had been
the property of an English tourist
hunter who was killed by tiger, and
his friends sold the ring to get means
to send the body home. The stone
was reset, and soon found purchaser
IN woman who was not long after
murdered i'll her room. Among
the articles taken by the muir
derer, was the ring and the firm
began to wonder how soon it
would turn up. They had not long
TO wait, for all their people had by
this time learned about the stone and
were on the lookout for it. After six
months it was found in the showcase
OF Il jeweler in London, who had bought
1t from firm in Amsterdam. 1t was
bought by the Paris agent and sent
back to be started afresh on its trav-
els. 1t was purchased again by u
woman, who six weeks later was drawn
out of the Seine with the gem on her
finger, and by strange coincidence it
was offered to the firm that sold it by
the police agents, the court having
jurisdiction having ordered it to be
sold. And SO it went from hand to
hand, attended with misfortune at
every change. and usually bringing
death to the possessor. Jewellers Re-

providential meaning2 The greatest of ali
eyangelists since Bible times recently sur-
gested that tho evening services in all the
churches be turned into the most popuIar
style OF evangelistic meetings for outsiders,
surely that is an experiment worth making
If that does not succeed then it does seem
to me all the churches which cannot secure
sufficient evening audiences ought to shut
up their buildings at night and go where the
people are and invite them to come to the
gospel banquet
Let the Christian souls beautifully fed in
the morning, go forth in the afternoon and
evening to feed the multitudes OF outsiders
starving for the bread of which IL man eat
he shall never again hunger. Among those
clear down the gospel would make more
rapid conquest than among those who know
so much and have so much that God cam
not teach or help them. In those lower
depths are splendid fellows in the rough,
like the shoebIack reporter saw near New
York City Hall. He asked boy to black
his boots The boy came up to his work
provokinRly slow and had Just begun when
large boy showed him aside and began the
work, and the reporter reproved him as be-
ing II bully, and the boy replied: "Oh, that's
all right. am going to do it for i'm. You
see he's been sick in the hospital more'n
month, 80 US boys turn in and give i'm
lift" "Do all the boys help him?" asked the
reporter. Eyes, sir. When they amt got
no Job themselves and Jim gets one they
turn in aud help i'm, for he amt strong yet,
you see" "How much percentage does he
give, you2' said the reporter. The boy re-
pied: II don't keep none OF 1t. amt no
such sneak as that All the boys give up
what they git on his job. I'd like to catch
any Teller sneaklng on sick boy, would"
The reporter gave him twenty-five cent
piece and said, "You keep ten cents for
yourself and give the rest to Jim" Cant
do it, sir, It's his customer, Here Jim,"
Such big souls as that strew all the lower
depths Of the cities, and, get them converted
the worlds sin and but little work Of
evangelization would be left for the next
century. Before this century expires let
there be combined effort to save the great
