good-fcIiowShip which must prevail in
the company to say that however severe
the attack ii was invariably received in
good part with an occasional goodhumorcd
threat upon the life Of the staff.
Words were coined and the epitbetS ap-
piled, when practically applicable, have
in some instances chung to the man as
part OF his name. The obituaries" as
the Bayonet was pleased to call them,
were short and original, and the cartoons
kept them company.
One OF the members, whose duties Were
manifold, and whose pride was alleged
to be in company herewith, was depicted
as Poo Bah.
Another one, whose good nature is an
adage, not only with this but with various
other organizations, is Mr.. j. C. Kondrup,
His acrobatic propensities naturally sug-
gested the cartoon which appeared.
Mr.. R. c. Rice, one of the best-known
and most popular of the boys, is expressive
in apparel, and, as the Bayonet says, makes
a noise herewith. The following ap-
peared:
Among the many friends of the organ
ization is Mr.. George w. Evans, disbursing
officer in the Interior Department, and
lieutenant of the National Rifles.
Showing that the paper was no respector
of parsonage, the captain was cartooned
in one of his various attitudes.

which frequently occurred, and retractions
called for, the editorial department gave

trips in this fashion around the academy
the pupil, finding a fall an utter impOs-
Sbility, gains confidence and urges the
wheel along until, after the lesson is over,
she is nearly satisfied that she is already a
proficient bicyclist.
After the lesson she is taken In charge
by the neat maid in the ladies' dressing
rooms, and perhaps ends the lesson, as she
should, by taking a warm shower bath
and a rub down. Leaving her cycle cos
tune in her locker, she is quickly dressed
for the street, and the first lesson is a
thing of the past.
Enthusiastic over her first venture, the
pupil is eager for a speedy Accomplishment
of her ambition TO ride ard become the
proud posSessor of a gliSteniug Columbia
or whatever wheel she swears by or in
tends to swear by. The next lessons gener-
ally contain a surprise for the learner, fer
the instructor merely balances the wheel
by touching the saddle lightly, and after
a few turns round the bah he will often
remove his hand altogether, aud the learner
will be actually riding without any aid.
But she is not told this, or she would
probably lose her balance and perhaps fall
through surprise or nervousness. Thus the
pupil has learned to ride without knowing il.

Coroner's Jury Finds No One to
Blame For His Death.
He Was Within the Fenced Enclosure

Much interest was manifested in the cor

the testimony of several witnesses, this
verdict was rendered:
That said Henry Smith came to his death

run over by engine No. 1413 ofthe Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. whilst trespa ssing in
the yards of said road. aifi from the evidence

The first witness was Superintendent

the tracks, about sixty feet from the street
crossing and on The company's property
Lemuel Marks. engineer of locomotive No

Arthur Pinero's friends tell a good story
relevant to his brief connection with Hen
ry Irving's company at the Lyceum. At
one of the rehearSals Irving found fault
with the long-haired wig that the young
actor was wearing. "Pinero my boy, that
will not do; YOU must not wear long hair
at that period" referring to the time OF
the play, 'or in this thcater." "Ah, Mr..
Irving" retorted young PinerO, looking
attentiyely at the great actors flowing
locks, lat all periods there have been men
silly enough to wear their hair long"

PENSION BILLS DISCUSSED.

The House Committee Yesterday Con
sidered Two General Measures.
The House Committee on Invalid Pensions
yesterday began the consideration OF two
general pension bills. one proposes to re-
duce from ninety to sixty "a rs the service
required under the act Of 1890, and the
other looks to the granting OF a service
pension for ninety days service.
The proposition OF the latter is to grant
a pension OF So per month for the first
ninety days and 1 cent per day for each
days service over the ninety-day limit.
The merits Of the measures We're generally
discussed, but no conclusion was reached

The cons iGprajion OF Mt. Hcnderson's
bll N the House. providing that the Zee
Hystem. by which district attorneys aud
United States marshalS are paid, be sub
stituted by fixed salaries, formed the
basis fer considerable comment about the
city hall yesterday, and a general dlsap-
prevail of the bin so far as it includes
the District Of Columbia was expressed.
1T simply means that by its passage
the district attorney aud myself VIII get
$1,000 less n year each said Marshal
" lson TO TIE Times. "Of course, there
iE nothing particularly desirable about a
TeduCt ion in ones salary"
The salaries Of none of the assistants or
Clerks I'D the offices would be affected
by the change.
HOW OFFICIALS FEEL.
The proposed bin is undoubtedly a good
one explained Mr. Robinson. deputy mar
Fhal. "but ] do not hink II should be made
20 apply TO the District OF Columbia.
There is bat one district in the country
that does SO large business as his, aud
that is he southern district Of the State
of New York.
Beyond paying the salary OF himself
and his assistants, the marshal OF the
District turns into the United States Treas
airy onc-thlrd Of his gross earnings. There
IS DO other office IN the country that
Goes that. More civil suits are conducted

and another is that the offices OF dis
tTIct attorney and marshal are more eco

raDgcmCnt.
QUITE REDUCTION.
II Mr. Hcndcrson's bill becomes a law
they Will each get $4,000 yearly. This
sum is tic maximum salary provided for
IN the scale and a this is one Of the niCst
important districts il would OF course re-
ccive one OF lie largest salaries. A graded
scale with $1,000 AZ tie minimum salary
is provided for all the districts.
AsJEC law stands at present the attorneys
IN All Tie districts, with two exceptions,

$1,000 in fees. in scores Of cases this
obstacle has leen surmOuntcd, however, by

sun worse abuses were practioed in
some of Tic rural districts, where 40
Itr cent Of Tic prosecutions in The United
States courts have been finally nOlle
pressed in the past few years because there
was no plausible grounds for prose utiOn.
The attorneys and narshals got their
fees however.
As stated, though, the judiciary and

Of an expense 10 Uncle Sam. The law does
