PROTESTS OF PENSIONERS

tion Order May Fall Through.

Look With Dfsfayor Upon the
Plan to Merge Agencies.

The order issued by ex-President C1eye-
number OF pension agencies from eighteen
TO nine, and which il was thought by the
last administration would go into effect
on September l, 1897, viii probably
be revoked by this Admins trahon.
Henry Clay Evans, Commissioner Of Pen
sions, and Secretary Bliss strongly favor
the adoption of such a course.
III was maintained by Mr. Cleveland that
the consolidation OF agencies would re-
suit In the saving of several hundred thou
sand dollars each year, but the present
Commissioner OF Pensions after having
investigated the matter aud heard the COM
plants arising from the Representatives
OF States and the citizens of cities adj
versely affected by the order of Mr..
Cleveland, believes that the present plan
Is the cheaper.
Mr.. Cleveland argued that asinasmuch as
the act OF Congress, approved March %,
1896, governing the payment of pensions,
had been so amended as to require all
pensioners to be paid by checks remitted
10y mail, instead Of requiring pensioners
to be paid personally at the agency, it
would be economical to consolidate the
agencies SO as to reduce their number
one half, The agencies at Augusta, Me-,
and Concord, N II. were to be discontinued
or merged into the agency at Boston, which
agency should comprise the States of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
The agency at Buffalo was to be discon-
tinued and merged into that at New York
city.
The agency atPittsburg was to be closed
up and merged into, that at Philadelphia
The Knoxville and Louisville agencies were
to he consolidated with the Washington
agency, which should cover the District
OF Columbia, and the States of Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia. West Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas. The
agency at Detroit vas to be discontinued
and merged into that at Indianapolis. The
Milwaukee agency was to be closed UP for
the henefit of the agency at Chicago, and
the agencies at Des Moines, and at Topeka
were to be done away with for the benefit
OF that at st. Louis
Naturally, the citizens OF the cities DESC

and it is understood on high authority
that their influence has prevailed, and that

darkness; but this is a mistaken idea
True, many mushroom growers do much

The Department Of Agriculture has Just

culture ofnushrooms The pamphlet, which
covers twenty pages, was written by VIII

supervision of the Division OF Vegetable
Physiology and Pathology
The mushroom OF commerce. as Is ex-
planned in the introduction, is practically
the fruit of the mushroom plant and not
the plant itself, as some might be led to
believe The plant proper is a white or
blush white mold, called myceiium, or, in
garden language, spawn, that grows in
fields and manure piles. In its younger
stage it, becomes a network of white
threads, and it is from the joints on
these threads that the mushrooms spring
In growing the crop, therefore, it is I'M
portant to keep the mycelium, or spawn,
alive and spreading, and where this is
done the production OF mushrooms is sure
to follow.
