Prosperity for Pensioners.

From the Little Rock Democrat,
The Nashville Sun is of the opinion
that Secretary Bliss report confirms
the worst fears excited by Mr.. Nc
Kinley's eall for more liberal pen
sions. The best guide to what is
coming is to be found in what we have
had in the past:
The last year of Cleve-
land first term the pen
sion appropriation was : SO, 900, 900
Harrison S first year 1906, 500, 900
Harrison 8 second year 118, 500, 600
Harrison s third year 141 200. 900
Harrison s fourth year 1853, 900, 900
Increase under the last Re-
publican administration 3 SO, 900, 900
The New York World, in comment
ing upon the Bliss report, gives some
interesting data. 1t declares that 1.-the
net decrease in Cleveland second term
was $ls, $50, 900. There was slight
increase in the last fiscal year, all of it
in the four months after the inaugur-
alton of Mckinley.
THE number now on the pension
rolls is 978,014, and even Mr.. Bliss
owns up to certain increase of about
100, 900. He takes the rosy view that
this addition will add only 81 900, 900 to
the annual appropriation. But con-
servative calculation shows that the in
crease will be nearer SEQ 200 900.
UNLESS there is an entire change of
policy the pensions appropriation for
Mr.. Mckinley s last year will be about
$3.50, COO. 900.
In 1865 the pensions appropriation
was Si3, 500, 900; in 1875, S2S $50, 900 !;
in 1880, $65. 500. .O0O in 1895, s13s, $50, e
900. That is, it has more than doubled
in each decade since the close of the
war.

pOrtant Capture.

portant Capture.
On Monday the 10Th Harold Marquisee, of
Utica, N. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, N.
Y, on warrant sworn out by the DR.. Will
lia1ns' Medicine Co., charging him with forg-
cry. On the 18th of December Marquisee
visited a photo-engravet in Syracuse, say
ing he was the representative OF the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged for the
making of full set of plates for the direc-
ton sheets, labels, ETC., of the famous Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News
of this reached the home office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when he
should return for the plates. He returned
On the 18th, and was accordingly arrested
and is now in Jail in Syracuse awaiting ex-
animation, which occurs on March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plumber, such
as medical books, typewriters, rugs, ETC.,
found in Marquisee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and IN
search of his apartments In Utica found a
complete outfit for counterfeiting. consist
ing of crucibles, bellows, nickel. lead,
forge, charcoal furnace, and several plas-
ter-of-paris molds. The United States mar.
shals want him just as soon as DR.. Williams
Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no
doubt, he will be sentenced for long Pc
Rod.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary, medicine bust,
ness; for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store in
the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his imita-
tions at discount of from2 per cent. to 5 per
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them up in small
lots and at discount from dealers who were
overstocked. BY working fast and making
long jumps, he would have secured many
hundreds Of dollars in short time. The
proprietors of Dr. Williams Pink Pills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue, be-
kept these spurious goods out of the market.

seemed to have DONE There was abun-
the city authorities had paid back large
sums of money, declaring that it was due
to leakage that the bill was so high, and
yet there was testimony that the pipes
did not leak.
Capt. Purse, president of the board of
trade, which uses the meters to advant-
age, declared that he would not deny but
that the case made out by the committee
was unanswerable. He was expected to
make a strong fight on the proposition to
abolish the water meters, but he did not
do it, though he declared himself in favor
of a meter system. He said that he
thought it constitutional TO levy the tax
on water in the old way and if there was
anything the matter with the meters he
thought it was the fault of the meters and
not the system He thought that perhaps
another patent of meters would probably
fill the bill.
The board of trade he said, has found
1t could save more than 33 per cent. on the
water supply for its building.
After the matter had been discussed at
length, the commissioners held an execu-
tive session and determined to take out
the meters without delay. The city treas
urer will be notified to-day and the meters
will be removed at once. The system by
streets has only been on CASTOR, Hall
and Huntingdon, though there were sew
eral large buildings which had them.
The change is retroactive, beginning July
l. and for the last six Alonths of the year
the payment for water will be as before
the meter system was begun.
