MAKES A Big SAVING
Changes in the Pension Law by
Which Payments Are
. Made by Mail.
Number Of Agencies in the
Country Cut From Eight
| 49, cen to Nine.
Less Possibility of Error and
More Promptness in Se-
curing Cash. ~

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The president
has signed, on the recommendation of
Secretary of the Interior Francis, an
important order reducing the number
of pension agencies from Is to 8. The
object of the order is to effect a very
large saving to.the government with
out inconveniencing the pensioners.
The secretary demonstrates that by
this reduction of the pension agencies
the cost of disbursing pensions can be
reduced by at least $150,OOO per an
mum. The change was made possible
by all amendment to the law govern
ing the disbursing of pensions, which
amendment was approved March 70,
1896. It required that all pensioners
should, after that date, be paid by check
RENTED by mail.
Reports from the pension agencies III
reply to inquiries as to the operation of
the new law were to the effect that
under it the pensioners are paid much
more promptly ; that the possibility of
error is minimized, and that upon the
whole it is much kmore satisfactory to
the pensioners than the former law.
The agents also advise that the pen
sioners receive their pensions when re-
mitted by mail at their homes, where,
being
Surrounded by Family Influences,
the pensioner is much more likely to
make judicious disposition of his pen
sion money. This executive order will
go into effect Sept. next, it's execu-
ton having been postponed until that
date in order that no pensioner should
suffer inconvenience in consequence of
delay in receiving his pension, and to
give ample time for the removal of the
rolls and records from the agencies dis
continued. The consolidation was made
by uniting existing agencies and the
entire jurisdiction thereof in order that
no expense should be incurred by the
making of new rolls. Among the
changes of agencies are: The agency
of Milwaukee is discontinued and pay
ments are made from Chicago; those at
Des Moines from St. Louis, new
agency being established at the latter
point, because of the better mail facil-
tiles there than at Des Moines

Christian Endeavor Rates.

New YORK, Feb. 9.-R. D. Caldwell,
chairman of the Western Passenger
association, left for the West. While
here he instructed district agents in
the East to make no concessions and
fix upon no routes for Christian En-.
deavor excursions to the national con-
vention to be held in San Francisco
until after advised. The Eastern
agents are waiting for a decision from
Chicago before fixing the rates from
the East to Chicago, but the latter will
undoubtedly be one fare for the round
trip.

Early English bindings.


During the reign Of Elizabeth the

and restrained ornament. giving place

height In the bindings produced for
James I, which were commonly dotted
all over with f5T9ers-de-luce,o thistles,
while the corners were flled with a
heavy block Of coarse design. During
the reign Of Charles the bindings were
as a rule copied from French work and
the designs carried cut with very small
tools; but, though foreign influence was
strongly felt at first, the English bind
ers soon struck out line OF their own,
and Samuel Mearne, the binder to
Charles II, produced some admirable
work and seems to have introduced the

name of cottage binding to a certain

Lincoln and tie widow.

During al that dreadful period when
the civil war was ravaging the country
Lincoln held the reins Of the govern
ment, and, although worn ont with IN
eeasing toll, he never neglected aa op-
portunity to help those who suffered.
One day a poor woman. whose tears
Aad worn burrows down her cheeksgain-
ed an audience with Lincoln, and IL a
fer words refzted the sad tale Of her
husband, who had fought N the Union
army only % Lose his H. ard Of her
three Buys, who we-e then fighting. She
requested tie discharge Of her eldest
hey, that she might have some che to
support her. Lincoln's heart responded
TO the appeal, and he replied, Ger
tainly if you have given Is all and
your prop kas been taken away you are
Justly entitled to enc Of your boys. .
The poor woman went away light OF
heart, only to return later, tearfully
begging the release Of her second son.
The discharge Of the first con had come
too late. He was killed before It reached
him. Sadly Lincoln sat down and wrote
the requisite order for the release Of the
second son, and, rising, handed the pa
per 10 tie afflicted woman, saying:
4tNow you have one and 1 have one OF
the two boTs left. That Is no more than
right" Weeping with Joy, the poor
mother blessed Lincoln and hurried out
