Uncle Sam's Pension Roll Grows Alarmingly
 Larger, as Seen by the Pension Roll.

Wa ashington, Nov. 5.-The first annual report of Commissioner of Pensions H. Clay Evans to The secretary of the in terior was made public today.
 There were added to the rolls during the year 50,101 new pensioners, and there were restored to she rolls S,971 pensioners who had been previously dropped, to- tal of 54,072. Lossss were S,960 by death, I.07a by re-marfiage of widows and meth- CTS. 1,145 by legal limitation dninors), 2,683 for failure to claim pension for fhree years and 360 for other causes, an ag- greelate of fl, ,122.
 The whole number of pensioners on the rolls June 30 1897, was 976014. The net gain over the previous year was 5,3S0. 1t will thus be seen that the pension rolA has not yet begun to show any di1ninu- ton, though it has been anticipated by my predecessors in office, says Comnlis- sioner Evans, that such would b5' the fact Seven widows of revolutionary soldiers and nine daughters of revolu- tionary soldiers are still on the rolls.
 The amount disbursed for pensions by the pension agents during the year wes $139, ,799 ,242.12, and the amount disbursed by treasury settlement was $150,475.23, n total of &139 ,949.717. This exceeds the amount disbursed during the fiscal year 1896 by the sum of $1,S54 4S0.

HUNTERS STRIPES FOUND.
He Is Heading for Georgia, Where His Father
 liges-0f1icers Notified.

Another trail has been struck of Will Hunter, the desperate negro convict, who. together with John Avery, another convict, escaped from Pratt mines pris- on on Monday evening.
 Yesterday a farmer, residing near Rosed,a1e, across Red mountain, found a suit of convict clothing and pair of shoes in the woods near the public road.
 A message was at once sent to Pratt mines, and Superintendent Rodgers and Officer Phillips went immediately to the scene of the discovery and identified the clothing as that worn by Hunter when he left the prison. The shoes were also identified by the number. The coat had been turned wrongside out ito hide the convict stripes.
 lit is supposed that Hunater forced some negro to furnish him with other clothes
 The direction in which he is going tn- dicates that he is heading for Georgia, and is sticking ito the woods. His Father and a brother live at Macon, and 1t is believed that he is making for that place
 Superintendent Rodgers at once tele- graphed officers along the route to look out for Hunter, and it is thought that he will be apprehended. He Will no doubt make desperate resistance, how ever, and may never be taken alive
 No trace of Avery was discovered, but it is thought that he is with Hunter and discarded his stripes at some other point.

THE DAIRYMER WANT LAWS
Legislature to Be Asked to Pass
 Them.
INSPECTION BEING MADE
The Jefferson County Dairymen and Live Stock Association Will Press the Matter-A
 Prominent Daiyman, Talks. -

The impure milk question, which came up at the meeting of the city eoureil "Wednesday might, has created much comment.
 A number of the leading da.ryTnen of the county have expressed themselves as dndorsing the views taken of the ques- tion, and are using their efforts to have the dairy farms investigated.
 The Jefferson County Dairymen and Live Stock association, which is con- posed chiefly of dairymen, was organ ized for the purpose of looking into such questions, and will make an effort to have the next legislature pass laws touching upon the question.
 They will ask that a law similar to that now in force in the s.ate of Wis consin be enacted, which prescribes the specific gravity of milk, regulates the sanitary condition of dairies and pro- vides for milk inspectors for every city and town, whose duty it is to see that no milk is sold which will not stand the test of the law.
 A prominent dairyman was seen yes- terday by an Age-Herald reporter and said:
 .tThe leading dsirymen of this section gre selling pure milk, but hhere are number of persons selling milk in this eity who make no preterse as to sani- tary regulations about their premises.
 'tThey allow their COW to drink stag nant water, feed them on slops from lho- tels and restaurants, have no facilities for properly cleaning their cans and real ly are not posted as to the dairy busi- ness.
 The Jsfferson County Dairymen and Live Stock association was organized for tie purpose of regulating such ques- tians Alabama is one of a few states in which dairy laws have not been en- acted. We will present the matter to the next general assembly and will use our influence to have them pass laws similar to the dairy laws of Wisconsin, which We think are the most perfect
 "When the city first created the office of milk inspector MT. Gresham, the sani- tary inspector, assumed the duties of the office and was doing good work, when change or admins tgation put him out of office. He had compelled number of dairymen to clean up their premises and was making a regular inspection.
 'sI believe that the dairymen who are complying with the ordinances should be given proper credit in the public prints and that all dairynen who are unable to make the proper showing should also be published in order to let the people know who are selling pure milk"
 Sanitary Inspector Thomas Is now making an investigation of the dairfes, and reports that he found those he has inves igated in good condition.
 The question of pure milk is a vital one to the city and a thorough examination should be made.''

He Lost se. 900 in Bills

From the New York Times.
 How it feels to lose $2,000' could be easily described by A. M. Ainslie, presi- cent of the Ainslie Klondike Mutua. Mining company fer such was his experi- enoe on Friday last. MT. Ainslie left his house eslrly on Friday. with just S2,100 in his pocket. The money belonged to his wife, and had been drawn from a bank i'm Brooklyn the day before for deposit with the Colonial Trust company. As his wife handed him the money she said: Now hsre's safety pin and you'd bet ter pin that nlcrIey to the inside pocket of your overcoat."
 "All right" answered MT. Ainslie, but the minute his wifeis back was turned he stuck the bills into his side pocket. with characteristic masculine careless nesis. They were wrapped in heavy brown paper.
 Without giving them another thought he bearded an elevated express train, and, alighting at Barclay strest station, stepped into a cigar store. Then for the first time he missed his money He promptly notified the Manhattan railroad officials and the police. but has not yet received amy clue to his loss. The bills were in denominations of s10O each.
 Yesterday a man stepped into his of flee and began asking MT. Ainslie sus- picious questions concerning the money

Comment Upon Wall Streets Request For
 Coast Defenses.

London, Nov. 6.--The daily Chronicle in an editorial this morning based upon a resolution of the New York chamber of commerce urging the president and the congress of the United States to im- prove the coast defenses. says: " No doubt if the whole British navy were recalled from the ends of the earth it might put a few shells into Wall street, into Brooklyn and even into Jersey City, but it could not pass through Long Island Sound and it never could get anywhere near Hell Gate.
 Great Britain, however, has some thing else to do than to clear the world of her ships in order to infl.ct a fine on New York. But when the Wall street bear wants a pretext for a scare any thing comes handy
 All the morning papers comment upon such alarmist rumors as a Wall street dodge to send prices down. None of them believe that they should be taken seriously.

GEORGES ENGAGING MANNER.
Why the Single Taxer Became Fayorite With
 Newspaper Men.

From the New York Sun.
 Tt was an interesting commentary on Henry Georges character that in his previous campaign nearly every report CT who was assigned to cover his head quarters voted for him on election day, not because they all believed in his prln- ciples, but because of a liking for the man." said one of them yesterday. "Mh. George was almost unknown to us per sonally when he began his campaign. but the mans earnestness and sincerity and his attitude toward those who were brought in contact with him made us all his friends. MT. George was toler- ant when people rejected his theories, and in all the years I have known him I know of but one occasion when he re- sented bitterly a personal attack that he believed to be unjust. This occurred several days before his death. With several other reporters I was sitting talking with MT. George, when the name of a man who had once been friendly to him and later assaulted him more viciously than any of his opponents was announced.
 "I will see him. said MT. George.

Queen Margsrita and Cardinal Gibbons

From the London Star.
 A friendship has sprung up between the queen of Italy and Cardinal Gib- bons, archbishop of Baltimore. The queen has just sent to the Irish-Ameri- can cardinal a large picture of herself in court costume, with her autograph signature, "Margarita."
 In return the queen has asked for a complete set of the cardinals books, one of which, "Our Christian Inherit arce," has had an immense circulation. The cardinal is perhaps the most liberal of the sacred college, and if he were elected pope he would probably come to a mutually satisfactory understanding with King Humbert in fortnight. But his chances of wearing the triple crown are not particularly rosy. Cardinal Gib- bens is a great walker, and may fre- quently be seen striding along in Balti- more and its vicinity. With truly dem ocra'ic simplicity, he discards most of the pomp and circumstance of the aver age cardinal, and in his personal appear anee he is hardly distinguishable from one of his own parish priests.

AforTin alarmed the neighbors, and the father and mother were sent for They reached the hous' early in the evening and were horrifed to find all of their children dead.
 A tramp, who was seen in the neigh borhood of the house, is suspected of the crime, and detectives are looking for him. No motive for the crime other than that of outraging the eldest girl can be given. The affair has caused tremen- dous sensation in the district. A bloody axe was found near the house.
