Mr.. Nye's encouragement:

PENSION AGENCY.

Secretary Francis msds the Change and
Cleveland Approved It-ners Pensina-
ers In Missoari Than Kansas
Reasons fer the Change.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s,-The president
has signed, On the recommendation Of
Secretary of the Interior Francis, an
important order reducing the number
Of pension agencies in the United
States from IS 70 nine. The object Of
the order is to effect a very large sav-
ing 70 the government without incon-
VenienciHg the pensioners The secre-
tary demonstrates that, by the reduc-
ton of the pension agencies, the cost
Of disbursement Of pensions can be re-
duced by at least $3.50, 900 peg annum.
This executive order will 60 into
effect September I next, its execution
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
discontinued 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. The agencies
at Concord, n. H., and Augusta,
Ne, are discontinued, and pay
ments hitherto made there are ordered
made from the agency at Boston,
Mass; the pensioners heretofore paid
at Buffalo, N. Y, are to be paid from
New York city agency; those at Pitts
burgh from the Philadelphia agency;
those at Louisville and Knoxville from
Washington; these at Detroit from In
dianapolis; those at Milwaukee from
Chicago; those at Des Moines and To
peka from st. Louis, where a new agen-
cy is established.
A new agency is established at St,
Louis because of the better mail facili-
ties than at Des Moines or Topeka, and
for the further reasons that there is a
government building at st. Louis which
can be occupied without cost to the
government; and there is also a sub
treasury there. A pension agency
was removed from st. Louis to Topeka
in 1882. There are more pension
ers now in Missouri than in Kan
sas or in any state formerly paid
by the Topeka or the Des Moines
agency. There are in Missouri 58,812
pensioners; in Kansas, ~, 4S3; in Iowa.

conclusion on a maximum rate bill.
The bill makes two classes of freight
and these are sub-divided 1, 2, g, 4, 5
and A. B. G. ., E, The rates in this
bill are ten per cent above the bill the
senate adopted two years ago and
Chairman Brown says they are ten
per cent. below rates now IN effect IN
Kansas. The corn rate is ten per cent
below the other senate bills schedule
and % per cent. below rates now Ia
effect The wheat rate is the same as
in the old senate bill and q per cent
below rates now in effect. the cattle
and hog rate is the same as therate the
railroads had in effect four years ago.
This is a reduction Of about 20 per
cent. below rates now in effect from
western Kansas. A coal rate is fixed
in the bill, but Mr.. Brown says he can
not estimate how it viii affect existing
rates as the railroads have no uniform
coal schedule. Mr.. Try, member Of
the committee, says the bill would cut
coal rates so per cent.

STORY oE an ARTIST.
Alfred Brennan Married Lucy Lee In Most
Peculiar Way,

aired Brennan Married Lucy Lee In Most
Peculiar Way,
Alfred Brennan, the illustrator and
painter, has a pretty custom. He not
only uses his beautiful wife as a model
in much OF his work, but he makes it
an invariable rule that once a year.,
since their marriage, he shall make a
sketch, or finished painting of her.
These pictures, some dozen in num-
Der, are varied in treatment and most
original, all representing the subject
in some peculiarly attractive pose.
MIR, Brennan's marriage was highly
romantic and odd. He had always, al
though of the auburn-haired style Of
blonde himself, had an extravagant
foundness for that shade of hair which
Titan loved to paint
A friend, to whom he once spoke of
this fancy, said that he knew of a
woman Of exactly that style, and would
introduce Brennan if he chose. He did
choose, and they went that evening tc
call upon the lady, who was a sister Of
Margaret Lee, the novelist. Wher
they left the house Mr.. Brennan re
marked to the mutual friend; Il shall
marry Lucy Lee"
In amonth's time they were engaged
and in six weeks the acquaintance 0.

rusty black, a border surrounded the
