FlREMEN'S PENSION FUND.
Board of Trade FavorS Putting 1t on a
Permanent Basis.

The governors of the Board Of Trade took
steps last night, as they expected, to put
the firemen's pension fund in permanent
shape. While the matter of making con-
tribution of $50 to the fund was under dis
cussion, the suggestion was made by G. V.
Woolen that it would be much better if
the board were to take up this subject Sc
riously and appoint a committee to raise
a fund of $4,000 or so. which should serve
as a permanent fund and do away with the
rather humiliating necessity on the part of
the firemen of asking contributions every
year. d. p. Erwin and A. A. Young took up
the suggestion, and elaborated upon it and
the result was the adoption of a motion by
Mr. WooIlen, authorizing the president to
appoint a committee to investigate the sub
ject and take charge of the effort to raise
the fund and to ask legt@lation in further
anceeOf the plan. The tenor of the speeches
was to the effect that this was not in any
sense an act of charity but matter of JUS
tice and sound busi,less judgment. The
that there is no prov ision now for rails
Ing this fund A tax is levied by the city
for the purpose.
AT the urgent insstencC of President
Kinney the governors authorized the APP
pointment of a committee of ten to push
the agitation against the waste of natural
gas. The board received communication
from s. b. Archer, secretary of the Tariff
Commission League asking it to pass reSo-
lutions favoring the appointment of a nom
partisan tariff commission to take the
tariff out of politics." Action was postponed
preston that the tariff is already out of
politics for a few years at least.

The second evening service of the mission
inaugurated at st. Josephs Church on Sun
day morning by Rev. Fathers Boarman and
Mageheney was we'll attended last evening.
At the conclusion of the recitation of the
rosary Father Boarman preached an elo-
quent sermon, his text being from jeremiah
ii, 2-"Know thou and see that it is an evil
and a bitter thing for thee 70 have left
the Lord thy God. The infinite difference
between the sinner and his God, the neces-
sity of repentance and reform to abridge
again this measureless distance, were fore
IDLY presented. At the conclusion Father
night would be on the confession of sin.
present in order that they might know what
the church teaches on this doctrine. Said
he ut is my purpose to show by the au-
thority OF the sacred Scriptures and the
testimony of the early fathers of the
church, who were witnesses of the doc
trine and practice of their time, that con-
fesSion is a divine ordinance. Scriptural
quotations will be taken from a copy of
King James's edition of the Protestant BIZ
Bile, and / will endeavor to answer the cur
rent objections to the confessional" A mis-
sion in a Catholic church is much similar
to a Protestant revival effort being made
by exhortation and advice to bring the
backsliding again into the fold. Daily serv-
ices are being held at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing the evening service at $780, which con-
cludes with the benediction. The mission
will close on next Sunday evening.

HEIKES NOW CHAMPION
DEFEATED GRIMM IN THE RACE
FOR THE CAST-IRON MEDAL.
Highest Honor a Live-Bird shooter
Can Attain-IncideRts of the In
ternationaI Bicycle Contest.

CHICAGO. Dec. 6.-Rolla Heikes, Of
Dayton, o., challenger, defeated Charles
Grimm, of Clear Lake, Ia, to-day for the
cast-iron medal, by a score of 81 to 81. The
race was shot at Watson's Park and at
tracted a notable crowd of local and out
of-town cracks. The referee was John Wat
son and the race took one hour and thirty
two minutes time. The weather conditions
tended to low scores. A strong wind from
the southwest swept the park and blew
cutting snow into the faces of the two ex-
perts The birds were mostly towerers and
left quartering incomers, with a fair pro-
portion of left quarterers. Their flights
were erratic. While both experts showed
clever kills which drew applause, Heikes's
work was the cleaner. He seemed to center
better and used the second barrel carefully
for a safety. Grimm, on the other hand
failed to hit cleanly with his first many
times and dropped some difficult birds on
his second in a sensational manner. OF the
nine birds lost by Heikes, four fell dead
out of bounds. The feature of the day was
a straight kill of thirtyfour birds by
Heil1es in running out Summary of birds:
Heikes-Left quarterers, u; incomers, 49,;
drivers, q; right quarterers, IS; towerers, 2.
Grimm-Left Quarterers, 81; incomers,

OPENING OFF THE HOUSE.
Close Attention Given to Presidents
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Little Lamb.

Message-GrOsvenOr's Little Lamb.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The opening day
of the regular session in the House passed
without unusual incident Of any character.
The formalities attending the Inauguration
of the session are dry, and except as a
spectacle hardly repaid the crowds which
thronged the public and private galleries.
Yet with few exceptions the visitors sat
through the whole proceedings. Mr.. Ding
ley the floor leader of the majority Mr..
Bailey, the recognized leader Of the mi
nority, and Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, enjoyed
the distinguished honor of being appointed
to wait on the President, whose message
was. of course, the event of the day. Its
reading was long and tedious, but it was
followed with close attention by the mem
bers and the spectators in the galleries.
There was no demonstration until the read
ing was concluded, when the Republicans
joined in hearty expression of approval.
The floral tributes for the members were
numerous. and in some instances imposing.
One which attracted probably more atten-
ton than any other on account of its
unique character graced the desk of Gen.
Grosvenor, of Ohio. 1t consisted Of a huge
tree of yellow chrysanthemums and Amer
lean Beauty roses, under the noddng
branches of which stood an innocent look
ing toy lamb. 1t was tribute from the
National Wool Growers Association. Some
one discovered that under the administra-
ton Of pressure to a portion of the lambs
anatomy it would give forth sound re-
sembling a bleat, and much amusement and
merriment followed this disclosure. The
representation of a huge gavel, in red and
white carnations, stood upon the speakers
desk
AS the hands of the clock pointed to u
Speaker Reed, attired in a black cutaway
coat and wearing red tie, pushed through
the green baize doors from the Hobbies and
assembled the rostrum. One crack of the
gavel suhdued the din on the floor and the
conversation in the overhanging galleries.
The gavel with which the speaker called
the House to order was presented to him
by J. c. Groner. sheriff of Knox county,
Tennessee. who sent ii in the name of THE
Stalwart Republicans of East Tennessee"
1t was formally presented TO the speaker
through II. Clay Evans. the commissioner
of pensions. The gavel Is made of apple
tree wood which grew beside the log house
in which Farragut was born. This house
stood at loves ferry. on the Tennessee
river, six miles below Knoxville
In the deep silence which followed the
calling of the assemblage to order, the
prayer of the eminent English divine, Rev.
Charles A. Berry, of Wolverhampton, Eng
land, who delivered the invocation, was
solemn and impressive The speaker then
Immediately directed the clerk to call the
ROLL and this consumed an half hour. In

BLANTON MILLING co.

Dana shared Grants mess and often his
tent. The federal army was about to be
transported across the Mississippi from a
point below Vicksburg, known as Hard
Times on the Louisiana line, to attack
Grand Gulf, on the opposite side of the
river. Mr.. Dana relates the following Incl
dent of Grant:
Late in the evening of April 20 I left
Hard Times to ride across the peninsula to
De Shroons plantation, where 1t was pro-
posed to embark the troops. The night was
pitch dark, and, as we rode side by side.
General Grants horse gave a nasty tumble.
I expected to see the general go over the
animals head, and / watched intently, not
to see If he was hurt, but If he would show
any anger. l had been with Grant daily
now for three weeks, and / had never seen
him ruffied, nor heard him swear. His
equanimity was becoming a curious specta-
Gle to me- When l saw his horse lunge my
thought was. Now he will swear For an
instant his moral status was on trial; for
Grant was tenacious horseman, and i'm
stead of going over the animals head as
/ imagined he would, he kept his seat. Pull
ing up his horse he rode on, and to my
utter amazement, without word or sign OF
Impotence. And it is fact that though
was with Grant during the most trying
campaigns of the war, / never heard him
use an OATH"

Bring $13,323 Premium.

The County Commissioners yesterday
sold 900 of Marion county refunding
bonds to Mason, Lewis & Co., Chicago
bankers. at per cent. and $1S, 1923 premium.
The bonds run thirty years. The necessity
for issuing these bonds dates back to the
building of the Marion county courthouse.
When the building neared completion the
commissioners found the county treasury
almost depleted. 1t was necessary to raise
money for the running expenses of the
county, and 100000 of bonds were issued
for thirty years. These bonds fall due Jan.
/. The commissioners could not see their
way clear to pay them off and decided on
another issue. There were thirteen bidders
for the bonds sold yesterday. The Illinois
Trust and Savings Bank was next to the
best bid. This firm offered to take the bonds
at per cent. and pay a premium of $l3, $50.
The Bid of Campbell, Wild & Co., of this
city, was 1878 lower than the best bid 1t is
claimed the price paid for these bonds is
the highest ever offered for county bonds
west of New York city.

ing and general liveliness in this sketch,
which concludes with burlesque football
match. Medah Hyer opens the olio part
with operate selections, and she also sings
"Suwanee River" The musical turn of the
Mallory brothers, aided by Maize Brooks on
the harp, is one of the neatest of its kind
yet seen here. Smart and Williams sang
their own song, II Guess that will Hold You
for Awhile" much better than it has ever
been heard here. A very prettily arranged
dance, on the Spanish order, by dozen or
more young women, Kitty Carriers terpsi-
chorean exercises and a bright sketch by
Mr.. and Mrs Tom Mcintosh complete the
olio. The Mcintosh sketch was received
with great applause. The programme con-
eludes with what is known as Thirty Min
utes Around the Operas" in which the en-
tire company takes part The singing is ad-
mirable. especially that of Nine. Flower
and Fred j. Piper. whose tower scene

tiers. The engagement closes tomorrow
