WHAT 10 THE EXCUSED

These arc the facts. One of the questions fro
qucntly asked by the reporter was what 10 the
excuse for themf No reasonable excuse was
volunteered by any ono. Soma did say Congress-
has been liberal about pensions because the
money all goes right to tho people. 1t 10 paid
here and spent here. and It gets into circulation
again. but some Of It doesn't. Forinstance, $3O1,-
5oT OF It went to Canada last year to reward
1881 Canadians. $4,000 of IL went to Eng
land to support 800 Establishment, 500, 900 of
II went to Germany TO support 62l Cor
mans, 10000 of 1t went to ireland to
support 403 Irishmen. France got her bit,
Sweden got her bit. Scotland got her bit.
and Turkey and China and Japan. and 90 in
every country on tho face of tho globe somebody
got something. Somebody was supported on
the bounty Of the United Statea. The United
Kingdom and her dependencies alone got about
$43o.0o0, But admitting that all but 1900. 900
or 100 OF tho money that 10 paid out in
pensions IS spent again in this country and gets
into circulation. tho question Is suggested: Is
that a good reason why 1t should be taken out
OF circulation In the first place. except In amount
suficient to pay those honestly entitled to tho

OF course. thousands Of these mon are not on
the pension rolls. But for every one that Is not
there there is a cheat. The next table shows
the number of survivors who are engaged in do
nestle and personal service. In It will DO no
ticed the item " hotel keepers, restaurant keep
ers, and saloon keepers" 1t Ia certainly a fair
presumption that these three classes are mon
with money who do not need pensions.

The Tall HIT.

From the Chicago Record
The crusade against the tall hat which
was begun in England a year or more ago
by Lord Ronald Cover, is ended and the
"stovepipe' still holds the field, Lord
Ronald having been routed, horse, foot and
dragons. The crusaders made their final
effort when they appealed to the Prince
of Wales. Knowing that his highness
word was law in the world of fashion,
they asked him to signalize his mothers
diamond jubilee by giving his influence to
the movement for the abolition of the tall
hat. But the prince took sides with the
much abused hat and put an end to the
crusade by most decisive action. Whereas
in past years the prince has been in the
habit of appearing at the Goodwood races
In soft felt hat or in derby, this year
he not only himself wore a stoyepipe hat
and black frock coat, but actually went SO
far as to send notes to the admiral and
general in command at Portsmouth, ask
ing them to give orders that all the officers
races should be thus ''coiffed." He like
wise, before leaving London, caused his
equerry-in-waiting to send an intimation
to the Turf. the Marlborough Boobies and
the Guards clubs requesting that any mem
bers OF these institutions going to the races
should wear high hats. The royal COM
mands were obeyed universally, although
very irksome. as the weather was extreme
ly hot ard dusty and only two or three
very bold spirits Fentured to appear in
straw and white felt hats, being frowned
upon by the prince for their non-compli-
ance with his injunptiona

ment of his meals. Nothing tastes good
or looks appetizing. He grumbles at his
wife, or the cook, or the landlord, or the
landlady, or the waiter, as the case may
be. People say that he has 81 finicky
appetite and let it go at that. The fact
is that the man is In precarlous con-
dition and, if he continues to neglect his
health, is candidate for consumption or
some equally terrible malady.
If man doesn't wish to "dine with
death for a waiter" he should take the
right remedy for little ills" as they
arise, and thus ward off the big ones"
When mans appetite is " finicky,"
when his liver is torpid, when he feels
headachey," dull, istless and generally
out of sorts, he should take DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It makes the
appetite keen, the liver active, the blood
pure, the brain clear and the whole body
alert and energetic. If the bowels are
constipated DR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
will cure that. The "Golden Medical
Discovery" cures 90 per cent. of all cases
of consumption, weak lungs, catarrhal,
bronchial and throat troubles.
TWENTY-FIVE years ago eight different doctors
told me that I would live but a short time-that
had consumption and must die" writes Geo. X.
Coope Esq, of Myers Valley, Pottawatomie Co,
Kans. ~ finally commenced taking DIR. PIerce's

ACCUSED BY A CORPSE.
Austrian NObleman Killed n Deserter
to Gain His Superior'a Praise.


From the New York Journal.
The old adage that murder will out has
once more proved to be true, this time in
Galicia. From there comes remarkable
story of how science proved an Austrian
officer to have been guilty of numbering a
private of his regiment. The private de-
:erted with the intention of coming to this
country He was captured by the search
ing party, but managed to escape.
Three days later the officer, who is said
TO be a nobieman of high standing and
whose name has been kept secret by the
Austrian government, reported that he had
shot ard killed the deserter. He asserted
that be had been out hunting when he
came across the fugitive.
Halt. in the name of the emperor" he
declsres he cried Then according to the
story told by the officer, the man ran away.
and On being warned twice more the officer
fired and killed him.
/ The following day the officer was called
before his regiment and COMMUNICATED on
his bravery, for the fugitive was known to
be desperate character. Visions of a
medal flashed across the officers mind and
everything seemed smooth sailing until a
physician reported the result of the au-
topsy.
The doctor found that the bullet which
had killed the man had taken most re-
markable course. 1t had entered the head
at the point where the hair begins, near
the left temple. 1t then plowed its way
downward and emerged beneath the right
clavicle. This exploded the officers story
that he had shot the man from behind, for
the position of the body while running
would make it an impossiblity for the bull
let to have taken the course described.
The doctor declared that from the wound
it was evident that the man had been lying
fat on his back when the shot was fired.
and that in all probability his hands had
been folded beneath the nape of his neck.
From this the authorities made the deduc-
ton that the deserter had been sleeping
when attacked by the officer. whose desire
for glory was stronger than his humanity.
The officer was arrested and the corpse
of the private became his accuser, silent,
but backed by the authority of science.
A court-martial was held, but the officer
stuck to his original story. When faced by
the scientists and their evidence he broke
down and confessed that he had shot the
man while he was asleep. He was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment.
