HOW HE SAVED THE BANK.

The Minister Found Out the Best Man
Was None Too Good.
From the Detroit Free Press.
There's a man that saved one of the big
gest banks in an eastern CITY," said a De-
troiter to his friend as they passed a min
lister on the street.
''That should have brought him a hand
some reward
ct believe they thanked him for It. He
oficiated at the marriage Of couple, both
wealthy and belonging to the upper crust.
There were several rehearsals at which he
was present. For these the sexton lighted
and heated the church and the organist sup
piled the best music. Naturally the rector.
as we'll as the other two. expected a rather
handsome remembrance from the rich
bridegroom. -.
after the elaborate ceremony was
through with and the happy pair had
started on their wedding trip the best man
called on the rector. the organist and the
sexton. giving each q very stingy evidence
Of the fact that their services had not been
forgotten. The latter two did not hesitate
to express their contempt openly and the
minister showed his in nice way by turn
ing over to them what he had received.
+ Shortly afterward, while giving the
church a thorough cleaning the sexton
found the fragments Of a note and gave
them to the pastor. Putting the pieces to-
gether, he had a letter from the BRIDE
groom to the best man. instructing him
what to give each Of the three persons
mentioned. and the respective sums were
really most liberal.
More for the others than himself the
rector wrote the best man. who was CASH
Ter of leading bank. He promptly set
tied and was very anxious to have the
matter kept quiet. But the man who
would embezzle from his best friend was
not to be trusted and the directors were
told the story. They were being systemat-
ically robbed. and the expose came none
too soon."

CHIEFS MUST SET THE EXAMPLE.
Commissioner Evnnx Wants Them to

Commissioner EvnnH Wants Them to
Stay Out of SALOONS After Dark. -.
Commissioner of !: Pensions Evans has
adopted novel course in order to carry
end his Wishes. Shortly after taking g Harge
of tie bureau OF pensions he outlined bhis,
policy regarding his requirements of clerks.
One of these requirements was that lelerks
should not spend their evenings in saloons
or places where many people resort in or
der to indulge in liquors until late hours.
because he believed such practices serio is
ly interfered with the efficiency cf the
clerks during Office hours. He look the
ground that temperance and good hours
make valuable clerk for the government
service. ~
Now he has taken another measure in
order to give the clerks an object lesson.
He has required that all chiefs OF divisions
and assistant chiefs who have been PLACED
in positions Of authority by him shall. as a
part Of their duty. refrain from visiting
any saloon or other drinking place after
dark. He has taken the ground that un-
less the chiefs of the divisions of the pen
sion bureau are models In this respect he
cannot expect good results from those who
are employed under them. A charge has
often been circulated about the pension
building that many clerks secure their
promotions by being good fellows" after
sundown In company with their chiefs.
It has been said that the man VINO Is most
genial and who sets them up most reg
ularly is the one who wins his way into
the good graces Of the chief. II the latter
be one who is inclined to be convtv1al at
ter Office hours.
All this Commissioners Evans proposes to
change, and the chiefs Of divisions under
him are expected. II they are not tee
tetalers, to keep cut of drinking places
where the clerks might see them.

The carlists In Spain.
From the Great Round world.

From the Great Round World
From the time of Philip v, in 1713, the
succession to the Spanish throne had been
according to the Sslic law. from father to
son. or to the nearest male relative.
The Salic law Is very old law. which
provides that no woman can inherit lands
OF occupy the throne According to this
law, If a king dies leaving several daugh-
ters, but no son, the throne passes sway
from the daughters, and gees to the near
est male relative, be he nephew, uncle,
OF cousin. In 1890 Ferdinand III Of Spain,
having no sors, rendered the Salic law Of
the right Of succession to the daughters
and granddaughters Of the king. When
Ferdinand died in 1883, his daughter, Isa-
bella Maria II, was declared queen, and
the brother of Ferdinand, who, under tho
old law should have been king. was passed
over. This brother was ramed DON Car
los. Don Carlos refused to recognize his
brothers decree. and declared himself king
of Spain. Many OF the mobiles who did not
like the idea OF being ruled by woman
fiocked to his standard, and war was de-

A Mariae Disaster.

From the Detroit Free Press.
An old salt who ravigates a bicycle when
he Is in port was working q rapid passage
down Cass avenue the other day when he
collided with a woman cycler. After they
had extricated themselves from the wreck
he anticipated her outburst of anger. from
which she could gather little except that
he was sincerely sorry.
I'm sure as ought to be scuttled for 1t,
num-" he said, rapidly. but couldn't get
yer signals no more ss IL we was feelin'
through q fog bank I was blowin' for you
to pass to the port and steerin' my course
accordin'. Just as was goin' to dip my
pennant and salute proper, your craft re-
me for'ard. Afore could reverse. your jib-
boom fouled my starboard mizzen riggin'
your dowin' gown snarled UP with my
bobstay, blew out yer pneumatic, parted
your toppin' lift and carried away my Jack
saddle down haul. AS I listed I tried to
jibe. hut I capsized, keel up, and you floun-
defin' in the wreckage."
By this time there was an interested au-
dience, and the girl was mentally debating
whether she should run from q supposed
lunatic or ask for an Interpreter.
But Jacks headpiece was still In his
hand: he was not through.
I'm hopin' yer not enough damaged for
the hospital" he went on, but I'd be sunk
TIL you righted. This here little craft Of
yours will be AZ seaworthy as ever when
her upper works In Strengthened out, and
we get wind into her sails again. I'll Just
tow her down to the yard fur repAirs."
And she smiled an assent.

C0MmAssfoAeF Evans ON the Proposed
Decrease of Pension Agencies.
President Mckinley has under considera-
tlon and shortly will act upon a report
submitted by Commissioner Of Pensions
Evans on the consolfda ton of pension
agencies ordered by President Cleveland
shortly before the change OF administra-
ton. The report recommends O. complete
revocation Of the order, allowing the agen-
cies to stand In the same position as II the
order had net been made. September l
was fixed as the date for President Cieye-
lands order to take effect, but. while Pres
ident Mckinley has not definitely stated
his intentions. there is no doubt enter
tanned that the order Of revocation will be
promulgated within a few weeks. Com
missioner Evans takes the ground that the
change would involve cost of $2OU.OOO at
the outset, for which there is no approprla-
ttOn on account of establishing the new
records ETC.: that at the least there would
be no saving accomplished except of sala-
rtes OF the agents dropped; that time would
be sacrificed in some cases and expenses
OF clerical force increased; that some of
the agencies are In government buildings
now, and that the item of rent would figure
largely in q change, and that. while some
changes might be made in other ways
later on. the present scheme. which abol-
fshed nine out of the eighteen agencies and
removed both the Topeka and Des Moines
agencies to st. Louis, should be entirely
rescindcd.
Commissioner Evans says that probably
all the pension agencies will be consolda.-
ed into one In this city some time in the
future, but that there is no necessity for
such action at this time. The provision Of
President Cieveland's order replacing the
agencies at Topeka, Kansas, and Des
Motnes. Iowa. with one to be established
at st. Louis. the commissioner says. would
result in 10000 pensioners being paid
from that city without any advantage ever
the present system. Neither of these two
offices now have to pay rental as they Oc-
cupy government buildings, bat In St.
Louis quarters would have to be secured
that probably would require an txpcndi-
ture Of $4,000. the same amount now paid
by the New York agency, which has 1000
pensioners. The agencies at Louisville and
Knoxville were to be consolidated with the
Washington agency. Neither of these has
to pay rental, but with the change rental
of 81 $50 per annum now paid by the Wash
tngton agency would have to be doubled
Knoxville and Louisville! pay about $4,000
pensioners and are allotted $35. 900 clerk
hire, while the Washington agency has
about $1,000 pensioners and the clerk hire
would have to cover a., force similar In
number to that now employed in all three
offices, and the salaries would be much
larger. owing to the material difference in
compensation paid in the two sections.

Ian MaeLaren Likes Americans.
From the Outlook.
Hospitality is also Of the essence Of cour-
tesy and every visitor to the states agrees
with his neighbor-however he may differ
about other things-that the American has
revived the ancient eastern idea and accIt-
matized 1t in the west. After o journey In
the new world one returns home convinced
that We do not know how hospitality spells
in Europe, and smitten to the heart with
repentance. When a stranger comes to us
with a letter we receive him with calm
civility, hope that he has had good pas
sage, inquire what he wishes to see in our
country, map out his route for him. ask
him to q meal. and let him go. with a mod
est disclaimer that he has given us any
trouble. If one Of US goes ov.I to America,
not knowing half q dozen people on the
whole continent, letters of hospitality ar
rive before we start; they are brought on
board your steamer with the pilot. they are
delivered on the landing stage, they are
lying on the table at your rooms. and they
all come to the same thing-that you Will
stay in hotel at your peril, and that you
and your belongings-it is hoped two boys
may be with you, as wen as your wife
must come at once to the writer's house.
If you have an iron will and a profound
conviction that your arrangements prevent
his duties as well as a host-you may deny
yourself the pleasure of private hospitality.
but you will have to fight your way. SO to
say, to the hotel. And II you are a guest
you will be received at the station-we al
low visitors to make their own way to our
houses-and welcomed by the whole family
as If you were of the same blood, or at
least friends of twenty years standing;
and you will be driven over the whole dis
trict or city. and your host will be at your
disposal as If he had nothing to do-yet
judges. university men. merchants and edt-
tors have some engagements-and you will
depart laden with roses and goodwill.
One is not quite sure whether to admire
most Of all the grace or tact or spontaneity
or completeness of hospitality among our
kinsfolk; but that for which one is most
grateful. and which counts dearest, Ia the
genuine kindness. The Americans are q
kind people. and they are not ashamed to
allow 1t to be seen.
What lends a peculiar character to Amer
lean manners fs their genuine and attract
i've simplicity: and the traveller does feel
that his ideal Of democratic citizenship has
been in one particular. at least. realised
In one way 1t strikes the foreigner that
the states lose by not having a lefsured
ruling class, with traditions Of public ser.
vice. of incorruptfble honor. Of trained
craftsmanship. In another way the states
gain by counting all their citizens eligible
for public duty. because the rulers are moi
| a caste, do not give themselves airs, are
affable and accessible.
