GROWERS NEW ORDER.
Cuts the Number of Pension
Agencies i'm Two.

President Cleveland has signed,
on the recommendation of Secretary
OF the Interior Francis, an import
ant order reducing the number of
pension agencies in the United
States from Is to g. The object of
the order is to effect very large
saving to the government without
nconvenicncing the pensioners. The
secretary demonstrates that by this
reduction of the pension agencies
the cost of disbursing pensions can be
reduced by at least $3.50, 900 per
annum.
The change was made possible by
an amendment to the law governing
the disbursing of pensions, which
amendment was approved March %,
1896. 1t required that all pensioners
should, after that date, be paid by
cnecks remittcd by mail Reports
from the pension agencies in reply
to inquiries as to the operation of
the new law were to the effect that
under it the pensioners are paid
much more promptly; that the pos
slUllity OF error is minimiZed, and
that upon the whole it is much more
satisfactory to the pensioners than
the former law.
The agents also advise that the
pensioners receive their pensions
when remitted by mail at their
homes, where, being surrounded by
family influences the pensioner is
much more likely to make Il judicious
of his pension money.
Under the previous law many pen
sioners collected their quarterly pay
ments in person .and, under the in
tlucnce of bad associations, were
often induced to apply those pay
ments unwisely and deprive their
families of the benefits thereof.
This executive order will 90 into
effect Sept. next, its execution hav-
ing been postponed until that date
in order that no pensicner 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.

TO PROTECT THEIR BOYS
Reason a Number OF Democrats VIII
Vote Against Judge Cox.

People living in the neighborhood of State
and Lexington avenues, and especially the
parents of small boys are incensed at Judge
Cox, of the Police Court. They believe that
by his action some Of their boys will be
ruined and they are determined to work and
vote against him in the coming election.
The trouble all grows out of his releasing
"Teddie" Evans, a boy ten years DID, who
has been before him several times, charged
with petty stealing. The last time was only
few days ago, when the boy was arrested
for stealing a lot Of new hardware from
a house being erected by George w. Harris,
at the corner of State avenue and Pleasant
street. The stolen stuff was recovered where
the boy hid it, in his fathers stable, and
was in Police Court as evidence against
him. There were other witnesses, some of
them boys who knew that the Evans boy
had stolen the property. Prosecutor Walker
asked the boy if he had stolen the property,
and the boy admitted it and also admitted
that it was the fourth time he had been in
Police Court for petit larceny. In the face
of this Judge Cox dismissed the case without
hearing other witnesses, and sent the boy
home.
The people living in the neighborhood of
the Evans boy are not hard-hearted enough
! to lack sympathy for the boys parents, but
as a protection to their own children they
claim that Teddie Evans should have been
sent to Plainfield. Walter Shafer is one
of the neighbors and he has two boys. He
claims they are becoming demoralized by
associating with the Evans boy. and other
parents make the same claim. The Shafer
boys were summoned as witnesses against
the Evans boy, and when they were going
out Of the Police Court room one of them
was heard TO remark Il told you so. Judge
Cox won't punish a boy" Mr.. Shafer says
that since then his own boys have been
than hpfOra an6 he believes the effect
of the courts action has been demoralzing
to them, for they firmly believe they can
commit any offense and escape punishment.
Teddie Evans was arrested last spring for
stealing pigeons and with him were several
other boys. AT that time the parents of the
other boys were unanimous in declaring that
Teddie was the cause of it all.
Walter Shafer, Lawrence Meek and other
Democrats have already pledged themselves
to vote against Judge Cox. There are a
dozen or more Democrats in the same pre-
cinct who will do the same 1--WE are good
Democrats" said one of them last night
but we think more of our boys than we
do Of Judge Cox"

some places the officials have found it
necessary to prohibit children under six

order to make room for the large number of
new scholars This increase can be at
tributed TO nothing except the new law, -
says Superintendent Geetlng-
In many cases 1t has been necessary to
clothe scholars before they could enter

seven children whom it was necessary to
clothe and provide with books.
Section II of the law provides that if the

A CROWN HILL ADDITION.
The Cemetery Association Purchases
a Tract of Seventy-One Acres.

The Crown Hill Cemetery Association
yesterday purchased the tract of seventy
one acres known as the Foley farm, lying
just north of the cemetery and running
from the tract of eighty acres already
owned outside the cemetery proper to the
Michigan road. The purchase price was
$500 an acre, the total being $2l,SOO. These
two outlying tracts will be improved, and
may in time be thrown open to the public
as park. The land is partly wooded, and
other trees will be planted

land IS required for use of the ceme-
terry. The original tract contains 450 acres,
and there is in il ample room to accommo-
date the growth of the city for decades to
come The new purchase gives the asso-
citation six hundred acres of ground, more
than is owned by any cemetery in the coun-
try, so far as is known.
