Pension Agencies Not Reduced.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The order of
President Cleveland, issued last February,
reducing the number of pension agencies in
the United States from eighteen to nine,
will be revoked by President Mckinley
within a few days, probably early next
week. AS the original order was not to go
into effect until Sept. l next, the only result
of the revocation will be to continue in
force the present arrangement allowing all
eighteen of the agencies to remain in OPP
Grafton. Secretary of the Interior Bliss is
now out of town, but he has conferred with
the President over the matter, as also has
Commissioner of Pensions Evans and it
was some time ago decided that it would
be unwise to permit the change of system
TO go into effect, and that for the present,
however much some new scheme might be
necessitated in the near future, the plan
for the best interests of the service was to
continue the existing system. The pro-
posed consolidation was to be effected by
corn IN HI and Augusta (Ale.), and the
payments hitherto made there were to be
made hereafter at Boston, Mass; the pen
sions heretofore paid at Buffalo were to be
paid from New York city, those at Pitts
burg from the Philadelphia agency, those
at Louisville and Knoxville from Washing
ton those at Detroit from indianapolis,
those at Milwaukee from Chicago those at
Des Moines and Topeka from ST. Louis.
Thus the agencies at Buffalo Detroit, Mil
Waukee and Topeka were TO be discon-
tinued and a new agency created at st.

BARBER TRIES SUICIDE
Barnard Warmer, Of Green
vile, Takes Poison to Es-
cape His Wife.

Because he had q few words with his
wife. over some trile. Barnard Warmer,
age 20, of No. 26e Terhune avenue Green
vile. tried TO commit suicide by taking
poison. Where he got the poison h
what was the nature of it he does not
know. but anyhow he was found yester-
day afternoon about. four O'Clock by
Bicycle Policeman Peter vreeland of the
Greenville station. lying in a vacant lot
at the foot of Gator. near West Sids
avenue, where he probably wandered to
die after taking the poison. He was con-
scious, but seemed utterly helpless =
could not rise. Vreeiand assisted MIN 10
his feet after a good deal of trouble. HOW
long Warmer had been lying there is not
known. His clothes were soaked by the
rain in which he had been lying. warm
ner was dressed in a light suit and. brown
fedora hat and tan shoes. He is about
five feet two inches in height, and has
very light mustache. When Vreeland
questioned him as TO how long he had
been lying their he said he did not
know.
When asked what was the matter with
him he said he had taken poison because
his wife had been unfaithful to him n
that ne wanted TO end his life, not caring
to live with that u~nfaithful woman any
longer. Further h that he would say
nothing. vreeland run 70 rthe patrol
wagon, which came about five minute
later and took Warmer TO the City
Hospital. The doctors there got TO work
on him with a stomach pump, and after
laboring over him for over an hour
pronounced him out of danger. In his
pockets were a little change and a lie
insurance policy, taken out in the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company Of NeY
York. It was made in favor OF hlmseH
and for $l60.
The Warmers lived in a pretty little
two-story house and have one child, a
little girl. Warmer until about W
years ago kept a barber shop on Green
witch street, New York, where he did a
good business until several other shops
were opened in the neighborhood n
prices were cut. These causes combined
to make him fail with two or three
others. He then came to Greenville n
through the influence of several of his
friend secured a good position in the
employ of Edward Simon, a barber on
Danforth avenue, near Ocean. The Warm
ners lived happily until quite recently.
when the ~neighbors say that Warmer
and his wife quarreled almost every day,
and it was only the child that kept them
together. What made Warmer take the
poison nobody seems TO know, and neither
he nor his wife will say anything IN re-
guards TO it.

Here is jules Lemaitre's latest explana-
ton of the doctrine Of Henriek Ibsen:-
What Ibsen breaches is love Of ruth and
hatred Of falsehool, the right Of indi-
viduai conscience as opposed to written
laws, and O great human morality as dis
tinguished from the pharisaism Of the
middle classes. It Is redemption and puri-
fcation by mean of suffering; it is, in
our relations with n another an in
dependent mercifulness and pardon for
certain faults that pharisaism does not
forgive: it is in marriage a perfect union
Of souls--a union which can only rest on
the absolute sincerity of both man and
wife, and on the complete confidence thai
they have ia each other; It is, in short,
the conformity OF life to the ideal, an
ideal largely composed Of religious truth.
which religious truth is at the same time
somewhat proud and logical and in per
petual revolt against the hyreeriSieS Of
human society.
