600, 100000 For the last fiscal year
ending tie 30sb of June, 1897, 4 the
pensions cost $141. .o53.1 .164. You see
how as we have receded from the war
snd the number Of northern soldiers
has decreased by death, the pension
cost has been increased. There were
probably 100000 less actual federal
soldiers living in 1897 than there were
in 1879, and get the pensions for that
gear we're four times greater than in
1879. A shame and an outrage
There are 100000 applicants pow
seeking to help rob the people. Since
Mckinley took his seat nearly 10000
suckers have been added And this
must consiuue-shese outrages must
grow, in so far as republicans are
concerned. The present republican
congress will be sure to keep up ex-
penditures If net to increase them. Tbs
great question for taxpayers is honest,
economical government of all kinds
and large reduction Of public expend-
isures.
Then there is another class Of suck
ers who have no honest right to the
teat. L is those who really pever
rendered military service snd who
never. therefore, received disabilities
in war. There are, says The Times.
scores Of thonsands"-many twenty
thousapds-who are of this class of
pensioners, and whose services were
nominal. What record of robbing
and imposture /!
While there is not any deep-seated
prejudice in the south generally
against pensioniog the proper class OF
northern soldiers who are disabled aud
poor, there is bitter contempt and
dislike for the rogues AID rascais, the
frauds and imposters, who are swell
ing By the scores Of thousands, the
pension tax. No honest sonthron likes
to be taxed TO help to provide pen
sion for fellow Who never .'sau

real military service. Who is not neees-

AN OLD WEDDING RING.

What a symbol OF love is that circle Of
gold,
by the token Of which our devotion was
told!
How our youthful affection shines out. as
1t seems.
In the light Of the romance around It that
CLEANS:
And 1t knows no beginning or ending, or
It's continuing course should not run till
we die.
And a sign and a seal Of our reverence. too.
Had part In our creed, when that old
ring was new,
When slender. light hand was appraised
to our lips
And our kisses were pressed on its slim
finger tips.
For that circle Of gold seemed a hallow-
Ing pledge
or homage profounder than words dare
allege.
But the metal that's purest wears quickest
away,
And that old wedding ring has grown
thinner to-day;
Yet the hand which 1t graced graces it in
its turn
With magic the alchemist vainly would
learn.
For sweet charity's touch has so filled it
with gold
That thathan never lacked to the hungry
and cold
And the summers may come, and the sum-
mers may go,
And the winters may whiten the hair with
their snow;
Still the hand which a lover delighted to
kiss
Wears the signet of half a century's
bliss,
And no earnest of joy in the Heavens above
Is more sure than that ring and its cycle
of love.

Hymns and Boiled Eggs.

Bishop Paret, of this city, some time
ago was the guest of an Episcopal fam.
lily in West Virginia. Learning from the
bishop that he liked hard-boiled eggs
for breakfast, his hostess went to the
kitchen to boil them herself. While
so engaged she began to sing the first
stanza of the hymn Crock of Ages
Then she sang the second stanza, the
bishop, who was in the dining-room
joining in. When it was finished, there
was silence, and the bishop remarked
'Why not sing the third verse?"
''The third verse;" replied the ladv
as she came into the dining-room, carry
ing the steaming eggs. ooh, that's not
necessary"
Il don't understand" replied Bishor
Paret.
"Oh. you see," she said, "when I am
cooking eggs, I always sing one verse
for soft-boiled and two for hard-boiled. y

A man entering State street book
store, made several small purchases,
threw down dollar bill to pay for them,
and as soon as his package was handed
to him turned to go out. The clerk
called after him, says the Chicago
Times-Herald
Hi, there! Don't you want your
changer" and he handed the customer
the best part of his dollar.
'That happens every day." said the
clerk, "and we give quite an amount
at the end of the year to charitable or
CARNATIONS from the fund created by
change that has not been called for.
1t seems as if customers have only
one idea, and that is to get their goods
and go away"
do they ever come back for the
changer"
very rarely, and then it is always
for change that was left somewhere
else. I often wonder how such people
get through the world. And another
funny thing is, the customer never
seems to expect the change when we
offer it to them, that is after he has
forgotten it. You saw how that man
looked when we called him back
just as if ! was making him responsible
for some other mans mistake. It takes

IN no good humor when I approached

s-e-;.l-tc 30 new Chinese treaty
makes no specific provision for estab-
fishing the status of Chinese woman
who may desire to leave this country
with intention to return, says the Phil
adelphia Record, Mrs. Toy zee, the
wife of Lee Hoe, wealthy Race street
merchant, has applied to Collector
Read for permission to accompany her
husband to China in TIE capacity of a
servant.
Some weeks ago Lee Hoe sold out his
business to Lee Chow, and determined
to make visit with his wife to their
old home, near Hong Kong. Lee Hoe
has been registered with Internal Rev
enue Collector Doyle, and his creden-
tials as merchant, with some thou
sands of dollars to his credit, were all
right. 1t was the intention of Lee Hoe
and his wife to remain in China not
longer than year, and when they filed
their applications for privilege to re-
turn with Collector Read, and gave him
thcir photographs, they were surprised
20 find that there was barrier against
Mrs. Toy zee. The law was plain
enough SO far as Lee Hoe was con-
cerned, but nothing was said about the
wives of Chinese merchants. The law
did say that the servants of merchants
might enjoy the same rights as their
masters, so Mrs. Toy zee bought new
hat, arranged herself in true American
fashion before photographers camera,
and soon brought her picture to the
collectors Office, where it was fled
with her husbands photograph, and
the whole matter given to the special
treasury agents for Investigations.
The treasury agents have reported
favorably and Mrs. Toy zee will leave
for Hong Kong via Richfeld. VT, in
few days. The government takes a

MARCH TO ALTER E. ". i
Wedding of ]. F. Hamburg
and Miss Sloggett.
A Pretty Affair at ST. Andrews
ton With Many Guests.

The chanceI of St. Andrews Epis-
copal Cathedral was quite deliberately
decorated yesterday evening. the occa-
| sion being the marriage OF two well
known Honolulu society people, John
r Hamburg and Miss Myra SIoggett.
| The groom holds a very prominent
| position in the house of H. Hackfeld
& Co. while the bride is the beautiful
daughter of DR.. II. c. SIoggett, Bere-
tania street. She has been a society
belle ever since her arrival here. The
effect of the decorations was very pref
ty under lamp light, and on either
side of the altar were candelabra with
lighted candles. Potted palms and
ferns, with wreaths of MALE formed
d background over which were white
asters and Gala lilies. The cathedral
was crowded with friends and invited
guests who were shown to their seats
by the ushers, Arthur Wall, Ernest
Ross, Norman Halstead and J. Hugo.
The ceremony was announced for
o'clock, put previous to that hour,
Wray Taylor, the Organist played a
Wedding March by Best and GavOtte
by Resch as a prelude to the arrival
of the bridal party. Principally at the
hour named the bride arrived escort
ed by her father who gave her away.
In the meantime the groom took a
position near the altar where the cere-
mony was performed, attended by his
best man Aug. Hamburg and Digby
Sloggett as grOOmsman. To the strains
of the Lohengren Bridal March, the
bride attended by her maid of honor,
Miss Allie Wall, and Miss Lucy Ward
bridesmaid, advanced to the altar. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev. |
Alex. Macintosh in a very impressive |
manner while the organ played ''The |
Evening Star" from Tannhauser. After |
the ceremony the newly married couple
retired to the vestry to sign the re-
CUSTER, and directly afterwards left the |
Cathedral to the strains of Mendels- |
sohn's Wedding March. A reception |
was held later at the residence of DR.. |
and Mrs. Sloggett which was attended |
by the immediate friends of the con- |
tracing parties. Some very hand |
some and costly presents were received |
by the happy couple. Mr.. and Mrs. |
Hamburg will leave for their bridal |
trip on the Canadian steamer due from
the Colonies today and will be absent |
on British Columbia two months or |
more
