Pension Bulletin.

at the request of the Bureau of Pensions,
we publish the following notice to officials
who execute pension vouchers
Recent investigation had by this Bureau
to ascertain the methods employed by
public officials in executing pension
vouchers, has demonstrated an almost total
disregard of the laws and regulations
governing the subject
1t is clearly evidenced that the illegal,
lax, Indifferent and perfunctory procedure
now extant has become menace to the
proper and safe conduct of the affairs OF
this Bureau, so far as it relates to the pay
ment of pensions, and special efforts are
contemplated to correct the existing abuses.
While it is believed that many officials
who assist in the execution of pension
vouchers have no conception of their
criminal liability in the premises, it is
equally certain that many Others to secure
an advantage in the numerical number OF
their clientage, knowingly and wilfully
resort to violations OF the law.
To the end that the former class may
profit by this notice, this circular is issued.
There can be no justification in the
prevalent haste and laxity existing liz
many offices, by which post-dating, false
certifi cation, false claim and stock" wit
nesses have become factor in the admin
istration and acknowledgment of pension
vouchers.
1t is the intention of this Bureau, where
the facts warrant such action, to institute
criminal proceedings against the parties
who indulge in these illegal and irregular
practices and they are warned accordingly.
By followingly strictly the instructions
printed on each voucher, the matters com
planned of may be entirely remedied.
Very respectfully,
III. CLAY EVANS.

WORDS OF GLADSTONE.

You cannot fight against the future.
Men are apt to mistake the strength Of
their feeling for the strength of their argu-
ment.
We cannot change the profound and re-
sistless tendencies of the age toward reli-
gious liberty.
Every real and searching effort at self
improvement is of itself lesson of pro-
found humility.
With the progress of wealth and the
multiplication of natural wants and COM
forts there grows up, as society becomes
older, a new system of social ethics.
Nothing which depresses the moral and
physical condition of the people below the
standards of Christianity, of sufficiency
and of health can in the end be cheap.
If we are just, we shall go forward in
the name of truth and right, bearing this
in mind-that when the case is proved
and the hour is come justice delayed is
Justice denied.
Yes, the disease of an evil conscience is
beyond the practice of all the physicians of
all the countries in the world, 1t is writ
God that sin shall be followed by suffering
1t has been said that the world does not
know it's greatest men. Neither, will
add, is it aware of the power and might
carried by the words and by the acts of
those among its greatest men whom it
does know.
Depend upon it that all false, all sham
work, however it may last for little, the
effect of it is ultimately to destroy reputa-
ton, to take away confidence and to act
most injuriously upon those who have
adopted the trick William e. Gladstone

HEALTH AND HYGIENE.

A quick person always has the muscles
in good trim.
Ready obedience of muscles to will is a
very important thing.
The use of the muscles exerts a notable
influence upon circulation.
No one neglects bodily exercise to any
degree without paving the way for future
trouble.
Insufficient mastication and food that
disagrees and only tickles the palate should
be avoided.
A proper scheme for healthy living
would involve the training of all the mem
bers of the body.
Muscles unused become smaller in size,
dabby and weak. Use hardens, strength
ems and makes them more responsive to
the will.
Exercise does more than strengthen and
harden muscles. A microscopic examina-
ton shows muscles constantly used are the
more healthy.
The value of bodily organ depends
upon it's use The oftener it is disintegrat-
ed by action and rebuilt by the proper
putting together of the food stuffs from
the digestive organs, the more times it is
remade the better it is.
A large trunk, good chest, q generous
framework to hold the heart, lungs and
digestive organs greatly promote longevity
and are usually accompanied by a clear,
rosy skin, plenty of blood in the body and
a good supply of vital force.
Athletes who have contracted heart trou-
BILE either have not taken their training
judiciously or, having developed large
heart, neglect their athletic work and are
then visited with troubles which could
have been avoided by exercise

THE GRAND OLD MAN.

Westminster abbey would lose its repu-
tation if Gladstone S name were not to be
found there among England's glorious
dead. Montgomery Herald.
But it was as statesman that Mr.. Glad
stone filled the worlds eye, and his states
manship has made his name immortal
Rochester Union Advertiser.
Gladstone was great and good man.
He has written his name on the annals OF
time in letters more enduring than brass
and more refulgent than gold. Albany
Times Union.
Gladstone will remain one of the big
figures in the century now SO near its close,
and the next big man of his class must
make his reputation in the century to
come.-Philadelph Times
The account of Gladstone's death which
recorded that his last utterance was a
prayer told only fragmentary truth. His
whole life was a prayer, and all humanity
was his neighbor -Ph Philadelphia Record.
Although not a favorite of the queen,
her official action was more completely
dominated by Gladstone than by any other
premier of her reign. She instinctively
recognized the soundness of his judgment
and his strength with the masses.-Troy

cred, the life of England grand old states.

THE BEEHIVE.

1t is good plan to allow each colony to
cast one swarm
Keeping the comb clear of green cells
will prevent swarming.
If the bees are swarming excessively,
but little honey will be secured.
Excessive swarming is failure in every
way, but limited amount of swarming is
no detriment
The kind of hive is not SO important.
The bees will store honey in anything that
is given them.
A good, fertile queen is capable of pro-
ducing enough bees in a short time to
make an immense colony of bees.
IF you raise comb honey only for your
own use, it will pay to raise it in large
frames, six inches deep and as long as the
hive,
The worker bees may kill off the drones
at any time. This they do by constantly
worrying them, but principally denying
them chyle food. They may also destroy
drone broods.
A good young queen will lay when in
her best condition 1900 eggs daily. These
workers live from one to three months, SO
that in an average hive 80, 600 is nota large
number during the working season. st.

Governor Voorhees, seems to be making
a sectional matter of the appointment of
officers of the volunteer regiments It is
fact that the three regiments now in the
field are commanded and differed by men
from the Northern section of the State A
new regiment is now being formed, and ii
is semi officially announced that Col. Rob't
G. Smith, of the Fourth Regiment is to be
given command of it. To give command
of the new regiment to a North Jerseyman
would. it is claimed, be an injustice to Col.
Cooper of the Sixth Regiment, and reflec-
ton upon South Jerseys patriotism.
The fact of Col Cooper being Democrat
should not, his friends claim, influence
Governor Voorhees, to the extent of de-
priving him of a command to which he has
the strongest claims
Col. Cooper is the Senior Col in the
State. He served throughout the Civil
War, and has been in the National Guard
since 1859. He advanced through the
various grades from private to Col, and
has held the latter position since 1882.
Colonel Smith. who commands the
Fourth Regiment, of Jersey City, did not
Join the National Guard until eight years
after Col. Cooper entered the State
service, and his commission as Col. dates
only from July IA, 1897.
The Inquirer says: Governor VOORHEES,
is likely to stir up hornets nest in South
jersey if he gives the command of the
new volunteer regiment to the Jersey City
Colonel. South Jersey military men claim
that the lower end of the State is being
ignored, and that all the honors and COM
missions are being distributed by Governor
Voorhees, up in his own end of the State.u

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

The quality OF fruit is much improved
by severe trimming.
Value tree or plant not SO much by
what it cost as by what it produces
Soil and location have a decided infu-
ence on variety and quality of fruits.
Long, straight rows in the garden are
easily cultivated and kept free from weeds
Be sure to select varieties that are known
to do well in your own particular locality.
With all kinds of fruit in market the
demand is for quality rather than guam
tity.
BY keeping the soil firm and mellow
you make the plant food available SO it
can be used by the plants.
In transplanting trees, pruning is re-
auired by them to compensate for what
they Jose in moving, but the pruning
should not be too severe.
1t is only in exceptional cases that it is
best to I'll up an old orchard with young
trees. In most cases the soil is more or
less exhausted. Better start new orchard
While thorough cultivation is necessary
in the orchard and small fruit plot, there
is no advantage in cultivating deep; culti-
waite shallow, but thorough. Exchange.

The Newark NeUs, calling attention to
the fact that two laws enacted at the last
session of the Legislature, and signed by
the Governor have been withdrawn from
the Secretary of States Office and others
substituted which contain the amendments
alleged to have been mistake emily omitted
in the former ones, pertinently says:
No allegations have been made of i'm
proper motives or sinister reasons for the
unusual course taken except to correct ad-
mitted errors, but it is clear that if it be
conceded that the Governor has the right
to withdraw from the Secretary of States
Office bills that have become laws through
the Observance of every formality prescrib-
ed by the statutes and the rules of the
Legislature and can then, with the con-
niyance of legislative officials, prepare and
substitute Others, an easy way is provided
for juggling the statutes, overriding the
Legislature and snbvertiDg the popular
will. Ostensible errors for pretexts would
never be found wanting with Governor
controlled by corrr pit influences II seems
like dangerous precedent to establish.
