fhe tendency of young men born

unhealthy movement in a large sense
and Improbable to many of those who

followed, there is no safer business
than farming. nor any more certain to
yield satisfactory results. In very
many instances they who abandon 1t

Some men have a most distressing
habit OF carrying their business home
with them in the evening and lying
awake at night to think about 1t. This
is bad habit which anyone with any
sort of control over himself can break
up. The conclusion of the whole mat
ter is that man walketh in vain sha-

and the most unhappy man is the one

Horace remained a bachelor: people
called him a woman hater. but knew

who had tenderer. truer regard for

sad romance in his life. but on that
subject and that only was he reticent
with me.
Horace was often our guest. and
when he came We strolled off together

this monopoly of my time.
On the occasion Of one of his visits
Horace again alluded to his old theories
about the powers OF the soul. and stat

for closely observing the dying: that
he had seen them grow calm and re-
main apparently obliyious to every
thing around them for a long time.

aminer for pensions and for positions
In the Boston police and fire depart
ments was called upon to examine an
applicant for appointment to the police
force. The applicant testified that he
was able-bodied in every respect and
had never had sick day in his life.
Subsequently the same man appeared
before the board of medical examiners
for pensions as an applicant for an in
crease of his pension, and he testified
that he was physical wreck and in
capacitated for work on account Of his
physical infirmities resulting from his
services in the war.

The recent attack of the commission.
er of pensions on the pension attorney,
followed up by some efforts to bring
the worst specimens to account, Is a
circumstance that is notable enough to
deserve attention. The pension abuse.
however. is not to be abated by attack
ing the pension attorneys. No doubt
many Of them are much to blame, and
when they have committed frauds they
should be held to severe accountable
ty. But. after all. it is just as well to
recognize the fact that congress has
often been the chief offender.

IN POTTER'S FIELR
Burial of Unknown Man Found Float
ing in the River

The body of the man found in the river
near the foot of 32d street yesterday morn
Ing was buried in potter's field late in the
afternoon There WAS no Identification of
The remains, and the police have not yet
concluded their investigation. AS stated in
yesterdays Star, Deputy Coroner Glaze
brook failed to find any marks of violence
on the body. A certificate of accidental
drowning was given. The color of the de-
ceased was not given in the death certif-
cate as DR.. GlaZebrook was not exactly
certain, after making the examination,
whether the man was white or not.
As stated IN The Star yesterday, a razor
and Whetstone We're found in the man,
pockets, besides several dining room checks,
bearing the name Of Joseph Gatto who
keeps a hotel at Stn and d streets. These
checks. it was Thought, might lead to the
Identification of the body, but Mr.. Cato.
when seen by Star reporter, said he did
not remember that any OF his help had
worl clothing such as that found on the
Eody of the icater. He remembered, how
ever, that a colored nan had worked for
him about six weeks ago colored man
named Charles Green was his waiter at
that time, and one day when Green re-
manned away from work he sent q strange
colored man in his place. During the day
the new waiter imbibed quite freely, and
when he had made several mistakes in the
checks Mr.. Cato sent him away. 1t is be-
!ieved this man, whose name Mr. Cato
dos not know. may have taken some of the
checks away from the hotel Green did not
return to the hotel, and his father said this
morning that he did not know just where
he was working, although he saw him yes
terday.
The police think the body found is hardly
that of the colorad man. The hair taken
from the corpse indicates that it was
straight and was not black, and this does
not correspond with the colored walters
hair.
