On June 80, 1898, the pension rolls
Of the United States contained 9S3, 714
names. Forty three thousand were
dropped during the fiscal year-34, 345
because of death and 8,S41 because OF
remarriage. On the other hand, 4O,99l
new claims were allowed, so that the
number of pensions stood on June 80
last at 991,519. The decrease in ex-
penditure during the year was much
more marked, the total falling from
s144, G51 900 in 1S97-98 to $13S ,253 900 in
1S9S-99. This last is the smallest sum
disbursed since the new conditions
created by the dependent act have had
to be faced, and reasonable assurance
of further natural shrinkage in the
annual expenditures is to be found in
the fact that 100000 less were paid
out last year than three years ago,
when the list of pensioners was fully
21,000 shorter than it is today. How
slight an addition to pension burdens
the war with Spain will make may be
guessed from the statement that, al
though 1896 claims have been filed
for disabilities incurred in that brief
contest, only 295 have so far been
passed on favorably. Altogether, the
outlook for a diminished pension &C.
count has greatly improved.

Three powers stand out pre-eminent-
~ in the world as being strong at the
present time, and as having great pos
sibilities Of development before them
England, with her dominion on the
shores Of every sea; Russia, with her
vast empire in the old world; and
America, with her magnificent union OF
states in the new. Each Of these DOW
ers is aiming at peace, though by diff
ferent methods. Russia proposes a
self-denying ordinance Of disarmament
America proclaims the suflciency OF
arbitration, but neither of these coun-
tries has as yet abandoned the effort
to secure exclusive advantage for in
dustrial and commercial development.
and the possible clash of national in
terests still looms in the future for
each; the thunderclouds have not dis

Of pursuing the same end; II we can
prevent strife from arising, we need
not concern ourselves about methods
for keeping it within bounds or allay-

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR,

Every woman is a good actress till
she goes on the stage.
There is one thing a woman never
can understand, and that is herself.
When the devil had his choice as to
instruments he first picked jealousy.
If they were named anything else a
woman would have just as queer a look
in her face when she talked about her
legs.
If there weren't any bad men to be
horrible examples, probably there
wouldn't be any good women to be
shining examples.
Every racy story a man hears he
acts like it was old to him and every
woman like it was new to her, and
both are making believe.
When man can make a woman be-
lieve that he can't help thrilling at her
voice she feels she has to marry him
SO that she can turn the current on
whenever she feels like it.
The difference between a woman and
a cat is that when you tease the cat
you know she'll scratch you. but when
it's a woman you never know whether
she'll kiss you or tear your eyes out

WON'T MAKE IT PUBLIC.

Know Ills Wonderful Form uia.
Various doctors have endeavored to
have DR.. Leslie u. Kelley make public
the formula for making his wonderful
remedy, but DR.. Kelley has absolutely
declined to do so. Considerable ILL.,
feeling was engendered on the part Of
some doctors, who evidently tried to
get possession of the wonderful old
mans secret for their own benefit. A
few days ago DR.. Kelley was guest
of Manager Franc Il. r. Woodward. at
the Institute in Minneapolis, located at
the corner of Tenth street south and
Park avenue.
after making my discovery, said
DR.. Kelley, II spent eleven years IN
experiment, perfecting the treatment.
I maintain all information in relation
to the making Of the remedy n secret,
because believe that the only protec-
ton for suffering humanity lies in
guarding the formula so that it can be
successfully administered. In the
hands of the ignorant, or the careless,
or the young doctors of an experiment.
nj turn Of mind, it's use would soon be-
come abused and discredited.
IF believed my remedy would DO
usaue Ill all JUS purity, Liuuleu ouAy ~

profession, and administered i'll this

such would be the case is impossible
however Inscriptions persons would
pretend to improve on it and adulteHA
ate it for added pecuniary gain. Thss
would result in repeated failure4
which would finally utterly discredk
it."
DR.. Kelley denounces the frauds
which claim to use his medicines, and
says the Minneapolis Institute is tho
only real Kelley Institute in Minneso-
ia. He is very proud of the Minneapo-
lis Institute, because it does such good
work.
There are many frauds and initial
ors which promise inpossibilitieS.
There is no cure but the Kelley Cure.

reception in Washington, as planned
by the citizens, with the cooperation
of the president and cabinet, will be
two in number~-the presentation of the
sword voted by congress and night
parade. A public reception at the
white house will be followed by dinner
to the admiral by President Mckinley
The sword will be presented by Secre-
tary Long, at the east front of the cap
itol, in the presence of Mr.. Mckinley
and all the members of the cabinet,
late in the afternoon, while the parade,
consisting of organizations Of all kinds,
will be accompanied by an illumination
OF the city on scale of beauty never
before witnessed in Washington.
The different features of the prepara-
lions are in the hands of a central,
body of citizens and eleven commit
tees, embracing in all over a thousand
people. Preparations for the celebra-
ton have been in hand for over a
month,
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad and
other railroads entering Washington
have agreed upon cheap rates for the
celebration, and the committee expects
that there will be an outpouring of pa
triotic citizens almost equal to the in
auguration of president.

rlle Celestial Was Particular and Caused
the Court Lots of Trouble.
The various forms of oath-making,
even in this country, are of consider
able interest. 1t would not, however,
be easy to find an instance in which
anything like SO queer medium of
attestation was employed as gull
lotined black cockatoo. But no less an
extraordinary medium than that was
what the police of country district in
New South Wales had to provide the
other day for a finical Chinaman, who
declined to swear on anything else.
Headless fowls We're brought, but in
vain, and as the matter was impor-
tant, even a black swan, a luxury
surely for a Chinese witness, was sug-
gested, only to be Immediately refused.
After some time had elapsed, and
when the representatives of the law
seemed quite at their wits end, a dead
cockatoo of the required hue was
strangely discovered in hut of one
of the other celestials, who mulcted the
anxious officials in $3.50 for the bird.
Then the solemn and peculiar oath was
duly administered, on which the diff
cult witness with a bland and childlike
expression, declared he knew nothing
about the case and sat down smiling!

'Spectacled' Animals.

Birds are furnished with a peculiar
membrane, which in state of repose
lies in the inner angle of the eye, but
is movable by two distinct muscles,
which draw it over the cornea. It is,
to certain extent,transparent, for, ac-
cording to Cuvier, birds can look
through it, as the eagle does when
looking at the sun. This membrane
forms pair of spectacles, or, at least,
answers the same purpose. This mem
brane is called the third eyelid. One
Of the most comical and grotesque an
imals is the specialized bear Ursus
ornatus), which derives its chief at
traction from the light-colored rings
around its eyes. These-the greater
part Of the face being, like the body,
black-have exactly the appearance Of
a pair Of common goggles" through
which the beast seems to look with an
air Of mingled wisdom and imbecility.
The specialized bear is only found in
the mountainous regions Of Chill.
South America.

4 Story of Ii Hung Chang and Would
Be Prisoners.
OF Ii Hung Chang numberless sto-
ries are tod in Chinese society. Now
and then one reaches this country
through our consuls in China. On one
occasion when the premier was having
bitter fight with some of the more
conservative members of the tsung-li-
yamen he received as present mag
nif1cent cake, which he had reason to
suspect contained poison. He put the
cake aside and set all his powerful
machinery to work to find out. who
was at the bottom of the plot. The
investigation was partly successful, the
crime being traced to three men, of
whom one, at least, was absolutely
guilty. Ii had the trio arrested and
brought to his yamen. When they ar
rived they were ushered into his pres
ence and were received in his courtli-
est manner. The cake was produced,
with the remark that "politeness for
babe his tasting it until the three
generous donors had had an opportun-
ity to enjoy its excellence" Ii cut
the cake and one of his servitors
handed it to the unwilling guests.
Each took a piece and ate, or pre-
tended to eat it. One crumbled the
pieces and let them fall upon the floor,
but the other two ate calmly, without
manifesting any emotion. Ten minu-
utes and the two men began to show
symptoms of suffering. Ii smiled be-
nignantly and said to the man who
had not eaten: "Your wisdom is SO
great that am compelled to pre-
serve your head as a souvenir to
transcendent genius The man was
removed and promptly decapitated. To
the other two the premier remarked:
"The cake that you are eating is not
the one you sent me, but one which
had my cook initiate. The poison
from which you are suffering exists
only in your imagination. know OF
no way to cure your present pain ex-
cept by letting you share the same
fate as your friend who has just left
the ROOM" AS they were led away
the statesman said to his retinue: ut
is pity that man who can eat a
deadly corrosive poison with an I'M
moved countenance should so misapply
the talent wherewith heaven has en-
dowed him."

HER FRIEND SAID NO.

The manager threw the manuscript
down upon the table, tilted his chair,
thrust his hat a little further back on
his head, and gave two or three salts
fed puffs at his cigar.
We've got a winner there, Colby"
he announced decisively.
The stage manager took up the
manuscript and looked over the list
of characters.
Looks like tiff you get the right
people," he assented; "but it calls for
strong company"
ooh, I won't spare expense! I'm
going to give it a production that will
make 1t the talk Of London. It's splen-
didly advertised already, you know!
The people are crazy over Crinton's
work, and this is the best thing he's
done. supposing we could get the peo-
pie, how would you cast it,"
Beverly, of course, for Lord Roth
say, Norris for the heavy, Ellerton for
young Hal, Barry for Sir Jerry, Ben
ton for the low comedy, Mrs. Frisby
for the dowager, Cartridge for the earl
he's the best old man on the stage.
AS for the adventures" went on the
stage manager, checking off each name
rapidly as he spoke, 'Lady-what's
her name?-I don't know woman who
could beat Wallace in that role. She'd
be great! Little Dellaboy would make
a good Kitty Darling-the part suits
her down to the grounds"
The manager took his cigar from his
mouth, and gazed at it meditatively.
Don't let such trifle as the salary
list bother you," he commented briefly.
Colby stopped his checking to look
keenly at his chief. you've got to
have the best" he answered. II know
they're all high-priced, but it will pay
you to engage them"

manager. you've mentioned nobody
foc that, and it's the star role of the
piece"

over ever since 1 read the play and no.
body I've thought of seems to equal it.
There's Maud Lester-she'd look the
part to perfection, and she's sympa-
thetic, but she hasn't the power. Helen
Dracy's got power and intelligence,
but she hasn't the looks. Can you
suggest anybody? The success of the
piece depends on Lady Clare"
II know of only one woman who can
play it as it should be played, and has
the looks to go with it," said the man
ager. THAT'S Edith Kingsley"
The stage manager shrugged his
shoulders.
Her declination was very decided"
he remarked.

minds occasionally" said the man
ager, with flippant sarcasm.
''But she said her retirement was
final-that she would never act again. -
The manager bestowed look Of pity
on his subordinate.
Kingsley had the world at her feet
when she married and retired two
years ago. She's had time to think it
over, my boy; the novelty of private
bliss must have worn off somewhat by
this time.''
Colby gave another look at the
manuscript.
IF you can get her it's a success"
he said.
He had too much on his mind to en-
ter into the ethics of the philosophy
of a woman's change Of mind.
The manager gave another self-sat-
isfied puff at his cigar.
''I'll see Kingsley today" he said.
Two hours later he was ushered into
the pretty drawing-room of a house in
q fashionable quarter of the city.
With his practiced eye he took in the
handsome surroundings, while the neat
maid carried his card to her mistress.
"She's got all the money she wants."
thought the manager; "but money
isn't everything to an ambitious
woman"
Something on a table near by at
tracted his attention. He went to it.
and took up large tinted photograph
Of q beautiful, grave-eyed girl in
Juliet's bridal robes.
"H'm!" he chuckled. "she hasn't
forgotten her old triumphs."
AS he put down the picture the mis-
tress Of the house entered the room
and greeted him with outstretched
hand.
