fierce battle. 81 and Shorty capture rebel

THE FATE OF The ovEHsrEEET BILL

THE FATE OF IHE ovEHsrTEET BILL
There has been a good deal of mis-
understanding about what was known
as the Overstreet Bill, which was passed
as a rider on the deficiency bill by both
Houses of Congress, copies of which
were given out at the Document Room
at the Capitol as an act, upon the sup,
position that it had become law. The
bill was one which declared that a
pension granted became vested right,
and could not be taken away from re-
cipient without so days notice and
due trial of charges made.
We publish the following letter from
the author of the bill, explaining how
it happened that the measure, which
was supposed to be at one time safely
passed, in the end failed.
Replying to your favor of the 25th inst,
I beg to inform you that the bill introduced
in Congress by myself, to which you refer,
did not become law. While it passed both
Houses, yet-just as the last of the session,
before it had gone to the President-it was
recalled by the Senate. and in the rush of
business at the close of the session, it failed
to become law.
Yours respectfully, JESSE OyERsTREET.

THE Department of Maryland, Sons
of Veterans, which includes the Dirtrict
of Columbia and the States of Della,

and South Carolina, holds its 18th an.
nual Encampment in Maccabees Hall
in this city next Monday. 1t promises
to be large and profitable gathering
Comrades Of the GAR. are cordially
invited 10 attend, and it is hoped that

IT was at first reported that Admiral
Dewey was anxious to return home in
time to attend the GAR. National En-,
campment at Philadelphia. This was
delightful news for the comrades. Now
the news is that he will make the return
voyage very leisurely, and take four
months time. This would bring him
too late for the National Encampment.
1t is earnestly hoped that he will adhere
to his original resolution, and be present
with the comrades at the 33d National
Encaiapment.
The National tribune., 1899-05-18

The best proof that things are pro-
gressing satisfactorily in the Philippines
is that Admiral Dewey is coming home.
If there were the slightest occasion for
bis remaining he would remain. II
will be remembered that he refused the
Governments detail for a pleasant
journey TO Paris to meet the Peace Com.
mission, because he felt that he was
needed at his post of duty.

The following circular has just been issued:
 New Haven, Dec, 1898. Dear sir: We beg leave to make our annual appeal for the New Haven dis pensary. The number of patients treated in the last year was the largest in the history of the institution, 16,217. While the increase, 595, was not so great as in some former years, it shows that the work of the dispensary has not yet reached it's limit, aven in its present quarters.
 Our income from the city was $1,5Oo, and from subscriptions $1,019.75, while our expenses were s2,565. The income from investments was used to make good the loss of premium on bonds re- deemed.
 Your last years subscription was S- and we shall be glad to receive a re- newal of this amount. Please send your subscription in the enclosed envelop, or if not now conven- tent, indicate on enclosed card the amount which you will give, and the time of payment.

Cold Snap Will Last Three or Four
 DnYa

Weather Observer Tar said last night that the present ,old snap would in all probability continue through the
 greater part of the present week The nights will be unusually cold with the thermometer lowering around the zero
 mark but that the temperature would
 rise to some extent during the day It will not, however, warm up enough to cause another snow storm until aboutThursday when there may be several slight squalls. Both the days and nights will be clear and cold. The storm and cold weather is general throughout the New England states, but the precipitation is heavier along the coast than farther inland. This storm originated in the west and was followed by a cold wave which now extends from the Rocky mountains to the Atlantic coast. From Montana to Maine the tenn perature ranges from twenty above to twelve below. The warmest place in this vast region is at Nantucket where the thermometer registered twenty-six above This is caused for the most part by the warm ocean currents.
 In this city at o'clock last night the thermometer ranged from 10 above to zero.
 Owing to the very sudden change in the weather the services in the various churches were but slightly attended. Some of those who did attend went in sleighs but the snow was hardly deep enough to make the s'eighing very good,
 The Fair Haven and Westyille conn., pany did a very considerate thing by their motormen. A colder place than the front end of one of the company's cars would be hard to find. The officials fully realized this and they arranged to miti- gate their suffering as much as possible. During a portion of the afternoon and greater part of the night two sets of motormen were given employment. While one man took a car from the corner of State and Chapel streets to the depot another man was warming himself by a fire. When the cars re- turned from the depot the second mo- torman took the car on it's regular run out Shelton avenue ond return This same scheme was carried out on all the other lines of the company. The men were also supplied with all the hot tem- perance drinks that they desired.

 During the past year the whole num- Der of patients treated has been 127S The daily average of patients has been 1231s. The fact need not be emphasized that in this period very unusual de- mands were made upon the hospital and the above figures go beyond any record for many years.

Our charitable funds are drawn upon to the limit and we are constrained to ask with a special earn- estness the aid for which we are accus- toned to look on hospital Sunday.

On being told that their tastes were as diverse as their persons, and that we had no na- tional food, he said, Now can you in- form me how a hotel is conducted on the American plan?" He was quite as- tonished to learn that his hostelry was being managed on those self-same principles.
 Altogether Christmas was an exceed ingly quiet day. A few firecrackers fizzled lazily or exploded in the early morning, and at night rockets and Ro- man candles were sent up to lose them selves in the white glory of the splendid tropical moon.

REV. MR. DICK ERWiN
Preached at tine United Church Festcr-
 dny Morn!ng.

At the United church yesterday morn ing the Rev. George g. Dickerman oc- cupied the pulpit in the absence of the pastor, the Rev. pr. Munger, who is ill. He preached an able sermon from tha text Isaiah lvi, 15. He said in part on the sterner experiences of life men find themselves. Ii is possible for man to be good because he cannot be any, thing else, but change the circum- stances to want and stress and the man finds goodness net SD easy. The captain of the Vizcaya found things different between being on exhibition in New York harbor and being in battle off Santiago In times of severity and trouble we are prepared to know God. We cannot regret Isaiah's troubles if they were the means of his attaining the deep knowledge shown in the later is true also that much, if not most, of the prophecy has the urce of in the same source of trouble. The way of trial is still the way of peace.

DIED IN FORESTvITJ,E

Rodney Barnes of Forestville passed away December 30. He was eighty years of age, and up to about month before his death was able to be around and attend to his business. He was the owner of a great deal of real estate and probably knew more about the his tory of Forestville than any other man in town. He always took an active in- terest in the building up of the place. A wife and two sons, Watson E. Barnes of forestville and Roland Barnes of Maiden, Mass, survive him. The fun eral was held from his late residence yesterday afternoon.

President Mckinley May Remain
Away From Chicago.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. 8.-Presi-
dent Mckinley may find 1t inconvenient
to go to Chicago in October to lay the
cornerstone Of the new postoffice. The
attempt to make the cornerstone laying
an international event, with the president
Of the United States acting as the mas
ter mason, has enabled the union men
to involve the government in the contest
between the contractor and the granite
cutters. The treasury department has
been very careful that it should not be
involved in this quarrel between Con-
tractor Pierce and the Granite Cutters
National association. The department
has it's inspectors who will see that the
granite is properly cut. Architect Cobb
and the treasury department have,
through the months that have elapsed
since the trouble began. kept out of it.
But the arrangements to have President
Mckinley lay the stone has directly in
volved the government so that 1t must
recognize the union or refuse that recog-
milton. The president is annoyed. and ne
may find himself too busy to go to Chi
caEo.
