JOKE GAINED HIS POINT.
Worked IN n Committee
ON Pensions.

Not long ago Congressman Hank" Smith,
Of the Second Michigan district, worked a Joke
of on the house committee on pensions, IL
should be explained. says the Chicago Chron-
trie. that this committee IL not the one
which has charge OF the pensions which
grew cut Of the civil war, says correspond
emit Its functions appertain TO the granting
of pensions 10 the widows and veterans OF
the Mexican and Black Hawk wars and
other ancient unpleasantnexses.Z 1t should
also be pointed out that one of their rules is
that no widow pension shall be larger than
s. month THIS proceeds upon the theory
that any widow who survives veteran OF
these wars must be a comparatively youug
woman aud that she must have married the
veteran in his dotage TO get his pension.
The new member from Michigan appeared
before the committee at ITS last meeting and
in an incidental and smiling way alluded 10
the rule
THAT is fine rule said he in a guileless
sert of Way ssmpathRe with its purpose
and believe il should stand, But Just TO show
good faith am going To propose an amend

adopted with unanimous laugh.
Aud thereupon Hank produced from hil

CANNON BALLS FOR SALE.
by the Hundred from the
walls of nm Old safety Vault
In New York.

Workmen engaged in demolishing
the 4s-year-old tive-story building at
the southwest corner of Wall and Will
liam streets have found a number Of
eight-pouud iron balls let into the
joints of the granite slab forming the
outer wall of the street vault in what
was the basement Of the building.
About 200 of the balls have been found,
reports the New York Sun. One of
the workmen was sure he had discov-
cred some Revolutionary relics" and
succeeded in disposing Of a number
of the cannon balls" at so cents
apiece. So many of the metal spheres
were discovered that the price soon
fell TO tin of beer. The discovery and
salr continued Tuesday and yesterday
and as there are few slabs StIll In the
place there will probably be more "rel-
les" for sale to-day.
The demolished building was occu-
pied by the Atlantic Mutual Insurance
company and by the Phenjx bank. The
vault measures perhaps IS by 20 feet.
The granite slabs which form its outer
wall are IS inches thick. The top of
each one was followed out TO receive
half the iron ball and the bottom OF
the next higher was followed out to
receive the other half. Possibly the
metal balls were put In TO bother any
burglar who might seek to dig through
the wall

at the hotel Office he is smilingly as
spred that all faults shall be correct
ed, but nothing is done. The propri-
ctors. and head clerks, and room
clerks. and head walters all conspire
TO continue the system Of larceny.
One of our prominent statesmen,
who is man of great wealth, will
attend the Paris exposition, accom-
panied ny his family, very soon after
the adjournment OF congress. In
private conversation concerning the
proposed trip he said: THE robbers
in Paris will reap rich harvests this
year. In addition TO my regular eN-
penses. which will be rather large, /
have set aside 81 600 to be used in
tips for the garcons. That will
probably be enough to cover expenses
of that character. not only fee
the walters and all employees in sight,
but | give money To the head cook and
assistant cooks, whom the general
public never see. My walters will
then tell the cook for whom the or
ders are given, and my meals will
come upon the table in perfect con
dition to tempt the appetite, and
everything will he clean. Men who
can afford to travel can also afford TO
pay for cleanliness. Hotel Kitchens
are not always scrupulously neat,
even i'm the best hotels In giving
away money for comforts the cooks
should never be overlooked
Thus. you see, the people recognize
the evil, and pander TO it. because even
the wealthy seem TO be poWcrless in
the hands of these robbers who stand
athwart the highway and demand your
money or threaten your discomfort.
There is a senator of whom mention
has often been made in these columns
as one of the bFaveSt of brave men,
who resides at hotel with his wife
and Two daughters. He pays $3.50 per
month for rooms and board. But the
bell boys Of the hotel know that when.
ever his bell rings, no matter whether
ii is the senator or a member of his
family, a silver quarter will be forth
coming every time. Only by thus pan
dering to the rascally condition can he
be always sure of prompt and faithful
attention.
Take the advice of experience, and
when YOU come to the national capital
he prepared to be robbed. IL will be-
useless for You 10 set your foot down
and declare as emphatically as Mr..
Bowser that YOU will never submit 10
such extortion. II VIII be useless for
you TO complain 20 the hotel proprietor
or manager. II you want prompt sery-
ice and courteous treat meut under all
circumstances. YOU will submit meek

and lpkewarm coffee or tea, cold roast

The Incident which cost Miss Has
