Good Luck nrlngs nonus.

Foreign steamship companies have
rule by which the pay of captains and
engineers is Increased where no acci-
dents occur for a year. On the British
steamship lines the captains receive
from $500 to Il 200 year, without per-
qulsites. If. at the end of the year,
British commanders boat has met
with no accident he gets bonus. The
British lines think this system of re-
ward has tendency to make COM
manders more careful. The pay Of aa
engineer on the German lines ranges
from f240 to $500 a year. The pay OF
the British engineer does not differ
materially from these figures, but he
also receives bonus II his engines
run without accident during the year.

Milburn House. Buffalo, Sept, IA
President Roosevelt reached Buffalo
| mt lao this afternoon, accompanied
only by his private secretary, William
Loeb, Jr. When he left the train NJ
escort of the Fourth signal CORPS
formed about him and conducted hiir
to an automobile which his friend
Ansley Wilcox, had In waiting.
The President rode to the Wilcox
home, where he stopped to dress and
then went to the Mllburn house tc
make his official call of coincidence.
The place selected to take the oath
of office was the library OF Mr.. VIII
cox's house, n rather small room, but
picturesque, the heavy oak trimmings
and the massive book cases giving all
somewhat the appearance of legal
den. A pretty bay window with
stained glass and heavy hangings
formed background and against this
the President took his position.
Surrounding him were the five mem.
bers of the Cabinet. Secretaries Root,
Hitchcock, Long, Wilson and Post
master General Smith. Nearby were
senator Chaunccy NJ. Depew. Judge of
the Court OF Appeals Haight, John
Scathard. Mr.. and Mrs. Ansley Wilcox,
Miss Wilcox, George p. Sawyer, Drs.
Mann, Park and Stockton. Mr. and
Mrs. Carleton Sprague, Mr.. and Mrs.
John q. Milburn, secretary to the
President, William Loeb, lr.; secre-
tary to the deceased President, George
Il. Cortelyou; DIR. and Mrs. Charles
Carey, II. C. Scathard, j. ID. Sawyer,
William letters of the United States
Senate, and judge of the United
States District Court, John II. Hazel.
Judge Hazel stood near the Presi-
dent In the bay window and the latter
showed his almost extreme nervous
ness by plucking at the lapel of his
long frock coat and nervously tapping
the hardwood floor with his heel. He
stepped over once to Secretary Root
and for about five minutes they con-
versed earnestly. The question at Is
sue was whether the President should
first sign an oath of office and then
swear in, or whether he should swear
In first and sign the document in the
case after.
At precisely 3:4o o'clock, Secretary
Root ceased his conversation with the
President and. stepping back. while
an absolute hush fell upon every one
in the room, said in an almost in
audible voice:
"Mr. Vice President. L" then his
voice broke and for fully two minutes
the tears came down his face and his
lips quivered. so that he could not
continue his utterances. There We're
sympathetic tears from those about
and two great drops ran down either
cheek Of the successor of William Nc
Kinley. Mr.. Roots chin was on his
breast. Suddenly throwing back his
head. as If with an effort, he continued
in broken voice:
II have been requested on behalf of
the Cabinet of the late President, at
least those who are present in Buffalo,
all except two, TO request that for rea-
sons of weight, affecting the affairs of
government, you should proceed TO
take the constitutional office Of presi-
dent of the United State"

Just how long pensions may con-
tinue illustrated by the fact that there
are still four widows of revolutionary
soldiers on the rolls. According to
the same continuation and considering
the average of life increasing, this gov
ernment may be paying pensions on
account OF the Spanish war as late as
20ls. 1t will not be for any lack OF
applications. which already number
1900. OF which nearly 1000 have been
granted. And the revolutionary wards
are not the only ones with long lives,

Souls can not BE- estimated in shek-
als. says the Evangelist, and yet there
does seem to be an unwelcome signlfi-
cance In the fact that. as some one has
estimated last year. the sum of 50 3.3O0,-
900 was expended in Greater New
York for the current expenses OF Pro-
.estant churches. while the increase in
membership was only 5.27). Yet the
fault. continues the Evangelist. OF
these facts is not TO be blamed wholly
upon the members OF the churches. as
70 many very glibly say. but in large
measure TO be attributed to the desper-
ately wicked worldliness OF great
masses of our time. who. in spite OF
all manner OF gospel advantages and
appeals. go on their way. like Gallo
Of old. caring for none OF these things.

The act OF union between Sweden
and Norway provides that the king
shall spend part OF the year in Nor
way. This time has usually been lin
tied. A change in this respect is now
contemplated. and 1t is proposed con-
additionally to compel the king to
spend the same length OF time in Nor
way as in Sweden-say in one, two or
three years at time in each country.
It is believed that this measure. II
adopted. will render the monarchy
more popular with the Norwegians.
