The Pension Burden.

The New York Sun publishes the
following array of "Facts Withou,
Comment" which should appeal elo
quently to every citizen:
The annual pension appropriation
bill now before Congress carries S245,.
245, ,230. This is the largest appro
priation on record.
The amount to be appropriated this
year for pensions, thirty-si years af
tor the close Of the Civil War, to
which the enormous charge is chiefly
due, exceeds .he aggregate payments
CT the same accounts during the FIVE
years from 1879 to 1853, inclusive.
1t tis more than Double the appro.
pri=Aica Of 1890, eleven years ago.
Il is more than double the expendi.
lures Of the Federal government, fo,
all purposes, in 1861, the first year Of
the Civil War.
1t nearly EQUALS the total expendi.
lures Of the Federal government, ex.
clu9ing interest on the public dept, in
1871, only thirty years ago.
70 is more than FIVE times what the
republicans we're paying for pensions
in 1873, thirteen years after the end
of the Civil War.
The total number of pensioners now
on the roll is 993, ,52a. Ten years ago
there were 537 1894. Twenty years ago
there were 25O,8O2.
The total number of new claims al
loved last year was 4O,645, exceeding
by more than 1000 the reduction oc-
casioned in the roll by the deaths of
old pensioners, thirty-six years after
the end of the Civil War.
There is good deal of talk in and
out of Congress about the reckless ex-
travaganoe Of the governmentin build
ing ships and improving waterways
and otherwise contributing to the
eountry's material projection and de-
velopment, but there is no great agita-
tion for reduction OF the pension
budget. Why should not some legis-
lator give attention to that appalling
and iniquitous burden?

How to Doctor Dogs.

A sick dog dislikes medicine as
much as sick boy. He does not un-
derstand why you are giving it to him
and you must do it very gently OF he
will get nervous and frightened. Pat
him between your knees, and gently
raise his jaw. If the medicine is IL
-quid do not open his mouth, but part
his lips at one side and pour the medi.
cine in slowly with spoon or bottle.
Then, if he does not swallow, insert
the spoon between his teeth in front,
which will generally make him do it..
If the medicine is pill or something
solid, hold his head the same way,
and, with the left hand under his low
er jaw, press with the thumb and flo
ger where the jaws come together.

An Old Family Burying Place,

BEAUFORT, Jan. PA gentleman
Of this town who returned yesterday
from hunting expedition with sew
eral Of his friends to Hilton Head
Island gave your correspondent the
following interesting account Of q
visit he made to the old VIM. Il. Bay
nard family vault on the Baynard
plantation on Hilton Head:
''The vault" said the gentleman,
"was substantially constructed of
brown stone and in contour was nearly
square. The entrance doors, of iron,
in good state Of preservation were
open. Upon entering the party found
q narrow vestibule with marble doors
leading into the interior Of the tomb,
these doors were displaced and broken
and entering through them into the
inner portion of the tomb q coffin was
observed lying ON the stone floor It's
lid had been displaced aud upon lift
ing it carefully aside gruesomc sight
was disclosed to view. Within re-
posed the remains of a young woman
which appeared to have suffered but
slightly from the ravages of time.
Her long blonde hair was perfectly
intact as were also her features.
Gently taking her hand the narrator,
who is q physician, found to his as
tonishment that the flesh was pliable
and soft as in life, the arms were COW
cred with growth Of hair an inch and
half long. After brief inspection
of these remains, of one who in life
must have been woman of rare
beauty, the lid was reverently re,
placed, and the gentlemen resumed
their inspection of the antc-bellum
tomb. Several old fashioned iron
collins we're exposed to view and these
burial caskets differed greatly from
the wooden metallic caskets and con-
sisted Of two pieces of cast iron close
iy resembling in contour human
body. The upper piece fitted snugly
over the lower, extending clear to the
bottom where line Of revits firmly
sealed these enduring coffins of past
generation. There were also several
wooden collins, evidently made on the
plantation, and they, too, appeared to
be substantial and well preserved.
Perhaps score of spaces for the re-
cepticn Of the dead were open and had
apparently never been utilized for
burial purposes. Sad to relate there
were evidences that the hallowed
place had been invaded by soldiers
who were stationed on the island dur,
ing the recent Spanish American war.
The names Of these men were scratch
ed upon portions of the interior walls.
There were also additional evidences
of wanton deseeration about the place.
In the grounds adj oiniDg this ancient
tomb were several marble slabs mark
ing interrments made in 1903. Over
the entrance to the vault was the eim-
pie inscription "Wm. E. Bayne-d.
Integrity and Fidelity"
The gentleman giving this interest
ing information expressed the hope
that it woul' reach some descendants
of the Baynard family who might then
take. measures to have the tomb of
their ancestors restored and sealed
against further intrusion.-St

Methods.
Only twelve years ago Mr.. Charles
NJ. Hays, the new president Of the
Southern Pacific railroad, held cler.
ical position. Now he receives the high.
est salary paid to any railroad presi.
dent in America--probably in the
world. This Is said to be $55,OOO, or
5000 more than is paid to the Presi.
dent of the United States, according to
the Saturday Evening Post. The pecu-
liarity of Mr.. Hays mental equipment
which enables him to command this
splendid income is well illustrated by a
certain bunch of old letters reposing In
the pigeonhole of the desk of an Off
clal who was a subordinate of Mr.
Hays when the latter was general
manager of the Wabash road. Some
OF these epistles are only two or three
lines in length, hut not one of them is
too short to contain sentence of Off.
cial commendation of the kind calcu.
lated to stir the heart of the most in.
different subordinate. The ability to
bestow approval with the same discern.
ment and promptness with which he
metes out criticism Is held to be the
scCieI VI his IDlenOlHeIlul SUCCESS.
His complete demonstration of re.
makable abilities for harmonizing con.
nictlng interests and attracting large,
popular and loyal following was made
as vice president and general manager
OF the Grand Trunk line. Here he en-.
countered n deep-seatcd prejudice
against his Yankee origin and Ameri-
can methods. From nagman to direc-
tors the road was stanchly British.
Red tape and ofilcialism We're highly
developed in the service. There was
not, 1t is said. typewrlting machine
In any Office of the system.
One of the first orders issued by Mr..
Hays was for force of stenographers
and typewrlters, and an equipment OF
machines for the entire system. But
the most revolutionary practice which
he carried into effect on the big Ca.
madam road was the 'open door" pol
Icy. Not only did Mr.. Hays keep his
own door open to all who had legiti.
mate and important business, but he
also saw to 1t that the doors of the
officials under him We're broadly open
TO the public. Mr.. Hays is only forty.
four years OF age and was born In
