Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire has called the Senate's attention to the enormous amount of special pension legislation that comes before congress. He estimated there had been no less than 5000 of these bills that the Senate pension committee had been asked to take up during the present congress. One senator alone had introduced 162 bills, and another 145 Even as large as are these figures, Senator Gallinger predicted that they would be doubled in the Fifty-seventh congress. The trouble is that pension attorneys have been advising their clients that it is easier to get a pension by congressional action than through the regular chan nels of the pension bureau.

MONKS MAY STAY IN FRANCE.
But the Owners of Lourdes Must

The monopoly which the Carthu-
sian monks have heretofore enjoyed
ia France, and which has Melted the
French government 100000 francs a
year, is sustained under the ecclesIas-
tical law, as it has been under the
civil law. These monks make the
famous chartreuse liqueur, and employ
everybody In the whole province of
Grenoble, where is their mother house
called the Grande Chartreuse. The
recipe for this liquor is known only TO
these monks and only by three OF
their number at that. In 1892 secu-
lar priest named Ciotti, who had been
a Carthusian at Grenoble and obtained
the secret while there, started the
making of the liqueur In Rome. His
competition becoming felt, the powers
at Rome were petitioned and they
supported the monks In their conten.
ton. The suspension OF Father CLOTH
as a priest was issued by the famous
Cardinal Parocchi. The civil laws
being brought 10 bear also, Father
Ciotu took his mandatory TO Lon

profit to the Carthusians from this
liquor making is counted TO be 10000
600 francs year. At the very begin

dered the Carthusians to contribute
100000 francs yearly to the support

SHARKEY THE WINNER.

Thomas j. Sharkey Knocked out Big
FIed'' Russell, the California heavy
weight, in the fourth round OF wbat
was scheduled to be a l0-round 90
before the Colorado Athletic Asso-
citation here tonight. The contest was
full of rough-and tumble tactics,
science playing but little part.
In the first round there was little
leading. They c'inched and fought
wildly and the referee had the greatest
difficulty In separating them. In
the succeeding rounds Russell threw
Sharkey down by nlaiu strength several
times.
In the third round Russell landed
some good body blows, which seemed
to knock the breath out Of the sailor.
He was groggy at the end of the round,
and il Russell had gone in then he
might bavD won.
In the fourth round both men, after
havirg teen cautioned by tho referee
that they must fight and not wrestle,
started out to obey his instructions.
Soon, however, they were clinching,
with the referee earnestly imploring
them 10 fight fairly. Sharkey broke
away from olincn, and as he did SO he
landed right add left swings on Ruesell's
jaw. putting him down. Russell
grabbed Sharkey's foot and pulled him
down, but Sharkey pulled away, and as
Russell al ose Sharkey sent in the finish
ing punch, half swing on the ear
with his right.
Before the battle Referee Frank
Cullen called all bets off, because, as
he said, the management o; the club
wished to protect itself and its patrons
He Inferred that it had been rumored
that deal was on between the
fighters. Both he and Manager Floto
announced, however, that they we're
assured that no arrangements mad been
made, but for the protection of them
selves and the spectators they would
take no other course but to declare all
bets off.
