eco new claims there has been pracu- cally no expansion whatever of the pen sion rCl On July l, 1901, the numbe. of persons entitled to draw pensions was 997, 1885; on July l, 1900, 1t was 99S, ,525 Nine years ago, long before the rush of applications under the depend ent pension act of 1899 had spent itself the total was 966,012. The slight in- creases made since 1897 have plainly testified, in fact, to the gradual exhaus- tion of the extraordinary pressure for enrolment created by that most lav- ish and all embracing statute. It would not be surprising if, with Q con tinuance of the bureaus present pol icy of pushing the adjustment Of out standing claims. the pension list should next year pass the million mark. But indications point decidedly to reaction thereafter-a drop which will carry the total gradually back to where it stood some ten or even fifteen years ago. New York Tribune.

RANK OF THE MORTGAGE
Among Claims Against Estates of the
 Dead

A very small matter though involv- ing an interesting problem was settled probte court yesterday. An order for ale of real estate of the estate of Jere- iliah Malcolm had been applied for, and the sale had been made to Phoebe Tal- ,1tt, who held a mortgage against the
 roperty sold, for all it was worth. The oOnfirma tiOn of the sale was opposed by Mohn & Easterling. undertakers, on ne ground that their claim against the estate had priority under the statutes f the territory, which rank claims
 gainst the estates of deceased persons i l the following order: For funeral eX- Tenses, expenses attending the last ill-
 ess, claims under e.laws of the Unit c l States. claims under the laws of the [ ,rritory. mortgages in the order of tleir dates, judgments in the same or ( 1T and then other claims and accounts.
 It appeared at first as if the oppon- clts had a priority, but there are other iUws on the same subject. One of these
 ~ovides that a mortgagee may bring an Gction in the district court against the ostate, but in that case he will have to pay his own attorney fee. Another paragraph allows the mortgagee to bid in the mortgaged property and turn into the court the mortgage in pay lnent. The law of this territory is a copy of the California law, and a de cisiCn of the supreme court of that state holds that the paragraph relat- Ing to the priority of claims does not govern the paragraph for the relief of mortgages. This view of it was taken by the probate court in this case and the objection to confirmation was over ruled
 If any other rule were established il would be difficult for persons with small holdings to secure loans, for ir the cases of a majority of smaller es- tates the claims preceding mortgages amount to as much as the value of tho estates.

BOsTON's GENTLEMAN HOBO.

William J. Robinson was successful in proving his claim that he is a gen tleman hobo" and that men of his type break no law by enjoying ;Ee life they live.
 A policeman of the Back Bay station made the charge that he was a vagrant and sought to have him sent away. He told the judge that Robinson slept in a hut near the railroad tracks in the vicinity of the Dartmouth street bridge and was not known to work
 Did you ever see me drunk?' the prisoner asked.
 "I never did," the policeman replied.
 Isn't it a fact that don't drink?"
 i've heard it said you don't"
 Did you ever see me beg?"
 "No.''
 How 60 you make me out a va grant,"
 You don't do any work and you live along those tracks"
 Your honor," said the hobo, q may not live in a brown stone front, may he somewhat backward in telling po- licemen all about my affairs, but l don't think that makes me out d va grant. Do you?" The judge didn't think so, and told the policeman that he guessed the charged Robinson, who left the court room with a smile on his face, saying that he was going back to his hut alongside the railroad tracks.-New York Telegram.
