q great deal of thinking, however. on the assembling of the officers of the court each morning they went into A side room in the custom house, where the court was held, and put on their uniforms and swords Colonel Guen- tfer, being in rather bad shape from his rheumatism was somewhat SLOW III getting on his military harness The officers, from General Ohis down, con- stantly rigged him in 9 good-natured way, for they claimed to have discoV- cred that as the rulnors of war in- creased the rheumatism got worse and worse.
 "One morning the reports in the morning papers were particularly war like, and by a coincidence Colonel Guenther was very late in arriving in attendance on the court. The officers waited for him, however to get ready, and as they marched into court General Ohis remarked to them as they took their seats: I suppose if what the pa pers say to- day is repeated tomorrow Guenther won't be able to take step. Another one suggested to the surgeon that if he expected any favorable re- suits from his treatment he had better keep the newspapers from him alto Gether Anyhow, the rheumatism grew worse and worse and it was plain to be seen that Colonel Guenther suffered great deal.
 Things ran on that way until the night the report came that the Maine had been blown up, February 15. This news acted like magic on Colonel Guen- ther, actually curing his rheumatism In one hour after he had heard of the fate of the Maine he was cured thor oughly, and he has never had pain or an ache since, the Maine cure having been permanent one, The omment the court had found it's verdict and dis solved, Colonel Guenther teIegraphed the war department for active duty in the field which service was given him, and every reader knows the rest, All hands agree that it was the fate of the Maine which cured him, Washington Evening Star

THE PENSIOS FRESHNESS.

The passage of 22o more or less du- b1ous or dishonest pension bills by the House in one day has again called at tention to the pension business Nearly all of these bills were to increase pen sions in cases where such increases had been disalowed by Commissioner Evans. It is further stated that the full amount of the pension to be allow ed in each case was stated in the bill giving the increase, but i the amount that the pensioner had been previously receiving was not stated nor was any statement made of the reason for such increase. The average increase was 200 per cent" over and above what the bureau allows, according to MT. Simms of Tennessee a member of the pension committee. In other words, the great majority of these pension bills were passed for the express purpose of secur- ing money for pensioners whoe claims had been examined by Pension Commis- sioner Evans and had been rejected
 And there is more talk that Pension Commissioner Evans should and must go. He does what he can to defeat raids on the treasury, and he is marked for slaughter by the pension agents and others interested in the pension busi- ness. It will be decidedly interesting to see how the attack on him results.

EXPLOSION FOR RHEUMATISM
The Beauty of it in This Instance was That the Patient Didn't Have to be

The Beauty of it in This Instance was That the Patient Didn't Have to be
 Present
 "The blowing up of the Maine is re- sponsibe for many things in recent his-
 tory, but I know an instance in which it cured effectually bad case of rheu- matism," observed a war department official "and case which is worth tell ing about.
 '"The man cured is Grigadier- General Francis s. Guenther, of the artillery, who was retired to-day. In January, 1898, q month and a half before the blowing up of the Maine, General Guenther then lieutenant-c colonel, was a member of the court-martial which tried the famous Captain O. M Carter case at Savannah. There were fifteen army officers on the court which was presided over by Major General Otis, then a brigadier- general, Down there as well as hereabouts, there was con siderable war in the air long before the disaster to the Maine.
 "A couple of weeks after the trial got under way, Colonel Guenther had an awful attack of rheur1atism. His legs swelled up so much that he had to be lifted about, and when he sat in the court they rested upon pillows on a chair under the table around which the court was seated. The case got to be so serious that the war department sent an army surgeon down to Saval- nah from Fort McPherson to attend him. Now, every one who knows Gen eral Otis knows that he does not have much to say on any subject and writes even less, as was evidenced by his re- ports on the war in the Philippines. It is also pretty well known that he does

CON E TO NEVV HATFS.

Some people may think there isn't much Society in Denver, but there is complaint there that the leading citi- zens of the city are too exacting with respect to the social qualifications of those whom they are willing to admit to friendship and hospitality. The bur den of this exclusiveness is felt most heavily, of course, by real estate men and merchants, but others who are in terested in the prosperity and develop men of the town think they also have some cause for remonstrance. A num- Der of persons have accumulated great fortunes in the neighborhood Of Denver, or at any rate in the State of Colorado More than a reasonable proportion of such successful men, however, have withdrawn from residence in Denver, and have transferred their investments, or at least a part of them, to other fields of development. Fifteen or twen ty such millionaires could be cited if there were need to call them by name. To every one of them, at one time or another, the doors of Denver's Society leaders have been closed, while ad- vances which they ventured in hope of recognition were remorselessly ignored Resenting the inhospitality or rigor of the leaders of the town, these men have abandoned projected real estate opera tons, and in some cases sold out con siderable properties or simply ceased to spend further money in development, and sought friendlier welcome further East
 We invite the attention of those who are leaving Denver because it is cold and inhospitable to New Haven. New Haven is 2 warm hearted place, and Society here is both friendly and just.

The superintendent of the Municipal Lodging House in Chicago thinks he has solved the tramp problem. which is serious throughout the west. He di vides tramps into classes. Some are the result of industrial conditions; some are made tramps by drink, and others are degenerate owing to the conditions of their childhood When the tramp ap- plies for lodging he is bathed and fumi- gated, and in the morning is allowed breakfast. Then he is examined by a doctor, who determines whether he is physically able to work. If he desires employment there are four firms which offer it. For four days he receives lodg- ing. If a tramp will not work he is locked up as a yagrant. No tramps or

The churches, says an advertising man quoted by the Philadelphia Rec ord seem more and more inclined to take space in the newspapers. Special services of various kinds are often quite generously advertised on Satur- days, and in some cities, notably Bos- ton, the church advertisements occupy considerable space, and are attractive ly set in display type. I dare say we shall live to see the time when the church will have it's press agent, just as the theatre has, when the religious editor will gauge the volume of ad- vance notices by the amount of adver- Using space taken, and when the church critic will vie with the dra- matic critic in dissecting the logic of sermon and praising or condemning the eloquence and oratory of the preacher.
