Mr. Holiday introduced in the House the
following bill providing for the monthly
payment of pensions;
BE II enacted bV me Senate and House Of
RebyeSeRidfi0eS IT. The Gnffed .Sf0kes Of
america fH C0HeTeSS assembled, That all
pensions which are now payable quarterly
shall hereafter be paid monthly, and that
the Secretary Of the Treasury be, aud he Is
hereby, authorized and instructed to pro-
vide plan for putting into effect the pro-
visions Of this Act
Mr.. Holidays bill ought to become a
law forthwith aud the only wonder is that
in the past the government has persisted in
paying quarterly the men who earned their
stipends at the cannons mouth while all its
other creditors are paid monthly or semi
monthly.
There are man good and sufficient
reasons for the change to monthly pension
payments not the least of which will be
tile breaking ~ ci the practice Of hypotile-
eating, at discount their quarterly PEN
sions by the impecunious and impoverished
old soldiers
The Shyocks who hugged the firesides of
their homes while men were receiving
wounds and death and contracting diseases
in the service of the Republic have taken
~
the pensioners distress and the Govern.
ment's quarterly payments to make their
"ten per cent" off the old soldiers, thus
further reducing the stipend allowed by
grateful country to the men who have borne
the heat and the danger Of march, bvouac
and battle and incidentally, making glad
sioner of pensionsl
ts,f~ .rare
old soldiers are receiving more pension
money than their services calls forl
The half-pay officer, the department Of
fetal and the Federal tax eater everywhere
receives his compensation monthly or semi
monthly, why not the men who stood up in
line Of battle to be shot at1
OF course there will be some sympathizer
Of II. Clay Evans to rise in his place in Con-
gress and offer some puerile objection to
this equitable measure, such as the danger
of am increased clerical force, the increased
expense to the Government thereby and the
old twaddle of while ostensbly guarding
the interests Of the "improvident pen
sioner" shooting him in the neck whenever
any real measure in his INTEREST," is proposed.
The old soldiers throughout the country
will mark the Representatives who resort
to these time houored" tactics in OppOsi-
tiou TO Mr.. Holidays bill II IS the uni
versal sentiment of the pensioners-the rank
and dle-that this measure is both bene-
fetal and necessary, and that It will save
them the dollars now paid the Shylocks
who discount their quarterly payments.
The GLOBE hopes the bill will become a
law, and that there are enough sincere sol
dier friends among the members of the
Fifty seventh Congress to pass the Holli-
day bill.

ARRESTED FOR ARSON.
The Proprietor and House Keeper OF
Green's Hotel in Custody.


Green's Hotel in Custody.
AS the result of the serious fire at Green's
Hotel, corner of First and street, ,sout beast,
Friday morning last, the proprietor, John
w. Green, and his house keeper. Mamie
Strong have been arrested by the police
authorities An investigation into the origin
Of the FIRE brought to light the fact that
Green had been moving furniture from the
house for several days and that the build
ing contained less than $500 worth, all told.
when the FIRE broke out The insurance on
the contents was So, 600. About two years
ago Green conducted a similar establish
ment on Missouri avenue, northwest. and il
was destroyed by FIRE. The insurance was
collected. On the Ist day of January the
hotel which was so badly damaged Friday
morning was found to be on FIRE in one Of
the rear rooms on an upper floor The
flames were discovered and extineuished.
with loss of less than $50
Last month Green appeared at police
headquarters and announced that he had
been robbed of SO while walking through
Capitol Park the night berore. He said he
had gone to the home of the owner of the
hotel building to pay the rent for the
month, but finding that the landlord was
out he started for his home with the money
in his pocket. He said lie was met by two
men in the park who knocked him down
and took the money. The police investi-
gated the matter, but could discover no evil
dence to confirm the story Green IS being
detained at the Sixth precint police station
1t was shortly after O'Clock Friday
morning when Officer Fittou, of the Fifth
precinct discovered that the hotel was on
rYe s.,.
and then ran to the building in time to force
a lower window and assist Green and the
housekeeper to escape. A man named Col
Inns also left the building in the same way.
The fire companies arrived, and as the
building was burning in every room, sec
ond alarm was sounded by Assistant Chief
Belt. The property adjoining was greatly
endangered, but the fremen succet ded in
gaining control of the fire within very
short Il e. An examination Of the house
after the flames had been extinguished led
to the police investigation, resulting in the
arrest of Green. The building is owned by
Representative Hit Green took posses
sion last May.
In a search OF the premises Precinct Detec-
tive Lohman resuuected several letters that
il y thought may have some bearing on the
case. One Of them is directed to Elsie, "
and refers to terrible ghost that was said
to haunt the house
The ghost is a woman and goes through
the building at all hours Of the night and
day slamming doors, lighting the gas where
II IS not wanted, and extiuguishing it where
il 10 wanted, besides doing other unusual
things, 1t is impossible to keep negro SER
wants in the house. Some people say that
the ghost started the other fire, but do not
believe it,"
The reference to the fire was evidently to
the previous one. The authorities are con-
vinced that the FIRE is of incendiary origin.

Appeal.


In view of the many conflicting stories
which are being circulated as to the status
of the Schiey case, it can be authoritatively
stated that nothing will be done by the
President until the appeal to be prepared
by Admiral Schley and his counsel has been
submitted It is not likely that this docu-
ment will be framed until after the return
of Admiral Schley from the South
1t is understood that the President will
carefully read the evidence which was
given in the case in order that he might
satisfy himself as to its nature, instead Of
relying upon summaries, which might
be prejudiced or partial. The Attorney
General will also acquaint himself with the
testimony. It will be probably several
weeks before the Presidents final decision

The matter of new bridges to take

is anticipated, and the state cannot
get out of paying for the bridges.

What promises to be the greatest
attempt of the present era in stage
realism will be seen at the Grand
Opera House next Tuesday night
in Lincoln ]. Carter's famous melo-
drama, The Fast Mail" The
play is known throughout the
country for the completeness and
magnitude OF its mechanical effects.
The production is under the per-
sonal supervision of its author,
Lincoln J. Carter. Special scenery
is carried for the ten complete sets
to be used III the play. In the
second act a steamboat is shown
with the boiler room and intricate
machinery and its glowing fur
naces. The boat is blown up by
tremendous explosion, and the
wreck is seen going down in mid
river. The great railway scene is
another of the unprecedented a.
chlevements of this performance in
the direction of realism. A freight
train of fourteen cars is run across
the stage with an illuminated ca
boose and practical locomotive.
The fireman and engineer are seen
at their respective stations, which
gives the picture an even more
realistic aspect. A mail train comes
speeding by, catching the mail
pouch just as everyone has seen it
do many times in actual experience.
In the last act Niagara Falls are
shown in all their natural beauty.
The soft moonlight adds to the ef-
feet, and the scene needs only the
addition of the suspension bridge
to complete the whole effect.
