"You see, whenever I found anything

rooms early to clean up, and there
on the blackboard, was writ

to the same room and on the black

The ChapIaln's Tact.

An army chaplain on transport
found that the officers played cards
from morning to night. When Sun
day came he took a good supply of
reading matter to the cabin and was
on hand as soon as the tables were
cleared. When the officers began to
get ready to play cards as usual, he
stepped to the head of the table and
said good-naturedly, "Gentlemen,
tracts are trumps to-day, and it is
my deal" Gall right, chaplain," the
officers responded, "give IFS hand"
The books and papers were given
out, and no one played cards. that
day, because the chaplain had shown
tact in presenting his claims.-Chris-

it was added, for his guidance in

Missionaries Take Chances.

.
United States Minister ALLEN cabled
the State Department from Seoul, under
date of Wednesday of last week that the
Cincinnati arrived Tuesday at Chemulpo
with twenty-three Americans from Chin
ampo. The Minister announced that
the missionaries in the neighborhood of
Ping Yang had refused to send their
women and children aboard the Cincin-
natl where they could be taken to place
of safety. The State Department has
made it clear to the missionary repre-
sentatives in this country that in the
case of actual war it cannot undertake
to employ the United States army and
navy in expeditions into the interior of n
country which is the scene of war. If
the missionaries remain after proper
warning the United States Government
cannot remove them, and they must
take their chances with other civilians.
Commander- Mason of the Cincinnati
notified the navy department. that he
had taken the twenty three American
refugees to Chefoo.

Finances OF the State.

Columbia correspondence of the News
and Courier: 1t is rather a curious COM
mentary upon the finances of the State
that the borrowing of money will have
to begin as early as April This does not
mean that the State is embarrassed or
that 1t will not meet its Just and proper
obligations, but it means that the State
spends its money before it ia actually i'm
hand. The expectation is that the State
pensions TO Confederate soldiers will be
paid during the latter part of April, and
whenever these pensions are paid the
State will have to borrow. The statutes
allow the borrowing of 5000 900 with
which to meet the payment of pensions,
and at least hall, and very probably all,
of this fund will have to be borrowed
and interest paid on it until next year.
Moreover, 1t will not be long before the
SLate will have to borrow more money,
as 1t will not have sufficient money on
hand with which to meet current ex-
penses, and at the same time meet the
July interest on the State debt. The
State will have to borrow money at a
greater rate of interest than it is paving
on its bonds. BY next January the State
will have to borrow up to the legal limit
$500, 0,000-according to present calcula-
tions. The appropriation act carries
more money with it than heretofore and
the new methods of raising additional
revenue-the franchise tax, the dog tax
and tho like--will not be available In
time to avoid the maximum amount of
borrowing.

Wanted to be Electrocuted.

Governor Odell, of New York, has re-
ceived a most extraordinary letter from
man condemned to death for murder,
requesting the interference of the execu.
tive to prevent any attempt to delay the
execution. The writer is Frank II. Bur
ness, sailor. convicted in Brooklyn of
the murder of George b. Townsend, the
captain of his vessel He is confined in
Sing Sing prison and was to have been
executed on February 8, but the execu.
tion was stayed on an appeal to the court
of appeals taken by his attorney without
the consent OF the condemned mau The
letter says in substance that the writer
believes himself deserving of the death
penalty, which he wants Inflicted with
all possible speed. He declares he does
not want new trial, as he has violent
temper which he is unable to control and
probably would commit other crimes,
The Governor will take no action in the
matter.

Roosevelt and tho Pension Rolls.

Washington, March 20. According to
calculations made by Commissioners of
the Pensions Ware, now on tho file in tho
Senate Committee on Pensions, the SER
vice pension order will add to the list
entitled to pensions at least 321 900 SOL
diers. These are all more than 90 years
old and by the lowest scale provided for
In the order get So a month. This would
amount to $23, ,1l2,000 to the annual list
of pension appropriations. This, ao-
cording to the estimates is the lowest
figure, for the orIer provides that after
the veterans become 85 years old they
shall receive So month; after 8S, $40,
and after 20, $l2. Thus this sum must
be increased by millions before it can be
told accurately just how much the latest
order will cost the government It is
easy to see that q 'tseryice pension by n
stroke of the pen" means great deal
more expense to the government than
has as yet been estimated by any member
OF the Observation-Disclosures who has been
making excuses for the order. 1t means
the payment of that amount to secure
the Grand Army of the Republic vote to
