The past, indeed, Is like dream
You note the joy, forget the care,
Your meeting, marriage, all now seem
With other yesterdays to share.
Home-making then engrossed the days,
Sweet childish faces all agleam
SHINE brightly through this golden maze,
Inelr sunny presence lights the dream.
Charles e. and Margaret, precious pair !!
walter and Clara, no less dear,
And Linnaeus, who came to share
Your love and all your gladstone cheer.
Then marriage brought three children
More,-
Jennie, the faithful, true and tried;
Edgar and Della next appear,
The last Is still the household bride.
Grandchildren added to the chain
Helen, Ruth, Carlton, Charles, the
third.
IT'S never loss, but always gain,
A record that's almost unheard.
A chain without broken link,
Spanning space Of fifty years,
You pause with gratitude to think
VI all your recent pains and fears.
Thus your long life has hoated by,
Made up of cheerful, helpful days,
And as you near the westering sky,
You pause to bless In sheer amaze
The Unseen Hand that's led you on
That comforted In fear and pain,
mat saved In danger and distress,
preserving this unbroken chain.
And can 1t be that fifty years
Have carried you along life's way
Years that have held more smiles than
tears
Unto this anniversary day2
The day Of all bright days to hold
In bright review. as life flows on,
The day that crowns your life with gold
Your married life In Wilmington.
Written for the occasion by MrH. Annie A.
Preston. With all best wishes.

PENSION INCREASED.
Bridgeport Veteran 1hs cainsr =
 Hawley Hill In House.

.(From Our Special Correspondent9
 Washington, Feb 4.-Congressman Hill to-day introduced in the house q bill to increase the pension of Ebert E. Wilson of Bridgeport from SIP per month to $20. Wilson served in Com, pany A. Fourth New York Artillery, during the civil war.
 The house committee on invalid pen sions has reported favorably on the bill to increase the pension of John Clougharty of Norwalk, who served in Company A, Nineteenth New York Cavalry. The bill originally introduced by Mir Hill called for pension of $20, but strange to relate the pension com. mittee reported it at $24 per month. This, is probably the first time the com mittee ever increased the amount asked for in a pension bill.
 For General Hawley. Congressman Henry to-day intro. duced ill the house the bill presented in the senate by Senator Platt to place General Hawley on. the retired list of the army, with the rank of brigadier- general
 Mir Henry has had an interview with the committee on military affairs of the house and learned that six similar bills are now before the committee, all of which have passed the senate. The house committee, however, has refused to take the bills up, and they are op. posed to all bills of this kind. NJ. Henry urged the committee vrry strongly to make an exception in the case of Senator Hawley, but the com mittee would give no assurances that this would be done.
 Petitions.
 Congressman Sperry to-day intro. duced in the house resolution from the chamber of commerce of New Ha- ven urging an amendment to the GUS. tom administrative act, providing that members of the board of general ap praisers should not be removed from office unless convicted by judge o: the circuit court on charges cOnsti. tuting grounds for removal
 Mir Sperry also presented resolutions of the Women's Christian Temperance union, No ?, and the Loyal Temperance legion of New Haven. against the sale of liquor in government buildings

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Destitute Woman Appeared Against
 Her Husband To-Day,

A strange case was heard by Judge Burpee in the city court to-day. Clar- ence Welch, a young fellow of 23 years, was charged with non-support. If Welch was as hard worker as the grime on his face would indicate he must be very industrious fellow.
 Mrs Welch, a young woman of P, was so poor that she did not even have a hat. Instead, she wore wool en shawl over her head and face. She said she has two children, one aged two years and the other five weeks.
 Where have you been living?" she was asked.
 Everywhere, no place in particular, since the baby was born five weeks ago." was her answer.
 But the story of the Welches was told by Mir Doran of the department of charities. He said that a few days ago Mrs Welch went to his office and told him she had no place to Ilsep, no place to board and nothing to eat. He went to where she had been living with her husband and found man stretched upon a bed. This was the accused and he said the woman was not his wife, that they went through scn1e kind of a ceremony and that sufficed for their marriage. He said he had no money.
 Probation Officer Combellack told the rest. He said that on Tuesday evening the woman called at hls resi-. dance and told him she had no place to go to and that she had been wan. dering about the city all day and had nothing to eat. Investigation revealed a terrible state of affairs. It seemed that no one cared to take the woman and her children in because of their filthy condition. But one night the woman was allowed to sleep in a chair in house. Welch. according to NIT COmbellack was posing as q single man and going around with young girls. He had benn an inspector of electric lights and has not heen living with his wife since last fall. Lately he has been a fireman for the Consoli- dated Railroad Co.
 Welch's own story was that he did not pose as bachelor and that last week the nay car missed him. He produced S21 in court and said he was willing to give his wife half of if. He was ordered to pay to the probation officer for her So week for three months. or % to jail for sixty days.
 "Nine dollars a week" exclaimed Welch from the dock. "well. here's S1O." handing over a bill to the proba- tion officer.

In reviewing the conditions of the
neighboring states during the year just
passed, Goodwin's Weekly of Salt Lake
has the following to say concerning Ne
vada:
Nevada is coming into her own. She
now has the call on all the mining states.
If one follows the crowd he goes to Ne
vada.
"She is indicating the judgment OF
all who have best known her possible
ties. She is likely to rank first among
mining states in the next five years, and
enough of her soil under irrigation to
raise her own bread.
Nevada is all right"
