should now be paying pensions to
more than one-fourth of those who

should be more pensioners than there

this within eight years after the close
OF the war, is absurd. They saw lit

Two Rare Books.

The National library of Belgium has
just acquired two old books of great
rarity. The curator had long been en-
deayoring to procure a copy Of the first
book ever printed in the Balearic isles,
the 'Tractatus de Regulis Mandate
rum" The only copy hitherto known
to exist was in the Spanish National
library in Madrid. The author is the
famous Gerson, and the book was
printed in the C%arthusian Monastery of
the Trinity IN Majorca. After much
searching success has at last crowned
the curator's efforts. though whence
the treasure has been unearthed is pru-
IDENTIFY kept from public knowledge.
The other book. not less rare. is a col
lection OF the writings in prose and
verse of the Catalan pier. Francesh

suppressing piracy. In February, 1897,
he left the hudson in the Adventure

this intention. This expedition had been
equipped chiefly at the expense Of the
Wing ministers. and its commander
carried with him. besides the ordinary
letters Of marque, n commission under

pirates and to take them to some place
where they might be dealt with ac-

Today Congressman Long worth and
Miss Alice Roosevelt were united in
marriage at Washington, in the
White House, and it is the first mar
rage that has taken place for a num-
Der OF years. The whole world was
interested in this wedding and the
honor that has been paid the bride
of the day speaks volumes for The
friendly interest that has been shown
by foreign countries. Many things
have happened in connection with
the wedding which have been rather
oyerdrawn. but it was due to no ac-
qulesence ON the part of those di-
rectly interested, but because the
people of the United States simply
lost their heads over the wedding.
