number of members employ no Sec

paid over the previous clerical allow
ance to their wives or daughters, or
TO some other members of their
family. This was simply to ease their
consciences, but now this will be
unnecessary, provided of course that
the senate acquiesces. During the
past few days, senators have very
freely discussed this action of the
house, and the concenus Of opinion
seems to be that the clause should be
amended so as to provide that every
man who draws the pay of clerk
or secretary should have his name on
the roll so that there can be no chance
for the petty frauds which have been
common in the past
Members of the house have openly
expressed the opinion, on the other
hand, that the senate will restore the
increased salary amendment. But the
senate grew sick of raking chestnuts

years ago. Up till three years ago 1t
was the annual custom to insert in
some general bill a paragraph to the
effect that no liquors, wine or beer
should be sold within the capitol
building. This clause would invari-
ably be adopted by the house and then
members who voted for it would go
over to the senate and urge their
friends to knock it out. Finally the
senate grew tired of this sort of thing
and permitted this obnoxious para
graph to remain in bill to which It
was in no sense germane. The result
is that there is not one drop of in
toxicating liquor of any kind sold in
the restaurants in either end of the
capitol.

GRANTED A PENSION
Charles T. Murray, Famous
Newspaper Man, Favored
by Congress.
(By E. C. snyder.l

Washington, Dec. 24.-Congress has
just enacted law granting pension
for forty dollars per month to
Charles T. Murray. Murray was for
twenty years newspaper correspon-
dent here in Washington. He served
through the civil war and was badly
wounded, but he never applied for a
pension until he reached the stage
of need. Murray is a brilliant man.
He has written number of very in
teresting novels of Washington's life,
and at one time was considered quite
wealthy as wealth goes among news
paper writer's. But he has met re-
verses and now when past sixty, has
had to ask his friends to secure for
him what he could have had without
congressional legislation if he had APP
piled years ago.
The passage of the Murray pension
bill calls to mind the fact that the
beneficiary was one of three Phila-
delphia newspaper correspondents
who framed the constitution and by
laws of the Gridiron club of which
he was one of the founders and which
has grown to be the most famous Or
CARNATIONS of it's kind in the world.
But an old time newspaper man see
ing the record of the action of the
house in the matter of the Murray
pension bill was reminded of a very
amusing incident connected with
Murray's newspaper career. Twenty
years ago." said he, Il was doing the
leg work for one of the leading cor
respondents here and on one occas-
sion Murray asked me to drop into
the hotels down town and to obtain
the names of all the arrivals who had
registered from the southwest. At
that time he represented paper in
st. Louis. brought up the list to
him and he telegraphed the names out
to his paper. About a week after, a
ferocious looking gentleman, nearly
seven feet tall, and wearing typical
westerners hat, walked into Murray's
office and remarked that he was look
ing for the correspondent of the St.
Louis Democrat. He used language
in connection with his inquiry that
was really shocking. AS soon as Muir
ray had responded that he was the
individual sought, the westerner
pointed to a paragraph and said with
a string Of oaths did you send that
paragraph? Murray looked at It and
found that it was a simple little line
like this: James G. Gardner and wife
of Talequah, Indian Territory are
registered at the NATIONAL
II suppose l sent it said Murray"
Did you send that and wife,
howled the irate resident of the In
dian Territory?
Il reckon l did," was the response.
Isn't Mrs. Gardner here?"
= YES" by heck, she got here this
morning."

CHARITABLE WORK
Miss Clara Barton in Red Cross
Work for Forty
Years.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 24.-Thoueh
few would judge it from her looks,
Miss Clara Barton, the famous Rcd
Cross nurse, will be eighty-iivs years
old tomorrow. After more than forty
years of devotion to charitable work,
which has carried her to all parts of
the world Miss Barton has retired to
quiet and peaceful life in a little
home in Glen Echo. suburb of
Washington, on the banks of the P)-
tonHac. In spite of her eighty-ive
years, she is active physically and
mentally, and while frail and small
in body, she shows but slightly the
effects of her long and strenuous life.
Few women of America have had
more interesting career than Miss
Barton. She was born Dec. 25, 1891.
at Oxford, Miss, and is the daughte:
of Capt. Stephen Barton, who fought
under Gen. Anthony Wayne. In her
early career Miss Barton was school
teacher. She founded a free school
at Bordentown, n. j., which, begin
ming with six pupils, quickly grew I'M
til it numbered nearly 600. This
work she gave up to accept a place in
the patent Office at Washington, which
she held until the outbreak of the
Civil War. Giving up her government
position Miss Barton advertised in the
papers of Worcester, Mass, that she
would receive stores and money for
wounded soldiers at the front, which
she would personally distribute. Her
appeal was literally answered, and
thus she began her great relief work.
She continued with the soldiers in
Virginia during nearly the entire
period OF the war, being head nurse
of the hospitals in the army of the
James. In 1869 Miss Barton went to
Europe and was abroad when the
F'ranco-Prussian war broke out She
lost no time in going to Strasburg and
beginning the work of nursing the
wounded soldiers. She proceeded
later to Paris and rendered assistance
in relieving the distress after the fall
of the Commune. In 1881 the Ameri-
can association of the Red Cross was
formed and Miss Barton chosen it's
first president, which position she oc-
cupied until the reorganization of the
society a year or two ago. Realizing
that she was no longer young enough
to direct the affairs of the society, she
yielded the management to other
hands.

VICTIM OF "PETARD"
Congressman Sherman Hit bv
Law He Helped
Enact.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Congress-
man Sherman of New York, is VIC
tim of the "petard." The cheerful
chairman of the republican congress
sional committee was the prime mover
in the matter of the enactment of the
law which prohibits the use of a label
on food products which is in any way
misleading as to the contents of the
package. 1t seems that the congress
man is large stockholder in a can
merry in Oneida county, New York.
His brother is the manager of the
factory and last summer, owing to
the shortage of the sweet corn crop
1t was found that the Sherman can
merry could not fill all the orders which
had been booked. In consequence the
manager brother made an arrange
ment with packing house in another
state to fill the order and agreed to
send on the necessary labels to place
on the cans. During the late con-
gressional campaign, Mr.. Sherman
spent most of his time in headquar-
tiers New York and one day he was
called up by telephone.
Hello Jim, is that you?" asked the
voice over the wire.
Yes" was the response, who are
you and what is it."
II am your brother up in Utica. is
there any other man in congress
named Sherman
No. replied the man in New York,
why do you ask"
well l have just received tele-
gram from those corn packers. I'll
read it to you" And then he read off
a dispatch as follows:

liant over the fact that there are six
conventions to be held there next
year. The annual conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church will he

sociation will also meet in Minot The
conventions of hardware dealers and
some smaller meetings are scheduled
for that city. The North Dakota
Editorial association will either meet
there or at Grand Forks next August,
according to what plans are made for
the annual trip of the association. II
a trip to Alaska or Canada is chosen
the meeting place will be at Minot,
but If trip east is chosen then the
convention will be at Grand Forks.

I'VE can't use those labels. Some
damn fool in congress named Sherman
secured the enactment Of Il law which
prohibits the use Of a label which in
dicates that the contents of the can
is New York corn when that corn is
packed in Maryland"
That is the reason why the custo-
mers of the Sherman cannery in uu-
ca are selling their customers canned
corn this winter with a label differing
from that heretofore used.

whole truth. Now that he finds him
self stranded in his ability to make
good his promises, he must, like the
good lawyer that he is. fall back on
the only possible excuse in sight. The
republican senate will confirm all the
appointments he makes. but he may
rest assured that they will not give
serious heed to the sophistires which
the democracy has sought for years
to have made into law, and which the
public has repeatedly repudiated.
Burke was not elected to make laws.
The legislature was. The people were

1t is evident that Governor Burke
is determined to create the sentiment
throughout the state, if it can possibly
be done, that he will fail in his ad-
ministration unless the republican
members of the legislature come to
his aid. That he did not mention this
fact when he was seeking an election
at the hands of republicans can be
accounted for only on the theory that
he was not giving the public the

Montgomery, March 0.-(Special.)-That misfortune and trouble have yet the power to attract sympathy and attention has been abundantly evidenced at the state house today by the interest taken In an application being presented to the governor and the board of pardons for the pardon of Sam W. Creek of Gadsden convicted last December in the city court of Gadsden of the crime of forgery and sentenced to the penitentiary for six years. The party coming to the city in his behalf consisted of lawyers, business men and state officers, along with his wife and sister, and they were the re- cipients of the silent good wishes and prayers of many who saw them and knew their errand The ladies especially were given every consideration and shown every attention.
 Most of those who came in behalf of MT Crook reached the city last evening and were at the capital early. Mrs. Crook and her sister-in-law, Miss Crook. Chancellor W. W. Whitesides of the Northeastern chancery division. and State Senator Fred l.. Blackmon of Anniston. drove to the state house ahead of the others and had preliminary conference with the governor and members of the pardon board.
