Transfer of Invitation Cards.

There are several senators and
members of the house who under
stand the value of invitations to the
white house receptions held every
winter when those invitations are dis
tributed among their constituency.
These little tickets that admit the
holder to the dress parade in the
east room, where Washington's So

body who is anybody can be found,

For Service Pensions. Thus
Preventing Proposed
Force Reduction.
HOW CONGRESSMEN FAVOR
THEIR CONSTITUENCY
Horses and Dogs Are Slaughtered
For Food In Germany Where
Meat Is Scarce.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 1S.-The
service pension bill, which recently
passed both houses of congress and
was approved by the president Febru-
airy 6, will entail a vast amount of
additional work in the office of the
commissioner of pensions. Already
it is apparent that old soldiers will
not be backward in taking advan-
tage of a law that gives them a pen
sion merely upon proof of honorable
discharge, ninety days of service and
age. The day following the approval
of the act and before official notice
of the fact that the law was in opera
ton had reached the commissioner
of pensions, fifty applications for PEN
sions under the new law were re-
ceived. The next day these applica-
tions were trebled and the third day
almost four hundred applications
from various states in the union were
filed. Since then these applications
have come in at the rate of between
1000 and 5000 a day.
The new law has demonstrated the
fact that there cannot be any fur
ther diminution of the force of the
pension office, as the commissioner
hdu cAptCttu anu loiu Soi-
gress in his last annual report. 1t
will not be such an easy matter,
apparently, for the old soldiers to
prove a stumbling block to many.
Unless one stops to think of it, it
never occurs how difficult 1t is to
prove ones age. With the family
and church records existing II might
be comparatively easy but in all cases
such records are not available. Then,
too, for various reasons, in the cases
of old soldiers there are very fire.
quently discrepancies in the age CIV
en- at the time of enlistment and at
discharge. Owing to the desire OF
many men to enlist at the outbreak
OF the war they represented them
selves as older than they were; their
correct ages were given when they
were discharged and this has caused
endless confusion. When a matter
of a year or a few months means
the difference in this service pension
of $5 a month, these discrepancies
will prove very material to the appli-
cant. At all events, the soldier must
prove his age absolutely and this is
going to be a difficult matter for
some of the veterans these long years
after their service and their discharge
At the present rate of application, II
Is believed that practically every
survivor of the Union army will
eventually get on the pension roll.

PRIZE FIGHTS FOR HOT SPRINGS
Manager Mckee Will Make Offers for
Some Big Battles.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-J. B. Mckee, the
Hot Springs boxing promoter, who ar
rived in Chicago last night to clinch
the Tommy Ryan-Dave Barry bout,
will leave for the Springs tonight to
attend to all the details of his new
club. Mckee said:
IF the race meeting is not called off
I am sure this will be the best season
for sport the Springs ever had. After
two or three bigger events. If Joe
Cans will take on Tommy Ryan at 154
pounds ringside, which Tommy ar1-
nounceS he is willing to make, 1 will
hang up a guaranty OF. So. 000sz With q
percentage privilege, for the bout. I
will also make a liberal offer for Ben
ny Yanger against Herman, and if
Herman refuses the offer the same to
go to Young Corbett against Yanger.
I will also make an effort to at least
weed out the heavyweight brigade and
matches to John Willie and Mike
Schreck to box Marvin Hart. Hart is
a good card at the Springs and anyone
who beats him there will likewise
prove a strong attraction.
perhaps $1,000 don't appeal to
fighters nowadays with all the five
figure propositions from out west fly
ing through the air. But my offers are
much nearer home and instead of
fight to a finish I ask them only to
box twenty rounds. Ryan and Cans
would be a good attraction and Yam
ger is also we'll liked down there, as
is Herman, who started his winning ca
reer there when he defeated Dave Sui
livan."
Dave Barry and Benny Yanger will
leave for Hot Springs this week.

GAMESAT GLASCO
Two Good Contests of Basket
Ball With Chicago.
The Home Five Had a Severe
Case Of Stage Fright.
FINALLY LINED UP.
Some Pretty Rough Work Dur
ing the Battles.
The Men From Illinois Had Far
More Practice.

Glasco, Kan, jan 25.-Monday
night, January 21, before an enthusi-
astic audience of 400 loyal supporters
the Chicago Crescent and the Glasco
athletic team played one of the fastest
and hardest fought games of basket
ball ever witnessed in the west. 1t
was good clean, aggressive game all
the way through and from the time the
bail was thrown up in center by How
ard Gray. acting as official for Glasco,
there was barely pause until the
pistol was fired at the end of the first
half
In the first ten minutes of play, by
hard and fast work. the Glasco team
managed to score Z points to the
CreScentS 5. but the fast and furious
playing soon told on the lesser trained
team, and a person in watching the
contest would judge from the way the
Crescents played that it would make
little difference whether the half of a
game was 20 minutes or that many
hours. Their play went on just the
same.
AS soon as the hard playing began
to tell on the Glasco team, Orr and
Young, playing at forwards, began to
center could almost place the ball
where it could be handled to the best
advantage by the Chicago players, and
basket after basket began to change
the score stood % to IL in favor Of
Chicago.
At the beginning of the second half
Haynes changed from forward to CEN
ter in L. F. Davidson's place, and
Klein took Haynes place as forward.
Here the extreme growth of Haynes
showed to good advantage as it made
little difference whether the ball was
thrown entirely to the ceiling or only
a short distance up, he got it just the
same. and this made considerable diff
ference in Glasco's playing in the last
half, as by this with the extremely
hard playing and effective passing
which the Glasco team did in the last
half of the game, they were enabled
to hold the score down better in last
half than in the first. The Glasco
team showed a lack of team work
which is easily accounted for from the
fact that they had only once chance
TO practice together before taking on
the famous team from Chicago; and
OF course they were as we'll aware that
they would be slack in team work as

heart that inherent feeling for the
whiltefolks which is near to reverence.
For long time the reporter would pass
the old man with a smile, lately
though they have become good friends
and there is never morning that they
do not exchange good morning greet
ing. He will always take off his bat
tered-up cap and raise it as high above

about the weather. No matter how

when there was just little snow, the
reporter passed him on a walk from

A very narrow path had been trampled
down, SO there was not room for two.
Just as the old negro came abreast
with the reporter the old man stepped
away out into the snow and said: It's

history, figuring out that he had
fought in the war and other romantic
stories.

City is the plaintiff and w. H. Barrett,

trial The suit is an interesting one
from the peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the case.
Dessy is a Frenchman and was in
jured about two years ago by a fall OF
rock in one of the Barrett mines at
Stone City, One of his legs was brok-
en- and serious injuries were received
about his body and face. Suit was
commenced about a year ago and the
case has been continued several times
in court. He is suing for $1,000
damages.
The plaintiff was the first witness in
his own behalf and was on the stand
until noon. He is unable to talk En-
glish and an interpreter was used. He
described the condition of the mine at
the time and the nature of his in
juries. The defense claims that he
was aware of the condition of the roof
at the time it was his own carelessness

corner. He was all in. Kaufman

Bob left for Essington. Then Al drove
out with a friend of his. got his stuff
and drove away again. He knows Fitz
can put him out. Kaufman would
never fight Fitz."
