the controller of the treasury today. Richard Miller, who was born slave in Madison county. Alabama. enlisted in the 14th colored infantry. serving throughout the war. In 1866, while i'll in hospital in Huntsville Ala, his discharge was stolen from him by one Lucinda Lewis, who two years after turned up in Memphis and through the false affidavits of two friends and Mil ler's discharge secured SIP by claim ing to be the widow of Miller
 Eighteen years later Miller proved a lively corpse in Logan county, Arkan sas. and was granted q pension. In 1896 Lucinda living in St. Louis, ap piled for q pension. which was rejected on the ground that Miller was living. Miller only learned last year that his services in the civil war entitled him to an extra SIP in addition to his pen sion and upon application found him. self legally dead. An investigation made by the pension bureau brought out all the facts, but the controller holds that under the law all that he can allow Miller is SIP.
 The place of residence of Lucinda has suddenly become unknown to the agents of the pension bureau and the controller has ordered the firm of Gil- bert. Movers & Dedrick of Memphis. if it is still in existence. to refund the sum of s14 paid them in 1872 for get ting through Lucinda's claim.

EXPERIMENTS ARE
 BEING WATCHED
TREATMENT OF PINE FENCE POSTS BY THE FOREST SERVICE IS EXPECTED TO BE OF GREAT VALUE TO THE SOUTH.

Washington, October S--tSpecial)-fh experiment in the treatment of loblolly pine fence posts, which the forest ser vice conducted at Maplesyile in CO., operation with J. A. Wilkinson, state commissioner of agriculture and indus tries have just been completed.
 Arrangements have been made for set ting the posts in an experimental line. so that an exact record of their durability can be obtained. TO each post will be at tached d zinc tag, stamped with certain number, which will serve to identify 1t in the records kept by the forest service. Inspections of the experimental line will be made from time to time, so that the comparative durability afforded by the different methods of treatment can be ac- curately determined.
 During the course of tho investigation experiments were also made with the treatment of sap pine shingles In some cases colorlns matter was added to the oreosote. The process therefore, not only increased the durability of the shingles but gave them a lasting stain. As the coloring material is actually injected into the wood, and not merely applied like paint to the surface, 1t may be reason- ably expected that the color will be re- tained for a long term of years.

 handsome brick building will be erect ed on the corner of Third avenue and Twentieth street by Hollingsworth X For ter. The contract for the construction of the building has been awarded to Fred Jay, and the work will begin in the near future.
 Quite commotion was caused at the corner of Nineteenth street and Third avenue last evening just before the pro- hibition and antiprohibition meetings were held. A horse attached to light buggy evidently decided to join the bug house gang, but he seems not to have been able to tell just what side he want ed to be on and for that reason he sim ply started out on mad run. gentle man in the crowd that claims to have hunted wild animals in every country In the world had nerve enough to start out after him. and only for his cleverness In catching on and swinging on the horse would no doubt have injured someone, as he certainly started of. as If he meant business.

Centreville, October S.-(Special) )-The non-jury term of the county court of Bibb county for the Blocton division was in session at Blocton yesterday. There were quite a number of cases on the docket for trial, but Judge w. l.. Pratt, with his usual facility for dispatching business, soon completed the call.

5essemer Is Planning To Show Press Club Visitors a Good Time. Personal and General News
 of Bcssemer.

Bessemer October S-(speclal. )-The Board of Education held it's regular monthly meeting this evening at clock a the city hall. Those present were ,Dr T. r. Robinson. chairman, and Messrs Rush, Lewis and McNel. Those absent were Messfs. McTylere, Downing and Goodwin.
 Tho minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved, and the report Of Superintendent Dill for the month was read and received IS information mo- ton was made and carried that Friday, October ii, should be declared a holiday in order to give each and every one of the children in the schools chance to attend the State fair, which is now in progress.
 A petition to the board was read from the Woman's Christian Temperance union asking the board 10 declare the schools closed on October 2s. so that the children might be allowed to go out and help in the prohibition work. The peti- tion WAS granted and the schools will be closed on that day.
 A number of important subjects came up for discussion. among them being the attendance at school of children who do not reside within the school limits. 1t appears that last year there were a good many children that attended school aad lived outside of the limits, and for which the city was never reimbursed.
 Professor Dill stated before the board that this was. in his opinion. a most im- portant matter, and one that should be watched closely from the fact that if one child was allowed to reside outside ofothe school limits and attend without paying, 1t would mean the establishment of a bad precedent, as there would always be children coming forward 10 make the claim that another child had been allowed to live outside of the limits and not pay.
 Superintendent Dill was authorized to purchase six music charts at cost of S360 each.

The June reunion of the Confederate veterans in Richmond brought a number on to Washington to see the sights of the capital city. One company In uni- form received marked attention as they went through the various government buildings, especially in the Treasury. where the officers were taken by genial watchman, J. C. Hae-himself a soldier from the south, although on the other side--and introduced to dignitaries of the department. As the company was leaving one old soldier was seized with the desire to have five-dollar gold piece changed and wanted 1t changed nowhere but in the Treasury. It was after hours. the privilege was denied him, there upon the watchman offered to make the change. He gave the man five one-dollar bills and sent him on his way rejoicing. Later he turned the gold In and asked for change, to receive the message with his change: Hale your coin is four cents short" -Four cents short" repeated the watchman; -four cents short, and they waited forty years to get even with me-" And in mock grief he pocketed his $4.96 and drew long face over the perfidy of man.

There recently died in Washington man who had "cussed out more printers than any other man who ever held office under the government. That man had only a surname and two letters for the rest of it. He wrote it W. J. Knees. If anyone put a period after that w or I, Professor Knees would almost throw a fit His family called him w ] and noth- ing else These two letters did not stand for anything but themselves. And he held that when a period or any sort of a mark went after either of them it killed the individuality of his name And more. often than not the period went after them at the hands of printers and his corre- spondents who did not understand.
 Professor Knees was for years con nected with the Smithsonian Institution. When he died the Washington papers managed to print his name right, but it is d hundred to one shot that nearly every other paper in the country got it wrong.

And so with his son. The second General Grant has grown tired of seeing men who ought to be graceful horsemen looking like bags of wool with string tied around them in the saddle. And so he recommended that army officers be required to learn over again the lessons of horseback rid ing and forget some of the veranda rock ing chair lessons Hence the order.
