Bishop Moore of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church was the guest of the

day. at noon, as Governor Frear was

the club at table and introduced BIZ
shop Moore. He said that he regretted
that there were not more of the mem
bers of the club present but he pre-
sEmed that the fact that it was
mail day accounted for many absences.
Apropos of this, Bishop Moore in be-
ginning his address, said he supposed
he. was to infer from the remark of
the chairman that if this were female

1t appears to be the conccnsus Of
opin ion OF the leaders that too much
agitation for pension bills and relief
measure might soon create an undiE-
nifed impression in Congress and re-
fleet discredit on Civil War veterans
at the time In their lives when they
would need the most assistance from
the nation.
Another way will be sought by the vet
Grams to get before Congress those bits
OF unfinished legislation which they feel
cannot wait.
After the installation OF the newly

reached In 1904. when for a brief period
there we're moro than 1000, ooO persons on
the roll. The spectacle of this enormous
number of persons drawing monthly
checks from the government frightened
the republican leaders for n WHILE. So
long as the army was kept within six
figures It was found comparatively easy
TO defend the liberal pension policy. No
mention will be found in the report OF
the commissioner of pensions Of the
fact that ono time more than 1000, 600
pensioners were on the roll The fig
ures are given for fiscal years only and
the high water mark was touched in

Serious discrepancies exist this year
between the governments crop expec-
fancy and the figures arrived at By the
banks correspondents in the grain
States and those reached by the most
authoritative private investigators. The
report says:
Tho government figures for August
indicated a total W heat yield of nearly
6I2,000, 900 bushels. against about 63i-
0OO, 900 bushels last year. our own
percentages, using the governments
figure for acreage. indicate a total crop
of 6S4 900 900 bushels. Good opinion
In the trade Is that the bureau figures
ignore loss by floods in Indiana, Texas.
Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.

concluding that the 1908 crop of NOR
charitable wheat will scarcely equal

the low worlds stocks and tho de-
plated reserves in retail hands every

port demand, It seems reasonable 20

suggests a crop Of 2623, 90, 900 bushels,

body to remain over night at the
North station.
HAD TICKET FOR LIVERPOOL.
Early to-day he engaged Hackman
Collins to take the trunk to the South
station where Jordan intended to boa rd
a New York train. He changed his
mind, however, and, purchasing a
ticket on the Cunard steamer 1vernia
which was to sail tomorrow FOR Liv-
erpool, again called the same hack
man and had him take the trunk TO
the Hancock street house. Arriving
there Jordan sat on the trunk smok-
Ing cigarette and talked with the
landlady.

of the body, weight them with the win
dow irons and threw them into the
