PENSION FOR MRS. SCHLEY.
Senate Votes $3.50 a Month to Hero of
Santiago's Widow.

Mrs. Annie r. Srhiey, widow OF Rear
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, wi1l re-
ceive a pension of $3.50 a month if the
house cOncurs in a bill passed by the
senate. The committee on pensions
opposed the naming of such large
amount, but was finally overruled
The bill passed was introduced by
Senator Rayner, who served az chief
counsel for Admiral Schley before the
court of inquiry that passed on his ac
tion at the battle of Santiago. He
made an eloquent plea for the dead
naval hero. II developed during the
discussion that Mrs. Schley has an in
come Of but $50 a year in addition
to the pension Of $12 per month al
lowed under existing laws.
A brief but rousing speech was made
by Senator Rayner, who asserted that
Admiral Schley was in command Of
the American naval forces at Santiago
and entitled to all the credit for the
destruction Of the Spanish fleet.

International Perpetual Calendar.

The Scientific American says: An
international conference upon the
subject of an international perpet-
ual calendar will meet at Geneva,
Switzerland, this summer. OF the
many suggestions that will be dis
cussed one will be that of Leroy S.
Boyd. His perpetual calendar has
thirteen months of 2S days each.
which makes a total of 364 days.
The extra or 365th day of the year
is not counted in any month, but
precedes the first day of January as
New Years Day. In leap year the
366th day is not counted in any
month. but follows the last day OF
December as leap year day. The ad-
ditional month Is named Solaris,
and comes between June and July.
The year 1916 Is taken as an illus
tration as, according to the present
calendar, that year will begin on
Saturday, which would become New
Year Day, 1916, under the perpet-
ual calendar. The following day.
Sunday, would become January /,
1916. In the perpetual calendar
each month has the same number of
days; every month and every week
begins on Sunday and ends on Sat-
urday. The same date in each
month falls on the same day of the
week. A printed calendar for each
month will be unnecessary. as the
days of each month are identical
with those of the first month. The
calendar is good for all time to
come and like Bill Nye's Railroad
Guide, will be just as good two
years ago as it was next spring" 1t
will facilitate business calculations.
A month will mean 2S and not 80
or 81 days. Wages by the week,
fortnight and month are readily ad-
Unstable without even referring to
the calendar which is easily com
mitted to memory.

graph operator, railroad agent, banker,
mine owner and rancher were the suc-

studied teiegraphy. After four years
he took a position with the Csrson and
Colorado rNilroad for yeur, afte1
which the president of the FIRST Ma
uonal bank of Reno, a p'rsonsl friend,
offered him position in the bank.
He held this place for two years and
then helped to organize the First Ma
tional bank of WlnnemucCa, of which
he was cashier and manager until 1901,
when he was elected president. He
quickly identified himself with land re
claiming and ranching companies and
also with the mining interests OF Cold
field, Tonopah and other camps. He
was a member OF the Nevada state
legislature in 1891 and quickly forced
his way TO the front a. 4 political lead

$2,500,000 For Each Ticket.

The total cost of naming the men for
president and vice president will be
something like $2,5O0,0OO for each tick
ct. This estimate includes the rail
road fares and hotel bills of the tens
Of thousands of delegates who attend
the county conventions. Then there
are the state conventions, and finally
the great national convention, with
more than 1000 delegates and half as
many alternates.
The national conventions have no
standing under the laws of the United
States. They are not recognized or
their doings made valid by the stat
Ttes, but they serve the purpose for
which they are intended-namely, the
selection of candidates by the great
political parties, and it is undeniable
that they are most interesting from
purely spectacular point of view.
After the nomination comes the cleo
ton, the total cost of which Is some
thing like S25,0OO,0 O,0O0-this being the
approximate expenditure for choosing
a president of the United States. In
1896 Mark Hanna spent nearly $4,000
900 to elect Mckinley.
1t is well within the mark to suppose
that the two national committees, Re
publican and Democratic, will together
spend S6,OOO,OOO during the approach
ing campaign. Each of them will send
out at least 5000 speakers whose sala-
ries will run from $25 to $3.50 a week,
with an extra allowance of IS a day
for expenses.
But for every stump speaker en-
plOyed by the national committee the
state committees will have ten. The
rent of buildings in which the cam.
paign meetings are held will amount
to a tidy sum and then there is the
item Of printing, which will be not
less than half q million dollars for
the Democrats, and as much for the
Republicans. Each national commit
tee will send out at least 10O,000,00O
doCuments-largely speeches made or
alleged to have been delivered in con
gress, and as such franked through
the mail. The balance of such litera-
ture will go by express to the chairmen
OF the various state committees for
distribution.
