Pension Frauds.
"There are more tricks practiced in
"the procurement of pension than in the
whole of the other departments," said a
pension oflice examiner the other night.
"In what direction are these mostly
attempted?"
"The great bulk of them are colored
cases. Not that colored people are given
to fraudulent practices, but many of
them are easier victims to designing
lawyers, and it is less difficult to person
ate a dead negro than a dead white man.
As soon as a colored case comes before
the office it is subjected to an extra
amount of scrutiny. A large proportion
of the colored widows drawing pensions
have remarried, and quite a number of
the claimants and not tbe relicts of sol
diers at all, but mere dummies put up
by wicked lawyers, and others in place
of the widows wbo have long ago mar
ried and relinguished their claims."
VHow is this fraud managed?"
' "Easily enough. A decent time is
allowed to elapse after the marriage, and
tbe woman frightened in honeBt aban
donment of her claim. Then another
colored woman is obtained who makes
the necessary affidavit before a conven
ient notary who certifies to her identity
and the re&t is simple, straightforward
work, which is frequently put into the
bands of a decent lawyer to carry
through in all good faith. "Where
a woman is about to remarry
who is likely to formally renounce
her rights, a member of the gaog
will proffer his services to make the an
nouncement in due shape, so to leave her
free to contract the new relation in safe
ty. This is the prelude to the proceed
viDgs I have ppoken of. She receives a
" seam permit to marry from the pension
office, with perhaps a small extra pay
ment that has been promised her as a re
sult of having the thing done properly."
"Is the law which limits the attorney's
fee for services in procuring a pension to
$10 in each case ever evaded?"
"They get over that very easily. The
common way is to have the pensioner de
clare before witnesses that he wishes to
make his attorney a present of, say, 20
pe.r cent, in addition to the $10 allowed.
XUia prevents tui iiuuuie, a.uku. ugum,
many of the dishonest lawyers have
three, four and sometimes five so-called
firms. One will open correspondence
with a would-be pensioner, or one who
desires his allowance increased. After
obtaining half the fee iu advance for
necessary expenses a long delay ensues.
Then here comes a circular from another
member of the ring statin at that he has
special facilities for procuring the pas
sage of the claim, which is represented
to have been hopelessly shelved. In
case of a favorable response the
next circular in the series is sent to
him by the third conspirator, and bo on
until the list is exhausted, or the pen
sioner's patience gives out. As a matter
of fact there is no need for attorneys'
services to procure pensions. Every
fa3ility is offered by the office, and the
applicant has only to fill the blanks fur
nished him and tell the truth in his story
of reasons for asking the bounty. He
must get all this certified to in accord
ance with instructions, and then his case
will go through and be acted on just as
speedily as though he had hired a dozen
lawyers. Of course ignorant men some
times fail to comprehend the simplest in
structions, and much delay and trouble
is caused. Hence the employment of a
lawyer is rather favored by those who
have the cases to pass upon, as less labor
is involved as a rule in the cases pie
pared by professional hands."
" Does all this exhanst the possibilities
of fraud by attorneys ?"
"By no means. Men will go into a
small town and, after getting the signa
tures of a number of leading citizens,
leading the war records for that neigh
borhood. Among the latter are sure to
be found the names of men entitled to
pensions wtio have never applied for
them. Applications will be made out in
t lies a names, and the signatutes of the
necessary number of leading men of the
place forged to the certificate of service,
etc. Tbe rest of the process is easier
than with a genuine case."
"Are these men never caught and pun
ibed?" "They are, quite freqrently. But in
nocent frauds are sometimes even more
severely dealt with. Two cases I re
member. One was a preacher, a man of
irreproachable character, who hat! been
a chaplain in the army, but with little
knowledge of the world. In his first steps
to getting a pension he consulted with
former comrades and neighbors as to what
facts they would swear to for him. Then
he got tbe neceseary blanks and went
ahead. But he found that to get his
friends' signatures to their statements
would cause considerable delay. To ob
viate this he simply signed the names
himself and sent on the papers. The
similarity of writing was detected, and
the result was tbe states prison for two
or three years, though the men whose
names had been forged promptly ex
pressed their readiness to sign the pa
pers, while admitting that they had not
done so. - ..
"Another case haviin?brBame enuin'g
was that of a man who kept copies of
his papers, which were afterward lost in
the office. He waa requested to send
another set, and simply enough, sect bis
copies, the names of which were held to
be forgeries, aBd be was duly convicted
and imprisoned. So much for law and
J j nstice." Washington Post.

The Cattle Business.
A correspondent familiar with the
cattle business of Wyoming, writes the
Denver Tribune some interesting facts
about that great industry iu that territo
ry. He says:
Stock is looking remarkably well and
the beef cattle are very fat. Large ship
ments are being made daily from Lara
mie City, Cheyenne and Pine Bluffs to
Chicago to market. Some one makes
the prediction that when the western
country commences its shipment of beef
in the fall, Chicago will receive from
40,000 to 50,000 per week. The Leader
doubts this to some extent and says:
"They may and they may not. To start
with, 'cattle are bringing about the same
figure per hundred as they were at this
season last year. The Wyoming season,
short Jived as it is by a month as com
pared with last year, may not bring so
many cattle to Chicago as it did last
year. Then the high prices induced
stockmen to ship all marketable cattle.
There were cases where two-year-olds
went to market as their owners saw
'quick money' in their sales. As the
probability of realizing high prices in
duced large shipments from this range
the last year, the likelihood of low
prices may restrain 'stockmen from
throwing cattle in large numbers upon
the market the coming season. We have
been informed by an old stook raiser of
Sweetwater that but 75 per oent. of the
number snipped from that region in
18&2 will be sent in 1883. It waa almost
the general opinion last spring that this
year's shipment would not equal this
fall, and it is now an opinion held by
many that the coming shipment will fall
considerably below the last one.
The cattlemen evinced a strong deter
mination to sell out few cattle this fall if
the prices should be low. A well known
member of the stock association, in con
versation with the writer said: "We are
so situated at present that a drop in the
cattle market, when we commence our
heavy shipments, would have a very de
pressing influence upon business. For
tunately wo are so situated that we do
not have to sell any cattle unless wo so
desire. We will sell the beef steers, but
there will not be the desire to sell every
thing in the meat line, as there was last
year. Cows, calves and st ers were
shipped to market and brought a good
price. This at once encouraged a num
ber of capitalists to embark in the cattle
business. The eastern states were
cleaned out of cattle and brought west.
In fact, the tendency has been to overdo
the business of late and a reaction must
necessarily follow. I do not think, how
ever, that the market will be overrun
with beef cattle this fall to such an ex
tent as it will next next, and I am of the
opinion at that time, unless something
happens to make an increased demand
for beef, thai, the market will be corre
spondingly low, as compared to former
years. j
The stock business of Wyoming has
passed largely into the hands of English
companies, who own all the great herds.
They have invested in the business be
cause of the large profits, have organized
a stock association which governs every
thing connected with the business, and
helps protect their property. By close
examination of all cattle imported into
the territory, disease is kept out and the
best class of animals are raised. The
cattle business of Wyoming has become
so great that it effects this industry in
Utah, Idaho and Montana. That-almost
every man engaged in this stoc& raising
in these territories should become rich,
is the best evidence that cin be given,
that the cattle business in the west is one
of the most profitable.
Venerable London.
London is slowly awakening to see
that it is not only the biggest' and rich
est city in the world, but in many ways
the grandest and most historic. Borne
has her .ruins; Paris has her boulevards,
palaces and quays; Moscow has her
Kremlin; and Constantinople has her
minarets an I domes. Each of these, and
perhaps some famous cities in Italy or
Spain, arc superior to London in the sin
gle element of beauty, of magnificence,
or age. But the greatness of London
lies in its historic continuity, in the sur
vival of its true organic centuries in all
their essential character.' It possesses
in the Abbey, in Westminster Hall, and
in the Tower three of the noblest build
ings in the world ; all of them have an
Unbroken history of eight centuries; and
are still devoted to the uses for which
they were designed ; and for 800 years
they have all been the local seats of our
national existence. These three great
monuments are bound up with each
other as well as bound up with the his
tory of England. As cathedral, hall and
castle, no one ot them has any superior
in Europe. But, in the way that they
are inwoven with the greatness, the gen
ius, the poetry, the destinies of the
country, as also of length and continuity
of service, no one of them has its equal
in Europe. The city which possesses all
three at once has a dignity of her own;
nor need we think of St. Paul's
and the Temple, the Guildhall
and the palace of Westminster, the
parks, the bridges, and the docks to be
lieve that we are truly citizens of no
mean c.ty. Neither mud nor smoke, nor
stucco neither vestries nor railways,
can make London mean. For in the
mass, in the antiquity, in the historic
splendor of her national monuments, in
the halo which the heroism, the crimes,
and the imagination of eight centuries
have sbed over them, London remains to
the thoughtful spirit the most venerable
city of the modern world. London

A Coke-Burning Locomotive.
Several experienced western mechan
ical engineers visited this city last week
to inspect the nw locomotive of ; the
Philadelphia and Beading railroad. One
of these engines was prominently
brought into notice by its performance
on the Chicago, Burlington and Qnincy
railroad during the Chicago exposition,
and afterward on the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad. Particular interest attaches to
tbe capability of the locomotive to use
coke for fuel, as that combustible, being
entirely free from smoke, will not only
at once relieve 'the western companies
from the penalties for infractions of the
laws for the prevention of the smoke
nuisance, but will secure greater com
fort and pleasure to the traveling pub
lic. The tests of the locomotive demon-

fuel, wV&.'sat any further attention on
the part of the fireman than merely feed
ing the furnace, and that meanwhile no
clinker or other obstruction to the draft
occurred during the trials, which were
ot a most exacting nature. The I coke
used was the product of the Connels
ville Coke and Iron company.and its cal
orific efficiency was found- to be in ex
cess of seven pounds of water evaporated
for each pound of coke consumed. At
the request of the visiting experts
further evaporative teets of the name
kind of fuel are to be made in one of
these locomotives. Philadelphia Rec
ord. Keeper of Madam'- Secrets.
; The lady's maid with the white cap is
more common than the valet. All of the
more prominent actresses have maids,
and nearly all leading society ladies
have them, also. One of the most no
ticeable results of foreign travel is the
acquisition of the lady's maid. These
maids are often maids-of-all work and
occupy the dual capacity of maid and
companion or confidante. A well-known
actress gives all her letters to her maid
to answer; indeed, except to legal docu
ments, she seldom takes pen in hand, as
her edncation was neglected in early life
and she is not skilled either in chirogra
phy, syntax or etymology.
There is a great difference in ladies'
maids, according to their nationality.
The foreign ladies' maids, French, Swiss
or English, seem subservient or deferen
tial, and, it may be added, sycophantic.
The colored maids are the most affec
tionate and reliable. The maids selected
from poor families are tbe mest intelli
gent, and at the same time most inde
pendent. The French and Swiss maids
generally succeed in eliciting the con
fidence of their mistresses and occupy
the position of a confidante, though
mercenary, and it is dangerous to trust
them with valuable secrets.
The position of governess or compa
nion must not be confounded with that
of ladies' maids, though they are in the
families of the parvenu, and at the
hotels, where a companion can ride in
the elevator, the maid not being permit
ted therein, but compelled to walk up
and down stairs the same as the other
servants. The governess and companion
are generally ladies of ..position in re
duced circumstances, who are every way
fit associates of those who employ them,
and ofteu much superior in every re
spect to them, excepting social positions
and resources. The governess or com
panion is permitted to dress to suit her
taste, while the lady's maid is compelled
to wear the white linen cap and the plain
garb of tho household subordinate.
Ladies' maids are generally young
women, past 25, or elderly women, child
less widows of deceased barbers or wait
ers or grooms. Their functions are
identical in regard to the ladies who em
ploy them as those of the valet toward
the master, only more confidential and
more social, as the .two former are
brought more together and more inti
mate than the latter, and consequently
intercourse is more familiar. Ladies'
maids have muoh leisure, and going
about with their mistresses have a much
pleasanter time than the other servants,
whc have only their hebdomadel "day
off" for personal enjoyment.
The remuneration of the lady's maid
depends on circumstances and disposi
tion of the employer. Some are gener
ous and clothe the maid well, while
others are close fisted and consider the
position so attractive that small wages
should satisfy. The lady's maid must
be more rigorous and decorous in her
life than any other of the servants. She
is exposed to less temptation, and it is
seldom one hears of a lady's . maid in
volved in scandal. Home Journal.
Aa Engagement that was "ot Kept.
A burly officer dragged into the Jeffer
son Market police court yesterday after
noon a tall, thin, nervous looking man,
around whose neck was wrapped a florid
woolen scarf. 1 he officer said the man
had been wandering about tne streets in
an imles way, and as his action indi
cated insanity he had arrested him.
"Where do you live?" asked Justtce
Patterson. ,
"H !" said the prisoner, as his eyes
snapped savagely.
"When are you going home?"
"I expected the devil to meet me at
one o'clock. I am surprised not to see
him here," and the prisoner looked
searchingly at the officer, as though he
suspected him of interfering with the en
gagements of his Satanic Majesty.
"Suppose the devil don't come?" in
quired the justice.
'In that case I hope your Honor will
furnish me with a guide, because I am
desirous of reaching home before night
falls."
"I'll do it," said the justice. "Go with
the officer."
"Do you know the wy?" the latter
was asked by the prisoner.
"I should smile," was the sententious
answer as the officer seized the man by
the neck and Jerked him into prison.

Electric Light iu Arizona Mines.
A number of mining companies in
Arizona territory are about to adopt the
eleotric light to facilitate operations
underground, as well as on the surface,
notably the Silver King mining com
pany, the Hdwell smelting and mining
company and tbe Conger mill and min
ing company. At the Silver King mine
it is proponed to use four 8000-eandle-power
Brush lights above ground and
two below, together with twenty-five
small incandescent lamps. The dynamo
located near the main shaft will supply
the current' descending 80'J feet to the
lower levels of the mine to the arc lights
and storage boxes, from which latter the
Swan lamps aro to be oonnected by small
copper wires. Fixed lamps are to be
suspended from the roofs of galleries
and the portable lights are to be attached
to flexible conductors for convenience of
shifting. These lights are to burn con
tinuously, night and day. Tn the reduc
tion works of this company both large
and small lights are also to be used, a
separate dynamo and two storage bat
teries supplying the current. The aro
light circuit in the Silver King mine
will be about half a mile in length. Ari

Dust, Dusters and Wipe.
Do not dust, but wipe.
Who would believe it? The duster
that peaceful emblem of domestic toil
may,- under certain circumstances, be
come more dangerous to handle than a
six-shooter.
We are in dead earnest. An eminent
scientist declares it to be a fact.
Do you know just what you are doing
When you brush away dnst? You dis
seminate the air, and, consequently
introduce into your own interior, into
your tissues and respiratory organs, all
sort of eggs, spores, epidemic germs
and murderous vibion which dust con
tains. One movement with a feather duster
may be enough to poison both you and
your neighbor to inoculate you all with
typus, varioloid or cholera strange aa it
may appear.
Instead of a feather' duster take a cloth
and wipe away the dust instead of stir
ring it up. In short, wipe never dnst!

Pretty mats for ornaments on a marble
mantel are made of scrim or of linen

narrow, and be trimmed with lace across
the bottom, and have some pretty design
in Kensington embroidery on them. The
more effective and striking the design,
the better form it is in. Stand a vase or

other hang over the mantel.
"How much sugar do I need for a
quart can of strawberries or of cherries?"
is a frequent question just now. The
best cooks agree upon these quantities
for a quart can of fruit : For straw
berries, eight ounces; for cherries, six
ounces; for raspberries, four ounces; for
plums, eight; for currents, when ripe",
eight ounces. These fruits all require
good, thorough boiling to prevent fer
mentation. If economy is to be seriously con
sidered when the baby is to be put in
short clothes, the best dresses a mother
can purchase aro the long, ready-made
dresses. Cut them in two pieces, make
a yoke and sleeves for the lower part,
and put a Muffle or some narrow edge on
the bottom of the other piece, which has
the ready-made yoke and sleeves. In
this way she will have two pretty dresses
at much less cost than if two short ones
were purchased.
The beet sugar business in Delaware
is a disastrous failure, and the company
with $120,000 capital, organized to carry
it on, has gone the way of all earthly

trouble was in the beets that they did
not have sugar enough in them; but
some think that tbe mischief was done
by inexperience and bad management.
