One of the Baby Frlxe Fighter Gets Two Tear Another Wreck en the I high Taney Important Pension Rulings nrwIOTTniirhrrn Tntrnitnrrna fUtmr mil Important Pension Rulings Assistant Secretary of the Interior Reynolds has made four important pension rulings. He decided that the wit of Congress prohibiting' payment ol S ension after July, 1893, to a non-resi-ent of the United States, except for actual service disabilities, applies to widows who are non-resident aliens; that where a soldier dius leaving a legally divorced wife and minor children over sixteen years old, his mother occupies a pensionable status and can apply for and receive a pension as dependant mother of such soldier upon making necessary proof, and that where an invalid pensioner dies leaving no increase or reratitg claim pending at the bureau, but has accepted the rate of pension then received without demurring, the widow cannot file an original c aim for renting of her dead husband's pension. A Mew Silver B1IL There was but one matter of national importance in Friday's session of the Senate. That was the introduction by Mr.Voorhees (Chairman of the Finance committee) of a bill providing for the coinage of the seignorage, or profit, from the silver coined and purchased under the Bland and Sherman acts, at the rate of two millions a month; tile purchase (after that coinage is completed) of 82,000,000 worth of silver bullion a month: the withdrawal of all notes of less denomination than $i0; the withdrawal of the $2.50 and &5 gold coin, and the appointment of five commissioners to attend an international conference for the establishment of a ratio between gold and silver. The bill was referred to the Committee on Finance. Iadteaa Shaken Dp. Evansville, Ind., and vicinity was considerably shaken up the othe r day by two earthquakes. The shocks were very distinct from West to East. Persons in the upper stories of buildings were more sensible to the tremors than those on the lower floors, and a great many were badly frightened. The tremors were accompanied by a rumbling, grating sound much like that produced by a heavy wagon passing over the streets. At the coart house the audience and attorneys rushed out in the corridor. Telephone information from neighboring points is to the effect that both sboeWere plainly felt. - serjBtarjr Foster. X Fostoria, OhJfts special: Ex-Secc-Cwy Foster is making every eff-t to satisfactorily settle all claim? against him, provided it can be done by a paytime, with the possibility of additional payments in the future. He says that if he can satisfactorily dispose of $150,000 of indorsements by Foster & Co., the greatest obstacle to a settlement of the other liabilities ot the firm will have been removed and the rest will be comparatively plain sailing. Mr. Foster is in New York, having gone there with the express intention of securing financial aid. Fierce dames. The Arcade block, on Main street, Buffalo N. Y., caught fire and in a few moments the ' Yerxas" block, next door, caught and both were soon a mass of flames. The spread of the Sre was stopped at the "Yerxas'' block by a fire wall next door. Both the Arcade and the "Yerx&s" blocks were entirely destroyed and it was only by the extraordinary efforts of the firemen that other buildings were not damaged. There were a number of narrow escapes of persons in the burning buildings, but all were rescued. Another Wreck on the Lehigh Vall.iy. A disastrous wreck occurred on the Lenigh Valley Railroad at the yards above the Hauch Chunk Station. A long freight train, running at a high rate of speed, crashed into an engine and caboose that were standing on the track and forced them into a preceding freight train, which was also stationary. Two locomotives, two cabooses, and three freight cars were completely demolished. No one was injured save two brakemen, who received slight cuts and bruises from flying timbers and glass. Two Tears for Prixe-Flghting.

On the Great Northern Railroad at Edwall. Wash., a terrible bead-end collision took place. Engineer Joseph trbllsky and Fireman Joe Wallaco of tho vest-bound train were killed and Engineer Ilepeiv fa- ! tally hurt Surviving crews of the wrack made frantic efforts to liberate tbo imprisoned men before flames reached them. Engineer Dewey was rescued from tho fiery furnace, but Shilsky and Wallaco wore horned to death before the eyes of tbolr horrified comrades. Rescued All on Board.

Matthews' Determined Stand Forces a Postponement. Once again the Governor o? Indiana has foiled un attempt of the Moby Athletic Club to hold the. much postponed prize fight. Tho Governor's emissaries at Roby havo kept: him In touch with every move on the part of the Iioby officials Tho Third Hcgiinent of tlio i'talo militia was held in readiness nnd us all efforts to Induce the Governor to relax failed postponement was the only thing that could bo done No Business Improvement. K. G. Hun & Co. 's Weekly lie. view of Trade says: Trade of all kind is waiting. There is no visible improvement, una on tho whole indications are a llit'.o less satisfactory than they were a v.eok ago. The volume of business measured by clearing-house returns outslile New York slow a decrease of only 12 percent compared with last year, which is encouraging; but as the statement covers the payments for thu first of tbo month. It may uot correctly measure the volame of new transactions. '1 he reports from the o'ber cities show a hesitating trade almost every where, with a decided disposition to wait, until Congress has acted on tho tariff question. Ilence the delay and uncertainty are likely to last for some weeks. ltubbery in the Chicago 1'ostonive. A. S.

Tho burglary was committed with a watchman twenty feet away, tho corridors full of pcoplo and the streets packol with worklntrmen going homo. It was planned with supreme coolness, executed with professional dcliberateness. and so successful in tbe uniount of money secured that tbo footpad will probably live In retirement for evermore.

N( K upon a time, In a country far away. It uas mad by law a crime To carouse on Christinus day. Tbo king who was in power Was all a tyrant should be Like the t.ar, this very hour. Or the Kaiser, If ho could bo.' fo ho spread his edict wido, Aud with penalties most awful Ho doclarod that C'hrlstmustide From that moment was unlawful, And tbat woman, child or man Who to making clfts was wedded, And presumed to break the ban Should bo Instantly beheaded. Then tho people all Rrow still In each city, town and vitiate. From tbe merchant at his till To the furmor at his tlllacc; And the hearts of all waxed bard. (Like tho fraRmeutary suet you'd With pastry mingle), marred With innocuous desuetude. Not a mincemeat pie was made; All plum-puddings were forbidden; By live turkeys, unufruld. Every farm was overridden. Not a butcher iu the land Could be bribed bis trade to quicken (So much feared was the command), With a Philadelphia chicken! Every blcss-ed toy was crushoJ; Every talking doll was strangled; Every squeaking pig was hushed: All tin crocodiles were mangled; And the lively Noah's nrks. Where the cattle all are spotted. Were snapped up by royal sharks And to cruel flames allotted Not one leaf of evergreen. Not one trace of crimson berr Was in any corner seen; For 'twas treason to be merry! And one very sweet old dear Superannuated fossil Was imprisoned for u year Just because ho asked for wassail! Every theater was closed. Though the managers were active. And, as tuhrht havo boon supposed. Got up programs most attractive. But the liespot. with frown On his narrow visual orbit Ills imperial foot putdowu When the pcoplo shrieked for Corbet t! Wretched convicts in their cell Were denied their Christmas dinners: For tho monarch, with a yeli. Voted viands bad for sinners. No poor children (so he said). Mattered not whoso girls or whose boys, Should bo delicately fel. No not even little newsboys. But the worst has not appeared; I'pon Christmas Eve, by jlmminy! An old man. with buow-white beard, Was-discovered down a cblmney. Thoush his hair was stiff with frost. Vet his eyes wore soft and kludly. As if at any cost He'd resolve to 'so It" blludly. Tbey took him into court, A policeman ou e:ich side of blm. Who looked ;is If, in short, . bey bad tried to have the bide of htm. Ills arms huu by Ms side. Where tltey clubbed him, lu their dudgeon.

The prisoner, all astir. Replied, "My name's Kris Krtngle." The Justice heaved a sigh, And murmured ''Poor old chappie! Too bad you've got. to die For making millions happy!" To death was he condemned. Aud put on bread and water; The sentence Heaven contemned. And frowned upon such Blaugbtor. Ho disappeared by nl-'ht, Through raor.' than mortal magic; Ills reindeers helped Ills flight lo times and dimes less tragic. To times and climes like ours. Where Freedom's joyous sway, Willi banquets, gifts and flowers Makes glad old Christmas I"uy. Bo drink we now his health. Whom spoilsports would destroy; For happiness is wealth Aud Heavon itself is joy! CHRISTMAS AND THE CHILDREN. It Is a Joyous Occasion for Vouitjr and Grateful llrllrts. Christmas is pur excellence the children's feast. If any one doubts it, he has only to compare the holiday in a home whore tuero uro no children with tbe celebration where there Is oven one olive brunch. The more f.f thoso the merrier. One of tho times when there eun hardiy be too big a quiverful is at holiday time that is to sav, so far as enjoyment is concerned. On tho financial side of the question opinions may differ. Yet, properly trained children are usually uuexacting little creatures, who have as keen enjovment in cheap playthings and inexpensive giftJ as in tho costly productions of tho French and German toy-makers. The wise parent, knowing how quickly the time of toautiful child-faith must pass, cherish all the sweet baby beliefs as long as they can. They tell wonderful tales of Santi Cuius, of Kris Kringlo, of St. Nicholas the beneficent Christmas saint is the same under any any alias they repeat and teach thj blessed ballad of "The Night Before Christmas," they ra'so to the dignity of a state ceremony the business of hanging up stockings, and in a gene: al way make the most of the sweet, merry mystery surroundm? the great holiday. There are some people who depre cate the teachings concerning dear old Santa Glaus, and say that when a chi d learns that the saint is a myth he lcse3 a portion of his faith in his parents' truthfulness and in their instructions concerning other and more sacred mysteries. The objection seems of little force. If the story of tho Christmis saint is told, as are the tales of fair.es, gncraeB, and other sprites, the child's serious faith is toldom shaken by the gradual awakening to the perception that the baloved Santa Clans is only another myth, a parable, like that of Jack Frost, who paints the colored leaves of autumn with a touch of his chill V finger, and locks the lakes and streams by a blast of his icy breath. It is not wise for the father and mother who tell the Santa Clam fiction to insist upon its truthfulness as they do upon that of the Babe in the manger, but thoy will readily learn to grade too emphasis they place upon either story. , , , , The joy of Christmas should never be cl udod by anv bitter associations in tho minds of the chi dren. Never let a switch find it- wav into the Christmas stocking. The punishment of such a mortification and disappointment mav soem merited in the eyes of tho mother. It would not, could sho for a moment enter into tho feelings in the HoptH n tin, obiiiiisli heart wound! hv the Bind rebuke. Theri is no fault I say it advisedly worthy of so bitter a penalty. On Christinas, '"tho sweet 11' the year" to the little cno. let there be no shadow o( paiu. of rebuke, of sorrow that the elders can by any effort spare to the young hearts. EXCHANGE OF GIFTS. Christmas Not to Be Degraded by tha Mercenery Spirit. In theory, tbe exchange of Christmas gifts is a beautiful custom. Christmas is supposedly a time when kindly feelings and universal good-will prompt a general manifestation of regard in the exchange of presents. It is the friendship expressed in the act that is valued. The proof of kindly feeling that is shown is the worth of the present. Tho cbu-c and not the effect occasions tho pleasure. All look forward to the happv holiday times when each is gladdenocl, and, in tui-n, makes others glad bv tokens of honest regard and friendly Jeelirg. Tho world fairly beams with goxl cheer. Every one has caught tho spirit t f the genotous insight: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." The intrinsic value of the article given does not of itself express love. In faot, the simple girt that contains tho loving toil ot u humble giver represents far more truly th Christmas spirit than the careless munificence of a wealth friend. But we need to keep on our guard lest this aeautiful !ay bo degraded by the mercenary spirit. It will not do to sav that tho pecuniary value of gifts ho'lds no relation to thoir power of expressing thoughtfulness and love. The trivial gift of a very rich fi ier.d certainly does not usually express deep regard; while tho slightest token may bo the evidence of a poor man's real affection. But to make tl.o giving of Christmas presents a matter of tacit bargain, to say to one's f olf, "Such a ono gave me a' present worth a dollar. 1 will return it with ono worth !I0 cents," or "i will give a pre-otit worth a dollar in hopo of getting one worth two," is to soil the beauty of tho day, and to degrade the spirit it expresses. In tho temple of Christmas clay there should no no tables of money-changers, no sale of oxen, nor even of doves. The Watchman. Another Side. A city girl had spent her whole summer in trying to elevate the simple country peoplo with whom sho was bearding, says the Detroit Tribune. Now sho was "bidding them adieu. "Good-by. Mr. Stilus." she said, "I hopo my visit here hasn't been entirely without good results." "Sartiu not," aid Farmer Stiles, "sartin not. You've learnt c heap sini o you lirst come; but, by cracky! you was about the greenest ono wo ever had on our hands.'' Dokman B. Eaton' is more prominently connected with civil service reform "sinco tho death of George William Curtis than any other American. He is now a loading corporation lawyer in Now York, where ho began practicing forty-throo years ago. 3

-AND-

StomachLiver Cufg The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundre d. Years. It Is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced Into this country by tho proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, who havo not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonio qualities which it possesses, and by its grt curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonio as a builder and strengthener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of tho lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages.

As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most

delicate individual. Nine-tenths of

general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, bfcome strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover.
