WAS EENQTON Lima
Washington, May 1. Judge Loch
ren, the democratic Commissioner of
Pensions, takes charge of the Tension
Bureau this week, with the full kr.owl
edge that he has undertaken the task
of his life, and by far the hardest job
that will fall to any Bureau Chief un
der the present administration. He
fully shares Tresident Cleveland's ideas
that the U. S. Tension List should be
a role of honor, and from the start it
will be his earnest endeavor to make
it so. No soldier legally entitled to a
pension has anything to fear from
Judge J-ochren j it is those who are
drawing pensions without any legal right
to them that are in danger from the new
administration of the Pension Bureau.
The roll is to be gone over carefully and
rapidly as possible without neglecting
the current business of the office, and
the rascals, when found, are not only to
be dropped, but where ever it can be
done they are to be compelled to repay
the money they have illegally drawn
from the government. In this good work
Judge Lochren will be glad of the co
operation of every good citizen. If any
citizen in any part of the country knows
- of any man who draws a pension with
out being entitled to it he should at once
communicate with Judge Lochren, g v
ing the facts as far as he knows them,
in order that an official examination
may be made. It is believed that the
old soldiers themselves will aid in this
work as soon as they become convinc
ed, as they soon must be, that only the
frauds are in danger of losing their
pensions.
Secretary Herbert has been so busy
since he took charge of the Navy De
partment, making prepatations for the
Naval Review, to say nothing of an at
tack from the grip, that he has had no
time to inquire into several notorious
abuses known to exist in his depart
ment, but he will do so now. Promi
nent in this liat of at uses is the prac
tice of granting long leaves of absence
to naval officers with two-thirds pay,
in order that they may enter the em
ploy of private parties or corporations,
thus drawing two salr.ries. The very
nature of the employment of these
officers, as will be seen by a list of the
most prominent of them hereto ap-
penaen, is in nsei: scandalous, and
would not be tolerated by any other
government, and probably will not be
much longer by the United States.
Commander Folger, who was for some
years Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance
of the Navy Department, was last
January granted leave of absence for
two years on the ground of ill health.
He immediately entered the employ
o( the company which controlled the
Harvey process for improving steel
armor plates, and which has large con
tracts with the government, contracts,
too, which he, as Chief of the Ord
inance Bureau, had been instrumental
in getting awarded to that company.
This transaction doesn't look altogeth
er straight, does it ? Lieut. Swift has
been on leavn since August 1, 1890,
and during all this time he has been
in the employ of Sellers & Co., ot
Philadelphia, who hive sold the Navy
Department big bills of tools etc.,
many of which were designed by Lieut.
Swift, who also negotiated their sale
to the department. Lieut. Command
er Symonds, and Chief Engineer Robi
son got one year's leave of absence
each, in order to accept positions with
private parties at the World's Fair.
Lieut. Commander Cornwell has been
on leave of absence for two years and
t under salary to the Thomson-Houston
Copper and Nickel Co., to look after
its contracts with the Navy Depart
ment. Lieut. Stone has a three year's
leave dating from March 16, 1891,
and draws $5,000, a year from Carne
gie & Co., to look after their steel con
tracts with the Navy Department.
Lieut. Drigg, joint inventor of a rapid
firing gun used in the Navy, is on
leave and in the employ of the com
. pany that manufactures those guns.
Lieut. Seabury, is on leave, and in the
employ of the company that manufac
tures ordnance for the army. Chief
Engineer Town, after long service in
preparing, for the department, designs
for machinery for naval vessels was
granted leave for two years in order
that he might draw $6,000 a year from
Cramp and Sons for superintending
the construction of the machinery he
bad designed in the course of his regu
lar duty. Lieut. Wood has been on
leave for nearly four years and is vice
president and manager of the Ameri
can Projectile Co., which has govern
ment contracts. Naval Constructor
Armistead was on inspection duty at
the ship yards of Lonng & Co., up to
May 4, 189 j, since which date he has
been on leave and in the employ of
that firm. Chaplain Holt is on leave,
engaged in literary work Civil En
gineer Menocal, is on leave, and is
chief engineer of the Nicaragua Canal
Co I lus is only a partial list, but it
shows a bad system. These men
should resign their commissions it they
desire to enter private business, but if
they hadn't the commissions their ser
vices would probab'y not bo wanted by
their present employers.
OUB WORLD'S FAIE LETTER.
(From our Special Correspondent.)
Chicago, April 30. Only one more
day and then the Fair will be a thing
of the present. Although the daily
visitor will see but little diflerence
next Monday from the appearance of
the grounds, as they are in fine con
dition, still the Fair will seem differ
ent. It will be on the stage of action
and the thousands of visitors next
.Monday are not going to be disappoint
ed in the greatest show on earth.
Every effort has been made by the
anxious officials to have the Fair open
in good shape j but the continued
storms and incessant rains have hind
ered the work very much. The finish
ing touches are being put upon the
white gown of the wonderful 'xity by
the lake," and they will be ready to
throw wide open the gates, and invite
critical inspection from their many
guests next Monday morning at 9
o'clock. Chicago is proud of the Fair
and on a whole has done her duty in
preparing to receive and entertain and
care for the visiting multitude, bhe
has placed the city in first class sani
tary condition. She has organized an
efficient system of fire, police and hos
pital service at the exposition grounds,
and she has done all and even more
than she promised to do when the lo
cation of the Fair was settled.
There is one thing however that
Chicago will stand on her rights for,
and that is the prices charged for hotel
and restaurant accommodations. It
is useless for the people way back in
the country to think they can come to
Chicago, see the Fait and stop at the
best hotel while doing so for the same
money that they pay for hotel rates at
home. Chicago is a big city and the
rates are always higher in the city than
in small country villages. A visitor
can get good board and room in any
part of the city for about $2.00 per
day, and he can buy a good meal at
any restaurant for fifty cents, but if
he ccmes here expecting to live on
$5.00 per week and take in the big
show ou; of that, he will be much mis
taken. In short, it will cost monw lo see
the Fair, and it will be money well
spent, too.
A historic relic reached the city
yesterday, and is now in the custody
01 one 01 the salety deposit companies.
It is the sword of Washington. It is
a bayonet plated, full dress sword,
with parchment scabbard and silk hilt
and cord attached. It was manufac
tured in 1750. It is not y.-t deter
mined just what disposition will be
made of the sword during the Fair,
but it will probably be on exhibition
in the Government Building.
The Pennsylvania's World's Fair
headquarters will be in good shape
Monday. The carpets are all laid and
the rich furniture is being put in to
day. The pictures are all hung and
the decorating is finished. The build
ing is a substantial building and re
sembles somewhat the Independence
Hall in Philadelphia. In the center
of the structure is a great rotunda
running up through the building, and
far up into the clock tower where it
ends in a dome, richly frescoed and
brilliantly lighted by electric lamps
sunk in the ceiling. It is under the
dome that the famous Liberty Bell
will be placed. The woman's depart
ment is artistically designed and is
furnished for a reception room. A
cloth of gold carpet made on special
order in Paris, covers ths triangular,
shaped room. Some very fine pictures
painted by Pennsylvania women adorn
the walls. The Keystone State has
responded bountifully in the way of
exhibits in the main building. Eight
thousand square feet are occupied in
the Horticultural building. This Is
fitted up handsomely and it is intend
ed to have a very fine display of pomo
logy and viticulture. Pennsylvania is
famous the world over for its coal, and
coal will be king in its exhibit. Great
pyramids of selected pieces with solid
chunks are placed around, and in the
centre is a large model of the well
known coal breaker and mining ap
pliances, showing just how the work is
accomplished in the great anthracite
region.
The sun shine3 with a bright glory
to day, giving a bright warm welcome
to the many visitors that are in our
city. Two o'clock is the hour set for
removing the Liberty Bell to Jackson
Park. This will be a fine parade.
The Chicago guards will escort the
party to the grounds. They are rush
ing things in every building, A visi
tor can hardly hear himself think for
the noise of the hammers, the rolling
of trucks and the wrenching apart of
box lops. The odor of paint and
varnish fill the air, as every workman
puts the finishing touches to every
nook and crevice. The Fair will close
tonight with a thankful sigh that every
I thing is in good shape as it is.
Then and Now.
A FEW POINTS OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE OLD AND THE NEW CIRCUS.
Great is the show business, and like
many others, has developed into a
science. There is a wide difference
between the old way of transporting a
circus and the present way. Instead
of using a limited number of horses to
drag wagons over the country roads,
sixty-four elegantly equipped modern
railroad cars are used by the Barm.ni
& Bailey Greatest Show on Earth--more
cars, in fact, than shows formerly
had horses, and only the locomotives
or motive power is hired, as the cars
are the sole property of the show.
Thus equipped, the circus is whirled
over the country for the season, visit
ing as many as twenty states and 200
different cities, which make people
wonder how it can be done The tent
instead of seating a beggarly 1,500
patrons is now enlarged to accommo
date 1 0.ooo, with fine opera chairs,
and the canvas is waterproof, too. In
stead of one small ring for the per.
formances, three big ones are used,
with two elevated stages, a racing
track and' spectacle stage 400 feet
long. Two menageries are part of the
modern show fained animals and
caged wild beasts and no show
amounts to much that lacks these.
Two herds ot elephants, instead of
one single animal of that kind, two
herds of camels, ponies, etc., etc ,
while 400 horses are used to haul the
chariots, cages and wagons from ths
trains to the grounds. Twelve tents
are erected containing wheel wrights,
blacksmiths, barbers, restaurants, sta
bles, etc., etc. Sleeping and hotel
cars are used also. The payroll con
tains the names of 1,300 people, and
the daily expenses foot up $7,300.
The capital invested is $3,500,000.
Instead of, as formerly, giving only
about a dozen acts with the circus,
that number is now presented at one
time and the total number is some
thing like 100 acts, which are supple
mented by a grand spectacle Colum
bus and the Discovery of America
the labor and time necessary to pro
duce it covering a space of half a year,
with an actual outlay of nearly, if not
quite, half a million dollars. There
can be no comparison made between
the circus of to day the big progress
ive affairs that are really a travelling
world's fair and the old-time affairs
of even so recent a date as ten years
past. "The Circus ot our Daddies"
is sneer nonsense. The Barnum &
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, which
will be here on May nth, contains
more to-day than all the old shows to
gether ever owned. It has more scen
ery than a dozen theaters, a bigger
ballet (300 dancers) than a dozen opera
companies, and more costumes than a
hundred theaters, the dresses repre
senting $250,000. The free street
parade represents $1,000,000 alone.

USE OF A SIMTLE REMI- DV.
MEN AND 70XEB INTERESTED.
"It is astonishing," said one of our
physicians the other evening, "how
many of the ordinary diseases people
suffer from come front the one cause
excess of uric acid in the blood.
To discover ' a medicine that would
dissolve this acid has puzzled thotis-
, ands of the best men of the medical
profession, until Dr. David Kennedy,
of Rondout, N. Y., produced what is
1 known the world over as Dr. Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy. 'I he great . value
we place in Favorite Remedy comes
from the fact that it is the unly medi
cine that will effectually dissolve this
acid thus curing rheumatism, dyspep
sia, kidney, livet and urinary troubles
and the sicknesses women suffer from.
These and many mote troubles all
come from the one cause, as I said
before, this death dealing uric acid."
Ferhaps there has been no one per
son in Wyoming Co., Pa., that has
suffered more than Mrs. Carrie Bou
ton, formerly of Schottville, but now
of Harvey's Lake, Luzerne Co. Mrs.
Bouton, in relating her restoration to
health, said s "From a growing girl
I suffered from female trouble or weak
ness peculiar to my sex. Several phy
sicians prescribed for me but I found
no relief. I was reduced in flesh down
to 68 pounds. By accident I heard
of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
and determined to try it, and to my
great joy I began to realize that I had
found a medicine that was doing me
good. I think I had used five bottles
when I found that I weighed 121J
pounds tnd was better in health than
I ever was before.
Inquiry among Mrs. Bouton's neigh
bors shows that she states nothing but
the facts in regard to her case. Many
other instances of the kind are widely
talked of in Scottsville, Tunkhannock,
Wilkesbarre and other places where
Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has
effected many cures after physicians
had given up hope.
"But," says one of our prominent
druggists, ' Favorite Remedy is equally
efficacious in other diseases, as talks
with people I have sold Favorite Re
medy to affirm. To my knowledge
right in our town Favorite Remedy
has cured people suffering from rheu
matism, dyspepsia, Sidney, liver and
urinary troubles."
Since the publication in one of the
New York medical journals of the
case of Mr. E. P. Tayer, of East Nas
sau, N.' Y., Dr. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy has been increasing in sale.
Mr. Tayer had suffered for fifteen
years with inflammatory rheumatism.
His case was practically abandoned
by his physicians. Favorite Remedy
Was brought to his notice and in less
than three months after its use he was
a well man.
In commenting on this case Dr. W.
II. Morse, of New York City, says :
The great good in Favorite Remedy
lies in its power to dissolve this dead
ly uric acid. In cases of dyspepsia,
eczema, scrofula or any urinary di
seases I have never known it to fail,
when taken according to directions.
Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is not
only used by physicians now but can
be found on sale by every medicine
dealer. Wiltces-liarre (ra.)2'imes.
It is a truth in medicine that the
smallest dose that performs a cure is
the best. DeWitt's Little Early Risers
are the smallest pills, will perform the
cure, and are the best. W. S. Rish-
ton, druggist.
