Investigation brought out the fact that many men who are drawing disability pensions are living in the soldiers' homes without cost to themselves and are earning regular wages for the perfor mance of manual labor. Further inves tigation shows that, except in the cases ; of those who draw pensions under the j act of 1890, nothing can be done to pre vent a continuance of the practice with out new legislation. "It is evident that the whole system of pension laws," re marked a congressman who was himself a Union soldier, "are faulty and in need of a thorough revision, but I have seri ous doubts as to the courage of congress to make that revision. Pensions have been used as capital so long by dema gogues that the people at large will have to be educated on the subject before the pressure upon congress becomes strong enough to compell action. The prelim inary steps in this educational work are being taken by the administration in its endeavor to clear the roll of illegal pen sioners. Later the revision of the law will come in answer to a public demand in which thousand of old soldiers will join, indeed, many of them have already done so. As soon as pensions are en tirely divorced from partisan politics jus tice will be done, alike to the taxpayer and the old soldier." Both ends of the capitol building are in the hands of a small army of work men who are putting everything in ship shape for the extra session of congress. Everything is being overhauled and freshened up or renewed as the exigen cies of the case may demand. Among the fraudulent pensioners whose dropping from the roll was oili cially approved this week were eleven men shown by the records of the war department to have been deserters and who are still deserters at large, one man who never was in the army at all and several women who continued to draw widow's pensions after they had married again. Surely such as these have no business on a "roll of honor." President Cleveland was asked by the committee in charge of the preparations for the celebration of the centennial of the corner-stone of the United States capitol building to deliver the principal oration upon the occasion, but as the president expects to have his hands full about the date of the celebration—Sep tember 18—be told the committee that he could not comply with their request, but would gladly make a short speech introducing the man tbey selected to de liver the oration. Last Friday closed the fiscal year, and while the financial condition of the gov ernment is not all that could be asked for it is very much better than there was any good reason six months ago, for ex pecting that it would be at this time. There were abundant reasons six months ago for the fear that, instead of the com fortable cash balance on hand, the ad ministration would have to begin the new year with a deficit. 8. Vjication timo is coming, and tho sea shore dweller is getting ready to go to tho mountains, tho tired city man is pre paring to go to the country, tho dweller of the interior is looking forward to a visit to the city and the shore. Each de wires change, and so illustrates tl*e law that rest and recuperation come not so ' much from cessation of activity some times as from variety of occupation and new surroundings, new faces and new scenery. It is well that this is so, for the visiting of new places and tho mak ing of new acquaintances tend not only to strengthen and refresh the tired toiler, hut to make liirn broader in his views and fitter to understand the largo prob lems that as a citizen of this ago of change and progress he must grapple with* The company which runs the gambling hell at Monte Carlo won 23,000,000 francs last year. Its capital stock is 30,000,000 francs, and its expenses, which include hotel and railroad hills for dead broke victims, are over 10,000,000 francs. Its dividends are about 50 per cent per an num.

It Drove a Young Pcnnßylvanlun to Do Murdor—Other Instances In Which tlio Victim Has Shot the Swindler —Anthony Comstock's Work. It has come to pass In these times that sympathy is not very generously accorded to the victim of the gentlo dealer in green goods, for mankind is prone to look with out much allowance upon him who will not heed warnings that are constantly thrust upon him. And the almost daily publication of the swindling of someone by this aged method is un almost daily warning, lie who passes it by is confessed ly hebctudinous. Besides, it has permeated the general intelligence that perhaps the swindled is uo honcster than the swindler —if indeed he he as honest. TIIE BAO AND THE BRICK. For awhile it is the ahn of the sharper to swindle strangers only, the man who with a little good money would purchase a lot of counterfeit not only hopes to get a good deal for not much more than nothing, but is fain to realize by swindling his friends and neighbors in passing off upon them the green goods as genuine currency. That in addition to this sneaking form of dis honesty the buyers are at heart often des perate persons of murderous intent is evi denced by the occasional killing of a green goods man by his victim. By a coincidence interesting to the stu dent of criminal news the latest case of homicide of this sort took place hut a day or two before Anthony Comstock's most recent successful seizure of green goods was effected. The man killed was Anthony Martin—better known as Tony—who had for many years made a comfortable income off the gullible gudgeons attracted by bis "coufldential circulars." It was in this manner that the taking oIT of Tony Martin came about. Two brothers, Robert and Edward K. Hoerner, sons of the owner of the Bessemer llou.se at Bteelton, Pa., betook themselves to New ' York, as is supposed, for the purpose of do ing up the green goods men. They had hod some correspondence with a man who signed himself George Phillips, and accord ing to instructions received from him stopped at Elizabeth, N. J., on their way to the bigciry. They registered as Joseph and Robert Hall and under these names met a man sent by "Phillips," who called himself Wogner. With him the brothers went to a saloon in New York and met "Phillips." He suggested that they should all go to Williamsburg. He took along a satchel, which, he said, coutaiued SIO,OOO in bogu9 money. It wus to be given to the young men upon their turning over to him the roll of good money (containing $050) which they had. It would not do, "Phillips" said, to make the transfer where inquisitive strangers could witness it, and he suggested that he and "Robert Hall" should go into a saloon on Grecnpoint avenue while "Wag ner" and "Joseph Hall" should go out and talk the matter over and make the exchange. This was agreed to, and an aged gentle man Introduced as "Mr. Stern" and said to bo uncle to Phillips accompanied them. He beguiled the time by relating wonderful stories of the advantages that were to ac crue to the Hall brothers from the posses sion of the SIO,OOO worth of green goods. "Joseph Hall" was a trifle incredulous not withstanding all this and insisted on see ing the goods before he delivered the price. "Very well," suid "Wagner." "Take tho satchel and keep the money until wo get back to the saloon. You can give it to me there. But lam afraid that if wo all con tinue to walk together the 'cops' will spot us, so you had better go ahead with both money and satchel, and we will follow." This was assented to, though the young Pennsylvania!) bad.a suspicion. When ho turned to see if his companions were fol lowing, they were not in sight. His sus picion was strengthened by this circum stance, and when ho felt in his pocket and discovered that his s<3so was gone tho sus picion became a certainty. When he tried to open the satchel, he found that it was locked. He whipped out his knife and cut open the bag. It contained u brick. He rushed to the saloon. "Phillips" and his brother were still there. "These scoundrels have swindled us/' cried Joseph. Then he drew his revolver and began to shoot, though with such unsteady aim that tho first bullets went wide. But the fourth ! found its mark, and "Phillips" received a I mortal wound. The two brothers were ar- JOSF.PH AND ROBERT HOERNER. rested, and in a day or two "Phillips" died. The Hoerner* are now behind the bars in Brooklyn, one on a charge of murder direct and the other on a charge of being accessory before the fact to a murder. Tho identification of Phillips as Tony Martin took place on the day before his death. Martin belonged to the notorious McNallygang. He began his career us a crook in the pickpocket line and was then known as "Handback Tony." From the business of picking pockets he rose to the rank of expert "fliin Hammer" and was then dubbed "Flim Flam Tony." Then he was graduated as a green goods operator, j Ilig conduct brought him frequently into collision with the authorities, and during his life he saw the inside of many jails and | prisons. He was with Georgle Appo, the half breed Chinaman wlio was shot by n farmer in Poughkeepßie to whom they were sing ing their Bongs, and Martin escaped that : time by flight. "Mr. Stern," who figured as the uncle of "Phillips" during the episode with the Hoerners, was Joe Blake, better known as "Papa" Joe, while "Wagner" was Louis Stern. For a time Martin had his green goods headquarters in Jersey City, wliero he went after the Poughkeepsie shooting, and was there known as Andy Bowefs. Anthony Comstock arrested him and took him before n United States commissioner in Newark, N. J. Martin gave bonds in $3,000 for further appearance, but jumped 1 his bail, as he had often done before, and so j escaped punishment. His printing offlco was raided in New York some months ago. i Perhaps the most sensational green goods homicide in New York was that of Tim Davis, who was killed by a Texan named T. J. Holland. Holland made a pilgrimage to New York with one John T. Hill, city marshal of Colorado, Tex. They had had considerable correspondence with Davis, and they suspected his motivfes. It was ! their purpose to see that his play was 5 square or know the reason. Davis' method | was the ancient panel game. When Hol land and his friend had been lured into the den, a satchel, into which Holland had seen what purported to bo SIO,OOO of green goods placed, was set on a table in front of the panel. When the exchange of this satchel for one containing only green paper was attempted, the Texan's keen eye detected the movement. He waited for no explanar tions, but drawing a heavy revolver began pumping lead into the person of Davis, which presently became a corpse. Holland was arrested and tried for murder, but was allowed to go free. J Anthony Comstock's recent capture of i green goods in Connecticut was in accord ance with the theory that most phenomenal I successes are-accidents. He had arrested a l thrifty Connecticut man for sending ob | scene postal curds through the mails, and he went to Bridgeport from New York by boat to prosecute the ease. His attention was accidentally drawn to a large packing case which had broken open, leaving its contents partly exposed to view. They knd a familiar look to Comstock, and be inves tigated. This resulted in the discovery that ' the box contained 8,000 addressed envelopes. Each envelope contained three green goods circulars, so that the find included 24,000 circulars. Mr. Comstock followed this up and had the consignee, Louis Stevens of Bridgeport, arrested. Stevens said he was the agent of Simpson & lieed of New York. l Besides tho circulars the box contained a [ lot of private account books and the "steer ing book" of the green goods men. From them it was seen that they had taken in $40,185 since April 1 of this year. The "steering book" showed in detail just how much was got from each victim. For in stance, George Vicker of Mitchell, Ont., was "roped" by Frenchy and Oliver, who en riched themselves by S3OO in the operation. | This money was divided as follows: "Joint" ''place of operation), sls; "steerer,"sls; "out j look," $lO. This left S2OO, of which $155 went to the boss of the gang and $lO5 to tho "ropers." If the gang did as good busi ness every year, they would make about $1,000,000 annually. ANTIIONY COMSTOCK. Mr. Comstock's work as head of tho So ciety for the Suppression of Vice is well khowu and variously commented on throughout the country. Many consider him to be a most despicable person, and it is probably true that in some cases he has overstepped tho mark, especially in his seizures of works of art and the stoppage of certain publications. But on the other hand his efforts have certainly been produo tive of great gflod in many instances. He has suppressed a very largo number of ob jectionable publications of one kiud and unother which formerly could bo bought In most cities almost as openlv as the Biblo and the dictionary, and which cannot now be found at all. No one could meet him and talk with him for 10 minutes without being convinced of his sincerity. Ills facp bear 9 a scar which was inflicted by a rascal that he had brought to justice in Newark, N. J. Ho is a man of unquestionable cour ago and superior Intelligence, uud when he aiu be induced to talk hi 9 conversation is extremely interesting. ! Since his raid in Bridgeport the legisla iuturo of Connecticut has passed a luw making the green goods schemes felonious offenses, as they have been for some years in New York and New Jersey. Though the headquarters of tho green ! goods men of New York city has for the j lust two or three years boen hi tho suburbs, : tho most of them live in tho city along the upper portion of the Boulevard. There they aro very popular, for few of their neigh bora ! know of their occupation, excepting possi ! bly tho saloon keepers, of whom tho swin dlers are of course excellent customers. I They live well and spend their money freely, making friends with as many peoplo as pos- I bible and taking care to conduct themselves j unobjectionably near their own homes. The men who make a living by shady transactions in horseflesh live in the sumo | locality and aro frequently "in cahoots" i with the green goods men, and when the green goods business is dull, as it sometimes is, the latter occasionally turn to tho horso business for relief. To their neighbors they are known by ordinary names, and in some eases probably their own, but among them ! selves they are called by various pictur esque titles, such as "Paddy tho Pig," j "George the Coon," "Sam Sly," "Easy j Jack," "Dutch Jake," "Fizz Mike," "Pret ty Brooks," "Poodle Murphy," "Hand some Frank" and the like, all of which aro undoubtedly derived from some feat or characteristic of the persons so culled. Sometimes they do business nominally as diamond merchants, commission mor chants and us agents of one kind or an other. The]/ sense of humor is probably very highly developed, for they have been known to send their circulars to very well known men. Russell Harrison received one of them last year, and he made an un successful effort to have the sender run down. I. I). MARSHALL. Blew Fiith Out of the Lttkb.

The table-knife grinders inaug urate these af fairs by a na tional conven tion, which opens at Wall rniLLiP STRONG. ingford, Conn., m July 0, and, in turn, unions of retail clerks, harnoss makers, engineers, j coopers, plumbers, tailors, machinists and every variety of manual laborers, | will successively have a gathering in 1 all the principal cities from Boston to j San Francisco. They are so timed as I not to interfero with each other, while various measures, social, industrial | and even political, will be taken up and disposed of in turn. I Strikes will be much discussed by the table-knife grinders when they come together at Walllngford. The ( delegates, especially those from the j district where tho Turner's Falls strike | raged, are inclined to discountenance I any further war on capital, and Gen ! oral Secretary Thomas Pinseglone, who comes from Bay State, Mass., is a very conservative man, when drastic action is proposed. The retail clerks, salesmen and women, that is, whose national pro tective union meets in Nash villo, Tcnn., July 11, have not fe* been generally wr considered an / organizingclass. J V N e v c r t he less they will send hundreds of del- ItSf/wA-J egates to the ' southern city, MISS ANNA n. WEISS. and thousands of male and female workers in retail stores, large and small, all over the country will follow the proceedings with a member's in terest. President James Morrow thinks the sessions will continue some days and the presence of women will l>e somewhat of a novel ty for a labor gathering. Miss Mary Burke, of Findlav, 0., is a mem ber of the union's executive board. One great question will be that of women's labor. The union has striven liard to raise their pay and condition with such success that the female membership has grown enormously, and the second vico president is now a woman, Miss Annu B. Weiss.

Secretary John B. Lennon, of the union, Is also an executive officer of the American Federation of Labor, and the delegates who will go wilh him to Chicago, in December, are to bo chosen by the St. Louis meeting. The Brotherhood of Brass Workers sends its representatives to New York this year, and the Ist of August is the opening day of the convention Secre tary C. C. McGlogan is already on the ground making his plans, and the president anticipates the attendance of two hundred delegates to say nothing of visitors. The brotherhood is only about two years old, but it has now over forty local assemblies in the United States and Canada. The deliberations are expected to be over in a week. Such well-known labor traen as James W. Moloney, Neill McCallum, James J. Gatter and others will be present. The carriage and wagon workers, ma r - shalled by the president of the inter iu* t i on a 1 union, William c. c. M'OLOGAN. F. Stuart, are vo tssemble at Chicago 011 August 14, and what with debates over wages, the set tlement of strike# and the advisability of arbitration, not to mention tho world's fair, the adjournment will not come for many days. This is also a young- order, having been organized in 1891, with four hundred and fifty mem bers all told. Tho numbers now run into tho thousands. The only considerable body of wage workers in the world which is pro hibited by its constitution from tak ing part in strikes or from interfering with or making a standard of wages meets in national convention at Cleve land from September 5 to 9, inclu sive, and is thu National Association of Stationary Engineers. The associa tion has now some 850 branches in al most every state in the union, and this, the twelfth annual convention, will be by far the largest and most important in the order's history. Should all the delegates, alternates, oillcers and committeemen elected at tend, there will be between 800 and 1,000 persons at the sessions, not count ing spectators or visitors.

The union issues a label for slack work and a stamp for tight work which are recognized, the first by the millers and the second by the brewers, distillers and others who use tight packages. The International Machinists' union goes to the world's fair city on Scptem : her 18. This is one of the new organi- I zations, and its organization is due to the fact, to quote General Secretary N. Morse, "that the national organization already in existence refused to strike out the color line in its constitution and affiliate with the American Federation of Labor." The delegates will represent about thirty-five local unions and thousands of members. Tho Efif settlement of K \ ie labor difli pv ft fji culty and the W adjusting of . a jZfLI uniform wage J f scale will be the two chief topics before them.

J. Sjostrom, Aug. Waldinger and Martin Hill. "The helots among the helots," as Henry Weissman of the Journeymen Bakers and Confectioners' union says his fellow-craftsmen have been con sidered in all ages and countries, have chosen some three hundred delegates to represent thein in national conven tion at Baltimore beginning Septem ber 11. "We propose to go right along with our work to keep our brothers of toil," is how Grand Master Fred J. Anthony forecasts the proceedings at the com ing national convention of Railway Shop Employes at Indiannpolis which opens September 24. Ilcre, in the grand master's own words, is the scope of the movement: "About July 18, 1801, at the New Mexico headquarters of the A. T. & S. F. 11. R. a little trouble arose between shop employes and the master mechan ic which led to a strike of every man, although there was only one branch of employes organized, which were tho machinists, and only half of them be longed to the union. On the morning of the second day, those of the machinists who did not belong to the union began tullung of going back to work, and when the other employes who had no organization at all to back them heard of it, there was almost a stam whether they £& J should go to J|.- work or not. A / Just at that time I, who had begun to work in the shops four days prior to the walk out ■*3# came around to the hoys with a WILLIAM H. COOK. petition and agreement combined, set ting forth that each shop employe who would sign it to ask for a charter and a/freed to become a member of what shall be known as the Railway Shop Employes of America. Brother, I had some difficulty at first to get signers to this petition, but I was determined the men should not be beaten if I could help It, and that day fit noon 1 had forty-five signers. I appointed the next day for a meeting to organize them. When the hour of meeting ar rived there were mustered 19 out of 45 signers and they were organized. "We have now nearly thirty lodges and are still growing." The month of October will witness national conventions of cotton mule spinners at Boston, and of railway trainmen in the same city, and of ma chine woodworkers in St. Louis. In November tho electrical workers will \ send delegates from all over the coun try to Cleveland. The journeymen ! barbers do the saino in December, but the representatives assemble iu Ciuciu- | nati. Finally on December 11 tho annual meeting of the American Federation of Labor at which will appear dele gates elected at all these various con ventions will assemble in Chicago with Samuel Gompcrs presiding, and organized labor's work for 1892 will cod when it adjourns.
