ho, although |
phy, is opposed to the publica~
tion of the entire pension roll by
the government, because of the
large expense, but he thinks it
would be productive of good re-
sults to furnish the newspapers
with the complete list of all pen-
sioners within the radius of their
circulation. When Mr. Murphy
was incharge of office, all news~
papers that applied for lists of
pevsioners in their localities were
| promptly accommodated.
The Republicans are doing
more crowing over the small
surplus shown by the Government
receipts and expenditures tor the
month of December, than they
will over the big deficit that
January will certcinlv show. Mr
Dingley has taken advantage of
the situation to issue & rosy
statement in which he easily
makes it appear,"on paper"that
the deficiency of $44.000,000, for
the first half of the current fiscal
year will not be increased during
the last half, upon which the
country has just entered, as
though that was something of
which he an@ his party had a
right to be justly nroud. What
would the stockholcers of a big
has openly shown its advocacy of
Judge McComas for the Senate,
and has compelled Gov. Lowndes
to withdrawn favor of McComas.
Ex Pension Commissioner Mur-
occupaticn, You would be surprised
to know how many of the fashionable
socievy men are DepartmentT clerks.
Some ot the most attractive among
them get a majority uf their meals out
of society. .They rent a room for a
small amount, and dine out every
nizht, frequently getting a lunch or a
breakfast from a friend. In return,
they make it their business to be
entertaining and always in a good
humor, ready to be'of service and 10
initiate new people into the etiquette
ot the place.�

) eIRE UNCOVERED A GAME.
Yhe Poker Players Ceased Onl
Burning Rocf Fell In,
A hitherto unchronicled incident
of the old Pike Opera House fire, in
1866, was told a few days ago bya
man who at that time was a mem-
ber of the fire department, and who
still does service with the fire lad- ,
dies. The incident was characteris. |
tic of the times, for in those days,
when the town was wide open and
the stranger could get any old game
at any old place if he had the roll,
the fact that a fire, even of the mag-
nitude of that famous blaze, was not
sufficient to interrupt a seductive
game of draw caused no surprise.
The like of that Pike fire will
probably never occur, for, with the
poor facilities with which the fire-
men were then equipped and the
element of danger which marked
their every step, it-has always been
regarded as a miracle that no life
was sacrificed in the conquering of
that famous blaze.
The night was well spent and the
efforts of the firemen had been so
far successful as to practically get
the flames under control when it
~was discovered that the fire had
made its way into the building in
the rear, which faced on Baker
street. Now, this structure was
frame and bore the name of shel-
When the
most talked of games of poker
which this town then had in plenty.
All through the night lights had
blazed brightly from within the
place, and the rooms were filled
with its habitues, though at times
it seemed as if the heat and the
proximity of the blaze would com-
pel them to vacate, That this was
not the case was proved by the fire-
men a few moments after it was ob-
served that the structure was on
fire.
A half dozen members of the old
hooks No. 2 were sent to the roof
with buckets with which to stay the
progress of the fire. When they
reached the scene of their new la-
bors, the roof had been burned
through in several places and a clear
view of the interior of the upper
room was to be had.
When ~the first man _ looked
through, he stopped in amazement
Kand thenT called his companions to
his side. They looked and saw a
sight that so filled them with sur-
prise that the fire burned unmolest-
ed for several minutes. There,
gathered around a small oak table,
were four men, their faces showing
no traces of fear, even as the fire-
| brands dropped one by one through
the burning roof to the floor below,
and the cards were dealt once while
the firemen watched the strange
sight. |
[he crackling of the flames
brought the firemen to their senses,
and they sprang to their work, and
even as they did soa portion of the
roof fell with a resounding crash.
Carefully they made their way ovei
the charred timbers to the spo
where they had watched the game
but the room was now vacant except
for acolored man who seemed tov
much frightened to gather up the
money which lay in profusion about
the floor and table. The firemen
clambered through the roof and
helped the colored man gather uj)
the bills, and then they worked or
until the great Pike fire was tappe)
out.
For many a day in the engin
houses that scene was the topic ¢
much conversation, and to this du
itis talked about by the men w!
witnessed itand told totbeir friend
who still recount it. That = mu-
have been a poker game whi
should have gone down in the au
nals of that wonderful and mu
written of game as the one wh!
was played under circumstanc
that would have made the averiy:

UNPROGRESSIVE JAPS. -
Business Methods Which Prevent Thetr
Becothing CQpmercially Powerfal.
An American manufacturer, writ-
ine from Japan, says that those
ularmists who would make the
_world believe that the Japanese can
do everything donTt know what they
are talking about, aud that the peo.
ple of the flowery land, unless they
~change their entire nature, oy, at
all events, their methods, can never
become formidable commercial ri-
vals with any civilized power. The
real fact is that the Japs do nothing;
they only half do it, and therein
lies the cause of their failure.
The Jap thinks of nothing but the
present; of what he can make now,
and how, by making his commodi-
ties a little inferior, he can adda
few more cents to his profit. If he
has to pay more for his labor, the
idea of economy, or the boid declara-
tion that he can no longer sell at
the original price, never strikes
him, but he extends the whole of
his ingenuity in trying to diminish
the quality without any loss in the
appearance. There is no such thing
as standard quality. You are never
eure of getting the quality you are
asked to pay for. So much is this
so in Japan that a manseldom buys
an article without unwrapping and
examining it on the spot. The cor-
respondent continues: "
oThe Japanese mind is so small
that it is difficult to weigh it with
American scales"in fact, it may be
said that it is made upof trifles, and
itis the attention"the labored at-
tention"the Jap gives to these tri-
fles which makes him incapable of
ever becoming anything more than
a& unit in whatever be may be
concerned. As an illustration of
what I mean, I will give examples
which are of daily occurrence. You
want to buy an article, and you ask
how much it is. The answer is, say,
1 cent. Then you ask how much the
articles are by the dozen, fully e.-
pecting that you will get them for
10 cents. You are nota littleamazed
when the merchant tells you 13
cents the dozen. You get mad, call
the mana fool, and insist that you
ought to get a reduction by taking
a quantity. Not so with the Jap;
that is not his way of doing busi-
ness. If you take one, he reasons
that is 1 cent, but if you take a
dozen he will have to count them,
and then it will be 138 cents.
oTt is thesame with the manufac-
turer. You give him an order for
100 of a kind, and then wish to
make it 1,000. Immediately he de-
mands an advance in the price.
Should he, however, reluctantly
agree to take the increased order at
the original price, you will proba-
bly get the first hundred articles
fairly up to sample, but as the de-
livery goes on the quality is sure to
fall off. And this smallness is not
confined to small people. It per-
meates the whole country, and one
of the leading banks advertises that
it allows 4.385 per cent interest on
current accounts and 5.115 per cent
on savings bank deposits. TT"Boston
