Seme Lively Remarks Made in the Discussion Yesterday Afternoon— The Special Examiners. At the close of the exciting debate upon the Hawaiian resolution yesterday after- noon the House entered immediately upon a discussion of the pension policy of the administration. When the debate was fin- ished the House put the seal of its disap- proval upon the system of suspending pen- sions, in vogue in the pension bureau since the advent of the present administration, and passed an amendment designed to put @ stop to the practice. It was during the further consideration of the urgent deficiency appropriation bill that all this occurred. The pending propo- sition was the item of $200,000 for the pay of special examiners in the bureau. Mr. Pickler of South Dakota, one of the rough- and-ready fighters on the republican side, jumped into the arena and made a few passes at Mr. Livingston of Georgla, who was defending the bill. Mr. Pickler said: “The gentleman from Georgia in the last Congress led that forlorn hope from the committee on appropriations in the five or six iniquitous amendments against the old soldiers that were offered to that bill; and he was so ignominiously defeated even by his own side, that he went back south sing- ing dolefully ‘I am going back to Dixie.’ So he comes up again, and is persistent in the matter of again opposing plunder. The gentleman says himself in the Congression- al Directory, and that is evidence that it must be true, because he says it, he ‘has bean prominent in all political struggles in his state for many years.’ (Laughter.) You musc accept that, because the gentle- men himself says so. 1 invite him to add another sentence to his biography, and say ‘That he is also prominent in opposition to pensions for Union soldiers.” “It is, however, evident that the gentle- man was not half so vigorous, courageous, and energetic after the Yankee soldiers in 1861 to 1865 as he is now, otherwise he would have been a brigadier general of the confederaey in less than six months; but I find that for four years he was a private in the confederate army. (Laughter) I say if he had been half as vigorous, half as courageous and energetic after live Yankees 1861 to 1865 he would have been a brig- ier general in less than six months.’ (Laughter.) Pensions and Votes. Mr. Pearson of Ohio took the floor to make a remark upon the bearing of the pension policy upon the late elections. “And let me say to gentlemen on this floor,” said Mr. Pearson, “that the action of the pension bureau in the matter of the suspension of the pensions of Union sol- diers had more to do with giving to Gov. | McKinley his majority of 80,000 than eny- thing else and all else combined; and, Mr. Chairman, without any intention or desire to refiect upon any one, I want to say that no party need hope to reduce that majority in” Ohio by unjustly interfering with that sacred‘roll containing the names of the r.en and those dependent upon them whose blood cemented the union of these states.” (Ap- plause.) Mr. Hicks of Pennsylvania said: “The time was, Mr. Chairman, when the men who enjoyed the honor of being ex- aminers of the pension department assisted these old veterans and their widows and orphans in preparing and presenting their claims to this government, but z Dero m the methods that have prevai under the present administration, that instead of their being special examiners for the pen- sion department, that is a misnomer, and they should be called special detectives; for instead of carrying out the wishes of the people of this great government, to help these old men and their widows and or- phans, these special examiners are spies upon their track, and instead of matntain- ing the pension roll as one of honor these examiners, so called, are attempting to make it one of dishonor, and are endeavor- ing to create the impression that the entire pension list is honeycombed with fraud. Mr. Blair's Speech. Mr. Blair of New Hampshire made the most bitter speech of the day, however. He said: “I wish first to say a word in regard to the charge that the pension roll is a roll of dishonor. Thank God, ‘it comes from very few persons, but they_make a great deal of noise. It epmes from the few unrecoh- structed rebels from the south and the sur- viving copperheads from the north, the two classes but far whom there would have been no pension roll at all. (Applause and laugh- ter on the republican side.) Of the former 1 have yet great hope. For those of our countrymen generally who were engaged in the rebellion I have the highest respect, be- cause they are patriots today; but for the surviving copperhead there is no hope. He is too much like the original creature for whom he was so appropriately named. Laughter.) Cathe pension roll a roll of dishonor! Every year the scrutiny of the rolls of the churches of this country develop more of shame and of dishonor than you have ever developed or that:you ever can develop in the pension roll of the United States. (Ap- plause.) Even in the olden times among the disciples there was one reprobate, there was one copperhead. (Laughter.) God grant that in our time it may not prove to be true that the man who held the bag then is the man who holds the bag today. (Laughter.) No, Mr. Chairman, the pension roll is a roll of honor, and it is in the keeping of men of honor from the north, and I believe from the south also. You may purge that roll with your utmost endeavors and you will find that there never has been a list of men who have stood so high and so deservedly high in the estimation of their countrymen as do the Union pensioners of this land.” Mr. Williams Causes a Stir. Mr. Williams of Mississippi created some- thing of a stir by a frank avowal which he made. He said: “I represent a Bourbon democratic con- stituercy. In my congressional district there is perhaps not a single federal pen- sioner, except a few negro teamsters and cooks. But I also represent a constituency which has a great love of justice in the abstract, and, representing that sort ‘of n constituency, I stand here today in favor of two things, which it would appear from the present debate are irreconcilable, but which in my mind are very reconcilable, The one is the purging of the pension roll, making of it a roll of honor, and the other is the amendment offered by the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. William A. Stone). “Representing a Bourbon democratic con- | stituency with no federal pensioners, I am yet in favor of both these propositions. We take some pride down our way in the pen- sion roll, not because any of us are on it, but because our people did something to make it. (Laughter). Taking that sort of pride in the pension roll, it occurs to me that as a matter of justice—and I believe in doing justice though the heavens fall—the fact that a man is on the pension roll is a prima facie something in his favor. He stands in a position where evidence ought to be offered to change the status which he occupies. I think that being on the pen- sion roll is a prima facie reason, though not a conclusive one, for supposing that the man deserves a pension. (Applause). I do not believe, therefore, that it would be good policy on the part of the democratic party (because nothing is good policy which is unjust) to defeat a proposition which sim- ply asks that notice and an opportunity to be heard shall be given before a man’s name is taken off that pension roll after it has once been put upon it.” The Amendment Adopted. A number of other members made re- marks, and when a vote was finally de- manded the following amendment, proposed by Mr. Martin of Indiana, a democrat, was adopted: “That any pension heretofore or that may hereafter be granted to any applicant there- for under any law of the United States au- thorizing the granting and payment of pen- sions, on application made and adjudicated upon, shall be deemed and held by all offi- cers of the United States to be a vested right in the grantee to that extent that payment thereof shall not be withheld or suspended until, after due notice to the grantee of not less than thirty days, the commissioner of pensions, after hearing all the evidence, shall decide to annul, vacate, modify, or set aside the decision upon which such pension was granted. Such notice to grantee must contain a full and true state- ment of any charges or allegations upon which such decision granting such pension shall be sought to be in any manner dis- turbed or modified.” AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Many Items of General Interest From West Washington. Mrs. Matilda M. C. Falls, wife of the late Moore N. Falls of Baltimore, at one time president of the Bay Line Steamship Com- pany, and a leading spirit in the old Fred- erick Stage Company, died yesterday. Death came at the home of her son, Rev. Mr. Falls, rector of St. Alban’s Church, on the Tenleytown road. Ever since Mr. Falls assumed charge of St. Alban’s, over twelve years ago, his mother has resided with him. For a woman of her years— eighty-one—she was remarkably active up to within four weeks of her death. Tomorrow at 9 o'clock the funeral serv- ices in town will take place at St. Alban’: ment in Greenmount cemetery. The Rev. Alexander Rich, brother of Dr. F. R. Rich, of Georgetown, who married a grandchild of the deceased, will be in charge of the services to be held there. A Narrow Escape. Miss Elsie Ough, daughter of Mr. Richard Ough, the architect, had a trying expe- rience yesterday on the New Cut road near the college branch culvert. Her bravery, however, brought her out victorious. Mi Ough, who is a school girl and prepossess- ing, frequently comes to town from her home on the Palisades of the Potomac property. Yesterday she was returning in a buggy, looking intently on the road in front of her. Suddenly her vehicle gave a jerk as if it had just received a heavy weight on the back. The occupant turned and saw a man in her carriage. She was about to screata when she was seized by the throat. A struggle ensued, in which Miss Ough tried to release herself and the man used every effort to drag her to the road. In the meantime the horse was going steadily on. When the place of Mr. Wetzel, which bor- ders the Foxhall road, was reached a half stifled scream apparently attracted the at- tention of a man coming across a field, and the would-be assailant made his escape through the woods to the south of the road. Miss Ough, then much excited, called to the new arrival, but found that he had really not seen her. She then whipped up her horse and made hurriedly for the home of Mrs. Frank Fauth, the wife of the Georgetown letter carrier, who resides In Harlem. There she stayed until her agitation had subsided and all danger had passed. Real Estate. Mr. Perry W. Lowe has traneferred to John Curtin, through U. B. Mackall, the lot on the corner of warehouse alley and M street. The consideration named in the deed is @ nominal one, though it is understood $4,000 was obtained. The Ears and Eyes of School Children To the Editor of The Evening Star: In these days of wholesale literature— when the secular, ecclesiastical and profes- sional papers and journals represent every class of opinion, it is customary for each “to shinny on bis own side.” And this is right and proper. But now and then some piece of practical information strays outside of its proper bounds, and when it is admis- sible of widespread application, its publica- tion does good. This is particularly true when the subject matter deals with a ques- tion of hygiene or sanitation. In these modern times of revolution and evolution there never have been in the his- tory of this country as many school houses, as large school houses and as many scholars. This is a great good, but it is not altogether unmixed with evil. The archi- tect has kept pace with the developments of the public school system, and the build- ings are flooded with the best light, venti- lated by the most approved system of draw- ing in fresh air and expelling the bad, and the plumber has developed the best system for preserving untainted the breathing air of the school rooms, but the oculists and aurists, in spite of these advantages, are kept busy atiending to the youngsters’ eyes and ears. Twenty years ago it was a rare sight to see a “kid” of ten or twelve years wearing glasses—what is more common now? This is due in part to the rapid strides made in science of the oculist 0 that he now diagnoses a trouble unknown twenty years ago—and by @ proper adaptation of glasses corrects and often permanently cures what might, in time, have developed into an incurabie malady, and in the second place, amongst such a number of scholars as are now attending public schools, with all the different grades and conditions of phys- ical development, and the sharp competi- tion and emulation for first place, some eyes must suffer. ut for the ear troubles there is no ex- euse, and in the vast majority of cases no one to blame but the youngsters themselves. The point of the lead pencil and the cue of paper are the sponsors for nine-tenths of the ear troubles. Many years ago I heard Dr. Nathan R. Smith (The Old “Emperor’) say that “the man who invented the little pair of tweezers with an ear spud on the end, and carried by many in the vest pocket, had been a curse to nis race.” The habit of picking at the ear with the spud or the point of the pencil inflames the little glands whose duty it is to secrete the wax, and the more they are inflamed the more wax they secrete and the more they itch, until finally an abscess is the result, or such a secretion of wax as to seriously interfere with the hearing and requiring a surgical operation for its removal. The little cue of twisted paper acts in the same way. It is pleasant to titillate the ear, but the oftener it is done the ofcener it is required, and in many cases an absccss will result, accom- panied with great pain and much loss of time. Sometimes the youngsters will put a foreign substance in the ear and leave part of it. This can, in most cases, be readily removed, but in other cases it fur- nishes the “expert” with a most trying job of a half hour's duration, and extracts a $10 fee from the paternal pocketbook. The practical lesson from all this talk, is for the children to keep fingers away from the ears, and not only from the ears, but from the eyes, nosé and mouth. The clause in the catechism which says “and our fingers from picking and stealing” can be applied to this habit of picking at the ears, nose and eyes. The fingers are not made to ‘“‘monkey”’ with the features—they are potsonous when applied to such purposes, they inflame the organs that they touch. Keep your fingers away from yourselves and employ them about your features only in making the legitimate tollet. This is very much a habit, and a habit of Imitation; it will fequire only a mite of resolution for the child who has contracted a way of putting the point of the pencil into the ear to stop it, and if he sees a “pard” doing it, remind him of it. If our boys and girls will remember the warning of this paper, they will be saved much trouble, they will notice an improve- ment in their features, will have a happier Christmas, and I am certain they will, in the future, have brighter and roster NEW YEARS, ee Of Interest to Santa Claus.

If you want to gladden the inner man or lighten the heart of some poor friend, go to Poole's, 944 Louisiana avenue, and buy fancy New York Burbank potatoes at 72 cents per bushel. An investment of this king has the merit of utility. Try it. If you don’t know what you want, and would like to see it, go to the Rink. All the essentials to housekeeping are there. An annual clearance sale is in progress,and Merchant Julius Lansburgh promises to give a maximum of goods for a minimum of cash, Solid oak cheval chamber suites, quartered sawed oak chamber suites, all kinds of chamber suites in all kinds of wood and finish are on exhibition. Mirrors and hat racks, writing desks and china closets, and all the necessaries of domestic comfort save the hired girl and wife. It is only those who do not want to invest who can’t find what they want at the Rink. The spacious windows at Perry's, corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 9th _stree! contain a large and attractive display of all sorts of dry goods,from which any one should be able to select a present for man, woman or child, This large store is open evenings until Christmas, and the shattered put handsome presents within reach of only @ half-filled purse. What the firm calls “remnants” are being offered at a sacrifice, and they contain material enough for a gown or two instead of small odds and ends that are usually found on the remnant counter, Boxes of handkerchiefs and per- fumery as well as gloves are to be found among the dainty articles for presents, while plaids, cheviots, camel's hair and diagonals are offered at the shattered prices. While poets are writing of the beautiful snow, the readers of the have to pre- pare against the weather that invariably comes with the snow. A hot fire in a few minutes is what is wanted during such weather, and coke is the fuel that will do it. Send an order to the Washington Gas Light Company and it will be filled at short rotice at a cost of from seven and one- fourth to ten cents a bushel. Toys for the young folks and household goods for those who have families are just the things for the holidays, and a large sortment of them is to be found at 8. W. Augenstein’s, 439 7th street northwest,where @ box of fine candy is given each purchaser. Hand-painted chamber sets at $3.65 and beautiful French china tea sets at $5.85 are among the specialties, while mechanical trains of cars, skin horses and wagons and iron fire engines are sold at prices often raid for common toys. Twenty different styles of tin toys at seventeen cents. What present could be more desired than a reversible mattress? These mattresses are soft on both sides, and are no more expen- \ Sive than the one-sided filling. For sale by dealers throughout the city. The day now is when a sewing machine is as little of a luxury as good clothes. Every home that is fitted with “all mod- ern conveniences” in the way of plumbing and heating also has a sewing machine. It is one of the most important of the fur- nishings. The day is past, however, when @ sewing machine costs a small fortune. Just think of a machine selling for $13.50 with a five years’ guarantee! It seems preposterous, yet there is such a machine to be had at Auerbach’s, whose “Domestic rooms” at the corner of 7th and H streets are filled with just such bargains as these. This machine is made of beautiful antique oak and makes a handsome as well as a useful present for the holidays. If there is anything you want go to Flanagan. If you don’t know what you want for a Christmas present go to Flana- gan. He will show you charms and rings and watches and clocks, chains and pins and ornaments of rare designs. is is what Flanagan says, and Flanagan knows. He invites you to compare his stock and his prices with those of any oth a very fine assortment of watch he recommends. He calls i tion, too, to @ great variety of “charms” and of rings suitable for presents. If his goods do not prove as represented he prom- atten- ises to redeem them. Flanigan is at 531 7th street northwest. A good helpful suggestion just now in regard to what to select for a Christmas present is apt to be appreciated. For that reason Mr. Wash B.

The Insanity Plea Greatly Weakened | by the Prosecution. Yesterday was a dark day for Patrick Eugene Prendergast, Carter Harrison's murderer, at Chicago. His defense of in- sanity was weakened by the testimony of Dr. Dewey, ex-superintendent of the in- sane asylum at Kankakee, Ill, by the cross-examination of Experts Church and Brower and by the testimony of a large number of witnesses called by the state in rebuttal. The defense closed its case with exception of Dr. Meyer's testimony. He could not be found yesterday. City Circulator John H. Johnson of the Inter-Ocean and half a dozen of his em- ployes who came in contact with Prender- gast during his employment as a “route carrier” for several years were called by the state in rebuttal of the defense’s testi- mony to prove insanity. All the witnesses were of one mind—that was sane and knew the difference between t and wrong. The city circulator added that Prendergast was called into his office the day of the murder to answer a certain com- laint about the non-delivery of papers. feet it ex “I think he was sane up to 3 o’clock that afternoon,” the witness said, “and never him at any time of being in- Cumulative Bg meme vs Ae - aay vn msibility o: was given by <9 persona coming in contact with him in connection with his work for news- papers.
