The work was artistically sung by the choir, the arts being balanced and the whole sustained v an accompaniment by Salisbury orchestra, During the offertory was interpolated (fa- pocchs “Laudate Pucrt, which was sung y Licutenaut Kinzie and a chorus of twenty voices. The composition is a lengthy one, but s0 sweet, s0 expressive and so grand that little note was made of the time 1ts ren- dition required. Lieutenant Kinzie was in excellent voice and the chorus sang with unison and expression. An orchestral ac- companiment was specially prepared for the ieco by Mr. Salisbury, which the orchestra aithfully renaered.

Someof theold keys which hang fif the office of the foreman of the watch force look as though they might have been in uso since the erection of the treasury building. They are old-fashioned, ponderous and heavy and look out of place in a modern institution. Of course the vaults themselves, in which the evormous stack of gold and silver ave stored, are protected with the most approvea appliances in the way of time- locks, and besides this they are guarded by armed men every night, as'well as every hour in the day, and it would make very ht- tle difference to the safety of the public funds if the doors leading to the vaults were protected with all the most complicated me- chanieal devices for keeping out the prowler with burglarious tendencies. Still it is thought that the time has arrived when some other method might safely be adopted forthe proteciion of the treasury doors thau that which the bastilian lock of the last century furnishes. One of the things which strikes the for- eign visitor as strange when he passes by the treasury building at night is the appar- ent indifference as to safety for the wealth of the nation which seems to pervade the atmosphere the meighborhood of the vamfs This is es- pecially troo whdp The foreigner proves to be a resident df ‘London.

Recent Division of ¥ Pats More Work on the Moines Office— Other towa News, Districts sion Dis Motses, la., April 12 Bie. | —Attention has once more been at tracted to the defunct prohibition amend- ment supposed to have been adopted by the majority of the people of Towa nine ago. Some time ago, as was noted dispatehes, the state temperance alliance, through its president, filed a potition in the district court for » mandamus to compel the secrotary of state to furnish said president a certified copy of the constitution of the state with said amendment as a part thereof, viz Section 20 of articlo 1. It was soon found that the first petition was a groat blunder and would not accomplish the desired object, which was toopen the question of the validity of the amendment and have it again passed upon by the supreme court, with the possible result of fastening it upon the peoplo at a time when it is exceodingly doubtful if a majority woula be in favor of it. Hence, the pust week an amended and substitute petition was filed, whigh, stripped of its verbiage, states that one J.'A. Harvey has asked for a_copy of tho « titution of the state with the amend ments thercto; that the secretary of state in- clude in such certificato the amendment re- forred to, and that plaintiff asks that he be compelled to do so by appropriate order. By this socoud petition the._alliance proposes to stand or fall. Since its presentation and publication the opinious of a number of prom ment lawyers have been obtained to the effect that this petition would not enable the prohibition amendment to be opened bofore the supreme court. One attor- ney gave it as his opinion that if tho alliance attorneys really wieh to reach the supreme court they should commence proceedings for doing something which is forbidden in the awendment in gucstion and vermitted by the present law. Hundreds of such cases could be found. ‘The lower court would undoubtedly hold that there was no cause for action because the supreme court had annulled the amendment, and the case would be dismissed on demurrer. 'rom this decision the appeal could be t: and t tho constitutioual question would ve direct] poked at the upper court. PAYMENT OF PENSIONS, The recent order of tho seereta terior dividing the peusion ofiicers of the country into three groups and making the times of payment different in each group, will entaii considerable extra work upon the Des Moines agency, which pays pensions for tho district comprised of the States of Iowa and Nebraska, The change will make the quarterly payments come a month later thun at present, or on the 4th of January, Apri!, July and October. But the regular June 4 payment will have to be made by the groun containing the Des Moines agedcy, and then another payment for one month's dues on July 4. " The work of paying this one month will, of course, entail just as much work as if it were for three months, and will be just that much moro than the regular work of the force. Some extra clerk hire will likely be allowed, but. the most of the work will have to be dono by the present force during extra hours, It was hoped the June payment would be al- lowed to run over and four month’s dues be paid July'4, but the department decided that this would not bo fair to the dependent vet- erans, many of whom would doubtless suffer much’ inconvenience by the deluyed pay. ment. The Des Moines agency is one of the most importanc in the country, having on its rolls at the cnd of March 35,913 pensioners, a net increase of 4,74 since March 31 a yeur ago. During that time the additions by origmal pensions, transfers and restorations havo been 5,977, and the loss from aeaths, transfers, unclaimed, dropped and remarried have been 1,119, The increase under the de- pendent pesion act of June 27, 1890, has been [Special to T of thein- COLONEL BALLINGALL'S FUNERAL.

All the urrangements have been made and it is probable it will be one of the most elubor- ate occasions of the kind ever beld in Ottumwa. Letters have heen received from twenty-five of the senatorial collcagues of the late colonel, stating that they will attend the funeral and a large del- egation of the Hotel Keepers’ association wil also attend. The funeral services will be held in the coal palace, and the stores gener- ally in the city will be closed durmng the services.

RAILWAY VICTORIES IN THI: COURTS, Judge Wakefield, presiding over the dis- trict court in Lyon county, has decided that freight originating and ending in Iowa,which passes out of the state and then into it again in reaching its destination s Interstate freight. The lowa law says it shall be called state traftic and the commissioners had so de- termined becauso the statutes said so. Now Judge Wakefield says that part of the Iowa law is unconstitutional. Judge Holmes of the Polk county district court yesterday handed down a docision in the Leslie station case, in wtich suit was brought by the railway commission to en- force an drder made by them requiring the Des Momnes & Kansas City railyay company t reopen a station at Leslie, The judge diswissed the case, giving a_decidea victory to the railway company and a rebuff to tho commissioners, as well as a great surprise to them and the public. The station was aban- doned in 135, but two others, one on each side of Leslie a few miles, were established, and tho judge thought 'that ought to bo sufficient i a distance of fourtcen mites. The people of Lestie claimed they had donated station grouuds, but the company denied it, and as no aced wus_ever recordeit the court would not consider it. The company denied that the court had jurisdiction to enforeo tho orders of the commissioners, but the court ruled that it had.

'Phoy packed themsel psely together as th space would bermit when Brady and b camera arrived.

The result was most sutis factory. The next part of the programme was o picture of the mon with their hats off aud all the preliminaries for this triumph of art had been arranged when an unlooked for diversion occurred. A photographer named Prince drove up in a wagon and unloaded his camera directly in front of Brady's instru ment. Nothg could induce him to move on und he quietly supe loading of his effects despite the protests of Brady. He adjusted his machine alongside of Brady's and prepared to help himself. ‘The crowd on the steps were growinz impa- tient in the meantime. They had posed time and again.

The action was so palpably unfair that the inventors forgot to posc and gave ‘vent toa prolongea howl of indignation. This did not disturb Prince. He went right along with his business and while Brady was arguing with his colored man Prince was focusing the inventors. He got two wood plates and would have gotten more, but Secretary Noble took a hand in the matter, and the result was that in a few moments a patrol wagon dashed around the corner and half a dozen policemen jumped o the ground, In the midst of the excitement 17 folded up his tentand silontly stolo awny, “The incident so unnerved the inventors that they refused to pose any more and Prince was the sole beneficiary of the occasion, Brady had his mad up, however, and_he had Price arested.
