Time to Call a Hall.
There is in Congress no better friend
0? the ex-soldier than Senator Galliu-
_ gtr,of New Hampshirethe chairman of
the Senate Committee I on Pensions.
Yet, in a brief but forcible speech in
the Senate on Thursday lasc, Mr. Gal-
linger gave warning that the time had
come when a halt must- be called in the
matter of private pension legislation.
In the course of his remarks he gave
some interesting figures regarding pen-
sion bills. Since the beginning of this
Congress 9713 private bills have been
introduced in the Senate and 1,650 in
the House, making a total of 2,635.
Many of these bills, however, were
duplicate, making the net number
about 2,000. I
Senator ,Gallinger appealed to his
colleagues to aid him in weeding out
unworthy cases. “It seems to me,”
said he, “that bills are introduced with-
out examination ‘and without inquiry,
upon simply the request; of the soldier
who has had his claim rejected at the
Pension Bureau, The result is that in
this one committee room there. are to-
day over 1,000 bills engaging attention,
and correspondence concerning those
bills is coming to the committee from
all over the country.” .Senator Gal-
l‘inger, therefore, requested Senators
to individually examine and satisfy
themselves that the bills have some
merit before they send :them to the
pension committee.

Snoring Scores.
There is no telling, says the New Ha-
ven Journal and Courier, what discom-
fort and misery are caused by snoring,
Snoring banished sleep from those
obliged to hear it and therefore unable
to snore themselves. It hurts and even
destroys love. What refined young wom-
man or young man can hear her or his
loved one snoring and not have her or-
his love shocked?- And have we not re-
cently read of divorce suits based on
the fact that love has been slain by
snares? Little can be said in favor of
snoring,but that little ought to be said,
for the snoring habit is prevalent and
persistent, and in‘most cases it is not
wicked. Those who snork can’t help it,
although, sometimes their Isnorking-
could be mitigated by less indulgence
in ,eatlng and drinking. When itcan
be so mitigated ans isn’t it is wicked.
Those who snore either piously or
wickedly, and have hitherto had 110 de-
fense to offer for it will be somewhat
sustained by a development which has
just developed in Milwaukee, and they
will hereafter be able to say that snor-
ing may save them from prison or even
from the gallows. It appears that Rob-
ert Wagner of Milwaukee has been
saved from going to the penitentiary
because he is the oviner and user of a
peculiar ear-piercing, nerve-shattering
snore. Robert. it seems, owneda wal e-
house which burned the other night
under circumstances which indicated
- incendiarism. He was arrested and a
clear case of circumstantial evidence
was made out against him. At the last ,
moment two nieces proved a complete
alibi for him by swearing that during
the night in question they were kept
awake by their uncle’s snore, which
was as regular and persistent that night
as usual, and wasIfully identified by
them.
Score One, therefore, for snoring. It
is only one, to be sure, but one is more
than none. Perhaps we shall soon hear
that a snorer has scared away burglars,
_ or that thOSe who have been kept-
3wake by a snorer have.

Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish 1n relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the 111 inary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-

beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up

lohn McLaughlin’s Departure
from Noroton Explained.
Cashed a Spurious Check in a Stamford
Bank and Has Not Since Been 861111.
There disappeared several weeks ago
from Nor-own one John McLaughlin,
of whom Dr. Ira Boice of that place is
anxious to learn the present where-
abouts. With the exception of what
little surprise McLaughlin’s disappear-
ance had occasioned at the time, noth-
ing was thought of it, until, ashort
time later, the reason for his strange
and sudden departure became known.
McLaughlin had forged a. check for I

mons- and Dr. Boice’s endorsement,
and had succeeded in cashing the same
at the Stamford Trust Company, on the
same day of his disappearance from
Noroton.
The matter was immediately placed
in the hands of Prosecuting Attorney
Carter, but we. 3 kept quiet in the hope
ford. It was reported that he returned
a week or two since, but, if so, he sucI-
ceeded in escaping again.
McLaughlin had been in the employ
of Dr. Boice for the past two years as a
stable hand. He was regarded as an
upright, honest man, his only faults be-
ing a weakness for strong drink, in
which he occasionally indulged to free-
ly, and a dislike for hard work. Not-
withstanding these failings his employ-
er took au unusual interest in him, dis-
played by various kindnesses, which
McLaughlin repaid as already told, - in
a most unexpected manner. McLaugh-
lin, it is said, has a wife living in Stam-
ford.
