The OR1e1N OF "HA1L CoLuMp1A.

The OR1a1N OF "HAIL CoLuMp1A." Z"
In the year 1908, when patriotic
feeling pervadcd the country, and
when there were several parties in
the field, Mr.. Fox, q young player,
who was more admired for his vocal
than histrionie powers. called on
morning upon his friend, Mr.. Hopkin-
!, son, and after stating that the follow
ing evening had been appointed for
his benefit, and expressing a great
Z fear for the result. rs not a single
box had been taken: begged his friend
to do something in his behalf. "lf"
said Fox. "you will write me some
patriotic verses to the tune of the
Presidents March, | feel sure Of .
full house. Several of the people about
the theatre have. attempted it, but
, they have come to the conclusion that
it cannot be done: yet think you may
succeed" Mr.. Hopkinson retired to
his study, and in short time wrote
the first verse and chorus, which was
submitted to Mrs. Hopkinson, who
sang them at piano accompaniment,
and proved the measure to be com.
patible and in keeping. In this way
the second and other verses were writ
ten, and when Mr.. Fox returned in
The evening, he received with delight
the song as ii now stands.
The following morning, small hand
bills announced that Mr.. Fox womld
sing new patriotic song, etc. The
theatre was crowded; the song was
sung and received with rapture; it was
repeated eight times, and again en-
cored; aid when sung the ninth time,
the whole audience stood up and join
ed in tho chorus. Night after night,
a"Hail Columbia" cheercd the visions Of
the theatre, and in few days it was
the universal song of the boys in
the streets, from one end Of the city to
the other. Nor was the distinguished
author of this truly national song-a
song which met the entire appreciation
Of all parties of the day-forgot,cn.
The street in which he resided on
one occasion was crowded, ''and "Hail
Columbia" broke on the stiffness of
midnight from hundred patrio.
tic voices.

The annexed Article which we .lip
from the New York Herald sill prove
interesting especially topensioners aid
their descendants:
~ statement appeared in the Re-
public, with reference to a contested
case in the Pension Office, affecting the
construction, heretofore placed upon
the law granting pensions to- widows
aud children Of deceased soldiers
lhe matter was not at all correctly
stated, and as it is one of Importance,
l give the following as the facts The
law i'll question provides that in case
Of the death Of the widow of a soldier,
then the pension shall revert to the de.
ceased soldiers children. There the
law stops; but Secretary Thomas Ew-
ing decided that although the act u
Congress goes no further than to the
children, the common law steps in and
carries to any other heirs. This decis.
ion has governed the matter since
Gov. McCleIland, tho present Secreta-
ry of the Interior, has, however, de.
cided that this construction Of the law
is wrong. If the Pension law had
passed previous to the enlistment and
service Of the soldier, then it would
have formed part of his emoIument
for service, and as such would come
under the provisions of the common
law, like any other property, to the
extent Of even being liable for his
debts. But it was law passed after
the service had expired, and formed nc
part Of the contract for service. The
pension is simply gratuisy given by
Congress after the governmeet had full.

wards the soldiers, and as such can on.
ly be used to the extent the terms Of
the act authorized, and no further
This cuts of q largo number of claim,
ants, but the decision is manifestly in
accordance with the law"
Gov. McClelland, the Secretary OF
the Interior, has asked the Attorney
General for an opinion on the point OF
law involved.
