MINOR MATTERS,
Fraudulent Pensioners-Cases Where 1t Is
Wise to Let Well Enough Alone.
al 10 fba md

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Since the advent of
the present administration quite number of
fraudulent pensioners have been caught up and
stricken from the rolls. They believed that the
Democratic party would be willing that they
should have increase of pension, although
they were not entitled to any pension at all.
Thousands of men have been caught in the same
trick, but the proportion since the 4th of March
has been much larger than for any other period
of time for the same length. When an applica-
ton is made for an increase of pension an in
vestigation is generally made into the facts
relating to the pensioners proof of disability,
and often an almost complete set of testimony
Is required. When the cases are thus reopened
it places the pensioner upon the defense, and he
is required to again prove his right to pension
There is no surprise greater, probably to man
applying for an increased pension than the in
formation that it is ascertained that he is not
entitled to any pension at all, and that his name
has been stricken from the rolls. There is an
old adage about letting good enough alone which
should be learned by Democratic pensioners

Captain Browns ship come backl" We inquired
if il were American ship, and she answered
it was. We told her no such ship was then in
port. Sadly she turned and walked away. A
few weeks later she returned with the Same
question only to get the same answer. After a
number of such visits we became interested and
one day detained and questioned her. We soon
discovered her mind was pretty nearly blank.
She only knew that she had married Jamie, and
that shortly afterward he had shipped as
sailor on Captain Browns vessel, and she was
waiting for him to come back
From others who knew her we learned the
particulars of her sad story. When Young girl
she married sailor lad to whom she was pas
sionately devoted. His first voyage after his
marriage was made on an American sailing
vessel, commanded by Captain Brown. The ship
and all on board were lost at sea- When she
learned of this the blow crushed her utterly and
detnroned her reason. She recovered her health,
but could never be made to understand that
Jamie could never come back to her. And for
thirty years she had been making her regular
visits to the consulate with the unvarying in
quiry. Has Captain Browns ship come back9"

anxiety at her husbands long absence not APP
