d1arrhea. In 1880 he filed a claim
Tor pension, alleging chronic
dlarrhGa, resulting in piles, which
was allowed in January, 1881. Lang
don died OF consumption in September,
the same year. His widow filed her
claim for pension in December, 1881, bas-
ing 1t upon the ground that her husbands
death from consumption was due to the
dlarrhea, for which he was pensioned.
In disapproylng the bill, the President
says: THE claimants application for
pension was rejected by the Pension
Bureau, on the ground that the cause of
her husbands death was not shown to
have been connected in any degree with
the disease on account of which he
was pensioned, or with his
military service. I am entirely satisfied
that this determination was correct. | am
constrained to disapprove the bill under
consideration, because it is thus far our
settled and avowed policy to grant pen
sions only to widows whose husbands
have died from causes related to military
service, and because the proposed legis-
lation would, in my opinion, result in
discrimination in favor of this claimant,
poor widows who are equally entitled to
our sympathy and benevolence.
The other Senat bill vetoed was one
granting pension to Betsy Mansfield,
the mother Of t. j. Mansfield, who en-
listed as private in April, 1861, and who
died in camp in November of the same
year. This bill the President vetoes, be-
cause the claimant appears not to have
been dependent in the least degree upon
the soldier at the time of his death.
The third bill vetoed is House bill
granting a pension to Laura A. Wright,
widow of Charles H. Wright who was
pensioned for gun-shot wound received
in the service in 1864, and who in 1884
committed suicide, because, as is alleged
by the claimant, of temporary insanity
caused by pain resulting from the wound
In dismissing this bill the President
says: "We have within our borders thou
sands of widows living in poverty, and
some of them in need, whose dead hus-
bands fought bravely and well
in defense of the Government, but
whose deaths were not occasioned by any
incident of military service. In these
cases the wives long vigils at the bed Of
wasting disease, the poverty that came be-
fore the death, and the distressing doubt
and uncertainty which darkened the fut-
ure have not secured to such widows the
aid Of our pension laws. With these in
sight, the bounty Of the Government may,
without injustice, be withheld from one
whose soldier husband received a pension
for nearly twenty years, though all that
time able to work, and who, having
reached stage Of comfortable living,
made his wife widow by destroying his
own life"

| mold, Passes Away Suddenly at Liverpool
While Awaiting His Daughters Arrival

| Life and Works.

! Of Orel College; and from 1916 to 1851 was
! private secretary to Lord Lansdowne. Having
married, Mr.. Arnold received an appointment
as one OF the lay inspectors of schools under
! the committee Of the council OF education. In
l849h he published anonymously a small volume
of poems under the title of 1.-THE Strayed Rev
| eler and other Poems" In 1852 a second vol
ume appeared, "Empedocles on Etna, and
other Poems. In 1853 new volume was is
sued in his own name, followed by a second
series, the two containing selections from the
previous collections along with some fresh
rieces. On May 5, 1851 Mr.. Arnold was elected
professor of poetry in the University OF Ok
ford. His later noteworthy works are

LONDON, April 17.-On Saturday eve
ring Mr.. Matthew Arnold, while awaiting
in Liverpool his daughters arrival from
New Y Ork, was in exuberant spirits, and
made running jump over railing nea'
the house, though DIR. Sir Andrew Clark
knowing his liability to heart disease,
had warned him against any sudden exer-
ton. Sunday, still in high spirits, he
went out for a walk with Mrs. Arnold.
Soon after starting, he suddenly fell for
ward and never spoke again, but died a
few moments later. The physicians as
cribe his death to heart disease.
The PdU Mall Gazette asserts that En-
gland has become poorer by the death Of
one of her most richly gifted sons, and
English literature has lost the one who
has shed the most luster upon it of any
writer of the Victorian age.
1t is not intended to hold an inquest up
on the body, DIR. Little, to whose resi-
dence Mr.. Arnold was carried, having de-
cided that the eminent scholar died from
syncope, to avert which he was formerly
treated by DR.. Sir Andrew Clarke. The
body will be brought to London to-day.
Mr.. Arnold's father died from angina
peetoris.
