Pension Decision Renewed.

WASHINGTON, April Assistant Sec
retary Bussey has ordereda decision on the
application of J. P. DAVIS for dependent
fathers pension on account of the death of
his son, Samuel, formerly of the 10th Ohio
Volunteers In 1868 the soldier was regi-
mental hospital nurse at Crab Orchard, KY.
One night feeling i'll he took a swallow of
tiDcture OF aconite mistaking it for brandy.
He nearly died at the time and never after
wards recovered. He died from a disease
of the lungs and all vital organs, produced
by poison. The former decisions, which
held that the soldiers death was not the
result of disability incurred in the line
of duty, but the result of his own indiscre-
tion, is reversed and application allowed.
The former rejection of the applications of
Wm L. Warwick, late private in the First
Pennsylvania Light Artillery, and John
DeIenzy, late Twelfth Illinois Volunteers,
are also reversed and claims allowed.

The Great English COmmOner at Rest
John Bright, whose death is lamented
throughout the civilized world, was born
at Greenbank, Ian ncashire, in 1911. He was
educated in a Yorkshir school belonging
to the Society of Friends. At the age Of
fifteen he was put to business by his father,
who was a cotton spinner. When, in 1888,
the Anti Corn League was formed in Man
chester, Mr.. Bright attached himself to it,
and in a few years was prominently assO-
ciated with Richard Golden in the agita-
ton conducted by that body. Its OPERA
tions soon discovered England with zea'ouo
supporters and resulted in the repeal of the
corn laws in the year 1916, measure due
in great part to Mr.. Bright's effective
oratory. In 1843 he entered Parliament as
representative Of the city of Durham. Four
years afterward he took his seat in the
House of Commons as member for Man
chester, which he continued during four
years. In 1857 Birmingham elected him
one of its members, and he represented
that constituency to his death. He was
President of the Board of Trade, 1868 II,
and Chancellor Of the Duchy of Lancaster,
1873 IA. Upon the advent of Mr.. Glad
stone to power in 1880, Mr.. Bright became
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster the
second time, but resigned in 1882, because
opposed to the policy Of the government
with regard TO Egypt. Mr.. Bright's views
on the Irish question were strongly op-
posed to those OF his friend Gladstone.
His services as a salesman were devoted
to the expansion of popular power. He was
a member of the Society of Friends and
opposed to war. In 1853 his eloquent voice
was raised in opposition TO the war with
Russia, made in that year by the allied
forces of England, France and Turkey,
who were subsequently strengthened by an
army from Sardinia. During the civil war
in this country he was an earnest friend OF
the Federal cause.

when wars or plaques are going on over
there. The rest of the time we must 60 to

WASHINGTON, March 31.-[Special. j
There has been lively fight between John
B. Cutlor, of Missoula, Mont, and Lewis A.
Walters, of Helena, over the Offices of Col
lector of Internal Revenue and Secretary
of the Territory. There has been lively
skirmish as to which of the applicants
would secure the office of his choice. Both
of them wanted to be Collector, and grow
ing out of this there was a brisk competi-
ton. Delegate Corbett finally settled it by
deciding to appoint Cutler Collector of In
ternal revenue and Walters Secretary.
Their appointments will, in all probability,
be sent to the Senate tomorrow. With
these two appointments will end the fight
over Montana patronage, during the pres.
ent session of the Senate. There is, how
ever, rumor that Judge Sidle will be
asked to resign, but hardly in time for a
successor to be named before the adjourn
ment of the Senate.

Threatened With Libel Suit.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Russell Harri-
son is stopping at the Gilsey House. 1t is
learned he came here in response to a
rumor of threatened suit for an article pub
lished by the Montana Live Stock Journal
company during April last, alleged to have
reflected upon the character of Ex-Governor
Schuyler Crosby, of that Territory. At the
time of its publication Russell Harrison
was President of the Montana Live Stock
Journal company. The same article first
appeared in the Buffalo Commercial, which
has since published retraction. The
Montana Journal copied the article from
the Buffalo Commercial, and therefore did
not originate the story. Crosby seeks per-
sonal retraction from Harrison, as well as
the publication of a retraction in the LiUe
Stock Journal Harrison has placed the
whole matter in the hands of his attorney,
VIM. A. Sweetzer, of this city, who states
that the Montana Liue Stock Journal will
publi proper retraction, as the Buffalo
paper had already done. Sweetzer says he
is of the opinion that such retraction by
the Montana Journal will be perfectly sat-
isfactory to Ex-Governor Crosby.

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE,
The Gifted Woman who Wrote "Uncle
Toms CabIn.''

u
Toms CabIn.'
The death of Mrs Stowe, from the decay
of her powers on account of old age, may
take place any day.
Harriet Beecher Stowe was born at
Li.chfield, Connecticut, June IA, 1912.
TIE first twelve years of her life were spent
in the intellectual atmosphere of Litch-
field, which was a famous resort of min
listers, judges, lawyers and professional
men of superior attainments. When about
twelve years of age she went to Hartford,
where her sister Catharine had opened
school. While there she was known as an
absent minded and moody young lady, odd
in her manners and habits, but fine
scholar, excelling especially in the writing
of compositions. In 1882, when her sisters
health failed, she went to Cincinnati, to
which place her father had removed, where
they opened school. On the 9Th of JAN
uary. 1886, she married Professor Calvin E.
Stowe, a man of learning and distinction.
For several years previous to her mar
rage she had contributed occasionally to
the periodical literature of the day, and
gave promise of becoming noted among
men and women of letters. At the meet
ing of the "Semicolon Club" in Cincinnati,
she first became conscious of the power she
could WELD with her pen, and shortly after
her marriage published The Mayflower,"
part of which had already appeared in the
papers of the "Semicolon Club" From this
time her life flowed quietly along for
several years in domestic channels, until
the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law.
Then one definite purpose arose in her
mind-to show up slavery as it really was;
and her earnest convictions at that time
laid the corner stone for Uncle Toms
Cabin" which was first published, as a
serial, in the National Era. Within six
months after its republication in book
form over 10000 copies were sold. In
England 10000 were ordered by the book.
sellers in one month 1t was translated
into Spanish, Italian, French. Danish,
Swedish, Dutch, Flemish, German, Polish
Magyar, Arabic and Armenian. In 1852
Mrs Stowe took up her residence at An
dover. and soon after went abroad to re-
cuperate her exhausted strength. Her
visit was one continuous ovation, and a
year later she gave to the public her
sunny Memories of Foreign Lands" Sub
seQuently she wrote "Dred: A Tale of the
Dismal Swamp" THE Minister'S Wooing;"
Agnes of Sorrento" and several novels of
quiet domestic interest. This gifted
woman has produced poetry, some of
which has been published. 1t is chiefly
religious and pathetic in character.
In 1864 Mrs Stowe built beautiful
residence in Hartford, where she has since
chiefly resided. She has spent her winters
in Florida.
