The Chicago Inter Ocean says
that Mrs. Jefferson Davis is entitled
to a pension as the widow of veteran
of the Mexican war, as a precedent
was established in the Cooper case.
Samuel Cooper was soldier in the
Mexican war and also served as Con-
federate soldier. He died without ia
king the oath Of allegiance to the
Union, and when his widow applied
for pension the application was re.
fused by Commissioner Black, bnt lie
subsequently reconsidcred his action
and granted it. Mrs. Davis, however
is not likely to ask for pension, be
cause there will be no necessity fol
! er doing anything of tue kind. The
people of the South will see that sht
is we'll provided for States.

The ball will be opened on Wednesday
night, for which evening Acting Mayor
Cruise has called the Board Of Public
Works and the COMMITTEES on Streets, AL
leys and Grades. The gentlemen discussed
the matter informally for short time last

by no mans light job of ascertainiDg where
the money which viii probably be placed
at their disposal can he used to the best
advantage. Already the Beard Of Public
Works has before it 3 number of reeolu.
tions from COuncilmen, requesting that

been fixed. All the Board and commit
tees will meet, however, before or on next

represent about 100000 policies Many
people have more t1an one policy-and
