Is referred all questions of doubt as to the
meaning of pension laws, has made o number
of favorable rulings on claims which have been
pending for number of years. Among the

Evans, late Of Company Il, Fifty.fourth Ohio.
One of Evans comrades, while playing, threw
piece Of iron which struck him on the leg,
causing compound fracture, which has re-
NAMED running sore ever since. The former
action was taken on the ground that the in.
Jury was not received while in the line of duty.
Several like cases have met with favorable
rulings on the part of Secretary Bussey, and
the claimants thus secure their pensions. PEN
SION Commissioner Tanner 70 also helping along
the good work, having decided In one case that
comrades pension should be increased from
$50 to $72 he having lost both feet in action,
but owing to the peculiar amputation he was
left the heel bone covered with flesh sufficient
to make q stub foot, and for that reason had
been rated as entitled to only $50.

CASINO MUS EUM.

The theatrical season is very near the end
now. The Bijou Theater will probably close
the last week of this month. The Grand Opera
House may stay open little little longer,
but very little. Mr.Wilt said yesterday: AFTER
the Ideals we have Riee's Burlesque Company
with The Corsair,' for three nights and mat
inee, and 'Evangeline' for the rest of the
week. For the week Of May 20 Lew Dock
stader's Minstrel Company is the attraction, to
be followed by Sponsors Little Tycoon If
Mr.. Spenser can give another opera NAV
make deal with him to stay at the Opera
House for week or two. Then the season
will close.
Harris Theater and the Academy Of Music
will not shut down until the hot weather sets
in, and then presumably only for the brief vaca-
ton usually taken.
Mr.. Shedden is coming back to sound health
slowly but surely. 1t would have been very un-
fortunate for the Bijou Theater as well as for
him If this sudden prostration had prevented
him from resumIng his place In the manage
ment Of that theater. 1t is always hard to tell
the exact proportion of credit due to each indi-
vidual when several gentlemen are working
together in the management of theater. as IS
the case at the Bijou, but is certainly only lust
to say that Mr.. Shedden contributed by his
judgment In Dook1ng, by the use OF his rare per.
sonal qualities Of courtesy and inEuitive ntelli.
gence In handling the public and theatrical
people, not little to the wonderful success of
the Bijou during the past season. Mr.. Gulick
has been fortunate in his choice of Mr.. Shedden
as his lieutenant, and it is pleasant to be able to
state that Mr.. Shedden will be able to return to
his post in time to attend to his work for next
season.
So
Considering that this is the second week in
May, Pittsburg is in luck to have the Boston
Ideals at one house and Frank Mayo at the
other.

THE success of the Howard Athep@um Com.
pany at the Bijou this week will probably result
next season in any number Of variety com.
panies seeking admission to the frst-ciass
theaters. The Howard Athen8um Is q pleas
ant entertainments for q change, but it
would hardly pay the managers or
tickle the public to have variety shows more
than once or twice in season ON the boards
of the legitimate drama. HEPBURN JOHNS.
