A Pension Case in Which the Question of
Total Disability Appears-The Pension
Bureaus Action Revised by Assistant
Secretary Busy. 81
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.--Assistant Sec
retary Bussey has revised the action of
the Pension Bureau in the case of Daniel
A. Wood, late private Company K, First
West Virginia Cavalry, who claimed a
re-rating for total disability. This
claim was disallowed by the Commits .
sioner, who held that the condition OF
the pensioner as described by the sur
geon was not considered permanent"
At the last examination, held July 5,
1889, the claimant stated that he had at no
time within eighteen months been able
to get out of bed unaided, or even to sit
up in bed. The surgeon reported that he
found evident total disability of both
lower extremities, and he expressed the
opinion that in this climate the disa-
bility having existed so long is liable to
become permanent. He recommended
a first-grade pension. The claimant
had already received two increases from
July 5, 1887, from six to twenty-fonr dol
lars per month, and before this report
the Commissioner allowed him further
increase to thirty dollars. General
Bussey, however, thought that his con-
iition as described by the surgeon could
properly be termed permanent disabil-
ity, and directs that his pension be in
creased to fifty dollars per month.

Helping Himself to Cbestputs

"Roasted chestnuts, ten cents a pint" was
the sign on a smoking rooster on Capitol Hill
yesterday. Eddie Norris, a small colored boy
saw the sign and wanted some chestnuts, but
he didn't have the 10 cents. He knew that
there were some chestnuts in the Capitol
grounds and he could roast them on his moth
er's stove without it costing him anything. So
Eddie proceeded to the chestnut tree and with
a large stick he brought down the chestnuts
from the burs.
He had gathered about a pint Of the nuts
when q Waterman came along and spoke to
him about walking under the tree on the ivy
The boy objected to outside interference and
used language toward the Waterman that was
not very choice. Although he made desper-
ate resistance the Waterman landed him in the
station house, and today Judge Mills charged
him $40 for the chestnuts. The chances are
that the bill will never be paid.
