Two Cincinnati women thought they
would make a fortune by opening res
taurant and hanging out a sign
Home Cooking Here" But the pat
ronage was so poor that they
were threatened with bankruptcy,
when a recently married man advised them
to change the sign so as to read, "No Home
Cooking Here" They are now doing a
rushing business, and will soon retire with

Invalid Pensions.
OLD LAW,

Persons disabled to any degree for the per-
formance of manual labor, by reason of any
wound or injury received or disease con-
tracted in the line of duty while in the mill
tary service of the United States, are en-
titled to pension. The lowest rate under
this law is 50 month and the highest rate,
for loss of both hands, is S100 per month.
For disability equivalent to severe stiffness
of the wrist or ankle joint. SS per month is
allowed. For disability almost equal to
loss OF hand or a foot, SIT. For disability
equivalent to the loss of hand or a foot,
S24. For total inability to perform any
manual labor, $50. For disability requir-
ing the regular aid and attendance of an
other person, S72. Pension begins from the
date of originally filing the application or,
if filed before July l, 1880, from the date OF
discharge.
Increase of pension is granted with in
crease of disability. Many pensioners are
entitled to higher pensions than they are
now drawing. But increased ratings are
not made without application therefor.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-07-03
NEW LAW.

Any person who served go days or more
in the military or naval service OF the
United States during the late war and has
been honorably discharged, now suffering
from mental or physical disability of a
permanent character, not the result of his
own vicious habits, which incapaeitates him
from the performance of manual labor in
such a degree as to render him unable to
earn support, is entitled to pension at the
rate of from S6 to S12 per month, propor-
toned to the degree of inability to earn a
support, beginning from the date OF filing
the application in the Pension Office after
the passage of the new law, July 1, 1890
The disability need not be traced to the
service in any manner. Its present exist
ence is all that is required. Persons placed
upon the pension roll under this law are not
entitled to any rate of pension in excess of
S12. To obtain a higher pension than this
rate they must apply under the old law and
establish the connection of their present dis
ability with the service.

The telegraph service from Fond
du Lac to GAINESVILLE is of a very poor
order at present, owing to the fact that
the single wire on which all the COM
mercial business along the line is done
is old and rotten. It was put up a gen.
Grafton ago and is said to be the worst
piece of wire in the Northwest. The
Fond du Lac operator long ago gave up
the idea of using it except where abso-
lutely necessary, doing all the business
of the office, when possible, over other
wires. It has become tickle wire and
lets half it's ticks at times seep into the
earth or air, nobody knows which. 1t
is so troublesome to work that the
GAINESVILLE operator has secured permits
sion to shut off all business from points
north of him whenever he feels like il,

Grover Cleveland would be renomin-

tirely upon the action of New York.
If New York delegates to the next
Democratic convention come united
as to the nomination of Cleveland he
will be nominated if they are not
thus united he will not benominated.
In case they are not thus united we
might easily find a good, strong can
didate in Ohio in the person of Gov.
Campbell. say that if Gov. Camp
bell should again carry Ohio. thus
showing the state to be permanently
with the Democratic party, we would
most likely nominate Campbell. In
case Gov. Campbell should not again
carry Ohio and New York should not
be united on Cleveland we might go
over to New Jersey and find a candi-
date in Gov. Albeit" In answer to
the question as to whether Indiana
was likely to be an important factor,
Mr.. Watterson said: Eyes and Isaac

EDGAR w. COLEMAN, editor of The
Milwaukee Herold, announces that
he will bolt Hoard if he is renominat-
ed by the Republicans. The Bennett
law is the cause of it, and Mr.. Cole
man says that, too, must berepealed.
The Herold is a very strong and in
fuential Republican newspaper. The
attention of The Milwaukee Sentinel
is called to the fact that the Demo-
Gratis do not seem to be the ones who
are making the Bennett law an issue
in Milwaukee city politics this spring.
La Crosse Chronicle Dem.)
The Sentinel is we'll aware of that
fact. The Bennett law is both at
tackled and supported by Republicans
and Democrats. This only goes to
show, what we have maintained all
along, that it is not a party measure,
and that there is nothing in it that
should cause Democrat to oppose
it because he is a Democrat Or q Re-
publican to support it because heis q
Republican. Republicans such as Mr..
Coleman oppose it because they are
really opposed to it; but the Demo
cratic editors such as Mr.. Usher op-
pose it not because they believe it is
wrong, but because they think it can
be used to inject a few Democratic
politicians into salaried offices. There
is mighty sight of difference between
the opposition of Der Herold or The
Germania, and the opposition of such
snakey journals as The La Crosse
Chronicle, The Oshkosh Times and
The GAINESVILLE Recorder, or such con-
temptible ward politicians as those
who constitute the Democratic clubs
of this town. We fancy that Coleman
must experience some humiliation in
being forced to train with such people.
