ANOTHER SAMPLE.

The record OF the past week has
shown up another interesting Incl
dent connected with our wonderful
pension system. During the admins
tration of President Arthur, Mrs. Eliz-
abeth l.. Harrison, widow of the
brother of President Harrison, made
application for a pension, alleging
that her husband had died FROM con-
sumption contracted in the army.
According to common report, the
case was pushed vigorously by Mr..
Harrison and others, but the pension
Office rejected the claim. 1t was re-
vived under President Cleveland, but
the pension officials completely ig-
nored it presumably, of course, be-
cause it had no merit. But when
President Harrison came into office
and put men of the Tanner and Raum
stripe in charge of pension affairs,
the case was speedily put upon its
certain way to success and few days
ago Mrs. Harrison got her dip at the
Treasury. She had waited long, but
she was well paid, for they gave her
the snug sum of So, 800 90 as back pay,
with handsome monthly allowance
as long as she lives. incidentally it
may be observed that Mrs. Harrison
never discovered that her husband
died from any exposure until twelve
years after his death-or at least she
did not put in her claim for pension
until that period Of time had elapsed.
So we have one more sample of the
way the peoples money goes in pen
sions. 1t really seems that the only
thing necessary to get pension under
this administration is TO put in claim.
Whether justly entitled TO it or not,
the money comes, especially if the
applicant stands in" with some one
at headquarters. Common sense
would seem to argue that when
pension claim has been rejected by
both Republican and Democratic
administration the matter was settled
and the claim without merit. But
this is not the. way things are run
under Harrison's reign.

Infancy to Old Ace.

Nothing is more remarkable than
the fact that q medicine which is pow
erful enough to cure the most horri-
BILE form of blood poisoning can be
given with impunity to a little child
that is ailing; and yet this is the record
of Swift's Specific 6. s. s. 1t is a
germ destroyer, a purifier, a great
remedial agent; it is powerful, and
yet harmless; it is a medicine that
contains no mineral poisons; all its re-
suits are beneficient; its compounded
from natures own laboratory, and
WORKS on natures lines to cure dis
ease; it restores, revives and reinvig-
crates the system; it may be used as
tonic by the most delicate woman; it
may be given to build up the consti-
tuition of little child, or it may be
employed to restore TO health the I'M
happy victim of blood poisoning. In
each case it will work wonderful re-
suits

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nouneed it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore re-
auires constitutional treatment. Halls

The Causes Of Nightmare.

DR.. J. II. Kellogg says: Nightmare
is condition of the nervous system
in which the cerebrum is active, but
there is no control of the lower part
of the brain which presides over mus
cular action. A person can think
and feel, but he cannot move. 1t
seems to be sort of temporary paral-
ysis of the muscles of motion. 1t is
sometimes caused by overheating the
spinal cord-feather beds are not en-
tirely out of fashion yet-and it is
also caused by a pressure of full
stomach upon the aorta. a person
should not go to bed Immediately
after eating hearty meal, if he does
nightmare may be one of the results.

White Waiter Girls In Virginia.

Mr.. j. Watkins Lee, manager of the
Rawley Springs, who was in Staunton
Saturday, said the colored men as
dining-room walters had given him so
much trouble in the past that for the
coming season he had engaged white
girls as walters. At the Hotel Inter
mont. the new and first-class hotel at
Covington, Allegheny, the proprietor
has also employed white girl walters.
At the Hotel Elkton, Rockingham,
the dining room is also waited on by
white waiter girls, every one of
whom are from Rockingham county.
Before opening the proprietor brought
on from New York an expert white
girl waiter, who drilled the new girls
in their duties. a Staunton lady,
who stopped there last week, says the
service is perfect. All the hotel
keepers in this section are beginning
to agree that the proximity OF the
great mountain watering places of
Virginia, which all open in the sum-
mer, makes it very difficult to retain
satisfactory colored dining-room help
i'm the towns or at the smaller water
ing places. and there is a general feel
ing among proprietors to end the
struggle by employing white girls.
Wherever the change has been tried
-Covington and Elkton-both the
travelling public and the hotel pro
prietors speak highly of the new ser
vice. -StduntOn indicator.
