WASHINGTON, June 10.-Assistant
Secretary Bussey has reversed de-
cision of the commissioner of pensions
who rejected the claim of Della q. Alb
ernathy (now Rice), mother of Albert
b. Alternately, Company B, Twenty
second regiment Michigan infantry, on
the ground that the pension was not
filed prior to the act of June ~. The
appellant was pensioned under the gen.
eral law from July 90, 1868, to March
"a, 1860, the date of her re.marriage, as
the dependent mother Of the soldier.
On October 1, 1890, she applied for PEN
sion under the act of June "a, 1890, which
was rejected on the ground that having
remarked after the date of the soldiers
death and prior to filing the claim, there
was no pensionable period for which she
could be- l,ensioned. General Bussey
holds that the first section Of the act
June 90, 1889, and one which differs
materially from the provisions of Sec
ton 47OS, is that it makes no bar to the
granting Of a pension or to the continu-
ance thereof after having been granted,

held and her name dropped from the
rolls, nor her pensionable rights for
feited by her marriage, under the act Of
June 27, 1870. He therefore reverses
the action of the pension office and di-
rects that the pension be allowed from
the date Of filing under the act Of June
81, 1890, provided. there shall appear
satisfactory evidence of present parental
dependence.
Electro-rechnical Exhibition.
WASHINGTON, June 1O.-United States
Consul Mason has sent to the state de-
partment giving an account OF the OPEN
ing of the electro-technical exposition,
at Frankfort-on-the-Main. The e1posit-
ion, he says when opened, was incomplete
owing to bad weather and delay of con-
stTuction caused thereby, the imperial
post, telegraph and railway depart
ments, as well as the general telegraphic
and telephone exhibits being about the
only features really complete. One Of
the features of tho exposition will be a
determination by competent jury of
the relative merits and efficiency of the
different systems of electric car pro-
pulsion, including overhead and under
ground wires, and shortage batteries.

Jack put his little fat forefinger in

"Will you, Val-dear Val?" pleaded
Jack. How could I refuse to say "Yes?"

His sweet eyes frightened, and he

me vigorously. "You may marry papa;

me. You may kiss Val now, papa" he
added, magnanimously. "And if you
can't be married now, we must come
tomorrow and fetch you away"

A RELIC OF DUELING DAYS.

How tho Two Buttons Came to Be on the
Back of the Frock Coat.
For many years the two buttons have
figured at the waist line of the back Of
the mans skirt or frock coat. Now,
why are they there? For ornament and
effect? Not so originally, for these two
buttons were at their beginning for SER
vice and not for decoration. If you put
their inception back into the time when
the big square art embroidered and
gorgeously-lined overcoats were worn,
two centuries ago, and when the gal
.lants of the time were won't to 60 forth
on dress-parade with the sword at the
side and ready to resent any informal
ity of etiquette, you will find that in or
der to reach the side-arm more readily
the skirts of the coat were turned back
in reverse-shaped way and buttoned
or Topped upon two buttons at the back
placed as these are at the present day.
In this way they secured an immunity
from drapery when the command came,
''Draw and defend yourself" and at the
same time exploited q segment of the
rich inside of the skirt of the coat in q
very effective way. The tinsel, the
side arm, the court etiquette, the duello
and the gorgeous lowered texture OF
the coat have gone before, but those
two buttons remain on the tail-coats OF

The Earl of Derby in an address to
the Scientific and archaeological School
of Liverpool, an institution of which he
was one of the founders, said:
"Having known men of many profess

lives are those which have been devoted
to science. Every step is interesting,
and the success of those who do succeed
is lasting.
"What General, what orator, what

The happy people are they who have

A MESSAGE OF LOVE.

Now what In the world will my lady say'
My mind is in wild disorder
As tear the dainty paper apart,
When out falls a blood red velvet heart,
With row Of pins for q border!
Well, pick up the pretty, useless thing.
And love it, for here did her fingers cling;
Yet can not choose but wonder
Is it an emblem, symbol true;
Will she pierce my heart SO, through and
through,
Till it's depths are torn asunder!
think how harsh word hurts and stings;
think Of q thousand hard, cruel things;
For one gains with love- and one loses.
Then 1 think OF my dear ones sweet pure face,
And my heart again at her feet place
Let her plant there just what she choosesl
And her pin-cushion-why. without doubt,
The pins were meant to be tiksn cut!
How blind have been and stupid!
So this is the message she sends today:
She will take each sting from my heart away,
And undo the work of Cupid!
