VETERANS HOME.
Old Soldiers Will Be Required to
Give Up Their Pensions.

meeting of the Executive Committee OF
the Veterans Home Association was held
yesterday afternoon, eX-Judge w. G. Bur
nett presiding, and considered the case OF
Comrade j. w. Harlan, who was suspended
from the home and petitiOned to be read
mitted.
On Christmas day Harlan had row with
Steward Ecket in which he drew a pistol
which was afterward taken from him by
three cooks before he could use it, Harlan
appeared before the committee and told a
pitiful tale of having been beaten and kicke
by the steward so much that he passed two
gallons of blood. Director Waymire thought
that If Harlan'S story was true the steward
should be prosecuted. He also thought that
Harlan was dangerous man to be readmit-
ted TO the home. The case was continued
for further investigation.
The committee declined to receive or en-
terrain the application OF Frederick Muller
for admission 10 the home, as he was not by
law entitled to tie privilege. Muller en-
listed in 1868 and served until 1873. but was
In no war. His proper place would be In
the Washington Home for Soldiers.
The application of William Moore for re-
admission to the home was granted.
He left the home to go to Santa Monica, but
now desires to come back in order to be
treated for a certain disease. Moore was
admitted with the understanding that he
would have to part with the greater part Of
his pension, as the directors cOntemp plate
PEELED to give up certain portion of their
pensions in order to carry on the home. A
small portion will be allowed them for
pocket money.

countless statues abundantly testify, curled

and the Greeks knew how to produce this
grace by artificial means. This was espe-
cially the case with the luxurant tresses Of
the women, which were dressed with most
cOnsummate art, in many varieties of colt
fure-some simple, some elaborate. Al
though fond of displaying curled or
wavy hair, Greek women, as rule,
did not incline to long tresses hanging
around the face and over the neck. Priest
eSses so wore them, TO be sure. but the rule
was to leave the neck and shoulders free,
and bring the hair down over the browS-
high fOTeheads in women not being cOnsid-
cred beautiful. One of the loveliest heads

Commissioners Schmitt, Brown, Ames
and Martin were on hand yesterday for the
weekly meeting OF the Fire Commission.
There was noticeable goody amount of
whispering, and shortly after the meeting
was called to order it was no difficult matter
to see that the first three mentioned were
combined against Martin.
The designations Of James Walsh, tiller-
man Of Truck /; David Smith. stoker of
Engine Is; and George Gallagher, engineer
of Eagine l, were received and accepted.
Against the last two there had been charges

Commissioned Ames presumed that such

satisfactory In other quarters, and, mas

To this end he made motion, which was
carried, that the Chief bring charges against
