THE PENSION LIST.
Payment Suspended for SIXTY Days
Many Gases.


WAsHINGToN, July 10-TLe Pension
Bureau has notified great many
pensioners throughout the entire country
who are drawing pensions under the act
of June u, 1890, known as the Depend mt
Pension act, that payment OF their pen
sioDs will be suspended for sixty days,
during which time they are required to
show cause why they should continue
to draw pensions. The testimony neces
sary to prevent their being dropped from
the rolls is the certificate OF reputable
physician, attested to by two witnesses
to the effect that the pensioner is pre-
cluded from active labor owing to m
juries or disability not the result of has
OWE vicious habits.
In case no attention rs paid to the
department notification within sixty day 8
the peDsioner will be dropped from the
rolls. On the other hand should the
necessary certificate properly drawn up
and signed, be forwarded to the Pension
Bureau the pensioner will be requested
to appear before t local Board OF
Medical Examiners IS to his condition.
This action is pursuant to the recent
RULING OF SECRETARY SMITH,
to the effect that pensioner under act
of June %, 1890 drawing pension for
total disability must be shown to be
ply sically incapable of manual labor.
The Board of Review appointed to
carry into effect that decision is now
going over all of the cases of June 81
1890, probably 100, 600 in number, and
selecting those cases which show in the
record that the pensioner may not be
incapacitated for manual labor. In the
cases thus selected the pensioners are
notified, as before stated, to prove their
total disability to the department or
cease to draw pensions. Under Score
tary Smiths ruling the department
holds that man who can work should
not draw pension for total disability.
1t is estimated at the Pension Off re,
although the work has hut recently been
begun, that something over /, 900 suspan
sions have already been made.

Prosperitx In Nevada.

We would advise the chronic kicker
who thinks Nevada fit only for horned
toads and rattlesnakes to take trip
through the country and try to find a
better place. The farmers on the True
kee meadows live and dress better than
in any other section Of the country, have
more of the pleasures and comforts of
life than any of the farmers in any part
of California; they live in better houses,
get better prices for their produce and
are in every way better off. We hear
glowing accounts of the country about
Los Angeles, the beautiful orange groves,
the immense yield Of the land devoted to
the cultivation Of prunes, but distance
lends enchantment to the view. Nevada
is just now undergoing business de-
preston, owing no doubt to the unsettled
condition Of the financial question, but
we are better off here and have less to
growl about than the people in San Fran
cisco. Let those who think they have
hard row to hoe dig up their sack and
take a trip To other sections of the coast,
and we venture the assertion that they
will return home better satisfied with
themselves and this portion of the world
at large.-Reno (Nev.) Gazette.

The o.fxinal yyeddine cake

Our wedding cake is the remains Of a
custom whereby Roman bride held in
her left hand three wheat ears, and many
centuries later an English bride wore on
her head chaplet of wheat. The at
tendant girls threw corn, either in grains
or in small bits of biscuit or cake, upon
the heads of the newly married couple,
and the guests picked up the pieces and
ate them. Such was the beginning of
the wedding cake, which did not come
into general use until the eighteenth
century and was then composed of solid
blocks, laid together and iced all over
with sugar, SO that when the outer crust
was broken over the brides head the
cakes inside fell on the floor, and they
were then distributed among the COM
pany.-New York Sun.

Nearly Drowned by Hailstones.


G. Stanley Hur1but, the well known
oarsman, had thrilling experience on
the Schuylkill river during the terrific
storm on Wednesday night and had to
swim for his life.
Mr.. Hurlbut is member of the Malta
Boat club, and after office hours on
Wednesday started up the river in sim
gle shell to the race course. Here the
storm overlook him, and the hailstones
perforated the covering of his shell. The
craft began to fill with water and settle.
It was only by skillfu1 handling that
Mr.. Hurlbut kept right side up, all the
while the hail pelting him in fusillade.
At one time he was in imminent dan
ger of losing his life by being run down
by the four cared shell of the Pennsyl-
vania Barge club, which bore down
upon him, appearing suddenly through
the veil caused by the storm, not 10
yards away. A blow from the sharp
PROV of the shell would have been fatal
to the oarsman, and Mr.. Hurlbut, realiz-
ing his peril succeeded by a powerful
left hand stroke in throwing his shell
out of the line.
The boat shot by like flash and left
the oarsman fighting with the waves,
which rolled over his boat, causing it to
settle at least one foot. He succeeded in
getting to the shelter of pier at Co.
lumbia bridge, when the shell turned,
leaving him in the water. With the
craft in tow Mr.. Hurlbut started to
swim to Belmont landing, where he was
assisted by several young men who had
witnessed his exciting struggle. The
shell is wreck.-Philadelphia Ledger.
