raising Judge Longs pension to $72 month,
aud he AYERS that the certificate OF May 6. 1889,
was granted upon oral application made on
that day to Commissioners Tanner, and without
any further proof than such as had been before
IN ed ical examination, aud that Commissioner
Tanner. III his opinion misstated the contents
of Judge Longs application and other proof.
and he believe d that toe certificate was issued
by Comm issioner Tanner without careful con-
sderatiOn of the papers i'm the case, and was
induced by mistake of fact as well as of law.
The Commissioner states that he has no
knowledge or information sufficient TO form a
belief as to whether Com missioner Tanner in
passing upon Judge Longs case personally ex-
aHiined his wound or became personally cognl-
zant of its nature and condition; but he alleges
that ommissioner Tanner was not \ physician
surgeon and was incompetent and had DO
lawful right to decide without medical assist
auce the question whether such wound was
or was not durable.
In conclusion, Commissioner LOchren AYERS
that such action as shall be taken by him at
tho expiration of the 30 days notice given
Judge Long on Jan. last will be lawful, con-
stitutionsl and authorized, and will consist
simply of decision Of the questions involved
in this case, namely, the validity. effect and re-
vewabilty of the certificate now held by him,
and the rate of pension to which he is now law
fully entitled.
Arguments will he heard before Judge Cox, of
Equity Court No l. next Monday. Fob. IL, on
the question of granting the injunction prayed

PENSION DECISIONS.

Assistant Secretary of the Interior Reynolds
has rendered four decisions of considerable
Importance.
He holds that where several applications
are filed for claimant at different times by
different attorneys, based on separate disabiii-
ties, the several applications pending shall be
considered at the adjudication as one claim
and allowed as such.
If contract for fee of SOS on account of
each disability has been filed, the only fee
allowed will be to the attorney filing the first
contract
The former practice of dividing the fee on
allowance of the claim between the attorneys
filing contracts has been ordered discontinued.
This is due to the fact that the Com missioner
of Pensions has no power to vary the terms
of contract or divide he fee between the attor-
neys after party filing the first agreement
under the law has complied with the contract
terms.
This ruling will apply to claims already
filed, and in which the attorney filing contract
subsequent to the first has performed no service,
and to all claims hereafter fled.
Where a widow claims pension for herself
aud her own children, and also declares for
the soldiers child by former wife, the claim
will be considered III entirety, and the rights
of all the parties are subject to single adjudi-
cation. In these cases the attorney is entitled
to but one fee.
In where in the same declaration
claimant asks for increase and alleges new
disability, and All attorney pr0secutes the
claim under articles OF agreement, the con-
tract applies to the whole matter pending, and
the attorney is held to be entitleh to but one
fee.
Where an attorney dies leaving pension
claims pending in which he was entitled to
recognition the Department holds that his per-
sonal representatives will not be recognized to
compe such caiEos.

ARMY AND NAVY

The new Army Register contains mucn IN
terestDg information. In the personnel of the
Army there were few changes among the senior
officers The three Major Generals headed by
Gen. Sehofed maintain their same relative
order of merit. but with the early Autumn, on
the retirement of Maj. Gen. o. o. Howard at
Governors Island, Gen. Miles moves up to Sec
ond in rank aud leaves "A vacancy to be filled
from the Brigadiers by the President. year
later Gen. Miles becomes the sing officer of
the Army, when Gen. Schoield retires, thus
giving President Cleveland the appointment of
two Maior-Generals. Col. Norman j. Leiber,
who has been III charge o! tho office during
Gen. Swaim's period of suspension, will sue
ceed to the rank upon the latters retirement.
The Army is shown to be little more than a
skeleton organ zaton, compared to the gigantic
Standing armies maintained by foreign powers.
There is, moreover, no perfection of organiza-
ton due to tho depleted condition of some of
the regiments.
The full strength of the National Guard is
given in the Register. New York leads with
II 995 men and officers, Pennsylvania follows
with $500, Ohio with 5.62o. and one of the
Southern States, South Carolina, supports the
fourth largest militia with 5,S05 men. Illinois
las about 900 men. California 1000. Massa-
chusctts 5000 and Idaho ends the list with
Just 800 men and officers, all told. The full
National Guard force, including officers and
men, is shown To be liz, 496.
The line officers as well as the staff corps
greet that the bill tn reorganize the Navy, intro
duced by Senator Hale, by request. should have
been presented jusssat this juucture, when
special committee is engaged in investigating
the personnel of the Navy with view to legis-
lating iavorabiy for the advancement of the
service, aud particularly of promotions in
grades which are now practically congested. 1t
urges the Establishments Of the Marine Corps, the
warrant Officers, and proposes that Engineers
be reduced gradually until there are enough lett
only for designing machinery on shore and
other duties not intimately connected with
actual Engineers work on soa going war-ship.
The bill proposes to have machinists perform
the duties OF Engineer officers in vessels and to
place the corps different level from that it
now holds. When Congress knows that if it
passes it it carries an increased appropriation of
| 100000, stumbling block will be reached

One of the worlds delusons is that vaseine

havoc with both. However, it is so very use

apt TO produce dOwny growth that is far
from improving to the complexion. If applied

bit of dust flying within range; but if rubbed
well into wet stiff shoes, yaseline will soften
them wonderfully. But it must be rubbed in

Very light gloves, white or pale tan, are still

OHIO STATESMAN DEAD.

George W. Hnuk. Representative in Con-
eress from the Third District of Ohio, dropped
dead of heart failure at 4:30 o'clock Feb 9, while
visiting at 1927 Connecticut avenue northwest.
Mr.. Honk WAS 60 years of age having been
born in Cumberland County, Pa, Sept. 20, 1925.
He removed when two years OF age, with his
father. to Ohio, aud settled at Dayton, where
he has resided ever since. He chose the law
for profession and formed partnership with
the Hon. Peter p. Low.
In 1850 he was a delegate to the famous
Charleston Baltimore Convention as a supporter
Of Douglas and from that time on was active
in Democratic politics He was first elected to
the 52f Congress and reelected to the SD as a
Democrat, defeating in his last election Doniey,
Repu blican, by 4, 800 votes.

not do that with safety. So many pettcoats
are useless for warmth, burdensOme to carry,

glesome to fit dress-skirt over. However.
this is departing from her dress proper. She

trimmings going round and round. Light

rails for gowns. The long lines from belt to
hem, the slightly gathered effects, the pointed

ished silks and cloths are in almost every way
more desirable than the tabooed effects. A gown
exactly like the one pictured was worn by the
very stoutcst girl in her class at college. The
gown was of black silk, Powered with dark and
pale purple violets, and trimmed with ruffles,
berthe and quillings of lavender crepe. The
eye travelled so wearily round and round her
roundness never finding rest in the dizzy cir
cling. There was not single line to suggest
length of figure. 1t was complete and con-
elusive example of what ought be avoided by
