FRAUDULENT PENSIONS.

The pension agent. Van Leuven,
was found guilty on one Indictment
and pleaded guilty to five in the U. S.
court at st Paul last week. He was
sentenced to two years imprlson.
ment and 81 900 fine. This case has
been dragging along for more than
q year. Van Leuven did q whole sale
business In obtaining fraudulent PEN
sions, mostly by inducing old soldiers
and examining boards Of physicIans to
swear to greater degrees Of disability
than was actually true.
No one will be better pleased to
have such rascals found out and pun.
ished than the old soldiers themselves.
Nothing interfcres so much with the
allowance of just pensions than the
fact. that sometimes unworthy per-
sons, through fraud aud misrepre.
sentation receive pensions which they
neither deserve nor are entitled.
But, as we have said before, 1t
seems to US the whole pension BUSH
ness Is run Lutt-end foremost. Now,
the government allows designing at
torneys to work the Ignorant old
veteran, who signs such papers as are
sent him, whose witnesses try to re-
member what they don't recollect,
and after perhaps years Of trouble
and expense, a pension is allowed.
Then, and not until then, the gov.
ernment sends out special examiners
to see what flaws they can find In the
old soldiers story, or in his character
as man, and then the pensloner has
to 60 all over it again, or perhaps is
dropped from the rolls.
How much more sensible IL the ex.
aminers were sent out at the first
application, not only us detectives
but as assistants. How much they
could simplify the whole process.
How much useless labor and filing
of papers In the department at Wash
ington. How much better, clearer
and fairer, "fnal proof" before al
special officer or board of Officers
would be. than the present affidavit"
method by mail, filled with irrelevant
and immaterial testimony, often lack.
Ing the real points necessary and
which competent Official would bring
out at once In an oral examination.
In land business and many other
departments, the government has its
local Offices, why not introduce the
same system In 80 great a business in
In the pension department.
Let the government extend it's
handsso the old soldier may grasp
them; now he grupes In the dark for
assistance, aud rascals like Van
Leuven take advantage of his blind.

people deprecate and fear.

DESIGN For 4 STAINED GLASS UINDOW.

A REPRESENTATION OF THE PURITAN" FOR
THE FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Something out OF the common In the treatment OF
stained-glass windows for ecclesiastical purposes
is about to be introduced into the scheme OF re-
decoration of the First Presbyterian Church. In
Ffth-ave., of which the Rev. Or. Howard Dunieli
is pastor. The idea was suggested by Dr.
Duffeld himself. Within about year the long,
plain windows on the north side Of the church
looking out on West Twefth-s,.. have been re-
placed with handsome lights OF opalescent glass
each one containing the figure of a prophet. or
apostle or some other Biblical subject. on the
south side of the building the windows still remain
as they have existed for years. and these are the
