YOUNG WIDOW PENSIONERS.

Capt Skinner tinds the Old Soldier
Marketable for Natrimony.
United States Pension Agent Skin
ner has discovered that there art. many
blus,ling into marriage contracts with
veterans who have passed the three
score mark In fact, the captain rather
suspects that the young women VINO
choose theI. do so because they have
performed brave service for their coun-
try. and are now being rewarded by
comfortable pension.
This state OF things, in the Pitts
burgh district, at least. though not
throughout the country, indicates
that the payment of pensions vii. fur

Will mourn till their departure and

Leader.
Agent Skinner has just completed
his report for the quarter ending Jan
uary 1, and also a report for the month
of January. The report for the quar-
shows that 1885 pensioners We're paid,

s6i2S. These payments were all made
IN January. and during that month I66
pensioners We're added to the rolls,
while l%i died ani nine widows were

This makes a net increase of 23. and

There il no way of telling from the
records just how many cases of this
kind there are said Capt. skinner
but the number must be ve.v conSid-
erable and will cause the pension roll
to remain large for many years to
come"
Continuing, the genial agent de-
scrlhed a case of one of the young wild
ows from neighboring town who he
had learned was married on January 4.
probably Immediately after getting
her quarters pension.
She could have married at any time
and drawn her pension down to the
day of her marriage. She evidently
wanted the whole amount which
was $50, and DELAYED the happy day to
get it. She would have had some diff
iiculty getting her voucher cert: aed
under a different name. and for a frac-
tIonal amount of her quarters pay. SO
that II was probably on the whole
best Ia get married on pension day
From the laughing manner in which
Capt Skinner told this story. il is evi-
dent the happy eX-widow would not
have been grudged her little dowry
from Uncle Sam had she announced
her intention to marry immediately ON
receiving it.
The captain did not say so, but it is
probable the government will solve
the question of increase in the pension
rolls through young widows of old sol
dlers by encouraging them To initiate
the example of the practical lady who
got married on pension day.

London. July Gas a result of In
quiries made OF experts in Eastern
politics and persons who have resided
in Corea, the representative OF the
Associated Press learns that VIDE
spread discomfort exists In Corea be-
cause of the corruption and misgovern-
ment that everywhere prevails. one Oh
the most powerful revolutionary FAC
tors In the country is a quasi religious
sect called Tong Hak which ascribes
the precarious condition Of Coreah
trade and commerce TO the presence
OF foreigners in the country This sect
has set for itself the task Of Kidding
Corea OF the hated foreigners and has
threatened the Japanese and other
foreigner residents. Among the char
ges brought against the foreigners is
one that they have caused an enormous
increase In the prices Of food stuils'
without any benefit ACQUIRING to the
Coreans. The king of Corea possesses
no real authority and he Is in constant
terror of a revolution that viii sweep
him from his throne. He Is heavily
IN debt and the whole country is In a
state OF anarchy. To this condition or
affairs is due the revolt that recently
started In one OF the provinces. Last
Year 10000 Coreans armed and unarmed
threatened to march on the capitol,
Seoul. and expel the foreigners. This
rebellion was suppressed but the coun-
Try has been disturbed ever since. Re-
formers In the administration are regar-
ded as absolutely necessary not only
TO save the commerce of the country
but for the safety OF foreigners.

Terre Haute, Ind. July 2s.-Paoked
like sardnes were the people who u.s.
tened to President Debs OF the Amerl-
can Railway union in the opera house
tonight. The theater never held such
a crowd. and hundreds were turned
away. Many ladies were present Debs
was enthusiastically received. He
said: This was u crisis brought about
first by the inhuman cruelty and OPP
preston of Pullman toward his EN-
pioyes; second. by the railways deeid-
ing 10 stand by Pullman In his oppres-
sion; third, by an understanding
among the railway managers that Il
was necessary to crush the railway
union" Dobs then said that he always
had been in favor OF arbitration and
opposed to strikes until the gauntlet
was thrown down and efforts made
to crush organized labor, and there
was time when not TO strike meant
degradation, and this was that time.
He made quite IA lengthy address and
was vociferously applauded.
Mr.. Debs' opening statement was: II
want TO say that l did everything IN
my power 10 prevent the Pullman
strike"
lie then reviewed the causes and re-
suit OF the conference With the Pull
man officials, which finally resulted in
the boycott. Mr.. Debs declared that he
had no voice In ordering the Pullman
strike and said that he was unalterably
opposed to strikers. ny quotations
