The kidneys may get sick from oyerwork,

NEW PENSION LAWS
Suggestions Contained In A Assist n mt Sec
retary Reynolds' Renorf

retary reynolds Report.
The report of Assistant Secretary Rey-
nolds, of the Interior Department. states
that gratifying results have followed the
passage OF the act rela ting to tile payment
of accrued pensions, which was recon-
mended to Congress a year ago and re-
ceived the signature of the President March
3, 1895.
Legislation is recommended which vii!
define with more certainty the pension
able rights of minor children in those cases
where the soldier dies leaving no widow
surviving.
The suggestion for q more Uniform rule
for proof of marriage III pension cases is
reneXed.
Stress is again laid upon the recon-
mendation for legislation which will Sc
cure to wives and children of pensioners
who unlawfully abandon those dependent
upon them, portion of the bounty paid
such pensioner. and also for such legislation
which will remedy the evils arising from
the manner of making the quarterly pa y-
ments by checks at the agencies to certain
weak and incompetent persons. who, on
such occasions, are subject TO schemes of
designing individuals. and are thereby in
duced to squander their pension money.

AID FOR Ex-coNrEDERATEs.
Congressman OteyrOf Virginia Pro-
poses National Assistance.

congressman Otey OF virginia frU-
poses National Assistance.
Hon. Peter j. otey, who represents the
Lynchburg district, Virginia, IN the
House, has prepared ball which will
create sensation as soon ms lie Introduces
1t in Congress. =
Mr.. Oicy's bill provides that the United
States Government shall appropriate an
nually sum not TO exceed. per cent.
on S21, 100000, 10 be applied la the relief
of disabled and dependent cx-Confederate
soldiers in proportion as each state OF the
late Confederate States may appropriate
and expend for the same purpose.
Mr.. Otcy asks Tor this amount because,
as he says, the abandoned property cap
tured from the people Of the Confederate
States and sold and covered into the United
States Treasury amounted TO S2d,COU,Uo0.
The preamble TO this unusual measure
sets forth that while the United States is
under no obligation in law or usage to
make provision for those who fought
against the Union, il is recognized that
the Confederate soldiers are now It's own
citizens, paying taxes and disciarging al
OF their duties as such in patriotic man
ner. supporting cheerfully the United
States Government III peace and eager to
do so in war.
Aid Is To be extended to disabled and
dependent eN-ConfederateS because tne
United States moved by the spirit Of hu-
manity, fraternity, and magnaninity te
synIpathiZe with those who have suffered
by the casualties OF war, desires To con-
tribute to the alleviatiuf OF the necessities
and wants OF sIch rs are not able In adyanc-
ing years to support themselves.
The manner in which this assistance is
to be given is outlined as follows: The gov
ernor of any Confederate State Will certify
to the Treasurer of the United States that
a certain amount has been appropriated and
expended from the treasury Vf that state
for soldiers homes and their support, ar:t-
fetal limbs, and the maintenance and sup
port of disabled and dependent eN-COnfed-
crate soldiers OF their widows, with sworn
statement OF the proper disblrsing officer,
giving the names OF thJse to whom aid has
been furnished and the amount 10 each
and the amount expended on soldiers homes
and their support. When this has been done
the Treasurer OF the United States shall pay
over To the governors OF the States vonIply-
ing with the provisions stated above a like
amount 10 be similarly applied.
Mr.. Otey says that the objection that this
would be pensiUnng ex-Confederates IN not
well put. Regular pensions average a per
capita OF $3.50 Of the population OF the
United States by the census of 1890 and this
bill carries an appropriation of only two
cents per capita OF the population. - =
1t will be interesting to note how this
proposition will be received by Republican
statesmen who are hoping 10 break the solid
South in next years Presidential election.

The United States has never fallen into

HowGATE NOT MANACLED.
Taken TO Albany by Warden Leonard
and Cant. Ransdell.

Warden Leonard and Capt. Ransdell
left yesterday over the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad with Capt. Henry W. How
gate for Albany, n. Y, TO deliver him 10
the prison authorities.
Tie three were driven from the jail at
an early hour, arriving a [ the depot shortly
before tn ehour for the departure of the
train. which was due about o'clock
1t is understood that Capt. Howgate was
not manacled, and probably the casual
witnesses OF his departure with the two
officials would not know that he was in
their charge, unless they should recognize
the prisoner.
Capt. HOwcates sentence, a heretofore
stated in The Times, was for eight years
four years upon each of the counts in
the Indictment.
There is n strong sentiment in the COM
nunity in favor of an appeal to the Pres
ident for pardon in behalf of the pris-
oner, and it may eventuate later in tue
circulation of petition
Mss Ida Howgate was not at the depot,
having already bade him good by yesterday
afternoon at the jail. The leave-taking
was mcst affcctionateo one between father
and the daughter. WHO has stood faithfully
by him ever since his arrest.

Nature never intended that women
should be tortured when doing the one

manly. The perversion of natures laws
has brought this suffering about, and a
return to right living will stop it.
Nine out of ten women are troubled
more or less by weakness and diseases
peculiar to their sex. It is SO because
they do not take proper care of them
selves-because they neglect little ills
and little precautions. A woman in per-
fectly hearty health goes through her
time of trial with comparative ease. The
thing to do then, is to make all expec-
tant mothers healthy to strengthen
them generally and locally. The medi-
