PENSION DECISIONS.
Involuntary Service in Confederat Re
Ranks No Bar to Pensions.

Involuntary Service in Confedera Re
Ranks No Bar to Pensions.
In recent pension case Assistant Sec
retary Reynolds of the Interior Department
decides where there is record of service in
the confederate army, and it fails to show
whether the service was voluntary or in
voluntary, it will be presumed that it was
voluntary, but such presumption may be
rehutted, the burden of proof beng on the
claimant. Where the service was volun-
tary the claimant is not entitled to a PEN
sion, but where the service was wholly
compulsory he may be. The sufIiciency of
the evidence to rebut the presumption of
voluntary service must depend on the cir
Gums tances of each case.
In another case the assistant secretary
holds that when a soldier was discharged
to re-cniist. and did then and there re-en-
list as veteran volunteer, and thereafter
deserted from the service and never res
turned to or was discharged from said
service. he is not pensionable under any
law for any disability contracted under the
enlistment from which he discharged
or that from which he deserted for the
reason that there was 10 period of time
during which he was regularly and legally
released or separated from the service.
Mr.. Reynolds holds that an insane claim
ant. under the dependent pension act may
file a valid declaration for pension by
competent person. as next friend, but be-
lore payment guardian or committe
must be appointed.

OPPOSED TO ANNEXATION.
Congressman HilbOrn Talks of What
He Saw in Hawaii.

He Saw In Hawaii.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 2.-Congress-
man Hilborn. who returned from Hawaii
today, has placed himself on record op-
posed to tine annexation Of the island by
TIE United States. In discussing the ques-
ton he said:
II can freely say that 1 do not believe
it would be wise thing for this country
to undertake, or at least not while the
present conditions prevail. The popu1a-
ton consists chiefly of japanese, Chinese
and Portuguese, with small proportion of
American or English-speaking people. The
present illiteracy is greater among the
whites than among the Kauakas. The
present government is not satisfactory to
majority of the people there, especially the
natives. 1t is practically an oligarchy, and
the idea of republic on such lines Is
laughed at. 1t is not popular, and its
safety is menaced as it stands. The great
mass have no voice except in the election
Of the lower house. The senate is elected
but few thousand of the people. and
many of them are more illiterate than the
natives. Much respect is shown to Presi-
dent Dole. He is considered able and
conscientious AID is generally liked.
1.-The Japanese are the most aggressive
ard mos: to be feared. They quickly learn
the ways and take every advantage. They
have driven many Portuguese traders out
here. They import everything from Japan
and spend little on the islands.
''The wisest thing this country could do
regarding the islands would be to form
some close reciprocity treaty which would
give them the same advantages as our
states, and insure their markets for us.
They would, of course, be required to put
a tax on all imports from other countries
which came into competition with our
products. If this is done, and we extend a
protectorate over the islands, both coun-
tries would derive the advantage of annex
ation while they would be allowed TO gov
ern themselves they saw fit. But as
things are going now,I believe the queen
will! be restored to her throne before long"
On the question of a Pacific cable Mr..
Hilborn said:
IF there is cable laid at any time in
the near future it will have to be built by
this country. 1t would not pay any pri-
vate party to build 1t. 1 believe. though.
it would pay. this government. The Pacific
will in some emergency be the rendezvous
for the navies of the world, and telegra phic
communicate with Honolulu will be a
great saving to us in handling our snps.
There would be considerable revenue be-
sides, and 1 would vote favorably or the
prOpositiOn."

Gently took a pair of large ruby soitaires
to be reset at IS, where they had been
purchased The morning after the mail
brought her the card of the firm, saying
a gentleman wished to see her. and on
going down to the drawing room she found
one of the clerks, who told her that the
stores which were apparently of great
value, were in reality false and worthless.
Very much agtated over the intelligence
Mrs. A asserted that the jewels had never
left her possession since their purchase,
and claimed that the fraud must have been
perpetrated before she received them. This,
of course, the firm denied, but the feeling
on the subject became very bitter on both
sides and detectives We're employed by both
to ferret out the mystery. When a former
butler of Mrs. A was proved to be dis
charged clerk of the well-known jewellers
the Inference was obvious, although no
proof against the man has been found
and the jewels have never been recovered.

A Telephone That Whistles.

From the Cincinnati Tribune.
Manager Fowler of the telephone ex-
change Ashland, Ky, has devised an in
gerious attachment for telephones, to be
used in factories and shops where the
amount Of noise makes it almost impossible
to hear the call bell of the instrument
1t consists of a steam whistle, which is
turned on by means of a lever operated
by magnetism. When the instrument is
called from the exchange the bell rings
as usual, and by the electric current pass
ing through a magnet a weight is released
which pulls the lever to the whistle. Once
started the whistle keeps up it's shrill note
until some one answers the call and turns
off the steam which is done by simply re-
placing the weight. One of these attach
ments is being placed at the local steel
plant, another at the tannery and several
more will probably be installed in saw
mills and similar establishments.

The Zero of Temperature.

From the Chicago Interior.
No explorer has yet been able to hang
his cap on the north pole, nor has the
chemist in his laboratory yet succeeded in
reaching what may be called the north pole
Of his researches, namely, the zero of tenn
rerature, or the temperature of celestial
SPACE. This zero has been defined as that
point of tempera ture at which gas particles
would give no pressure and have no vol
ume, condition which, it is said, would
take place at a temrara ture of PA degrees
below the freezing point OF water Unlike
the arctic explorers, however, who have 4
.ium ber of roads open by which to approach
the pole. the chemist has only one route by
which to reach the chilly destina tion he
seeks, and that is by the liquefaction of all
the gases. This, the text books state, has
already been accomplished. but the chemist
in search of the zero of tempera ture knows
better. Though compressed hydrogen when
expanded yields a mist, the victory over
this battling element has Tot been achieved.
and as the experiments in this direction are
difficult and costly it seems probable that
the explorers will reach the north pole, by
balloon or otherwise, long before the chem
lists reach their Zero;c temporal ture, the
tempera ture of celestial space. One practi
cal result the chemist names a reason
for his researches after the zero Temporal
ture is that should it ever be reached we
could then' completely transform heat into
mechanical power, whereas al present we
succeed in getting only about 10 per cent

sn unknown rame to it, and, in a lauda-

pointing out for the benefit of admirers the
position of his tomb in 4 certain cemetery.
The book had all the flavor OF genius per-
iShed in its young promise, and secured Il
big sale, a deuge of sentimental tears being
shed by countless d1mseis over the dead
singer. And when the deceased unknown
was secure in his posthGmous reputa ton,
and had raked In shekels enough TO make
the publication good thing on the busi-
ness side, the well-known poet came out
with the confession that no such young
writer had ever existed; the name was

success Of his peculiar log-rouing caused a
sensation, arousing Indignation or amuse

irs distillation to an honest basis, and, in
furtherance of this purpose. another re-
vision of internal revenue law and methods
took place. With this new order of things
a new set of offices was created. The
United States We're divided into twenty
five districts, supervisor and a revenue
detective being assigned to each district.
The requirements precedent to running q
distiiiery under the new law were so NUM-
erous and involved so many and radical
changes in the machinery of distiliery
that they Were closed for a time to effect
them.
Following on these changes came the
use of engraved stamps for the protection
of spirit in all it's manipulations from
fraud. Beer. cigar, tobacco and proprie-
tary stamps had been in use for some time.
Surely with a low spirit tax and so many
checks and guards thrown around the
manufacture and traffic of whisky. with

arbitrary powers in enforcing law-surely
