SOLDIERS WIDOW CASE.
Pension Department Refuses Her
Claim ON Peculiar Grounds.

WASHINGTON. Aug. s.-A curious case
of divorce has been brought 10 light by
decision Of Assistant Secretary Reynolds in
a pension appeal case. Susan Mcleod was
married to Daniel Mcleod in Athens coun-
ty, Ohio. The husband served during the
war, and shortly afterward obtained a d.
vorce from his wife and married again. He
died in 1880. and eleven years after his
death, on petition Of the first wife. the de-
cree of divorce was set aside by order of
the court. The first wife then claimed a
pension a soldiers widow. Secretary
Reynolds reached the conclusion that the
action of the court undertaking 10 annul
the soldiers divorce from the claimant was
illegal. and the rejection OF the claim on
the ground that the claimant is not the SOL
dier's legal widow under the law OF Ohio il
affirmed.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds. OF the In
terror Department, has decided a pension
appeal case in which he holds that those
who served in the revenue marine on YES
sells that co-operated with the navy were.
nevertheless, not in the naval establish
ment of the United States. and are not
entitled to pensions. He also holds that
a pay clerk Is an officer OF the navy and
is entitled to a pension.

BIRDS OF GIGANTIC SIZE.
Feathered Monsters That Inhabit the
Mountains Of south America.
Knowledge

For many years the minds Of philosoph-
ical ornithologists have been much exer-
cised by the origin and phylogeny of the
their fossil relatives. Not very long ago.
we believe, II was not an uncommon opin-
ion that all these rattle birds, as ostriches
rheas, cassowaries and emus are collective
~ called, were the immediate descendants
or certain group OF distinct reptile, and
that they themselves gave origin to the fly
ing birds. One circumstance is, however
fatal to this hypothesis Flying birds have
the bones of the fore limb or wing. con-
structed on very peculiar plan, and quite
unlike those of either mammals or reptiles
But precisely the same type of structure is
presented by the rudimentary wings of such
or the ostrich-like birds as possess these APP
pendages at all; and it Is quite clear that
IL these birds had been evolved from rep
tiles in the condition We now find them
that is to say. without the power Of flight
they would have retained the reptile type
Of forelimb. and would not have an aborted

concerned. Ii does not appear that we have
at present any means Of deciding this ques-
made during the last few years in the older
tertiary deposits of Patagonia have. how
ever gradually brought 10 ilSnt the remains
Of a group Of most extraordinary gigantic
fiightless birds which formerly Inhabited
that country, and which are so totally un-
like all the modern ratitae that there can
be no reasonable doubt as to their having
originated Independently from flying forms
When we have once admitted the indie
pendent origin Of one group Of flightless
birds. there appear at first sight no great
reasons why the modern types should not
have had a diverging ancestry. although
there are certain grounds for regarding
them as derived from a single stock. For
knowledge Of the giant flightless birds OF
Patagonia we are mainly indebted TO the
labors OF Senior Florentino Ameghino. Of
Buenos Ayres The first example OF their
remains brought to light was q portion OF

like was this bone that II was at first de-
scribed az belonging 10 gigantic edentate

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
FRANKLIN, Ind, Aug. 3.-Probably for
the first time in the history of Indiana
jury has declared by it's verdict an act OF
. Legislature unconstitutional. A sensa-
tional weekly paper published at Indian
apolis had become very obnoxious to many
OF Frarklin's citizens. and its agent here
was finally arrested and prosecuted, his
trial being held yesterday. The action was
brought on the ground that the paper
printed ''pernicious literature, etc." and
was OF a solely sensational character. The
proprietor OF the paper backed his agent
Charles Conner. by employing Judge w. A.
Johnson, OF this city, and Oscar Matthews
OF Martinsville, to take charge OF the
case. The trial was by jury, the defense
being based upon the sole grounds Of the
urconstitutionality OF the law under which
the prosecution was made. The jury, COM
posed OF twelve of the representative citi-
zens OF this place. after hearing the evil
dence and arguments, decided the defend
ant not guilty on account OF the unconsti-
nationality OF the law.
