President DiSapprOyeS Of
Pension Bills.
One Gave Pension to Man
Never in u. S. Service.
Other Provided Additional Pension
for Mrs. Allabach.

WASHINGTON. April 22.-The President
today sent to the Senate vetoes of two
Senate pension bills. The first was in the
case of Charles Il. Jones, photographer,
which attracted considerable attention
in the House. 1t is as follows:
To the Senate return herewith, with
out my approval, Senate bill number 249,
entitled, San act granting a pension to
Charles +. Jones. The beneficiary named
in this bill was a photographer who ac-
companied one of the regiments of the
Union army In the war of the rebellion.
He was injured apparently not very
seriously, while taking photographs and
where no battle was in actual progress.
He was not enlisted and was in no man
ner in the military service of the Omitted
States. Aside from the question as to
whether his present sad condition in at
tributable to the injuries sustained. ii
seems TO me the extension OF pensions to
such cases would open the door to legiela-
tion hard to justify and impossible to
restrain from abuse. ~ ,
(Signed) GROVER CLEVELAND.
Executive Mansion, April 2i. 1896. z
The other veto was in the case of the
bill for pension to Nancy q. Allabacn.
1t provided for pension for Mrs. ALA
bach, who Is the widow of Peter ALA.
bach, who served in both the Mexican,
and the war of the rebellion. he calls at
tention to the fact that MIR. Allabach
made no application for pension on ac-
count of disabilities during his life. ''lt
Is not," he saws, 'now claimed that he
was in the least disabled, as an Incident
of his military service, nor is 1t alleged
that his death, which rsd nearly 20
years after his. discharge from the army,
was in any degree related to such service. !"
He says the widow was pensioned after
her husbands death as the widow OF q
Mexican soldier and that her case falls
under the general act of $780, sit Is pro-
posed. however," he continues, "by the
special act under consideration to give
this widow pension of $50 month with
out the least suggestion OF the death or
disability of her husband having been
caused by his military service and solely
so far as ciscovera BILE. upon the ground
that she is poor and needs the money.
The condi ion is specially covered by ex-
isting law. and IL precedent is to be es-
tablshed by this special legislation pro-
posed, do not see how the same relief
as is contained In this bill can be denied
to the many thousand widows who in q
similar situation are now on the pension
rolls under general laws"

boiling and as soon as the scum boils to

coal oil. Use plenty Of water and have
it pretty hot, but never pour boiling

put your hands in it before putting it

Mendelssohn's SONGS.

Nor must we forget to acknowledge
Mendelssohn s power, displayed in many
Of his best songs, Of producing effect on
the emotions of his hearers by the sim.
plest means. It is true that many Of his
melodic creations have strong family
likeness, but it is none the less true that
a considerable number may be extracted
from his works which have perfectly
distinct individuality, which can hardly
be surpassed in pure melodic beauty,
and which require no elaborate orches.

ventitious interest. I was much i'm
pressed by his power in this respect
when turning in once during the dead
period of the London musical season to
classical evening" at one Of the
promenade concerts at Covent Garden.
The house was crowded in every part,
and promenade concert audiences are
not always very quiet, but the song
"Auf Flugeln des Gesanges" was lis
tened to in breathless silence, followed
by burst of applause and redemand,
the repetition being listened to with the
same reverence as before. I remember
thinking at the time that to be able to
hold large and very mixed kind Of au-
dience spellbound in this way by per-
fectly simple song melody repeated in
each verse without ornaments or embel-
lishments of any kind and supported
only by an equally simple pianoforte ac-
compartment was test of genius not
to be despised, while the applause Of the
popular" audience seemed very suit

his kindly way when suggesting that the
programme for proposed concert was
a little too severe in it's character, "For

Taslors Will Fight.

Tailors must unbend at times, and il
seems that on the night Of st. John q
eve, June 90, 1906, the tailors of Oxford
were in the habit Of unbending very far
indeed. Itwas their custom to celebrate
on that evening festival of SO sprolong-
ed character that they usually did not
break up till dawn. Upon this particu-
lar occasion in 1906 after midnight,
when they had right to expect that
they would find the streets in that part
of the town deserted, they and their
friends went out into High street and
commenced what was apparently some
sort of formal country dance. Their evo-
lutions, however, were interrupted by a
clerk, one Gilbert Of Foxlee, who came
upon them, the account states, with q
sword drawn, determined, apparently in
spirit of pure mischief, to break up
the dance. Some Ct the party, who knew
him, held i sl back and did their best
