time ago correspondence was published be-

and Gen. Joseph Fullerton, chairman of
the park commission, as to the appoint
ment of guards at the Chickamausa Ma
tional Park. A few days ago a committee
from the local G. A. r. took the matter up
and protested against the appointment Of
w. S. Kelley, son Of the late Pennsylvania
congressman. and other appointments
This committee drew up a paper and pre-
sented II to Gen. Fullerton this morning
In an interview Gen. Fullerton said: II

prompted by the discharge of three en-
pIoyes OF the park, and l do not pay the

here who could have performed the duties
Oh these men-civil engineers-we would
nave given them an opportunity to do this
We employed these men for their tech
nical knowledge. The idea of putting cid
soldiers on this work is absurd. Some
people nave talked about the Chicka-

Il understand there has been talk about
tne appointment or Kelley as guardian at
Orchard Knob. His father did much for the

MRS. PATTON'S PENSION.
The President Vetocs the Bill Restor-
ing Her to the Rolls.


President Cleveland today sent to the
House a veto Of a bili to pension Rachel
Patton, whose husband, John H. Patton
war captain of an Illinois regiment and
was killed in 1863. After drawing a PEN
sion for thirteen years Mrs. Patton was
remarked and consequently was dropped
from the pension rolls, but afterward Sc
cured divorce on the ground Of deser-
ton.
The President seys: TT cannot be de-
MED that the rema rriage Of this beneficiary
terminated her pensionable relation to the
government completely as If 1t never
existed. The statute which so provides de-
clareJ what is approved by a fair and
sensible consideration of pension princi-
piles. As legal proposition the pensiona-
BILE status of a soldiers widow lost by her
remarriage cannot be recovered by the dis
solution of the second marriage. Waving
however, the application of strictly legal
principles to the subject, there does not
appear to be any sentiment which should
restore to the pension roll as the widow of
a deceased soldier divorced wife who has
relinQushed title Of soldiers widow TO
again bect me wife, and who to secure
the expected advantages and comforts of
q second marriage, has been quite willing
to forego the provision which was made for
her by the government solely on the
ground of her soldier widowhood"
