ARMY OF PENSIONERS.
No Diminution in the Number Re-
ceiving Aid From Uncle Sam.
Sc VEN REVOLUTIONARY WIDOWS

| And the Daughters of Nine Revolu.
tfonary Soldiers Still Oh tho Rolls.
During Past Year 5O,IO1 New Pen-
sioners Were Added-3, ,071 Restored.
| Washington, Nov. 6.-The first an
nual report of Commissioner of PEN
sions H. Clay Evans was made public
yesterday A summary follows:
| There were added to the rolls dur
Ing the year the names of 5O,101 new
| pensioners, and there were restored
| to the rolls 3,971 pensioners who had
been previously dropped. a total of
54,O72. During the same period the
losses to the roll were 31,96O by death,
| 1.074 by remarriage of widows and
mothers, 1,S45 by legal limitations (mi-
nors), 1853 for failure to claim PEN
sion for three years, and 1850 for other
causes, an aggregate of 41,122.
The whole number of pensioners on
the rolls June 80, 1897, was 976,014 The
net gain over the previous year was
$685. 1t will thus be seen that the
pension roll has not yet begun to show
any diminution, though it has been an
ticipated by former commissioners that
such would be the fact.
Seven widows of revolutionary SOL
diers and nine daughters of revolution
ary soldiers are still on the rolls. Dur
ing the year 9i,a54 pension certificates
were issued, Of which number 50,l01
were original allowances and the bal
ance were reissues, increases, restora-
tions, renewals, etc. OF this number
14,G7l certificates of various classes
W,Ira n EIr Iil1v 1
1897, and are accordingly not credited
to the past fiscal year.
During the same period 1924 claims
of various Glasses were dsallowed.
This number, however. does not in
elude claims which were made for
higher rates Of pension.
The amount disbursed for pensions
by the pension agents during the year
was S139, 799, ,242.12, and the amount dis
bursed by the treasury settlement was
$l5O,475.23, total of $l39 949, ,717.35 This
exceeds the amount disbursed during
the fiscal year 1886 by the sum of ST.
bS4,4S0.lS. If the 14,61 certificates
which, as before stated were held in
this bureau until July /, 1897, had been
mailed to the pension agents during
the fiscal year they would have re-
CURED first payments amounting to
s., 1871 ,694, besides the additional annual
value, which would also have been a
charge upon the appropriation. This
amount, added to that actually dis
bursed, makes an aggregate of $1il,-
0S0,936. The appropriation for the pay
ment Of pensions for the fiscal year
1897 was only $l40 100000
The commissioner says: II am still
of the opinion that the reduction and
consolidation of the pension agencies
at this time Is not only unnecessary,
but ineXpedient." In conclusion, the
report recommends the publication of a
complete list of pensioners and the
passage of law to the end that no
pension be granted to the widow of |
any soldier that shall marry hereafter. |

No Prohibition For Georgia.

Atlanta Nov. 6,-The Georgia senate
yesterday defeated a measure which,
If passed, would have had the effect OF
making Georgia prohibition state.
The bill has been pending in the leg
islature since last year, and has been
exhaustively argued. The vote on the
bill was 18 to 23 1t is understood that
the majority against the passage of the
bill would have been proportionately
much greater in tha. house if the meas
ure had ever reached that body.

Rochester, Nov. G.--There Is consid-
cradle excitement over the mysterious
death of Mrs. Eva Kunder, witch oc-
cured at her home here on Wednesday
evening. An autopsy showed death
was due to some irritant poison, which
IL thought by some OF the family to
Eave been placed in the coffee. All the
members of the Kunder family are still
suffering from the effects of he poison
which caused the death Of their mother.
Many think that the death of Mrs. Kun
der was a murder committed by some
one who had a grudEe against the dead
woman or some member Of the family.

A SUPPER.

Twas out on DuPont's Banks
There was great big supper,
OF tea and bread and ginger snaps,
Finger rolls and butter,
Fancy cakes and raisin bread,
Which filled US with delight,
Pumpkin pie and all good things,
1t was pleasing sight.
Ham and tongue and beef so young
Chicken nice and tender,
l never will forget that night;
Twas the 4th day of November.
The pleasant smiles tho walters gave,
While passing round the dishes.
The crowd was like tho multitude
That ate the loGyes and fishes.
The coffee, it was steaming hot,
The tea, it would delight,
But the pretty Miss that gave me mine,
She stole my appetite,
The touch her arm gave me
AS she sal the pitcher down,
felt as ifin Paradise,
Though scarce mile from town.
When my appetite gets back again,
Or when want my I'll,
You'll see me take q little stroll
Toward the Powder Mill,
Where the maideus are so pretty,
SO loving, kind and free,
Ham and toungue 80 plentiful
And chickens tenderly.

EX-ConSul Iasini In jail,

Boston, Nov. 6.-The ex-Turkish
consul general, Joseph A. Iasigi, is now
in Jail, practically without hope of Sc
curing bonds. Yesterday two of the
four gentlemen who went his bail when
he was brought to Boston under arrest
surrendered him in a legal manner,
and rid Themselves of all obligations Of
their bonds. The probability Is that the
prisoner will come before the court
some day next week for sentence, and
will probably at once begin to serve the
term imposed upon him, pending the
decision of the supreme court on the
exceptions taken by his counsel.
