ALLOWANCE FOR SOLDIERS.
An Additional Five Per Cent Credit
Given on Examination.

An Additional Five Per Cent Credit
Given ON Examination.
During the administration of President
Harrison the board Of examiners of the
Treasury Department gave to soldiers who
claimed preference under section 1854, Re-
vised Statutes, an additional credit of 8
per centum of the general average attained
when examined for promotion. Later it
was discovered that there were a large
number of soldiers who had no claim I'M
der that preference. They had served
through the entire war; some had been des-
perately wounded. and went out of the SER
vice at the close of the war, or were mus
tered out with their regiments at the ex-
piration Of their service. They would have
no claim under section 1854, Revised Stat
utes. however. as they were not discharged
for wounds or disease contracted in line of
duty. Consequently, in June. 1891, the de-
partment extended the order so as to give
a credit of per cent to all discharged SOL
diers and sailors examined for promotion.
At the time that the competitive exami-
nations for promotion in the Treasury De-
a credit Of per cent, soldier was given
relative weight, and carried in under
sliding scale. Now that the competitive
examinations are no longer in vogue, and
the order Of per cent having never been
revoked. but simply fallen into disuse, the
treasury committee ION the personnel of
the department" today directed that IL be
per cent be given to all soldiers examined
for reinstatement or promotion, regardless
OF whether they had been DISCHARGED for
wounds or disability.

THE value of the electric street rail
road to Marietta is more apparent
every day it is operated and it is with
pleasure that we notice the increased
appreciation with which it is received
by the public. This enterprise has
done more, perhaps, than any other to
robe Marietta in the garb of an up-to-
date and hustling city. 1t is an insti-
tuition which has cost and will still
cost many thousand dollars to estab-
lish and it should therefore haye the
unqualified good will Of eYery citizen.

Earth,s Rotation nnd Insnrnnce.

To settle the time at which q policy
for 50, 500 expired the Courts of Mon
tana will be called TO hear learned
scientific testimony on the revolution
of the earth. John w. Connell, Of Salt
ese, was injured by a falling tree at II
o'clock on the morning of November
%, last year. He owned an accident
policy issued at Davenport, Iowa, which
expired at noon of the day when the
accident occurred. The contention of
the underwriters is that the policy be-
gan to run from the nom ent it was is
sued in Davenport, and its life had eX-
pired when Connell was injured, the
difference in time approximating two
hours. s.-ChicaEo Tribune.
