The pension bureau has rejected the
claim under the dependent pension act of
soldiers widow who lives twelve miles
out from Chicago in a 5000 house upon
farm Of fifty-one acres of land worth about
$500 an acre. The decision says that she
does not appear to be dependent upon
daily labor for a living, hence she can
not get the pension. The proba bilities are
that if this decision were made the basis
fer an examination of the lists, it would
be found that many dependent widows"
drawing pensions are even better fixed
than this Illinois widow.

tect oneself. He had thought it all out

1t will be remembered that some time
ago the Hawaiian government invited
number of senators and congressman to
visit Honolulu at its expense Senator Ba-
con was among the number invited, but he
promptly and very properly declined to sc.
A number of those invited actually went,
however, among them being Senators Nor
gan, Cannon and Pettigrew and Congress
man Berry of Kentucky. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Chicago Chroni-
Gle has recently talked with the members
of the excursion party, and he finds that
every one of them, save Senator Morgan,
went to Hawaii in favor of annexation and
came back opposed to it. The gentlemen
discovered that the overwhelming ma
jorty Of the people of the islands were
against the scheme. This seems to be
one instance in which a congressional
junket proved a boomerang to the promo

The bill to prevent gambling in cotton
futures" introduced by Congressman
Stokes of South Carolina, seems TO be in
the nature of a revival Of
the old and familiar Hatch anti
options bill, which, in one form
or Another has been rejected by congress
"a number of times The promoters Of bills
of the sort labor under the delusion that
all cotton speculation is a bad thing for
the cotton planter. If there were no
speculation in the great product of the
south, and transactions were limited to
actual deliveries, the probabilities are that
the cotton planter would have to sell his
crops for much less than he now gets for
them. However, congress cannot raise tine
price of cotton by prohibiting gambling"
in cotton futures Two-thrRs of our cot
ton goes TO Europe, where the price is
made, and gambling in cotton futures is
freely permitted there; hence if it is the
gambling" which affects the market il
will be necessary to make our anti-options
legislation reach to Liverpool and Man
chester before it will be effective.

them to the larger cities to hold month
~ meetings, and in this way weed out
the charlatans and irresponsible per-
sons who go about trading on the

there wasn't a word upon Il. In this
way Il may be sent any distance, and no
one can find out what Il contains. But
the person who receives Il knows the
secret Of "bringing out" the writing so
that Il may easily be read.
One o. the simplest OF these invisible
inks IS very diluted solution OF sui

make the writing show black, all your
correspondent has 20 do Is 10 hold the
letter close 70 a hot stove, when presto
out come the letters and words one b.

Another good secret Ink. more difi
cult TO bring out than the one already
mentioned, can be made by using a
cheap solution Of sugar Of lead. To
bring out the written words q IS neces-

Another simple secret ink Is made Of
a weak solution Of ordinary starch A
letter written with this will remain en-
tirely invisible until It Is washed with a
solution OF iodine, which quickly brings
out the writing.
