coast of Maui in the year 1886, and

to read on the voyage. The men bore
the appearance of sailors, and from
their conversation it was evident they

ship. and the other had on the garb
of an exhibition man-O'-wars man.
White trousers and jumper and shirt

ITS like this: We're going to the
South Seas to establish cOlony-but

Some Pension Figures.

THE Pittsburg Times publishes the
following regarding the United States
pension roll +:
1.-THE Revolutionary war ended ia
years ago, but there are on the pension
rolls thirteen widows and daughters OF
Revolutionary soldiers. There are six
widows. the seventh and oldest, Mrs
Lovey Aldrich, having died at Sar
Diego. CAL, this week, in her ninety
eighth year. The next oldest on the
list is Hannah Barrett, a soldiers daugh
ter. She is ninety-seven years old The
six widows range in age from eighty tC
eighty-six year.
"At the close of the last fiscal year
there were fourteen soldiers and sailors
of the war of 1919 On the pension rolls.
The oldest, Hosea Brown, of Oregon,
was 104 years of age. Four others had
passed the age of 100. The youngest,
John Lumberson, of Maryland, was
ninety. Mr.. Lumberson must have
been young warrior. as he was only
eight years old when the war of 1912
ended.
''It is estimated that the last surviving
soldier of the war of the rebellion will
have passed away by 1915, or eighty
years after Appomattox. If, however,
they marry and beget children as late in
life as did some of the Revolutionary
heroes. their widows and daughters NAV
be on the pension rolls in 1879"
