SOLDIERS WIVES.
Many of Them Are Lert unprovldcd

Many of Them Are Left Unprovldcd For.
A pathetic incident occurred in the
Police Court at Washington the other
day which exposed one unhappy
phase of the war. a mother appeared
to ask that her four small children be
committed to the charge of some char
liable institution, because their father
had enlisted in II Maryland regiment
and left her destitute. There are
doubtless many such cases in this and
other cities. Already there are fifteen
deserted wives at Fort Myer, near
Washington. whose husbands have
left in the regular army for the seat
of war without making provision for
their support. The ladies' at the post
are taking care of them and are trying
to find them situations ns servants
Their present distress is partly due 10
carclcssness and partly to intention.
There is regulation in the navy
by which Il sailor, before he starts up
on cruise, is allowed-and custom re-
quires him-to assign certain amount
of his pay to his family during his alb
sence, and a power of attorney is fur
nished to some one to sign the pay
roll in his place. But there is no such
provision in the army regulations, and
the paymastcr general says an amend

A reporter for The Monitor recently

A REMARKABLE CASE.

Tho following case was printed originally
In The Monitor, q newspaper published at
Mendford, Ontario. Doubts were raised as
to its truthfulness, consequently a close
watch was kept on the case for two years
and the original statement has now been
completely verified.
Mr.. Petch had been a hopeless paralytic
for five years. His case has had wide at
tention. He was confined to his bed, was
blonted almost beyond recognition, and
could not take solid food. Doctors called
the disease spinal sclerosis, and all said he
could not live. The Canadian Mutual Lifo
Association, after thorough examination,
paid him his total disability claim of 81 $50,
regarding him as forever incurnble.
