WIDOWS REASONABLE STATUS
An Important DeciAi0n by Assfstant
Secretary Davis.

An Important Decihi0n by Assistant
Secretary Davis.
Webster Davis, assistant secretary Of the
interior, has just rendered a number of de-
cfsions in pension cases, among them being
enc of especial interest as bearing upon the
reasonable stetus of widows under the act
of June q, 1890. The claim is that of Mary,
widow of Aug stus H. Salisbury, late pri-
vate. Company D. 4th Wisconsin Volunteer
Infantry.
In this case the assistant secretary de-
cides that:
1T is shown from the eviderce that the
claimant is possessed Of a life interest in a
house and lot situated in the city of Minnie
apolis. Mimi. worth from 5000 to 5000,
from which she derives an annual income
Of $40, and a one-third undivided interest
in lot IN said city, worth from 81 800 to
$1,000. and IN 800 acres of land In South
Dakota, besides come stocks and uncollect-
ed accounts of uncertain amount and value
and therefore she is not without other
means Of support than her daily labor
within the meaning Of the provisions of
section 3, act of June %, 1890. and is not
entitled to pension Hereunder"
The action of the pension bureau was re-
versed in the following cases:
Milo B. Stevens & Co., attorneys, claim
for fee in the case of Jacob c. Spires, late
Company E. Both Ohio Volunteer Infantry.
that:
Attorneys are not bound by fee agree
ments limited in their application to
claim for increase on account of new dis
ability. to prosecute a claim for straight
increase"
The other cases in which the pension bu-
reau Is reversed are as follows:
Claim of James w. Miller, late Company
B, list d. c. Cavalry: claim of Martin l..
Lime, late Company H. Seth Illinois Infant
~; Edward Whitehouse, elias Edward Will
iems, late Company b, Sth Connecticut In
fantry: claim Of Elijah eth B., widow of Os-
car w. Phares. late Company F, 51st Mis-
souri, Volunteer Infantry. In this latter
case, which was a widows claim under the
act of June q. 1880, the assistant secretary
says:
''The evidence shows that the claimant is
without other means Of support than her
6aily labor, notwithstanding that she owns
a house and lot worth 5000 and a half in
terest in house and lot worth 500, from
which she derives no revenue.
THE evidence in this case shows that
claimant is practically without support as
her half interest in the property yields her
little or nothing, and where the resources
consist only of the home of the claimant.
and which. without her daily labor, would
fall far short of furnishing a support, and
the rental value of which would be wholly
inadequate for her support, she should not
be required to wholly exhaust her resources
and deprive herself of a shelterng roof in
her old age before she is deened sufficient
ly dependent. Her claim should, therefore,
be allowed"

LANCASTER-Ledger, November
16: Abe Peay, colored, found a 5-gallon
keg which contained about two gallons
of whisky, near the Carmel colored
campground, one day last week. 1t
was concealed in some bushes on a
small branch. 1t is likely that tiger
was dispensing it during the meeting,
month or so ago, and from imbibing
too freely himself, lost the way to his
lair. 1.-The session of Douglas church

on him, and colored man nearby ran
to him and extinguished the fire. The
child's body was horribly burned and
it died on Sunday. Coroner Young

THE PLEASURE OF HIS COMPANY
A San Francisco hostess, famous fol-
her tact and resourcefulness, tells q
good story on herself. 1t seems that
an officer in one of the Tennessee
companies, a very shy young man,
brought letters with him when his regi.
ment came to the coast, and presented
himself one evening at the Qet US say,
Van Ness avenue residence. AS he
was the son of wellknown public
man and q member of an old family
his hostess exerted herself to entertain
him.
awe should be glad to have the
pleasure of your company Friday at
dinner" she said as he was leaving
"the Hawaiian commissioners are to be
with u.s."
Friday came and the commission.
Shortly before the hour for dinner the
butler excitedly entered the the room.
"They's a regiment of soldiers, mum,
outside"
"No doubt in honor of the commits
sioners; will tell them"
Just then the lieutenant was an
nounced.
"When you are ready" he said, 81
will have the men march to their
places in formation"
"Why," said the lady, "what men p
otis my company" was the reply,
"all but 10, and they're very sorry, but
