A Statement by the Pension Commits
 sioner. Washington, Oct. 10.-There has been a wide circulation given to the story originating at the recent annual en- campment of the G. A. R. at Cincin- nati. that commissioner of pensions had called his chiefs together and in- structed them to disregard totally ev- cry application based on deafness and rheumatism in the adjudication of claims for pensions"
 The commissioner authorizes the fol- lowing statement:
 First-No such instructions were given.
 Second-As to deafness" the medi- cal referee of the bureau, Dr. D. F. Drew, says there has been no change in the adjudfcation of claims for deaf ness" since the present schedule of rat ings, which was approved of, in ac- cordance with the act of 1888.
 Third-As to rheumatism, the present chief of the board of review, Colonel F. D. Stephenson, also prominent G. A. R. man, says there has been no change in adiudication of claims for rheuma- tism since he came to the bureau in 1869.
 Fourth-There has probably not been a single working day passed since April 1. 1897, that there has not been certifi- cates issued for both deafness and rheumatism.
 There has been no change in the laws and therefore no change in the practice during the present administration.

 The Union Veterans union has adopt ed a new feature in it's funeral ritual, which was practiced for the first time at the grave of the late Joseph F. Kelly in Shelton. Instead of the customary tribute of flowers each member was provided with a small American flag, which he deposited on the casket hold ing the remains of his dead comrade. As the veterans say, 1t was for the flag they fought and the decking of the cas- l1et with this emblem of the country is far more appropriate than with flowers, however beautiful the latter may be.

LACE TWO HUNDRED YEARS OLD


 Peculiar interest attaches to the Lee Nelson marriage, which took place in New London, Wednesday, in the fact that the bride wore a piece of lace which had also been worn by her great, great, great, great grandmother two hundred years ago, in 1898, when the latter was married.
 Hope Nelson was the old lady's name and she lived to the extraordinary age of 105 years, 6 months, 20 days. Then she did not die natural death, but being left alone one day seated in her arm chair alongside the old-fash- toned fireplace, something occurred to attract her attention and she started to get out of the chair and fell headfirst into tn fireplace, where she was found smothered to death. She had lived eighty-six years after her marriage.
 Dr. Nelson. also one of her descend ants, still has the old arm chair, which was brought over from England.
