THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.

The newspaper in the collection hav-
ing the honor of greatest age is the
London Gazette OF 1865 and subsequent
years. II chronicles each day the
CHASTITY phenomena of the terrible
plague. A complete file Of the London
Times, from its advent in 177s. Is one
Of the possessions of the library. OF
the early American newspapers one of
the most interesting is the Herald, a
Gazette for the Country, showing that
the name Herald did not originate with
BENEFITS Herald, first published in
1865. In the issue OF the Herald of
June 4, 1894, appear two letters from
George Washington, one OF them ad-
dressed to Lord Burnham, friend OF
American independence. One OF the
oldest of American newspapers in the
collection Is the New York Gazette Of
1743. which was succeeded by the
Gazette and Postboy. There are files
of number OF papers Of New York,
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston. Of
the time Of the revolution, and several
OF them antedating that period by
some years. One OF the most amusing
of the older publications is the Penn
syyania Gazette. started in 1861 by " b.
Franklin. postmaster II contains
drawings OF the New Jersey lottery,
advertisements OF Poor Richards Al
manac and OF many runaway slaves.
II would seem that Frank
lin himself must have been
a Shareholder, as there are
advertisements signed by him OF ser
wants who had concluded that there
was somewhere a larger freedom than
could be found even in the household
OF the great subsequent revolutionist.
The Pennsylvania Chronicle. publisher
4 in 1867 and after, Is another notable
possession OF the library. OF the for

The Old-age pension act Of New Zea-
land is the outgrowth of the agitation
by the Progressive party which con-
trolls the lower house of the New Zea-
land Legislature. The measure was
twice defeated, and after a desperate
struggle was carried in 1893. AS final
ly shaped, this statute provides that
any New Zealander, whether male or
female, who has reached the age of Is,
if he or she has lived at least twenty
five years in the colony, shall be emit
tied to $1.73 a week, or about 800
year. Only those, however, whose an
nual income from any source is less
than $17O are entitled to the full pen
sion. For every SIS of excess over the
amount of income specified S. is to be
deducted from the pension. Should,
therefore, the private income exceed
$11O by 500 year, no state pension is
payable. Then, again, if one be pos
sessed of accumulated property, the
net value Of which is $4,000, he or
she ceases to be entitled to any allow
ance from the pension fund. Where a
husband and wife are living together
their united income must amount to
$500, or their united property to $4,000,
before they are disentitled to any al
lowance from the pension fund. They
may have between them an income of
$40, or as much as $3.50 in accumu-
lated property, and yet be entitled to
draw their respective pensions in full.
There are moral as well as pecuniary
qualifications for pension. The act,
for example, draws the line against
persons who, within twenty-five years
Of applying for a pension, have been
five years in prison for some serious
crime, or within twelve years of appli-
cation have been convicted of one or
more lighter but trif1ing offenses. A
husband or a wife is disqualified if
either has been guilty of desertion for
six months. In general, the applicant
must be able to show that he is of good
moral character and, for five years pre-
ceding the date of application, has been
leading sober and reputable life Even
after pension is allowed, it is for
feited If the pensioner is guilty of
crime bringing upon him a sentence of
twelve months imprisonment, or if he
becomes an habitual drunkard. More
over, If pensioner is guilty of any Of
Tense punishable by Imprisonment for
not less than one month, the court may
deprive him of one or more Install
ments Of his pension, or, at it's discre-
ton, may order the installment to be
paid to some reputable person for his
benefit. 1t may be added that the old
age pension proposition is being con-
siderably agitated throughout Europe,
and especially of late in England.
