| House bill 1075-A1r. Norton introduced
| bill providing for pensions to soldiers, sail
ors, and marines on account of disability
contracted while In the service; also a ser
vice pension on the per diem plan.
! The first section of this bill does not
change existing provisions of law. except
| that it requires an honorable discharge.
which is not now necessary In the grant
ing of pension for disability contracted in
| the service and line of duty.
The second and third sections provide
| per diem pension Of such sum per month
as shall be equal to cent per day for
each and every day served between April
| 10. 1861. and July 1, 1865.
Section relates to permanently disabled
| minor children and is substantially the
same as the present law.
Section gives the right Of election as
to whether the beneficiary will receive a
pension under the first section of the bill.
OF on the per diem plan. but no one shall
receive more than one pension at the same
time.
Section fixes date Of commencement of
| pension on the per diem plan on January 1,
| 1899
Section provides for "deserter's dis
charge" but prohibits the soldier or sailor
from receiving pension by virtue of such
| discharge His widow or minor children,
however, are given title TO the per diem
pension under this bill.
Section 6 repeats all special acts of Con-
gress granting pensions to individuals.
Section y repeats the act OIL June "a, lS9U,
but provides for the protection of those
now pensioned under that act by the SER
| vice pension law on the per diem plan.
AS this bill proposes to repeal all special
acts of Congress granting pensions and the
act of June q. 1890. 1t will probably never
be taken up for consideration by Congress.
Pensions to Army Nurses.

House bin 1054-Mr Grout introduced bill
for the relief Of Union soldiers who were
confined I'm southern prisons.
This bill provides that all soldiers who
are now drawing or may hereafter draw
pensions for disability incurred in the war
of the rebellion shall receive for each and
every thirty days confinement In confed-
crate prisons the sum of 81 per month I'm
addition to the sum they may be entitled
to under existing law.
In the adjudication of claims for pension
where the soldier was a prisoner of war
that fact is always taken into consideration
and the proof of origin required in this
class of cases is generally waived by the
bureau in favor Of the claimant. The pen
sion now provided by Law is granted largely
upon the basis Of the soldiers long confine-
ment In confederate prisons, and the benA-
fit of every doubt is given to the claimant
in this class of cases.
1t is estimated that the average period
of confinement of Union soldiers in confed-
crate prisons was about six months, and
under the terms of this bill those who are
now pensioned under the general law and
who were prisoners OF war would receive q
pension of Slz per month in addition TO
that which they now receive.
There are no reliable sources of Informs
ton by which an estimate can be made OF
the number of persons who would become
benehciaries under this bill, but 81 would
undoubtedly operate to increase by a large
amount the annual value of the pension
roll.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-12-18

for fifteen years would require a sum
amounting to about s3o9.oo00o0.
1t is safe to estimate the entire cost OF
this bill if enacted into law at Sooo'ro.ooo'
in addition TO the present a1tiiuai app
priation of $144,o00.0o9.

Publication of Pension Roll.
Senate bill 149l-Mr. Sullivan introduced
bill providing for the publication OF the
pension roll.
This bill provides for the publication on
or before July /, 1900. and thereafter as
Congress may direct, list of pensioners OF
the United States. Said list to be In the
form of pamphlets, one pamphlet for each
state and territory and one for the District
of Columbia.

and the rank then held. and the date and
place and manner of termination OF service
and the rank then held. and from what
date pension was originally granted. with
dates and amounts of Increase. If any.
The last two clauses of this bill would
practically defeat its purpose, for the rea-
son that the information indicated would
require an individual examination Of the
papers in every claim. and the careful ex-
animation of the military record of each
and every soldier represented on the PEN

great magnitude as to practically render It

Payment ofbArrears.


House bill 1866 introduced by Mr.. Curtis
10 remove the ~limtfA HoB,in the payment Of
arrears of pensioiaa eoa
This bill is Substantially copy of the
act of March, g., ls1o, which repealed the
limitation as to date CT fling claims and
granted arrears in ALT Gases where the
declaration was flgsd pr1hr to July 1, 1880.
When the act ofsAfarch 3, 1879. was pass
ed an appropriation MT $4,000, 600 was
provided to pay th11 arrears in claims which
had been acknowledgements that date, and
that amount wassaxpeRsled within the fol-
lowing year or tudh.1THis amount did not
include the expenAsa ures' arising under the
act In future allo%ancts These were pro-
vided for In the feSulaf appropriation bill
Tor the payment OF pensions.
All Gains of intxhd and dependent rela-
tives filed since July l. 1880. and allowed
since that date have been adjudicated as
from the date of fling the claim. Thus
where soldier filed claim in 1895 his
pension commenced. at that date, but I'M
der the operation of this bill he would be
emitted to arrears of pension from date of
his discharge SAY from 1869 to 1888. n
period of thirty-two years.
1t is estimated that this bill would on
crate to grant arrears In about 13O, 600 cases
at an average of $50 per year, and for an
average period of six years, requiring an
expenditure of $46,0 900. 900. 1t would also
provide for arrears III about 10000 cases Of
deceased pensioners, requiring an expendi-
tGre of 81, 200. 00Q "a
TO provide for the payment of arrears IN
claims now pending would require an addf-
tional appropriation of S300p0 900, or a
total increase in the annual appropriation
OF about $50, 00O, 600
There are now In the files of the bureau
$4,000 abandon ed claims which would be

MRS. JOHN ENDERs, SR.
Death OF This WeII-Known Indy

( Win the death Of Mrs. Mary Jane
Enders. which occurred at her home in
this city, yesterday morning. a beautiful
lie closed. Mrs. Enders was the relict
OF Mr.. John Enders, ST., and the daugh-
ter OF the late Daniel Foster and Mary
Field Burchett, of Petersburg. She was
united in marriage to Mr.. Enders in 1914.
and all OF her married life had been spent
here, where she had, by the sweetness
and graeiousness OF her nature, her con-
slant desire 10 give pleasure to others,
ana her interest IN all good works, bound
TO her hosts Of friends in every walk.
Mrs. Enders did not long survive her
consort, whose Watchful. chivalrous, and
courtly devotion 10 her continued to tho
end Of his days, and made him no less
tho model husband than she was the
mode! wife. This devotion she recipIo-
Gated with a strength that was only
eQualled by her tenderness as a mocher.
The two We're almost inseparable. and
in the sunset OF their lives their COM
partnership was a touching picture Of the
loyalty OF true affection even TO the brink
OF eternity.
For many years the old Enders ,esi-
dence. now occupied by Or. Hugh Tay-
lor. was noted for its hospitality, and
during the civil war Mrs Enders proved
IN her care OF wounded and sick Confede-
rate soldiers that she was as gentle and
competent a nurse as she was a thought
ful and attractive hostess.
Mrs Enders leaves four children-Mrs.
Sally Conner. widow OF General James
Conner, OF Charleston, 5. c.; Mrs. Caskle
Cabell. Mrs. Blunt Mason. and Mr.. John
Enders Jr.
