assay carrying tifty.six per cent lead In
addition to the value given in gold and
silver.
The work to be done will be directly on
the ore vein and the character Of the ore
is such as will permit Of rapid sinking,

STORY OF A SLAVE

To be bound hand and foot for

the worst form of slavery. Geo.

been SO helpless for FIVE years that
she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles
of Electric Bitte-s, she is wonder>
fully imp. eyed and able to do her
own work " This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures

ferences exist between the Gu,
bans and Spaniards, or between
the Cubans and Americans, or
among the Cubans themselves. On
the contrary, all is going well.
An old institution, the Cuban
army, is being dissolved; the peo>

pendence. A national party,
which opens its arms to receive
all without asking questions as to
where they were during the war,
is being formed. More could not

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered ard Sugges=
tionS Made.

p. G., ST. Laurence County.-It is not
alone question OF income in widows
claims for pension under the act of June 81,
1890; the ownership of property having a
market value of as much as $1,000 will
usually bar title, irrespective of the matter of
income. An income of 500 per year from
sources other than the wide w's own labor
will usually lar title under the act of 1890.
j. II. j., Kansas City, kdn.-Twelve
dollars per month is the highest rate al
lowed under the act of 1890. The fact that
the disabilities you were claiming add
tional pension on under the general law
were included in your act of 1890 pension
does not settle the question as to whether
they were incurred in service and line of
duty; but you are at liberty to proceed with
the old claim at any time, and if it is favor
ably considered you may get more than s12.
L. B., Decatur, Ark Amy rejected rem
sion ella i'm may be appealed to the Secretary
Of the Interior, and all the evidence will be
considered.
e. W. f., Victory. Tenn.-No provision
is made by the pension laws for the chill
dren of living soldiers.
