TO CHANGE PENSION RULINGS.

G. A. X. Committee Presented to the
President the Encampmenrs Requests,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE G.. A. r.
committee on pension legislation pre-.
sented to the president the report
adopted at the eucampment asking for
q modification Of certain pension
rules. The committee consisted of +.
B. Brown of GAINESVILLE, o.. chairman;
General A. D. Shaw, commander.in.
chief; Major J. W. Burst of Sycamore.
Ills; General Daniel E. Sickles of New
York, Charles Clark Adams of Boston
and Past Commander-in-Ch Chief John NJ
Palmer. The report asked the presi-
dent if he deemed it within his author
ity SO to do to issue an executive order
to the effect that in determining the
pensionable status Of a soldier and in
fixing his rate of pension the several
disabilities which he may have sus.
tanned shall be grouped and taken into
consideration.
The report further asked the presi-
dent to direct that the practice of refus-
ing pensions TO widows of soldiers who
have incomes of $50 year or more, be
discontinued and that the limit of in-
$3.50 year.
The committee stated that Commits
sioner Evans favored these suggestions,
but thought the remedy laid with con-
gress. The president assured them that
their remarks would have the fullest
consideration.

Trains, Worry, disease and Death.

Late trains are source Of annoyance
to everybody. The British Medical
Journal dwells upon the very serious
result produced by them upon the
health of travellers. The rush to the
station to catch the train which may
perchance be punetual; the weary wait
on drafty platforms or in stuffy wait
ing rooms: the dilatory journey-all
these, We are told, add seriously to the
labor Of the day even in the best of
times, but when the weather is cold
and damp they are still more injurious
and in that they are largely responsible
for those ''colds," as they are called,
those conditions Of depressed vitality
which are the starting points of most
of the acute diseases from which men
suffer and from which the elderly and
the feeble die.
