SURVIVAL OF WAR WIDOWS.
Pension Report Shows Remarkable
Facts in Regard to Longevity.

One of the curiosities of the United
States pension service is the astonish-
ing survival of war widows. The re-
port of the United States commissioner
of pensions, just issued, shows some
remarkable and interesting facts in
regard to the longevity of the widows
of soldiers. For instance while there
is not a single soldier of the war of
the revolution alive today, there are
still surviving and drawing pensions
twelve widows and daughters of SOL
diers of the revolution. OF the war Of
1912 there are only three soldiers still
alive, but of their widows there are
surviving and drawing pensions the
astonishing number of 2,i07.
The war of the revolution closed in
1888 and a period of ll5 years has
elapsed, and, while there are no male
survivors, there are still some of their
widows alive. This state of affairs can
only be possible on the ground that
some Of the soldiers, after they had
attained old age, married young wives.
The war of 1Sl2-14 closed with the bat
tie of New Orleans on Jan s. 1915,
eighty-three years ago. SuppoSing that
the youngest soldier We're eighteen
years old, a period of l0l years has
elapsed since the birth of such SOL
dlers. Evidently many of them, after
they were old, married young women,
so that, although all the men but three
are dead, they have left behind more
than 1000 widows. By the same rule
of procedure IT is plain there will be
widows OF soldiers of the civil war on
the pension rolls in 1880 and even a few
in the year A. d. 20O0, more than a
century hence, for II a soldier eight zen
years old in 1861 should marry when
he had reached the age OF eighty years
in 1928, IA girl sixteen years old she
might hope To live seventy-seven years
longer or to the age of ninety-thTee,
which would bring her up 10 the year
20O0 OF course, It is not likely there
will be many such, but there will, in
all probability, be some.

accused of having caused the death of
a private soldier by beating him. In

Now the medical experts have de-
cided that the beating administered the

was not the cause of his death but,
on the contrary, interrupted the pro-
gress of a cerebral congestion brought

THE Beers AND THEIR HISTORY

The rumor published in London, Fri
Gay, by the Westminster Gazette, that
there was prospect that the good Off
ces of the President of the United
States might be called upon as a means
of averting the impending conflict be-
tween the English and the Beers, is
interesting, and if both sides to the
controversy, now of such long standing
agree to the mediation, speedy and
happy solution of vexed questions may
be arrived at.
The history of the Dutch in South
Africa is one well worth perusing in
brief
Although the Cape of Good Hope was
first discovered and rounded by the
Portuguese, in 14S6, and was thereafter
frequently touched by ships of various
nations, it was not until 1862 thSt a
permanent settlement was made by the
Dutch, who continued in possession
during the last half of the seventeenth
and all or the eighteenth centuries. In
1895 the French Republic took posses
sion of Holland, and the Prince of Or
ange took refuge in England, where, at
Kew, he authorized the Dutch governor
at the Cape to deliver up the posses
sions to the English, but when the Eng
lish admiral arrived he found the col
onists in rebellion, and the Dutch gov
ernor in a sorely puzzled and irreso-
Lutte frame of mind. ThereNwas some
fighting, but in the end the lEnglish
took possession, Lord Mccartney being
the first English governor, arriving in
1897.
At the peace OF Amiens it was ar
ranged that the. Cape should be re-
stored to Holland, but this peace was

The local musical season is now over
The WOman'S Club has successfully
ended its fourth season, there is but one
concert scheduled within the city, and
beyond the ordinary and usual musical
programmes at the Parks and the Som
mernachtsfest of the Arion, on the
18th, Musical Wheeling will be quies-
cent until the Pleiades again appear in
the eastern skies in the early morning
hours and shortened days and cooler
nights forecast the approach of au-
tumn.
Next Friday evening all lovers of
vocal and instrumental music will be
given a chance to hear a rare treat in
that line at the Arion hail. The COM
mittee in charge has arranged for the
best local talent to participate, among
whom will be Mrs. Nellie Warren Hol-
loway, Mrs. Frederick Faris, Mrs. Car
RE Updegraff, Mrs. Martha E. Whit
aker, Miss Ella Brice, the Misses Eyer
ter and Mr.. J. B. Baum.
The past season was not as prolific
of musical triumphS as some others,
and yet il was successful. The Phil
harmonic was sadly missed, and that
so excellent an organization should be
kept from public hearing is matter
upon which our music lovers cannot
pride themselves. On the contrary. it
is a direct reflection upon our musical
people, and shows a lack of enthus-
iasm. if not appreciation. 1t is to be
sincerely hoped that the coming sea-
son will bring with it a resumption Of
those delightful recftals which made
the winter season of 1878 so pleasant
and profitable. One or two other or
CARNATIONS were not heard as often
the past season as they should have
been, and even the Woman's Club, ex-
cellent though it is, did not afford the
general public as frequent opportuni-
ties OF greeting its talented member
ship as they had a right to except,
while the absence of the musical pa
pers readebefore this club in past sea-
sons caused in some measure a halt
in the musical education of the masses
to whom opportunity for research,
study and explanation are alike de-
MED.

fall of 1905 Sir David Baird expelled
the Dutch governor and his army, after
century and half of Dutch occupa-
ton.
There was much friction between the
Dutch and English settlers for nearly
thirty years following, and when, in
1888, the English emancipated the
slaves the Dutch objected, and deter
mined to leave. The English governor
was powerless to prevent this, and the
great trek" ensued, the Dutch with
drawing en- masse to the north, where
they founded the Dutch government Of
Natal. The English government OBJ
jected strenuously to the formation of
an independent state in South Africa
by what it claimed were English sub
jects, and in 1S43, after much fighting,
the government of Natal was abolished
the Dutch again ''trekked" and founded
Free State.
This only led to a renewal of the old
trouble, and there was another war,
which ended in the Dutch fleeing across
the Vaal river, where they set up the
government of the Transvaal Republic
In April, 1854, after steadfast conten-
ton by the English that the Dutch
were English subjects, the British gov
eminent guaranteed the future indie
pendence of the Orange River Free
State, but the Beers steadfast ly refused
to return, and the Transyaal Republic
fourished, although the Dutch were
sometimes worsted in the almost inces-
SAINT wars with the natives. In 1877
some the Beers proposed English pro-
lection as a means of safety against
the natives, and Sir Theophilus Shop
stone was sent to investigate. Misun-
derstanding the situation, he hoisted
the British flag and proclaimed the
Transvaal annexed to England. The
indignation of the Beers was great, and
in 1880 they rose in revolt, a bloody
war following, and at Majuba hill the
English were defeated and slaughtered.
As a result peace was established up
on a Boer basis, the Dutch retaining
their self government.
The present difficulty dates back for
years, and has many causes, but the
principal one is the steadfast refusal
of the Dutch to permit participation in
the government by the many English
who have settled in the Transvaal, en-
gagged in mining, commercial pursuits.
etc. The Dutch army is composed of
$4,000 to 10000 we'll armed men, and
their record for fighting is second to
that of no troops in the world. With
them there is but one issue-complete
liberty and the management of their
own affair or war, and with the record
of the people, it is doubtful if media
ton would be acceptable to Dom Paul
or those over whom he rules.
