Chicago Times Herald: Boston has
gone to the relief Of Porto Rico in
a manner that ought to make people In
other parts of the country who have
neglected to respond blush for shame.
We learn from the big. black, double
column headlines in the esteemed Bos-
ton Globe that Boston sends dried fish
and beans"
This, as every intelligent reader will
readily understand. means much. 1t is
as IL Milwaukee were giving up her ev-
cry bottle Of beer; at is a woman were
parting with her last Jewel. When
Boston sends dried FISH and beans to
far-away people in distress it is time
to conclude that the anti-imperialIsts OF
that city still have In them some Of the
attributes OF Christian fellowship. They
may be willing that half-civlllzed peo-
pie on distant islands should, in the
absence of stable governments, loot and
shoot and cut the throuts Of one an
other, but they are not willing to per-
nit people even on the ISLANDS OF the
sea to starve, though they themselves
must so without Goldfish and without
beans for days at time.
Eighteen thousand two hundred
pounds of dried fish is now on the way
from Boston to Porto Rico, and we
know not how many barrels of beans,
but we are assured by the Boston pa
pers that the bulk is great. So glory
be to Bostonl The example of the no.
bic inhabitants Of that city should be an
aspiration to the rest Of the American
people. II the BostonIans are willing
to give up their Goldfish and beans why
should the rest of US hesitate when ask
ed for dollars?

Speculative sentiment was unsettled
to-day, and the course of prices
changed several times. and was very
irregular all day. Net changes are
mostly on the side OF gains, and In
group OF Industrial specIalties the
closing was at the best prices. but In
the railroad stocks. which started on
with quite demonstration of strength
net advances are generally below the
extreme rise. The upward impulse at
the opening was due to the much more
cheerful feeling in London regarding
the TransvaaI outlook. Buying for
London account was about equal to
yesterdays selling for the same ac-
count. There was some covering also
by local bears, who sold yesterday on
the Transvaal war scare. The actlvi-
ty in the railroads fell OF very large
~ after the first hour. With the
comparative dullness of railroads and a
reaction in prices on realizing came re-
newed activity In the Industrial speclul-
ties, which continued the rest of the
day. The tobacco stocks and the To-
cal stocks were attacked by the bears
for eject on the general market, and
Tennessee Coal was under pressure. on
the other hand, Brooklyn Transit con"
tlnucd to be vigorously supported with
n view to the discontinue Of the short
interest. Sugar showed symptoms OF
n desire to cover on the part Of the
bears. The Iron and steel group were
benefited by the continued active de-
mand for the Republic steel Issues,
which lifted the common stock ~ per
cent. In the late trading Federal
steel forged to the front, and rose
rapidly to elk, an extreme 81 per cent
gain. The municipal stocks rallied
from their previous depression, and the
rather buoyant tone OF the Industrlals
imported sympathetic tlrmness to the
railroad list. In the latter division Of

MARRIAGE AND DIvoRCE-DECREE
OF NULLITY.-In the pension case of
Mary j. Vaugn the claimant was pensioned
as widow up to date of remarriage. Sub
sequently, Being deserted by her second
husband, she entered proceedings to have
her remarriage nullifed on the alleged
ground that her second husband had an
undvorced wife living at the time of her
marriage to him. The husband was not
represented in the proceedings, Of which @
says he had no notice, though his where
abouts were known, and on the evidence
submitted, the Court granted decree of
annulment. The claimants application
for restoration of her pension was rejected,
after special examination, on the ground
that the remarriage was valid and that tie
decree of annulment was obtained by fraud
and therefore not binding.
By decision rendered assistant Secre-
tary Davis, Aug. 25, 1899 the rejection is
sustained on the ground that "as the Gov
eminent was not party to said nullity
proceedings, and as it is shown that said
decree was procured by fraud, it is not
bound by said decree; and as the. other
evidence filed to show the invalidity OF said
marriage is insufficient to show that Patton
was previously married, claimants mar
riuge " him must be held to be valid"

It is possible that you may be entitled to
the original bounty of S100 under this
provision. Notwithstanding that at the time
of your discharge with the regiment be-
cause of the expiration of its term 1.-TWO
years. you had not quite served the full
two years. If your possible title under
above law has already been considered by
the Treasury Department, probably nothing
further can be done.
