PENSION LAW CHANGES.


On the S0th of June, 1899, the pension
roll Of the United States numbered 991, 519.
These INCLUDE the pensioners of the
army and navy in all our wars. The num-
Der added to the rolls during the year
was 1891. The number dropped by rea-
son of death, remarriage, minors by legal
limitation, failure to claim within three
years and other causes, was 43, 1885, and
the number of claims disallowed was
107g9. During the year SS,Oo4 pension
certificates were issued of which 81 OF
were for new or original pensions. The
amount disbursed for army and navy
pensions during the year was $685. 1885,
052 50, which was 81, 651, 461 81 less than
the sum of the appropriations.
WIDOWS INCOME CLAUSE.
The Grand Army of the Republic, at
its recent national encampment, held in
Philadelphia, has brought to my atten-
ton and to that OF the congress the
wisdom and justice of a modification of
the third section of the act of June "a,
1890, which provides pensions for the
widows of officers and enlisted men who
served 80 days or more during the war
of the rebellion and were honorably dis
charged, provided that such widows are
without other means of support than
their daily labor, and were married to
the soldier, sailor of marine on account
of whose service they claim pension prior
to the date of the act The present hold
ing of the department is that if the
widows income aside from her daily la
Dor uOeS not exceed III amount what ner
pension would be, to wit $96 per annum,
she would be deemed to be without other
means of support than her daily labor,
and would be entitled to pension under
this act; while If the Widows income, in
dependent Of the amount received by her
as the result of her daily labor, exceeds
S96 per annum she would not be pension
able under the act / am advised by the
commissioner of pensions that the
amount of the income allowed before
title to pension would be barred has
varied widely under different administra-
tions of the pension Office, as we'll as dur

complaint and criticism

Kidney Trouble
Prcys Upon The Mind.
Women Well Men Suffer and Are Made Miserable
By Kidney and Bladder Troubles.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessons ambition;
beauty, vigor and cheerfulness grad
ually disappear, when the kidneys are
out of order.
Kidney trouble has become so prev
alent that it is not uncommon for a
child to be born afflicted with weak
kidneys.
Pains, aches and rheumatism come
from excess of uric acid in the blood
due to neglected kidney trouble
Kidney trouble often causes quick or
unsteady heart-beats and makes one
feel as though they had heart trouble,
because the heart is overworked, in
pumping thick, kidney-poisoned blood
through the veins and arteries.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys IS the chief cause of bladder trou-
BILE, followed by suffering so painful to
many that life is made miserable.
The bladder is situated in front of
and very close to the womb and for
that reason any pain, distress, disease
or inconvenience manifested in the kid
neys, back, bladder or urinary passage
is often, by mistake, attributed to fe-
male weakness or womb trouble of
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be as easily avoided by pay
ing little attention to the condition
of the urine.
Fill n bottle or common glass with
your urine and let it stand twenty
four hours; a sediment or settling indi-
Gates an unhealthy condition of the

that the kidneys and bladder need
prompt attention.
The symptoms you have noticed are
the danger signals nature sets to show
that the track of health is not clear.
Take the advice of one who has made
a life study of just such conditions and
look well to yourself, because you have
kidney trouble.
Brights disease which is destroying
more human lives than any other dis
ease, may be stealing upon you.
There is comfort in knowing that DR..
Kilmers Swamp-Root, the great kidney

discovery of the eminent kidney spe-
cialist, DIR. Kilmer, and is used in the

extent with the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois now hold a majority interest in
the property. Most of the improvements
which a recently been made in
the way of new equipment, heavier rails
and better roadbed, have been at the in
stance of the new interest now in control.
The payment of the interest on the second
bonds was forced by the present controll-
ing element, very much against the
wishes of the Goulds, who preferred to
take money out of the treasury. Mr..
Gould retains the presidency, but takes
no active part in the management of the

The connecting line of about 81 miles,
which will run from the northern termin-
us of the st. Louis Southwestern to the
southwestern terminus of the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois, will, it is expected, be
completed within about 30 days. When this
is actually finished both branches can be
operated over a shorter route than any
except the Illinois Central, which,
however, has the disadvantage of not
having as good port facilities on the gulf
as a be offered by the Southwestern.

Will Result in Benefit to
the Americans.
THE MINIMUM TARIFF
Rates on Nearly All the Goods That
We Ship to France Will be in
Force When the Treaty Goes
Into Effect.

New York, July 26.-Edwin Bruewert,
French consul at New York. says OF the
new reciprocity treaty between France
and the United States:
Il regard it as an excellent thing for
the United States. America was the only
country which did not have the benefit of
our minimum tariff. AS the manufacture
ers abroad are satisfied with a profit of 5
per cent. the difference between the max
imun and minimum rates was sufficient
to keep the United States out of the
French market. Frances annua impor-
tation of manufactured articles is about
$3.50. 600, 600, and the United States will
get q good share of this. America un-
dersellS England in cotton goods in China
and there is nc reason why it can do the
same in France. 1t will be the same
with other articles. England, Belgium,
Germany and Austria now supply Franc
with her imported manufactured arti-
cles. The leading imports are raw cot
ton, wheat, tobacco, mineral oil. copper
and lead. America sends agricultural i'm
plements, sewing machines. electrical APP
planes and pumps.
There are 62 articles on the dutiable
list of the French tariff, and the treaty
gives the United States the minimum rate
on all except u. Germany, England and
the other countries which have treaties
with France do not enjoy the minimum
rate on these II exceptions. which are
chiefly agricultural products. The aver
age difference between the French maxi
mum and minimum rate is 33 per cent, so
that imports from this country will pay
one-third less duty when the treaty goes
into effect. There are 463 dutiable items in
the tariff law of the United States, and in
return for her concessions France will
nhfoifo q ny.np of0 IN 1D~, <l~, 100 80
them, the average reduction being only
10 per cen While this seems one-sided.
it is not so much so as it appears, be-
cause American goods have been sent
into France as English goods under the
minimum tariff. l do not think that the
treaty can go into effect before next
February. 1t must be ratified here and
in France and ratified by both presidents.
"This treaty marks az new era for the
United States. There will be eventually
opposition to American imports in for
eign countries, and it will be wise for the
United States to make treaties before the
opposition become too strong. Mr.. Kas-
son, who negotiated the treaty for the
United States, has lived much abroad.
and I think he takes a broad view of the
situation for seeing what must happen in
the future. France has given all she can
give, because with her 81, 900, 900, 900 Of ma
tiOnal debt she cannot reduce her tariff
any further. We did not get what we
asked by any means, but we obtained all
the United States was willing to give.
We realized that the treaty must be such
that congress would approve it, and
France deferred to President Mckinley's
wish on that account
