NTHE ,JURY."

Letters from members Of the G. A. r
National Pension Committee indicate tEa
very many comrades in writing to them
have made the mistake of thinking tEa'
the members can help them with theil
claims and secure justice. Many of then
want replies to their letters. This shows
an entirely mistaken notion of the func
tions of the Committee The Committee
consists of comrades who are engaged il
different lines Of business. and have nc
special knowledge of pension practice. II
is not TO be expected that they can give
advice as to particular cases, or even
answer letters. They give their services
gratuitously and have no funds from
which topay stenographers andtypewrite S.

the verdict in the case of "The veterans and

THERE has been quite scare over the
development OF a serious invasion of the
yellow fever into the Soldiers Home at
Hampton, Va. Last Sunday it was dis
covered that there were 90 unmistakable
cases in the Home, of whom had died,
and there was Immediately something like
a panic inWashington, Norfolk, Richmond,
Hampton, Newport News, Baltimore, etc.
Every precaution was at once taken TO
combat the plague. A rigid quarantine
was established around the Home, and the
Marine Hospital Service and the Surgeon
General Immediately sent a corps OF able
medical experts to the scene. The garri-
Son at Fort Monroe was ordered North.
The Home contains about $500 inmates,
but it's condition OF cleanliness and SANTA
ton, under the able management OF Gov.
P. I. Woodfnn, is such as 10 give the most
favorable prospects for limiting the ravages
of the plague. Since the first discovery
seven more cases have developed, but the
disease is believed to be under control.
The infection is supposed to have been
brought by an old soldier who came to the
home for a short rest, after a Southern tour
which took in Santiago de Cuba. Gov.
Woodffnn and his subordinates have be-
haYed exceedingly well during the scare,
and there has been no panic among the
inmates.
