QUIET DETECTIVE WORK.
Former President CIeveIand,s DevO-
tfon to Details in u Pension Case.

Il had an interesting and unexpected
experience with former President Cleve-
land during his last term said naval
officer of high rank to a Washington
Star writer, which taught me a lesson
ought to have known before, and illus
trates how he sometimes went behind
the record when he wished to inform him.
self as to the accuracy of official docu-
ments.
II was at the time chief of a division
in the navy department. A woman,
whose name it is not necess Ary to men
ton, used to annoy me greatly by solicit
ing my aid to secure her place as
charwoman in the war, state and navy
building. She would come to my Office
every day until her prese Ice became ex-
ceedingly distasteful to me.
One day she produced a petition for a
pension of $50 a month for disabilities al
legged to have been incurred in an exple-
sion in the old arsenal building in the
reservation on the Potomac during the
war, and where she had been employed
in some capacity. The petition was
headed by the name of, an officer Su-
perior in rank to myself and bore half a
dozen names Of other p sons of com
parative prominence in the capital To
get rid of her I affixed my signature
Her private pension bill was finally
taken up and passed by congress. 1t w rs
vetoed by Mr.. Cleveland. Before the
veto message was sent up to the capitol
was visited by a polite young man
who said that he represented the presi-
dent. He desired to know whether 1 was
personally acquainted with the applicant
said that / was not. He asked if, I
knew anything of her antecedentS, the
nature Of the wounds, her past and pres
ent moral character, all Of which 1 hSd
vouched for to the president by my sigma
ture to her petition. 1 was forced to
confess, to my great chagrin, as l was
personally acquainted with the presi-
dent, that 1 knew nothing about her be-.
yond what 1 had seen of her in my Of
fee.
MY polite inquisitor then informed me
that private inquiries made at the In
stance of the president had proved the
falsity of her petition in all respects save
that she hau been employed by the gov
eminent at the time of the explosion.
Nothing in the papers showed that she
had been in the building at the time tf
the explosion, aid she was otherwise I'M
worthy of governmental assistance.
I'm his veto message Mr. Cleveland
made those in the war, state and navy
building feel uncomfortable by his sar-
sactic remarks about officers and gentle
men who testified to the character and
worthiness of those of whom they knew
nothing, and scored congress for passing
a bill with the proof of injuries absent
from the record.
SIN Washington the petition-signing
habit, formerly much in vogue, has fall
en- into disfavor, and officials are very
cautious upon whose petitions they place
their signatures"
