-Four widows of revolutionary veterans
are still on the pension roll, although the
war of the revolution ended 100 years
ago. They range in age from So TO 90.
Seven daughters OF revolutionary soldiers
are still drawing pensions. OF the $780,
100000 which has been paid in revolu-
tionary pensions S20,000,000 was drawn
by widows. One pensioned survivor Of
the war of 1912 remains. He is Hiram
Cronk, 90 years old, and his home is in
northwestern New York. The last pen
stoned soldier of the revolution did not
die until 1869. He was 100 years 6
months and days old. He lived in Free
dom, n. Y. More widows than soldiers
of the war of 1912 were pensioned. In
that war 296,916 soldiers served sixty
days or more. The pensioned were go
600 soldiers and $4,000 widows. To the
sole survivor of the war of 1912 the Gov
ernmeES is now paying $193 a year, and
to widows of that war $293, 097. To Mex
lean veterans the payments now are ST.
101 1874, and TO widows of Mexican war
soldiers, $S1S,067 On the Union side the
enlistments for the civil war were 2,77S,-
1874. OF these there died in service 349, :
944. The pensions paid on account of
the civil war amount to $1,000, 900, 900,
and there are now on the pension rolls
991,519 veterans and widows. The PEN
sioners who died last year numbered A.

it is estimated, there will be a reduction
of the pensions to $50, 000,0 in the next
fifteen years, a little more than one-half
of the present annual appropriation.
