TIE G. A. R. PENSION BILL
Ii Receives the Presidents sigma
ture and Becomes a Law.
The Measure Has the Distinction of
Having Passed the House and Sen
ate tnanin0usiy-How 1t Affects
Old Soldiers with Several Minor
Infirmitics-Of Ecnctt to Widows.

President Mckinley has signed the new
providing additional appropriations for in
capacitated soldiers and sailors. and their
widows and orphans. The signing took
place in the Cabinet Room in the presence
Of General Sickes. formerly a member of
the House, and Colonel Patrick aide-de-
camp to the Commander of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
The bill has the unprecedented history
of having passed the House and the SEN
ate unanimously. Leaders of all parties
Joined in endorsing it.
Heretofore. in order TO obtain pension.
the old soldier or sailor must have one
specific infirmity of sufficient importance
to meet the pension regulations on dis
ability. He might have dozen minor in
firmties which would together bar him
completely from work, but unless one of
them was of the requisite seriousness he
could get no pension. The new law pro-
vides that every Union soldier or sailor
in the rebellion. honorably discharged after
ninety days service, shall be entitled to
a pension ranging from Sc to s12 monthly
in case he has any mental or physical dis
ability. The amount of his pension is
graded by the degree of infirmity.
Under the 1890 pension law for widows,
no soldiers widow could receive a PEN
sion if she had a net income from all
sources of 500 or more per year. That
limit is now raised to $3.50 yearly, and
should her income be less than that sum
she is granted a pension of IS per month
during the period of her widowhood. Chill
dren of deceased soldiers and sailors are
granted a pension of 81 each up TO the
age of sixteen.
1T is expected that the increased dis
bursements under the new law will be
from $1,000 900 to s.. 900 annually said
General Sickles yesterday. Colonel Patrick
added that it is believed that the bill will
be interpreted as retroactive back 10 1890.
when the former bill was passed. That
would give large amount of back pay to
the beneficiaries under it.

NO FERTILIZER FACTORIES.
A Hill to Prohibit Thee, Sent to the
Comm issiOncrs.

During the months of February ana
March the District Commissioners re-
ceiyed frequent communications from vari-
Gus interested parties, relative TO the ex-
;stence of slaughter houses and fertilizer
factories in the District. which are re-
garded as a menace to the public health.
A bill, also about that time, was intro
duced in Congress prohibiting the opera
zion of fertilizer factories within the
limits of the District of Columbia.
This bill and another relating TO the
management of slaughter houses were re-
ferred 10 the Commissioners for consider
alton ana report by the District Commit
tees of the House and Seuate. They, in
turn submitted the measures to the Attor
neg for the District He has now reported
to the Commissioners that the bill relat-
ing to fertilizer factories was not in
proper form and has submitted TO them
the draft OF a new bill which\seems 10
him preferable TO that sent to him for
consideration.
The bill proposed by Mr. Duvall. To
prevent the operation or carrying on OF
fertilizer factories, bone factories or
rendering factories in the District of Co
lumbia" provides that it shall not be law
full twelve months after the date OF the
passage of this act, Tor Sny person. COM
pany OF persons firm or corporation 10
operate or carry on in the District any
fertilizing factory. bone factory, or factory
for rendering dead horses or other animals
The violation OF the provisions Of the
act shall be regarded as misiemeanor
and on conviction thereof a fine of not
less than $500 shall be imposed and a
further penalty of not more than $500 is
also imposed for every week thereafter
that such factory is in operation within
the limits OF the District.
1t is further provided that all prosecu-
tions under this act shall be in the Police
Court of the District, upon informa lion
brought in the name of the District Of
Columbia and on its behalf.
One Of the last official acts of former
Commissioner Wight was to approve this
bill, and 1t is expected that the new
Board will endorse ii and transmit it 10
Congress with report favorable to its
passage.

THE PURE FOOD BILL.
RcPOr, From tic House Intcrstatc
and Foreign Commerce Committee.

RcPOrl From tic House Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee.
Representative Barham yesterday sub
mitted the report from the House Commit
tee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce
on the bill known as the Brosius Pure
Food bill and which provides for the pre-
yention of the adulteration. misbranding.
and imitation OF foods, beverages. candies.
drugs and condiments in the District of
Columbia and the Territories and regulat-
ing interstate traffic therein. Several
amendments are recommended by the COM
mittee. the most important being that
nothing in the act shall be construed to
interfere with legislation now in force, en-
acted either by Congress for the District
.f Columbia or by the Territorial Legis-
la;ures. and also the following:
Provided. That the term distinctive
names shall not be construed as applying
to any articles sold or offered for sale I'M
der name that has come into general use
to indicate the class or kind of the article
If the name be accompanied on the same
label OF band with a statement of the
place where said article has been manufac-
iured or produced"
The report says:
1T is thought that the second amend
ment is important and necessary to pro-
tect producers and manufacturers in this
country in the use of names which have
become general TO designate some articles,
where the specific or distinctive name has
become general or in general use. If the
producer or manufacturer were denied the
use OF specific or distinctive names in such
cases, great injury would necessarily re-
suit.
" 'Sardines' is rot the name OF little
fish, but the name of place, so that per-
sons who are engaged in putting up sar-
dimes in this country. if prohibited from
>using the word 'sardines.' a distinctive
name. the word could not be put upon
label or brand. So with champagne,
bordeaux 'cognac,' etc. These are names
of places and not OF wine or brandy, al
though distinctive. and if the manufa tur-
er be prohibited from their use il brand
ing and labelling. great irreparable injury
must Of necessity result. Hence the neces-
sity OF an amendment so that these names,
although distinctive, where they have be
come general. or are to designate a class
or kind OF article, may still lie used, If
the name of the place OF manufacture be
also branded or labeled upon the product.

SAMUEL JACKSON ACQUITTED.
Judge kimbnIl Surprised at the
Jury'r Verdict.

Samuel Jackson was yesterday afternoon
acquitted by jury before Judge Kimball,
in the Police Court, of charge of pro-
noting policy. The verdict surprised Judge
KmDall. who expressed himself to that eff
feet. He said that. in view of the evil
dence against the defendant, the verdict
was the most astonishing he had ever
heard in his experience on the bench. Jack
son was then ordered released
The evidence against jackson was to
the effect that he WAS a runner for a
policy company in Jackson City. Three wit
nesses testified that they had seen the ac-
cused frequently violating the policy law
in this city. and Jackson admitted that
for eight years he had been employed by
jackson City policy operators. To those
present in court the case against Jackson
appeared hopeless. and when the jury re-
turned a verdict OF not guilty. the spec
tstors, like Judge Kimball. were greatly
surprised.
