tee on invalid Pensions has reported
favorably a bill granting Captain
George j. stealey, of this city, a pen
sion OF $40 month in lieu ofthe $50 q
month he has been receiving, and in a
few weeks at most the bill will have
passed the house, and Captain Stealey
in his declining years and bodily
affiiction wlllenjoy tribute from the
government commensurate to sou:e
extent with his valiant services to rs
flag and country. 1t was not without
some difficulty and delay caused by
the usual governmental red-tape
that Congressman Doverner succeeded
in this undertaking and he Is to be
congratulated for his tenacity in the
matter. Captain Stealey's host OF
friends, including the Telegram, are
