MAY BE RESTORED TO THE ROLLS.
A Soldiers Widow Who Remarries
and Again Becomes u Widow.

The House committee on pensions has re-
ported favorably a bill providing that the
widow of soldier, who remarries and
thereby loses her right to pension, may
If she again becomes a widow, be restored
to the pension rolls.
The report of the committee, drawn by
Mr.. Miers of Indiana says:
The bill proposes that the Secretary of
the Interior, in the event of a remarked
widow, if she were the wife of a Union
soldier during the rebellion, shall again be-
come widow, she shall be restored to the
pension rights she had as the widow of
said soldier at the time of her remarriage,
and directs the Secretary of the Interior
to place her name on the pension roll at the
rate she was receiving at the time of her
said remarriage. Your committee is of the
opinion this would be an act of justice
The wife of the soldier who stayed at
home, cared for the family, in many in
stances on very meager support, frequently
performing hard manual labor to keep the
family together, and bore all the anxieties
incident TO the absence of her soldier hus-
Dand, performed patriotic duty and car
rfed great burden. While her hard
ships may not have been as great as those
of her husband, she bore them longer
After the battle was over the soldier knew
the result. The wife at home endured the
anguish of suspense for days before the re-
suit was known Many of these brave ana
loyal women who lost their husbands and
were left without means thought they
would better their condition by remarrage
This bill proposes that if she again be-
comes widow she shall be restored 10 the
pensionable standing she had by reason Of
the anguish and hardship she endured and
the loss of the husband she gave fer our
country. Why not? The institution OF
marriage is honorable and entered into by
widows all over the land. If a second hus-
band relieved the government of the care
OF such widow for a time and she should
again become a widow the government
should willingly restore her to that hon
ored pension roll and pay her a small pen
sion. Who would see one Of these war
widows who had received a small pension
and lost the same by remarriagesgo to the
aimshouse or suffer for the necessaries or
life? Let us not forget that answering
to the patriotic devotion which led The
brave men to the fields of mortal conflict,
there were these brave and noble women
in their homes bereaved of the presence of
their natural protectors

GUARDS AT THE WORkHOUSE,
REPORT SHOWS THAT THEIR HOURS
OF DUTY ARE VERY LONG.
With Four Additional Men 1t Would
Be Possible to Allow Them to
Go OF Half the Time.

The report of the House District commit
tee on the resolution calling for official in
formation of the hours of labor of guards
at the workhouse for males, has been sub
mitted by Mr.. Otey. The report says:
THE men report for duty at Z O'Clock
am, and are at work all day, either in the
house or on the street, till pm. They are
on duty all night, are compelled to stay
there all night, and the relief of five men,
who stay all night, get up at am. and
are on watch constantly until $50 or 8
pm. Then they go home, and the next
morning they report for duty at a M, be-
ing off duty only ten hours, and that is near
ly all used for sleeping The five policemen
go home every night; they are on duty only
eight hours and receive $50 month and
their board; the employees at the workhouse
receive $3.50 and S165 per day. 1t is sug-
gested that four men take charge of the
prisoners at night when they are turned in,
and the men who guard them during the
day be off duty until next morning, and the
men who have charge of them at night be
off duty during the day. The police get $40
and 500 month and have a day off every
week. The fiTemen get $50 a month with
day off, and they do not have to guard
prisoners and go out in all kinds of wealth.
er, and the police are not out more than
six hours at time.
In a letter dated March 90 1900. Com
missioner Wight stated that with the
limited force employed at the asylum, no
better arrangement with regard to hours of
employment than is al present maintained
can well be made This, of course, implies
that with an increase of force better ar
