NEWSiT0 HER.
Mrs. Richardson Surprised When Told That
shs Was Her Deceased husbands Second
wife-But It Was u Mistake.

MIS- fhchnrdson surprised Nheu Told That
shs Was Her Deceased Husbands Second
wife-But It Was n Mistake.
Sarah M. Richardson's, colored, Of
No. 2l3 West Eighth street, has been
granted pension of IS per month,
dating from July 9th, 1897, on account
of the death of her husband, Benjamin
Richardson, who was member Of Go.
F, Seventh United States Colored In
fantry, during the Civil War. She re-
ceIres about S240 in back pay.
Richardson died in July, 1897, and
shortly afterward his wife made appli
cation for pension, through John
Wainwright of this city. The evidences
was gotten together in a remarkably
short space Of time and the prospects
were bright for the pension being
granted, but special examiner who
had been placed on the case threw cold
water on the matter and surprised the
widow by telling her that he had found
from the court records Of Kent county.
Md, where her late husband was a
widower when she married him. She
believed he had never teen married
when he married her and so stated in
her affidavit.
She thought there must be some mis-
take about the second marriage bust
ness, for If there was not she would not
have received pension. So another IN
vestigation was begun, and it was found
that the court records referred to some-
body else. This cleared the matter and
the pension was granted.

THOSE FIHsr LONG PANTS OF NINE.
Josh Wink.

James whitcomb Riley is apologized to,
As one who pores at evening through an
album, all alone,
And fingers DER the faces of the friends
that he has known,
So turn the leaves of fancy, till in wonder
full design
hit upon the outlines of those first long
pants of mine.
They we're made from fathers old ones, and
were roomy as to girth;
Yet to me they were the handsomest that
e'er appeared on earth.
The legs were prone to tangling as around
my limbs they'd twine-
They were poor in architecture, were those
first long pants OF mine.
They rolled up at the bottoms, and they
sagged some at the knees;
The wasrband had to be tucked in to wear
with any ease.
'Twould have puzzled surveyor to have
found good straight line
Among the curves and wrinkles of those
first long pants of mine.
And, yes-the first suspenders They were
fathers, too, i think;
But the combination filled my cup of joy
up to the brink,
And there never was boy on earth who
could feel half so fine
As l did when lost myself in those long
pants of mine.
Folks used to say they couldn't tell,
because of the great slack"
If l was starting off to school or was just
coming back,
And if I'd cut some armholes at or near the
pocket line
l might maze coat and vest. too. of those
first long pants of mine.
oh, there are lots of things in life on which
we like to think.
Many thoughts that give us pleasure when
from mem'ry's cup we drink,
But when all things are gloomy and Pm
tempted to repine
l think about the glories of those first long
pants of mine. ,.-..-

Capsron Charged with Negligence.
The quartermaster department has
notified John Swan, engineer of the
steam yacht Caperon, to appear and
make his defence to the charge of
negligence ir the accident on January
18th last, when 10 persons were in
jured by an explosion on the yacht.
Swan was the engineer of the vessel,
which ran between Delaware City and
Fort Delaware on government bust
ness, He and CAPT. George A. Cleay err
comprised the crew Of the boat and
both were injured by the explosion,
which was said to have been that of a

so badly injured by the scalding steam
