Cannot Get Ills Pension.

who has caused the county au-
thorities much veXatiob, and
whose claims for pension havc
long puzzled the government ui-
ficials.
The man is a veteran OF the
Union Army, and during the war
received several Wounds, one Of
which-on thehead-itis thought,
has affected his mind. He went
about twelve years ago, from
Franklin county, Pa, and with
lumber he gathered while roam
ing about the country he built a
shanty which he calls his home.
In this rudely constructed struc-
ture he lives a semi barbarous
life, feeding on wild roots and
roaming about the mountains like
a wild man. Sometimes he APP
pears harmless, but at times he
suddenly becomes wildaud fright
ems the residents of the com
munity, who have frequently
complained to the county officials
about him. For this strange
man the government has 5000 as
a pension, but refuses to give it to
him on account of his demented
condition Some of the citizens
of the county are now endeavor-
ing to have Judge Faulkner of
Martinsburg, appoint commit
tee to receive the money and take
care of him with it, but the Judge
has so far not seen his way clear
to grant the request. Being of
age, he can't have a guardian,
and there is no law providing for
the appointment of a committee
to take care of a man. The gov
ernment is willing to pay the
money if a committee is appoint
ed to receive it.
The demented mans name is
Anthony Bradenhal, or Hull, as
he was known about Milestone
Point, where he lived awhile.

POSING FOR EFFECT.
Diss De Barr and Her Husband in
the Dock.

LONDON. Oct. 16.-When the hear
ing of the charges against Theodore
and Laura Jackson (Ann Odelia, Diss
DeBarr) was resumed in the police
court today the woman entered the
dock dressed in spotless white. She
placed her hands together before her
face and closed her eyes in the atti-
tude of prayer. The crowded courtroom
was silent. The hearing was devoted
to testimony of the behavior of the
male defendant toward young wom-
an who was one of the victims of the
pair. The alleged receptions were
seemingly accompanied by hypnotic
influence AS the prisoners left the
dock they were Kissed by the specta-
tors. Jackson cried Keep quiet, you
reptiles" The testimony was of such
a character that the London papers
which usually print verbatim reports
of sensational criminal trials. say that

During the afternoon there was a com

by Capt. M'Adory, of the Sixth Infantry

The day was passed without any actual
call upon the hospital corps, which was
in attendance. Major Cooper, surgeon
of the regiment, divided the corps so that
one-half of it with Capt. Garvin
could attend the second battalion

division of sentiment in regard to the

er the question in any form was strongly
supported, but this, 1t was argued, would

NO LETTER HEADS.

When you get letter from a man
who uses a simple, clean letter head,
containing nothing but his name,
business and address, set up without
any effort toward display, You are
impressed with the fact that your cor
respondent is solid, dignlfied, reli-
able business man. But when you get
letter written under spread eagle,
sprawl letter head, full of curlicues
and other nonsence, the impression
you receive is far from favorable. -

Joke Played In 1866.
The Rev. w. III. Dyer. an Episcopal
Clergyman of Los Angeles, has solved
tl{e mystery of the Calaveras skull
claims o special correspondent of the
New York Post. This was the imper-
dect human skull found in a deposit of
gravel in a gold mine in Calaveras
county. Cal, in 1866 and which was
accepted by biologists as genuine
discovery and as establishing the great
antiquity of man.
But it was all joke, the Rev. Mr..
Dyer says. In the seventies he was a
missionary at Angels Camp, near which
the skull was found. During that time
r. G. Scribner. who kept store at
Angels Camp, confdentially confessed
to him that he himself conceived and
carried out the joke He took an old
Indian skull, went TO the bottom of the
shaft while the workmen were away
and buried it in the auriferous gravel.
There it was soon found. and the pa
pers. magazines and scientific books
were in q short time filed with the
speculations of writer's as TO the antiq-
uity of man as indicated by the discov
cry.
