The Supreme Court has issued an
order in the pension case in which it is
decided that tho amount to be distrbut-
cd is ono hundred thousand instead OF
ono hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
The opinion will be filed later. The
Chief Justice and all the Associate Jus

the opinion of tho court is unanimous.
The amount to BIO received by each pom
sioner will be about the samo as last

the consideration Of tho frequent blum
dering on the part of the Legislature in
putting off tho most important matters
to the last moment and then rushing

OBITUARY NOTES.
Death of Mrs. Dyer, Widow of Captain
 Dyer.

Death of Mrs. Dyer, Widow of Captain
 Dyer.
 Mrs. Charles B. Dyer died yesterday morning shortly after Ii o'clock at her residence, 12O Dwight street. Since the death of her husband, which occurred several years ago, Mrs. Dyer had not been in the best of health. She had borne her sufferings with exemplary patience and Christian fortitude. The sudden death of her daughter Addie, sixteen months ago, was a blow which her already weakened constitution could not withstand.
 Lately she had not been as well, and on Monday morning had a sudden re- lapse. She rallied, however, and was conscious almost to the time of her death. She made all preparations, and the thought that she was soon to join her loved ones made her long for the end to draw near.
 The deceased was born in Atlanta, Georgia. Her maiden name was Mary Spencer. She moved to New Haven when very young and spent the greater part of her life in this city. Her hus- band was Captain Charles B. Dyer, captain of the First Connecticut cav airy during the civil war, and after the war he was a prominent master painter here for years. Mrs Dyer was promi- nent in the circles of the Woman's aux Hilary to the G. A. R., and is the first of the thirteen department commanders to pass away. She was known and highly esteemed through the state in G. A. R. circles, as was her late husband, and her death will be deeply regretted by all She leaves three children, Mrs. w. l.. Maynard of Hartford, and Charles H. Dyer and Miss Jessie Florence Dyer, both of this city.
 The funeral services will be held at her late residence on Friday afternoon at o'clock, the Rev. pr. B. S. Lines, of St. Pauls church, of which the de- ceased was a member, officiating The interment will be in the family plot in Evergreen cemetery. MT. Dyer is sur vived by one brother. who resides in Atlanta.

COMES FROM BRAIN,
Phosphates Found on the Skin an
 Thrown Out from Pores.


 We know that active brain work throws out the phosphate of potash, for this product is found on the skin after excessive brain work; therefore, brain workers, in order to keep well, must have proper food containing phosphate of potash to quickly and surely re- build the used-up tissue. That one can obtain such food has been proven in thousands of cases among users of Grape-Nuts Food.
 This contains phosphate of potash in minute particles, just as it is furnished by nature in the grains.
 This product makes from albumen the gray matter that builds the brain and fills the nerve centers.
 In no way can this gray matter be made except by the action of phosphate of potash upon albumen, and this min- eral should be introduced to the body just as 1t comes from Natures lahora- tory, and not from the drug store. The system is more or less fastidious about taking up the needed elements, and as might be suspected, it will favor the products of Mother Nature rather than the products of the drug shop, however valuable the last may be for certain uses.
 Lawyers, journalists, doctors, min isters, business men and others, who earn their living by the use of the brain, are using Grape-Nuts Food. It is manufactured for a reason and was originated by an expert. The regener- ative value of the Food has been dem- onstrated beyond question.
