ed-Under the New law all Applf-
cants Must Reappear Before the

Mr.. Owen Fennell, chairman of the
county board of pensions, received yes

Auditor B. F. Dickson:
Raleigh, n. c., May 13, 1901.
Gentlemen:-I send you today, under
separate cover, the blank pension ap-
plications prepared under the law of
1901. You will observe that the PEN
sioners now on the list will all have to
appear either in person or, If unable to
do SO, by certificate of physician, be-
fore your board for re-examination and
approval, together with all new appli-
cants for pensions. This was consider
ed very essential TO a proper grading
of pensioners, as we'll as to enable the
board to drop from the list the names
of those who do not now meet the re-
quirements of the law. I urge upon
your board the necessity Of careful
scrutiny of each case, to the end that
no unworthy man be placed on the roll.
This department has decided, upon
the advice of the attorney general, that
all widows of confederate soldiers now
on the pension roll who were married
to said soldiers after the 1st of April
1865, will have to be dropped from the
roll.
1 hope you will give full notice
through your county papers, and in
every other way possible, to all con-
federate pensioners, and all applicants
for pensions, to appear before your
county board of pensioners at the ear
liest practicable moment, as the limit
for the applicants is the first Monday
in July, in order that your list may be
completed in time to be forwarded TO
this office by the middle OF August.
I regret exceedingly not being able to
get the blank applications to you ear
lier; but they have been in the hand of
the public printer for quite awhile, and
we are forwarding them to you at the
earliest possible moment.
Very respectfully,
B. F. DICKSON.
Auditor.

Commander William Swift of the u. S.
s. Concord, now in this harbor, was re-
lieved by Commander Harry Knox, late
Of the L. S. S. Princeton, on Wednesday
morning. Commander Swift will proceed
to the Philippines in a few days to take
the command of the Princeton, which is
now at Cebu. The Concord will probably
not leave Yokohama until the latter part
of next week. 1t is now waiting instruc-
lions from Washington. When the gun
boat gets away it is understood that its
destination VIII be Unalaska, in the
Aleutian Islands, from which point Sitka
will be touched, the final port being some
one on the Pacific Coast of the United
States.

Last Two Perfo, mances of the Ellie.
ford Company.

The last bill of the Elleford roper
toire will be presented at the Orpheum
tonight and tomorrow evening. Lost
in New York is the title of the melo-
drama selected for the farewell per-
formances, and by it's production the
Ellefords will endeavor to leave de-
sire for their return with Honolulu
play-goers.
The play is of the regular melodra-
matte school, with clearly cut cnarac-
tiers that give ample opportunity to all
the members of the company. Special
ties galore will be introduced, and
there is plenty of comedy to help out
the tenser situations of the play.
The Elleford season has been a very
successful one, and the houses on both
nights will probably be crowded with
those anxious to take advantage of
the final opportunity to see the fare
well performances of this well bal
anced and clever little organization.
Jessie Norton has pleasant surprise
in store for her admirers in the shape
of new speciality, dressed in the Ha-
waiian language. The clever little lady
is particularly happy in her dialect
work, and the song should captivate
the native portion of the audience.

Sextette of Weli-known Racers
to Be Disposed of
Today.

At noon today, at the Club Stables.
sale of six racehorses takes place,
which is attracting the attention OF
sporting Honolulu. The horses to be
auctioned are:
Tom Ryder. 2;1S1a, brown gelding.
aged, by Alex Button.
Socialist, bay horse, six years old, by
ST. Carlo-Anarchist.
General Cronje, bay gelding, aged,
by Imp. Martenhurst- Songstress.
Billy McCloskey, chestnut horse,

Molly Connors, chestnut filly, three
years old, by Imp Friar Tuck Clara l..
Merrils Fause, bay gelding, five
years old, by Imp. Watercress-G Geneva

All the above horses are the proper
ty of G.. S. Mckenzie of Hilo.
Tom Ryder's record at the Coast is
we'll known. He is as game a horse
as ever looked through a bride, and
is just now in grand shape.
Socialist recently ran a mile on a
San Francisco track in 1894, winning
the race by ten lengths, pulled up. He
could have run in 1873 that day had 1t
been necessary. Socialist would have
started at this meeting, but he arrived
in the Islands so late that his owner
would not run the risk of starting
him.
General Cronje is half brother to
kinley Mack, winner of last year 5
Brooklyn handicap. He Is a wonder
fully improved horse, and great things
are expected of him. He defeated Ag-
gravation last week at a mile.
Billy McCloskey, the gallant old hero
of many hard-fought battles, won
many races at the old Bay District
track. He is now as we'll as ever In
his life. and should be keenly bid for
Molly Connors. stylishly bred, is half
sister to The Peer, Obsidian and Ar
tilleryman. all of which realized big
figures. She is sprinter of more than
average excellence, and can beat any
thing in the Islands up to half a mile.
Merrills Faust is one of the most
promising gallopers down here, pos
sessing speed and beautiful way of
going. He is now thoroughly accli-
mated, and will assuredly pay his way
when given thorough preparation
