The other said nothing. but he gazed
sadly on his empty bag and cnviously at
the birds his cOmpanon had slaughtered.
As they were about TO start for home
they met an affable stranger who asked:

In the claim of Hubert HOussey for in
valid pension under the act of June 81.
1890, the claimant was rejected on the
ground Of no pensionable disablement. An
appeal was taken to the Secretary of the
Interior, contending that a pensionable
disablement was shown to exist. The de-
csiOn asst Secretary Campbell, Nov. 80,
190I says:
There is some testimony fled in the
case, which is both lay and medical, tend
ing to show material disability on the
part OF claimant, but the same need not
be considered in detail, as it is not diff
ferent, so far as the degree of disability
is concerned, from the report of claimants s
medical examination.
The said medical examination was
made by Board of Surgeons at Chicago.

CONTEST IN COURT FOR
THE HILGER INSURANCE

One year ago at the February term
of the Henry county circuit court the
Hilger murder case was tried at
Cambridge. Argus readers no doubt
all remember that after a stubbornly
contested legal battle between States
Attorney Graves for the prosecution,
and Messrs. Charles j. Searle. of
Rock Island. and Nels Anderson, of
Galva, for the defense, the jury
brought in verdict that he defend
ant was insane at the time of the
commission of the crime and had not
vet entirely recovered. This verdict
resulted in causing the defendant to
be sent to the insane ward of the
Chester penitentiary from which she
was released about September last
by the proper authorities, having
been pronounced cured.
Mrs. Hilger during her imprison-
ment at Chester became the mother
of baby boy, whom she named Paul.
Interest in the details of the case is
being revived by the fact that at the
present term of the Henry county
court il is supposed that he legal
battle for the insurance viz; the Mod
ern Woodman policy for which the
murder was presumed to have been
committed. will take place. The
same legal talent will, it is said, be
arrayed against each other fighting
for the money, as last year when the
stake was life and liberty.
The suit is brought by f. S. Hilger,
father of the deceased, he having
been named as beneficiary in the pol
icy issued to William Hilger. vs.. the
order of Modern WOodmen of Ameri-
ca. Shortly after the death of his
son Mr.. Hilger made the necessary
death proofs and made an effort to
collect the insurance. but was met by
the attorneys of the wife of the de-
ceased. who notified the officers of
the NJ. w. \. that they intended to
make contest for the money. upon
the grounds that the assured at the
time of his death was in the act of
making his wife his beneficiary in
stead of his father and that in fact
an equitable assignment had been

the Iatnollc world.
Following the English STYLE dinner is a
fuil-dress and ceremonious affair. After
dinner comes the promenade along the
esplanade-a charming walk around the old
battery overlooking the prison. Our way
borders the sea- behind us lies the city,
with its Moorish towers, its red-tiled roofs;
back of it rises Mount Ancon; to our left is
the little Indian hamlet of La Boca, at the
mouth of the Rio Grande, and the green
hills of the Andes in the distance; along
the horizon oceanward stretches the bay.
What words can describe it?-a study IN
color as the rays of the setting sun turn to
crimson, green and gold its islands; the
stately palmetto trees that fringe its banks,
the white beach, and far away the ancient
towers of San Anastasius, sole landmark
OF the once beautiful city of Old Panama.
The story of this beautiful city Old
Panama, reads like one of the romances
from the Arabian Nights" that so delight
ed our childhood. Its houses of aromatic
wood. hung with costly tapestries, adorned
with paintings and sculptures that a king
might envy; its SEQ magnificent churches,
with their services of silver and gold
their frescoes of pearls and precious stones;
its pleasure gardens; its broad drveways
chief of which was the kings highway
over which the royal horses bore the treas
ureS to Puerto Bello, and the ships ready
to sail with them to Spain. Into the midst
of this Asiatic splendor came Morgan and
his buccaneers, and this struggle one of
first of white against white led to the de-
struction Of the flower of Spanish chivaIry
and the capture of Panama So pass the
glories of the world!

TRAINING IN PHILANTHROPY.
Now a Recognized Career Requiring
Special Education.
From the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript.
Philanthropic work in the large cities has
Low become a recognized career. AS such
1t requires on the part of candidates for
service a thorough preliminary training
through study and praxis. For the past
two years the New York Charity Organiza-
ton has provided a short training course
of this character in its summer school in
philanthropic work. The experiment has
met with such success that a longer coucse
of two years is now proposed
The tentative program Of the course ex-
plains that the purpose is Ito ground the
student in the teachings of experience and
in the principles of helpfulness in order
that he may be ready with keen sympathy
and uncrystaltzed mind to deal with every
case of need" During the first year ono
term of three months will be given to each
of the following subjects: A. ''The care
and treatment of needy families in their
homes "Child-saving, including the care
of destitute. neglected and delinquent chill
dren; c. Medical charities: the institu-
uonal care Of adults and neighborhood I'M
provements, such as tenement reform and
social settlement work: immigration: legIs-
latlon as means of improving the condi-
tion or the poor; means of educating pub
nc sentiment upon problems in philan-
thropic work"
Throughout the year the work will be
practical rather than theoretical, keeping
in close touch with families needing assist
ance. Students will be assigned to work in
the district offices of the Charity Organiza-
tion Society and other organizations Resi-
dence for at least three months of the year
in one of the social settlements is recon-
mended. The second year of the course
will be devoted to special study Of sone
branch of philanthropic work preparat ory
to entering 1t as life work. The following
are suggested: Relief work, charity or
ganization, child-saving. institution work
settlement work, church work the we'll
hl nf r.fn ,lo,-
lty, as Italians Russians. &c; care for the
feeble-minded and insane care for pris-
oners Other requirements are: Residence
for purposes Of study and practical expert
ence IN two cities during portion of the
year, and the preparation of a thesis for
publication.
