ALL WANT PENSIONS.
Many Ex-Confederates Wrongly In
terpret Recent Act Of Congress.
COMMISSIONER EXPLAINS The ACT.
II Was Designed to Rsmove the Disability
OF Mon Impressed Into Southern Army
and who LATER Joined the Union
Army ristOw to He Retired,

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE com
missioner of pensions yesterday
gave out the statement that an err
roneous impression seems to exist
among many ex-confederate soldiers
regarding the Interpretation to be
put upon the recent act OF congress
relieving union soldiers of the dis
abilities for having previously served
in the confederate army. The idea
seems to prevail that under this act
the government Is authorized to pen
sion ex-confederate soldiers and the
result is that the pension office is be-
ing deluged with applications from
the former wearers Of the gray The
commissioner explained that the law
In question does not contemplate the
pensioning Of ex-confederate soldiers,
but that it was designed solely to re-
move the disability which so long
existed in the case Of men who we're
IMPRESSED into the confederate serv-
Ice and later Joined the union army.

Reesng the Edatnr-

An interesting story is related By
Colonel Dennison in the volume "SoI
diering In Canada" concerning the late
Sir Henry I4avclock- Allan, who was O
famous fighter. The colonel says: MY
wife and | were in Hyde park one day
when Sir Henry came over and asked
how she liked his horse. She said very
much, and | gave my opinion that ii
was about the finest horse | had seen
on the row that day. He then told Us
an anecdote about the horse. He said
he had ridden into Darlington, which
was close to his country seat, and he
sent a boy up to the editor Of the news,
paper asking him to come down to the
street to speak to him for few min
utes, as he could not leave his horse
The editor was too busy to come down,
and Sir Henry went to him. He rode
up two flights of stairs into the editors
room, spoke to him from the horses
back, rode round his table and back
again and then made his way out into
the street. He said the horse tumbled
things about a good bit, and the editor
danced out of his way. But added
Sir Henry, now the editor comes down
70 me If | so TO see him mounted"

His Two Flags.

Any narrow minded native OF this
country who may flatter himself that
good Americans. like poets. are born
and not made. will be speedily cured of
this illusion by reading THE Making
of an American" by Mr. Jacob Riis--
that Danish-born fellow countryman of
ours whom President Roosevelt, when,
as governor. he wrote him a passport,
officially declared To be ION the whole
the most valuable citizen in New York.
Mr. Riis loves the Danish flag, al
though never but once, he admits, has
he had the opportunity to show his
affection by deeds. That was when,
in typhus epidemic" he says, IL
found the health officers using it as
fever flag to warn boats away from the
emergency hospital pier. They had no
idea what flag it was; they just hap
pened to have 1t on hand; but they
found out quickly. ! gave them half
an hour in which to find another. The
hospital was full of very sick patients,
or | would have made them fire
safite to Old Dannebrog by way of
reparation. As it was, ! think they
had visions OF ironclads in the East
riv.rl They had one of a very angry
reporter, anyhow" That was well
dops; nevertheless. the defender of the
flag of Denmark owes the deepest allie
glance of his heart to another banner,
and he tells us how he came to recog-
nize that he does so. Visiting his old
