THE 4th MINI.
Led sherman's Army in the Grand Review
Of 1866.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1 claim
that the 4th Mimi, Col John E. TOurtel-
lotte, commanding, led and marched at the
head of Sherman's army at the Grand Re
view in 1865.
The fact that Col. TourtellOtte and his
regiment was selected for that honorable
position by Sherman, or somebody else in
authority at the suggestion of Gen. Sher-
man, is corrObOrated by another fact that
even after the close Of the war, Col. Tour
tellotte was appointed Captain in the Reg
ular Army and assigned to the 9TH y. S.
Cav, and then detailed as Aide-de-C Camp
on Gen. Sherman's staff, and served as
such for IS years, until Sherman's retire
ment.
AS there could be but one regiment to
head the parade, and after that the 10th
or 10th regiment in line was just as hon
orable as the second place, and as Ad-
enough for all Of u.s." l feel that l have
right to call attention to the matter and

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Sugges.
tiOnS Made.

W. ID. NJ, Winooski. Et.-If the death
of Il soldier of the war of the rebellion
can be shown to be due to the service. his
widow can obtain pension under the gem
eral law, regardless of amount of proper
ty and income she has. If his death can
not be satisfactorily shown to be due to
the service, then she can obtain pension
only under the act of June -. 1890, as
amended by the act of May 9, 1900, and
would he barred Hereunder if her actual
net income from sources apart from her
own labor exceeds $50 per annum. The
reasonable market value of any property
she may have is taken into consideration
and if the net income derivable from the
value represented would exceed $3.50 per
annum. she would be barred even though
the actual net annual income therefrom
were $3.50 or less. Thus. Il widow Land
poor holding lot of valuable but IN
productive real estate. could not obtain
pension under the act of 1890 as amended
ii. r., St Louis. Mo.-The ratings of
general law invalid pension for wounds
are not designedly more liberal than for
disease, even if they appear to you to be-
There are necessarily many fixed rates for
wounds, because disablement from wounds
is frequently of a specific character. as,
loss of fingers or hand, loss of toes or foot.
etc. But if such losses occur from dis
ease due to service, the same rates are al
lowed as though the loss were due to
wound.
A. G. G., Richmond, Ohio-A minor
child pensioner would not forfeit his pen
sion by reason of adoption. The pension
would continue to be paid to his legal
guardian. The adopted parents could not
draw the pension as legal parents.
l.. j., Carlisle, Ind.-If claim for in
valid pension is unjustly rejected on the
ground that there has been no pension
able degree of disability, from causes al
legged, since filing the application, it GER
fanny Is worth while to contest the re-
lection; but he should have good. strong
evidence, preferably medical. A witness
giving evidence in pension case may sup
plement and explain his former evidence if
it be held unsatisfactory.

Germany Has New Law Providing for Three
Inspections Of InpsrtSd FSOd.
DEFENDS MORE THAN EVER ON OUTSIDE
Statistics show Large Increase in All
Classes of Human ~PrOvenderT
Into Country Last Wear
from Foreign Lands.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA comprehen-
sive report In regard to the food question
In Germany and the new meat inspection
act was made public at the State depart
ment today.
The report is from Consul Kohl at Stettin
bearing date September 20 and says when
the new law goes into effect on April /,
1903, microscopists. veterinary surgeons and
chemists will be employed and many new
buildings will be necessary, in all entail
ing a preparatory expense that gives the
law a stamp of permanence.
The law provides that meat inspection
be divided into three stages; the veter-
mary surgeons inspection of all fresh
and prepared meats with the exception OF
lard microscopic inspection Of fresh AMI
prepared pork, and a chemical examination
Of all prepared meats
1t is believed, says the consul, that the
inspection will materially -retsrd the i'm
portation of meats and he submits official
statistics which reveal some interesting
facts as to iGermSsy's dependence on for
cign food products. S II is stated that the
import of foodstufis and live animals for
food purposes into Germany for 1901 had
a value of S4R1. 76s.93O. or about one-third
the value of the total Importation, and
showed an increase of 769, 900 tons over
similar importations during 1900.
1t is pointed out that this increase was
not due TO crop failures in 1900.
From the United States alone the fg-
ures show 1921 tons Of prepared meats
in. 1901 as against. 2O.229 in 1900; 1.124,-
6O2 tons of corn in 1901, as against s04,-
23l tons in 1900, and p, 906 tons OF rye in
1901, as against Ss,444 tons in 1900,
The consul closes his report by submit
ting interesting data showing a steady de-
crease in the supply of live stock and a
steady rise in the price of meats. Almost
every city Of more than 10000 inhabitants.
he says, has experienced an increase in
the price Of meats since January l and
the laboring class are beginning TO eat
