With infinite satisfaction your commit
tee reports to this Encampment the final
determination of question affecting
what are popularity styled the Minor
Cases in the Pension Bureau. Several
years ago the then Commissioner ruled
that minor children of deceased soldiers
or sailors must have filed their applica-
ton before July /, 1880, and before they
attained the age of 16 years. The Com
missioner sought to apply to such claims
the limitation fixed by the arrears of
pension" act of March 3, 1879. This was
a radical departure from the practice
which had obtained in the Bureau. May
70, 1900, Departmental Order was is
sued by the Secretary of the Interior sus-
pending the adjudication of this class OF
claims, and it met with a storm of pro-
tests from all sections of the country. The
Pension Committee of the Grand Army
at once took up the matter, comforting
with the Commissioner Of Pensions and
the Honorable Secretary Of the Interior.
An investigation disclosed that by a
course of reasoning which seemed as illogi-
cal in fact as it was specious in charac-
ter, the conclusion had been arrived at, In
effect. that a '.gratuity" from the Gov.
eminent must be claimed within the limit
Of time prescribed by the law in creating
pensionable status-before the claim
ant arrived at the age Of 16 years. This
was of a piece with the tortuous and sim
nous course Travelled in abrogating the
principle laid down in order No. 1854 in
adtudicating cases under the Act of 1890.
and making possible Order No. 225, and
the consequent multiplying Of the law which
clearly commanded the aggregating .. all

Death of J. Madison Bell.
With the death of J. Madison Bell,
a talented Afro-American and a faml-
liar figure of ante-bellum days, passes
away. Mr. Bell was a man of acknoWl-
edged ability, and his poetry, of which
he wrote much, attracted universal at
tention. His verses dealt principally
with the slavery question, and doubt
less in this way contributed his share
in bringing this relic of barbarlsm
properly before the American people,.
Like Douglass, whose contemporary
he was. he lived to see the institution
of slavery destroyed, the former mas
tiers Inundated and the black man in
vested by law with full American cltl-
zenship. After the close of the rebel
lion, Mr.. Bell continued to use his pen
in the defense and aid of the freedmen.
For many years he lived. at Toledo,
Ohio, and was known as the Poet OF
the Maumee. At the time OF his death
he was visiting his son, J. M. Bell, OF
this city. He was. rs years OF age.
The funeral of Mr.. Bell took place Sun
day at 2 p. m. from the Institutional
Church. Bishop Arnett, of the A. M.
E. Church. preached the funeral SER
mon and spoke with feeling OF Mr..
Bells great services to his race and
his real worth as man.
One by one the old anti-slavery he
roes, white and black, are. passing
away. Their life's work done, they lie
down to that "dreamless Sleep" the
last of the earth, with the conscious
ness that they have done their whole
duty to their fellow man. Who are
taking their places? Who, with the
same genius and honesty of purpose,
is taking up the work where they left
off? The unfinished task is not so
great nor attended by so many dan.
gers. But there IS much yet to be done

sCriptions from bis friends TO soothe the
last days OF the dying Wife 20 secure
her decent burial ana 90 rescue Poe
from the pecuniary difficulties in which
the long sickness VI his wife had plung-
cd him.
To Mrs. Shew. also, the widowed Poe
owed the suggestion for THE Bells II
is a strange fact that she had never
found time TO read any Of the writings
OF the poet for whom she felt so deep a
sympathy and affection.
one day Poe called on her and said,
Marie Louise, ] have 90 write poem.
] have no feeling no sentiment no In
spiration."
His hostess persuaded him 20 have
some tea, which she served IN the con-
servatory. Through the open windows
came the sound OF church bells. Mrs,
Shew said payfully Here is paper
But the poet. declining &C.. declared:
Il so dislike the sound or bells tonight
| cannot write. l am exhausted
The lady then took up the pen, and
pretending 20 initiate his handwriting,
wrote THE Bells by r. A. Poe Then
in pure sportiyeness she added this
line;
THE bells the little silver bells"
Poe took the hint and expanded the
line into a stanza OF six lines. Then
Mrs. shew suggested FOR the next stan
"a:
The heavy iron bells"
This Poe expended into II additional
lines. He next copied OUT the poem
and headed Il by Mrs. NJ. l. Shew. 're-
marking that Il was her poem. as she
had suggested and composed so much
OF it.
Such was the germ OF this remarka-
bic poem which melodiously mimics In
