from Wisconsin: Your plan for filing in
formation that may some time be of great
value in securing pensions for widows has
the qualities of wisdom, thoughtfulness
and generosity. The fact that your pen
sion agency will earn fee in some cases
sometime does not detract from the kind
ness of your proposal. In very many
eases there will be no fee earned, and
those that are earned will not be more
than would be paid to any other agency.
A move like this is all the better and wiser
if it has, like this one, legitimate financial
The National tribune., 1904-07-28

IT does not follow matter of course, if
a soldier, even if he is pensioner, that it
will be easy matter for his widow to get
pension. AS matter of fact widows claims
unnecessarily delayed, and in some cases never
allowed for lack of evidence, which the husband,
usually, could have supplied during his lifetime.
This important matter has been discussed, from
time to time in the columns of The National Tribune
and has been made the subject of orders by Com
manders-in-C Chief Of the Grand Army, but every
appeal heretofore deficient in one essential par
ticular: safe and permanent place was suggested
for the custody of the information.
The National Tribune Co., in practical way,
proposes to supply this deficiency. In fire proof
room, in its own building, and under lock and key to
insure privacy it will care for such papers and info
nation until such time they may be needed, even if
such time is many years distant. The National Tribune
Co. is Incorporated. Having perpetual existence,
the death of the present managers of the Company
will not disturb the business change the custody
of the papers. No safer place in the world can be
found for the purpose.

TO THOSE WISHING TO ALLEGE MORE DIS.
ABILITY THAN is PRESCRIBED BY THE
AGE ORDER.
Under the Age Order it is assumed, if
the contrary does not appear, and all other
legal requirements are properly met
that claimant is half disabled for manual
labor at the age of 62; two-thirds disabled
at the age of to five-sixths disabled at the
age of 6S, and wholly disabled at the ass
of 20. If the claimant can not show thaa
he has greater disability at these respective
ages than is recited above, it is of no usa
for him to describe his ailments. 1t is q
disadvantage, in fact, because it will iscun
the expense and delay of medical exanfina1
tion.. If claimant is in fair health fo1
his age, it is useless to apply for more than
is allowed by the age" order.
Any one, however, who is sure that hS
is more disabled than is allowed for by the

3S. The authority for this statement of
the Confederate force, is letter written
by Gen. Early from Havana, and pub
lished in December. 1866. In this letter
that officer says: AT the battle of Win
chester. or Opequan. as it is called by
Gen. Grant, my effective strength was
about $500 muskets, three battalions of
artillery. and less than 5000 cavalry"
The Confederate cavalry aof the Valley,
consisting of two divisions under Fitz Hugh
Lee and Lomax, was at this time in
miserable condition, materially and moral
.ly. "Our horses,' says letter from a Con
federate officer of this force. had been
fed On nothing but hay for some time, and
were quite weak; and want of discipline
had greatly demoralized the men."

But The National Tribune will 60 further in this
commendabe work. 1t will assist in getting in shape
the proofs and information required. The first step
for every comrade is to answer the few simple ques-
tons that are printed below under the heading Pre-
lminary Report" This report will disclose the
and enable The National Tribune to complete all the
proof required.
There will be no charge whatever for this service,
but it will be expected of every comrade that he
will call the attention of other married comrades
to this matter and influence them to do likewise. No
other missionary work among comrades can be pro-
ductive of more good. Many comrades who are not
subscribers to The National Tribune will not learn
of this important service if subscribers do not call
their attention to it. Extra blanks will be sent for
distribution upon request.
All comrades are requested to make the Prelmi-
nary Report including those who have married since
June II, 1890.
Comrades who attend to this matter promptly will
be taking the best possible step toward securing for
their widows the higher rate Of pension.

THE LAW OF JUNE q. 1890. AND TIE NEW
AGE" ORDER.
The laws of June q, 1890, and May 8,
1900. provide for a pension, according to
degree of disability, from sc to $12 per
month for any soldier of the War of the
Rebellion who served 90 days and was hon
orably discharged.
The new AGE" Order simply says that
any claimant who has arrived at the age
of G2, or 65, or 6S, or 20, is presumed with
out further proof (and, inferentially. with
out examination) to be suffering disability
sufficient to warrant Sc a month pension
at age of e2; So month at age of 65; $40
month at age of 6S and SIP month at
age of 70.

Practically all ST. Louis will be a

The hotels have greatly multiplied in
number and thousands of private
homes are open for the accommodate
ton of guests. The rates at the hotels
are generally on the European plan
as it will be more convenient for
guests to get heir meals wherever
meal-time may find them. Prices for
rooms in private houses range from
so cents to $3.50 per day per person.
The prevailing rate is $1.00 per person
and in nearly every case good accom-
modations with all conveniences and
in good localities may be had for this
price. The higher rate presupposes
larger rooms and more luxurious quar-
tiers. But no Il need pay more than
$1.00.
The hotel prices have a wide range.
