its length so that the army pontoon train

he has greater disability at these respective
ages than is recited above, it is of no use
for him to describe his ailments. 1t is
disadvantage, in fact, because it will incur
the expense and delay of medical examina-

THE LAW OF JUNE 27. 1890. AND THE NEW
"AGE'' ORDER.
The laws of June q, 1900, and May 8,
1900. provide for a pension, according to
degree of disability, from So 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 62, or 65, or 6S, or 20, is presumed with
out further proof (and, inferentially, with
out examination) to be suffering disability
sufficient to warrant S. month pension
at age of CO; S. month at age of 65; $40
a month at age of 6S and $12 month at
age of 20.
To Those Who Have Never APP
piled for Pension.
The estimate is that there are 1000
soldiers of the War of the Rebellion who
have never applied for pension, and that
the majority of them are over 81 years of
age. We urge upon these comrades that
it is their duty to apply. If many are so
well-to-do that they do not need it, they
can apply the money to help those who

that, in most cases, does not involve ex-
animation, which probably removes fen

commendabe work. 1t will assist in getting in shape
the proofs and information required The first step
for every comrade is to the few simple ques-
tons that printed below under the heading Pre-
limnary Report" This report will disclose the case
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 at least other married
rade to this matter and influence the other comrade
to do likewise. No other missionary work among
comrades can be productive of more good. Many
comrades who not subscribers to The National
Tribune will not learn of this important service if
subscribers do not call their attention to it. Extra
papers will be sent for distribution upon request.
Comrades who attend to this matter promptly will
be taking the best possible step toward securing for
their widows the higher rate of pension: that Is, Sra

A Second Reminder
to Married Soldiers.

T does not follow. matter of course, if man
was soldier even if he is pensoner, that it
will be easy matter for his widow to get
pension. AS matter of fact, widows claims
unnecessarily delayed, and in some 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 was deficient in one essential par
tcular: no 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 a fire proof
room, in its own building and under lock and key to
insure privacy, it will for such papers and infor
