IMPORTANT PENSION RULING,
Claimants Over Certain Age Consid.
cred Disabled.

cred Disabled.
Washington, March 18-The most
notable ruling in behalf Of the Union
soldiers of the Civil war which the
pension bureau has made in a great
many years was promulgated during
the day by authority of the commits
sioner of pensions and approved by
the secretary of the interior. The rul-
ing practically accomplishes, in part,
what was sought to be accomplished
by the proposed service pension bills
now pending in congress.
The effect of the ruling is to declare
old age disability within the mean
ing of the act of June 81, 1890, and to
rate the pension according to the age
of the applicant. It directs that, be-
ginning April Is next, If there is no
contrary evidence and all other legal
requirements have been met, claim
ants for pension under the general act
of June 81, 1890, who are over sixty
two years old, shall be considered as
disabled one-half in ability to perform
manual labor and shall be entitled to
Sc month; over sixty-five years, to
So; over sixty-eight years, to $40, and
over seventy to SIP, the usual allow
ances at higher rates continuing for
disabilities other than age.

Insomnia Remedies.

However hopeless you may consider
your case, be slow to fly to drugs for
relief from insomnia. A rubber bag full
Of broken ice applied to the back Of
the neck and hot water bag at the
feet are highly recommended as a RENE
dy for insomnia even in obstinate cases.
The circulation is equalized by this
treatment
The secret of hot milk cure also rec
commended for sufferers from insomnia
lies in slipping the beverage. The act
of slowly swallowing the liquid is
soothing in it's effect and generally
produces the much desired drowsy feel,
ing which leads to the coveted sleep.

The Marine Flag,

The revenue marine service flag. au
thorized by act of congress March 2,
1899, was originally prescribed to ''con-
sist OF sixteen perpendicular stripes,
alternate red and white, the union OF
the ensign bearing the arms of the
United States in dark blue on a white
field" The sixteen stripes represented
the number of states which had been
admitted to the Union at that time,
and no change has been made since.
Prior to 1871 it bore an eagle in the
union of the pennant, which was then
substituted by thirteen blue stars in a
white field. but the eagle and the stars
are still retained in the flag

DENMARK.
COpenhagen

copenhagen
Replying to an Interpolation Feb. 26
in the lowerhouse Of the Danish parlia-
ment, the premier, Professor Deuntzer,
explained the necessity for prepara-
tons to assure the complete neutrality
of Denmark during the Russo-Japanese
war. In order to adequately secure
the sea defense of Copenhagen, he
said, reserve men had been called out,
the forts had been equipped with
searchlights and electric cables, the
submarine mine stations had been
manned. four torpedo boats had been
cleared for action, repairs to the war
ships were being FASTENED, various i'm
provements in the materials of the
navy, especially in torpedoes, were be-
ing made, and the redoubts were be-
ing built at Saltholm island, where the
requisite searchlights would be in
stalled. The cost of these preparations
would total about $4,000, besides the
pay of the men called to the colors.
In the event of it's being necessary to
call out more men and make other ex-
traordinary preparations the govern
ment would do what was necessary,
relying on the assent of parliament.
Says ST. Petersburg correspondent:
I'm the event of England becoming in
yolved in war, the Baltic will be closed
by Denmark and Sweden, under the
protection of Germany. England was
aimed at directly in the Late Russian
note concerning the independence Of
Korea. The active preparations Of
Denmark and Sweden, combined with
Che presence in Copenhagen of spe-
cial messenger from the kaiser, are
taken as substantiating this state
ment."

Growth of Property Values.
Property values on the island of
Manhattan are also showing an as
tonishing though normal tendency to
increase with every passing day. This
is true even of the most highly i'm
proved sections of the city. Take the
Wall street, or financial district, for
example. One block there is valued
at nearly $14,00O,0O0 on the city's
books of last year; and New York
taxes are levied on full property
valuations. To-day the block could
not be bought for five millions more
than the taxable value. An adjacent
block is assessed at practically the
market value of the one already re-
ferred to; it could not be purchased
for twenty-seven millions, in round
figures.

New York, Dec. 17.-Collectors Of
rare coins will be interested in a suit
that is about to be brought in this
country by a London coin dealer
against New York dealer over one
of the rare gold IS pieces that were
coined by the state Of Georgia in 1880.
For years 1t has been the belief of coll
lectors that there were only three OF
the coins in existence.
One of them sold for 1915 in New
York a few years ago. During the
present year another was bought In
London by an American collector. This
coin was shipped to New York, but
when the package reached its destina-
tion there was no coin in 1t. Complaint
was made to Collector of the Port
Stranahan.
In the meantime a Brooklyn coll
lector came into possession OF one OF
the coins. Happening to be In the
company OF the New York man whose
coin was missing, he told of its pos
session. The New York man induced
him to let him examine ii. 1t was
compared with a rubbing of the Lon
don coin and was apparently identi-
fed. The Brooklyn man at once took
the coin back to the man from whom
he had purchased It.
Collector Stranahan had an investi-
cation made and the Brookly collector
declared that 1t was his belief that
there was a fourth coin In existence.
