present commissioner, Warner, Of al
legged violation of order No. rs, thereby
causing an extra expense Of three
quarters of a million dollars, said: Il
do not know to what particular cases
the commissioner refers. A soldier
might have right to pension, and
thousands Of them had. but under the
aid law and under Order No. rs,
known as the old age order, and hence
1t would make no difference under
which issued.
1T is not a question Of whether,
technically, order No. rs was violated,
but whether some old soldier got q
pension or an increase to which he was
not entitled. / know nothing about
what the commissioner has found, but
in justice to the reputation of the
honest and capable men, who are his
subordinates in the bureau, he ought,
before making the charge examine and
see whether any old soldier has got a
pension rincrease who was not entitled
to it, and ought the publish the names
of such pensioners, giving the individ-
ual names and instances. | think he
owes it now to the public to print the

GEN. HTzHUGH LEE

Washington, April 2S Gen. F'itz-
hugh Lee, U. S. A., retired, and one OF
Virginia's foremost sons, died at Prov
idence hospital here Friday night from
an attack of apoplexy which he suf-
fered early Friday morning in train
while en- route from Boston to Wash
ington. After Gen. Lee had been re-
moved to the hospital it was evident to
the attending physicians that his case
was serious one, but they believed
that his strong vitality and will pow
er would assist materially in a partial
recovery at least from the attack. His
condition remained fair, considering the
severity of the attack during the day,
but shortly after p. m. he began to
grow weaker, his breathing became
more rapid and his pulse lower, termi-
mating in less than two hours in death,
The end was peaceful and without pain,
the general remaining conscious until
within five minutes of the end. Half
an hour before death Gen. Lee recog-
nized his brother Daniel Lee, who came
into the room for moment.

storm were tho following:
At Hannibal, Mo-, bridges and cul-
verts were carried away by torrents of
water, and the damage from hailstones
is reported to be heavy. A number of
barns and outbuildings were leveled by
the wind or fired by lightning at Mex

intensity visited Patoka, Ill. Peoria
reports heavy damage from a wind
which swept the city at velocity of
40 miles an hour. At Beardstown an
especially destructive wind storm pre-
vailed, overturning river craft.
Miles of fences were washed away
and many bridges were carried out by
the booming creeks and branches,
which are far out of their banks.
Hail, varying from the size of hazel
nut to one inch in diameter, fell at
many points, and fruit trees were
stripped of their buds Early vegeta-
bIes also were badly damaged by the
hail, and strawberries suffered extern

COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS.
Summary of Bradstreet's Weekly
Review of the Conditions of
Trade and Industry.

New York, April -Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Irregularity still characterizes dis
tributive trade, while industry is active
and outdoor construction is of unpre-
cedented volume. The weather has
been rather too cool for the best of
crop preparation or termination. La
Dor is well employed, and with the one
conspicuous exceptions Chicago
where the teamsters' strike affects
trade and shipments, disputes are be-
low the average. Prices of many sta
pies have been weak and unsettled, and
cereals, cotton, some kinds of pig iron,
copper and country produce have
moved lower. Railway earnings are
good, and bank clearings this week,
owing to holidays, are smaller than
last weeks, but heavily exceed a year
ago. Collections generally are rather
tardy, especially at the south. Crop
conditions, though the season is back
ward, promise well as regards the
cereals. A heavy wheat yield is in
prospect.

A sad feature or the case is that al
though Gen. Lee was blessed with a
family consisting of wife and five
children, not one of them was with
him at the time of his death. The gen.
eral was 68 years Of age.
Gen. Lee was conscious throughout
the day and recognized those who were
admitted to the sick room. Necessari-
ly these were very few persons, and
included the attending physicians, the
nurses and several relatives who came
to visit him. While not suffering any
pain, the general was rather uncom-
Portable most of the time, his breathing
being difficult, and his articulation,
when he attempted to speak, being
heavy and thick. The orders of Lieut..
George Lee, a son, who was about to
sail for the Philippines, have been
changed, and he will come to Wash
ton, and it is expected will be ac-
conpanied by his sister, the wife of
Lieut. Brown, who also is now on the
Pacific coast, and whose orders were
issued directing him to sail with his
regiment for the Philippines.
The news of Gen. Lees death was a
severe shock to his numerous friends
in Washington. This was evidenced
by the many inquiries made at the
hospital throughout the day and even
ing. Gen. Lees attack is attributed
largely to his activity in behalf of the
military and naval review which is to
be held in the vicinity of jamestown,
Va. His heart and soul have been in
the work and he labored zealously to
make it success.
Gen. Lee has been prominent figure
in Washington, and he always was
given hearty reception wherever he
went.
Prior to the civil war, at the begin
ming of which he resigned his commits
sion in the United States army, Gen.
Lee saw considerable frontier duty in
movements against the Indians. He
was an expert cavalry officer, and on
one occasion, June 16, 1860, he was en-
gagged in a hand-to-hand encounter
Colorado, Tex. His services in the
confederate army as majorgeneral
are well known, and during the inter-
val between this war and his active
work in the Spanish-American war.
Gen. Lee filled a number of important
positions, including the governorship
Of Virginia, the presidency of the
Pittsburg & Virginia railroad, the col
lectorship of internal revenue for the
Lynchburg district, and the consul
generalship at Havana. Following his
honorable discharge from the volunteer
army on March 2, 1901, Gen. Lee was
appointed to the regular army with the
rank of brigadier general, and with this
rank he was retired in the March fol-
lowing.

Advance in Learning.

It Is not alone on the city pavement
or in the shadow OF the huge sky
scrapers that the gold brick industry
fiourishes and the willy promoter takes
his commission from the credulity Of
the public. The rural inhabitant
yearning for excitement and expe-
rience doesn't have to hunt up the
genial bunco artist, but now has the
goods delivered at his own door, says
an eastern exchange. A majority of
our readers are familiar with the ma
ture and purposes of what is technical
ly known as merger" There are
many kinds Of merger. The milkman
who owns herd of COWS and pump
in good disable condition can easily
effect merger. A would-be business
man with an abundance of money and
no experience aud a practical business
man with abundant experience and no
money can form a merger. A man
with a hole in the ground, man with
plan for printing mining stock GER
tificates, man who knows how to
promote and a man who has money
in the bank may get together in mer-
ger. The merger of the lion and the
lamb is as old as history. There is
something fascinating about merger
Ito the man on the inside. There
must be at least two parties to a
merger; there may be several. Some
times both are equally benefited; as a
general thing the weaker is benefited
at the expense of the stronger. The
mixing of milk and water benefits the
water more than it does the milk.
When men who own sawdust and men
who own grain merge their holdings
in order to manufacture a breakfast
food the sawdust owners are willing to
accept a smaller allotment OF stock
than the grain owners. These state
ments may seem aimless and desul-
tory; but as ''Cap'n Bunsby' would

Growth of Population.

Sociologists in recent years have
been giving us lot of views and sta
tistics as to the restrictions which
society has placed upon the ordinary
course of nature, and we have been in
structed time and again that the chief
duty of man is to multiply and replen-
ish the earth. On the whole, observes
the Philadelphia Inquirer, that seems
to be what the race is doing, for every
census in civilized lands indicates that
the population is growing rapidly, due
not only to a general cessation of wars,
but to the fact that people take better
care of themselves and live longer. A
statement from the life insurance com
panies indicates that the average life
of the insured man is more than 40
years, which indicates that for the
whole race it must be much nearer 40
than the former standard of SO. Large
" this is due to the fact that more
babies reach maturity.

ATHLETES realize the Importance
: of keeping in good bodily trim.
The digestion must be good, the Cir
culation perfect, sleep regular and
enough of it.
If the slightest catarrhal condition Of
lungs or stomach is allowed to remain,
neither digestion nor sleep will be
strengt
Those who lead very active lives,
like athletes, with good muscular de-
VeI0pmenf, find the spring months
especially trying.
Athletes everywhere praise Peruna
because they, of all men, appreciate
the value of tonic that dispels pbysi.
cal depression.
The vocation of some men may aEs
Tow them to endure the depressing
feelings incident TO spring weather,
but the athlete must never allow hi1-
self TO get 90 under the weather.
Hemust keep in the "pink of condi-
ton" all the time.
In order to do this he must avail
himself Of a spring tonic upon which
he can rely.
Therefore athletes are especially
friendly toward Peruna.
PeruDa never fails them.

The Man of Sixty.

When a man has passed the age OF
go years, his best years of action do
as a rule lie behind him. There are, and
must be, exceptions Titan and Tin
toretto were old men when they did
some of their best work Michael An
gelo was at work on St. Peters when he
was nearly 80; Moltke and Radetsky,
Bismarck and Lord Salisbury, among
soldiers and statesmen, occur instantly;
Lord Roberts was 6S when he rode to
Pretoria, and, for that matter, the lead
ing figures on the front benches of par
lament to-day are well past the age of
chloroform. But though the powers of
action naturally diminish with the
weight of years, says the London Spec
tator, the real power of old age-the
power of criticism-must increase with
the wider horizon that each succeeding
year discloses. Up to a point, of course,
for the wisest of men know the danger
of garrulity, and are often most admir-
able when silent, possibly in contempt.
But the young man who, tolerant only
of youth, will one day be forced, logical
ly, to be intolerant of himself, may per-
haps remember, when praising the work
of others, that he believes such praise
worth giving, and that he always, as
young man, thought it worth having.
Unconsciously, while he was proclaim
ing that man over 40 was past work,
he was anxiously expectant of the praise
of men whose opinion he valued above
all the immature Judgment of his con-
temporaries. Always impulsive, often
important, sometimes extremely dan
gerous, he is always, though he may not
acknowledge it, doing one thing; he is
asking the approval, relying on the
support, of the senate. He wants to
chloroform those who restrain him, and
only perhaps realizes, when others take
up the drugged handkerchief for him,
the power and value of that restraint.
