a REVOLUTIONARY PENsIoNER.

The death not long since of HirEm
Cronk, the sole surviving pensioner of
the war of 1912, has led to the dis
covery of the fact that Revolutionary
widow is still carried on the pension
rolls. She is Mrs. Esther Damon of
Vermont Mrs Damon is hale and
hearty at the age of 90 and bids fair
to round out her century of life. Her
husband, Noah Damon, was born in
1853 and served in the patriot army
from HIS to 1T79. He married Esther
Sumner, the surviving widow, in 1899.
when he was so and she was 25 years
of age.
Since 1910 Mrs. Damon has been
drawing her pension. The services per-
formed by her husband, and for which
she has been drawing a reward for
siXty-flve years, were performed thirty
one years before she was born The
treaty of peace with Great Britain was
signed nearly fifty-six years before she
was married. Fifty-eight years had
elapsed since the surrender at York
town and sixty years since her hus-
band laid down his arms.
OF course, we don't begrudge the old
lady her pension. Many pensions are
being drawn with far less shadow OF
right than she has. But it does seem
that the government has dealt very
generously with Noah Damon's reIict.

THE NEW ORLEANS SITUATION.

The death Of Archbishop Chappelle
from yellow fever and the large mum
Der of new cases reported in New or
leans have not, according TO the dis
patches, led the health oficersewho are
lighting the epidemic to become dis
cOuraged- Yet there is some reason
for discourag cement in the situation.
Up to Wednesday afternoon at o'clock
there had been 67s cases and 119 deaths.
The mortality percentage is, therefore.
about seventeen and one-half That is.
one person in every six cases has died.
Or perhaps a better way to put it
would be TO say that five patients out
Df six get well.
In some diseases this would be con-
sidered a very high mortality rate. In
yellow fever it is not high. The record
OF former epidemics shows mortality in
some instances as high as so per cent.
There is no longer any doubt that the
people of New Orleans are thoroughly
awake TO the gravity of the situation.
This could have had 10 better evidence
than is found in the raising of a fund
OF s250O0O to be placed at the disposal
OF the health officers. If this sum is
properly expended it should be possible
10 check the epidemic before frost
comes.
New Orleans is paying dearly for her
carelessness. The board of health dur
ing the last two or three years issued
warning after warning to the public.
Many efforts were made to secure the
passage of ordinances that would have
made it possible to enforce the screen
ing and Oiling of cisterns and other
precautionary methods of coping with
the fever. The council with a singular
lack of foresight, refused to enact the
desired laws. 1t was argued that an
other epidemic of yellow fever would
be impossible. in view of its extermina-
ton in Havana and the effective fight
made against it at South American
points.
There was no necessity. the council
men said, for spending the public money
L. protect the public health. The doc
tor didn't know what they were talk
ing about. But events have demon
strated that the doctors did know. that
the ordinances they recommended
should have been passed that the Ital-
fans should have been forced to live
cleaner lives. SO the fund or $3.50 900,
by way of locking the stable door af-
ter the theft of the quadruped. has
been raised. And this Sum OF money
Will be only small proportion OF the
cost Of the epidemic to New Orleans.
Leave out OF the. question all thought
OF the bereavements. the anxiety, the
heartbreak. Figure the cost Of the cpl
demic in dollars and cents. 1t viii be
found that in lost business. in the
frightening away Of prospective resi-
dents, in the abandonment of enter
prises that would have meant much to
tie city. the cost to New Orleans will
undoubtedly run into millions. And all
because the ounce Of prevention was
neglected.
