FIRST CLOSING OF A PENSION
LIST.

For the first time Ia her history the
many pension accounts; that is Ct
widows of veterans of the Revolution
airy war. The last Revolutionary oldiers
widow drawing a pension died i'll Vir-
mont a few days ago, aged 80 years.
She was the widow of Noah Damon
who was rs years old when she, at the
age of % years, married him.
Soon after the Revolutionary wa-
closed young women went into the
marriage speculation, marrying old
pensioners so they could secure q
life pension after the death OF
their husbands, and many young
women all over the land have carried
on this species of marriage speculation
after every war our country has had.
The pension Office records showed last
tune that tSere were stin living $50
pensioned widows OF soldiers or the
war of 1872; of the Indian wars 3,S65
widows, while there were only 2,173
surviving soldiers of those wars; Of the
wal with Mexico. 7.4SS widows. with
only 1884 pensboned soldiers. The num-
Der Of pensioned widows there are Of
federal soldiers in the war between the
states would be too nuferous to men
tion-
While the pension bureau has closed
the pension list of widows of Revolu-
tionary war soldiers, it has not closed
that of the daughters. There are three
living who are drawing pensions by
special act of congress. AS the young
est of these is IS years old, it is most
qikely that there will soon be the sec
ond closing of a pension list by our
government.
Judging by the length Of time it takes
to close the widows pension lists Of
our earlier wars it is probable that the
one for the war between the states
will not be closed until toward the
end Of the present century.

SENATOR BAILEY.

Senator Bailey was in Washington
last week, and in an interview by a
Baltimore Sun representative said he
was not at all concerned about the fight
being made in his state against his Re-
election by the legislature which meets
in January. He said his opponents
will not be able to control more than
nine Of the one hundred and fifty-nine
votes on joint ballot, and he doubted
if they could control that many.
IL the senator is correct in his es-
innate we don't see why they do not
make his election unanimous.
The Sun representative remarked
in closing the account of his interview
that Senator Bailey was regarded by
many democrats as one of the ablest
men who had occupied a seat in that
body in fifty years and that whatever
the opinion held in some circles As 20
the likelihood of the Texas fight weak
ening him in the senate it would be
difficult to make senators believe that
he will lose any Of his strength in the
body. The reporter might have added
that it had not weakened him with the
masses Of the democratic party all
owe the south, We believe Senator
Bailey is stronger today with the whole
party, north and south, than he ever
has been, and before the end OF the
sixtieth. congress he viii be still
stronger.

DEATH OF COL. ". J. SAUNDERS

Inc many friends throughout the
sIa'e o1 lionel William Johnson Saun-
oers will be grieved to hear of his
ot-ath, which occurred at his home in
Raleigh on Friday. The following ex-
tract from a sketch Of his life, pub
lished in yesterdays News and OBJ
server, will be Of interest to Whining
tonians and to the surviving defend
ers Of Fort Fisher:
AS an officer in the confederate
army Colonel Saunders bore an honor
able part. He was an "original seces-
sfonist" and entered the Ellis Light
Artillery as lieutenant, in April, 1851
(before the state secededl and was
duly commissioned by Governor Ellis
on May 16, 1851, foul days before the
Of secession was passed.
The Ellis Light Artillery became Com
pany A, In the Tenth regiment, and af-
forwards won fame as Manly's battery.
In 1862, Lieutenant Saunders vas
transferred from Manly's battery, and
placed on staff duty with the rank Of
major. later becoming chief of artillery
at Fort Fisher, being there stationed
during the world-famous siege of that
stronghold in ~1S64-'65. Ia a report
on December 81, 1864, General Whit
ing said: 1.-The gallant bearing and ac-
tive dabors Of Major Saunders, chief
or artillery to General Hebert, in very
exposed positions, attracted my espe-
cial attention." Colonel William
Lamb, on December 81, 1854, reported:
Il am 1ndepted to Major W. J. Saun-
ders, Of General Hebert's staff. for
most valuable assistance in his depart
ment during the engagement" When
Fort Fisher fell, Major Saunders was
not captured, being absent with official
dispatches, n he continued a faithful
soldier Of the ~Confederacy till the close
of the war.

MORE DISCOVERIES ABOUT COT.
TON.

Scientists and experts are still. ex-
p~erimenting with the cotton plant in
the endeayor to increase its value by
introducing new economic processes
and TO discover means of producing ad-
dit1onal by-products. The latest in this
field is DR.. Robert r. Roberts, of Wash
ington, who has been experimenting
along certain lines for five years.
He now declares, according to The
Scientific American, that he has made
two important discoveries, M Of which
win cheaper the cultivation and de-
stroy the boil weevil, and the other will
greatly add TO the value of the crop
by utilizing the stalk for making paper.
The Virginian-Pilot says of DIR. Rob-
ert's claims:
He claims to have discovered a pro-
cess by which cottonseed a be de-
Tinted in five minutes, without ~injurine
n terminating qualities of the seed
or affecting their value for the manu-
facture Of Oil. By this process DIR.
Roberts says there will be a saving of
~ kNA NS4l. VI SCcO WASTE III pld0C1nR,
as 1t will eliminate all defective seed
and enable the planter to use the seed
drill in planting, obviating, in a mea-
sure, the expense of chopping out the
surplus cotton stalks. DR.. Roberts
further claims that his delinting pro-
cess will effectively destroy the Dol
weevil, whether the eggs or larvae are
laid in n terminating point Of the
seed or alternating ia the form of
a beetle in the loose cottonseed. The
cost Of delinttng by this process he
places at Sc per on.
DR.. Roberts further declares that the
entire cotton plant can be profitably
utilized, claiming to have discovered
a process by which cotton stalks, after
being reduced to pulp, can be con-
verted in thirty-four hours into a fine
fibre, similar in texture to cotton, but
not as long. This fibre. he says, viii.
make the finest paper in the world.
Ihls last idea is by no means new.
some time ago an Atlanta man, whose
name we do not now recall, claimed to
have discovered a similar process for
h conversion Of cotton stalks int q

cloth, bagging and such like. anS. an
nounced his intention Of cree .tine q

strating the feasibility and ,racticahil-
ity of his discovery.

Following the conviction Of Patrick,
Jones was released by the district at

supposed to be dying Of consumption.
After his conviction Patrick was sent
to Sing Sing, where he has since been
a prisoner in the death chamber. He
has spent his time chiefly in the study
Of medicine in an effort to prove that
Rice could not have come to his death

New York, Jan. 1s.--The fight for
life made by Albert T. Patrick. which
after six years OF litigation mas now
reached rs final conclusion, has been
one of the most persistent in the rec
ords of criminal Jurisprudence The
crime for which Patrick was con-
victed, as is we'll known, was the al
legged murder of William MarcEf Rice,
an aged millionaire Who laid the foun-
dation for his fortune In Texas. While
Rice died on September %, 1900. Pat
rick was not arrested until October
4, and then was not accused of muir
der, but Of forging the dead mars
name to checks. Weeks passed be
fore the capital ohense was formally
laid at his door. and 1t was not until
January 20. 1902, that he was ar
raigned before Recorder Con. The
trial was one Of the longest in the hss-
tory Of the state. 1t was March 27
when a verdict Of guilty was rem
dered. The expenses Of the trial and
its preIiminaries were roughly esti-
mated at se5o.0O0 There were 1900
pages Of testimony taken.
Patrick's conviction was largely
brought about by Charles r. Jones. the
valet ol Mr. Rice Jones was arrested
et the same time With Patrick and
lodged IN The Tombs While imprls-
oaed there he tried 10 kill himself,
hacking at his throat with kuife,
At The time he said The knife was

Patrick came to New York from
Texas in 1891, and ne acted as cour-
sci for Rice in several suits. Jones
said that Patrick suggested the max
ing OF bogus win for 2ice In Deeem,
ber. 1898 They were looking through
Rices papers and found his real viii.
ia which. after making small lega-

his fortune TO tho William + Rice

After a short time Patrick brought
