PENSION DECISIONS
By the Assistant Secretary of the
Department of the Interior.

Marriage - Legitimacy. "A minor
child, to be pensionable, must be the
child OF woman to whom the SOL
der, its father. was legally married,
Notwithstanding the soldier solemnly
declared and recognized It to be his
legitimate child.
Desertion-Voidabl Enlistment
In 1861 the enlistment of minor un-
der the age of Is years was voidable,
and reputation of such enlistment
ON the part OF the minor by the act of
desertion would constitute no bar to
pension on account of a disability in
Cured during the period of a second
enlistment.
DISQUALIFICATION having errone-
ously been granted to the soldier un-
der the act of June q, 1890, he having
aided and abetted the late rebellion
against the authority of the United
states, section 4716, Revised Statutes,
positively prohibits the payment of
the pension that may have accrued to
him to the date of his death, to his
widow.
Division of Pension.-It having been
decided that upon q proper construc-
ton of the law and upon the evidence
In the case the division of the pension
and the payment to the wife of his
pensioner, by virtue of the act named,
were erroneous and without proper
warrant of law, the refusal to restore
to him the amount of which hewas
deprived is likewise illegal, and 1t is
directed that such amount shall be
paid to him.
Line of Duty.-It appearing from
the evidence in this case that at the
time this soldier lost his life by
drowning he was absent from his
command on pass. attending a pic
mic for his own pleasure and amuse-
ment, he was not in Zine of duty"
within the meaning and intent of
those words as used in the pension
laws, and his death under such cir
cumstances confers no title to PEN
sion upon his minor child under the
provisions of section 1902. Revised
Statutes. and the decisions of this de.
partment.

TRIALS
Preliminary Races For the
Vanderbilt Auto Cup Be-
gin Tomorrow.

New York, Sept 21.-Everything is
in readiness for the elimination trials
tomorrow to decide what American
automobiles shall be eligible to COM
pete in the Vanderbilt Cup races next
month. The Long Island course is
IN nne order. the grand stands are
completed and the Is contestants have
their cars tuned up and ready for the
best OF which they are capable. Mi
nicola, Garden City and other towns in
the vicinity of the course will be the
mecca for the thousands who will 90
down in cars or by rail so as to be on
hand when the races are started, as
struggle is in prospect that for speed
ana daring has never been equalled
In this or any other country.
This years race has aroused great
err interest than any other ever held
in this country, both from spectat-
ors' point and from that of the manu-
facturer. Realizing the value of win
ming such an event the latter took up
the matter in earnest this year and
have expended $35G,O00 in building
special cars for the race. Last year
a large percentage OF those entered
were stock cars, stripped and prepar-
ed for the race. This year it is differ
ent and 1t is confidently believed by
Americans that one result of the
months of experiment and preparation
Will be surprise party for the for
eign cars.
Following the precedent set in 1904
and 1905, the commission have select
ed course for the third running of
the race that differs markedly from
Its predecessor. There is a diverg-
ence of opinion as to whether the new
course is faster or slower than the
old one, also as to whether it Is less
dangerous or more So The new course
is as follows:
Beginning at the intersection of the
Jericho turnpike and Mineola avenue,
easterly through Jericho and East
Norwich road to East Norwich at Nc
Queens; then westerly along the
Flushing and North Hampstead turn
pike to Bulls Head corner at Green
vale; then southerly over the back
road, SO called, to old Westbury; then
westerly to Mineola road; TIM north
erly to the Flushing and North Hemp
stead turnpike; then westerly over
this road through the village of Man
nasset 10 the junction OF the Lake.
Vile road; then southerly to Lake.
Vile; then easterly to Searingtown;
then southerly over Mineola avenue
road to the starting point.
This route has eleven corners, as
compared with seven last year, but
1t is claimed by those in a position to
know the difficulties confronting driv-
ers In such a competition that all
eleven will not offer such dangers as
did the lesser number of year ago.
There is but one turn that is regarded
as really dangerous. This is known
as the "hairpin turn" and is located
at the junction of the back road with
the old Westbury road, at Old West
bury. Much extra caution will have
to be used in rounding this turn, but
all the drivers to make the race to-
morrow have had ten days. practice

ed down the mountainside and swept

every house and building in the VIII
lagos.
To rains account must be reckoned
the complete wiping off the map, in
1901, of fourteen towns and thirty VIII
lagos in the state of Virginia. A cloud
burst, following some twenty-four
hours continuous rain, made such a
huge quantity of water that it burst
the PocahOntas dam and released
thousands of tons of water, which
swept down the hills at midnight in a
mighty flood and carried all before
them.
OF the town of keystone, not far
off, only single house was left stand
ing. All the mines were flooded, three
hundred miles Of railway track were
destroyed, besides making matchwood
OF an enormous qpantity of rolling
stock. Some five hundred persons
were sent to their last account, while
thousands of miners and their families
were compelled to camp out on the
hillsides in absolute restitution.
Fire is one of the worst town de-
stroyers. 1t is only a couple of years
since the pretty little Norwegian town
OF Aalesund was completely wiped off
the map and it's $4,000 inhabitants
deprived of their homes by disas-
trOus fire, which Quilted every build
ing.
Jacksonville, Florida's Furnishing
city, was similarly devastated a few
years before. Only by superhuman
efforts were the government buildings
and two or three houses saved, all the
rest were reduced to ashes.
The fishing village of Marsova, near
Bombay, four years back, was also re-
moved from the map as with a sponge.
While it lasted the fire burned like a
tar Darrell. In few hours it's eight
hundred houses were razed to the
ground and it's 10000 inhabitants de-
prived of their homes. Constructed
mostly of bamboo and palm mating,
though many were built of more sub
stantial materials, its houses were so
huddled together that many thorough
fares were scarcely more than six feet
wide. Consequently when the fire
broke out at the end of the village a
strong breeze carried the flames over
the entire encampment and destroyed
everything.-Tid Bits

Washington. Sept. 21.-There has
been so much of demand for stand
ard silver dollars in general circula-
ton during the last year as to at
tract attention among the treasury
officials as being one of the interest
ing features of the monetary situa-
ton. The outstanding volume of
standard silver dollars at present ag-
gregates about $SO,0OO,0OO. This rep
resents an increase of about 100000
900 in the last year.
The Importance of this question of
outstanding silver dollars at this time
Is due to the fact that the treasury is
no longer able to supply the demands
for standard silver dollars, and a con-
ditton is presentable with respect to
this class of money which is in line
with the general conditions of the
monetary system with respect to all
small denomination currency. II is
apparent from the returns which
come to the treasury that the demand
for standard silver dollars is now con-
fined almost exclusively to thefar
west and south. On one day during
last week. a request was received at
the treasury from the subtreasury in
Chicago for permission to transfer to
the treasury account $4,000 silver dol
lars In exchange for ones, twos and
fives of silver certificates. At the
same time, the demand for silver dol
lars from southern and southwestern
points increased so rapidly that the
stock in the treasury, which a year
ago aggregated more than $1,000, 900
was reduced this week down to the
small figure of $4,000.
Incident to this scarcity of standard
silver dollars, there is reopening of
the demands in some quarters for a
renewal of silver purchases and adj
dttional coinage of silver dollars.
Southern representatives calling at
the department during the week were
insistent upon having their sections
supplied with additional silver dollars
and when informed that the only way
this could be accomplished would be
by the transfer to the treasury of
silver certificates which could be can
celed and supply of standard silver
dollars sent out from the treasury,
their reply was that the south at pres
ent needs all the paper money it can
OBTAIN IN the form OF silver certifi-
Gates. For this reason they said no
exchange of silver certificates could
be made to obtain silver dollars, not
withstanding the pressure for silver
dollars In the retail trade and for
wage payments among the colored
labor throughout the southern states.
In connection with the scarcity of
dollars, which is only a part of the
general stringency of small notes
from which the country is now suf-
fering, attention is called by the Off
Gals to the fact that of the more than
1000 national banks in the country
which never have owned plates for
the printing of notes of IS denomina-
tions, only 1924 banks have responded
to the urgent request made recently
by Secretary Shaw, with increases OF
issues OF notes of this denomination.
That is the record up to this time. It
appears to be the limit, because orders !

Many Towns Wiped Out
vesuvus Is Not the Only Destroyer of Towns and Villages
on Earth.

By overwhelming Boscotrecase
Tore Annunziata-whose population
numbers 7.G00-Ottajano and San
Giuseppe, four of the towns in its i'm
mediate neighborhood. and by caus-
ing their inhabitants to abandon their
homes and to flee for their lives. Vesu-
vius has added further particulars to
her long and evil record.
Several times she has wiped towns
clean off the map. She began in the
year 70 by destroying the magnificent
cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum
and killing 100000 people. In 1894
she sent up streams of lava thirty feet
high, overwhelming the town of Tore
del Greco, and twenty-eight years lat
er she flooded the villages of Massa
and San Sebastiano with boiling wat
er.
Again, in 1861, Tore del Greco was
partially destroyed by lava, to be fol-
lowed ten years afterward by violent
eruptions. which sent the inhabitants
of the vesuvian towns flying to
NAPLES lOT safety.
Earthquakes have devoured many a
fair town. In this way Guatemala, a
few years back. was deprived of two
of her rising towns-by just three
terrific shocks. Though they lasted
but minute or SO they completely
shattered the towns of Quezaltenago
and Amatitian. The damage was
enormous, hundreds of persons being
rendered entirely destitute.
Shemakha. in Transcaucasia, was
also completely annihilated by an
earthquake. Considerable damage was
further done to thirty-four villages of
the district. With such appalling sud-
denness did the calamity occur that
Shemakha's $4,000 inhabitants were
/. homeless in few seconds. Over two
thousand poor souls were discovered
among the ruins.
Terrible as was this catastrophe it
was completely overshadowed by the
fearful eruption from Mont Pelee,
which, four years ago, totally Destroy
ed the city of st. Pierre. It's harrow
ing details, however, are still fresh in
the memory and need no repetition.
Yet even st. Pierre was not wiped
from the map with more thorough de-
structiOn than was Urahatoa.
Urahatoa was an island thirteen
miles square, situated in thre Straits
of Sunda. In prehistoric ages it
formed itself by volcanic eruption,
but one August, some tweny-three
years back. it returned two-thirds of
its bulk to the sea whence it came
Its crater walls had fallen in, togeth-
er with part of the ocean bed. and the
whole world trembled with the shock.
As one lump eight square miles of
earth were suddenly precipitated into
the sea, creating two small islands,
which, hover, subsequently disap-
peared. At the same moment gigan-
tic ocean wave was formed, which,
after sweeping the adjoining coasts of
Java and Sumatra, destroying over
three hundred villages and causing
the deaths of over thirty-six thousand
persons, careered in a mad gallop
around the entire globe. Wrecks and
floods occurred through this ocean
wave. even at a distance of thousands
