PENSION DECISIONS
BY THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE
u. INTERIOR.
Recomlmendation a F,ra 9

81 Va aaA<tiAAA1n5
3Surgeons.The recommendations OF
examining surgeons as to the rate of
pension warranted by the degree of
disability existing in a particular case
are merely advisory and not binding
on the commissioner of pensions, and
the rate of pension to which q claim
ant under the act OF June 81, 1890, is
entitled must be determined from the
objective evidence Of disability
described & in the certificate Of the
medical examination, rather than the
opinion Of the surgeons expressed
therein. 5sss
Death Cause Soldier, totally deaf
in one ear and severely deaf in the
other, was crossing vacant lot in q
village by a footpath. He was read
ing a newspaper, and was knocked
down by a runaway horse attached to
a, wagon, whose approach he did not
hear. Held: That being not on the
highway or other place Of danger, but
in a place supposedly safe from dan
ger, he was not guilty Of contributory
negligence; that his death was re
suit Of pensioned cause. and affords
his widow title to pension under the
general law. I'M. 49, : i, s. 81 77@.
Rebel Service Service
Pension. The department holds that
section AIS, R. S., prohibiting the
payment Of any money on account OF
pensions to any person, Cor to the
widow, children, or heirs of any de.
ceased person, who, In any manner,
engaged in, or aided, or abetted the
late rebellion against the authority Of
the United States, shall not be con
strued to apply to such persons as
afterwards voluntarily enlisted In the
army of the United States, and who,
while in such service, incurred dis.
ability from wound, or injury, or
disease contracted In the line of duty.

Overpayment Of Pension - Rein.
bursement - OVerpayment Of pension
money cannot be recovered by the
government by Withholding payments
Of accruing pension except in only
two classes of cases, viz: First,
where there is manifest fraud on the
part of the pensioner, and second,
where there is a mistaken fact in the
certificate of pension, and, therefore,
subject to correction. iss51 4: slG.t,.:s
Neither an erroneous Judgment as
to the weight of evidence nor d mis-
construction Of the law:9can furnish
/ any ground on which to withhold
pension money for reimbursement;
but in noscase can pension be with
drawn prior to giving notice to the
pensioner, in order that he may be
heard upon sworn testimony.
s Injury from Assault. - "A soldier,
while under orders and obeying army
regulations, is in line of duty, and an
injury, resulting from an unprovoked
assault upon him, does not put him
outside the line OF duty for pension
able purposes. #t I.

MONEY FOR EUROPE.


The delegates to the "See America
First" convention viii find 1T hard to
dam. except in an explettve sense, the
stream of money that flows from one
American source to Europe This Is
the stream that flows from European
Immigrants to their relatives in the
old lands. Secretary Metcalf Of the de-
partment Of commerce and labor has
just transmitted to congress the report
OF Special Inspector Braun. who was
sent abroad to look into the manner in
which certain foreign countries are fos-
tering the emigration Of criminals,
paupers and the undesirable element
generally to the United States.
Mr.. Braun in his report declares
that while certain governments have
laws ostensibly intended to restrict i'm
migration instead Of doing so they &C
tually encourage it by keeping alive
the patriotic spirit for the F'atherland
in the minds OF these colonies" by
representing that unless they adhere
TO the principles Of home patriotism
their governments would leave them
without protection in 'barbaric Amer
lea. b" This is especially true. Mr..
Braun says, in Italy and Hungary.
He asserts that these countries re-
gard the United States in the attitude
Of adjuncts or colonies Of their own,
and by their Instructions and teachings
10 immigrants benefit accrues to the
home government to the detriment of
this country. He cites the fact that
$4,000 600 was sent last year from the
United States to Austria Hungary
alone from these immigrants.
The inspector makes the interesting
statement that numbers of Armenians
come to the United States every year
and work without ceasing until they
have accumulated money enough for
their needs. when they return to their
own country and engage In conspira-
cies against the Turkish government.
They do this. too. as American citi-
zens, and claim immunity. when it is
sought to punish them, on that ac-
count. There are American citizens"
Indeed, scattered around everywhere,
says Mr.. Braun. Re found 1000 Of
them in Jerusalem alone.

When Adam patched" I'm Paradise, be-
fore the cook had come,
He found his homework irksome and 1t
was neglected some.
AID wasn't lazy, either-he was I'D at
early dawn
But he wouldn't air the bedding and he
wouldn't sweep the lawn.
And the serpent heard him mutterins. ''I
won't wear any clOes
Until I find a good fig leaf on which the
button grows"
Beneath the couch Edenic was collected
such a store
OF miscellaneous rubbish as was never
seen before;
While in the primal kitchen was a mess
which declare
Was quite enough itself to make a Chris
tan woman swear
Then the Lord looked in upon him and
He gave an awful gTOan,
1T is not good, / See" He said, that
man should be alone"
And all terrestrial troubles from that
very date began,
For Adam soon thereafter had become q

But he left the dishes standing till the
day that Eve arrived.

MARSHALL FlELpis VIII.

There is always great public interest
In the disposition of the estate of a
very rich man. No story in the dis
patches published Thursday was read
with keener interest than the story of
the requests made by the late Mar
shall Field. Ever since the death of
the merchant prince the public has
been wondering what would become of
the Field millions. The win is public
property now and, we believe, its pro-
visions VIII be generally regarded as
admirable.
After requests amounting 70 more
than $4,000, 900 have been paid the re-
mainder Of the estate goes to the two
grandsons, sons of the late Marshall
Field, jr., now aged and u years.
estimated at more than 500, O0O, 600 in
value, does not, OF course, go to the
boys at once. Mr.. Field seems to have
endeavored to entail his fortune, re-
CARELESS of American law.
The viii provides that the lads shall
not have the money until one of them
has attained the age Of 30 years
though certain sums are to be paid
them, presumably from the income, at
specified times. No specific provision
has been disclosed for the disposal Of
the fortune in the event of the death
of either or both Of the boys without
issue In such event the property will
of course go to the direct heirs of the
young men.
The most notable bequest in the will
aside from the provision for the grand
sons, is that Of $4,000. 900 as an endow-
ment fund and for the maintenance
OF the Field Columbian museum at
Chicago. The only proviso is that
within six years a suitable site for
the proposed new building-the pres
ent building is in Jackson park-shaI
be provided without cost to the mu-
scum. In the event of failure, which
seems impossible, the IS, OO0, 900 reverts
to and becomes a part Of the residuary
estate.
Mr. Field was very generous indeed
to all Of his relatives and close friends
His daughter, an only child, is suit
ably provided for. So is Mrs. Field and
his daughter-in-law, the wife Of his
dead son. Comfortable fortunes are
left to his private secretary. his nieces
and nephews and others.

poison I'M FOOD.

American Medicine, published at
Philadelphia, is inclined to think that
the public has allowed itself to be-
come over-excited over the pure food
question. It declares there is nothing
particularly new in this matter Of
adulterated foods, though from the agi-
tatiOn that is being conducted one
might suppose our ancestors had never
heard Of anything of the kind. Says
American Medicine:
1T is, no doubt, disquieting. to know
that creosote, a rank poison, is put on
our hams, or in the Scotch whisky we
might prescribe for others but these
the old-fashioned smOkehouse or burnt
barrels did the same to bacon and
whisky Of our fOrefathers. Indeed, It
seems to be a rule to look askance at
every innovation, whether it be good
or bad-even sugar was once consid-
cred a dangerous preventative and was
forbidden by law
Copper, once thought dangerous IN
small quantities, is now known to be
quite harmless. and cooking vessels Of
this metal are permitted. The minute
quantities Of dyes used in our ice cream
or cake or to color our butter to its
proper appetizing yellowness, are quite
harmless. Modern cities could
not exist If it were not for the new
ways Of preserving foods long enough
to reach the consumer. It is right and
proper that we should know all about
these new antiseptics, and whether
they are more harmful than the old
ones. and we must also keep a firm
grasp upon the manufacturers to check
excesses, but there is no use getting
frightened over the matter"
The remarks Of the PHILADELPHIA
Journal are somewhat comforting. We
don't want to suffer unnecessarily from
alarm We have the right, though. to
know exactly what we are getting
when we buy food products. Every
bottle Of pickles or tomato catsup. ev-
cry can of peaches or preserves or peas
or corn. everything. in fact, that goes
into the human stomach. should be as
nearly pure as It can be made. When
it is necessary to use a preservative the
fact should be plainly stated on the
outside Of the package

call attention to the preservatfve. Then
