Protests Against Age Limit.

The members OF Auxiliary No of John
A. Logan command OF the Union Veterans
Union. at meeting held Tuesday, protested
against the enactment of pending legislation
before Congress which provides for the re
Guction of the salary of aged government
clerks. The resolutions adopted set forth
That We, the mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters of the veterans who fought for
the country and are now threatened with
being reduced in salary or severed from the
employment of the government by section
two of the legislative appropriation bill, in
regular session OF Auxiliary No. ., John
Logan Command OF the Union Veterans
Union, protest against the enactment of
this section.
The proposed law makes no discrimina-
ton as 10 efficiency, but places a dead line
at the age Of seventy. Believing that a
grateful country will never forget the men
who saved the nation from dissolution We
viii pray that our Legislators will find some
way OF eliminating from the service those
who are inefficient without making age a
bar"

FILES STRONG PROTEST
PROPOSED LEGISLATION ON AGE
LIMIT CONDEMNED.

Cemmander-in-chief H. L. Dean, of the
Union Veterans Legion has sent out cir
cular letters to the various auxiliary legions
of the organization, In, which he utters a
strong protest against the enactment Of
section eight of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill now before
Congress providing for the retirement OF
aged employees In the government service
Commander Dean refers to the accomplish
ments of the men who fought for the Union
In the civil war and who are now in the
public service In various civil capacities.
With the records these men have made.
both as soldiers and 1aw-abiding citizens of
our country he says, at seems strange
that there should be a feeling among some
Of our lawmakers that these patriots ought
to be relegated to obscurity."
The Veterans Union commander recalls
to mind the scene on Pennsylvania avenue
over forty-one years ago, when the ar
mics of Gems. Grant and Sherman passed
In final review and were welcomed by the
plaudits of the countless thousands who
thronged the streets. A grateful nation was
paying Just tribute to the men who had for
four long years endured the trials and
hardships incident to the life of soldier"
The great prosperity of the country he con-
tHtueS, mas Deen generally attributed to the
services of the men who fought the ma
tfon's battles He cannot see why these
veterans should be legislated against at
this time of their life while they are still
capable of doing thoroughly efficient work
On the same line Auxiliary No. 81. Union
Veterans Legion, of this city has adopted
resolutions characterizing the proposed Leg
islation as being adverse to the spirit OF
the square DEAF to the defenders of the
country in time of peril and expressing the
earnest hope that this cup of penury may
not be pressed to the lips OF these faithful
servants of the government
The resolution recites that We the moth
ers, wives, sisters and daughters of these
men, belonging to Auxiliary No. 30, Union
Veterans Legion, unite as one In protest
against the enactment OF section of the
legislative, executive and judicial appro-
prfation bill as statutory law. for the rea-
son that It's provision will bring penury and
sufferinsc into the homes of the men who
bore the heat and the burden when our
country needed their services, and now, af-
ter long and faithful service this measure
If enacted into law, will reduce them in sal
airy, as they reach the stipulated ages no
matter how faithful or efficient they may
be, and finally when they reach the age OF
seventy they must step over the dead line
into obscurity."

Popularity of sheboygan Water.

Mr. ]. E. Dyer of 1880 NJ street. the dis
tributing agent. ascribes the popularity of
sheboygan water to the following reasons
1T is natures own mineral water, COM
ing from depth OF 1,425 feet; it is highly
effervescent and retains its gas longer than
any other mineral water on the market
it blends so perfectly with wines and liquors
that II is used extensively In hotels. clubs
and cafes: 1t is put up in an attractive and
cleanly manner, each bottle being sterilized
and rinsed in water from an artesian well
before being filled; II is rich in salines

station very early last Sunday morning and

peared. going east on Pennsylvania avenue.
Mr.. Acton alleged that the man in uniform

They got 1t last night. Just about .

upon timepiece, but before he was given
any money Detective Hartigan walked In
and arrested him. When taken to police

the watch.
Where did you buy it7' he was asked.
AT the depot" was his ready response
What is the name OF the man who sold
1t to your
He had a brown mustache,' the man IN
uniform answered.
You'll have to do better than that" he
was told. 1.-THE court hears so much about
the stranger with a brown mustache.
Some other description would do just as
we'll"
Young said he made the purchase a week
ago last night about 1890 o'clock, ana
seemed surprised when the detectives told
him that it was not taken from Mr.. Acton
until after that time. He said he gave 20
for the watch, which Is worth about $IoV.
