PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions
Made.

Widow.-The law certifies an attor-
ney SO as fee for prosecuting a
widows claim, but under the general
law fee agreements may be given as
high as s25
II. c. ", Racine. Wis.-The disposi-
ton of accrued pension due to inmates
of National Homes at the time of death
is provided for by the act of July L
1902. This act provides that any ball
ance of pension money due a member
of the National Home at time of his
death shall be paid to his. widow. minor
children or dependent mother or faith
er in the order named, and should no
widow, minor child or dependent par
ents be discovered within one year from
the time of death of the pensioner, said
balance shall be paid to the post fund
of the Branch of said National Home of
which the pensioner was member at
the time of his death. to be used for
the common benefit of the members of
the Home under the direction of the
Board OF Managers, subject to future
reclamation by the relatives hereinbe-
fore designated. upon application filed
with the Board of Managers within five
years after the pensioners death.
Subscriber-The act of March 3,
1903, provides that all pensioners who
have lost an arm at the shoulder or a
leg so near the hip joint as to prevent
the use of an artificial limb shall re-
ceive a pension at the rate of S55 per
month. We find nothing in the act that
would prohibit a s55 pensloner from
claiming the benefits of sections 47S7
and 4788 and the various amendments
thereto, which provide that artificial
limbs be issued every three years or the
money value thereof. which is SIS for
a leg or $50 for an arm or a foot.
SubScriDpr Wis S-YOn will have
title to pension under the general law,
provided your husbands death results
from any of the disabilities for which
he IS now In receipt of a pension under
said law, or from any disability incurred
In service and line of duty. If death
should be from other causes. you will
still have title to pension under the act
of June q, 1890, since your marriage
was prior to the passage of said act:
provided your income is not in excess
of $3.50 per annum independently of
your daily labor. Legal widowhood must
be established under either law. If
your marriage took place after the pas
sage of the act of March 10, 1886, the
rate. If allowed, will be sS under either
law.
Parent, Mich.-The act granting PEN
general law requires that dependence
in whole or in part must be shown at
the time Of the soldiers death. The act
of June 81, 1890, requires that depend
ence be shown at the date of filing the
claim. The conditions of the two acts
as to dependence itself are the same.
The benefits of the act Of June 27, 1890,
are not, however, confined to the par
ents of those who served in the war of
the rebellion, but are extended to all
parents where pensionable dependence
n n n
son who served since said war in the
Army or Navy. No specified term of
service Is required to give title under
this act, but under this act the soldiers
death must be due to service, the same
as under the general law.

ENCAMPMENT PERSONALS.

One of the charming personalities In
the parade at Minneapolis was Welcome
Rose Catharine Vallandingham, the

an active worker in the Grand Army
and her mother was President of the
Department OF the w. r. c. of
North Dakota and a prominent can
didate for Junior Vice President of the

bingham is pretty and sweet enough to
do credit to both her parents.
Capt. ]. E. Meginn had the unique
distinction Of being the only delegate
from Mexico, and appeared in the En-
campment as delegate from the De-
partment Of Tennessee, to which E. o.

He is quite prominent in the American
circles in Mexico City, and served IN
the war In the Sd Mo-, then in the 66th

two years among the Indians.
A woman who attracted much at
tention at the Encampment was Mrs.

lion under Farragut at the capture of

his stand alongside of every distiller,

boys who are taken away from home
and thrown into an atmosphere such as
the canteen produces. The Govera-

strong and sober young men. Why
should not they be returned to their
homes at the end of their service as

flames of sectional strife anew by re-
viving the horrors of the hated prison
