PENSION DECISIONS.
By the Assistant Secretary of the De-
partment of the Interior.

riage-Tennessee-By a recent decision
of the supreme court of Tennessee, com
mon-law marriages are held to be Invalid in
that state. Mere cohabitation and reputa-
ticn as husband and wife, without evidence
referring to the fact of an antecedent cere-
monial marriage between the parties, are
not sufficient to establish In pension
claim a valid marriage in Tennessee when
the public records of the place of the al
legged marriage fail to show 1t and are APP
parently complete and reliable.
Pathological SeQuence-Death Cause.-The
soldier was penSioner on account of dis
ease of throat among other causes, and II
is contended he died of broncho-pneumonia
caused by an extension of a catarrhal pro.
cess from the throat.
1t is held that if the death cause was, as
claimed, broncho-pneumonia, 1t was due tc
an infection and not to extension OF ca
tarrh of the throat; but the affection of the
lungs to which soldiers death was ascribeQ
was probably a complication or terminal
event of disease of the kidneys bright s.
of which soldier was said to be dying when
he was medically examined three days be-
fore his death
Division of Pension-The mere fact that
claimant married a second husband under
the belief that her first husband was dead,
does not justify the rejection of her claim
for one-half her first husbands pension up
on the ground that she was not woman OF
good moral character even though her be
lief was not well founded.
Practices Special Examination. - Where
after special examination, directed by
this department, after appeal, claim foi
division of pension under the act of Marcf
8. 1892 has been decided by the depart
ment the decision will be deemed final tC
the extent that. in the absence of fraud OF
mistake, it will not be reopened or modlhet
tary of the interior.

which her name was dropped from tbs
rolls was a nullity, she is entitled to re

English Debt Penalties.

Consul F. w. Mahin writes from Not
tingham that imprisonment for debt was
uominally abolished in England many
years ago, but the actual number of cases
Of imprisonment has since annually in
creased, faster than the population. He
continues: Much more judicial option is
possible than formerly was the case, and
debtor against whom judgment is rem
before a given date on penalty OF i'm
prisonment. This power of committal
resides in the judge of the court. Some
judges exercise it much more freely than
others. In Nottingham county imprison-
ment for debt is rare. In other populous
court districts with much court business
the cases of Imprisonment do not exceed
fifty a year, while in some less populous
districts with less court business the
number reaches 500 year. But
it would seem that on the whole
the indulgence shown to delinquent
debtors is steadily decreasing, for the
cases of Imprisonment in the coun-
try have decennially increased as
follows under the existing law: In 1876,
1928; 1886, 54S6; 1896, $3.50; 1906
1856
'"Technically the imprisonment is for
contempt of court. The judge orders the
debtor to pay before a given day, failing
which he may be jailed for contempt
not exceeding forty days, however, in
any case, and he is released at once if he
pays in the meantime. daily Consular

TEACHER GIVES UP
PEWAUKEE BATTLE.
Miss Roberts Appears at School to Find

Glee Shortlived.

PEWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 12.-L Spe-
cial. Following the action taken at the
special school meeting Friday evening,
demanding her reinstatement Miss Hell
en- e. NJ. Roberts, the assistant prlnci-
pal of the village high school, whose re-
cent discharge by the school board re-
suited in wallout by the students,
presented herself al the high school this
morning accompanied by two prominent
residents of the village and patrons of
the school. Her appearance i'll the school
room shortly before the hour for open
ing caused a furry and Principal Z. j.
Mass after informing the teacher that
school was not open, left the building.
Miss Roberts was warmly greeted by
the students.
Later members of the school board
arrived at the school and Miss Roberts
was informed that, Notwithstanding the
action taken by citizens at the special
school meeting demanding her rein
statement, the board would not recede
from it's position and her services were
not desired She subsequently left the
school. 1t is understood that Miss Rob-
erts has been offered a position both in
the schools at Waukesha and also in
the Twelfth district school at MllWau-
kee and will probably accept one of
them.
A number of the local students have
left the village school permanently and
are attending school at Waukesha,
Oconomowoc and Milwaukee. 1t now
seems improbable that the matter will
be carried into the courth. for while it IS
likely that the school board could be re-
strained by injunction from paying the
other teachers their salaries on the
grounds that they are Illegally employed.
it is not probable that this action will
be taken. Citizens assert, however, that
the members of the present school
board will never be reelected. The term

London's Revenue from Rents.

The City of London derives a goodly
revenue year by year from what are le-
gally known as quit rents-in other words
the rent paid by the freebooter or copy
holder of manor in discharge or acquit-
lance of other service that might be
claimed. The policy of today is to re-
deem these payments, but the sums so
demanded rule high For instance, the
governors of st. Thomas hospital are
paying no less a sum than 5000 for the
redemption of quit rent of only IS a
year. A thousand years purchase
ought to satisfy even the most greedy
landlord.-Pall Mall Gazette.

busy the past few years attempting to
perfect some scheme which would aid the
buyer to determine if butter had been
"Watered."
Scheme of Benkendorf.
Mr. Benkendorf discovered that the
use Of an oven with high pressure, which
would cost about $40 and a small pair of
it has been demonstrated that the re-
suits are as accurate as any made by the
chemist.
The oven is constructed on the princi-
pie of utilizing the high temperature Of
25O degrees to go degrees Fahrenheit,
obtained from steam when under pres
sure. To do this he has shell bOlted to
an inner shell, q regular box within
box, leaving a space of three-fourths of
ar inch between the two. The oven is
made strong enough to withstand boiler
pressure and on account of this the high
temperature is naturally also high.
How Test Is Made.
To make the test a butter maker sim
ply weighs out a sample of butter and
places it in a small dish, preferably
aluminium, and puts it in the oven. The
high temperatur will quickly evapOrate
the water and within comparatively
few minutes the sample will be perfectly
dry.
With this method any quantity of but
d
so much as so grams and results OBJ
tanned rapidly. In the meantime while
the butter is in the oven the buttermaker
can go on with his regular work. The
device is also used to determine water
in cheese. With Mr.. Benkendorf's de-
vice many determinations can be made
at one time being only limited by the
capacity of the oven, which may hold
fifteen or twenty small sample dishes
In the oven method, when the sample
has acquired a brown color. it has been
found that all the moisture has been
eVaporated and the sample is taken out
and allowed to cool, after which it is
weighed and the difference between the
original weight OF the sample and the
second weight. will give the amount of
water expelled. A little arithmetic will
enable him to determine the percentage
of the moisture in the butter from which
the sample was taken. Previous to the
discovery of the oven method by Mr..
Benkendorf complete chemical analy
sis was necessary.
Accuracy Is Shown.
To show the accuracy of the results
the following table is taken from a pa
per read by Mr.. Benkendorf at the Ma
tional Dairy association which met in
Chicago last week:
