L1rElAAl,Y PENSIONERS.

I For several years the English have
been pensioning those of their distin-
Iguished literary folk who have come
upon hard times in their old age. This
4 is eminently praiseworthy. Too much
cannot be said of the sincere appre-
citation which prompts 1t. But why
publish the list of the pensioners
Itising their poverty and dependence,
There Is no disgrace attached to 1t, "
lis true. AS a public acknowledgment
of merit It is. in fact, an honor. But
literary people are as avcrse as any
other class appearing publicly as
business failures and dependents
Upon the last list, which has Just
been issued, several unexpected names
are to be found. To the panied sur
prise of his countrymen. the name of
SIR Frank Bernard is there. This
knights name is widely familiar in
this country, and Is a household word
in England. For more than quarter
of century he has successfully pre-
sided over BRUSH fuN- making as edllof
OF the London comic weekly, Punch.
He retired year ago, and his stipend
is $1,000 a year.
Other names on this list are equally
surprising and pathetic. Two old ladies
of reduced means-Alrs. Sarah Hutchin-
son and Miss Annie Burns-receive
$500 a year for the services rendered
to literature by their grandfather, Rob
ert Burns. Ouida is there, too. one
of the greatest of literary pleasure
givers, and in her proper name-Louise
de la Ramee-draws an annuity OF
$3.50. Her need of help has only re-
Gently come to light. In view of her
fifty successful novels, no one would
have guessed that she was destitute.
Although she gave up writing some
years ago. she is now only sixty seven
years old-younger than either William
Dean Howells or Mark Twain both
of whom are in the prime of eputa-
ton and production.
