The McCun,ber Bill.

Hiram Cook, Verona, N. j., is vet
eran of the civil war, and wishes to say
with regard to the McCumber bill that
he thinks it far superior to any Law en-
acted for the benefit of the veterans of
the civil anG Mexican wars since rebel
lion succumbed to patriotism. A gem
Grafton has passed since these great
and yet there are many aged
veterans still alive who have long passed
the usual number of years allotted to
man, and who will hail with joy the
benefits of that act. After carefully
bordering over the meaning of the act
and from his personal observation of
the veterans who have now reached the
75-mile post, the cOmrade has come to
the conclusion that there should be
some special provision made TO-. the
benefit of the few surviving veterans
who have passed over the mentioned
age limit. There are several kinds of
dependents whom we meet thru life,
but the wounded and disable patriotic
American soldiers should be placed
above any other. None can be better
qualified to assert the rights of those
veterans who have been so unfortunate
as to be placed on the list of depend
ents of the Nation as those who fought
in that great struggle for right against
wrong, shoulder to shoulder with them.

Lincoln Monument.

Charles Deal, Co d, Saith N. Y. and
Co. II, 10th n. Y, u. S. Consul, St.
Johns, p O., wishes to second the mo-
ton of Comrade Blackburn, Co. c, saith
ILL.,, Salem, Mass, with regard to the
Lincoln Monument. He proposes {hdt
the motion be made unanimous and tfd /
every comrade be permitted to contrib
ute his mite out of the Service Pen4ion
bill of Feb. 6. 1907. He thinks the
monument should be the same size and
design as the one of the Father of Dur
Country, a sort of a twin monument, 10
that. and he calls upon the comrades TO
come to the front and push the noble
thought of Com-ade Blackburn along.

once. 1t seems to be a good deal of a
mix-up. Capt William NJ. Mclaughlin,
head of the detective bureau. is impli-
Gated, and Commissioner Bingham.
Mayor Mcclellan and District Attorney
Jerome are all more or less concerned
in the case. Mrs. Gould naturally wants
good, Cat alimony, as she places her hus-
bands fortune at about s20.000,000 So
far nothing has appeared in print
against the character of Mrs. Gould,
but it is said that the Goulds have a
heavy gun of defense which will be
used later, and that a counter suit may
be instituted which will bring out some
highly spiced disclosures.
Central Park may receive as a gift
soon the house in which Joan of Arc,
the Maid of Orleans. once lived. The
actors, Julia NARROW and E. H. So,h-
ern, hearing that the house was to be
torn down, telegraphed the Mayor of
Orleans, offering to purchase it. The
matter is now before the city council
1t is quite likely the authorities will not
let the house go, acting on the human
impulse to hang on to that which some
one else wants.
The young Queen of Spain, in whom
the entire world is very tenderly in
terested just now, has q remarkably
gentle, sympathetic heart. Altho pos
sessed of quite a modest fortune, many
American women enjoying far greater
incomes than she, she paid herself. out
of her own private purse, for rations
for the poor of Madrid during the Sc
we're weather of last Winter.
Miss Helen Gold and her brother
George seem to be the only members
of the family who manage to keep out
of trouble. Mrs. Howard Gould is
about to bring suit for separation
from her husband, charging desertion,
cruelty, and non-support The couple
parted last July, and he has contributed
nothing towards her support since Sep
TENDER. Before her marriage Mrs.
Gould was Katherine Clemmons, the
actress, and Mr.. Gould's family OBJ
iected very seriously to the match.
Howard would not listen to them, how
ever. and insisted upon marrying her,
altho it is said he gave up $5,O00,G0O
by so doing. Several years after the
marriage his attitude towards his wife
began to change, and it is thot that
the opposition of his family has had
something to do with the final break.
Mrs. Gould does not desire a divorce,
wishing naturally to retain her rights in
the Gould estate as the wife of Howard
Gould. There are no children. In the
Frank Could household it seems to be a
case of too much mother-in-law. A
public announcement from Mrs. Kelley,
his wife's mother, states that Frank
had unjustly accused her of interfering
in his family affairs, and she afiirns
that nothing which he may say will
keep her from visiting her daughter all
she pleases.

The Sanitary Commission.

Editor National Tribune: In a recent
issue of The National Tribune, Com
rade Porter, of Grinnell Iowa, gave
some of his experiences while in the
hospital at City Point, Va, in the Sum
mer of 1864. l can corroborate all he
has written with regard to the exclu-
siVeneSs and the colossal amount of red
tape the Sanitary Commission required
whenever there was a demand made
upon them. 1t was very evident that
the agents We're out on a sightseeing
junket, and the supplies went for home
consumption. After l was able to walk
about the place / tried to buy some of
their stock, but could get nothing with
out an order from the head Surgeon.
1t is needless to say that / went with
out it, but will say, however, at one
time in 1862, before they became moe
culated with the virus of red tape, they
did excellent service. After the evacUa-
ton of Yorktown McClellan's army
crawled slowly up the peninsula, bound
for Richmond. He established at the
White House Landing a hospital, and
as the weather was hot and the boys
not used to marching in that climate
il soon assumed fearful proportions. Il
was my fortune, or my misfortune, 10
fall q victim to the cllnatc. and 10 he
sent to that hospital. The Department
was unable to handle such a rush Of
malaria and typhoid trouble, conse-
quently there was scarcely any system
in the management. After we had been
there few days, soaked to the Skin
when it rained,l fed on salt horse and
desiccated vegetables boiled together,
the Sanitary Commission put in an ap-
pearance. They went thru the tents.
and picked out those who showed vital
ity enough TO last two days, hustled
them on the steamer S. r. SpauldinS,
which sailed for New York. Red tape
was not in sight then. We had no fur
Tough to show where we were going or
what we belonged to. The trip was
repeated a number of times, and there
are hundreds and thousands of veterans
to-day who can thank the Sanitary
Commission for their lives.-Artemus
