will masquerade as guests in frock

as servants. One or more men will,
of course, be on constant guard in the

TONS During ones lifetime, at least,
it would seem that it would be an easy
matter to dispose of money. AS a
matter Of fact, many men and women
of great wealth are obliged to place
their benefactions upon a regular
business basis in order not to be
robbed. Several men of great wealth.
notably Mr.. Rockefeller, are compelled
to employ men at large salaries, who
are in turn assisted by stats of clerks,
to examine into the demands made
upon them and after investigation de-

Charity Misunderstood.

A man in the ordinary walks of life,
endows hospital or a college may be
generally praised for doing so, but for
a man of great wealth it is difficult to
make any gift without being misunder-
stood, perhaps severely and bitterly
criticised. The white light which
beats upon throne is turned on his
slightest act. The very possession of
such great wealth serves to antagonize
a considerable proportion of the com

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

Presumptivc Evidcncc~Where Il appears
more probable from the evidence that
claimants disability originated from
causes to which he was necessarily ex-
posed while in the line of duty than from
causes having no necessary connection with
the service, IL is held that the diSahlity
was due to the former causes. Upon this
point the presumption, In the absence Of
evidence to the contrary, must incline to-.
ward the claimant.
Cause of Dcath.--An injury incurred IN n
scutie with comrade in barracks and
causing soldiers death. does not give title
to pension, inasmuch said injury Is not
due to the line OF duty. The department
reatlirms the doctrine that the cause OF
disability or of death must In some man
ner pertain to and have Il natural and log.
and line Of duty in said service and dis
abilities originating in personal alterca-
tons sustain no such connection.
Proof of Marriage of Ex- SlavcS.--All en-
nctmentS OF Congress relating to the mar
riage of colored soldiers contemplate only
negroes who were slaves, or who resided In
states wherein their marriage may not have
been legally soemni5ed. They neither re.
fer to nor include negro soldiers or their
families who were free, or who resided in
states where they could have soemnized
legal marriage
Line of Duty--A soldier voluntarily ali.
sent from his company Is out of line or
duty and, therefore, exclusively respon-
not legitimately connected with his mill
tary service.
Honorable Discharge The records of the
war department showing that claimant was
honorahly discharged from the service IN
the war with Mexico, the commissioner or
pensions has no lawful authority TO ques-
lion such record. and must accept the fact
AS certified to him by the secretary of war

BERLIN, Sept 16,--Wilhelm Bode,

it had been the late Rodolphe kanL' s
fear for some time before his death that
his great collection might be broken up
or sold to English or American buyers.
Talking to Director Bode about this
Herr kann, three days before his death,
sent for notary and dictated his wishes
regarding the collection, so as to prevent
its sale The notary promised to draw
up Il will Immediately so that kann
could sign il, but the latter died before
the notary saw him again, and. strange
", the notary also died at about the
same time without disclosing kann's in
tentions.
Director Bode. with other men distin-
guiShcd in art circles, regrets that the
greater part of the best works of the
Kaun collection are lost to Europe
The above dispatch appears TO confirm
the reports, often denied. that the IA
NOUS kann collection would eventually
become Il part of the New York Metro
pohtan Museum of Art. The price paid
for the collection. which consists Of
paintings sculptures and art objects of
various descriptions. WAS said TO be So
