All Were Soldiers Widows.

So far as can be aScertained by a casual
examination of the records of the pension
Office, all Presidents widows who have
been pensoned heretofore have been the
widows of men who have seen military
service and whose widows were entitled
to a pension under the general laws and
the amendments thereto
Mr.. Cleveland is one of the few Presi-
dents who was never a soldier except
that President he was COMMANDMENTS
chief of the army of the United States.
The rate of pension which Congress
has habitually granted 70 Presidents
widows is $4,000 a year 1t was in 1882
that the precedent of granting this sum
was established.
1t is Il curious fact that March 3. 1889
an act was approved which at the same
time granted a pension OF $4,000 a wear
each to Mrs. Tyler Mrs POLK and Mrs
Garheld. and in February of the same
year the pension of Mrs. Lincoln was
increased from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
Mrs. Lincoln was dropped from the
rolls June of the same year on ac-
count of death. She had been receiving
a pension of $4,000 since July ii, 1870.
Lincoln Saw Service.
Many persons do not know that Presi-
dent Lincoln saw active military serv-
ice. The pension Office records show he
was the captain of IA company of militia
in the Black Hawk Indian war in the
Jos. His widow was entitled TO a serv-
ice pension on that account
