AN Illinois man advertised for a
wife. He married a Texas widow
whose name was given him by a
znatrimonial agency. Now he has
sued the agency and recovered
damages because the widow was
not what the promoter promised.
Now, the question arises, could
this have been a Houston widow,
such as is described by the Post of
that bayou-scented village?

Representative Burleson Has In
troduced a Bill in Congress and
the Measure Has Been Fav.
orabIy Reported-Many Men
Will be Affected.

| A0llC d AuLuoCi VI P$aoSh AA'A-S
in the city of Brownsville and in
the surrounding country will be
benefited, if bill introduced in
Congress by Representative Bur.
Lesson pensioning the defenders Of
the Texas frontier from 1855 to
1860 is passed. This bill has been
favorably reported by the COM
mittee on pensions. The pensioners
to be will be the men and widows
of men who protected the frontier
from marauding Mexicans and
Indian depredators.
The enactment of this measure
would be the elimination of more
than three years of work by Mr..
Burleson. It began with the IT.
PRODUCTION of bill to reimburse
Texas for the money spent in per-
forming this service, which was
properly the duty of the Federal
Government. That bill was passed
during the first session of the Fifty
Ninth Congress, in the face of de-
termined opposition, and the
money has been paid to the State
of Texas. The recognition of that
claim on the part of the Federal
Government gave pensiorable
status to the men who were enlist
ed in the defensive service, and the
bill reported today is intended TO
enable them to have their names
put on the rolls. Mr.. Burleson is
said to be confident that he will
get it through the House.
The bill simply makes applicable
to these survivors and their widows
the terms of the act of 1892, giving
a pension to survivors of Indian
wars. 1t provides that where there
is no record of enlistment or muster
into the service the muster rolls
and vouchers fled with the War
Department by the State of Texas
in proof of its claim for reimburse
ment shall be accepted as satisfac-
tory proof of such enlistment and
service. All contracts heretofore
made between prospective bene-
6ciaries and attorneys are annulled.
Adjt. Gen. Ainsworth, in a
recent communication to the chair
man ofthe Committee on Pensions,
stated that the rolls and other
records on file in the War Depart
mcnt show that / ,301 men were
enlisted in this service, and he es-
Inmates that 800 of these men and
400 widows survive and would be
to pensions. That the
service they performed was in re-
cognized warfare" seems to be es-
tablished by the fact that the
of War in 1860 held that
there was a necessity for calli1g
out the Texas volunteers. and
THAT they were called out by COM
petent authority
Chairman Loudenslager. i'll his
report on the bill, says:
THE service of these veterans
having been acknowledged by the
Government in reimbursement of
he State of Texas for their pay.

ion having been to grant service

years from the date of distuI bance

Honest Odd Fellows.

When mother earth had again be,
come normal and the flames had been
checked through the heroic efforts
OF thousands, the great city Of
San Francisco was in sore distress,
thousands were In sore distress, among
whom was the great brotherhood Of
Odd Fellowship. Its beautiful temple
on the corner of Seventh and Marke.
was laid low, its members, like thous-
ands OF others, were unable to provide
for their suffering brothers. The
grand lodge Of California sent out a
call for help to sister lodges In all jur.
isdict ions. California, the strong hold
OF Odd Fellowship, had never before
issued such call, yet, in her hour of
need, she found the brotherhood true.
A very large sum of money was sent
to the proper officers in charge. These
officers provided for all Odd Fellows
and their families who were In dis.
tress and the good work was kept on
, until all we're able to provide for
themselves. In doing all this, the
brotherhood was but living out Its
principles, and no credit is due. This
COMMITTEE in making its final report,
has revealed something interesting,
showing that graft has not taken pos
session OF all the freed people Of San
Francisco. In summing up, the COM
mittee has said, "Our sister lodges
=, have sent us more money than we
needed, therefore we recommend that
,25 per cent Of all money received be
returned TO the givers" On Monday
evening the local lodge of this city,
received check for % per cent OF the
money given at the time OF the catas
trophe. This adds to the strength OF
its teachings, "That we can be Odd
Fellows only while we act like honest
people"
