The Federal Pension List.
(Virginian Pilot.)

Forty-three years have passed since
the fall Of the Confederacy. Yet
there are still more than a million
names on the Federal pension list, or
100000 more than were enrolled
from first to last in the armies of the
South The approprition for support
of these pensioners aggregates for
the coming year $160,00O,0O0, or
nearly six times greater than they
were thirty years ago. The bounty
has been extended to collateral OBJ
jects from time to time till now the
bulk Of it goes to persons other than
the veterans. In a New England vii
lage of to-day survivor of the Civil
War who Is unmarried is sought
after by the young girls Of the vicin-
ity as though he were a youthful
Adonis; for when he totters to the
grave, already yawnins before him,
the widow will fall heirto his annuity
and can then seek a union with her
real sweetheart. We are told that in
that section a superannuated soldier
stands no more chance of escaping
the clutch of one Of these rapacious
Hebes than a junebug would Of es-
cape when thrown into coop Of
turkeys. No one objects to support
ing the men who actually fought the
battles of the Uuion; but it is pretty
hard to be taxed for the benefit of
substitutes, bummers and lately
made wives, and widows and ficti-
tious descendants.

Thursday morning, May 21, at

peacefully bore away the spirit of
Mrs. Dehlia Moore King, wife of John
King. Her death has cast a gloomy

she had been confined to her room
four months with that dread disease
consumption. She bore her suffer-
ing with Christian fortitude and res
ignation, always mindful of the COM
forts Of those around her.
In early life she united with the
church. She was in her thirtieth
year. Thirteen years ago she was
happily married-to John King, MAX
ing him a loving, devoted wife. She
Is survived by her husband and five
little girls, her father, mother, eigXs
sisters and one brother, and ho$ $t
Of relatives and friends.
On Friday, the 22d, a large con-
course of sorrowing friends followed
her remains to Oakway Wesleyan
church, where her frail body was
committed to mother earth to await
the glorious morning Of the resur-
rection, the funeral being conducted
by Rev. James Mason. To the grief
stricken husband and little children
and bereaved parents Is extended
the sympathy of many friends.

Death Of Little Hiram Gibson,

On Tuesday, May 10th, there fell
over the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
ter Gibson pail Of sadness when the
angel Of death came and snatched
from the cradle their darling baby.
He was eighteen months old, and a
sweeter, brighter child could be
found nowhere. All who knew it
loved 1t. All that could be done by
loving hands was done to save it,
but the one that doeth all things for
the best saw fit to call it home, and
how much better that God should
call him out Of this sinful world to a
happy land, where temptations never
enter. To those hearts. sorely be-
reayed we would say, as to any other
home where such sadness has come
or shall come later, Rebel not against
Gods will, for He has power to give
and to take away, and all things
work together for good to those that
love the Lord. The remains were

CAN FRUIT If YOU CAN.
A Good Way to Save Money and to
Make 1t.

Oakway, May 2S.-Editors Keo-
wee Courier: AS the time for can
ming fruits and vegetables is nearly
here | want to say word or two to
the people of Oconee county. You
can, with very small capital, put
up enough fruit and vegetables to do
you all the winter, and what is bet
ter than to have nice fresh beans,
fruits, and all kinds Of berries?
This can be accomplished at very
small cost. Let us count up the cost
on 500 3-pound Cor quartz cans:
Cans and caps, $12.50; Gamer, to be
used on stove, So; six bushels of to-
matoes, $2.40; (that is, If you buy
them at 40 cents per bushel, and If
you raise them 81 will cover ex-
pound cans, which would cost you
$5.10, where you bought the toma-
toes. Now, at 81 for your days
work and 25 cents for wood you
would have $685., and If you wanted
to sell you could get $10.8O for them
"A profit or saving of $4.45 in one
day.
Beans will make twenty cans to
the bushel, so your profit on beans
will be as good as that on tomatoes.
Sweet potatoes are. nice canned.
Where parties have not got a po-
tato house it will pay well to can
|potatoes-about sixteen cans to the
bushel. That would pay much bet
ter than feeding them to hogs or
letting them rot in the banks.
Did you ever think what loss the
people of this county sustain every
year in letting their fruit and vege-
tables waste or rot in the field, when
hu
ment they could save thousands of
dollars? l don't mean for every
body to go in the canning business
for the market, but for their own
use; and Of course a lot of people
will not can, and you can dispose of
some Of your goods at nice profit.
Above all things, put up good
quality and measure, and our mer-
chants will exchange cloth or -four
or anything we want for them. Our
merchants will order $50 to 500
dozen from Baltimore or New York
at 90 cents per dozen, t. 0. b. cars,
and send a check up in the hundreds
of dollars, and II we order a cheap
suit Of clothes from the Baltimore
Bargain House they say we ought not
send our money off, but spend it at
home. So let's stop them from send
ing North for canned fruits, berries
and vegetables.
Last year two or three car loads
of tin cans were shipped to Westmin-
ster and disposed Of, and have been
reliably informed that four cars have
been bought for this year and will
be shipped soon. Let everybody get
in shape to can lot of fruit this
year. 1t will be great saving, and
money saved is money made.

MUSIC AS "A CURE.
Physician Claims that Suffering May
BE Overcome by Melody.

Julius Chambers,in Brooklyn Eagle)
Melody is prescribed by DR.. e. w.
Scripture, in the Medical Record, as
the final and only sure cure-"spe-
citic" would be the word were it a
drug-for hyperphonia.
Any number Of people who do not
know what "hyperphonia" is will be
glad to learn that a sure cure has
been found for another i'll to which
suffering humanity is heir.
The singing cure for suffering is
urged as an advance upon the time
honored device OF whistling when a
difficult word arose in a sufferers
vocal path.
One of the sweetest stories ! ever
listened to is that which Is partly
told and partly sung by the brilliant
man who led the singing at Piym-
outh church on the occasion of Jo-
seph Howard's funeral. He antici-
pated DR.. Scripture by at least one
decade.
a wonderful picture was exhibited
at the Paris Salon Of 1879, depicting
the attempt of a choir Of monks to
cure with music the famous Flemish
aTtlSl, f1uSn van OeT WeyQ. he naQ
gone mad, and the tradition was as
old as medicine itself that mental
troubles could be soothed by sweet
melody.
Whether suffering can be relieved
and ultimately cured by melody is
highly doubtful. Playing upon the
jew sharp might be efflcacious; but
the music of a stringed orchestra or
n pianola will not give relief. Slut
tering is both a nervous and mental
trouble. Aphasia has much to do
with it. Loss Of memory of the word
is quite as noticeable as fear that,
when recalled, the patient cannot
pronounce 1t. Whether the word be
monosyllabic or polysyllabic makes
little or no difference.
Suffering arises from lack Of self
confidence. Lisping is different
thing. 1t oftenest Is due to want Of
proper attention on the part Of the
physician who attends the child at
the time of birth. About one-quar-
ter OF all infants born are tongue
tied" and the physician or nurse
who doesn't attend to detaching or
cutting the underside Of the baby's
tongue from the lower jaw Is con-
niving at the production OF lisp
ing human creature

HENEY IMPROVING.
Ruef's Prosecutor Says He Will Make
Closing Address.

San Francisco, Nov. lT.--Francis j.
Heney's condition is steadily improving
and comfortable night almost carried
him out of danger, The bullet of the
assassin, Morris Haas, has been located
in the feshy part of the neck under the
left jaw, but as there is now little
chance of infection, the attending physi-
clans have decided not to operate until
the patient has recovered more strength
to Withstand the shock. The bullet was
not removed yesterday.
When Ben Haney, the prosecutors
brother, who has just arrived from Arr
IONA. was shown into the sickroom he
was greeted with an inquiring glance,
as though the victim would say, Well,
Ben, what's the situation.
He replied, They did not get you,
Frank. The trials going on"
Then I'll be there to make the clos
ing address," whispered the wounded
man.
The trial Of Ruef went on yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock, with Hiram John
son. Matt l. Sullivan and J. J. Dyer in
charge Of the peoples cause. Ruef was
brought in from the county jail in the
steel-lined van which is used in danger
Gus situations, surrounded by deputy
sheriifs. This is the first time he has
ever ridden in this vehicle, always hith-
erto having made his trip in his auto
