YOUNG WIDOWS
TO Get A SHARE
Pension Law About to Be
Amended to Include Those
Welded Since 1890.
MORE THAN $4,000 OF THEM
Must Show, However, That They Liv-
ed With Soldier Husbands at
Least Three Years.

Washington. Feb. 14.-YOung wild
ows are coming in for their share of
gEEeie- Sen9ss- rgeReqos&ssr- --iEsSstAexShsp
of pensions. The present pension law
grants annuities only to widows OF sol
diers of the civil war who were mar
ried before June p, 1890. AS is well
known many old soldiers took help
mates unto themselves under that date
and for the past 20 years congress has
been besieged in the interest of this
multitude There are now between
10000 and $4,000 of them, and the
pressure has come so strong that it
looks as if it would not be withstood
for a great while.
Both Committees Favorable.
Indeed, the senate committee on
pensions has decided TO meet today
for the purpose of taking up the ques-
ton. and 1t is considered probable a
favorable report will be made within a
comparatively short time The house
committee also has agreed to consider
the subject. and intimatiOns are that
the report of that committee will be
favorable. If the bill should become
law it would add from s2,OOO,O0O to
S4,0GO,OOO to the pension roll.
Bars Quick Divorces.
There is a provision in the bill re-
quirtng that, in order to become a ben
eficiary under its terms, any widow
must have lived with her soldier hus-
band at least three years. This re-
quirement is inserted to protect vet
erans from the wiles of women who
might seek to ally themselves in the
way Of becoming subjects of Uncle
Sans charitable ministrations. The
bill has the sanction of the Grand
Army.
