C, March 15.— An interesting opinion the status of pensions was delilered by Justice Brewer. at liberty to give or withhold pen sions,” said the justice, “may pr upon “Congress being ascribe who shall receive aud deter- mine all the circumstances and con- ditions under which any application therefor shall be prosecuted. No man has a legal right to a pension! and no man has legal right to inter- fere. in the matter of obtaming pen sions for himself or others. in the domain of congressional pow- er.” This declaration was incidental to the court's opinion upon the appeal of Henry N. Frisbie, who was con- victed and sentenced to three zaonths’ imprisonment by the circuit court for the eastern district of Louisiana indictment charging that he demanded a greater sum than $10 for his prosecuting a pension claim in violation of the act of June 27, 1890, which places that limit upon the attorney's fee. The justice said: “It is within the undoubted power of government to restrain some individuals from all contracts, as well as all individuals from some contracts,” and referred to contracts for the purchase or sale of lottery tickets in that connection. After stating that a pension granted by the government is a matter of bounty; that no pensioner had a yested right to his pension; that congress had the right to give, with- hold, distribute or recall them, Jus- tice Brewer said: “Having power to legislate on this whole matter, to prescribe the conditions under which parties may assist in procuring pen- sions, it has the equal power to en- force by penal provisions compliance within its requirements. There can be no reasonable question of the constitutionality of this statute.” The conviction was sustained. under an Diseases unfriendly to women are positively andcures. Sold by HL Tucker. Sixty-One Dead. Evanston, Wyo, March 21.—The details of the explosion at the Rocky Mountain Coal and Iron company’s mine No. 5, at Red Canaon, at 5:45 last evening, mark it as one of the most horrible in the history of coal mining inthe West. There are for- ty-two men lying dead at the bottom of the mine at this writing, covered with debris. As many men as can are working to recover the bodies. The bodies of nineteen have been recovered. Fifty of the dead men were married and ninesingle. There are fifty widows and 250 orphaned children as a result of the disaster. About thirty of the men killed be- longed to the A. O, U. W., in which order they were insured for $2,000 apiece. The timbering is largely blown out and the walls and roof of the whole interior are wrecked and shat- tered so that the volunteer search- ing party of eighteen seeking the bodies of their comrades are every moment in danger of being buried. A corner's jury has been empaneled, which views the remains as brought out and turned over to relatives. The agonzing screams of widows and children about the mouth of the mine beggars description. The mules that were in the miue are so burned that they have to be remov- ed on account of the odor before the work can proceed.

Thomas Topman exhibited about H feet 10 inches in height and we the neighborhood of 200 pounds, was very strongly built. Topman: feats w feats of real strength, and he is the first performer that could bear comparison with those of the present day. Here are two of the best records of real strength recorded of him: He stood on a platform which had two parallel bars at a convenient height on his right and left, on which to place his hands. Below him on a lower platform were three barrels of water, we altogether about 1,836 pounds. being bound together, a c them passed through the platform on which Topman stood, and wasattached toa belt that passed over his neck and shoulders; he then lifted the whole by straightening his arms and legs. His other genuine record was lift by se th his hands a frame oa which rested a stone weighing 800 pounds. It is my candid opinion that there are men living at the present time of greater personal strength than any Milo, nson or Topman. We vill now place the following records against Topman’s lift of 1,836 pounds. In this country some twent ears ago sev athletes gave the ttention to de ing harness for lifting heavy weights, with the following results: Dr. 8. W. Winship llfted 2.600 pounds, John J. Lucas pounds, and William B. Curtis ent edjtor of the Spirit of the Tim 3,239 pounds—1,403 pounds more than Topman's. There is no doubt but that the apparatus of these athletes was superior to that used by Topman, but Donald Dinnie, the famous Scottish athlete, with apparatus inferior to Top- man’s, in that he had no supports for his arms, with mere straps, lifted 1,904 pounds. In 1884 Louis Cyr, a yc Canadian, standing under a plank,» legs slightly bent at the knees, back bent forward and his hands resting on a stool, pushed up with his back, arms and legs the’plank with pigiron -esting on it weighing 2,550°{ pounds, anda few years later the same athlete, using the same method, raised pounds. In hand lifting there is less room for rhing These improved apparatus, and here again the | modern strong men completely eclipsed Topman. Dr. Winship lifted 200 pounds, William B. Curtis 1,230, L. Lensing 1,354, David L. Dowd 1.44234 | pounds, and Jefferson, of Boston. lifted with his hands alone 1.5711; pounds, nearly double Topman’s best lift. There are generally from half a dee en toascore of athletes, each prociaim- ing himself the strongest man oncarth.
