The attorney wen- eral ded that the board is correct in is construction of tho law.

Municipal Matters That Have Important Future Bearings on Politicians, WHY HE WOULD HAVE USED HIS VETO. Mayor Macrs to Defeat An Nalari Sald to Have Been Prepared Attempt to Cat 1 of the City Ofeials, pwn Tt is stated that the ordinance” which was voted down at the council weoting Wednes- day night refating to ihe salaries of the city offcials has been killed beyoud all hove of resuscitation, and that it will never come up again, at least under the present administration, Mayor Macrae, it has been learned since tho meeting, sat still during the discussion with bis little veto in his hand, ready to slap it on the ordinance the moment 1t showed up for bis signatuce, but as it was knocked out in the Hrst round with the coun- cil, it noeded uo furtner attention from him, The face that it would have been vetoed if assed, and the other fact that a number of votes lurge enough o pass it over a veto could not_on sny possivility huve been se- cured, have proved beyond a doubt that any further talk of making the intended changes was out of the question. Oue reason for the unwillingness of the mayor and a majority of the aldermen to pass such an ordinance was, as hus already beei: stated, the uncsrtaiuty that it would really increase the marshal’s ary instead of diminishing it. City Attorney Stewart dreyw up the ordinapce after the pattern of one which had been passed upon and sus- tained by the supremo court us legal, and it s supposed thav 1t would fill the bill. It is now learned that at Des Moines, where the case in_ which the ordi- nance was investizated, there s no superior court, and consequently the question whetber or not the marshal coald 20 on drawing the fees for bis work in that court iy uot touched upon. As the feos coming from the court are the principal source of reve ue to the marshal’s office, it is very uncertain whether theordinance would be ‘as unqualijed a s those who favored it nad imagined. Itis sug gestea by some that tho mayor's anxiely to velo the ordinance ~had a business as well as a patriotic side. It is a well kaown fact that Mayor Macrae wili bo a candidate for re-election on _either the democratic or citizens' ticket. As the ordinanco which was betore the council would have made a reduction in the salary of tho ofiice he hopes to hold a yeac from now, the reduction to take effect next March, when e nopes to deliver his second augural address, some far signted persons think they soe in this an ample reason why he shouid be ready ana willing to make use of his veto power.

A Warning Aguinst Diphtheria, One or two more cases of diphtheria have been reported, out the sirictest care is being exercised on the part of tho city ofti:als to prevent an epidemic, with very good prospects of success. One of the hardest things to contend against ie the unwillingness of the paront: of chil- aren who are suffering frow the disease to have their houses placarded us required by law, “}ost of the trouble we have,” said Mar- shal Templeton yesterday, ‘‘comes from those who are gonerally coasidered the best peoplo in the city. They ask their physi- claus as a personal favor uot to report the cases. Occasionally they succeed in in- ducing the physician io call the discase by some other name, but not often. Then when I go to tack up the yellow card they ask me to put it on the sid3 door or the back door, or 1n the front hall, or any place where peoplo won'tsee it and stay away. Just a httle white ago a lady asked me to wa until the next day, us she was going to have aparty that night and she didn’t want tho people to have to look atthat ugly card when they came. Thoy never seem to think that the only on we put up the cards is 50 a5 to put people on their guard and so pre- vent the disease {rom spreading.

The hall wus compietely filled witn the members and the spectators, a large number of whom had been led by curiosity to come in and see bow the new thing workoed. Ouly one booth was used, and inside of it the thrée judges sat 1n state receiving the voters as they came in to drop the long white siips of paper on which wera printed the names of the candidates for tha various offices, into the ballot vox. The total number of votes cast was 149, and oithough everybody was naturally somewhat green about tno busi- fiess the election did not tuko so long as had been expected. ‘Tho following officors were chosen for the ensuing year: President, J.

The olice were notified of the absence of ir. Hannon, and from them tho affair got into the nowspapers.

She has known what it is to expect one or two men waiting at the church door every Sun- day evening with the question whether or not he may go home with her. She has determined to rid herself of both, and probably has. She went to the cako walk in Lyceum hall Saturday night and during the evening both asked per- mission to escort her home. £he said yes to both. They both waited for her on the landing and when she came downstairs she smiled and took one of each young man’s arms. At first they hesitated “a little, buv then went down the last flight of steps ata jerky gait. At the foot of the stairs they both re- leased their arms and walked up Lisbon street, looking ugly at each other. She entertained them both with lively stories of the evening’s entertainment, Sach thought that the other would drop off at the head of the streot and he would go home with the pretty givl, but uo, they both went up Main st-cet,wish- ing in their inmost hearts that they were out of it. What a fool the other fellow was! Why didn’t he leave ? It the meantime thay went past corner aftor covner whira ouch though surely the other would sy zood” night, for had not the frirl suld he might go home with her. So on they went until the gate was veached, and with a pretty thought about the effects of the moon on dried leaves in the gutter she asked them both . They hoth said it was late and looked nervous, **Can’t you both come up and see me Thursday evening?” she asked. “Mamma would be pleased to meot you.” One said he had an engage- ment ut the store that night, and the other said he was going out of town Thursday. After u moment, during which thought it was time for the other to move on, the young lady said good- night and moved up the steps. No one annoyed her Sunday night when she cume out of prayer meeting. - An Aged Malde In novels the youths and maidens who pus their names into baskets of eggs,lin- ngs of hats, ana barrels of apples &lways meet and happily wed other young per- sons who never fail to find the inclosed messages.

Dean Stanley stated once that Buddha was canonized as St. Josaphet, and the statement caused much discussion in Prof. Max Muller related the story i paper on “The Migration of les,” in the Contemporary Review for July, 1870. A certain mouk, St, John of Damascus, he suys, was credited with a religious romance called “Life of Barlanm and Josuph.” It hus been most distinctly proved that the story was derived from the story of Buddha. Tho moral tone of the book made it very popular in the Middle Ages. It was translated into several European languages and event- ually the hero of the story was canon- ized.

PENSIONS—WIO ARE'ENTITLED, Soldiers —All soldiers of the United States who incurred disability of a permanent na- ture, whether wound, injurV or aisease. while in the service or iine of duty, are entitled to a peusion at rates varyiug from $4to §72 per month, accoraing to the nature and severity of the disability. ADDITIONAL. Soldiers who draw a pension for one or more disabilities, ana are at th same time suffering from other disubilities incurredsn the service and hue of duty, may obtain ad ditional pension therafor. INCREASE UNDER OLD LAW. Soldiers pensioned at less than $0 per month, and wholly disubled for the perform- ance of manual labor by reason of disability on account of which they are pensioned, are e titied to increaso of pension to that amount per month, and if the disability is such that they require the regular aid and attendance of another per- son, they may obtain pension at the rate o 72 per month, Any ponsioner under tho old law, whoso disability has increased since date of the issue of his last pension certiticate, may ob tain an increase of pension proportionate to the increase of his disability. ADDITIONAL NEW LAW. Soldiers pensioned at less than $12 per month for disability curred in the service, who are also suffering from otLer disability of any nature, not due to vicious habits, may obtain ndaitional pension under the new aw. Tnis pension commences from the date of tiling tha claim and cannot exceed $12 per month, The new law is of special ad- vantage to this class of pensioners, for tho reason that if they have a disavility other than that for which they are pensioned, they may obtain additional relief from date of fil- ing claim, and 1f, in the future, the disability for which they ' wero originally pensioned undorthe old aw 1ncreases to such un extent as to_entitle them to moro than $12 per month, they may surrender their pension under the new law and resume the pension under the old law at sucn incroasod rate as way be proportionate to the degree of dis- ability at that time, Pensioners at less than $12 por month, de- siring incre: se of pension, will find it to their advantage to apply under both the old aad new law, for the reason that any increaso up to §12 per month will date from the day the claim is filed in the pension bureau, whereas a claim for increase under the old law, will secure incroased pension duty from the date of examination, which, on account of tha work in the pension bureau being very much delayed,is usually some months alter the date of filing the claim. IN CASE OF NEW LAW PENSION Any invalid pensioner under the new law receiving iess than $12 per wonth may obtain an increaso of pension whenever the disabil- ity on account of which he is pensioned in creases in severity toa material extont, or he may procure additional pension up to §12 per montn on account of aay new or additional disability which he has incurred since his last modical examination or which is not n- cluded in bis present paasion certificate. NEW LAW. Any soldier of the United States who sorved ninety days or moye in the war of the rebellion, and was honorably discharged, may obtaiu pension under the uéw law if now suf feriug from any disability of a permanent na ture, not due to vicious’ habits, ‘This pen- sion will commence from’ date of filing the claim, and the rate of pop$fon is from $12 per month, according to the degreo of dis- ability for the performagge of manual labor, Title to the pension {3 sololy dependent upon a service of ninety'dags, an honorable discharge and the present’ existenco of a disability, physioal or mentul, not due to vicious habits,” which caysds a partial inabil- ity to perform inanual labpras a means of live- libood, equal to the degree of disability re- quired to entitlo a_penstoner under the old law to a pension of $ per month or more. it does not matter what the disability is, if not due to vicious habits, wliethor wound, injury or disease, nor is the time and place of the origin or {ncurrence of the same in any way material, Title to pension under this law is no way dependent upon the soldier's pecuniary eir cumstances, The fact that he is able to per- forw skilled or professional labor to such an extont as to enable him to earn u comfort- able support, or the fact that ho has an in come suflivieat for his support, bas no bear- ng upon bis title to pension under this law s, eb. San Francisco WIDOWS, The widows of soldicrs who died from uis ense, wound, or injury incurred in the United States servico are eatitled to $12 per month, and §1 additionul for each child vader tho age of 10 yoars, to date from the day of the soldier's death, excent in cases where the death ocourred prior to Maroh 10, 1586, when the rate is 88 per month up to said date and $12 per month thereaftor, W LAW. The widows of soldiers who served ninety days or more in the late war and were honor- ably discharged are entitied to pension under #2 additional for each child under the ago of 16 years; provided, that the widow was mar- riod to the soldier prior to June 27, 1500, aud is now dependent in who's or in part ou het own labor for her support. This pension commences from the date of filing the application therefor, and is payable whether the soldier's death \as o ansed by disoase or injury incurred in the United States service or not, Widows may obtain pension under the new law pending the settlement of thole claims to pension under. the old law without losing any rights which accrue to them under tho oid law. If a widow recoives a pension under the new law, aud afterwards ostablishes her right 10 a pension under the old law, she will receive pension for the who e period from the date of the soldier's death, less the pan- siou which has been paid to her in the mean- time under the new law; in other words, she will receive an additional # per month for the wholo of the period during which she drew pension under the new law, and in addi- tion thereto, pension from the date the sol- dier died to the date of the commencement of the now law pension, Whenever asoldier or sailor of the late war dies from causes originating in the serv- ice and line of duty, leaving no widow, his children un‘ter sixteen years of age are cn- titled to ail the pension fo which the widow would have been entitled were she living, up to tho dute tho younwast becomes 16 years of age. In caseof the remarriage of a sol- dier's widow the pension which ste has beca drawing or to which she would otherwise be entitied, is payable to the children under 16 years of ‘ago at the dute of her remarriage and continues uutil the younaest child reaches the age of 16 years. Children have the same rights under the new luw, no matter what the cause of the soldier's death, provided they have not sufii- cient income from sources other than their own labor for their comfortable support, ex- cept that the pnsion does not commence until the date of filing a claim therefor. PARENTS, The parents of soldiers who diod inthe service or afterward from disease or injury, orany cause originating in the service and lino of duty, may obtain ponsion at the rate of §12 por month. Provided, thut the soi- dier left no widow or child surviving bim, and that the parent is now wholly ¢ v part dependent upon his or nor own 1a bor for sup- port. The remarciago of the soldier's mother doos not bar ner from pension under thenow law, if her husband 1s for any reason una bl to support hor comfortably. The fact that the soldier or did notdid contribute to tho support of his parents dur- ing his lifotime, and the fact that the parents were or were not dependent upon the soldier at the timoe of nis aeatn, has no vear- ing upon their titlo to pension under the new uw. LAND WARRANT. Every soldier and sailor emplo ed in the sorvice of the United States for the period of fourteen days, or engaged in any battle in any war of the United States prior to March 3, 1855, are eutitled to bounty land warrant. for 160 u:res, provided they have uot recoived the same, or if they have reccived warrant for less number of ‘acres, then they are en- titled to a warrant for such number of acres as will make in the aggregate 160. In caseof the death of tho soldier or sailor without re- ceiving such bounty land warrant, the widow 1s entitled thereto if she is not married. If there be no widow, or if the widow has re- married and her husband is now living, title to the above bounty land warrant will vestin the childre 0 wore minors on the 3d day of March, ‘There aro thousands of ex-soldiers, widows of soidiers, chiidren of soldiers, and purents of soldiers who are entitled to pension under the provision of the prosent pension laws, which are more liberal and more generous than at any time heretofore. The claims of such will receive careful and ailigent atten- tion, and may be prosecuted to settlement with the least possibie delay by Tue BEE Bureau oF Craiys, Bee Building, Omaha, Neb. DEPENDENCE, tment has held that a widow child or parent is ‘‘dependent’’ within the meaning of the law, if obliged to labor 1n any manual capacity for the purpose of obtaining # living, or 1s not 1n receipt of an income of $400 or move per year from sources other than their own labor. The new law provides that the ponsion of children who are permanontly helpless shall continue during the period of such_helpless- ness, or the lifetimo of the child. This pro- vision extends to cases of children who are already on the pension roll undor either law. MEXICAN WAR. Survivors of the Mexican war who werc employed 1n the military or naval service of the United States for a period of sixty days, or were actuaily engaged 1n any oattie in said war, and honorably discharged, and who are now ovor the age of 6 years, or are subjoct to auy disubility for tho performance of man- ual labor are entitled to pension of §8 per month. Widows—The widows of survivors of the Mexican war are also_entitled to ponsion at the rate of & per month, provided that tney bave not remarried, and ave over the age of 62, or if under that age are suffering from any physical or montal disability, or depend- ent upon others for support. HOW TO APPLY FOI PENSIONS, Tue BEE AND EXAMINER BUREAU OF CLAIMS was originally organized for the special pur- pose of affording claimants vnder the Indian depredation act of March 8, 1801, the means of relicf from the exhorbitant charges of un- upulous agents and attorneys who had beon charging their clients from 3314 per cent to 50 per cent of the nmount of their claims, but so_many ex-soldiers and tho widows and orphans of soldiers offered their claims for prosecution that it became evident that the field of usefulness of the bureau was not confined to the interests of claimants on account of the depredations of Indiaus, and the scope and plans of the bureau have beon enlarged to moet tho constantly increasing demand for its services in behall of the sol- dier public. Tho burcau does nothing by halves, and o s0on as it was decided that the claims of sol- diors and their heirs must occupy a large share of its attention an effort was made 10 secure the services of an expert and thoroughly re- liable attorney to whom could be safely en- trusted the delicate and important interests of its soldier clients, and whose work would meet their expectation, In this the bureau has been eminently successful, having se- cured the services of Mr. Carroll D. Judson, iate special examiner of the pension bureau, who resigned his official position under tho government to tako charge of tho pension claim business of Tug Bre: BUREAU OF CLAIMS, Mr. Judson has spent nearly balf a life- time in prosecuting claims of ex-soldiers and heirs. He beigs to the clients of the Bureau the fruts of many years' experience in the prosecution of their claims, and a thorough knowledge of the practice and methods of the pension bureau gained through his official position therein, Whenever 1t is found that any person ask- ing for advico is justly entitled to pension or additional allowances from the government the proper papers will ba preparea free of ex tion and forwarded to him by retura mail, without charge. If the applicant then desires the services of the bureuu in the prosecution of his claim,he will executo the papers sent him according to 1structions, which will bo muiled there- with for nis guidance, after which he will return them to the the office of the buieau, and upon their arrival there the claim will be promptly filea in the proper department aud prosecuted to completion at the carliost practicavla date and with the utmost care and diligence, No charges will be made in any pension claim until the allowance of the same, and thon only the legal feo fixed by law, In claims for incroase of pension, the fee charged by this bureau is only 82, payablo only in _the event of theallowance of the claim. In other claims the amount usual varies according to the natureof the case and the law upon the subject. Whenever the statoment of facts presented foils to indicate the existonce of a just and valid claim, the applicant will be so advised, ue Brg BUREAU OF CLAINS has for its ob- ject the securing of “justice to vetorans’ and their heirs aad will undertake no claims that are manifestly without merit or il legl, If anyoue to whom this circular comes wishes copy of the samo for the information of any comrade, neighbor, friend, or any numberof them, the same will be cher fully mailed to each person whose name and post oftice address he sends to Tue Bee Bukeat Crains for that purpose. Thousands of deserying, and in many in stances, needy ex-soldiors, veterans of many fierce battles, and the widows and orphans of such, have ofteu felt themselves justly en titled to ronef and assistance at tha hands of the government which they so nobly fought for in the hour of peril, yet have not applied for pension or other allowances due them for the simple reason that they were not familiar [ with the “'rad tape’ roquirements of the gov- ernment, and were not personally acquainted with an attorney ur an agont in Washington or olsewhore, who was in possession of the tochnical knowledge nocessary to enable him to transact the business proporly, and were unwilling to catrust & matter so delicate and important to auy of the thousnnds ofage nts and sttorneys whose pretentious circulars they were recelving constantly: while many others equally deserving and to whom a pon sion would ba at least a partial relief from the burden of arduous dajly manual labor, ver- formea under the aifficulty and pain incident to disoase and advancing age, have failed to apply for the pension which is justly due them, because thoy were not aware of their vights and paivileges under the pension laws. It is forthe benefit and aid of the above classes in particular, as woll as for the assist- ance of any and all ex-soldiers and theirneirs, that Tie Bee Bureav or Craivs has adved to its business the prosecution of pension claim: The attention of all ex-soldiel widows, children and parents of soldiers is invited to the article entitled **Pensions Who are entitled,” which they are requested to read and_consider carofully.

It is in every way comparable with some of the great lakes in America: for, while its area is only 9,000 square miles, mak- ing it much smalier than the three largest of the five great lakes and about the exact equal to Lake Erie in super— ficial extent, its enormous denth, 4,000 10 5,000 feet, makes the total volume of its waters about equal to those of Lake Superior. 1Its level is 1,350 feet above that of the Pacific ocean, but, notwith- standing, its bottom is more than 3,000 feet below it. There are many other deep lak in the world, but so far Baikal takes the palm. TLake Maggoire is 8,000 feet deep, Lake Como 2,000 and Lego-di-Garda, another Italian lake, nearly 1,900 feet in depth.

An Ingenious Comes Forward With a System for Identification, The Latest from the brain of the inge- nious Yankee is even more practical than novel, says the Boston Globe. Day after day it is to be read in the papers that some unfortunate has gone into a grave maiked ‘“‘unknown,” or perhaps some most prominent and respected cit- izen has disuppeared from sight and gone—nobody knows where, tho last possibly the sequel of the first. Then, again, after weeks of anxiety and fruitless search some friend or relative is fre- quently found or dead in some hospital, Now comes the proverbial **Yank,” und with a plan toalleviate all this. He hus appeared with an invention, if such it may boe called, which he styles *a por- fect system for identification,” and, truly, if it were to be gencrally adopted, it could but empty the morgue and place the “‘unknown grave” on the page of history only asa thing of the past. Here is what the vriginator of the plan has to say: “*Fate and chance are two uncontroll- abie factors in every man’s life, Struggle as ho may, be prudent as he can, the unknown events of the future bear down upon him with resistless force, and in a second be may be swept away to a violent death or meet with sovious injury. in this rapid age, bristling with v.fm dangers of rapid transit, electric currents, lofty build- ings, fast sea voyages, and the thousand and one complications of civilization, how necossary to exercise the utmost l)ru(’.un Invention after invention has been put out and eagerly sought by the public for protection until it would seem that there could be no improve- ment; yet the most important of all has been overlookued, and that 1s a system of identification, ?
