blaze which would have made a ser-

covered at once. She was not aware
of the conditions and had passed into
another room but on returning she
found suffocating smoke in the pas-
sage way and that fire had already

PASSED SERVICE
PENSION BILL.
Senator Roberts of Montgomery Waa
the Une Whe Voted Agalast it. |
Athens—The Penusylvania Senate |
passed the service pension bill intro- |
duced by Senator Cochrane of Ly-
coming giving pensions of from $5 to]
$10 a month according to their length
of service Monday by a vole of 42 to!
1. Senator Roberts of Montgomery ;
county was the only one who voted
against it. This bill if it passes the
house and is approved by the govern-
or will become operative January 1st
1908, and applies only to soldiers of
the civil war who enlisted from Penn-
syivania in Pennsylvania regiments
and are now residents of the state, It
will be a much needed relief to many
of the civil war vaterans who now are
on the verge of starvation. The gen-
eral pension law contemplated a more
liberal provision for the disabled vetl-
eran than he has ever Leen able to
receive, on account of its provisions
being hedged about with rulings and
interpretaiton that it make it inopera-
tive in the most necessary cases.
Many of these comrades who served
al the post of duty were not Inclin-
ed to go to the hospital every time
they got wounded or suffered with
sickness and as a consequence they
have no hospital record gn which to
basé¢ their claim of disability, They
came home und engaged in the active
struggle for a living and did not ask
for pensions until they were complete-
Ivy broken down In health and when
they applied for pensions they could
not prove up thelr claim on account
of the death of witnesses who knew
of their disabllities. “The government
designed to provide a liberal pension
for them but the laws are so bamper- |
ed with “rulings” and restrictions |
that they can get no relief. They are |
struggling on with a precarious exist-
ence trying to live on the pittance al-
lowed them and it is a hard tussel
for them. It is a grand thigg for the
noble old commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania to come to the rescue and we
hope that the House will speedily ap-
prove of the bill and that Governor
Stuart will sign it at once. Every
veteran will thank them if they do
