Reports from the pen f.ion agencies in repljr, to inquiries as to the operation cf the new law were to the 'effect that under it the pension ers are paid much more promptly; that the . possibility cf error is minimized, and that upon the whole it is much more satisfactory to the pensioners than; the former law. The agents also advire ihat the pensioners receive their pensions when remitted by mafl at their homes, where, being surrounded by .fa.mily .influences, the pensioner is much more likely to nia' a judicious disposition of -"his pension money. Un der the previous law many pensioners collected "their quarterly payments h person arid,' under the influence of bad associations, were often induced to ap ply these 'payments unwisely and de prive their families cf the beuefits thereof. : This executive order will so into ef fect Sept. 1 next, its execution having been postponed until that date in or der that no pensioner should suiter inconvenience in consequence of - delay ill AVJwlViii..
