While the soldlera of the Civil War are rapidly passing' away, the decrease has had little appreciable effect upon the total number of pensioners upon the rolls. 1 The aggregate amount spent annual y by the Government la pensions , year after year. Surviving soldiers of the Civil War are dying at the rate of 32,000 annually, that being the average number dropped from the pension rolls in the case of Civil War surviv ors. During the past forur years 127,573 names of old soldiers and sailors have been etricken from the rolls by death. Yet the" ingenious pension legislation and the special acts of Congress have combined to make the number of persons drawing pensions now, 45 years after the Civil War, eight times as large as the year after the war ended. The records show that it is still growing. Fixed Limit 80 Years Ago. ; Thirty years ago James A. Gar field, of Ohio, declared on the floor of Congress that the high-water mark of the pension list had been reached, and from that time on the amount paid in pensions would gradually de crease until It had in a few years dis appear altogether. Since then the pension laws have been amplified to such an extent that the Garfield high-water murk has been topped ever and over again. The total number of peusionera in eluding survivors, widows, children and relatives hovers around the million mark, while the total amount paid in pensions during the fiscal year ending June 80, 1909, reached the tremendous sum of $161,973,703,- 77. This was the largest total for any single year in the history of the system. The lump sum allowed by Congress for. payment of -pensions during the fiscal year which closed last night was $160,000,000. This was based on an estimate; but with the passage of special acts and the operation of the age pension statute of 1907 the figures for the current year may Was Surprising Inflammation Re- ' duced in a Few Hours and Cure Soon Followed Boy's Torture had Been Intense for Years Friend's Child had Eczema, Too. HER TELLS HOW CUTICURA CURED BOTH "When my boy -was six years old, he suffered terribly with eczema. He could neither sit stul nor he uietly in bed, for the itching waa dreadful. He would irritate spots by scratching with his nails and that only made them worse. A doctor treated him and we tried almost everything, but the eczema seemed to spread. It started in a small place cn the lower extremities and spread for two years until it very nearly covered the back part of his leg to the knee. . "Finally I got Cuticura Soap, Cuti cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and gave them according to directions. I used them in the morning and that even ing, before I put my boy to bed, I used them again and the improvement even in those few hours was surprising, the Inflammation seemed to bo so much less. I used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, the same of the Pills and the Soap and my boy was cured. My son is now in his seventeenth year and he has never had a return of the eczema. " I took care of a friend's child that had eczema on its face and limbs and I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. They acted on the child just as they did on my son and it has never returned. 1 would recommend the Cuticura Reme dies to anyone. Mrs. A. J. Cochran, 1823 Columbia Ave.. Philadelphia, Pa..

Twenty years ago the total number of pensioners was 489,725. The last available pub lic figures are those for June 30, 1909 on which date there were 346,194 pensioners. These figures include soldiers of the Mexican,- Civil, Indi an, Spanish and other wars and their widows, minor children and others dependent on them, but nearly all are on account ol the Civil War. The records show that on June 30, 1909, the total number of pensioners was nearly twice as great as on June 80, 1889. The fl-cal year closing 'with tbe greatest number on the roll was that ended June 30, 1902, when there were 999,446 pensioners. This was not, however, the greatest numer ever on the roil. During tbe year 1903 there came a day when there were 999,998 pensioners just two less than 1,000, 000. The number of pensioners changes every day, new names be ing added and old ones stricken from the list on account of death and oth ericauses. 126,722 After the Wab Closed. On June 20, 1866 a year after tbe Civil War there were 126,722 pen sioners on the list, who were paid a little over $15,000,000. The number gradually increased until 1874, when it reached 236,241. Then it dropped a few thousand, but in 1870 the total advanced to 242,755, establishing a new high-water mark. From 1879 until 1898 the number rapidly in creased, the 300,000 rr ark being passed in 1883, the 400,000 mark in 1887, 500,000 in 1890, 600,000 in 1891, 800,000 In 1893, the 900,000 mark in 1903, when the new high-watermark of 966,012 was reached. This record was broken every year until June 30, 1908, when still another high-water mark of 993,714 was established. ' congress keeps pouring out MONEY. The high figures of the past few years . have been tbe result of add! tional legislation letting down tbe bars of tbe pension system for the ad mission of thousands who were not eligible under the former general pension laws. These original acts contemplated the payment of pensions only to those veterans wbau were dh abled in the service. Finally in 1890 the laws were so changed as to allow pensions to soldiers and sailors hon orably discharged after 90 days' ser vice whose disability was not due to their service. The next great change came with the issuance of the age pension order of President Roosevelt in 1902, which led to tbe law of 1907, under which any soldier over 62 years old who served 90 days and bad an honorable discharge may receive a pension. In the following year the Sulloway act was passed increasing the allowance to widows. The result was that the amount paid for pensions for the fls cai year iyuy was tne largest ever disbursed for pensions in one year $161,973,703.77, besides which there was paid $2,852583.79 for the main tenance of the By stem., ' THE WAY THE SYSTEM BEGAN. Civil War pensions started in with tbe act of July 4, 1864, by giving , pensions only lor disability incurred in tbe service. This act allowed $25 a month for the loss of both hands and $20 a month for the loss of both" feet. The act of June 1, 1872, raised three rates by allowing $31.25 month ly for both these classes of disability, In the act of June 17, 1878, the pen sion ior me loss oi Dotn nand9 or both feet was raised to $72 a month in isy tne toss or Dotn hands was put at $100; in 1903 the loss of both teet was made the same, and these are the sums now paid four times the original amounts. In 1866 a pension of $25 a month was grauted by law to veterans re quiring the aid of an attendant. In 1872 this was raised to $31.25 month, in 1875 to $50 a month and in 1878 to the present ;rate of $72 month. The various rates paid for other disabilities brought iinto the pension system have changed from time to time, being increased by sub sequent legislation. Tbe highest pension paid under general law: to day are $100 for loss of both hands or of both feet or lor total blind nes?. , a ftvery important change was made by the act of June 27, '1890, which provided that men honorably discharged and with disabilities, but "not!! incurred in the service, should be pensioned at not exceeding $12 a mouth, these rates running from $4 is almost the worst thin? for consumptives.

This was io effect a service pension act. Prior to this pensions were only paid for disability ncurred in service. ROOSEVELT THREW THE GATE OPEN. "Order 78," Issued by President Roosevelt on March 16, 1904, provid ed for a wholesale increase in the pension list. This was an executive order and was done, so it was con tended at the time, without au thority of law. It brought on the passage of the McCumber act of 1907, legalizing what the Roosevelt -order had done and going a step beyond. Order 78 provided that in the adjudi cation of claims for pension under the act of June 27, 1890, as amended by the act of May 9, 1900, it should be taken and considered as an evi dential fact, if tbe contrary did not appear, that when a claimant bad passed the age of 62 years he would be disabled one-half in ability to per form manuel labor, and, if all other legal requirements were properly met, would be entitled to be A ted at $6 a month; after 65 years at $8 a month; after 68 at 1 10 a month, and after 70 years t $12 a month. From April 13, 1904, the date this order took effect, until June 80, 1909 tho number of allowances under it were 108,921, of which 21,625 wen originals and 84,296 increases of pen sion'. There were under this ordei allowed 14,487 originals at $6 t month, 6,406 at $8; 1,766 at $10 and 2,966 at $12. The increase of pen sion made under this order were 18, 921 from $6 to $8, 3,748 from $6 to $10, 8,913 from $6 to $12, 10,225 from $s to $10, 11,409 com $3 to $12, and 27,080 from $10 to $12 a month. This executive order resulted In tbe passage, of the McCumber law ot February 6, 1907, which grants pen sions to those who served 90 days oi more In jtbe military or naval service of the United States during the Civil War, or 60 days in the Mexican Wat and were honorably discharged. Th it- law provides- that these men should be paid $12 a month when 62 years of age, $15 a month when!70 and $20 a month whea 16 years. Tbe Roosevelt order made the age of 62 years count as half disability. The McCamber act provided for a straight out, age service pension. 601,242 Filed Under New Act . From its- approval until June 30 1909 there were 601,242 applications for peusionor increase of pension filed uuuer mis act. some or tnese were duplicates of former ones filed and did not constitute iseparate claims During the year ended June 30, last claims under this law were adjudicat edas rapidly as they were completed, and on July 1, 1909, there were 8, 929 claims pending. The total num ber of pension certificates issued un der this kw until June 80, 1909,444, 411, of which 16,824 were ortglnal allowances ' to persons not already on the pension list. Sloe, by side with tbe survivors pension laws run those making al lowances to their widows, minor children and other dependents. PENSIONS FOR WIDOWS AND CHIL DREN. In 1882 a law was passed providing that tbe widow of any soldier who died of disability incurred In the ser . ... ........ vice snouia De entnea to tne same amount he would have been given if totally disabled commencing with im- date of bis death., .The amounts under this law varied according to time of death and other considers tloos, the average being about $8 month. Then came the so-called "Paupe Peasloa Act" of June 27, 1890, wi ich extended the provisions cf the Widows Pension law of 1882 to the wi-tow of any soldier who had serv ed 90 days regardless of the cause of bis death and and giving her $8 Aft- M m mm m .. monin u sne aid not possess more thin $250. This act required wid ows to show dependency, but remov ed the requirement that the death of the soldier should be Incident to Bet ice. 1 bat continued to be the law until April 10, 1908, when the Sulloway act 4raa approved by President Roose velt. This increased to $12 a month the pensions to widows, minor cbil dren and helpless minors. The limi tati ns as to $250 income were entire ly removed, but tbe act provided that the widow must have married tbe soldier prior to June 27, 1890. So far us widows' claims are concerned this superceded the act of 1890 and is the only widows' law to day. Offl cers' widows, as well as "officers, get a different rating, not exceeding $30 for the highest rank, this law running fro o fl2 to $30. TkMPlHf BrkM4.

A recent issue of an English news paper called the Central isews has tbe following story of one of tbe most gigantic schemes In the history of tbe cotton market: ' One of tbe greatest schemes ever yet contemplated in connection with the world's cotton operations has just been brought to a successful conclu sion in London. Tbe idea, in a word, Is to establish a huge chain of ware bouses on the cotton belt of the Unit ed States in which can be stored cot ton sufficient to supply the world's demands for 12 mouths or more and so to steady the market to a point where Hi stabii'ty is absolutely as sured. In this manner It will be possible to regulate tbe price of the raw article for approximately 18 months ahead and so spell the doom of any future 'corners' in cotton. "For the successful carrying out of these operations a company with a capital of 2,000,000 pounds has just been formed .in-: London, says Tbe Central News." flVwvlt can at once be said that the prbxt scheme, if the original plans carried out, is onl the preliminary to an enormous cor poration which will possess possibly capital equal to that of the United States Steel Trust. Behind the com pany at the English end is a syndl cate of leading London financiers. beaded by Mr. Leopold liirscb. while the American intetests are ir tbe hands of Mr. John Hays Ham mond, a great mining magnate, and the Guggenhelms. Mr. Dan Sully, famous the world over as the biggest corner speculator, who brought near ly one hundred millions pounds ster ling of English money to America in his cotton corner of 1905, is to be geneial manager of the allied inter ests, continues The Central News, and he sailed from Eugland yester: day after the successful completion of the negotiations. "The new company, which ia Inter national In character, will handle cotton in the sate way as oil has been b ana led by the Standard Oil Company, steel by the United States Steel Corporation, and copper by the Amalgamated Copper Company. A great national cotton back will .be formed which will be to cotton wbej tbe National City bank is to oil. Tbe farmers on the cotton belt will thus be able to send thtir cotton to the nearest storehouse and obtain a re ceipt which will be negotiable as I security In any bank. "In fffect, the new company wil: be a cotton trust which will endeav or to gain the friendship of the plan ter and spinner and treat for the raw material at a normal market price. This will mean tbe complete elimina tion of the cotton pits and the conse quent disastrous speculations in cot ton. In years where over produc tions take place tbe new company will sustain tbe price by restoring the surplus supply, iwhile in the lean years tbe reserves will be unloaded and the balance kept. 'As the United States furnishes 85 per cent, of the total world's produc tion of cotton, it may be readily Imagined, concludes The Central News, what incalculable advantages will be derived as a result of tbe formation of, tbe new corporation. particularly by the great English citton manufacturing centres."
