Doli't fail to fall in at the reunion of the 15th Illinois May 26 and 27. Governor Hovey, of Indiana, declines to be a candidate for the position of Com­ mander-in-chief of the G. A. K. President Ben Harrison is expected to attend memorial exercises at New York City, May 30. The tenth annual meeting of the Com- mandery-in-chief, Sons of Veterans, U. S. A., will be held at Minneapolis, Minn., commencing August 24,1891. The Supreme Court of Michigan has de­ cided that the act of the Legislature passed Feb. 5,1864, applies only to per­ sons who enlisted under the 200,000 call of Feb. 1,1864. Leland J. Webb, Commander-in-chief Sons of Veterans in General Order No. 4, give& approval to the court-martial pro­ ceedings against Walter S, Payne and dishonorably discharges him from the ordef. Henry Dobson W. R. C., Fremont, Mich., has a member, Martha Miner, who was 93, March 17, 1891. Her husband served in the Mexican War, and also with five sons served in the war of 1861-5, the six aggregating a service of nearly seven­ teen years. Memorial Day being close at hand re­ minds us that since the last occasion for its observance, several comrades who re­ sided in MeHenry county have answered their last roll call. Our ranjes are gradu­ ally but surely thinning out, and ere many years have passed the Sons and Daughters of Veterans will have to deck with the flowers of May the graves of the heroes of '61 to '65. "A movement to provide for Gen. N. P. Banks in his old age las taken definite shape in Massachusetts. Old age has come upon the General and his wife, with only a pension of f1,200 a year and an encumbered homestead. All the Republi­ can members of the Massachusetts dele­ gation in Bongress, and Messrs, Andrew and 0'Neil, Democratic members of Con­ gress, hare united in an appeal for sub­ scriptions to the fund. It is proposed to collect as large a sum as possible, and to invest it in interest-paying securities, the income to of the fund to be paid to Gen. and Mrs. Banks." DM 15th Illinois Reunion. The reunion of the 15th Illinois In­ fantry volunteers which occurs Tuesday and Wednesday, May 26 and 27, at Woodstock will no doubt be largely attended as it should be. Those having charge of the arrangements are dilligent- ly at work and will continue to be so in order to insure success in making this the largest and most enjoyable meeting the survivors of that gallant old regi­ ment have had since they held their first. The programme printed and in circula­ tion in pamphlet form tells just what may be expected to be crrried out to the letter, on account of the prominence and respectability of those most interested and who are managing the arrange­ ments. Comrades from a gnSat distance have signified their intentions of being present and everything now indicates such a. re­ union as will be remembered by those who attend for years to come as the best ever held by one of the first regiments that entered the service from Illinois and which performed heroic and laborious service to the close of the war. Pensions. General Cyrus H. Bussey, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, haa been in New York for a day or two. His branch of Interior Department labor involves the passing of pension claims, of which about 1,50 per day are now being allowed. Gen. Bussey told me some things about pensions which I repeat: "The impres­ sion that we are always to pay out as much for pensions as we did last year or will this year is quite erroneous. The first payments under the new law count up and take a large amount of money-- $30,000,000 last year for first payments alone. But we are pretty well over that now. The payments will aggregate f 10, 000,000 less this year than we had calcu­ lated. Last year the average of first payments was ?475 per pensioner. This year it is only $ 125, so that we can grant four cases where we granted one last year without materially increasing the total of the first payments. When the first payments have all been made the amount to be paid annually will be much reduced from the payments last year." --New York Press. Pension Decisions Assistant Secretary Bussy fcaa tevwgefl tile decision of the Commissioner of Pen­ sions on the appeal of Jane M. Smalley, now Greenhorn, widow of Richard T. Smalley, Co. F, 60th 111. The record of the case shows that the soldier was accidentally wounded by the Lieutenant of his company in 1863, and died in Jan­ uary, 1863, of abscess' of the lungs, which, according to the medical testi­ mony, resulted as a sequence of the wound. The Commissioner of Pensions rejected the claim on the ground that the soldier was not in the line of duty at the time he received the wound; but the Assistant Secretary in his opinion holds that, in the abscence of proof to the con­ trary, it must be assumed that he was in the performance of his duty, as it was customary for soldiers during the war to be on short expeditions. This decision is in harmony with the line of precedents of the Department. Work of ths Pension Oflloe. During the week onding May 9, 1891, 5,691 claims were received, of which 167 were original invalid; 168 widows; 0 war of 1812; 6 bounty land; 41 navy; 46 old war; 0 on account of Mexican service, 117 accrued pension and 1,939 applications for increase.
