Whnt 1b known ns tho Grand Army Dill In pension legislation, provides that pensions shall not be refused to widows whose Income does not exceed $250 n year. The limit hitherto has been $90 a year. Naturally a consid erable Increase In tho roll of pension era would take place at once. It Is to be noted, too, that pensions to widows last longest. There wns, for example, last June ono survivor of the war of 1812 on the pension rolls, but thcro nro 2,000 widows of veterans of that war still drawing pensions. The Spanish war and the wnr In tho Philippines are likely to furnish a goodly number of claims for pensions, the number now being estimated nt 25,000. With this increase and the extension of tho scope of legislation, It docs not appear Jlhat we have reached "bottom" In tho pension business. Hubert' Army Itendjr to Enter the Tranrvaal Capital.

There Is every reason to believe that the fire in thcCalumet fc liecla mine, at Calumet, Mich., is under control and that it cannot last much longer. All shafts except five on the Hecln branch have been sealed with clay at the mouth to prevent air circulating and fanning the fire. Very little gas Is escaping anywhere and the mine people believe the lire is dying out. The shafts will not be openencd until it is known that the fire is extinguished. Woman' I'm Cnugre.

Killed Outright. Joseph Kwalka was killed outright, two men were fatally hurt unit live others badly injured by the collapse of a traveling crane at the plant of tho Tottcn Hogg iron nnd steel founry company at Pittsburg, Pa. A Marietta, O., May 31, dispatch Kays: At Whipple, just east 'of this city, tonight, in shooting a well on tho Kellcy fnrm, there was a premature explosion of fifty quarts of glycerine. Four persons wore killed und four fatally nnd three seriously wounded. As everybody on the ground was cither killed or injured it is next to im possible to get a reliable description of the explosion. It occurred nt 5 o'clock thin evening. The well was being shot by the Humes Torpedo company, which had lowered fifty quarts of nltro-gly-cerlne into the drilling. When the "go-devil" was sent down It did not gooff ns expected, and then what is known as a "jack squib," com posed of heavy iron nnd dynamite, with a protected fuse, was dropped into the well. It was expected that when they enmo together there would bo the usual blast that would shoot the well, but it seems that the "jack squib" exploded first and the crowd rushed to see the shooting of the gusher, nnd when they arrived at the derrick the first charge that was put down went off with ter rlflo force, blowing the men in every direction. The remains of two of thoso who were killed instuntly had to bo picked up in pieces, nnd those who were. fatally injured are mangled in a horrible manner. All of the victims are residents of this county, well-to-do nnd prominent citizens. Every menns of relief, so far as nurses and physi cians and supplies are concerned have been furnished from this city and neighboring points. KRUGER AND CABINET AWAY Show No Apparent Ambition to Defend the Capitol. A London, Junel dispatch says: The messages from Pretoria confirm tho report of the departure of President Krugor with his cabinet nnd staff offi cials Tuesday night nnd the selection at a meeting of citizens of a committeo to administer the city provisionally. The present seat of the Boer gov ernment, according to n dispatch from Lorenzo Mnrqucz, dated yesterday, is Mlddlesburg, but it will probably bo shifted further east. The Boers lately confronting Lord Roberts appear to have gone eastward also, toward tho Lydenburg region. The defenders of Luing's nek, when their position be comes too perilous, will probably trek straight northward toward Lyden burg. Whoii this concentration takes place there will bo possibly 20,000 men, who may hold out for a time, with scnttered bands of guerrilas elsewhere. ARE NOT IN PRETORIA IlrltUh U Not Yet (Inlncd Aduitislon to lloer Capital. Lord Roberts continues silent regard ing Pretoi la, says a London Juno 2 dispatch, probably because he cannot wire of events from his own knowledge. Lorenzo Mnrqucz, where all the news from the Boer side is rehatidlcd, cables that communication with Pretoria is now suspended. Some messages by courier have reached Lorenzo Marquez, but none of latter dnte than Wednesday. These assort that the burghers nre in a state of panic and that Pretoria is being controlled by a vigilance committee. Lorenzo Mnrqucz again sends the re port that President Kruger has been captured. The lack of news gives rise to n sus picion that the citizens' committee nt Pretoria may not have been able to carry out their plans by securing the peaceful entry of Lord Roberts and sparing the city the horrors of a hlege. NEW HOME FOR THE BOERS Gigantic Colonization Scheme Planing In Colorado. A special from Denver says; Governor Thomas has given his indorsement to a gigantic proposition, having for its object the bringing of thu defeated Boers to the valley of the Platte in Colorado.

Wnntland, agent of the Union Pacific, has left for the east, where he will meet the Boer envoys and explain in detail the proposition. A Kitchen Secret. , Mamma was serving Jam pudding.
