A Nlclilo Complaint.
Special Dispatch to TUB Un.
PHILADELPHIA , January 11. In
reference to thu "complaints ) of San
Francisco parties of the delay in hav
ing their ordoia for nickela filled by
the Philadelphia mint , director of the
mint S.iowdcn , aaid to-day that the
orders were being tilled as rapidly aa
posaiblo. Ho said there was a great
demand for nickoln from all parts of
the country mid tlut the orders were
tilled iu rotation an received. The
principal cause of the delay , however ,
in filling ordera from the far west , waa
the fact that the government hca no
contract with the express companies
for the shipment of coin farther west
than Omaha , but efforts are now being
made for the formation of a contract
for such shipment. The director says
that upon receiving an order from
San Francisco correspondence is at
once begun with the applicant to
ascertain whether or not ho is willing
to have the coin sent by registered
mall at his own risk as tin mint has no
authority to send it at the govern
ment's risk. Thia correspondence , of
course , consumes time and causes some
delay to thoae in need of the coin.
Mr. Snovrdon siya that several largo
orders have been sent to San Frana
cisco within the past ten days by a
registered mail package at the con
signees risk.

LINCOLN , January 11. The entire
morning was occupied by the reading
of bills. To give their tltloa only

apace will not permit of more. None
of them are BO Important at this time
as to justify description at length.
Upon the fhor was a lady , Mrs. E.
P. W , Packard , whoso history is not
only ono of thu most remarkable , but
it reveals a danger to which married
women are exposed in this acylum of
liberty. Her story ia fully corrobo
rated and shows thoatrocitlea to which
the sex may bo subjected without
cause and without remedy. In 18CO
Mrs. Packard was the wife of n Pres
byterian ; mimV.or and the mother of
six children. Her religious views ex
perienced a change which brought her
nearer in belief and sympathy to the
Methodists than to the denomination
of which her husband was a member.
They were then living in Mantouo ,
III. , and It appeared to the husband
to bo a great detriment to his success
that bin wife should renounce the
hurah dogmas of Calviuiem , and es-
pouao a more liberal creed , Finding
argument of no avail , ho formed the
infamous plan of immuring the wife
of his bosom and the mother of his
children , in n lunatic asylum. The
lavr in Illinois favored his Infernal
Bchemo , for it gave the husband this
power over his wife without challenge
from any quarter BB to the justice of
his course. No examination was re
quired , no certificate ot' insanity the
liusband directed it and that was
enough to remove a woman from all
the endearments of homo and the at-
tractions of social lifa and consign
her to a living tomb from which no
living power conld release her save
the power that had doomed her or the
merciful hand of death.
In carrying out his bigoted , merci
less 1 , fiendish purpeso , Mrs. P. wa
kidnapped , taken to the insane asylum
at Jacksonville , Ills. , and kept there
for three years , with no access to the
outside world.
At the end of this period the poor
prisoner of religious fanaticism secured -
cured material , scrawled a cote and
thrust it through the npper and lower
sash of her window as some ono was
passing by. It was a prayer that the
pjrty would make known the fact that
aho was oano , yet confined , and calling
for dolivoranco. The paper fell into
the right hands , and when it was found
that the law was helpless , the pcoplo
en , masse threatened the destruction of
the odifica , and the clerical despot was
called upon to remove hia wife as a
measure ot safety and to avoid a riot.
The result was not only the liberation
of Mrs. Packard , bat at a later period
148 ether women , falsely charged with
insanity.
After trying again to conliao his
wife , Packard fled , taking property
aud children. The wife tried to secure
what she supposed were her rights ,
but found she had none ; that by com1
mon law she was a nonentity ; that
in a legal point of view she had less
independence and fewer rights than a
single woman , and that before she
could stand a show in the courts she
must secure a divorce and become
a single woman. This she did
not favor , as she did not
believe in divorce , but for ono ground
given in the Now Testament , aud had
devoted herself to the work of seeking
the correction of the statute laws in
regard to the married woman in Bar-
oral states. In sixteen years she has
secured the passage of nineteen bills ,
all contributing to establish woman's
Identity and protecting inmates of in-
B no asylums. She has nothing to do
with any ether schemes , such as
woman's suffrage , but is canvassing the
legislature so as to secure the passage
of a bill giving to the inmates of our
asylum the privilcgo of correspon
dence , fron from the censorship of thn
superintendent , a privilege inmates of
that institution do not at present en
joy. After agitating this matter in
the several state legislatures , she pro
poses to go to congress and have the
identity of married women declared
throughout the republic.

ARCHITECTURE IK THE MKTUOPOLIH.
This subject leads mo to observe
that j a now era seems to have dawned
in i Now York architecture. The ago
of iron la past dud the ngo of brick
and stone ia horo. There woa n time ,
when A. T. Stewart built his enor
mous store , when every ono thought
that t metal was to bo the building ma
terial t of the future. It waa reasonably
cheap , it waa rapidly put up , it was
easily ornamented and it waa thought
to t bo durable and fire-proof. But the
balance 1 of sere experience haa proved
it i to bo lacking in the laat two ro-
apectn. It gives place now to its older
brothers 1 of the clay pit and quarry.
Going < through this city ono can road
Its I history and mark its growth in
styles ' of architecture. Down by the
battery 1 and in the oldoat down town
streets bricks prevails. The region of
old brick extends up almost to Union
Square. It comprises nome notable
buildings 1 , such aa the hugo Now York
hotel 1 and that row of brick housed
trimmed t with white marble on
Washington Square , that were
built 1 half a century ago , and
yet j they are good aa now.
At Fourtooth street and at intervals
below 1 the brownatono ape set in.
Fifth avenue and the fashionable
streets on each side were built there
of. Among largo buildings of brownstone -
stone arose the Cooper Union and the
Metropolitan hotel. Mnrblo was alao
used , as in the Grand Central hotol.
Thia ago lasted until the close of the
war , when iron was introduced. In
the central basinees portion of the
city , just below Canal street ,
whole blocks of imposing iron t
structures wont up. Then i
the great Chicago iiro showed I
the wordlessness of iron in such an
emergency and ita use was chocked.
Granite was called to a front rank , In
such monumental structures aa the
postoilico , the Equitable building , the
Masonic temple and others. Hut very
soon brick was chosen as the only ma
terial that had stood against the fur
nace breath in Chicago , and since Dion
brick , trimmed with granite or Band-
atone , has become tbo most popular
materials for all kinds of buildings ,
lirlck bids fair long to hold its place
in the public esteem.

THE PENSION CHIEF.
How Work is Done in tlio Ofllco
One Thousand Exatninore.
l'lnrlnii.ill Cowmen la' .
Commissioner of Pensions Djdley
has been compelled to hobble nround
upon his crutcbea for A few days , but
has not been confined lo his homo f.a
reported , lie hits boon at his desk
every dny irom 80 ; ! ! in the morning
until nearly nearly 5 in the afternoon ,
constantly engaged with his duties.
At loBRt 1,000 perilous uro employed
in the otlico us examiners , their duties
being . to examine the papers in each
case assigned them ; properly brief it ;
call on the chinm it for all evidence
necessary to complete the caco , and
when all proofs are send in to It the
"board of review , " which consists of
thirty-five men who usually return
thirty five cases dally to thu examiners
for further evidence. The business of
the review board is to treat cases ju
diciously upon the papsrs submitted.
After a decision is made , upon law
and facts , each case passes to the
medical roferco for his decision upon
medical questions involved , when it
returns to the review board for final
adjudication.
An average of 210 claims roach final
action daily , out of which at least ton
are rejected.
A very important addition to the
lltenUuio of the oflico has recently
boon made. It la a Troatlso on the
Practice of the Pension Bureau , pre
pared and published , at the request
of Commissioner Dudley , by Judge
0. B. Walker , department commis
sioner. It Is the "Unwritten Practice
Formulated , " giving In n concise , com
prehensive form dtlinlto instructions
as to every step of procedure in all
classes i f pension claims. It phcos
on every employe's desk a guide ,
which in a veritable "lump unto his
feet , " burning with no uncertain licht ,
because It draws its sustenance from
laws and tested regulations. It re
ceives the hearty endorsement of the
couimiealonor and of Dr. T. B , Hood ,
medical referee , and C.MI not fail to
manifest itself in a largo increase in
the amount of work done , as much
valuable time heretofore npmit in in-
structing mnployop , and in searching
for law , regulations and precedents ,
will bo saved by this ready reference.
Judge Walker formerly resided at
Richmond , Ind. , whuru ho waa engaged -
gaged in the practice of law.
Some much needed reforms have
been mudo by Colonel Dudley. Clerks
are no longer permitted to indulge lu
dolce far nionte over a fragrant cigar ;
nor , for that matter , are thonu occupy
ing higher positions. Neither the
commissioner nor his immediate assis
tants belong to that class of t ( Hernia
which aofiii to believe that lawn and
regulations wcro only made with di
mensions sufliclent to cover those less
fortunate than themselves.
The rule , "No smoking allowed in
this department , " Is rigidly enforced ,
as well as that forbidding all inter
views with employes during cftioo
hears , "except to immediate members
of the f amity. " The comrade who
desires to plan a lark , or arrange for
the next base ball club meeting , with a
pension bureau clerk , has to bide his
time with what patience ho can until
after office hours. The most obstlnato
objector to restrictions can not fail to
see the propriety and abundant good
results from enforcement of atlontion
to business.
Ollioial rod tape must have given
out before the pension otlico requisi
tion was filed , Maybe Mr. Bentley
overdrew aud used his own and his
Bucccssor's allowance. At all events ,
Commissioner Dudley and his eflioiont
deputies , Major Clark aud Judge 0 ,
B. Walker , are always accessible dur
ing oflico hours , and the poorest ,
most woathorboutou , storm tossed per
son receives from otoH of these ofli-
cera the same prompt , considerate
attention accorded to those of position
and prominence.
SomotiincH thia ollico reminds ono
of the waiting room at receiving hos
pital , there are so many tllltoted ,
anxious persons , "waltldg their tarn ; "
men with pale , disease-marked faces ,
men with u leg gene , or maybe an
arm , perhaps with great ualy scars ,
disfiguring them , making them look
almost as badly as did ono of the
handsomest , bravest men who wont
to the war from Vermont ,
when ho came homo on furlough with
his nose shot entirely away ; when , a
few months later , that bravo young
lifo wont out on the battlefield , these
who waited at homo know ho had
recklessly thrown away his chance to
live , because ho could not face the
world hideously disfigured Often
widows cpmo , with anxious faces and
with timid , frightened ways , which
are soon forgotten in the kindly I pres
ence of thoeo listening oo their story.
No doubt there are numerous per
sons claiming pensions without any
riant or reason , making the utmbst
caution in paaslng upon claims a atcrn
necessity ; probably , despite the extreme -
tremo caution oiorclsed , a good many
go upon the rollu who have no right
there ; and eomo just and honest
claims are rejected. Commissioner
Dudley's deniro Is to administer his
oflico with oven and exact justice , but
some abuses and some hardships will
creep in despite him.

loy stated to day that ho had bojjun
work on the preparation of this list.
Over .100,000 names are to bo com
piled. Mr. Dudley thinks that by
hard work ho can have the Hat pro
p.iicd bolero the adjournment of the
present C'lngrrpn , yet ho uxprctnua
soniu doubt ub ut ita ompluiion in
the time epiciliccl. As thu period '
unco thn wnr lucre i oa there lu rather
u rt'inaiknblu gain in thu number of
applications for pensions. Of latothcy
huvo averaged about $2,500 per
Month. Many < -t them are brought
by persons of old ago , who are discov-
oriog that they nro

contracted during their term of ser
vice. Common cpmplalnta are rheu
matism and malaaia.
,
Thu coinmiialoner aays fraudulent
cases are not aa common u formerly ,
lie came uoroas ono , however , few
dy ago. A PonnsylrauUn wanted
a pension , claiming rheumatism MJ liia
disability. Ho stated that a neighbor
to him was gutting a pension bi > cnuso
of having that disease. Investigation
proved that the neighbor had been se
verely wounded In n battle. Another
man , also from Pennsylvania , wanted
a pension seemingly on gonor.il prin
ciples. A general under whom this
BAino man served stated that the
seeker for a pension had never gone
forward In an engagement. Always ,
by seine moans , ho cmld find out
when n battlu wna contemplated , and
would manage to hnvo something to
do in thu roar. This ao-c.illod soldier ,
after pay dny , also managed to got by
gambling all the money that his com
rades received.
