ALL PENSIONERS TO PAY.

Must Give Excess of $lO and sl2 a Month to Soldiers’ Home. Lafayette, Ind., May 11.—Before the trustees at the State Soldiers’ home adjourned last night, they adopted a rule in regard to the taking of pension money from members of the home. The trustees heretofore had sought to modify the order contained in the statute passed by the last legislature requiring all members of the home to contribute pairt of their pension money toward the maintenance of the institution. The trustee's exempted widows from giving up their pension money. The attorney-general, however, notified the board that this was illegal. From now on every unmarried member wlil pay all in excess of $lO a month to the home; married persons in excess of sl2 a month, and widows in excess of $lO. The board of trustees “received word that Commander-in-Chief, James Gilman, of the national G. A. R., would be a guest of the home next Monday. Commander Gilman will be met by a committee of veterans and will spend the day at the home. He will make an address at the assembly ha|l at noon, and will be entertained at dinner by Commandant Haggard. „ ,
