Washington, Jan. 'JO. The officials of the pension office here are accustomed to receive claims for pensions which are stranger than fiction. They are at v ork on a claim made by Mrs. Sumeral Dennis, of Dadeville, Ala., which caused them no end of surprise. Sumeral Dennis, it appears on the official records, died in 1815 after serving in the American army during the war of 1S12. According to the records, he also died in 1847 at the close of the war with Mexico, in which he also did good service. Now comes his widow and declares that Sumeral

Dennis died only a few years ago, hav

ing lived to a ripe old age. Senator Johnston of Alabama has ta

lien much interest in the claim and is

pushing it before the senate committe

on claims with the hope of winning

the pension for the old lady, who lives

now in Dadeville, with her son, Per ry C. "Dennis, a prominent attorney.

If tha pension claim goes through

Mrs. Dennis will receive in the neigh borhood of !j;.?,0K), including the bad pension which is due her.

Sumeral Dennis has a death record

that few can beat. The officials here

are afraid that he may yet be discov ered alive.

Way back in 1812 he lived in South

Carolina.1 uunng the second war with Great Britain Mr. Dennis became

a member of Capt. Beattly's company

in the 1st Regiment of the South Caro

lina militia. lie served gallantly dur

Ing the war. But, according to the records on file here, he died his first death

in 1815.

But, in spite of the fact that he was officially dead, Mr. Dennis, who was still a young man, moved to Alabama where ho settled and lived prosperous

ly, until the Mexican war broke out,

His old spirit for war was still alive, and he organized a company of volun

teers himself and joined the army of

invasion. After this war he was officially re ported dead for the second time. How

ever, he lived to return to Alabama

and to marry Mrs. Eva P. Dennis some years later. It is Mrs. Dennis who is now seeking the pension. The old man was ninety-four years old when he died the third time. When the, officials here raise the criticism of the claim that Mr. Dennis died after the Mexican war, before Mrs. Dennis claims to have married him, Senator Johnston points to the fact that, according to the records, Dennis was dead in 1815, and yet the latter records show hlni to have served in the Mexican war. The senator argues therefore, that if the records as to his death were wrong in the first instance, they might be wrong in the second, and that Mr. Dennis' widow should know, if any one, when her husband died and if she married the shadow o? a man.

Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 21). Alex

ander McKenzie, twenty-eight, convicted in August, 1:;m;, of murder in the

first degree and now serving the fourth year of a life sentence in the state pen

itentiary at Stillwater, may be an innocent man.

The complete vindication of young

McKenzie rests upon the identification of "Dutch Henry," a cattle rustler and horse thief, who was shot and killed by Royal Northwestern mounted po

lice, sixty miles south of Moose Jaw,

Saskatchewan. "Dutch Henrv" is the

man for whose murder McKenzie was sentenced to spend his life in prison. The work of nnraveling the long skein of legal complications which resulted in landing McKenzie behind prison tars for life was commenced. It is expected that in a few days McKenzie will go free to join his aged

father and mother, who have worked untiringly for four years to prove his innocence. McKenzie's case is one of the strangest in the criminal annals of Minnesota. In 1902 he went, to southern Saskatchewan. A year later he crossed the border to Montana, where he met Henry Stewait, known throughout the borderland as "Dutch Henry." In April. 1901, the partially decomposed body of a man was found in Roseau county. It was identified as that of "Dutch Henry." Suspicion pointed to McKenzie. He protested his innocence and accompanied the officers back to Minnesota without requisition. There was no direct evidence against him. but the circumstantial evidence was strong and in August, 10O0, Mc

Kenzie was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.

PUBLIC DINNER IS HELD

The experience of the corps of telegraphers employed to operate the wire-

lss apparatus usd by the French in the recent campaign in Morocco suggests that the Hertzian waves develop various affections of the eyes. A slight conjunctivitis, resembling that occurring among those who work with arc lamps, was commonly observed, together with a few cases of a more serious nature. Two cases of eczema were apparently due to the same cause, and one man suffered from palpitation of the heart after working for any great length of time at the sending instruments. Dr. Belille is inclined to think that many cases of neurasthenia and nervousness, now becoming common in the navy may be due to the influence of the waves used in wireless telegraphy.

(American Xews Service) New York, Jan. 29. The first public

1 dinner of the Industrial Brotherhood . affiliated with the Twenty-Third Street Y. M. C. A., which was held last evening in this city, marks the inauguration of a new form of organized effort on the part of the Y. M. C. A. The purpose of the dinner was to make known the principles of the Brotherhood, to bid farewell to Mr. Voris. the retiring secretary, and to welcome and install the incoming secretary, Mr. Mills. The aim of the Industrial Brotherhood, which was, quietly organized

four years ago, is to develop and uplift the mental, social and spiritual condition of the thousands of shopmen in this city. Regular programs are drawn up for each meeting, which include both entertaining and instructive topics. Talks of educational value are delivered, some of the topics being. "Why we Vote," "What an education is and how to get one," "What the party platforms are," and many other equally instructive and interesting. One of the features of the organization is the way in which boys of the factory are educated. In most of the shops there are from five to thirty boys who have not had educational advantages. Classes in History and English, as well as in the Bible, are held at the noon hour for these boys. The Brotherhood aims to promote mutual associations in shops where there are none. In case one of the members of the Brotherhood is sick or out of work, a chosen representative is sent from the Brotherhool to pay a visit to the unfor

tunate one and do what he can for him and his family. Remarkable progress has been made by theorganization since it was founded, and its aim now is to extend its work to a larger scope by establishing itself in other cities.

Chatham Square, New Yorrk. now one of the busiest points on the lower east side, had a bad beginning. A giant negro, who was a sort of king of ten superannuated slaves, was allowed to settle there, each of his subjects being required to pay a fat hog and a score of bushels of grain every year for the privilege of living there, a part of the agreement being that their children should remain slaves.
