A GREEDY EX-SOLDI-The Bemarkable History of An Italian Impostor Who Impersonated His Bead Comrade, THEBEBY SEOUBING TWO PENSIONS He Was Detected While Trying to Secure Some Unpaid Bounties A Shrewd Foreigner. "Talking about pension swindlers," said Maj. Harry Phillips recently, "the most remarkable case that ever came under my observation was that of an Italian by the name of Giusetto. H was as keen as a razor, well educated, but with a nerve and audacity which few men possess. A year after the close of tho war a claim for pension was filed for a man named Jacoues Eollincer, of Springfield, O. He had enlisted as a private in one of the Ohio regiments in 1862, and had worked his way up until he had obtained a commission as a lien-tenan-t. His c.luim was on account of rheumatism contracted in the service. Aftor proving that it was contracted in the service, and that it continued from the date of his discharge up to the data of the application, the question was asked if he had been in the service pre-vious to his enlistment in the Ohio regi-ment. To this he answered that in 1861 he had emlisted in the First New York In-dependent battalion. Upon searching the roll of the First New York Inde-pendent battalion his name was found. ' The records showed that Bollinger, on Jan. 80, 1864, had been transferred to Company B of the Forty-sevent- h regi-ment, N. Y. S. volunteers, and that at the battle of Olustee, on Feb. 80, 1864, he was reported wounded and taken prisoner by the Confederates. They further showed that his name appeared on the roll of the Andersonville prison, I and that he was reported as having died there on Aug. 27, 1864. HB IMPOSED ON SECRETARY STANTON. Upon a further search of the war de-partment records it was found that in 1865 a man claiming to be Jacques Boll-inger, accompaniod by a little boy, had presented himself to Secretary Stanton, the then war minister, with a very plaus-ible story, stating that he had been in the Andersonville prison, was sick there and feigned death in order to escape; that he was carried out of the prison inclosure with a lot of dead men, all being dumped to the ground together early in the morn-ing. Watching his opportunity when the coast was clear of the guards he crawled unobserved toward a neighbor-ing wood and finally escaped, reaching tho Union lines about the time of the general surrender. Secretary Stanton was impressed with . the apparent sincerity of the man, who readily answered the questions concern-ing the prison and its surroundings sat-isfactorily. Ho believed the story, had ' the death record canceled and caused all ' the bark pay and allowances to be paid to the supposed Bollinger. Shortly after-ward the man filed a claim for pension , on account of disability resulting from a gunshot wound incurred while in the service, which was subsequently allow-ed. A few years after this pension was - secured another claim for bonnty, re-- ': muster and allowances was filed in the ' second auditor's office at Washington aa , being due Jacques Bollinger, of Com--, pany B, Forty-sevent- h New York vcflun- -, teers, by a party claiming to be the , father of Jacques Bollinger. Evidence was filed proving Jacques Bollinger's - death and bnrial while a prisoner of war ' at Andersonville, Ga. ' About this time a pension and claim agent who did business at the New York ' city hall happened to call at the office of another claim agent in that vicinity. Upon entering the office of the second agent the first agent recognized a man present aud called him by the name of Qiusotto. THE DISCOVERY. While conversing together the second agent told the first that the man he had accosted was not named Giusetto, bnt Bollinger, and that evidently it was a case of mistaken identity. He was posi-tive of that, because he was then engaged in prosecuting a claim before the govern-ment for back pay and bounty due on account of his son, who had died in the Andersonville prison. The first agent answered that he could not be mistaken, - for the reason that he had already secured a pension for the same man on account of gunshot wounds under the name of Giusetto. The two agents, on compar- - ing notes, made up their minds that there was something crooked somewhere, and reported all the facts in their possession to the authorities at Washington. The secret service officers of the pen-sion buroau, upon searching the records at Washington, found that Giusetto had been a member of Company A, Forty-seven- th regiment, New York volunteers; that Bollinger was born in France, near the Italian border, close to Giusetto's birthplace, and that while both had been mustered in the Forty-sevent- h regiment of New York volunteers, though in dif-ferent companies, they had become warm friends.understanding each other's native language. They were both taken prisoners at Olustee and sent to Ander-sonville, where Giusetto, during their long and weary prison days, learned all abont tho family story of Bollinger. The secret service officers also ascer-tained that Qiusotto was the man who personated Bollinger immediately after the war and imposed on the secretary of war. It was also ascertained that through another claim agent Giusetto had secured a pension for himself, in his own name, for wounds received when ho was taken prisoner at the battle at which Bollinger was captured. Had he been contented with the double pension ihe was receiving he might have escaped .detection. He was tried, convicted and (sent to the Sing Sing State prison for a .term of seven years some time in the early seventies. After Giusetto served out his time he returned to Borne, Italy, where a few years ago he was occupy-ing a responsible position in a large busi-ness .firm. Brooklyn aele. A STRAWBERRY TEA. A Delightful Plan Outlined by Annie Isabel' Willis. Copyright by American Press Association. A strawberry tea, coming as it would in most places at the time when roses as well as berries are at their height, is an affair which will admit of effective de-vices and arrangement, when the hostess possesses good taste and the means to give it full play. Everything about the table should be as nearly like roses or berries in color, at least as possible. Lights may be shaded with red shades or white ones, ornamented if possible with roses and berries. The center decoration of the table can consist of an oblong mat of strawberry colored Telvet, edged with a row of the growing plants. Rose bowls and tall, clear glass vases, with red and white roses in them, form the floral dec-orations. The finger bowls, of a rich red hue, may be accompanied by doilies of fine white linen on which are straw-berry plants, done in outline stitch with red silk. If possible have few bloa-n-ni in each bowl. Another beautiful way to decorate the table will be to hav a glass center, on which are set low, cut glass dishes holding strawberry plants, both those with fruit and with blossoms. Wild strawberry plants are prettier than cultivated one, if it is possible to obtain thorn. The strawberry is used to make and Savor many delicious dishes, the best known of which is the dainty culled "strawberry shortcake." This will, of course, Vie one of the viands. Some of tho toothsome Scotch jam, which can be purchased in jars of various sizes, may also be on the table, though it must not expect tho attention given to the fresh fruit. The berries should be served with hulls on, every diah being lined with leaves of the fruit. Each berry is picked ap with tho fingers, dipped into sugar j and conveyed to the mouth. This has become quite a favorite way of eating strawberries, but cannot be adopted with 1iat part of the fruit which is served with cream. Ice cream flavored with strawberry should also be a prominent dish, and it would be well to have no other colored ice cream, in order that the white and pink may harmonise with the prevailing tints of the table. The first dishes to be served are the cold meats, salads and scalloped oysters. Strawberry jam may accompany these, also fancy rolls and biscuits, besides the bread. Next should come the shortcake, served with rich cream, and after that the fresh fruit, some of it with cream and some having the hulls on, to be eaten with sugar, as described above. Ice cream and ices follow, and with them strawberry sherbet, a delicious dish prepared by mashing the ripe fruit, sprinkling it with sugar (a pint of sugar to a quart of berries), the juice of a lemon, and a tablcspoonful of gelatine dissolved in a half pint of water, the whole to be frozen like ice cream. Straw-berry tutti frutti is another viand which is easily prepared and served with whipped cream. The basis of the dish is preserved strawberry. Into this are cut figs, bananas, pineapples and oranges in fancy shapes. These are mixed among the preserved berries with raisins; the cream is brought on separately. Fancy cakes should accompany this course. Last of all coffee is served. The number of devices presented at this tea will depend on the purse of the hostess. If possible, the strawberry ice cream should be froten in the shape of the fruit for which it is named. As many of the dishes as possible should be colored like the fruit or decorated with it. On each napkin may lie a single cluster of strawberry leaves and blos-soms, and, if they can be procured, one of the fine confections shaped like straw-berries, obtainable in large city confec-tionery stores. Each guost card should be painted with either a blossom, leaf or fruit of the strawberry, and some line or lines abont the fruit, as: With thy red lip redder still. Kissed by strawberries on the bin. ANXIB IflABFX WlLLtS. Medicinal Property of Clams. I call to mind a remarkable instance of the efficacy of clams as a curative of internal disorders. A young woman well known in the theatrical profession some years ago came home to the metropolis to die, she having contracted gastric trouble while sojourning in tho tropics. At the time of her arrival home in New York she was fearfnlly emaciated and could not even digest Liebig's extracts. All she could seem to assimilate at all was the juice she could suck from very rare broiled beef. To condense my story, her people were persuaded to let her have clam juice. It happened luckily that she was very fond of those bivalves, and through judicious nursing in rime she recovered her health, and always at-tributed it, in great part, to the clams.

MEN OF LETTERS, Edgar Fawcett is one of the handsom-est literary men in New York. He is a hard worker, a bachelor and livee at the Union club. Louis Kossuth is afflicted with a slow-ly progressing cataract. He, however, believes that death will come to him sooner than blindness. William Black has taken an Omaha girl for the heroine of his new romance, it is stated, and Mr. Gladstone figures to some extent ' in a character named Grandison. Two Gorman writers, Walloth and Al-berts, who emulated with great success Zola's naturalist style of story telling, have been heavily fined at Leipsio for publishing such writings. Walter Besant, the English novelist, is the victim of a curious charge. A man accuses him of having hypnotiied him and while in that condition extracted from him, word for word, the nov' "The Doubta of Dives." Like many another wise elderly man Francis Parkmau, the historian, has taken to. gardening, and is as successful at it as was Evelyn. He is particularly fond of roses. He is writing again, hav-ing in a great measure recovered his fcaalth. an a mirerent sat. "Now pray for Susie Bates," Said Mrs. ; Simeral to Flossie, who was saying her prayers. "Susie is quite .aick." . "Why, mamma," said Flossie, "I can't pray for her. She doesn't belong to our crowd." Epoch |
