After prayer meeting last night, those of the congregation interested in the continuance of the sale of chairs ad journed to the auditorium of the church Where Mr. Sydney Davis took the rostrum as 'auctioneer.

WORK FOR THE POOR,.

The City Stone Pile and the Sncioty ot Organized Charity. Although poor peoplr are suffering a great deal l^ys winter for the want of food and fuel in Terre Haute, yet our city is not overrun with tramps likeSt Louis and other western cities. It is true that more men apply for shelter now than during former winters. But the state of affairs in St. Louis is far worse than in this city. There 2,000 tramps nightly ask for lodging and food. The charity organizations are taxed to the utmost. The action of the council Tuesday night, establishing a stone yard for worthy and poverty-stricken people was commended all citizens yesterday. The old engine house at the corner of Ninth and Cherry streets was cleaned of the straw and lumber by Street Commissioner Veorhees and all who held certificates from the Society for Organized Charity will be given work breaking stone. The society will make efforts to ascertain those who are in destitute circumstances, and to them certificates will be issued. Those who can tide through the winter without such aid will have to stand aside for Ihoso more destitute.

Union Central Life insurance Co., Cincinnati, Dhio.

Every community can present instances in which men, at one time wealthy, have, through ultimate misfortune lost all but their life insurance, and dying, have left, only the value of their policy to their families.

The money placed in genuine life insurance has been wisely invested, and the perpetuation of the policies has proved alike judicious to the insured, the best investment to their families, and a sound, practical lesson to policy holders everywhere. Encourage your neighbors to at once secure a lite rate endowment or a ten annual life rate endowment policy in one of the most reliable, and absolutely' safe companies in the country, the Union Central, of Cincinnati.

In a table showing the average rate of interest realized on average rate of investments for the past five years by the life insurance companies of the country, we note that the In ion Central Life Insuraflfce Co., of Cincinnati, stands at the head. Its per cent, is 7.95. The next to it is 7.52. One is as low pa 4.30. As the profit, and we may gay the perpetuity, of a life insurance company depends upon its income from investments, it is certainly gratifying to see a Cincinnati institution standing at the head in this particular.

Before you give sleep to your eyes, call on T. H. Riddle, and secure a policy for the benefit of your family in this truly reliable company, the Union Central, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and while you thus protect your family you secure an investment, paying you not less than 4£ per cent/ compound interest, paid to yourself in a few years in case you live.
