makes the prediction that before many years Congress will be making appropriations for the constriction of irrigation canals and works In the tnterrst of agriculture, the same as it now makes appropriations for th improvement of the rivers nd harbors In the Interest of commerce. When that time comes, as It is pure to, then the national government will enact further neijed legislation on the . subject of water ways, their up and maintenance. States, however, may undertake to foster, and promote irrigation, and adopt

Mich regulations as may stem to bst meet the requirements of the cae. This has already bt-en done in wmu of the. Western States, and as the 12, miles of ditches and the 5.0X).() acres of Irrigated lnd in Colorado rpeak favorably for the efficiency of the law of that State, a brief reference Is made to them here. The farmers of the Constitution of Colorado, recognizing the arid condition of the land of the State, declared that the waters of the running rivers should be held in common for Irrlgalon. domestic, mining and manufacturing purposes, irrigation to- have preference over the manuficturlnc; and. following this constitutional provision. the law-rnakers of the State have surrounded Irrigation with all the safeguards which experience has shown to be necessary. One feature of the Colorado law. which differs from the oldtime laws is that of ' appropriation and priority. For instance, an individual or company may petition" the courts and ob tain a grant by Judicial decree for a certain amount of water '(for the. purpose oP Illustration, say KO cubic feet per weconl), to tc carried In a ditch of their construction. If thi is the first ditch to water . can. under the law, be furnished to ditches of later construction until ditch No. 1 has received Its full quota of 1') cubic feet per second," ven if the-last ditches be located above the. first, nearer the head-waters of the stream. The Colorado-law does not recognize riparian rights, but the right of prioritythe power to pre-empt water for leneflelal uses. It Is unlawful to waste water, and the theft of water if held to be larceny, and U punishable-under the criminal and civil codes. But, after all, that which the farmer of the seventeen arid State3 most desire is- the repeal of some bad national legislation and the enactment of additional beneficial laws co-operatlnjrwith the laws of tine States for the purpose of promoting irrigation and the reclamation of -the waste lands. And to make manifest this desire and to assist In the great work an irrigation congress, composed of practical Irrigators and farmers, was organized a few years ago. The third meeting of the congress, held In Denver las': fall, was noted for the intelligence and trominenee of he large number of delegates i attendance. To indicate the object and rpirtt of the meeting it Is necessary to quote but cne paragraph from the platform adopted hv the congrefs. It 'is as follows: 'The fundamental idea of our- policy is rot the reparation of 'State 'and national Interests, but co-operation between thse powers within their proper sphere. The Rreat trA n.vw is to reclaim lands nu i;cless and make them ftt to sustain a vat population under conditions which shall guarantee Industrial independence and human equality. We recognize these public lands as the heritage of the American people, not as the spoil of private. greed. We aim to deliver to the ptople this precious birthright iirulei conditions which will burden them only with the. actual coat , of reclamation and the return of the capital actually employed in the work, principal and interest. We recognize no private monopoly in the water which ,1s the life curTent of the field and hence of the man who lives thereon. We seek to inaugurate a policy which will settle Interstate water contentions in a soirit of" justice and equity. AVe aim to preserve an'l protect the forests mn3 to so control the'pastural lands that the barbarism of frontier warfare shall be forever eliminated and this portion of the public domain made useful to the largest number of people, under conditions which guarantee security. Upon these lines v.e hep to inaugurate a new' era of Industrial development, finding employment for labor anl cardial-and security "ami satisfaction for both." A .F0KK3TIXY POLICY. The following paragraphs from the address to the people are of importance, as .they give, expressions to tho visva of the congress concerning a- forestry . policy, as to It3 gratitude for national legislation and to the patriotic sentiment which actuates the endeavors' of tho.v?.. Interested in advancing the'euusc of irrigation in general: "But while, we are "about to ui-ge the necessity of Important and. fear-reachins legislation, we do not forget to thank the Congress and people df the United .States for what they have already" done for Western States afd Territories. We remember with gratitude the wise arid patriotic action of President Harrison in establishing ' larg" ' forest' reservations, and urge - the continuance of the policy by President Cleveland. We heartily indorse the plan of iTof. Sargent, of Harvard University, providing fcr the education at West Point of skilled foresters for a local forest guard, ami for Jhc use of detachments of United States troops in guarding forest areas. It is impossible to . exaggerate the Imiortance of forest preservation to the economic life of America, because of the intimate relation to water supply for irrigation." We also note with- satisfaction that a bill donating to eacn w csxein mate, unutr condition, l.OOO.OO") acres of arid lands, fcr. purposes of reclamation.- recently passed the United States Senate unanimously, passed the House with-only nine dissenting votes and received the -prompt approval of the President of the-United States. Wc Interpret this remarkable unanimity of action as an evidence of covittdenee in Western men. of real concern for Western Institutions. And it Is our purpose to avail .ourselves of the opportunity thus given and to make the Carey law the first step in the development oi a--great imuruai policy." We specially urge our countrymen to remember that in the true sense the problems of the Irrigation Congress are of national dimensions and national import. The best solution of the difficulties that vex our statesmen and economists is that solution which would provide idle, discontented or unprosperous people first with labor, then with homes. Our panacea for existing unrest is a small, irrigated farm, producing what the family consumes as well as a surplus for market, and giving to its occupants, by reason of its smallness, the benefits of neighborhood association. We ask only the opportunity and facilities to pro vide such homes lor minions, ana so erect Sreat States on what is now the voiceless esert. And this we seek to do in . the name o our nationality, not In the name of individual States or sections. We know no flag except the flag of the Union. We know no destiny except the destiny of the American people. And whatsoever we shall accomplish under the policies, we enunciate will add directly to the glory and greatness of our common country." This congress demanded the repeal of the desert land law. under which an individual may take up St acres of arid land and divert the course of a river to his personal benefit, thus robbing later settlers of the use of the water for irrigation purposes. The congress also took an Important step In declaring for the appointment of a na tional irrigation commission, empowered to administer Irrigation works constructed by the general government nd to Investigate and report upon matters relating to the adjustment of differences growing out of interests involved in interstate waters. In addition to these recommendations the congres adopted measures looking to the enactment of better State laws and t3 the encouragement of the irrigation movement In every section of the country. No question Is of deeper interest or more Importance-to the great mass of agriculturists of all the States than is that of irrigation and reclamation. Irrigation Is the foundation of the future prosperity of thousands of families everywhere, as it furnishes a means whereby the poor man may. by the requisite labor, surround himself and his family with the necessities nd comforts of life and hand down to his children a rich inheritance. It solves many creat industrial problems, and the unfolding years will show to air the world th it those who labored for irrigation on a more general, more scientific and more economic hais labored wiser than they knew.

LOTTERIES SCOTCHED

OTIIKIl C;i:T-HICII-UrICK- SCIIK.UCS, ' iiowttVKit, mavis srmxc; it. Iteport of the Aaslatnnt Attorney(irnrrul for tlie Font office Departinenl The Diplomatic Corpn. WASHINGTON. Oct. lC.-John Thomas, Assistant Attorney-general the Postofflce Department, has made L. for his annual report to the Postmaster-general. Of the operations of his office he says that during the year 218 "fraud" orders were Issued prohibiting the delivery of registered packages -and the payment of money or ders- to certain companies and parties named. Of these, however, thirty-eight were duplicate orders. The orders were Is sued against fifty-five lotteries operated by so-called bond-investment companies. twelve fa vowed lotteries, twenty-one lotter les of a miscellaneous character, and 130 schemes devised to defraud the public. Seventy of these orders were revoked upon it being made to appear that the parties operating the schemes had abandoned them. This left in force at the end of the year 148 orders, original and dupll cate. Twenty-eight of the orders issued during the previous year were also revoked upon the proper showing. Mr. Thomas says that the act of March 3, 189a, further amending the lottery act. has been most successful and has virtually closed the maila to lottery concerns -He adds: "This act goes . further still and forbids international and interstate carriers from transporting lottery matter from for elgn countries into this country or from one fetate to another. This department has no Jurisdiction, however, to enforce that part of the law, and I cannot state uenniteiy the extent to which the lotterycarrying business has been checked by the act, hut 1 am Informed that the most. if not all, of the express companies yield obedience to it . by refusing to carry the prohibited. lottery matter. "It may be confidently asserted that the aeath Knell of the avowed lotteries in this country has beta sounded and their bus iness has been vastly crippled if not ruined. but I am sorry to note the fact that many business men think they must, in order to succeed, resort to schemes that appeal to the gambling spirit of the people and they accordingly sugar-coat their legitimate enterprises with lottery advertise ments and-thus create a desire for other and more pernicious modes of obtaining something for nothing by hazard or chance These fascinating and apparently inno cent schemes reach the boys and girls of the land and tend to make, them gamb lers." The number of claims allowed for losses by burglary, fire, etc.. were 1.306, amount Ing to $136,686. He again urges a law com pelling subordinates in postoflices to give security for the handling of money or making the postmasters responsible for the losses Incurred by subordinates. Mr. Thomas also calls attention to an important subject in the following: "My attention has been several times during the year called to dangerous and injurious matter deposited in the mails and upon Investigation is was discovered that there is now no penalty prescribed for depositing such matter in the mails and indeed, there is no statute forbidding Its being mailed. Many substances, such as poisons, matches and other articles liable to Ignite or. ex plode by shock or jar, live and poisonous insects and reptiles, smallpox virus or germs of contagious diseases, oils, fatty substances, liquors, sharp-pointed tnstru ments. some of which are dangerous to I'fe, health, comfort of body, and others liable to damage other mail matter and mall sacks If they should become loose In the mails." THE DIPLOMATIC COUPS. clir.nRc lis the Personnel of ilic Sliowily-DresMed Hody. Special to the Indianapolis Journal WASHIXGTOX, Oct. 11 Washington's most Dicturesaue feature, the dinlomatin corps, has undergone many changes since the end of the social' season last winter. and when that body makes its first official and formal appearance-of the season! at the Vhlte House reception on next New Year's day many , of the faces that have grown familiar at the swell affairs of the national capital will be missing and many of the names that have cumbered the ledgers of tailors, florists and other tradesmen for some time past will no longer be found in the elite list.. The diplomatic corps never gets into action until the reception at the White House on New Year's day, although the Individual members will be Been out in society for a month or more before the recognized social season. At the New i'tar's reception, however, the diplomats come out strong and the procession of the members of the foreign legations and emoasies rrom the White House to the home or the hotel of the Secretary of State. where the diplomatic .breakfast is served. is one or the gala sights or the year. Many of the population of Washington stay uo all night in order to get a place on the White House fence where they may see the procession pass as scon as It has been received and properly attended to by the President. After this reception the entire organization lints up and puts out on foot tor the home of the Secretary of State, who Is under contract to feed them once a year. As they pass from the White House grounds in their glittering and useful rai ment they are the showiest things in Washington and worth cominK miles to see. The lowliest attache in the crowd will give carets ana spaaes to the most showily dressed drum major in the country, and will win out with ease. They have gold lace ana bullion strung all over them, while the aigrette, plumes, epaulets, cords, tassels. and ribbons of , any one legation would stock a millinery store. Such is the effect of this aggregation of beauty and valor on the great American crowd gathered without the gates that every man In it utters at some time while the procession is passing, with contemptuous emphasis, the remark which occurs ottenest in the narrative of the' adventures of Chlmmie Fadden. Since the diplomatic crowd last passed across the White House plaza to breakfast with the Secretary of State many changes have been made in its ranks. Baron Fava Is still dean of the corps, to be sure, and will be present with his forty-pound handi cap of gold lace and bullion, but for the first time since coming to Washington he will be accompanied by the Baroness Fava. This is a surprise for many Washlngtonians. but the introduction of the Baroness to Washington society had almost become a necessity, and it is thought the Italian government demanded that the Baron should throw a little style Into the legation at Washington. For years past he has been living a bachelor life in Washington, taking in all the social functions, but never once disposed to reciprocate. He lived cheaply at boarding houses although allowed a princely, sum for his expenses. To the shame of the Italian government be it said the flag of the Italian government was hoisted over the establishment of a barber in Washington, over whose place Fava boarded. - This year, however, he will settle up some of his social obligations and will try to play the social racket for a time from the home end. There are several changes in the British embassy, however. Sir Julian Pauncefote will be here again, tbut the hyphenate tprlng-Itice will be succeeded by another hyphenate one Dax-Ironside. Bax-Ironside is his real name. In the German embassy the Baron and Baroness Thlelman will this season be the representatives here of the German empire, in place of the Baron and Baroness Saurma-Jeitsch. Baron von tsaur ma-Jeltsch was much UKea in wasmngton society, but returnea to uermany in oraer I to have-some badly needed repairs made to his hyphen. In the Russian legation Prince Cantacuzene will be succeeded by Count de Smolianoff. whose name Is familiar to all who attend the comic operas. Mr. Pierre Rotklne will also have a successor. Portugal also sends a new minister Haron Thedim who will be accompanied by his wife. "AX IPER!VAL ASS. What Don M. Dickinson Sm About Mr Lionel SarkvlUe-Went. WASHINGTON'. Oct. 13.-Don M. Dickinson is In Washington with a committee to look after the interests of Michigan in ecuring more rapid mail service. Mr. Dickinson's name has been spoken of recently as the one referred to by. Sir Lionel Sack-ville-West in Ms pamphlet as the member of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet responsible for the minister's summary dismissal. Mr. Dickinson was asked to-day as to the facts of the case. He ald: "As the Incident occurred whtn I wan a memler of the Cabinet I do not feel at liberty to discuss It. Rut. as to Sir Lionel Sackviile-West, I have no hesitation in saying that he is now and always has been arj infernal ass." Mr. Dickinson, was asked for his views on Venezuela, and Cuba, as it has been state! of late' that he represented an ad-

vaneed position on these questions among the Ieaderscf his party. 'He said he did not care to g.i Into the matter at length. The developments of no distant day would speak more eloquently than words. He referred to the fact that Daniel Webster had recognized the independence of Greece many years before that country had actually secured complete independence, and in those days even Webster had been accused of "jingoism." Hx-Congressman Weadock. who is In the Michigan party, added to Mr. Dickinson's statement that it was a recognized principle of international law that a struggling people should be re:ogn!zed as belligerents as soon as they showed their ability to resist the established government. This was not a recognition of them ?a a nation, but as people entitled to the rights of civilized warfare. The Cubans were entitled to it now. and the question of their recognition as a nation would come afterwards.

Cn;reM anil Venezuelan QueMtlou. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. The manner in which the Venezuelan question Is to be brought before Congres has been outlined in a general way by those who have been most interested In the subject. This will be by means of a resolultion to be introduced, it is probable, on the first day of the session. It will provide for the appointment of, a. committee of six. three from the Senate and three from the House, to consider the entire, question and to report as to the rights and obligations of the United States and the course desirable for this government, to take. This resolution, it is said, will not delay a speedy determination of the attitude of the United States The purpose is to have all necessary material in the way of .historical data ready tor the committee- as soon as it is appointed, and it is expected that a report will be made to both branches of Congress before the holiday recess. Supreme Court to Meet To-Day. WASHINGTON, Oct. IS. In accordance with its usual custom at the beginning of the October" term, the United State3 Supreme Court -will hear no motions to-morrow, when it reassembles, except thos; for admission to the bir, but will sit on Tuesday to hear general motions. The majority of these usually take the form of mottontto advance special cas-s, and the indications are that the'present term will prove no exception. Thei government will navo about fifteen such motions, including one in the Judge Long pension cao. It is possible that besides hearing motions tor admission on Monday the court may announce a few de cisions. If The President should arrive in Washington before the- convening of the court there will be an early adjournment in order to permit the usual formal call at the White House.

Judge Jump "and Dr. Bogard, executors of the estate of the late Josephus Collett, the well-known Terre Haute capitalist, have been ruled to answer in the United States Court a week from to-day In the suit brought by New York capitalists, who hold a note for $300,000 which Mr. Collett indorsed. If the amount is paid out of his estate it will prevent the execution of his will, ' in which he made several large bequcsta to public Institutions, among them $3,C00 to the Kose Polytechnic Institute, of Terre Haute, and S75.00O for an orphans' home In Vermillion county, where Mr. Collett formerly lived. When Mr. Collett sold the Chicago & Ohio Kivcr road to Mr. Mackey, he Indorsed the note now. in litigation. 'I he note was Issued by Mr.. Mackey, and had as Indorsers, besides, Mr. Collett, Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Baldwin, who were associated ' with Mr. Mackey In the Mackey system of railroads. Since the note was soli Mr. Mackey has become a, bankrupt and the names Of Baldwin and Hopkins are not of account as regards the payment of the note, and Mr. Collett is dead. At the time he made his will Mr. Collett had . no thought that he would ever. be called on to pay any part of the note. A few years before his death he was worth JSOO.CWO, but. the loss of fcioo.000 m the wheel trust and as much more by the shrinkage of values in other industrial stocks, cut his fortune, in two. He was a bachelor, and the will bequeathed the remainder of the estate, after paying the public bequests, to sisters, nieces and nephews. The' executors of the will have employed lawyers, including. General Harrison, to resist the payment of the $300,000. WILD CiAME IX I.DIAA. Deer-KIHIuR- Reminiscences of n. Wulinwli County Resident. Henry Garner, in Wabash Tribune. I came to Wabash in 18-03. Two or three years later I moved out in the country and tried farming. I tell you there were plenty of deer, turkeys and squirrels in those days. How many deers have I killed in my life? Weil, can't say sure. Adam Graves used to say he killed more than a hundred, and he wasn't here any earlier than I was, but I guess maybe I have shot as many as sixty or seventy at the least calculation. One time I killed two fine bucks at one shot, and I'll tell you how I did it. They were standing close together, one of them yvith his neck In front of the other s hip. I knew If I missed the neck of the nearest one I would certainly hit the other. I shot and both of them ' sprang away through the . woods, one of them beinir plainly badly crippled. I had two good hounda, and they started after the deer at once and. had not chased them a hundred yards until, they caught the crippled one, which had its thigh broken. Not more than ten rtens bevond thia buck lay the other one, stone dead, with a bullet hole through its wind pipe and the jugular vein. I hung them up in a tree ton and went back home I killed them on The Peter Bechtol farm, now known an the Thomas Brodbec-k place, and was living on the Cowglll farm, lust north of town and getting a horse carried them both back to my cabin. The deer was standing eighty yards from .me when I shot, as I measured me aisiance Dy stepping it off. l got one aeer once that I didn't kill. One evening I heard some dogs chasing a deer through the woods not a great distance from my cabin, and all at once their bawling ceased and I heard no more of them that night.. I lived east of where the Ed Kenerk farm is then, and the nevt mnrnlntI Went OUt tO try anrl kill snm turkeva T didn't travel more than two or three hundred yards until I came upon two of the jiuesi apecKiea nounas you ever saw, and they were lviner beside a killed the night before at the time 1 heard them yelping. i The weather was rnni it hcin ioA t October, and as the dogs had not touched the deer after kllline it.

The fact that I got the deer did not give me so much comfort as did the th nnrhf .-e a splendid pair of hounds had come into my possession. I fed the dogs well and they strayed around the cabin all day and until we went to bed. hut t they were gone and I never saw anything more of them. I heard afterward that they belonged to a man north of Huntinptrm od that they had started the deer away'ean of .nJy.pLa9e am ha(1 "nally run It down and killed it.

IMPBOVED ROADWAYS

SICCE-SSFIL IIEMLT OF EXPEIU3IEXTS IX 3IASSACIII SETTS. Rapid Irogrei Reinjr Made? In Macad amising; Hlghvrnys Cirent Benefit to Farmers and Cyclers. BOSTON, Oct. 13. The last Legislature appropriated $100,000 for the construction of highways on the new State system The Republican, and Democratic State conven tions this month both declared in their platforms in favor of good roads. The highway commission will recommend to the next legislature that there be appropriated $1,000,009 In one sum for the continuance of the work. It is wonderful how this high way improvement has jumped into popular ity all over the state. Doubtless the gen eral use of. bicycles has had "much to do with the appreciation of smooth and hard surfaces on which to wheel, and, if the workings of Wires under' the "surface could be traced very likely it would be found that the planks which appeared In the two Stato platforms originated In the brains of wheelmen. But' there is no question that the large expenditure . already incurred Is warmly approved by the people. At present petitions for construction by the State commission, have been received from thirty of the towns of the State, or Just two-thirds of the whole. Construction is actually going on in seventy different localities.. About seven hundred miles have been petitioned fcr already , and localities which have been hostile apparently from fear of the County Commissioners that their prestige was to be Interfered with have come around ta favor the commission. It is expected that out of the 20,700 miles of road in the State, outside of the cities, about two -thousand Will ultimately be "taken under the care, of the State, for It is a part of the system that after these State roads have been built" the State is ever afterwards responsible for their maintenance. That is, about 10 per cent, of all the reads will be parts of the "Stat system. - This is the proportion in France, says Prof. N. S. Shaler, a member of the commission, where 48,000 of the 480,000 of national and department roads are under the care of the national government. The same proportion is observed in Austria. So that a little over onethlrd of all the roads that the State will ultimately build is petitioned for already: But the construction of roads by the State by no means represents all the good which has been accomplished already by the new system, to say nothing of the abundant promise for the future which Is' seen. -The introduction of better roads has had the effect within this short time, which was. anticipated, of stimulating the towns to do better on their own account. Mr. McCormlck, of the commission, says that at least 30 per cent, of the towns which have petitioned. for .new roads have bought new road machinery, and expect to improve their systems generally. The effect of the, short -pieces ot lm proved roads which are' found in different parts of the State 'has been to demand that all other roads be made as good. Of course, the reform will be very long in accomplishment, and may never be fully realized, but it has actually begun, and the more it is tried the better it is appreciated. Another benefit to the-State is that under the supervision of the highways commission there has been developed a, grade of road building ability which will be of permanent use to the towns, even, after the men have offered to work for, the. State. It is agreed bv all the members ,rof "the commission Messrs. Perkins, McCimtock and Shaler that the road which Is1 'made by the contractors in the several towns Is as good as is made by such expert as Boston has had for building its roads In Franklin Park. and Professor Shaler says that he ''would be willing to go into competition with the French road builders for any number of selected miles of road." It i the assertion of the commission, in which they feel abundantly Justified after, reading the reports of the foreign road builders, which are all carefully read here, that our new roads are as good as are made abroad, and that there fa a not a State in the country which has a system as good as Massachusetts. One object which the. commission has set resolutely before it from the beginning has been to do Its worMhoroughly.. 1 fcs .realized that -the suc.ce.ss or failure of the entire movement,1 as regards its popular aspect, depended upon conscientious -work from the foundation. The commission keeps accurate records i of everything which has been done. Its laboratory, says Professor Shaler, is the best in the State for such work. Careful tests are made of all the rock and stone' which, are used for surfacing. An analysis is made in the laboratory to determine the toughness and hardness of the rocks This wcrk of road building is of no mean importance in the development of the State,, Professor Shaler says that he has computed, in terms of freight transportation,-the distance of a manufacturer in Cummington,- in .the west part of Hampshire county, from Boston. The result showed that the manufacturer was further away than If, he hart lived beyond Omaha. The same man testified before the commission that it cost three times as much to get his goods from Cummington to Williamsburg, the. nearest railroad station, as it did to transport them from Williamsburg to Chicago..; As Professor Shaler puts it, bv building these roads Massachusetts Is all the time annexing new territory to her domain. There is no doubt that this system-of 'Improved highways alone will be the means of raving some local manufacturers who: have not been able to standi the cost of. transporting their freight from the mills to the station. The expense of the State roads varies greatly. The most expensive which the commissioners have yet built is in Goshen, in Hampshire county. Where the outlay has a a o fwtk wttlA YVfc? haa Kaon nn been about S18.00O a mile. . This has been up a hill, where the grade, in parts was as high as eleven feet in 100. Probably the least expensive road. which has been built by tne rstate nas Deexi uai m .-suim .-vmc-boro. The cost has been $5,581 per mile, and nme nf it has been twentv-four feet wide Rome eighteen and some fifteen. A road of fifteen feet uniform width has been built in Mattapolsett for J3.SCS0 a mile besides grading. The macadamizing alone averages from J3,0(K) to I3.5CO a mile, oyer the State.

Several prominent companies are considering the advisability of taking similar action as regards Washington, Idaho and Oregon. The Massachusetts Mutual Fire Insurance Union held its annual meeting and dinner at Youne's Hotel, Roston, last week. These officers were elected: President. Roger F. Uphain, -secretary of the Worcester Mutual; vice president?, E. M. Tucke. secretary, of the Traders and Mechanics', of Lowell, and Thomas F. Temple, president of the Dorchester Mutual; secretary and treasurerAlfred M. Harbour, secretary of the . Cambridge Mutual. The Assurance .Reserve, a new stock fire company of Cleveland,- O., has been chartered. Its capital ie- $50C,W and it will start out -with a surplus of $135.000.. Henry N. Staats will probably be the. general manager. The company will write ,

only protected mercantile and manufactur

ing risks. Policies will be written at the home offlce. Rates will be made direct with the assured and the company will not oe laentmea with any board or under writers. The final decree of the Prussian covern ment in regard to American life Insurance companies Is hostile to these companies and the New York Life, Equitable and Mutual Life will now cease doing business In that country. President McCall. or tne -New lork Life, who is now in Paris, has cabled to the home office that the Prussian government has notified his company that on ov. 1 it must cease do lng. business in that part of the German empire which is under Its jurisdiction. The big life insurance companies report a large increase in the number of women who are taking insurance. Among the most heavily insured women are the most wealthy. For instance, Mrs. George Hearst, of California, is insured for fcKM. 000: Mrs. Emeline Wallace, of San Fran cisco. for $130,000: Mr3. Kckhart. of Denver, for $135,000. Of thoe carrying more than $100,000 each are Mrs. Caroline Sinclair, of Cedar Rapids, la.; Mrs. Lauretta P. Gibson, of Cincinnati; Mrs. E. It. Crocker and her sister, Mrs. J. Sloat Fassett, of Elmlra, T. Y. Gustav G. PabFt. the youthful vice presi dent of the Pabst Prewinjr Company, of Milwaukee, Wis., had his life insured for riOO.OOO in the Mutual IJfe of New York. He was born in Milwaukee. Nov. 2C. 1S06. and educated at the Pennsylvania Military Academy, at Chester, Pa. On completing his education he visited . all the principal cities of Europe and on his return to this country entered the employ of the Pabst Brewing Company as its secretary. After serving In that capaeity for six years he was last year, elected to the vice president's chair. The trial of Morris Schoenholz, in New York, for complicity in the big East-side arson conspiracy, developed the fact that there has been a great decrease in -fires since the recent arrests of members of the firebug gang. These figures of fires occurring in New York this year, as compared with same months in 1834, are instructive: . 1831. . . 1893.

Runk in the suit afrainst the Mutual Life, of New York, to recover $73,0U0 worth of insurance on Uunk's life. A trial of the case last April resulted in a verdict for the insurance company. The Philadelphia North American says: "According to some of the testimony at the trial it appeared thnt rtnnk. who was a member of the firm of Darlington & Punk, became heavily Involved individually through stock speculations and when serious trouble confronted him increased his life Insurance in a number of companies and when carrvim? half a million of dollars of insur ance committed suicide. One of . the counsel for Executor Ritter said that the question to be decided has never been passed on in any court, namely, whether an insurance policy in which nothing is said about suicide is void if the insured kills himself." A committee appointed by a meeting of the policy holders of tho Mutual Reserve Fund Life, held recently at the office of lawyer A. E. Woodruff, in New York, has reported that having examined and listened to the explanations of the officers it is satisfied that the action of the executive in inereasinc the rates is lawful and proper, and that the association is absolutely solvent. Meanwhile both in Chicago and St. Louis there arc committees of policy holders formed i which will seek to mAin tVi r-omnanv in the courts from collecting the increased assessments. There was another meeting oi poncy noiaers at the office of Sehnitzer. Meyer & Phlllippean, at No. 120 Broadway, New ork, a few days ago, that had a different reit t.aa called "to outline plans for calling a public meeting of policy holders who protest against th company s recent heavily increased assessments and to formulate a campaign of action for a reorganization of the company and the oustin? of the so-called Jiurnnam interest. A. special committee was bv-cu . i consider ways and means for carrying on V.O rvintpat nd to arransre for the pro posed publlo meeting, to report at an ad journed meeting. SEW PUBLICATIONS. President O. D. Awhley' Hainrnya nnd Their Employes So rarely does tho president of a rail road company undertake to publicly discuss economic topics affecting capital and labor that the small volumo entitled "Railways and Their Employes," by President Ashley,1 of the Wabash, may well claim special at tention. The series of papers which make the book were originally published in the Railway Age. President Ashley assumes that "the mutuality of interests" existing between the railways and their employes should lead to the adoption of plans which will enable them to work together for their mutual advantage. His experience enables him to assert that if the employes of a railway had an Incentive in sharing some benefits which their regular wages do not Include, looking to a more efficient and tt-atehfui service, there would be a change for the better which would be to the advan tage of the companies as well as to tne men employed. Havincr laid down this sensible propoM ion. the railway president proceeds to conHior the methods bv which the army of emnloves. both those who perform mental as well as manual labor, . may be made,. o realize the "mutuality oi interest. Profit sharing he would favor, but, alas: under the present senseless competition there were no proms to speaK or ior tne owners of most roads, much less for sharing with the most worthy of men. Profitsharing has succeeded in a few instances, but labor being for -the most part opposed, to the scheme. Many employes of large experience do not believe that It is the best method, as It insures a dividend to tho indifferent, who has scarcely earned his wages, as well as the Interested and helpful employe. This objection, however, Mr. Ashley does not discuss. He also considers, with reference to railway employes, "examples of practical cooperation," one of which was adopted by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in 18S6. It is a branch of the railroad administration; and is entirely voluntary, as employes may or may not become members of the relief fund, as they choose. The relief fund Is formed by voluntary contributions from employes, appropriations by the company when necessary to make up any deficit, income from the fund, and such legacies as may be received. The company guarantees the obligations under the regulations, conducts the business and pays all operating expenses. Members of the relief fund are classified according to the amount of the regular pay per month. The lowest class pays 75 cents a month and the highest $3.75. In case of accident or disability in the company's service, the lowest class received 50 cents a day for a year, and n case of sickness the allowance for the first or lowest class Is 4i) cents a day. In case of death, from $2i to $1,250 is paid. At the present time 81 per cent, of the employes under forty-five years cf age are members ot the relief. In addition to the relief fund the company has established a savings fund, which amounts to $1,200,000. President Ashley would prefer that the company should provide the relief fund out of its treasury, but as this corporation makes ud any deficit which I may result from the insufficiency cf the contriDuiions, accoraing to tne scale, to pay relief dues, he considers that the next best thing. Mr. Ashley presents other plans of cooperation adopted abroad, and discusses generally the theories of socialism, which he finds impracticable. But the fact that the highest railway officials are giving attention to so important questions affords ground to believe that plans will be devised which will insure to the great body of faithful and efficient employes of railways a further Interest In the property of the corporations employing them than the regular monthly wage. Rut first the managers must put an end 4o rate-cutting, which deprives railways of the means to recognize the best service.

The placing of "Christian consciousness" along with the Bible, the church and the reason as a source of authority may seem revolutionary, but by many It will be regarded as being the formal statement of a position that has to some extent been already granted.
