Yesterday evening an Enquirer-Sun reporter i
was one of a crowd in the rotunda of the Rankin I
house, and everybody was running over with j
experience. It was what Methodist* would 11 !

a beaver and a cigar holder, said:
"Mu wife and I had just retired. All the doors
begun to’ shake. My wife has a pet theory about
burglars. She thinks they rob you to the music
of drums and gongs. I don’t,
think she wouldjcver consent to be robbed
by a quiet, modest burglar. Ho she said: ‘My
dear, there a?c the burglars we have been look
ing for so long. I knew they’d come at last.’
Well, I got my pistol and pranced up and down
the hall dressed in my night-gown, I look like a
terror when I’m rigged out that way. Bnt I felt
like a fool when I discovered that I was trying to
shoot an earthquake. That earthquake had a
narrow escape.”
A dude weighing ninety pounds, who was ar
rayed in his best blue spectacles, low-
quartered shoes and a package of
cigarettes, said: "I was visitiug a
little lady. She is a seventeen-year-old heiress,
and somehow her old father doesn’t think I’m
a success. I don’t know where he got the idea.
He will take these strange notions. Well, he
has intimated that my visits to his daughter do
not enthuse him, and that I ought to stop. He
is a big man—very big. He is nearly a yard wide
if he ain’t ‘all wool.’ I imagine he would kick
a man so as to make him sore, if he got mad.
Well, when the shock came I thought it was
my prosuective father-in-law coming to assault
me. The girl stroked my hand and hair and told
me to ‘not be afraid,’ but 1 couldn’t. I felt re-

Mutual Life Policies Again,
A short time ago Mr. William Heath, of Lake-
wood, N. J., died. Many years ago he took out
two policies of insurance in The Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York, one for $15,000
and the other for $5000. When these claims were
settled the company paid $24,733, the $4733 being
a portion of the dividends which Mr. Heath had
allowed to remain unused. The total premiums
paid amounted to $6139.89, so that the company
returned $18,953.11 more than he had paid in, or
$4.04 for every dollar invested. This is only one
of the thousands of illustrations of the advantage
of selecting The Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York, which is the largest and strongest
company in the world, and which, by strict econ
omy of management, is enabled to make better
returns to its policy-holders than any other com
pany.—Atlantic City Review.
TWO CLIPPINGS FROM THE BOSTON COURIER
Charles E. Adams, of Springfield, Mass., had a
life policy of $1000 in The Mutual Life Insurance
Company, which amount was paid to his heirs
last week. The total premiums paid had
amounted to only $70.84. Caleb Thompson, of
South Braintree, Mass., had an endowment pol
icy in the same company which matured and was
paid to him, the total amount being $1231.82.
The policies in The Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York pay the holder at settle
ment about 5% per cent, compound interest on
the investment.

An Enquirer-Sun reporter, while making the
rounds this morning about 1:15 o’clock, met
three young men who were trying to get into a
dru* store. Upon investigation lie learned that
uu unknown man had been shot by a white
woman named Narcissa .Johnson. The ball took
effect iu the side, but as the pistol used was a
very tmiall one, the wound was said to he very

Yesterday morning Bailiff Abney went out to
the big ditch where William Daniel, colored, was
at work, and arrested him under n warrant
•worn out by Ellen Lewis, charging him with
bastardy. Daniel was taken before Judge
Wynne and held to answer the charge, his bond
bfing fixed ut $2.0. Seeing that he could not
make the bond, Daniel made overtures to the
girl and she agreed to marry him and stop the
prosecution. The ceremony was performed on
the spot by Judge Wynne and the warrrnt dis

He was looking for it. Earthquakes can’t fool

can accomplish in the Master’s cause. For the
qualities just-named he is esteemed by all who
have been so fortunate as to come within the
circle of his influence to be the peer of any man
of this age or country.
The church of which he was the firs' 1 -, and to
this time, the only pastor, was organized with
about a dozen members some seven years ago.
Having then no house of their own for worship,
they held in jetings in such places as could be
temporarily procured for the purpose. The mem
bers were poor and the prospect for erecting a
house of worship was indeed unpromising —the
undertaking seemed truly Herculean.
But before this man of ftiith and his few zealous
coadjutors difficulties gradually vanished, and
to-day they have an excellent and commodious
house of worship, conveniently located, with a
membership amounting up into the hundreds.
The recollection of their beloved pastor will be
fresh and fragrant in the minds of his dock, and
especially with the youths of his congregation,
long after his now familiar form shall be hidden
beneath the sod of our mother earth.
We do nat know the considerations which
prompted his resignation, other than that he
feels that the task of building up and firmly es
tablishing another church for his denomination
in this city has been frilly accomplished, and that
his impaired beaftli and the good of the cause
for which he bus so devoutly striven, calls lor the
consecration of a new and fr sh worker in his
stead. If his people shall succeed in filling his
place with a man having like qualities of faith
and zeal, they will indeed be fortunate. The
church lias not yet acted upon the resignation.
