pleasure to say that I have been using your
glasses for some time past with much satisfaction.
For clearness, softness, and for all purposes in

HmneMore Mutual Life Poltcle*.
The late Silas D. Montgomery, of South Shafts-
bury, Vt., took out policy No. 107,145 in the Mutu
al Life in 1870. The policy became a claim last
spring and appears in the list of June 18. The
face of the policy was for $1000, and the additions
amounted to $407, or only $35.20 less than the
total amount of premiums which had been paid
on the policy. Insurance for sixteen years, aqd
$1000 to the estate of the insured, cost therefore
$2.20 per year. *
In January, 1885, Dr. George W. Blake, of lowea
Salem, Washington county, 0** took out policy
No. 259,230 in this company far $1000, paying one
annual premium of $81.80. On June 10, 1885, he
died. In August the company paid his wife
$1002. Within eight mouths from the time the
policy was issued, Mrs. Blake had received from
the company $1002, which had cost her husband
$31.80.
Joseph B. Barnes, a farmer of Northampton
county, N. 0., had paid but one premium of $57.99
on his policy of $1500. At the time of his death
last week, his heirs received $1503, as the fruits of
this small investment.
In 1861, John H. Young, of Beverly, Massachu
setts, insured his life in this company for $2000.
He allowed his dividends to accumulate, and lost
week his widow received $3558 as the result of his
loving foresight.

At the synagogue regular services will hence
forth be held on Friday evening nt 7:30, and Sat
urday morning at 9. to which all are cordially
welcome. Next Friday ito-morrow) the newly
arrived rabbi, Rev. L. Weiss, will deliver his in
augural sermon.
The Meetings nf St. Luke Clitircli.
The protracted meeting at St. Luke church
continues with increasing interest. . There was
quite a large congregation present last night to
hear the very instructive sermon preached by Rev.
Mr. MacDonnell, the pastor. There will be ser
vices again to-night nt 7:30 o’clock.
A CemtniHHsry Burned.
Oliver’s commissary, on the Americus, Preston
and Lumpkin railroad, was destroyed by fire on
Tuesday. The keeper was alone and asleep in
the house at the time aiul did not awake until
the roof began to fall in, and he barely had time
to escape. Nothing was saved, and Mr. Oliver’s
loss is estimated at four or five hundred dollars.
It is not known how the fire originated.
An Attempt to Release Jesse (look.
We learn that an attempt was mode Tuesday
night to relpase Jesse Cook, the Taylor county
wife murderer, who is in jail at Butler. An effort
was made to break through the iron grating in
the window, but the rescuing party gave up the
task from some unknown cause before completing
It. Cook is to bo hung to-morrow, and all the
arrangements for his execution have been made.

Messrs. J. B. Huff and George McGough have

Mrs. A. I. Young aild family went up to the
Warm Springs yesterday.
Columbus who feels an interest in the institution
will attend this meeting. It is of the greatest
importance that the library should be sustained,
but unless the membership is increased it will
have to go down. No sadder calamity could
befall the city. A well kept public
library is an absolute necessity to the welfare of
every city, and it would be a shame upon the
citizens of Columbus to allow our public library
to be closed.
The directors have labored hard to keep the
library out of debt, but it has been an up-hill bus
iness. If the ladies will come to their rescue now,
there is no doubt that the institution will be
placed squarely upon its feet again. Columbus
ladies always succeed in whatever they under
take. They should bestir themselves and pre
serve the life of our public library. They can do
it if they will.

The Merchants Kay There Is Already An Improve
ment hi file Trade of the City.
“You may not think so, but there is already an
improvement in business caused by the buying of
cotton on the streets again.”
This remark was made to an Enquirer-Sun re
porter by a prominent merchant yesterday morn
ing. Later in the day another merchant said:
“I hope you null put it in the paper every day,
that cotton is being bought on the streets of Co
lumbus again. I already see an improvement in
my business. I think I can see that it makes the
farmers look more cheerfril. They fteel like they
are bossing their own business when they
can sell their cotton themselves. Street
buying unquestionably causes competition in the
market aud the farmers get somewhat better
prices. Don’t forget to keep it in the paper that
cotton can be sold on the streets of Columbus
again.”
Another merchant said if the warehousemen
did not keep buyers on the streets, the merchants
ought to do it. It is agreed on all hands that it
is a good thing for the merchants, aiul that the
wagon receipts will be largely increased.

Dr. George P. Barnes, of Bristol, R. I., secured
a policy in this company for $3000, on the five-
year distribution plan, July 1,1885. On the third
day of last October he was stricken by heart dis
ease, and died as though he had been shot.
This happened in Dresden, Germany, while he
was on his wedding trip; and last week the frill
amount of the claim, on which but one premium
had been paid, was hai'ded to the young wife
and widow.
In this week’s list of paid claims appears the
name of George N. Walker, a prominent, citizen
of Peoria, 111. In 1818 Mr. Walker took a $3000
ordinary life policy in this Company. It cost
him $75 a year, and he kept it paid up until the
day of his death. The accumulated dividends
nearly’equal the face value of the policy and the
total claim paid to Mrs. Walker is $5727.

A correspondent writing from Savannah says :
“John Sweeney, alias Pat Ramsey, alias Dan
Dennis, alias several other names, was arrested
here to-day at the instance of Father O’Hara,
who was victimized to the extent of four dollars
and a half. The prisoner is a confidence oper
ator, who has worked through the country from
Boston tp New Orleans, making a specialty of
swindling Catholic priests out of squill amounts.
He is a medium size, rather respectable looking
man, with smooth upper lip and goatee, and is
about 50years old. His scheme is to get into the
confidence of the priests ami then borrow small
amounts for a few days. He got eleven dollars
from Rev. Father Schlenke, of Columbus, a short
time since. Father Schlenke, who is visiting Sa
vannah. heard Father O’Ham describe the swin
dler. and they both decided that he was of suffi
cient consequence to have an end put to his ca
reer, for a time at least. It is believed that he
has swindled many priests and Catholics in
southern cities.”

Narrow (iauge Ronds.
Narrow gauge railways, which had something
of a “boom” in the United States a few years ago,
have latterly shown very little increase in mileage
and not a few roads built of the three feet gauge
have been absorbed by other companies and
transformed to the standard. Nevertheless the
mileage and number of narrow gauge roads in
this country is still much larger than is generally
believed. The number of narrow gauge railways
in the United States up to July 1, 1886, was 211,
with a total length of 12,116 miles, or more than
9 per cent, of our total railway system.

atre last night by the ‘Aunt Bridget Comedy
Company,’ with Scott Marble’s new play of that
name. The theatre was not crowded, but there
was a good audience for opening night. The
piece is one of the funniest comedies on the
stage. It has very little plot. Such as it is, it re
lates the troubles of a young society man de
pendent on his aunt, and who is obliged to de-
viMjdl sorts of plans to get money from her. The
fanny situations, of which the piece is fall, are
the result of his scheming. The leading charac

W. Monroe, the original ‘Bridget,’ iu ‘Over the
Garden Wall,* and whoisoneof the best come

impersonation of the old Irish woman is a strong
one. Mr John C. Rice as *P. Alton McVeigh’
was also very successful, and his singing and
dancing brought down the house. Miss Katie

dancing, was a success as the little servant. Mr.
