Tbe Thomasville Times gives tbo

Il would be a painful disappoint
ment to American people if hostilities
woro to be renewed. We ought not to
contribute to such a result unless we
must. But tbe way to deal with such
moo as Blanco io to refuae to be bfuff
od or imposed upon by them If be
will not go quietly, there must be a
show of force sufficient to put him out.
Thon ho will bo ready to go —Louis
ville Courier Journal.
There is a lot of truth in tbe follow
ing paragraph from the Blakely Ob
server : “A nowspspor man may rip,
roar and real through bio columns for
a man or set of mon for years; then,
he is a tolerably good fellow. But let
him be deriliot in bio duty toward thio
mao or oet of men one time, and past
favors are forgotten and the newopaper
man ia accused of trading—in other
words ia a cheat and ewiodler."
The violence exhibited in the affair
toward the negro laborers ia discredit
able to tbo civilisation of Illinois. H
ipay be usefully oet over against the
occasional lynching of negroes in the
south for aosaulto upon women. It was
natural for tbe miners to object to
their places being taken, but in view
of ths special interest taken formerly
in tbe negroes of tbs South by tbe
abolitionists of Illinois, it is surprising
that tbair colored brothers should now
got a specially rudo reception.—Balti

A computation made by tbe Rail
way Aga for tbe Aral nine months of
tbe present year shows that nearly
2,000 miles of new roada were con
structed io tbe United Btatee. Il is a
notable fact that over one-half of thia
mileage ia diatributed among nioe
states and territories, of which all but
one are of the southwest They are
aa foliowa: Texan, 147 milea; Alabama,
145 milea; Arkansas, 130 milea; Louis
iana, 129 milea; Miaaouri, 117 milea;
Oklahoma, 105 milea Thia euatains

MUTUIL LIFEIiRUNCE CO.
OF NEW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
It tan always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa
ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banka, of Oonnecfacirt, the particulars
oi -Xh here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has m this in
stance eclipsed all previous dividend results:
Mr. Banks was insured for.. * ”12 028 00
The dividends amounted to >
Paid to the estate .$17,028.00
How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums m cash, and
he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilise any portion of the divv
dends in payment of premiums, hut permitted the Company to invest inese
for his benefit. Here are the particulars:
Policy No. 1,288. Issued March 5,1845. Ammint $5,000.
Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Lite rian. . i:
Original insurance in 1845, a rxi
Dindend additions paid in
Amount of death claim
54 Premiums paid by insured u ‘
Realized to estate over premiums paid °°
Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a half! (2|) per
cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from fo.vw
at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. „
The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums
paid for the insurance.
Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings
Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the
power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result ot
his method of investment—a result that has never been equalled by a policy
holder in any other company in the world.

A Prominent Phyalclan.
A prominent New York physician
In discussing the merits of Ripans
Tabulee with a brother M. D. said:
•• Several yean ago I asserted that
if one wished to become a philan
thopist, and do a beneficent deed
one that would help the whole hu
man race —nothing could be better
than to procure the Roosevelt Hos
pital prescription, teMeA ie the baeie
of the Rifaeu Tabulee, and cause it to
be put up in the form of a ketchup
and distributed among the poor.”
The largest retail drug store ia
America is that of Hegeman & Co.
on Broadway in New York City.
A reporter who went there to learn
how Ripans Tab
ulea were sellinc
bought a five-cent
carton and asked:
“Do you have
much call for
these?”
He wee referred
to a gentleman who
proved to be tbo
head of the depart
ment. Ho Mid:
The sale of' Ripaae TaTmles !•
constant and is increasing, due
especially tothe influential ch aracter
of tiietestimonials in the daily press,
and growing out of these, through
the recommendation of friend to
friend. Satisfaction with thorn is
very general When once they are
begun I notice that a perma-mt
customer for them la made. This, 1
believe, ia through their intrinsie
merit, which proves tbe bona fide
character of the advertising. I think
them specially useful in the general
run of atomach troublea.”

and who was known to be a wArm

case of liver trouble or indigestion,
said toareporte.’ who visited her for
the purpose of learning the particu
lars of her case: “ I had always
employed a physician and did so on
toe last occasion I had for one, but
at that tone obtained no beneficial
results. I had never had any faith
in patent medicines, but having seen
Rjpana Tabules reoommendedT very
highly in toe New York Herald con
cluded to give them a trial, and
found they were just what my case
demanded. I have never employed
a physician since, and that means a
