Gov Elect Roosevelt of New York, driven to desperation by the army of office seekers by whom he is besieged, has issued this notice: “No person, no matter who he may be, need come to see me hereafter unless be has an «p --ft £ poiolment. Polygamy seems likely to become a living issue once more. The New ’fork World says: "The Mormons control Utah. They believe in polygamy with a fanatical server. There is nothing to prevent them from writing their cop’’ctioos into law. Utah has not yet, as a state, legalised plural mar riage. But the men who control the etale believe in it and many of them practice it. How long will it be before a polyamous majority will record its decrees on the statute books? The Philadelphia Record says: “In the entire United States there are but eight milifoiy departments, whereas Cuba, With a total area and population ■not greater than Alabama, is to be divided iuto seven departments. There is no occasion lor thia undue multipli cation of places held by appointment in the military service, unless, indeed, the leeches, ignoramuses and sons of fathers who Came to the surface by war office favor in the recent war are to keep their positions of advantage at the public crib?* The Macon Evening News jobs its pencil in Atlanta's ribs in the following editorial: “It transpiries, after al), that some consideration was shown the Presidential parly in Atlanta and that they were not entirely ignored, as re ported. It is said that during the floral parade, in which Mrs. McKinley participated in an open carriage, it was very chilly, and she was suffering visibly from the weather. Her car riage being forced to pause just alter having left the arch, Aunt Martha, an old Atlanta ntgresa, went forward and placed a hot brick under Mrs Mc- Kinley’s feet, saying a word about her health as she did so. Thus has Allan ta’e reputation been redeemed ’’ Says the Philadelphia Ledger: The trusts are ready to step in and exploit our new possessions The North American Commercial Compa ny, with a capital of 114,000,000, has been incorporated “to purchase, ac quire and manufacture raw agricuhu. ral products of the United States and the West Indies, and to sell tbo same, and to purchase and operate factories and agencies.’’ Its prospectus sounds a good deal like the Honorable East India Company, which undertook to exercise much the same kind of civili sing influence in that part of the world, and monopolised the whole of the East India trade. The history of that country does not encourage the United Slates to build up its counter part at this day, and in this phere. Christmas Holiday Rates.

Speaking of strange and sad occur rences, none could be more remarkable than the death and burial of Charles (Tartar, a well known farmer residing near Russell. He was cleaning out an old well when the quicksand suddenly caved in on him, leaving only his head and chest' exposed. When the alarm was given, hundreds of people assem bled and went heroically to work to save their neighbor. It was found that nothing could be done toward removing the sand about Carter’s body, so a par allel well was dug and a tunnel run from it into the old well, but even then - the body could not be removed so close ly was it grasped by the sands. It was ’ found that a rope attached below Car ter’s arms would pull the body into parts without withdrawing its covered portion, and that method had to be abandoned. Carter was conscious and talked with his rescuers, but at the end of 58 hours he died. By this time an enormous crowd had gathered, and all sorts of plans were suggested for recov ering the body, but finally it was de termined to make the well the dead man’s tomb, and it was filled up after ( religious services had been held upon its brink. The well was 48 feet deep; > and perhaps no other Kansan ever found quite so strange a burial place.—(Rjui sas City Journal. Winter.Tourirt Tickets.

It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy.issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIhE has in this in stance eclipsea all previous dividend results: Mr. Banks was insured for • The dividends amounted t0 ..12,028.00 Paid to the estate How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and he did thin for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. Age 40. - Annual premium, <l6O. Life Plan. Original insurance in 1845 Dividend additions paid in 1898,12/J28.00 Amount of death claim 54 Premiums paid by insured 8,640.00 Realized to estate over premiums paid <8.388.00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2|) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from <5,000 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 of his method of investment—a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.
