The Prince of Walea is colonel of
thirteen Britiab regiments, the Duke
of Connaught eight, the Duke of 1 ork
three, and the Duke of Cambridge
eight. These, of course, include reg
ulars, volunteers and yeomanry, and
most of the positions are honorary.
Al a performance of "Faust” in
Cork Ireland,the gentleman who acted
the part of Mephistopbeles was so
stout that the trap-door was too small
to permit his descent to the infernal
regions, and all of bis person above
the waist was still visible over the
stage. One-of the gallery gods, notic

Senator Chandler and Senator Till
man, the two "fire eaters” of the Sen
ate, are great chums, says the Wash
ington correspondence of the New
York World. They can usually be
found at the same table at luncheon,
and many times during the session
Senator Chandler walks over to Sena
tor Tillman’s eeat and they sit togeth
er, laughing and talking. Senators
who have noticed their foudnesss for
each other have often wondered why
they are such good friends. “They
eat fire out of the same shovel,” said
a Democratic senator today, “and
drink vitriol from the same vial.”
By bis recent utterances in the state
President McKinley has pul himself
at the front of the expansionists. Com
menting on this the Philadelphia Rec
ord says: "Having indissolubly cons
nected himself with the policy which
has led on to the conquest of new ter
ritory, the President should now make
haste to perfect such a system of civil
service lor their future government as
will be desperately needed the moment
military rule shall be succeeded by lees
arbitrary methods. The greatest dan
ger involved in the possession of the
islands acquired from Spain lies in the
prospect that, instead of governing
their inhabitants with a view to their
advantage, the islands may fio turned
over to the tender mercies of political
adventurers.”
The Charleston News and Courier
pays a graceful compliment to Savan
nah in connection with the visit of the
President, Mrs. McKinley and party.
The News and Courier says; "They
did not slay long enough in Montgom
ery, Macon, Augusta and Columbia to
receive any proper impression of the
richness aud sweetness of the courtesy
of the people of those charming towns,
but they were in Savannah for two
days and must have caught something
of the spirit of courtesy which charac
terizes the true South—a courtesy that
does not count the gate receipts, which
is always gentle because it holds i|pelf
above the 'prices current* of the mar
ket place We are all indebted to the
people of Savannah for the exqusite
manner in which they entertained the
President, who must have left them
with a higher and better appreciation
of Southern manners and Southern
hospitality than be had ever known.”

The United States govern meal
shaves its seniors; likewise cuts their
hair and trims their whiskers, rays the
Washiuglpo correspondent of the New
York World. Three negroes, one draw
ing 11,000 per annum end the others
receiving SB4O apiece, are paid to keep
our senators well groomed as to tfiiD
beads. No one has ever been able th
tall precisely why the government
looks after the personal appearance of
its senators. As the disbursing officers
of the Benaie said today, this is the
custom which hss prevailed from time
immemorial. It is assumed that the
custom la adhered to for there is a pre
cedent for it, and the Senate is wedded
to precedents. If Clay, Webster and
CAlhoun Lad worn their bats in the
Senate it is sale to assume that fbe
Senators of this dsy would have fol
lowed their lead. The Senate barber
ebop is on the ground floor of the
building and is handsomely fitted op.
Each senator has a certain hour to be
shaved, at.d the barber never baa to
strain hie vocal cords by calling
"Next I” Over on the House side
things are different. Representatives
pay for their accommodations, and as

A rich Widow in a town not far from
Winter Harbor was making arrangements
for the marriage of her daughter, when
the Methodftt conference met in that town
and SO ministers came to attend it She
invited them all to the wedding, and, her
pastor belonging to that denomination,
■hn expressed to him a wish that the cere
mony be arranged so that they could all
participate. The dominie thought the
matter over and told her that he could de
vise no scheme by which her wish could
be gratified. He did not see how the mar
riage service could be out«p into 81 seg
ments, and, furthermore —and he express
ed it as delicately as possible—he did not
think the members of the conference
would consider it dignified to engage in
any such performance.
As the widow was a person of great im
portance, ho had to treat her gingerly.
She is the largest contributor to the sup
port of the church, and the parson expect
ed a handsome fee for hitching her daugh
ter to the most eligible young man in
town. Hence he promised to consult with
some of the brethren and see her later, but
she did not wait for him. She took mat
ters into her own hands and formed a
plan that at least had the merit of origi
nality. She went direct to the presiding
elder, invited him to perform the cere
mony and suggested that after he bad pro
nounced the couple man and wife all ths
members of the conference stand up in a
row before the pulpit and recite the Lord’s
Prayer in unison.—Chicago Record.

MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE GO.
OF NEW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
It haw 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 LIFE has in this in
stance eclipsed all previous dividend results:
Mr. Banka was insured for M 2 ™
The dividends amounted to
Paid to the estate
How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and
he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi
-1 dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these
for his benefit. Here are the particulars:
Policy No. 1288. Issued March 5,1845. s s > ooo -
Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan.
Originaunsurance in 1845,
Dividend additions paid in 1898, 12,028.00
Amount of death claim ' ’22
54 Premiums paid by insured ___
Realized to estate over premiums paid $8,888.00
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 nis 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 wdHd.
For best plans of insurance please consult me.
