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 ing bio dilemma, exclaimed : "Begors ra, the place is lull I” —JIFSg 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.” Christinas Holiday Bates.

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.

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.

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.
