The accident* which happened to

The Philadelphia Record says:
•‘Major General Wheeler’s preference
for an army life to the life of a mem
ber of congress seems likely to result
in the lose to the country of his ser
vice as a representative in tbe federal
legislature' 1 Men of "Fighting Joe’s"
stamp are needed in the house, and he
could serve his country better in stick
ing to civil life than in the inglorious
activity of military routine duty in
time of peace. He was not cutout for
a mere ornamental, epuletted appen
dage of a temporarily inflated military
establishment.”
The Pittsburg Dispatch *aya : "Gen.
Shafter’s opinion of th® Cubans in re
lation to self government is probably
based sipon the theory of Col Robt G.
Ingerioll, that "if a colony of New
England preachers and Yankee school
ma’ams were established in the West
lodes, tbo third generation would be
seen riding horseback on Bunday to
th,®bock fights” But there is nothing
to Indicate that either Gen. Shafter’s
or Col. Ingersoll’s opinion are infalli
ble. At least, Gen. Wood is succeed
ceeding much better with the Cubans
than Gen. Shafter did.”
Th* more we know of Dewey, the
larger he looms up. It was be, after
all, who mad*, the plan for turning
back Camara’s fleet after it bad started
lor the Philippines. 'lf the coast of
Spain were threatened,” he cabled the
department at Washington, "tbe
squadron of tbe enemy would have to
return.” Then the flying squadron
under Watson was formed, and Cama
ra sailed back home again. Command*
er Mori of tbe Japanese navy said of
Dewey recently that he was in tbe
claw with Lord Nelson, and added:
“But b* is not only a great naval offi
cer; be is also a great statesman’*
And it seems that Commander Mori is
about right.—Savannah News.

. t)fo un*eraihnd that Mr. Arthur Schoen!
dt Gonefa, Switzerland, has anooeeded in
the manufacture of sapphires; no imita
tion made of glass, but pure crystallized
aluminium. This result he has reached
after 14 months of laborous experiment
ing. He la now carrying on experiments,
which he believes will be successful, for
the similar production of emeralds and
ruble*.
Mr. Schoen! assert* that tbe only differ
ence between hi* products and those of na
ture is one of hardness, his sapphire* hav
ing about two-thirds the natural resisting
power. However, a* color and brilliancy
are the important requisites of such pre
cious stones, used for ornament, tbe in
ventor believes that bls products wUI find
a ready sale at good prices.
Mr. Schoen! is not rich and has been
enabled to carry on his experiments by
money earned through the invention some
years ago of new processes of manufactur
ing some of the colors employed in the
celebrated Geneva enamel work at one
fifth or one-sixth their former cost. Sev
eral Geneves* gentlemen interested in his
work have also lent him kindly aid. He
is now anxious to establish a laboratory
foe the practical manufacture of his gem*,
but find* that Geneva capitalists demand
too large a share offthe prospective profits.
Should he receive sufficient inducement
he is anxious to come to the United
State*. —Manufacturer.
A Touch la K Bit of Patriotism.
A gentlemap who was sailing up and
down the coast last summer in his yacht
told me that one day he put into Glouces
ter and had no sooner come to anchor than
he noticed that all the flags in the town
were flying at half mast. He had had no
opportunity to hear the news for two or
three days and was inclined by the half
masting of the flags to suppose that some
public man had died in the interval. Per
haps some general had fallen in the war,
he fancied. He lost no time in going
ashore and making Inquiry. Then he
learned that all those signs of mourning
were for a private soldier belonging in (
Gloucester who had died in the service of
the country and -whose body had been
brought home for burial. The yachtsman
was much impressed by this incident. As
a man who had traveled abroad he felt
sure that in no other country would the
flags of a whole city be half masted a* a
token of mourning at the death of a com
mon soldier, and he was proud of the pub
lic sentiment, at once intensely patriotic
and sincerely and unconsciously demo
cratic, which prompted such an honor.—

MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE GO.
OF NEW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
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 LIFE has in this in
stance eclipsed all previous dividend results:
Mr. Banks was insured for 15’222'22
The dividends amounted to ..12,028.00
Paid to the estate • • • $17,028.00
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
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, $5»000-
Dividend additions paid in 1898, :
Amount of death claim I Z’??2’22
54 Premiums paid by insured 8,640.00
Realized to estate over premiums paid SB.BBB 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 premium*
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 world.
For beat plans of insurance please consult me.
