greatly in promoting the general health of
the city and in checking the ravages of cpl
demic diseases. The ordinance introduced at
$500 for this purpose, ought therefore to
be passed without further delay, and the
work of erecting the baths commenced i'm
mediately.
Whatever else is done, however, the i'm
provement of the condition of the Bedford
street district is a matter that demands
prompt action. Mr.. Long has been unceas-
ing in his exertions to improve the sanitary
condition of the neighborhood d, but he is
almost unprovided with funds, and is there
fore unable to carry out many of his plans.
We therefore hope that the concert to be
given on Thursday evening, May 12, at the
Academy of Music, for the benefit of the
Bedford Street Mission, will be literally
patronized. The entertainment promises to
be unusually attractive, and we'll worthy of
the consideration of the public for its own
sake. If large sum of money can be gained
by means of it, the objects of the mission will
be greatly promoted, and Mr.. Long will be
able to do much towards accomplishing his re-
forms. The money realized from the concert
it is proposed to devote to the increase of the
bathing accommodations at the mission, and
to the promotion of other important sanitary
objects. Those who may not be able or may
not be disposed to attend the concert can ex-
tend material aid and contribute to a most
deserving object by purchasing some of the
tickets and recommending the affair to their
friends. Every little helps, and this enter
tainment affords those who cannot give much
an opportunity to make small contributions
that will be most acceptable to those who are
engaged in the arduous work of fighting the

that the parties insured were therefore
entitled to the full amount of their
policy in his company, paid
that sum, without any abatement,
in thirty days after the loss The Imperial
Insurance Company consented to leave the
matter to arbitration, and full hearing of
the case Samuel N. Dixon, Esq, acting as
Judge of the arbitration, and George Nor
throp and Thomas ]. Diehl being counsel for
Joseph f. Tobias q Co., and George w.
Biddle and John Samuel counsel for the I'm
perial Insurance Company resulted in an
award to the insured of the full amount
claimed, which decision was promptly COM
piled with. Notwithstanding the voluntary
payment by the Franklin Insurance Company
and the subsequent action of the Imperial
Insurance Company, we understand that the
Insurance Company of the State of Pennsyl-
vania still declines to adjust the loss on any
other basis thsn the payment Of seventy five
per cent of the amount claimed In view of
the high character of the officers of that
institution, we should be greatly astonished
at this course if a similar policy was
not SO frequently persued that it has
almost ceased to be matter of
surprise. AS practical result, this system
encourages many parties who are insured to
claim, after fire, greater amount of dam
ages than they have actually suffered, and in
the end we believe the insurance companies
will lose more than they will gain by endeav-
oring to secure an abatement of Just claims.
For the common good of all parties, il is to
be regretted that elimination and recrimina-
tlons are of such frequent occurrence. In
surance is one of the most benefcent of
modern institutions, but its full advantages
can only be realized when it is so thoroughly
understood and CO npletely systematized that
it affords, in all cases, beyond all doubt or
equivocation, absolute security for the full
amount of damage that is nominally covered
by the policies.

pestilence.

This well-kwnown citizen died at noon to-
day, at his residence on Grard street.
Franklin Peale was born in this city in the
year 1875, and had consequently attained the
good old age of seventy-five years at the time of
his death. He was q son of Charles Wilson
Peae, the founder of Peale's Museum and cele-
brated as a portrait painter, as was also his
elder brother, Rembrandt. who died about ten
years ago. The artistic talent which was so
marked in many members of the family had not
been denied him, but he did not fancy labor at
the easel, and in early life turned his attention
to natural history, the greater number of pre-
served specimens of birds, ETC., in his fathers
museum having been the result of his skill in
this department. The museum was his con-
slant resort, and in it he passed the greater por
tion of his youth
In 1888 Mr.. Peale was appointed to the posi-
tion of Assistant Assayer in the United States
Mint in this city. Shortly after receiving his
appointment he was sent on an official visit to
Europe by the Government, to study the work.
ing of the mints in the different countries of the
world. Nearly two years were devoted to this
task, and when Mr.. Peale returned to this couu-
try he had gathered much Information upon the
methods of coinage which was of value, as we'll
as elaborate drawings of the improved ma
chinery in use in the mints at Paris and London
As the result of his travels abroad, numerous
improvements were introduced into our Mint
and found of such permanent value that they
are still in vogue. Mr.. Peale remained in con-
nection with the Mint until 1854, filling in sue
cesson the positions of Assistant Assayer
Melter and Refner, and Chief Coiner.
Mr.. Peale was twice married, his first wife
dying few years after the birth of daughter,
who is still living. His second wife, who sur
wives him, was an heir of Stephen Girard, and
in consequence of this alliance he became in
terested in the numerous attempts which were
made to overthrow the will of the philanthro-
pist. After his retirement from the Mint he
took no part in public affairs, but earned a
handsome competency by fortunate transactions
in the stock market. For some years previous
to his death he resided on Girard street. be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth. He was a man of
great energy and frmness, and his many fine
qualities of head and heart had endeared him to
q large circle of friends.

now INDIAN WARS ARE EXCITED.

HOW INDIAN WARS ARE EACIIBD.
A FAIR illustration of the manner in which
hostilities between the Indians and whites
are fomented is given in the case of the
Neosho Valley Railroad Company, which in
spite of the existing treaties with the savages
have commenced grading ten miles into the
Indian country, with the declared intention of
building the road without waiting fer further
Legislation from Congress, or without asking
the consent of the Indians. 1t is expected
that this will give rise to trouble, and no
doubt it will, and the Government should
take prompt measures to put stop to the
operations of this company and show the
savages that there is disposition to see JUS
tice done them. The existence of Indian
reservations is doubtless great impediment
to the improvement of portions of the
West, and our sympathies in case of
this kind are with the railroad COM
pany and with others who find themselves
obstructed and annoyed in carrying out en-
terprises of importance by the necessity that
exists for the maintenance of extensive Indian
hunting-grounds. There is only one policy,
however, that the Government can pursue in
the matter, and that is to protect the Indians
from being annoyed by the white men who
neither know nor care anything about treaties,
and who are only intent upon promoting
their own interests. In no other way can
constant hostilities upon the plains be pre-
vented; and while the strong arm of the mill
tary must, if necessary, pursue and punish
the savages who engage in murder and rapine,
it must also prevent the whites from provok-
ing the Indian wrath by encroaching upon
them. The difficulty, however, of doing this
is increasing year by year, and doubt
less before long it will be practically
impossible to keep back the tide
of civilization, and there is an
urgent demand that steps should be taken to
instruct the savages in the arts of civilization,
and to teach them how to earn their living in
q decent way. The success that has attended
the efforts to civilize some of the tribes is en-
couraging, and much more might be done if
attempts are made in the right way. 1t will
be impossible however, to do great deal, un-
less disposition is shown to maintain existing
agreements, and, as measure of peace and
to prevent murderous retaliation by the
savages the Government ought to interfere
promptly to prevent the construction of rail
roads in the Indian Territory, no matter how
essential they may appear to be to the i'm
movement of the country.

The PERns OF INsURANCE.-We have
frequently referred to the necessity of
extreme caution on the part of persons
who insure property against loss by fire, in
the examination of their policies. Many
man who thinks himself fully insured dis
covers after disaster that either failure to
specify some of the articles destroyed or
qualifying and restrictive clauses furnish
valid pretext for a refusal to award the full
amount of damages. Thus defective
policies are rendered nearly as
hazardous as total avoidance of
insurance, and the guarantees of insurance
companies become delusion and snare
Hundreds of enterprising citizens have been
ruined by neglect to comprehend the full
scope of their policies, and by lulling them
selves into false sense of security, and SINH
lar dangers will continually be incurred until
the necessity of specifying every article that
insurers wish to have covered, and the inn
portance of comprehending the printed con-
ditions of the respective companies, are fully
understood.
A case arising from the disastrous fire at
the Patterson warehouse in August, 1863, also
illustrates other dangers, delays, and incon-
veniences to which the insured are frequently
subjected by the insurers That building was
composed of eight sections, ranging from A
to III. Some of the insurance companies
asserted that the wall of section H fell before
the fire occurred, and if they could have
clearly proven that the goods stored in that
section had been destroyed by the destruc-
tion of the building instead of fire, they might
have had valid defense. From the outset,
however, they manifested disposition to
compromise the damages, by paying from
fifty to seventy-tive per cent of the
amount claimed, and a settlement on this
basis was accepted by some of the parties
who had goods stored in section H. Messrs
Joseph f. Tobias & Co., however, who had
property valued at $50,eOO stored in this ill
fated building which was insured to the
amount of $45, 900, viz, $4,000 in the Frank
lin Insurance Company, $4,000 in the In
surance Company of the State of Pennsylya-
MIA, and $50, 600 in the Imperial Insurance of
London, declined an offer of the two last
named companies to compromise their claims
for seventy-five per cent, and insisted upon
the full amount. The President of the
Franklin Insurance Company, Alfred G..
Baker, after carefully examining all the fac's,
was satisfied that fire had occurred be- ore
the walls of the building fell, and belle ing

BEDFORD STREET.

The condition of the Bedford street district
is we'll calculated to create great alarm, and it
is of the highest Importance that something
should be done for its publication before the
hot weather sets in. There appears to be no
doubt whatever that the relapsing fever has
really made its appearance, and some mea-
sures must be taken to check the progress of
this disease if it is hoped to prevent its
spreading to all sections of the city. This is
q matter that cannot be trified with, and the
necessity for prompt and efficient action is
urgent. Mr.. Long, the indefatigable mission
ary, has been persistent in urging upon the
Board of Health, the city authorities, and
the public the Importance of improving the
sanitary condition of Bedford street, and
with such means as he could command he
has done all in his power to carry on the
great work. single clergyman who has to
labor almost alone, and almost empty handed,
can do comparatively little towards reforming
either the moral or physical evils of Bedford
street. and he ought to have the active CO.
operation of the city authorities and the
public at large. Independently of any humani-
tartan considerations, this is a subject in
which every one is interested and the safety
of the people of this great city ought not to
be perilled by such breeding place for
disease as is Bedford street and the adjoining
courts and alleys Not only ought the
streets, the houses, and the alleyways
to be cleaned as thoroughly as possible,
but there ought to be a general purifca-
tion of the inhabitants The Bedford
Street Mission has ample facilities for
bathing accommodations, but it is entirely
without the means of carrying on bathing
establishment, and it requires the sum of
$500 Immediately for this purpose. This
money ought to be forthcoming without a
moments delay, upon the mere intimation
that it is needed, for raking up the garbage in
the streets will do but little good SO long as
the people are allowed to remain in their pre-
sent filthy condition. Not only should bath
ing facilities be provided, but if it is neces-
sary those who need washing should be COM
PEELED to use the baths. The average Ameri-
can citizen undoubtedly has right under
ordinary circumstances to wash himself or not
as he chooses, but the right to breed disease
is not one of those guaranteed by republi-
can form of government, and the exercise of
a little wholesome despotism is what is
greatly needed in Bedford street and vicinity.
In this connection, too, we again urge the
importance of erecting a series of free public
baths on our river fronts at the earliest posi-
BILE day. Many persons who really sosire to
keep themselves clean are not able to perform
their ablutions in a thorough manner for
want of proper facilities. Free public baths
will not only add much to the comfort of a
large portion of the population during the
hot months of summer, but they will aid

THE VITAL STATISTICS OF MASSACHUSETTS.
records OF births, deaths, and marriages in Massa-
chusetts during the past year develop some curious
facts. comparison between the marriages OF
American and foreign-born persons in the State and
the births in the families of the same extraction
show that while there were twice as many "Ameri-
can" as foreign" marriages, there were moie chill
dren born OF the latter parentage than of the former
In Boston the two classes Of marriages were about
equal In number; but the births OF foreign were
to OF American parentage. Yet the total number
of births the largest ever reported. Twins must
be scarce, for the plurality births was not in So
The number of marriages has diminished, being less
than In either last year or year before; but there
need be no encouragement to those seeking tender
tie, as it is recorded that maiden of 3S years be-
came the sixth wife OF gentleman OF 65, and there
were three instances of marriage at ages exceeding
so. On the whole, the population of Massachusetts
is increasing at the rate OF 20 persons day. and il
half OF them settle in Boston, moiety Of its present
inhabitants may live to see-abstractly considered
very considerable CITY, something like New York
twenty or thirty years ago.
A CHARMING proposal has been made by an Aus
trlan Church paper by which the poverty OF the
priests is to be relieved and the gratitude of the
children of Abraham made manifest. 1t suggests
that as the latter not only make their money out OF
Christians but are specially indebted to the priest
hood for preaching the sacredness OF property they
should give literally OF their substance to help those
who are at once their victims and their defenders
In fact the simplest plan would be to impose spe-
cial tax on the Jews for the support OF those
churches which are most in need and no doubt the
gratitude Of the recipients would be shown in the
fervor of their prayers for the conversion OF their
benefactors.

The elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
and Nebraska have been carried by the
Radicals by reduced majorities. Their
success is mainly due to the additions to
thier party from the enfranchisement of
negroes, and the exclusion of white voters
by means of unfair and unconstitutional
registration and naturalization laws, to
which the interference of u. S. marshals
and soldiers may be added. They have
not, however, with all these aids, been able
to hold their own. The Democrats have
gained four Congressman in Pennsylvania,
and several more in the other States, they
have also elected the entire State ticket in
Indiana by 1000 majority.

Senator Schurz, of Missouri, favors the
election of Brown, for Governor, instead
of MoClurg. The first is Conservative
Republican, the latter bigoted Radical.
General Grant is the friend of McClurg,
and all the Senator's friends are to be
removed from Office in Missouri. This
will make the contest extremely bitter,
and assure the defeat of McClurg by a
heavy majority. The President is inter-
fering in the contest in an open manner,
and using all the power of his administra-
tion for partisan purposes. This is the
Radical idea of a Republican form of gov
ernment.

Called hence by early doom,
Just came TO show how sweet a flower
In Paradise could bloom
A tear within a fathers eye,
A mothers sobbing heart,
Can only tell in agony
How hard it is to part.
A light is from our household gone,
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our home,
