is the aid which has been recently
given to Madame Schwabe's charity
schools in Naples from the kings

hundred dollars annually has been
promised her, and this is only one
out of many cases of charity. These
schools deserve the attention which

The North America Life.

A combination of the North America Life
Insurance Company's policy-holders has been
formed to take the management Of the com
pany out of the hands of the receiver and
conduct it in their interests and according to
the requirements Of the charter. The move
is under the direction of eX-Superintendent
Barnes, who says that the institution, II it
can obtain it's own, is solvent. In 1874 the
Universal Life Insurance Company gave the
officers of the North America Life 100000 to
resign their positions, and the officers of the
former became policy-holders and directors.
They at once began to dismantle the North
America, and in 1876 changed nearly ten
thousand policies from the latter to the Uni
versal Life and seized the reserve upon the
same.
The charter Tof the North America provid-
ed that, whenever the profits should warrant
the purchase of the capital stock. the COM
pany should henceforth be a mutual concern,
the profits to be distributed among the policy
holders. The capital stock was bought and
Cancelled in 1869 Mr. Furber of the Unver-
sal, however, joined in with his company.
One OF the policy holders began a suit to
compel the management to run the company
according to the requirements Of its charter
Mr. Furber saw there was danger of q re-
ceiver being appointed to do this, therefore he
applied for receiver himself. He made the
request, the superintendent examined the
company and the receiver was appointed, all
In one day
stayed all suits against the company unless
the receiver was made party to the suit
disappointment Barnes made motion
before Chief Justice DAILY to make the re-
,ceiver a party to the suit of yiolette Bedell
against the company, and Judge DAILY has
4 just decided that he has the power to do so,
and that the receiver must obey the pro-
cesses or orders Of any court Of competent
jurisdiction in the State, and he substituted
Receiver Pierson for the company in this suit
After repeatedly begging for time, the re-
,ceiver put in no defense to the action except
ing general demurrer to the entire com
plant, and this defense Mr. Barnes has
moved to strike out as frivolous.
EThe North America Life has deposited in
albany 100000 in bonds and mortgages
This is the reserve intact upon a al the regis
have been weeded out there is nothing to
hinder the business from being continued, al
though Receiver Person has decided to ac-
cept no more premiums.
Policy holders in all parts of the country
have joined in the movement, and Mr.. Barnes

of time only.-IN. Y. Sun

- 4 l. A L. 4 L

The warlike McCrary comes to the
rescue Of Mr.. Key, and declares that he
did not abase himself, as has been rep
resented. in his Bennington speech, but
that he used the expression "erring
brethren" merely In jest, and that it
was 80 understood by the crowd, which
received it with a good humored laugh.
This explanation does not agree as we'll
as the general construction placed upon
the expression with the tenor Of his ut
terances on other occasions. But IL he
has been talking in jocular way all
along, instead Of provoking sympathy
and pardon, he merits even greater re-
buke than he has received, because Of
the mournful character Of his humor.

The Insurance Monitor suggests wisely a
fire code, with provisions as follows: A sound
building law, preventing the erection of TN
safe carelessly built houses. A provision en-
forcing thorough carefulness, and complete
police regulations as Up safety. A provision
requiring examination into the character and
circumstances Of every fire; it's cause, If pos
sible, to be ascertained, and all fraud, il any,
disclosed. The officer conducting said exami-
nation to sit as court, take testimony, keep
a record, ETC.; and where there is reasonable
ground for suspecting fraud or violation of
law, the suspected party to be bound over to
the next criminal court for trial To forbid
any insurance company paying any loss until
such examination be had, and the said officer
issues his certificate freeing the Interested
parties from any suspicion of fraud, or such
trial be had and an acquittal be obtained.
Also that any fraud forfeits all claim of the
insured against the insurer.

How many realize that loss by fire is an
absolute loss; just SO much taken from the
wealth of the community beyond re-
placement? The people need to be educated
on this point. Over 100000, 600 in property is
destroyed by fire annually in the United
States. So much taken beyond taxation, and
necessarily tax rates increase. Has that q
pleasant look? But what can I do? asks one !;
build better, safer houses; see that laws are
enacted stringent laws-as to responsibility
for fires, and what is better, enforce them Let
insurance men take hold Of this matter and
do what they can to make public sentiment
in the premises. A healthy public sentiment
is universal blessing.

JACK. Translated from the French of Al
phonse Daudet Estes II Loriat, Boston;
J. G. Eyrieh, 100 Canal street.
To an English reader, this novel must prove
q strange puzzle. The story is essentially
French, every character i'm it from beginning
to end is French, French viewed from a French
standpoint, and yet with every page he must
find some strange hidden likeness to Dickens
"a likeness he can scarce himself explain;
Mr. Daudet has evidently read Dickens, ana
translated him into French, into French char
acters, incidents and ideas. Jack is q queer
cross between Oliver Twist and David Cop
perfield, Monroval might pass easily for @
French Squeers, Ida de Baraney is David
Copperfield's mother once again, ana poor
Madou is q queer Gallo-Afrlcan oiI i
and not few OF the incidents OF the story
strike us as similar. The character drawing
and the humor throughout is well worthy OF
Dickens happiest efforts, although beng es-
sentially French, it is without his English
broadness and exaggeration Inc story, IN
esting in this light. That Dickens, style and
stories, the most English of English Of
stories should not be suited to french taste
Is not to be wondered at; but that Mr.. Da,l-
Diet should write in the same style, much the
same story, with similar moral, and meet
with the success that has greeted him, is in
deed extraordinary.
