sanity. In the opinion of the police
authorities, it is quite evident from
her action and statements, both prior

this terrible, bloody episode on the

ago, and that the arrest upon which
the action for false Imprisonment is
based was judicious movement and
thoroughly defensible, no matter from

given shortly after the occurrence, is
that two men, one of them W. H. Wei
don, and slim, one-armed man called
at the door Of the State Capitol and
asked to see Mr.. Packard. There was
some demur about admitting them,
when one proclaimed himself to be an
ex.federal officer, and the other dis
charged soldier. They were brought
to the head OF the stairs. The name of
Joseph Huttle was in, but the one.

Family Jars,

Judge Wilson, of the Police Court, has
hit upon splendid method that will
put stop to good deal OF the family
chickering's that daily occur in tenement
houses and densely inhabited courts and
alleys, and that finally come to be heard
On their merits in the court room. As it
Invariably happens, cloud Of witnesses 8
sre heard on both sides, which runs the
eostsup to a big figure. His Honor hears
all the testimony and at the end OF 1t all
dismisses the action, but assesses the
costs equally between the plaintiff and
defendant. This touches the pocket and
both sides are willing to quit. The
Cther day a woman had a female neigh
Dor arrested on the charge OF disorderly
conduct. The case was dismissed, but
the costs mad to be settled by each
equally. The accused happened 10 have
enough money TO pay her share, but the
prosecuting witness was compelled to
lay In cell Until her friends made uI
the amount.

Trouble between Two Nef&hDor.
ing Families.
Mr.. Fred. Hillman aud Mr.. Leopold
Mushaben are two families living in
houses adjoining each other on Calhoun
street, in Corryville. Tney seem to be
at loggerheads with each other, and have
jealously been watching each others
movements tor some time.
The cause of the difficulty between
them Is not definitely known.
Their troubles came to crisis yester-
day, when Mr.. Mu haben's wife came
into her poultry.yard aud found that six
Of her chickens and two domestic
pigeons were lying cold and stark In
death. A lot OF poisoned food was scat
tered over the ground, and 1t at once
beamed on her mind that her pet fowls
and birds had been poisoned by heI
neighbors, the Hilmans.
She set up a fearful vail and notified
her husband. A council OF war followed,
and after lengthy deliberation The
Mushabens notified Mr.. Joseph l.. Smith,
the Agent of the Society for Prevention
Of Cruelty to Animals, Of the status
bslL. Mr.. Smith promptly swore ouL d
warrant and had The Hil!mans ARE sted
on charge Of cruelty to animals. The

rant on their own responsibility for the

pigeons were held in their estimation.

Best Management Always Wins,

Success in every branch OF business,
especially those connected with finance,
can only be secured by good man age
ment, and those who succeed best are
those who possess the highest ability in
this direction. Successful management
requires extra care, perseverance and
close application, strict integrity and
honesty OF purpose.
1t is not always the company or indl-
yidual that transacts the largest busi-
ness, that attains the greatest success,
but the one that secures the largest net
profit in proportion TO the amount ill.,
vested or AT rIsk.
This principle applies to the business
of Life Insurance as well as to others OF
a financial character.
The history of Life Insurance Com
panies aud Banks demonstrates that one
having comparatively small business
may be just as solvent, just as able to
meet all its obligations and just as hon.
estly and economically conducted as
one of large proportions.
The true test is integrity and skill in
management, by which alone prosper
GUS and useful company may be built
upon a moderate income. In fact it has
been seriously doubted by some whether
very large Life Company can be as
smaller one, hence many are preferring
those of the latter class.
The results officially given of the life
business Of forty-four leading American
companies for the year 1875 plainly prove
which are the best managed.
One company may have higher
ratio Of expenses than another by rea
son OF its new, in proportion to its tota
business, being larger, or 1t may expend
more in order 10 secure the best of Sc
lected lives; therefore the true test o.
good management should be the rate o.
total losses and expenses to each 500 o
premium receipts. The one ranking frs
in this respect is the most economical il
management and careIul in it's selection
OF risks, matter of the first Importance
to policy-holders in Mutual Company
Tor the lower the rate OF mortality the
greater are the returns in dividends.
Experience proves that by careful Sc
lection the real cost OF insurance can be
reduced one-half, and we note with pride
that we have in our own city Lie In
surance Company whose management
during the past ten years has been such
| that IL now ranks, among torty-iour Of
| the leading Lie Companies of this coun
| Try, AS the hrst in the combined requi
sites of economy in management and care
| fall selection OF risks.
| Marked success generally incites jeal
Ousy, and those individuals or com
panies that are most successful must ex
pect to be attacked by less fortunate
rivals, and the experience OF our owl
home company has been no exception il
this respect, but such persecution viii
only stimulate its established prospect
