Acts that Speak.



d, CLAIM
From the Philadelphia Weekly Item.l
The prompt action of the Equitable Life
III deciding upon the Col. Dwight claim,
VIII % u long way toward restoring conf
dence IN life insurance, 1t is better than
all the sermons and promises that could be
preached or pledged. 1t imparts feeling
that the family that may hold claim
against that company Is just as well off W
though 1t had so much cash in bank.
THERE'S not a life insurance policy holder
IN tins country, we venture TO assert, but
had feeling Of satisfaction Mt the acton Of
the company, There is not one but prizes
his policy higher because of it. There has
been too much technical avoidance OF
promptnesson the part Of some companies in
settling their losses, and the public can not
be blamed for feeling a little sore and qucr-
rulous. The notorioly that the Dwight case
has attained, has made. the public pecu-
llary sensitive in this regard, for the
| shadows creeping our from the reports
the newspapers furnished, augurcd u Iong,
! odious and injurious law suit, in which
the full strength Of powerful corporations
would be lent to tesmifching the Character
OF man universally beloved throughout
the State OF New York as a gallant soldier
public spirited citizen and IN afftctionatc
and good husband and father, The excuse
Tor sucIl II course could shave been easily
invented am mutiphed. But with one
sweep OF the pen, all these shadows are
dispelIed and the public as one man IT,
loiccs as the Secretary Of the Equitable
announces that his. company has decided
to pay the $4,000 for which the life of
Coz. Dwight was'insurcd with it, The
sensational character given to the taking
of Of Col. Dwight, the large amount of
insurance held upon his life, the weight
OF the loss the company was called upon
to sustain all warranted it in making such
judicial investigation as ordinary prudence
and justice required, and it has won for
itself Unreasonable. honor, after having
satisfied itself that the loss was an honest
one. in not waiting to see what other com
panies might do, but in coming up to the
scratch and making the announcement il
has,
hpi'l'po VI 'iIN law liitt lIt Luullhbl'
will pay the widow Of Col Dwight $50
600, we would suggest that policy Of
insurance in such company yields the
estate of its possessor dollar for dollar ITS
full face. The experience of every man
demonstrates that Scarcely any other class
of Investment can have SO much claim
for 1t. After il has gone through the en-
ecutor's hands the amount paid to TIE heir,
and the amount nt which it was valued
by its former posscssor, leave room for
every margin. Again, a small sum invest
ed in life insurance will provide com
potency for ones family. If there are NO
debts, or mortgages or other claims to pay
off before the policy is paid that may eat
up all the interest the widow and children
may have in it, 1t is so much cash.
SETTLEMENT Of u long dispute, Physi-
clans have at last come to the conclusion
that the best medicine for teething children
is DR.. Bulls Baby Syrup.

Historic POstOffices.

Two United States postofices have
been established at placas of historic
note in Virginia. While there are
twenty. three Mount Vernons in The
United States that are postofices, the
one from which the name sprung has
been without postal facilities. The sub
iect was brought to the attention of Post
master-General Key few weeks ago,
and it being understood that the lady
regents desired a postofice there as a
convenience as well as for the business
of the Mount Vernon Association, and OF
the neighborhOod, arrangements were
made for an office, which was ordered
established. 1t is thought that the post
Office will derive some especial revenue
from visitors who will desire to send a
letter home direct from Mount Vernon.
Another postoffice on the same route
is also established at Gunston, Fairfax
county, former seat of George Mason,
the author of the Bill of Rights of Vir-
einia. Gunston is now owned by a
company, and a cooperative farm is
established there. 1t was here that

In the Laccadavies a species of rats
suddenly appeared, which, living in the
crowns of the palm-trees, nibbled off the
young nuts and threatened to ruin the
colony. The Indian government being
appealed to for aid sent over stock of
cats, but as the cats could get fish to
eat below, they declined to climb ninety
feet up the trees to get rats. Tree
snakes were then tried, but the villagers
were preiudiced against reptiles and
killed them. Then the government sent
out a consignment of mongooses, but
the mongooses declined to climb trees af-
ter rats while they could get chickens on
the ground. With cats and mongooses
on the ground refusing to ascend to the
rats, the officials decided that all that
was required was to make the rats de-
scend to the cats and mOngooses, so
they sent the islanders over some owls.
But they had overlooked the popular
prejudice against these birds, and in
committee assembled the people decided
that even rats up in the trees were better
than these "devil- birds" They accept
ed the birds in all apparent gratitude,
but as soon as the coast was clear, the
owls, cats and mOngooses were all con-
veyed in procession to a boat and SOL
emnly deported to on uninhabited reef.

MY LOST POCKET-BOOK.

My name is Edney-Philip Clement
Edney. That was my fathers name be-
re me. Twenty odd years ago he had
small but comfortable dry goods busi-
oss in Utica. But in the panic of 81
he met with severe losses; and he had
hardly weathered the financial storm
when he was taken down with a disease
from which he never recovered.
In his last illness he was deeply con-
cerned for the future of his family. ]
was the eldest son, and he frequently
expressed the hope to my mother and
to me that in some way we should be
able to find Harringford.
Thomas Harringford was a generous
hearted but rather unprincipled young
man who had been in my fathers employ
several years before.
He had got into bad company, and
was guilty of some irregularity, as the
modern genteel phrase is, having helped
himself to my fathers cash to the
amount OF several hundred dollars, be-
fore his dishonesty mean his irregular
ity-was discovered. lie was penitent,
and confessed everything, but it was
impossible for him to make restitution.
He had been q fayorite of both my
father and mother, and they could not
bear to have him sent to prison. So, ON
his promising to reform, lead au honest
life in future, and repay my father
when he was able the sums he had stolen
i mean nisappropriated-he was let
off.
He went to parts where he was un-
known, and only vague rumors concern
ing him had reached us since. One of
these rumors was that he had been seen
in Buffalo and Detroit, and that he was
doing prosperous business.
On settling up my fathers estate, my
mother found that she and her little
family were left in straitened circum-
stances. Then we remembered what he
had said about Harringford. 1 wrote to
him letters addressed Buffalo and De-
trOit, but failed to receive answers.
At last we were so mnch in need that l
said:
"Mother, if You can spare the money
for me TO make the journey, / believe
1 can find him, and get at least part
payment of what he owes us"
1t was long time before she would
listen to this proposal. She could i'll
afford the expense. Though we held
Harringford's note to my father, it was
outlawed, and she had not much faith in
my being able to get any)money of him,
even if he could be found in either of
the two cities named.
At last, however, thinking the journey
might do me some good, at any rate, she
consented to it, and in July 1 set out.
1 went first to Buffalo, where began
with the post-ofice and directory, but
without being able to find the man was
searching for there, proceeded to De-
troit No luck there either. / returned
TO Buffalo, stopping at Cleveland by the
way and finally gave up the search,
concluding that Harringford must have
gone elsewhere, and that the world was
too large a haystack for mo to hunt in
for such a needle.
