ord. Organized IN June, 1919, with capital stock OF
S50000. This was increased to S300000 in 1919, and
lS54 to S500000. Its assets were then S773o73. In

then being Sii1s,l0o. Five years later ls7 its

enable its business to resume their business and
start atresh. More than 40 companies failed in this
fire alone, but the Ktna built shanty the burnt
district before the bricks were cold, aud paid every
loss against them as fast presented at sight Not
yearater came the Boston fire and losses to the
Etna amounting 10 81 ,d0i,3i9 which were promptly

When board of eminent physicians and

combining some well known valuable rene

THE MORAL NORTH.

Sprasue is the ex-senator from Rhode
Island. Conkling is the Senator from New
York. They have fallen into the hands of
the scandal>loving public. And thereat the
Radical press has not very much to say
: Oh if they were only Southern men of prom
inepce! Oh if tho woman in the case was
only a Southern woman How the whole
matter would be rolled like sweet morsel
under the polluted tongue of the Radical
press What howl would go up from the

Murray of Boston, tho far famed preacher
of the land of moral ideas he, too, has fallen,
and the sheriff hunts him and his fair COM
panion (who is not his wife) in vain among
the Adiroudacks. Aud the Courier Journal
is still able to CLEAN column after column of
atrocities committed in the State of Ohio.
Isn't it about time that tho Northern press
and the Northern people should weed in their
own garden little? Does not the news of
4" murder and rapine in the South begin to
lose itself in the police reports of Northern
cities7 Call of the dogs, please, and let
them follow the game that skulks at your
very doors. Remove, just for one moment,
yo far sighted phianthropitts of Now Eng

look with the naked eye upon the sea Of crime
whose waves reach your own heartb-stones.

"The Maid of Northumberland ..
tFsem Cine Hagerstown MaiLl

This is the title of dramatic poem by
Hon. Daniel Bedinger Lucas of West Vir-
ginia He has heretofore published one or
two books OF poems Among which is 1.-The
Land where we were dreaming" -considered
by critics as the most finished and altogether
one of the best war poems produced in the
South. Mr.. Lucas is a man of varied accom-
plishments. He is by common consent one
of the ablest lawyers in his State, equally
strong before court and jury: Law is his
profession and his labor. He is perhaps the
ablest stump speaker along the Potomac, was
Elee,or at large for the State in the Tilden
campaign and is earnestly urged for the next
Congressional nomination in his district At
odd times he delivers lectures and addresses
which are always marked by rare culture.
But wheI he withdraws from the Bar and
the Rostrum and follows his fancy, he is only
at home to the muses. The result of these
select interviews is the many poems, long
and short. reported by him for the press.
Mr.. Lucas is well known in Maryland. II
was he who recited the appropriate little
poem at tho dedication at Washington Con-
federate cemetery.
We are not critic enough to fix his rank
among our poets. We know he is a graceful
and pleasing writer, through whose verses,
thought aud brilliant negotiations pace to-
gether, and that all his poems have foun d
many and appreciative readers.
The "Maid of Northumberland" is poem
of tho war Tho scene is laid 10 Virginia,
and all of its incidents arise out of the iuter>
state blockade There is nothing sectional
or offensive about it, With a change of
names and some few phrases, it would be
appropriate to either side of the line. Es-
pecially is the satire on military cour is ap-
plicable to both. There is something of Bit
ing sarcasm, vein of expressive humor, the
suggestion of exquisi.ely absurd financial
theory about Confederate bonds, which is
pointedly suggestive of some financial theo-
ries of the present day, just enough of love
to make the Maid" heroine, at places an
apparently unconscious color reflected from
much reading of Shakespeare, and much
lofty and impassoned writing. Gen. Henry
A. Wise appears for couple of pages in a
dialogue s,rikiugiy characteristic of that
strange, strong man, but apart from the love
aud pathos in tho drama, it is a two-pronged
satire, one point directed against initiation of
the currency, and the other against all mill
tary courts. We can only guess at the au-
thor's intention, but, we hope we are only
one of many readers who can tell Mr.. Lucas
they read his little volume with great pleas
ure.
The high compliments of the dedication
Of this charming book is paid to our friesd
Col Henry Kyd Douglass, as follows
ITO Henry Kyd Douglas of Maryland,
this volume is affectionately inscribed as a
token of the authors friendship aud appre,
ciation."

THE KENTUCKY ELEcTloN.-The Louis
Vile Courier Journal of the 11th says:
s.The official returns from the election last
Monday make better showing for the De-
mocracy of Kentucky than first appearances
indicated. 1t is evident that Blackburn's
majority will exceed that given either Leslie
or McCreary, aud will probably run over
10000. The Republicans have made some
gains in the Legislature-tbree or four in
the Senate and ten or twelve in the House
but there is left Democratic majority on
joint ballot of over one hundred, big enough
for all practicable aud impracticable purpo-
ses. The call for Constitutional Conven-
ton is hopelessly defeated by ignorance and
apathy. Taken altogether, Mondays was
not bad days work for the Democracy of
kentucky"
