One Of the strongest Inducements that
amy insurance company can offer in the
way Of securing patronage is the knowl-
edge that when a policy is due it will b.,
promptly and satisfactorily settled. We
have an illustration Of this in the recent
payment by the New York Life Insurance
Company Of the handsome sum of $6,UOu
upon the life Of Mr.. Thomas y. Plummer,
lately deceased. This company is omr Of
the most successful Of tie foreign com
paues doing business in Wilmington,
which is easily accounted Tor when We
recall the well known fact that it il the
habit Of the company to settle all claims
against ii as this ON. was promptly and
without cayil The insurance upon Mir.
Pnnner's lile was paid through Messr4
Mathrr Il Canning, tile managers OF tile
company for this STAT, and it may lc
stated here that it is largely To their en-
terpiise aud aunnd lnrthods Of conducting
their business that the eo,upaniea repre-
scented by them owe the success they have
achieved in Delaware.

GEORGIA TEL.


New YORK, May IA number of rep
resentatives of the leading tea houses of
this city assembled in the tea house of
A. A. Low x Co, to-day, for the purpose
of sampling some teas which Were grown
tn Georgia by General Lesuc, Commits
soner of Agriculture. Cups of tea were
handed around to those present who pro-
nounced it equal to the best India tea.
The latter, though the very best is not a
iav0rite in this country because OF its pc
culiar flavor, but experts agree that with
different treatment this home tea would
he of very superior flavor. The commits
sipner also exhibited specimens of teas
which he had grown under arbors Gov
cred by brush and moss, and which did
have the benefit Of the sun. Experts de-
cided that there was no nitlerce in the
flavor or body between shade-gruwn tea
and that gron in the sun.

SHENANDOAH, May IA thrill Of hor-
ror was experienced in this town yester-
day when an insane woman poured coal
oil over her clothing and then set fire to
herself and burned TO death. q couple
Of weeks ago one of her sons, who worked
in the mines at Raven Run, met with an
accident which cost him his life. A
brother to the young man was taken will
a fever and he, too, succumbed Thest
two sad events had the effect of weaken
ing the old lady's mind, and yesterday
while her other sons were away, and
while feeling particularly distressed, she
resolved to put an end to her woes. TAX
ing the coal-oil can she applied it literally
TO her clothing and every part of hel
body and lighted it, with the result
stated. Her remaining two sons were al
work at the mines, and when they re
turned home in the evening and found
their mothers cold and charred corpse
upon the floor they gave vent to theil
feelings by heart-rending cries, which
| were heard squares away.

Yields its mysterious maryels in despair
To swell the mighty store-house of things

The curious wonders of its coral caves.
