A LIFE insurance society of new sort has
been started in Erie Pa. 1t does not promise
any money to a member when he shall die, nor
does it guarantee that he shall live for ever, but
its object is to promote long life. 1t is called
the National Longevity Union" and proposes
TO organizes subordinate lodges throughout the
country. In the articles of incorporation it is
stated that the object shall be to promote health
happiness and socabiity; to prevent disease by
educating it's members in the laws of life and
health; provide skillfnl medical advice ana at
tendance upon economical and scientific
basis, and to promote the general welfare of
humanity. The promoters say that One-half the
diseases which sweep away humanity may be
prevented or held in check effectually as
crime is kept down by organized effort.
The feature of the association which will
add to its membership is that in regard to
medical attendance. The members will be re-
quired to pay ST. per month for man and his wife,
and ten cents additional for each child. For this
amount they will be entitled to medical attend
ance free of other charge the condition being to
follow the sanitary instructions of the visiting
physician, whose duty 1t will be to visit all the
homes and keep medical history of the MEM
hers. AS he is paid by the Longevity Union, and
not by the patients, it will be to his interest to
check the spread of disease. All the visiting
physicians are required to send in report of
their sick, accompanied by method of treat
ment, with results. The medical advisory board
examine these reports and compile them for
general inform alton and instruction. Where,
in cases OF epidemics, etc, the treatment of one
visiting officer is found to be successful in
larger degree than others, his prescriptions are
to be forwarded to the district where the least
amount OF success has been obtained. funeral
benefit fund Is attached, by which wide US re-
ceive from 800 to 81 so at the death of the hus-
band for funeral expenses. AS might be ex-
pected, the association is looked upon unfayora-
bly, by those of the medical profession whose
fees will be cut off, but it seems not unreasona.
BILE to suppose that much good may be accom-
plished if the sanitary rules laid down are not so
strict and so numerous to be irksome

THE Columbus Republican makes the state
ment that the State Board of Agriculture is pay
ing the papers of this city for the insertion of
announcements concerning the coming State
fair, aud at the same time asking county papers
to perform the same service gratis. The Re pub
lican is misinformed; the board has not paid the
city papers a cent for the announcements in
question. In this connection it is proper to re-
mark that the city papers perform more or less
service for county fairs for which they receive
no remuneration.

with Napoleon at Waterloo" died at Paterson,
N j., on Thursday. On an average, there are
428 deaths annually among the Waterloo vet
Grams in the United States. Rnt the old guard
dies, but never diminishes. 1t is a curious fact
IN this connection that while it is an exception
to find an American city without one or more of
the frat Napoleon's soldiers, :here was but one

valides at Paris In 1880.

SHE Is a Chicago woman, of course. Her
maiden name was Nelson. In $50 she married
c. r. Plum, and she became his personal buckle
berry They lived as contentedly as Chicago
couples generally do until last May, when Plum
went to Minnesota on a search for employment.
That was a long, very long time ago, and Ella
Plum became very tired. She endured the
agony until the 4th of August, when she wrote
out bill of enforcement for herself and gave her
heart and hand to grocer clerk named John
Rohdt. They were wading blissfully through
their honeymoon when Plum had the mean
ness to return from afar. When he showed him
self to Ella she wilted instantly and knew OF
certainty that her love his without the
formality of a roll-cal. She flew TO him
he was about four feet from her when she be-
gan her highland swOre by all that was sweet
that she was his'n and his'n only. Rohdt got
mad when he grasped the situation grabbed his
hat and started for the necessary papers to
commit Ella on a charge of bigamy. Plum
got information of Rohdt's intention, and over
hauled him before he swore out a warrant.
few minutes conversation made everything
lovely, and the two walked off. 1t appears that
Plum had promised TO produce enough money
to pay for Rohdt's divorce: and this was salts
factory. There is more romance i'll Chicago in
one day than in cycle of Cathay.
