Commissioner PilIsbury Expresses
His Opinion of the New Law.

nent business men of this State having requested
the views of Insurance Commissioner Pillsbury
upon the insurance law just enacted by the legis,
relief that gentleman has replied at considerable
length. He considers the recent legislation harsh
and offensive, discriminating as it does against q
manner unknown to our laws as touching any 9th
er public interest. To substitute valued policy
for an indemnity contract is to substitute careless
for virtue and to increase the moral hazard with
out limit. The commissioner acknowledges the
situation is growing daily more serious, but con
siders himself incompetent to indicate unob1ec-
tiOnable methods of relief. He suggests meet
ings and conferences Of prominent citizens to dls

not be devised to prevent the Gripping and de.

Is This Swans "Patent 2"

The Postmaster General has placed upon the
fraud list of the Post Office Department an east
ern manufacturing company which has adopted
novel plan to swinde the public. The company
advertised to furnish corn shelter for $3.50 and
a knife sharpener for So. Several responded to
the liberal offer, which was much below the
prices charged for such farming implements. The
corn shelter consisted of a simple piece of iron,
which would be dear at 81 per thousand, and the
knife sharpener was simple piece of wood with
a slight covering of emery paper on each side
and which could be readily purchased for 90 cents
per thousand. The advertisements were so alur-
ing that great number Of farmers in the Eastern
States were yctimized before the swindle was
exposed and steps taken by the department t.
break il up.

The AIabama claims Court.

There has been 'hitch" In the arrangement
which it was supposed had been made between
the attorneys practicing before the Alabama
court and officers of the court relative to the pay
ment of their salaries. The agreement has thus
far been only in part kept and the under officials
of the court who by the decision of the first comp
troer cannot legally be paid by the government
have given notice to the attorneys that unless an
arrangement shall be Immediately MADE for the
payment of salaries they will be obliged to aban-
don the work. If the work should now be aban-
doned it would not be possible for the court to
complete its labors and the result under con-
StructiOn of the law generally approved would be
that all the work already done WOnld be lost.

Services at the hospital.

To the Editor of the Press:
The services held in the three wards of the
Maine General Hospital on the afternoon of Sun
day last, were exceedingly impressive, and IN
tensely interesting. They were conducted by
Rev. L. c. Cummings, who in his prayer, Scripture
reading and remarks, adapted himself most admi-
rably to the need of those to whom he was minis
tering. Each service lasted but fifteen minutes,
but these minutes must have been crowded for
the patients with most gracious influences. IL
anywhere in Portland that day there was a wise
aud tender ministrati0n Of the gospel it was by
Mr. Cummings and by the four who added to his
prayers and remarks the soothing influence OF
song. There is pressing need at the hospital OF
secondhand clothing, especially for the use OF
male patients. This need was emphasized IN my
hearing on Sunday. The number In this city who
can spare out Of their wardrobes tile required
garments must be large, and there surely is
enough of the Masters spirit to prompt the ready
and eneerful giving of them. - VIC.
