HALIFAX, Jan. 15.-Nova Scotia finan-

failure of the Bank of Jersey. (Channel
islands). The report is current that the
firm of Robin & Co. is involved. This is
the largest firm of fish merchants i'm the
world, having branches in Norway, New
foundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick,
Quebec and Labrador. The firm began
business in Nova Scotia over one hundred
years ago and has extensive establishments
in Cape Breton, besides various places in
New Brunswick and Quebec. 1t purchased
enormous quantities of supplies in Halifax,
and did all its Canadian business through
the Halifax banks. 1t is reported that one

Taking and Giving Good Adj
vice.

Taking good advice is quite diff
fercnt thing from giving good adj
vice. Almost ever body knows how
to do the second /; next to nobody
knows how to do the first Yet TAX
ing good advice is, normally, at
least quite as important as giving
good advice and in the present
state Of the world, it is mnch moro
important. What sudden change
there would be in this laundering
old world, il the taking ofgood adj
vice were as easy and as pleasant as
its giving.
1t was a favorite thought and con-
ccit Of the classical writers that men
were divided into three classes !:
Men who, themselves, knew what
they ought to do; men who did not,
themselves, know, but who were will
ing to learn from others, what was
best for them to do If one cannot
belong to the choice few who form
the first of these three classes, he
ought at least to see that he does
not belong to the ignoble many who
form the third.

I'm Life

1T il not only the duty Of parents
to provide for their children while
they are small, but care should be Ia
ken to train them to take care Of thern-
selves when they arrive at the years
of maturity. In this age of sharp
competition in business they should
have 50 start in life Ifproperly
taught business habits when they ara
young one or two thousand dollars
may insure their fortune in after
years. We know of no better oppor-
tunity to accomplish this than by Sc
curing membership for them In the
Equitable Life Association of West Va
On the lives of healthy children over
ten years of age the Association will
write policies Of $3.50, $500, $3.50, or
$1,000. On youths between the ages
of sixteen and twenty-five years larger
amounts will DO written. The poll
cies may be made payable to the APP
plicants direct at time of maturity, or
in case ofdeath, to their parents
The cost on these policies will be so
small that with a little help from
their parents for year or two the
children win be able to keep them up
without further assistance, BY this
method several very important points
may be gained in their training.
I-They will be stimulated to habits
of industry. Nothing accomplishes
this better than to give children some
thing to live for. Knowing that at
the end Of the endowment period they
win come into possession Of a sum
of money sufficient to start them in
life will be an incentive to earnest
work.
2-Economy in the expenditure Of
money. This is hard lesson for
most persons to learn 1t is not sur
prising, therefore, that children and
youths should be inclined to spend
their money freely. Seeing the i'm
portance Of keeping their policies in
force by payment Of dues will often
restrain them In lavish expenditures
Can better lesson be taught them 7
1t may save them from falling vic
Tins to the relentless power of the
vices Of the age, This
alone is worth moro than the cost OF

West Wheeling, suburb on the
Ohio side Of the river, narrowly
escaped being the scene of Il hor-
rible tragedy last evening. APol
ish potter named Keller, who is :.
religious enthusiast, lay down TO
sleep in the afternoon. After sleep
Ing for about an hour he suddeniy
sprang out of bed, telling his wife
that he had been commended by
God, in vision. to kill her and the
children. He seized a hatchet and
made rush for her. The frightcn-
ed woman 'endcavored to escape, but
before she had got out of the house
the husband had dealt her three
blows on the head with this mur-
derous weapon.
Thinking he had finished her.
he turaed his attention to the chill
dren, who had run out of doors,
and while he was searching for
them the woman managed to make
her way to a neighbors and gave
the alarm. A number Of men soon
surrounded and captured Keffier,
but it required quite struggle be
fore be could be disarmed. His
wife's injuries, while of serious
nature, are not considered danger

before, through an attempt to Gre
mate one Of his children in his pct

There does not seem to be q. uch
prospect at this time that there Will
be any compromise at Colu mbus so
that legislative business can go on
The Republicans manifest q pur-
pose to make Kernedy's pig head
ed rulelngs a sine qua non. The
Senate on Saturday adjourned until
Tuesday afternoon, and the compro-
mise committees are still at work.
There is talk of an appeal to the
Supreme Court, which next week
will have Il partisan majority, and
on it the Republicans count largely.
Referring to the prospects of a COM
promise the G eveland Plaindeai-
er says:
One side or the other must back
down entirely, as to conccde any
thing is to concede everything. If
the Democrats concede that any
rules adopted by the seventeen Re
publican Senators are binding, they
have no longer anything to fight
for and they might as well concede
everything that the Republicans
claim. On the other hand if the
Republicans ADMIT the validity o.
the Senate rules as adopted by the
votes ef twenty Democratic Sena
tors, a majority of tie Senate, they
admit that their own conduct has
been wrong throughout aud they
have nothing left on which to tase
a contest. At the same time, it is
plain that either one set of the rules
must be adhered to or the other
and there can be nc compromise
The only possible alternative is the
surrender of one side or the other
or a continuation Of the fight indcfi
nite!y.

WIZ E,oE Fight,

belief that the Senate will recede
from lis position in opposition to

that. inasmuch as he executive
has declined 10 comply with the
demands for information touch
ing suspensions, nearly every ap-
poin,ment will be confirmed or
rejected upon its merits and
without reference 10 the politics
which actuated The change. In
the first place, the Democratic
Senators have determined. TO
support the President against
the majority in case there should
he an open conflict between the
President and the Republican
members of the Senate. Then.
again, there are five Or six Re-
publican Senators--enough TO
combine with The Democrats and
make a majority-who have been
favored by the President in the
matter OF appointments. Some
Of these men represent states
having no Democratic represen.
iatives in Washington, and they
have been consulted on several
occasions when important chan
yes in their States were contem-
plated. This action Of the Pres
ident IN calling upon them for
suggestions has, in a measure,
placed them under obligations to
him, and it would be strange If
hey did not reciprocate his
'hrewd move disappearing him
when he needs support.
