NOTICE.

One of the chief arguments in favor of Life
Insurance has always been that IL furnishes
ready money Immediately upon the death of
the assured. Immediate payment upon preSen-
tatiOn of claim and proof OF same is exactly what
the assured pays his money for. Ii is one of the
always implied terms of the contract, and | can
see no reason for an ostentatious parade of the
fact that the money was Immediately paid when
due, 1t being certainly no more creditable then
to an individual who meets his obligations at
maturity.
But as II appears to he the order of the day to
publish immediate payments. / will say tnat

.Apple Charms.

In Scotland and in England the apple is n
very popular divining medium in love mat
tiers. Part of this popularity is probably due
to the common notion that the tree OF know
ledge of good and evil WAS an apple tree -
Horace mentions the use of apple pIps in love
affairs. \ lover would take Il pip between
the finger and thumb and shoot 1t up to the
ceiling, and il it struck it, his or her wish
would he accomplished. Nowadays the
maiden tests the fidelity of her beloved by
putting y pip in the llce, at the same time
prOnounCing his name If the pip bursts
with rcpOr , it is sign that he loves her;
but should it burn silently, she is convinced
Of his want of true affection for her. This is
often performed with nuts instead Of pips.-
Gays Hobneia experiments with the pips ly
placing one on each check, one for Lubberkln
and the other for BOobyclod:
But BDobyclod soon drops upon the ground
A certain token that his loves unsound;
While Lubberkin sticks firmly TO the last.
Gay also mentions the very common
amusement Of pairing an apple without break.
ing the peel and then throwing the strip over
the left shoulder, in order TO e the initial
letter of the lovers name formed by the shape
the pairing takes upon the ground This is
often one of the many divinations duly prac-
tccd on Halloween or All Saints eve
Another way a, the same season is for the
curious maiden to stand heiOiea looking
glass COmbng her hair with one hand and
eating an apple held in the other ; the face
OF the future husband will then be seen in the
glass. looking over her LETT shoulder. Mrs.
Latham in her Sussex Superstitons' gives
another apple charm. Every person present
fasteus an apple "to string hung and twirl-
ed around before hot fire. The owner OF
the apple that falls off first is declared to be
on the point OF marriage; and rs they fall
successfully, the order in which the rest of
the party will attain to matrimonial honOrs
is clearly indicated, single bIcssedness being
the lot OF the one whose appc is the last to
drop '-ChdHbCrs' J0UrRdL.

OF THE CLAN-NA-GAEL, SHADOWED
BIZ THE CHICAGO POLICE.

The most prominent name men-
toned in connection with the murder
of Cronin, is that of Alexander Sulli-
van, who has been leader in the
councils of Irish agitatOrs for many
years. According to statements which
have been laid before the States A t.
torney, at Chicago, A leXander Sullivan
was gully of huge ENLIGHTENMENT of
National League funds while he was
a member of the Clan-naGael Trium-
virate. The substance of these state
ments is that Sullivan went to Paris
and demanded a hundred thousand
dollars from Patrick Egan, which
after some delay, was paid to SulIi-
van; bnt, according to the account
given by Sullivan's enemies he turned
over only eighteen thousand dol
lars to the Clan-na-Gael, and depos-
tied the balance of eighty-two thous-
and dollars to his personal account
This is the defalcation which the
murdered CrOnin spent years in try
ing to explain to the Irish societies in
Chicago.
Sullivan was born in Maine in 1887.
He was elected president of the Irish |
National League at its first session in
Philadelphia in 1888. The next year
a convention was held in Boston,
when Sullivan declined a renomlna-
ton. Patrick Egan denies the story
of the hundred thousand dollars. Sui |
