A Simple Promise to Pay.
A Marvel Of Simplicity.

From the Western Insurance Review,
July, 1891
The great Equitable Life has an
nounced new policy contract. 1t is
one which we predict will awaken a
worldwide interest from the very
start. This policy happens to be in
the very line of what we have been
hoping to see. The Equitable has
happened to harness up one of our
hobbies and has started it upon
triumphal tour that will be continuous.
We take no credit at all, but feel
mighty proud over it, all the same.
This policy is marvel of simplicity.

The Oxford Public LeAgex h

The Oxford Public Ledger has
reached the end of its first year. II
may be said to have passed the expert
mental age and is apparently meeting
with flattering success. 1t deserves
all its prosperity. The Public Ledge,
is one of the best of our State weeklies.
1t is we'll edited and newsy, and is
neatly printed and attractive in all its
departments. Oxford has cause to be
proud Of its local paper. Messrs.
Collins & Britt are proving themselves
worthy of a generous patronage at the
hands of the people of Granville
county. The GOLD LEAF congratu-
lates the editors of the Public Ledge,
upon having their lines fall in such
pleasant places.

WISE CONCESSIONS.
Results of Respecting the Claims Of Wom-
an for Equal Rights.

Results of Respecting the Claims Of Wom-
an for Equal Rights.
Whenever the claim of women for
equal rights or privileges has been con-
coded. the result has shown the wisdom
OF the concession. The last instance
was in the meeting OF the Massachu-
sets Medical Society. 1t had not been
easy for the society to accept women as
members any more than it had been
that they should be recognized as doc
tors. On both these points there is
now only one opinion. and the press
generally states it Take this example
from the Boston Transcript:
1T was an imposing sight-the great
hall of the Mechanics Building just
fairly filed with regular doctors at
dinner yesterday-considering what an
amount of learning, brains and charac-
ter are guaranteed to the .aggrega-
ton. by even the average qualities Of
the good doctor. But the most
striking thing about it was the
appearance OF the lady members of the
Massachusetts Medical Society dining
among the gentlemen, and one lady sit
ting among the long row OF eminent
guests at the table OF honor. stretched
along the front of the platform. An
other noticeable thing was the reception
OF this distinguished woman was as
hearty and general as that of any Of the
distinguished men, if not indeed, more
marked than that given any of the
gentlemen. And the best of it was
that this proceeded, not from any gal
lantry or sentiment OF any kind, but
was simply felt to be due recognition
of merit and achievement. The doctors
of our day pride themselves on lucidity
and candor, and do not hesitate to say
that women can be and are most excel
lent physicians"
Women who have worked and waited
long for equal rights have only to be
mot weary in well-doing." and success
is as sure as that equal human rights
are just Woman's Journal.

PRINCE AND PAuPER.

Some Leaves From the Career Ofa Well.
Known Spendfhrift.
Prince Demetrius Ivanovitsch Won
Chiwa died few days ago in the poor
house at Hamburg. He was once the
petted son of a wealthy family, whose
ancestors were the undisputed rulers
of the province whence he came After
receiving a military education he
founded a house in Paris where, under
the Second Empire, he played an en-
viable and important role. The En-
press Eugene was among the numer-
Gus admirers of the handsome Prince,
who spent money as lavishly as the
Emperor himself. But the dissolute
life which he began to lead soon
robbed him of his fortune and reduced
him to beggary. At first he was par
ticular as to the rank of those from
whom he borrowed and chose only
men who were his equals in birth.
The late King Ludwig of Bavaria
was honored oftener than any other
rules with ..lettcrs for loans," which
Invariably began: Most serene and
mighty cousin" The fattery was
successful in opening the purse of the
demented monarch during many years.
But this source of income was at last
cut off, and Prince Won Chiwa was
forced to borrow from his interiors,
giving as security the expectation of a
large sum of money from the Emperor
of Russia. The truthlessness of such

Work Necessary.

It appears always to be taken for
granted, in discussing woman and her
sphere" says Kate Epson Clark. in
Christian Union. that all women, upon
reaching maturity, stand still. look
about them. and then deliberately
either marry or take up some sort of
an occupation-whichever they chose.
From the way in which many of our
most prominent men discuss the mat
ter, it would seem to be within the
power of every woman to marry salts
factorily, or at least stay at home and
busy herself in helping her mother at
housekeeping and entertaining. These
gentlemen even intimate that If she
does not do one OF these things she is
blameworthy. They do not seem to
know that very large proportion OF
our most valuable women can not mar
ry, either because they are not asked at
all, or because they are asked by men
whom they do not like. To stay in
their childhood homes in idleness, or
simply 'puttering about the house." is
often to cruelty burden fathers and
brothers-a position in which no self
respecting woman can remain. Hence
she must go out into the world for
work. That she should go as school,
teacher, a typewriter. or in some such
capacity, seems to be the commonest
way. She may be. If not well educated
enough for these positions. a dress
maker, shopserver, milliner, and it
is such women who most frequently
drift into business for themselves 1t
is generally, however, considered
enough for a woman to look forward to
that she should get fair, steady
salary.
