A Significant Divorce.

BALTIMORE, March 10.-The Rio de
Janeiro correspondent of the Sun
writes: The separation of church and
state has taken practical form. I'm
der the last imperial government the
old imperial church, which did duty
as cathedral for the bishopric, was
pretty much pulled to pieces to pre-
vent its falling down of its own weak
nesses, and an engineer with an as
sistant and large staff of workmen
were making the dust and the mortar
fly. For some reason the wages of
the workmen fell int arrears, and as
under the empire it was customary to
make complaints in such case to the
press, the poor lnnocents did the same
on the present occasion. They soon
found that an empire with state
church was quite different from a re-
public with rather free idea of Deity,
for the minister of the interior prompt
ly ordered their wages paid and quite
as promptly ordered work stopped on
the cathedral. The governor of st.
Paul has declined to pay over funds
voted for church repairs, which he
has decided must now be at the charge
of the faithful. 1t is said the cathe-
dral here will be rebuilt at the eX-
pense of members of the church.

YOakunn Booming.

Mr.. Dan. T. Price, the wide-awake
rustling editor of the YOakum Graphic
was in town Saturday and Sunday,
looking up the business of his busting
little city. A LIGHT reporter ran
across him at his rooms at the st.
Leonard hotel, and engaged him in
conversation regarding Yoakum.
"Yoakum is on bOom,n said Mr..
Price. land it is boom of solid pros
Derity. Not day passes but that a
new building is commenced, and
three large lumber yards are unable
to fully supply the demand, and from
a lonely depot as beginning, two
years ago, we have city of 1000 in
habitants. Seventy-fve thousand
bales of cotton were turned out last
season by the cotton compress. With
in the next two months we will have
two banks, with an aggregate capital
of over 100000. For some time L
have had in my paper standing
write-up of YOakum and its advan-
tages, and the demand on it is such
that am obliged to put in a power
press to keep up with it. We are

A Family Cremated.

MONTREAL, March 1O.-Mrs. On
sine Collerette, wife of wealthy
French Canadian farmer, and her
seven children, were burned to death
yesterday in their home near
Cote St. Michael, five miles from
this city. The family lived in
a large stone house. At an
early hour in the morning the
building took fire, and before assist
ance could be given, it was burned to
the ground. CoIlerette had left the
house to attend to his work about the
farm, and on returning, found the
place in ashes.

Wonderful Growth.

The Mutual Life Insurance compa-
ny, since its organization in 1913, has
paid to its policy-hoiders S2S7, 6Sl, 94S.-
20. The wonderful growth of the
company is due in large degree to
the freedom from restriction and irk-
some conditions in the contract and
to the opportunities for investment
which are offered in addition to in
demnity in case of death.
The Mutual Life was the first to
practically undertake the simplifica
ton of the insurance contract and
strip it of verbiage in the mazes of
which could be found innumerable
refugees against claims of policy-hold-
ers who had, however unVittingly,
departed from the strict letter of the
agreement. That this appealed pow
erfully to the popular taste is evident
from the fact that in 1889 the company
wrote over Sl5l 100000 of new insur-
ance.

The Jokers for 1890.

The Joker base ball club claim to
have the winning team this season,
and Judging from the talent they
have already secured, things are very
likely to come their way. The follow
ing will constitute the nine this sum-
mer:
Crevestine, Orr and Veltman,
change pitchers and fielders.
Barnes and Mosebach, change catch
ers and fielders.
Kissing, first base.
Koerps, second base.
Garcia, third base.
Bryant, left field.
The players composing the above
nine have gathered for themselves
many laurels on the amateur diamond
for the last three seasons, and Will
no doubt continue gathering them,
thus being the strongest amateur
team thea lamo city has ever produced.
The club lacks one necessity, good
manager, and a plucky enthusiast
to undertake to manage the club
would not endanger himself of being
the manager of scrub team, at least
it would not be the fault of the
players.

To Avoid Confusion.

The trademark name Indian Ter
ritory" has been used to distinguish
very celebrated coal mined in the In
dian Territory, large body of land
containg as well inferior Goals. AS
the agent of the coal SO named have
spent both money and labor the SUI
perior qualities of the same known to
the people OF San Antonio, they feel
it due to themselves and their custom
ers to advise them that coal adver-
tised as Indian Territory" and sold
by dealers other than the San Anto-
MO aud Indian Territory Fuel Co., u.
r. Ransom, sole agent,) is not the
coal which the people of San Antonio
have been in the habit of using, and
which has gained foI itself so splen-
did a reputation. The adoption of
the name by other companies to aid
the sale of their coal is ample proof of
the recognized good qualities of the
"old reliable" Indian Territory coal.
We wish to state as we have often
stated heretofore that we are the sole
agents for the "old reliable Indian
Territory coal" and that it is sold by
no other dealers.
The coal is from old deep mines, and
as everyone knows, is on that account
alone, if for no other reason, solid and
lasting, yielding a very small per-
centage of ashes and large percent
age of heat. This is the only coal
which Will carry fire over night.

Will There be Vacancy on the SOL
diers Relief Commission.

The question of the eligibility Of Hiram
Johnson as representative is a subject of
discussion. The constitution specifically
declares that mo person holding any Office
under the u. S. or any county Office except
notaries public, officers of the MALTA and
officers elected 10y townships shall be eligible
to OF have seat in either house of the legis-
lature and all votes given for any such per-
son shall be void" Hiram johnson is a
member of the soldiers relief commission.
which is to all intents and purposes a
county Office, being appointed by the Judge
of Probate and whose accounts are audited
and allowances fixed by the board of super
visors. While the Michigan senate and
house have not always followed the letter of
the law, but have sometimes held that the
iutent of the law was merely to prevent CO.
incidence of official tenure and the resgna-
ton Of one Office before the duties of the
other began fulfilled the intent of the law.
Assuming this construction should johnson
resign there would be vacancy Oh the
board OF the soldiers relief commission.
If this appointment is conceded to the LIST
district, perhaps no more efficient member
could he found than VIM. T.. Jacobs, of
Hazleton township. IL the appointment
should come to the I'd district, several names
have been mentioned, A. b. Crane, of
Rush, Geo. l.. Van Dyne, of Middlebury
and Chas. L. Wing, of Perry. While 1t is
not known whether any of the persons
whose names are mentioned care for the
place, their fitness is conceded i'm case of the
vacancy occurring.
