The bill introduced by Mr., OSgood Of flew
ion to amend the insurance law SO thatin
case of total loss the companies Shall be
compelled to pay the full amount specifedin
the policy Is modelled after the New Hamp
shire law, which was passed some years ago.
and which was succeeded by the withdrawal
OF all the prominent insurance companies
from the state. Maine does not want to
adopt any such policy. As rule there is
little ground for complaint against insurance
companies. and the declaration of war upon
them such as this bill won d prove to be is
entirely uncalled for, and furthermore 1t is
certain to hurt the State more than the in
suranc6 companies.

How few persons realize how many
lives are lost daily from want OF nutri-
tion such as diseased organs need to re.
store them to healthy condition. This
we confirm by the fact that only 1.2
per cent. OF all deaths come from old
age Csee Massachusetts, Reports), and the
large per cent. remaining comes chiefly
from lack Of nutrition.
In Massachusetts, the average number
OF deaths from
Consumption and Pneumonia, One for
every IS minutes.
Heart Troubles, Nine daily.
ChIerea Infantum, Six daily.
Diphtheria, Five daily.
ApOplexy, Bronchitis. Cancer, each -Four
daily.
Kidney Troubles, Paralysis. each -Four

POLICE COURT.

On Saturday last James A. Martin,
newcomer TO this city, bought
pailfof pantaloons of Otis n. Baldwin,
a merchant of this city, with the un-
derstanding that he was to pay for
hen on the evening of the same day.
Pretty soon, TO the surprise of the buy
pr, Baldwin sent his clerk to Martins
home with the instructions to demand
he goods or the price of them, there
and then; but TO the surprise of the
CLERK, Martin refused TO do either,
claining that he had not drawn his
money, but would pay for them with
in the given time. The clerk returned
TO the store and delivered in su bstance
the above result of his mission, where
at Baldwin became enraged and hur-
ried to Martins bent on carrying out
The instructions previously given his
clerk. but he, too, met a blunt refusal
as did the clerk, and furthermore, he
was ordered to quickly betake himself
off the premises. This Baldwin COM
piled with instanter. By this time
Baldwin's ire had become thoroughly
stirred up and boiling and his spleen
had already swollen TO abnormal pro-
portions, and strutting which he subt-
" converted into the first surprise to
Martin, with swinging left handler
II told you I'd get you" in the shape OF
a warrant charging Martin with being
drunk and dsorderly Martin had
been somewhat intoxicated. Martin
put up his old horse for his appearance
Monday, at a. m. The prisoner
pleaded guilty before his honor Po-
lice Judge English and was subse-
quently fined So and cost, $3.50. When
the city marshal arrested Martin Sat-
urday he turned the goods over to the
officer without question. Mr.. Martin
says he bought the pants of Mr..
Baldwin in good faith and therefore
had no desire whatever TO detraud
Baldwin.
This is a clear case of spite and per-
secution on the part of Baldwin for
the reason that Martin was drunk on
the street, and we are informed, in
Baldwin's presence prior to his buy
ing the pants of him. Why didn't
Baldwin have him arrested then if he
is so anxious to clear the streets OF
drunken men? You may just count
on the ARGUS airing such cases every
time an opportunity presents itself

FASHION on MILITARY STREET.

Horseback riding among the cele-
brities of the city is becoming quite
fashionable. Military street being
the finest one in the city, it in conse-
quence is oftenest selected for a morn
ing or an evening ride. To be an
easy graceful rider is not the easiest
thing imaginable. Some ride for
show, others for health and pasttime.
In riding the muscles of the trunk are
brought in play while those of the
limbs are more or less neglected. The
young man whom we noticed coming
down the street yesterday in rather
quick gallop, accompanied by his lady
love, neglected to carefully examine
the straps Of his stirrups. Just as he
aud his fir companion came well In
the range Of our view, and he at the
zenith Of Chesterfeldian gallantry, his
stirrup struck the ground ker-hop.
Each gave the other a quick look !;
then they took turn about looking TO
the opposite sides of the street at the
gazing, laughing passerby. Again she
stared nc her bean and in turn he star
ed at his belle. By and by the hand
some gallant dismounted, picked up
the stirrup, led his steed to the curb
stone, jumped on his horse from the
rear, clambered over into the saddle
with the stfrrup in hand and he and
his modest love, with dropped heads,
went on their way.

Offered to Young Women.

G. G. Wood, retired New York bank
er, now living in Brooklyn, has rendered,
through his wife, 1925, 900 to the Young
Women's Christian association of Brook
lyn, to put up new building for the
association. The building will be erected
on the three lots on Schermerhorn street,
between Third and Flatbush avenues,
which were bequeathed to the associa-
ton by the late S. B. Chittenden.
Mr.. Wood had been contemplating the
gift for some time, and decided to make
it if 100000 could be raised for a per-
manent endowment. He consulted with
President Seth Low, D. W. McWilliams,
Truman j. Backus, A. E. Orr, Gen. G.
T. Christensen and a number of others
on Saturday at the Hamilton club, and
the offer was formally made, provided
that the 100000 is raised by July 1, 1891.
Mr.. Wood, John Chaplin and Thomas
E. Stillman were made an advisory board.
The proposed building will be five stories
high and will contain classrooms, work
rooms, parlors, baths, library, roof gar
den and dor1nitories. 1t is hoped to have
the building ready by May 1, 1892, when
the lease of the present quarters expires.

A Woman Designer.

We have in Boston young woman of
the name of Miss Mary O'Connor, who at
one time was employed on Broadway,
New York. She was brought to the at
tention of Mr.. Belcher, of the firm of R.
81. White & Co., of this city, about a
year ago, and he at once recognized her
ability as designer. He offered her a
place in his big establishment, which she
readily accepted. The firm sent her to
Paris and other European cities for the
purpose of studying up styles and becom-
ing inoculated, if possible, with the spirit
of that creative genius with which the
foreign atmosphere is charged. She de-
veloped wonderfully sensitive receptive
qualities, and when she returned home
was running over with ideas. She be-
gan at once to put them into practical
use, and the result has been not only fiat
tering to herself but source of great
profit to her employers, as well as awak-
ening a sense of never-ending gratitude
in the ladies she has served. Many of
her conceits would fill the heart of a
Partisan designer with the greenest kind
of envy, and alarm him with fear for the
future of his own city.-Boston Cor.

Many physicians, including DIR. Bis
sell. believe that using milk from cows
affected with lung diseases is the cause
of a large proportion of the pulmonary
disease of human beings. Nothing
should be taken for granted less easily
than that milk is a safe food. l have
seen enough of the pollution, dangerous
or otherwise, at least disgusting, con-
nected with ordinary milking by aver
age farm hands to assure me that it is
impossible to be too careful what is
bought of this article and what con-
sumed. In one case of 900 quarts care
fully examined two handfuls of solid
filth remained after distillation. This
danger is by no means confined to city
purchasers. - Physician in st. Louis

English women's Taste.

Nowhere in the world can so many
handsome, tasteful women be seen as in
London during the season. Of course
some are foreigners, and Americans are
generally among the most attractive, and
it must be remembered that the British
kingdom sends it's fairest flowers to town
at that time; but the fact remains that
many English women know how to dress
well. Nor is it true that small feet are
an American monopoly. The model of
Lady Hollands foot is one of the attrac-
tions of Holland House. She is not alone
in her beauty. English women have
been careless in the matter of shoes, and
shoes make deal of difference in the ap-
pearance of feet.
What like in the English is that they
can't be bullied out of their convictions.
Morris, Rossetti, Ruskin begin crusade
against the Philistines, against stupid
ugliness, against blind alteration of con-
ventionality. Women join their ranks
and attempt to make poetry out of mil
linery. Some of their efforts are very
ridiculous, but out of these efforts have
come Gainesboro hats and charming COS
tunes, making the wearers look like fas-
cinating old pictures instead of fashion
plates For the first time England is ex-
ercising an influence upon France.
Estheticism includes too much beauty
to be ignored, and Partisan modistes are
taking lessons of their despised neigh
bors. If | were asked which women to-
day had the more taste in dress, Ameri-
can or English, should say the English,
because they are beginning to think, and
are striving to be individual. In the
chaff of affectation there is the grain of
an honest ideal.-Kate Fields Washing
fOn
