WILD-CAT INSURANCE.


 Insurance Commissioner Merrill of Mas sachusetts has made very sharp attack on the endowment insurance business. He says that "it is doubtful if. since the fla nous South Sea bubble, such gambling mania has ever seized upon an intelligent people as that developed in the spread of the assessment endowment, and it's natural and legitimate oHspring-the bond-invest ment insanity" He reports that the old est and probably one of the best of these orders, the "Iron Hall," has fallen far short of the anticipations of it's managers, resulting in an increase of assessments upon members to 50 per cent above the estimates. He invites special attention to the immortality of one of the chief clements entering into the estimates made for these orders-that of t1apses." Those members who stay in are to receive benefits chiefly from money which has been forfeited to the order by members unable to keep up their assessment, or who withdraw for various reasons. Practically this is, when managed on the methods contem- E'AatOo Dy IACcc oldClS, DcltcE tudu a deliberately designed oonfscation of the cash of others. It is made the incentive or inducement to come into the orders, and the moral effect of offering benefits to be derived from such sources must be regard ed as harmful to community. Commits sioner Merrill also attacks the 'sbond in vestment" schemes. These are of much the same character. As he aptly phrases it, they are nothing more or less than ''gambling upon the chance of getting in early enough to get out among the first, regardless of the chance which comes to the unfortunate later and larger contin- gent" He urges the legislature to clear the entire "bastard brood" of endowment orders and bond investment schemes out of the State. They are interfering alike with regular insurance companies, with the fraternsl societies which pay only death or disability claims, and to a con- siderable extent with general business throughout the State.

To the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The revival of the Connecticut branch dormant since 1S04 has awakened an in terest in this ancient and illustrious order Since the reading of the Cincinnati paper before the Historical society the following additional items have been obtained from various sources.
 During the crusade against the society the Massachusetts legislature passed the following resolution: Resolved: That the society is unjustifable, and if not properly discountenanced, may be danger ous to the peace, liberty and safety of the United States in general, and of this state in particular"
 All this bother was made about c few old soldiers who met once 6 year on the Fourth of July to dine together and drink glass of punch to the memory of their comrades and campaignsi
 In consequence of this opposition, and other causes, seven of the state societies became dormant New Hampshire held its last meeting in 1923 and ceased to exist in 1880, at the death of its last member, Captain Daniel Gookin. The books and papers were presented by his son, MT. John W. Gookin, to the Historical society. Rhode Island was dissolved in 1882, and was revived in 1878 and restored in 1881. Connecticut was dissolved in 1894 and re- vived in 1889. Delaware was dissolved and divided the funds in 1902 Virginis | was disbanded in 1903, and voted to be stow her funds upon the Washington acad | emyt for the establishment of a "Cincin

Sunday Evening Service at |

Church of the Redeemer.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In your issue of May go Outsider" asks "Is the report true that the Church of the Redeemer, after an experiment of six months, feels moved to give up its Sunday evening serviceF' The question is fair one and seems to be honestly asked. I hasten, therefore, to answer, By no means.
 The s'report" was doubtless based upon an announcement made last Sunday morning
 that the evening service would be discon-
 tinued in few weeks. There should
 have been added to the notice, ''for the season." The evening service was started last fall as an experiment., with the under standing that it would be discontinued from July to October. Both the Church of the Redeemer and it's pastor are grati- fed with the success of the service. We believe in it and will certainly resume it, with the purpose of making it as attrac- tive as possible, in the fall.
 Thanking Outsider" for his compli- | mentary references to myself, wish sim ply to say that I have not found the Church of the Redeemer moribund or in | disposed to good works. On the contrary, it is active, progressive, benevolent and l eager for the advancement of the Chris | tian cause.
 I have never yet seen church with too | much genuine spirituality, but certainly
 see no reason for selecting the Church of the Redeemer as a conspicuous example of | degeneracy. WATSON l.. PHILLIPS.

American Sailors Imprisoned-Captain Nor
ris' Statement.
From Boston comes the story Of the impris-
onment OF six American sailors for two years
and ten months in Siberian coal mine. Their
offense was poaching in Russian waters for seal
and walrus. One American died after starving
upon rice soup and being eaten by vermin.
This seems also to have been the fate of the
twelve or fifteen japanese who made up the
rest of the crew.
Capt. Joseph W. Morris Of the schooner
Helena, who was captured with his crew by a
Russian man-of-war, has returned to Boston
and has given an account OF the treatment suf-
fered in the Russian prison. After the trial
the evidence against them being given all in
the Russian tongue and they not knowing
word OF it, they were taken to the coal mines at
labor for,three years The men sentenced were
six Americans ard fifteen japanese.
They were lowered into the mines and each
one told that he must dig and send up five
loads Of coal day in order to obtain his
rations. The captain says: VI was the first to
go down, and did not again see the light of
day for two years and ten months. was left
in pit 200 feet long and about twenty wide
The darkness was SO intense that was never
able to see but q few feet in front of me-"
There was IN the same pit Polish exile to
whom Capt. Morris was chained. In course Of
time this man became insane. He ate the cap-
tain's rations and grew violent when his fellow
laborer demonstrated. One day the pair had a
terrible fight, in which the Pole was beaten.
owing to his lack Of skin and the effects of his
long confinement. After three months the Pole
died. The captain freed himself from, the
corpse by cutting it in two with his shovel.
After the first year Morris had only three cars
of coal to send up, but this was worse than ave,
he thought, as he had so much more time to
think. lie was sinking into q condition Of
dependency which threatened his mental bal
ance when he received news that his sentence
had expired. Croker. the second mate, was
released with him, he says, and he had an un-
verified report that Colder, the ship keeper,
also survived.
