The Brattleboro evening Times
quotes the Marlboro Mass. )Times as
saying, in commenting upon the de-
falcation of Moody, the Franklin
county treasurer
"We are not desirous of reaching
heaven. We prefer to 60 where it is
a little more sultry, for the sake of
better society. Heaven must be
plum full of thieves, murderers, hyp-
ocrites and scamps of every variety
and we shouldn't feel at home there. :"
And then, as if to add insult to in
jury, it further says:
''In this particular case the delin-
quent, who has been highly honored
and trusted, is cousin of that North
field evangelist who goes about the
country saving souls from the wrath
to come, and at the same time saving
shekels for his own future use in this
world"
Don't it beat the Dutch that good
Christian, like this cousin of the great
evangelist, can't steal right along for
fourteen years and run prayer meet
ings and Sunday Schools without
some pesky newspaper talking in
this shape.
c. Mason Moody, who for fourteen
years, as is alleged, has been stealing
from Franklin county, Mass, and at
the same time keeping up a stiff
Christian character, ought to be given
postoffice by saint John Wanama-
ker. Golly Eternal fitness.
A large number of the leading re-
publicans of Pennsylvania have issued
an address to the citizens of that State
wherein. they recount disasters of their
party and lay the blame on Senator
Quay and his henchmen, and demand
that he be removed from the party
leadership. They say, sit might
have been supposed that the leader
who had inflicted such wound upon
his party, and to whom it had given
so overwhelming an evidence of lack
of confidence in him, would have re-
tired from public prominence"
Evidently Quay is not built that
way, but like some of Vermont's dis
tinguished( , politicians will hang on
until the grim monster thrusts in his
old briar scythe and gathers them to
the fiery kingdom where their energies
may be directed towards finding a
cool corner. These Pennsylvania re-
publicans are on the right track.
The bosses must gol
The bosses will go
The people are going to take them
in hand and give them such shaking
up as old Versuvius never had.
The address concludes as follows
'In the presence of these facts
Pennsylvania Republicans must not
hesitate as to their duty or be in doubt
as to their course. 1t is crisis, and
it can onlv be met by the retirement
of Mr.. Quay. More competent and
worthy leadership is necessary, and
an unflinching demand must be made
for the retirement of these men from
the places they have disgraced.

a BAD YEAR.
The Insurance Companies Have
Lately Lost Heavily.

The Insurance Companies Have
Lately Lost Heavily.
Concerning the withdrawal of prom
inent fire insurance companies from
business, Assistant Insurance Commits
Sioner Dearth said yesterday that the
past year has been a bad one for the
companies. lie says twenty-eight stock
companies and thirty-two mutual COM
panies in the United States have either
failed or gone out OF business by the
plan of reinsurance, on account of the
heavy losses sustained. He expects
there will be a wonderful revival of
business next year, owing to the with
draWal OF so many of the smaller COM
paneS, and the consequent enlarge
ment of the business of the
surviving companies. He thinks, how
ever. that still greater number of COM
panic will reinsure, shifting their risks
TO the larger companies and going out
of business until the insurance business
will be left largely in the hands of the
big companies, which are better
equipped for handling it.
". Ii. Clarke, OF the st. Paul board
of underwriters, expressed a similar
conviction. and says that the past year
has been crusher for all companies,
but especially SO for the smaller ones.
The heavy losses. however. are not con-
fined to the small fry. for the ARM
strongs, who have removed, were elassed
among the great companies of the
world. The losses have been especially
heavy during the months OF October
and November.

HOW no DO 1T.
An Architects Suggestions About
Auditorium Plans.

a leading architect of this city, seen by q
GLOBE reporter subsequent to the meeting
proposed plan with reference to drawings
His idea was that all architects should com
pete. but that the work be not dead loss
the second and third best drawings receive
prizes the first best of course, to secure the
work.
1t is an irregular way to conduct bust
ness, said one of The number Let me ex-
plain We would be at an immediate outlay
OF something like S75, for we would have to
make Careful measurements Of the present
structure before we could possibly make an
estimate of the cost OF the auditorium The
result will he only few of the architects of
the city Will compete, and it will be pity
1 want TO say that the architects are public
spirited, and feel a keen interest In the
auditorium, but they cannot 90 into a
miscellaneous scramble like a lot of
prize school essayists with any degree
OF self-respect. There is no class of pro-
Iessional men who would do such thing. If
they would offer prizes, say loo for the
second best plan and $500 for the third as is
customary. dare say all the best architects
would compete. The committee should
realize that it isn't every architect that is
perfectly familiar with modern architecture
nor the science of acoustics. 1t is a particu-
lar branch of our profession that not all fol-
low, because there is no demand for it.
Il have another plan in mind that would
prove acceptable TO us, and it is one that is
commonly in vogue in I e construction of
public buildings. Let the committee select
number of the best architects. those that they
have confidence are perfectly competent and
reliable, aud then choose one by ballot from
this number. After his election place the
entire thing in his hands 10 work out. There
are good many IN the CITY who can be re-
lied upon to do the work scientifically and
economically. And this plan would chal-
lenge the confidence OF The taxpayers, but
] doubt If the people of st. Paul will
feel satisfied to have the responsibility placed
IN the hands Of an architect who has had
little experience IN erecting large buildings.
There is too much money at stake, and the
reputation OF the city is at stake also. st.
Paul cannot afford to have a permanent aU-
ditorium that viii not be a or dit to the city.
Again there is danger that the national COM
mittee may question the work unless super
ViSed by q competent man."

no money was on the table when they OBJ

YOLO TULB LANDS.
Another Effort to be Made to Reclaim
Them.
An Enterprise that Means a Great
Deal for Sacramento-The Meet
ing Tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
meeting of all persons interested in the
reclamation of the great Yolo tule basin
will be held at Y. NJ. I. Hall, on Seventh
street.
This is project that, if carried out sue
cessfully, will do more TO benefit Sacra-
mento City than any one thing now
talked of. The body of land opposite this
city is as rich as the Valley of the Nile,
and the greater part of the produce raised
there would find its market in Sacra-
mento. The citizens should therefore
encourage the proposed enterprise in
every possible way.
The owners of the islands on the Lower
Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers are
also vitality interested in such a scheme
as is contemplated, for, if successful, it
would prevent the flood waters of Yolo
from entering the river at Rio Vista.
The project, briefly stated, is to exca-
waite large canal along the western edge
OF the tule basin, which would take the
overflow from the Sacramento River and
also the waters fCache and Putah Creeks,
carrying them through cut, which would
not be deep, into Suisun Bay. The seep-
age and natural rainfall in the low basin
could be handled with pumps, as is done
on the islands.
This proposed scheme of reclamation is
somewhat similar to that undertaken sew
eral years ago, and abandoned because of
the great cost. That proposition was to
tap the tule basin at its lowest point and
drain it into Suisun Bay. To do this the
cut would have to be very deep, and the
plan involved such an outlay of money
that it would be impracticable.
1t is believed that, by the plan now
contemplated, the cost would not be more
would be mere bagatelle, in view of the
fine body Of land it would reclaim.
The meeting should be large one, as
the project interests great many people
outside Of the actual land owners. If the
matter should be carried to a successful
conclusion, this city would never have to
raise its levees higher than they now are.
This means q great deal to Sacramentans,
who are now annually confronted with
an enemy whose power to do harm is not
limited even to natural laws, but is sub
ject to the caprice of the elements.
And not only would this reclamation
enterprise remove from the city all
danger of injury from flood waters, but
it would open up to cultivation and set
Element large area of fertile land whose
trade would naturally come to Sacra-
mentO. Therefore, while the enterprise
interested in the reclamation Of the Yolo
tule lands, still it is one that indirectly
concerns Sacramento; hence, all who
take an active interest in the affairs of the
city should attend the meeting to-mor-
row and give every possible aid and en-
enlargement to the proposed under
taking.

NOT MRS. STORTZ.
She Did Not Attempt suicide, and Has
No Notion of Doing So.

She Did Not Attempt suicide, and Has
No Notion of Doing So.
The RECoRD-UNIoN did an uninten-
tiOnal injustice to Mrs. Peter Stortz yes
terday, and one which it hopes will dis
appear with this explanation
It was stated that on Monday she at
tempted suicide in a moment of despond-
ency, caused by domestic trouble. There
was such an attempt made at the place
stated in the item, but the reporter could
not at first learn the name Of the woman.
The physician who attended her was
communicated with later on by tele-
phone, and he was understood to say it
was Mrs. Peter Stortz who made the at
tempt on her life.
Mrs. StortZ called yesterday and gave
satisfactory proof that she was at her
place Of employment at the time men
toned, and that instead of being despond-
ent, she was at the time in the happiest
possible mood over her recent divorce
1t was then learned that the name of
the person who made the attempt upon
her life Tor pretended to do so was a Mrs
Eugene Stark.
Mrs. StortZ says she is doing her best
10 provide for herself, her child and her
aged mother, and it is hoped the mistake
referred 10 may work her no injury.
