THE PoPE's LATEST ADVICE.

How Seattle's Citizens Can Profit by 1t.
In the last circular-letter issued by the
pope and opened at Rome on May y, the
following interesting paragraph appears,
which is reprinted for the benefit of the
populace:
The pope particularly mentions as worthy of
communication, associations for mutual succor,
societies for insurance against accident, sick
ness and death and for the protection of chill
dren, and especially female children, to which
he attaches particular importance. The trades
mems associations aud ancient corporations, so
useful in the past, ought to be adapted to pres
ent needs These would better answer the ends
intended ii they were composed of both work
ingmen and masters. In that case they would
develop usefulness more and more.
In advising the workingmen as well as
masters to insure against accidents the
pope has certainly done q wise act. In
this country men are too apt to be negli-
gent on this subject, and by failure to pro-
vide a policy in an accident association,
subject themselves and their families to
needless privation and suffering.
The Spectator, the leading insurance jour
nal of the world, contained the following
interesting notice in it's last issue:
1.-THE Mutual Accident Association of
North America, Of Seattle, Wash, starts
off with all the evidences of real merit
that can prevail in the organization of an
accident association on the mutual plan.
Angus Macintosh, president of the asso-
citation, is also president of the Merchants
National bank; w. Marshall Shaffner,
vice president. is of the Filkins Banking
Company. The trustees include also some
of the leading men of Seattle, while
Arthur j.. Bailhache, the secretary and
general manager, is man of experience in
life insurance and is at present connected
with the state agency of the Equitable
Life, of New York. William E. Maxwell,
a gentleman we'll known in business cir
cles at Seattle, is the auditor. The home
Office of the association is finely located
and is elegantly equipped for business.
Everything gives evidence of permanency,
and we bespeak for the association pros
porous career" With such an indorse-
ment of Seattle's home company, every
man having his own or his family's inter
est at heart, should apply to the Mutual
Accident Association of North America,
rooms 200 and 201 Burke building, or to
any authorized agent, for policy.

The track of the Seattle g. Montana rail-
road has been laid through Ballard and for
some distance beyond and is now sus-
pended while the track-laying machines
are being put in order. Work will be re-
sumed with the machines about the mid
die of this week and will then be pushed
ahead without interruption.
Reports that the Lake Shore is trying to
hinder the laying of Seattle & Montana
track at Ballard are denied by /. A.
Nadeau. assistant superintendent of the
Lake Shore. The contract entered into
some time ago between the Seattle d Mon
tana and the Lake Shore, by which the
right-of-way dispute at Ballard was set
tied, is being observed by both parties; the
Northern Pacific is delivering material to
the Seattle & Montana over the Lake
Shore and has allowed the Seattle &c Mon
tana to connect its tracks with those of
the Lake Shore at Boulevard to facilitate
the delivery of material. In short, all is
lovely between them.
