You Can do Better,
For some time efforts have
been made to get The WEEKLY
WORLD into every home in
Berkeley County, and as a still
further inducement it is offered
for rs CENTS per year, to
all who subscribe before April
Is, 1898. After that time the
regular price, Sf.00 per year,
will be charged. Thousands
of sample copies are now being
sent out weekly, and if you are
not a subscriber, you will
please understand that this
copy is sent you with a view
of getting your subscription.
Examine it carefully-compare
it's county correspondence, To-
cal, miscellaneous, and tele-
graphic news, with that of it's
competitors. Also consider the
fact that THE WORLDS regular
priceis s1.o0, and that the price
of it's competitors is $1.5o if
YOU pay in advance, and $500
if you pay at the end of the
year. What a difference Then
compare the size of the papers,
and their general appearance
and makeup. Will you not
agree that THE WORLD is far
superior and cheaper in every
respect /? Yet, a special offer
of a years subscription for
rs CENTS is made you to
subscribe before April 18th.
Will you do so? Why not If
you were offered two silver
dollars for one, wouldn't you
grab at the chance That is
lust what THE WEEKLY WORLD
is doing-according to the
quality and prices of it's COM
petitors, it is now offering you
not less than $500 worth of
newspaper for rs CENTS.
Why not grab at this chance !?
You may wonder how this can
be afforded. The explanation
is this-THE WORLD is the only
daily paper in the county, and
the entire expense is in the
publication of it. The cream
Of the daily news is saved for
the weekly addition, thereby
making the only expense at
tached to the weekly the cost
of the paper and press work.
Why can't it be published
cheaper Why shouldn't its
makeup of news be far super
ior to it's competitors? Then,
why shouldn't you invest your
subscriptions where you can
get the most for them? Your
subscription is solicited. You
are also requested to send to
the office the names of any
friends or relatives you may
have, who you think will be-
likely to subscribe, and we
will promptly mail them sam
pie copies.

Watertown, Mass. December 11.-Rev.
Andrew McKeown, d. D., died at the
home of his son-in-law, Lewis B. Porter,
at Watertown, today, aged 10 years. The

He was bent upon studying for the min
istry, and to gain livelihood became a
bookseller. Later he taught school in
Hull and Cohasset. He entered Wilbra-
ham College, teaching and working at
night to earn sufficient to put him
through college, and was ordained when
% years of age. His first charge was at
New Bedford, where he married Miss
Velina 81. Pease of Edgartown, in 1858.
He preached in almost every Methodist
pulpit in this vicinity, and filed nearly
every important charge connected with
the New England Conference. His most
important call was to the largest Metho-
dist church in Portland, where
he remained the allotted time of three
years, his departure being the occasion
of much sorrow to the congregation.
His last charge was over the Methodist
church in Egleston square, Boston, which
he resigned last April, owing to i'll

ing with his daughter in Watertown. He

One Way to Fetter a Folding Bed.

OAo w ny ~ eGCcr u Il OlOIuE bcus
every few days we read about people
being caught in folding beds and stran-
gled or crushed to death or rendered Grip
pies for life," said mechanic. ''It is
easy to prevent this. Every folding bed
can be easily fitted with hooks or bolts
that will fasten into unobtrusive staples
or sockets in the floor, and make it impos-
sible to close the bed without Understanding
them or pulling up the floor. Every one
OF them should have some protection Of
this nature,
"A friend OF mine who travels great
deal and often stops at hotels where fold
ing beds are used carries strong nickeled
chain, like those used In hanging window
weights, In his valise, and at either end
there is good stout screw eye. The chain
is about feet long and takes up scarcely
any room. When he strikes hotel with
folding beds, he lets the bed down, screws
one OF the screw eyes in the floor on one
side OF the bed at the foot, carries the
chain over the frame and under the mat
tress to the other side, draws the chain
tau5 and sinks the other screw eye in the
moor. This method would not be good
one TO use in everyday practice, but my
friend adopted it after he had had an ad-
venture with ono folding bed that nearly
COST MN his life. Nobody should purchase
a folding bed that is not provided with
some attachment that will lock it so that
" cannot be closed by accident. They are
as dangerous as unloaded guns. Utica

B.:th, December 1.-THE riveters at
Sewall's yard went out on strike again

Boston man named Love, at a dollar less
per hundred than the price usually paid.
The riveters refused to work and were
promptly locked out of the yard.
Mr.. SewaII owns the vessel and can
afford to tie up work till spring, and in
deed has had serious thoughts of doing
that very thing. The riveters are not
citizens of Bath, but transient residents
OF English nationality. The men who
are to take their places are men who live
IN Bath and have moved their families
here The strike seems exceedingly i'll

much with the work that the builders
are glad to shut down. The strikers

Beautiful Painting.
Perrault's awakening of Love-"

The beautiful oil prainting, ''The
Awakening of Love- by Perrault,
which was exhibited at the Paris Salon,
and was afterwards purchased by the
Doliber- Goodale Co., for their exhibit
of Mellins Food at the Worlds Fair,
has been returned from Chicago, and
will be exhibited to the public, free, at
The Youths Companion Office, Column
bus Avenue, Boston, for a few days
before its departure for the California
Mid-Winter Exposition.
The many friends of Mellin's Food
who saw the picture at the World 8
Fair, as we'll as those who were pre-
vented from visiting Chicago, will, we
feel sure, welcome the opportunity to
examine the beautiful gem of modern
art at their leisure. The exhibition of
this exquisite work Of art in The YOUTH
Companion Office recalls the magnificent
colored reproduction Of 1t which APP
peared in the Worlds Fair Number of
The Youths Companion last May, and
also the significant words which prom
inent writer uttered on that occasion in
reference to it: ''As the Greek matrons
gazed earnestly on the statues of their
ideal gods, with the hope that their chill
dren might embody such beauties, so
should modern mothers keep before
them this ideal of a perfect child.''

J. FRANK LANG, Sec'y.

The Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company during the month of October,
1888, wrote A LARGER AMOUNT OF
NEW BUSINESS THAN IN ANY COR
RESPONDING MONTH DURING THE
PAST TWENTY YEARS.
While the New Issues are so rapidly
increasing, it is equally worthy of note
that the Company's Death-rate shows
not only relative but an actual de-
cline; this factor so allimportant in the
transaction OF a Life Insurance Business
is OF such marked character, that
few facts and figures in connection there
with are given.
The Notices of Death received by the
Company from January 1st to October
31st, 1898, amounts to $379,325 and when
compared with the corresponding period
of 1892 shows a very substantial 6s-
crease, thus N
