INSURANCE.

To THE MEMBERS:
The year 1892 has been one OF gratifying
progress on thoroughly conservative lines ana
in every direction. Growth, TO a company the
size OF yours is not necessary for any advantage
To vou II does not diminish the mortality COST,
nor the expense account, nor increase the inter
est account. 1t does not make your diVldehds
larger nor YOUR Insurance in any way cheaper
stronger, or safer. Ii IS desirable, tneioioi0'
only as enabling the company TO extend its use
fitness still more widely and to do Tor greater
number what Ii is doing for you; ana IL Is dlso
desirable only as t can be made without H.
creastng the proportion OF the expense account
which every member OF the company shares III
paying.
The cardinal principle OF management IN so
large company as this already Is, IS 10 so ao-
minister It's affairs as TO give its present MEM
bers the greatest possible results In the way Vi
sound, equitable and cheap insurance, and 10
take on new business only so fast as u can Dc
done without interfering with that prime duty.
AND in these days Of fierce competition by
peculiar plans and heavy rebates extreme care
on our parl and great and unselfsh labor on the
part OF agents are necessary TO secure even
moderate growth without serious increase OF
the exl ense account raising the cost to every
pocy-hOlder.
Ii is, tn refore. gratifying to be able 10 say
that during 1892, for several years past, we
have made substantial gains in new business
crease OF expenses and that as result OF the
economy Of that and OF many previous years
and of a careful handling OF business, we have
been able to materially Increase your rate OF
dividends, thus making the cost OF your lnsur-
ance less even than before. We have also made
notable gains In strength through the increase

purchases in recent years nave been on very IA

A GOOD BILL.

Notice has beeen given that bill
will be introduced prohibiting rail-
ways that carry passengers from rum
ming mixed trains. This is splendid
bill and should become law.
The outrages perpetrated upon the
people OF Phoenix by the Maricopa &
Phoenix railway will thus in measure
be corrected, and several other bills
prohibiting similar abuses will also sooa
be introduced. Ii the legislators desire
any points as to the poor service
furnished by this line they can Sc.
cure them from any man, woman
or child in Phoenix. No person who
has been obliged to travel over this
road would make the trip again if pos
sible to avoid l..
But the bill prohibiting mixed trains
is especially good, and its passage
should be pushed. No measure will be
OF more interest to the city Of PhG-
nix, and every citizen should con-
s:itute himself committee to see that
it does pass and become law.

FEMININE NOVELTIES.

SACHETs are embroidered with the
scent of ilowcr-rose, heliotrope, or vio-
let, as the case may be.
A FRAME for a bride or debutante's
picture is of cream or ivory-white satin
thicllly padded and embroidered with
orange blossoms or roscbuds.
A BRACELET, recently patented, fits
the edge of the cuff like binding, or,
for evening wear, adjusts itself and fin
ishes the rim of the glove at any point
on the arm with a selvage of silver or
gold, as desired. There are times when
one feels that inventors, like immi-
grants, should be restricted.
In London novelty has been intro
duced in the way Of 'ladies' band
that may be hired for entertainments.
They are dressed uniformly in white
Greek dresses, and play only on
stringed instruments. 1t is said that
the effect is exceedingly pretty, and
that their music is quite up to the av-
erage."

ing immigration and money from coming
here.
We do not believe there is any immi-
nent danger of such legislation, but
from thoughtlessness or other causes
the legislators might bring about such a
result.
Radical changes in our laws should
not be made without the consent Of the
people, and especially should there be
no radical and unusual enactments now
that we are upon the verge OF a
constitutional convention, and while
the commonwealth is in that
embryotic state, depending so much
upon capital and immigration from
other sections.

wives of the Presitients.

Three of the first four presidents of
the United States married widows.
The wife of John Quincy Adams, who
received her education in England, Gre
ated a great sensation in the nations
capital. The wife of Martin Van
Buren,, Hannah Hoes, lived but short
time after her marriage, dying about
seventeen years before her husbands
election TO the presidency. President
Tyler's second wife was an ardent Ro-
man Catholic and Mrs. Polk a calm
hammered Presbyterian. Mrs. Willard
Fillmore had been a school-teacher and
the courtship was carried on under diff
icultics, as the lover could rarely afford
the expense Of journey to visit his
hancce. Mrs. Franklin Pierce was the
devout daughter of a clergyman and
made the white house center for
charitable and religious enterprises.

STATEHOOD FOR ARIZONA
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The question OF woman suffrage is one
that will probably be brought to the at
,ention Of the legislature this session,
but it is one which we doubt whether
that body is able to act upon intel
Igeuuy with regard to the views Of
their constituents, as the subject was
not au issue in the late campaign and
has not generally been discussed
throughout the territory.
In view of the fact that the early adj
mission Of Arizona as state is proba-
BILE, and that a new constitution will
have to be framed, it would seem fair
proposition to leave the question of
woman suffrage TO that convention and
let The friends nj the measure secure, il
possible, the election of delegates to the
convention favorable to their ideas.
This would bring it directly before the
people and give them an opportunity to
express their wishes upon the subject.
Then what would still be fairer let the
constitutional convention, if it so de-
sired, submit to the people the clause
granting woman suffrage separately from
the constitution itself, so that the people
might again vote upon the measure and
adopt or reject it as they pleased.
The question is serious one and no
legislator can afford to vote upon the
matter blindly as he would now be
obliged to do. Let the whole matter go
over IOr the constitutional convention
or state legislature to pass upon.
Aside from the fairness of the PROPOSE
tion to permit the voters to decide for
themselves whether or not they want
woman 5UE;aSc, there is a cold business
wow TO be taken. In the conservative and
older settled communities, in all OF the
eastern states, the opposition to woman
suffrage among all classes is widespread
and the prejudice that would be en-
gendered against Arizona should this
legislature adopt the measure would be
Of incalculable injury, when so much
now depends upon capital and immigra-
tion from these sections.
eve therefore hope that the present
legislature will do nothing rashly. and
that there will be no legislation which
Is Impractical or ridiculous, or that
would result in prejudicing outsiders
against us.
We have reached that period in our
existence when romance and sentiment
should give place to cold, practical
business affairs. There is much valu-
s"ir legislation to occupy the time of
the legislature, and this body can do a
great deal towards restoring confidence
in our securities and our resources, and
building up the industries OF the terri
tory, 80 soon to become state, with.
Out wasting time upon will-o'-the- sp
questions that will not add dollar to
our wealth and may result in keep

Pneumonia.
by WIN. W. HIBBARD, NJ. d.

Acute pneumonia varies in it's sew
Gritty. Although some seasons it is
quite light, at other times it is the re-
verse. These variations are not readily
explainable. Undoubtedly the cause is
largely atmospheric. One influence
which causes serious results in this
disease is largely due to previous health.
When the physical state has been I'M
dermined and weakly constitution has
thereby resulted acute pneumonia be-
comes serious. There is no single habit
or condition which influences more
unfavorably than that Of habitual
drunkenness. In cases OF long con-
timed ahuse OF alcohol the mortality is
large no matter how scientific the treat
ment NAV be, ranging from 20 to % per
cent. When here are complications in
pneumonia they should at the earliest

EIGHTEEN WE'RE ON BOARD.
A COAL BARGE GOES ASHORE.

ONEKAMA, Mich. Oct. 15.-The big
schooner Minnehaha was beached at
Starke, ten miles north of here, at noon
yesterday, to save her from laundering
in deep water. The seas soon over
whelmed the wreck and drove the crew
into rigging. Before the arrival of the
ltfe-saving crew from Manistee and
Frankfort the schooner went to pieces.
But one, Capt. William Packer, was
saved. The dead are:
JOHN RAFFERTY,, mate.
JOHN RAFFERTY, Jr., sailor.
MARY JANE, cook.
THREE SAILORS, names unknown.
The wreck was first sighted by man
on the bluff at Starke, who jumped on
his horse and rode at a furious pace
through the storm to this place in order
to notify the lfe-Saving crew at Man
istee.
The progress of the life savers was
exceedingly slow. and it was nearly
midnight when they reached the hlgh
sand bluff overlooking the lake at
Starke. The life-saving crew from
Frankfort gained the bluff at dark, but
even then it was too late.
All the life-savers could do was to
care for Capt. Packer, who had jumped
overheard and swan ashore. All night
long they patrolled the beach. with the
hope that some poor sailor might have
revived and would be thrown up by the
surf, but their efforts were without re-
ward.
There was nothing to indicate where
the schooner had stranded yesterday.
a mass of wreckage thrown up by the
surf on the beach was all there was left
of the wreck.
