The Maine Non Forfeiture Law,

There can be no reasonable doubt, but
that one of the chief contributing factors
in the Union Mutuafs acquisition of
New Business is the fact that the -Bene-
fits of the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law
are daily becoming better understood by
intending insurers-and with this clearer
understanding they naturally secure
Policies containing it's benefits, it being
equally well understood that the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of
Portland Maine. is the only cOmpa-
my issuing Policies under this law.
During the twenty-six weeks constitut-
ing the first half of 1898. no fewer than
thirteen notices of Deaths were re-
ceived in which the respective Policy-hol-
dershad through some cause or causes al
lowed their Policies to lapse, and upon
which, without any action whatever on
their part, their insurance was continued
by the benefcent operation of the Maine
Non-Forfeiture Law. These Policies ag-
gregated in amount more than $62, 1000.
One of these cases will suffice to show
the far-reaching scope and liberal char
acter of this law:
POLICY, NO. 90, 939........ AMOUNT 81 900
CHARLES T. FOX, LEWISTON, Me.
15-Year Endowment Annual Premium $67 40
Policy issued March Is. 1890
Lapsed for non-payment OF Premium, March
Id, 1898.
Insured died, June II, 1898.
Proofs OF death received June 27. 1888.
Draft in settlement payable on demand0 for
warded to Beneficiary, June 20, 1898.
Tie amount of the draft was $979.64.
such being the face of the Policy, less
the foreborne Premium for one year at
Ordinary Life rate, viz: Twenty dollars
mot Endowment Premium of $6740
such as he would have paid had the pol
icy been in full force at the time Of death
by the payment of premiums) and thirty
six cents interest thereon. The simple
narration of the facts herein set forth,
without laudation is the most eloquent
tribute that such law can have.

these vessels were almost constantly in
sight of each other, and on May 20 the
greatest distance between any two was
about fifty miles; four of them were
within twenty miles of each other on
that date. Stormy weather, the first
week in June separated them, but on
June 10 the American ship Tlllle Il.
Starbuck was about fifteen miles to
windward of the leading English vessel.
All arrived at their destination within
the next two days, and thus ended the
beautiful struggle over distance OF
$500 miles. at the end of which the
honors again fell to an American YES
sci.
Each captain of the five vessels that
left San Francisco March % and % put
up $3.50 each on his ship, the winner to
take $1,000 and the second in to save his
stakes.

Though good many national banks
have closed their doors during the pres
ert financial furry no holder of their
bills has lost a single dollar. Their cur
rency is just as good as if the banks
doors were open, and they were in the
most fourishing condition. But suppose
the recommendation of the Democratic
platform be accepted by Congress, and
the State banks be revived, will the next
financial furry pass without the holders
of their notes meeting with severe loss?
If the State banks are revived each
State will determine the conditions under
which the banks of that State may issue
circulating notes. The conditions will
vary in the different States, the security
will differ also, and instead OF a single
bank currency the basis of which is well
known, and as nearly perfect as any Sc
curity can be, we may have as many diff
ferent kinds as there are States in the
Union, based on a great variety of secu-
rites, about many of which the people
will know but little. In panic it is in
evitable that SUCH bank currency as
that will entail great loss upon its
holders.

A great many people are asking them
selves why the attendance of the work

been SO small. A correspondent of the
Boston Transcript says that the princi-

could not afford to go.

The manufacturers of all kinds of
agricultural machinery have been booking
some large orders from Argentina of late
and many concerns have devised special
plans for machines adapted to the cult
waiting and harvesting of crops. There
is plenty of land down there, and the
magnitude of some of the machines
would lead a person to believe that the
whole continent was going to be planted
with single crop. There are vast SOW
ing machines, steam plows and harvest
inc machines as large as small houses,
which cut the wheat and leave it stand
ing in large bundles on the field.

The Labor Commissioner of Iowa has
been investigating the subject Of teach

that they make very poor showing
alongside of the wages paid to other
workers, even unskilled workers. The
average salary paid to women is only
$243. 16 a year, while to men it is only
$29S.3O per year. Naturally Iowa is be-
ginning to complain of poor teachers.

George G. Perkins, who has been ap-
pointed by the governor of California to
succeed Senator Stanford, is a native of
Kennebunkport. When twelve years old
he ran away to sea, and finally turned up
in California. He was first miner,
afterwards a country store keeper. He
founded the firm of Goodall, Perkins &
Co., of Sacramento, which for many
years has been the heaviest owner in

elected governor of the State by the
Republicans. He is reputed very
wealthy.

following the iron ship City of Athens,

The race was won by the Pinmore,
which arrived at Queenstown July H.,
after a voyage of III days. This is not
particularly good time. The Comet
made the passage from Frisco to New
York in Is days; the Northern Lights
from Frisco to Boston in II days, sailing
IL. 900 miles and averaging over 200 miles
a day for the whole voyage. The Sover-

records that still remain Unequaled.

We find in the Rocky Mountain Daily
News of Denver, Colorado, an extended
report of the impressions of Capt. George
W. Thatcher Of Aspen gathered from
conversations with men closely identified
with the administration. 1t seems that
Capt. Thatcher, who is a large mine
owner, did not profess to have seen Presi-
dent Cleveland or Secretary Carlisle, but
only confidential friends of theirs, who
were supposed to know what their views
on the silver question were.

Reports as to ex-Speaker Crisp's state
of mind are so contradictory that it is
difficult to form a conclusion. The
probability is, however, that Mr.. Crisp
will pay more heed to the sentiment of
the section from which he comes than
to that of any other. That section is the
South, and the South, unless it has
changed its views very recently is not in
sympathy with gold bugs" 1t is
pretty safe to assume, therefore, that the
gold bugs will get little comfort from
Speaker Crisp.
