This occasion brings for our con-

intrusted to MS by the people Of our

Texas has reserved the Office OF

with the names Of Houston, OF Ru,k,
of Wigfall,ot Hemphil), Of Roberts, Of

no less illustrious. And today we are
to add another star to that galaxy.
Indeed, it now glitters there with a
lustre undimmed by the radiance oil

INDURATED FIBER,
The New MIL Nearing Completion Near
Lockport, New York.

The new plant of the Indurated Fibre
Company at Jacksonville, New York,
which is being erected opposite the site
of the one burned last July, is nearing
completion. The eight large stone
structures which comprise the plant
cover an area Of about ten acres, with a
branch of the New York Central railroad
connecting with each, making the
shipping facilities unexcelled, The
buildings comprised are as follows: A
boiler room 50x50 feet, with q smoke
stack, so feet high; a forming room
5ox15O feet; dry house 11ox17 feet; sand
ing room 92x1s0 feet; packing room 50x120
feet; bake oven S0x100 feet and an en-
ormous store room to be built near the
railroad tracks Oh Mill street.
The coal shutes when completed are to
have capacity Of 600 tons.
The floors of the different buildings
are to be three inches, covered with one
inch maple. The machinery is now be-
ing placed in position, and when COM
pleted this will be at least twice as large
as any other Fibre mandatory in the
world, and the only one in New York
State. The number of men employed on
the buildings at one time, was about
$50, comprising stone and brick masons,
carpenters, mechanics and laborers. 1t
is expected about the same number of
men will also be employed when the
plant is in operation, the aggregate wages
of whom will amount to about So, 600 per
week, and the capacity is expected to be
1900 pieces of ware daily The 18th of
November is the date fixed for the COM
mencement of work. The officers are:
President and General Manager, jesse
Peterson of Lockport; Secretary, Henry
G.. Cordley. of New York; Treasurer,
James e. Hayes of New York; Assistant
Treasurer Chas. E. Folger of Lockport.

DEERING.

Although the city government has as
yet taken no action, there seems to be
little doubt that the contract for sup
plying the electric lights will go to S.
D.Warren & Co., of Cumberland Mills,
the firm supplying the lights at present.
AT the recent hearing the Warrens
showed their unimstakable determine
lights for houses, even if the street light
ing should be done by Marsh Brothers.
AS the latter firm would hardly care to
put in steam electric light plant with
SO formidable competition in the field for
house lighting, it is probable that they
will not push the matter in regard to
street lighting.

pany adjourned at a late hour, wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Higgins twenty-five years
more of health and happiness, on to
their golden wedding.
The forty hours devotion service was

A story is told of Brillat-Savarin, the

it is not easy to tell where safety begins in
oyster eating.
1.-THE despair of my life is that can never

sCome and dine with me. and you shall
have your fill" replied Savarin.
The friend, one NJ. Laperte, came, and for
one hour devoted himself to eating oysters
When he had swallowed 81 dozen and was
proceeding to eat the thirty-second, the
host rung foT the, soup, saying:
Mot today, my friend, will destiny allow
you to eat at your fill" Nj. Laperte did
ample justice to the dinner which followed

AN EXCELLENT SHOWING.

AN EXCELLENT SHOWING.
The new business written by the
Union Mutual Life Insurance Company
in September exceeded
Six Hundred Thousand Dollars.
This result achieved as it was in spite
of the heavy blow dealt the Company on
the last day of August, by the death of
its President through railroad accident,
is evidence of the spirit of determination
pervading its Agents, and is, moreover,
practical intimation on their part of their
intention to turn to the Company's best
advantage the object lesson so painfully
afforded, and which, above all, so vivid
ly portrayed tie uncertainty of life and
the consequent imperative need for In
surance Protection.
The new business showing for Septem-
Der can be best judged by the following
comparisons.
SEPTEMBER, 1898, WAS THE.
LARGEST OF ANY CORRESPONDING
MONTH FOR SIXTEEN YEARS.
1T WAS THE ONLY SEPTEMBER
DURING THAT PERIOD IN WHICH.
THE 5000, 900 MARK WAS EXCEEDED.
IT EXCEEDED THE PRECEDING
MONTH AUGUST, 1887 BY NEARLY
$4,000.
1T EXCEEDED SEPTEMBER, 1892,
BY $71,000.
IT EXCEEDED THE SEPTEMBER
AVERAGE FOR THE PRECEDING
SIXTEEN YEARS BY 1924, 1871.
NOTICES o. DEATHS.
Notwithstanding the large INCREASE
in the Insurance in Force during the
current year, the Notices of Deaths re-
ceived by the Union Mutual from
January l, to September 80, SHOW a
DECREASE of FORTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS when compared with the
corresponding period OF 1892.
