A Matter of Business.

"Mr. Bong said the secretary of
the Fearful Accident Insurance compa-
ny, "be sure and drop in at old Cur
mudge's as you pass this morning and
express your sympathy over the loss of
his brother in the railroad accident yes
terday. Express mine also to him. %
"But old Curmudge had no brother
in the accident, said the canvasser.
what has that to do with it?' said
the secretary cheerily. "All he can do
is to tell you so.
but it might unnecessarily alarm
him, persisted the canvasser.
''That's the point; that's exactly the
point, " returned the secretary cheerily.
Alarm him as much as possible. His
own policy runs out next month, and it
is one of our duties to remind our pa
irons that in the midst of life we are
surrounded by accidents. - London

LIFE INSURANCE COMPAN Y
- OF -
PORTLAND, MAINE.

At this festive season of the year,
season at which each man vies with
his neighbor in the making of some gift
to the members of his immediate family
and friends, it is peculiarly fitting, that
the UNIQUE advantages of Life Insur-
ance should be kept in view. The ten
dency of the age is to be PRACTICAL,
and it is therefore worthy of note By
those who contemplate making holiday
presents, that nothing can exceed for
benefcence and solidity a Life Policy
which will in the event Of the death of
the bread-winner protect the Home and
afford nurture and sustenace to the
bereaved, be they old or young. 1t does
not require any very vivid fight of
Imagination to comprehend the possibili-
ties of fifty-fold return consequent up
on an outlay for the acquisition of Life
Insurance; whereas, similar outlay up
on something more pleasing to the eye
and possibly of perishable or breakable
nature could not afford the solid and
lasting benefit to be obtained by and
through policy in the Union Mutual,
a possession which no family should lack
but one which should be treasured in
every home. dec23eodtf

One of the most animated and heated
sessions of Baths city council was held
Wednesday night, ending at midnight in
deadlock between the two boards. The
most important matter of the session
was the introduction in the board of al
dermen of an order authorizing tempo
rary loan of 900 for two months to
meet bills against the city that are or
may become due. Mayor Shaw asked
that loan for that sum be made. and
said that taxes this year were not so east
ly collected, owing to the depression of
business; that there was about $780,
unsolicited taxes, and that the collector
was confident that one-haif of that sum
could be collected by the first of March.
The aldermen passed the order, but the
council refused.

VICTORIAN AUTHORS.

In the year of the Queens accession to the
throne, the great writer's of the early part
of this century were either dead or silent.
Scott, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Coleridge,
Lamb, Sheridan, Hazlitt, Macintosh,
Crabbe and Cobbett, were gone There were
still living in 1887, Wordsworth, Southey,
Campbell, Moore, Jeffrey, Sidney Smith,
De Quincey, Miss Edgeworth Leigh Hunt,
Brougham and Samuel Rogers-hving, it is
true but they had all produced their impor-
tant work at some earlier date. Car
lyle, Dickens, Thackeray, Macaulay,
Tennyson, Browning, had begun to
write, but Were not generally known
Thepljneipal English authors who belong
equally TO the Georgian and to the Victorian
Age are Landor, Bulwer, Disraeh, Hallam,
and Milman, and they are not quite in the
very first rank in either age. 1t is a signifi-
can't fact that the reign Of the Queen has
produced, with trifing exceptions, the whole
work of Tennyson the Brownings, Thacker-
ay,. Dickens, the Brontes, George Eliot,
Kingsley, Trollope, Spencer, Mill, Darwin,
Rnskin, Grote.. Macaulay, Freeman, Froude,

GEORGE W. oHlLDs DEAD.
The Great flanthroplst and Editor
Passed Away This Morning.

EAsbcO AWAY HE
/ PHILADELPHIA, Feb. B. IS94.-At min
ute past three o'clock this morning the
earthly career of the great philanthropist
and editor, George w. Childs, closed.
His death has been looked for for
days and the end came painlessly. Around
his bedside were the membars OF
his family. Two weeks ago he was
stricken with paralysis and since then has
scarcely uttered word. He was SO distin-
guished son of America that his death is a
national calamity.
Possessed of vast wealth, endowed with
superlative energy, he was honored in all
lands
He was bornin Baltimore, Nd, May IL,
1929, and was thus sixty-five years of age.
His life was begun in humble circumstances,
and it seems wonderful that boy working
for 50 a week sweeping out store should
climb into the editorial chair of great
newspaper, be offered the nomination for
President, and be the owner of millions
gained exclusively by his own efforts.
Yet this was Geo. Childs, the personiffca-
tion of true American manhood.
His death won't alter the policy of the
Public Ledger, but it will be owned exclu-
sively by the four surviving children of the
late Anthong J. Drexel.

ceny; Frank George. false pretenses. The
jury then returned to its room to continue
its Investigations in the affairs Of the Street
and Water Board.
Later they had before them City Hall
Commissioner Emile Datz, Frederick Kis-
sam, the former, and Frederick Farrell, the
present Clerk of the board, for the purpose
of knowing something OF the purchase OF the
City Hall site
Then they tackled the Board of Free
holders, and Chief Engineer E. S. Harrison
told them all he knew about the Boulevard.
He was directed to produce bills for money
spent on the road, and these were to include
what the lawyers were paid.

TEACHING THE DEAF.
Remarkable System BY Which thu
Dumb Are Taught to Sneak

Dumb Are Taught to Speak.
Perhaps the teacher is himself, deaf, the
graduate of some State institution, a mem
Der of one or more organizations of deaf
mutes associating daily with sign taught
adults. Without casting any disparagement
upon his abilities, we beg leave to say he is
not as competent to decide the matter as a
hearing person would be; he receives
opinions from both sides, but he can not
judge impartially. The greater his faith
in the character of those who advocate
articulation, the greater his faith
in that system, but being sign
taught himself, he would like to feel his
education was superior. Some principals
have an oral department, by which is
meant that certain number of pupils are
taught speech, and by speech receive in
struction in all studies. As much as pos
sible they are kept apart from the other
upon the first arrangement, though it is
matter for regret that some should have
such an advantage over others. A few
superintendents feel this, and are arrang
ing to have all new pupils taught speech,
and as the older ones are graduated the
manual department becomes small Other
institutions advocate combined method,
using both speech and signs with all pu-
pills, one or the other system receiving the
greater attention according to the views
Of the principal in charge Schools have
pupils by speech only, and are called oral
schools and number of teachers are
scattered over the country who fill the
positions of resident or visiting governesses.
Thus there is a disposition to advance the
cause of the education of the deaf, and q
wide difference In opinion as to what is
best. ~ Popular Science Monthly

BIG CHURCH SCANDAL AHEAD.

There are rumors abroad of scandal OF
the first magnitude in a leading down town
church, noted for its aggressive methods.
The parties to whom the current stories re-
fer are prominent business man who is one
of the pillars of the church, and a lady who
has heretofore been popular in its social cir
cles. The other members of the congrega-
tion have, it is said, been much worried by
the gossip which has been more or less cur
rent for some time; but, today, it was said
that matters were reaching climax through
the impending commencement Of legal pro-
ceedings and the disruption Of two families.
When the case gets into court very racy
developments are expected.

the laws and sound customs of each of these
islanders, and showed the distinct traces of
the Vandal horde, of which they are the
sole survivals Mrs. Wait treats her sub
jects in an attractive manner, and combines
