lively into politics rs a Clay Whig. He was
member of the lower House of the Massachu-
sets Legislature from 1834-1840. and was
Speaker OF the House the last three years.
In 1910 ne was sent to Congress, where for
ten years he made record for himself as q
ready dabater and skilful parliamentarian.
From 1847-49 he was Speaker of the House
and was defeated tor reelection by two
votes after a three weeks contest. In 1850
the Governor Of Massachusetts appointed
him to fill tho unexpired term of Senator
Daniel Webster, who then became Secretary
of State. His attitude as to the question of
slavery was not satisfactory to men of ex-
treme views North and South, and he was
defeated by Charles Summer in 1851 for
seat in the Senate by q coalition of Demo-
Gratis and Free Sellers. In the same year
Mr. Winthrop was the Whig candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts, and received a
large plurality, but as the constitution of
the State at that time required a ma ajority
the election was thrown into tho Legisla-
ture, where thesaIne influence defeated him.
He then retired from politics and gave him
self to literary. historical. and philanthrop1c
work. He became the chief counselor of
George Peabody in his philanthropy.
1t was as the favorite orator on great his
toricaI anniversaries that Mr.. Winthrop was
best known by the public. He left many
writings and speecos on historical subjects.
Mr.. Winthrop was the oldest surviving ex-
United States Senator from Massachusetts,
and was also the oldest surviving ex-Speaker
of tho National House of Representatives,
having been elected to the Thrtieth Con-
gress, and enjoyed the distinction of having
personally known every President of the

into the reserve fund about $SS, O00,-

forms the capital. In the year last
reported more than $780, 900 was
paid in indemnities, and more thar
$3, ,00O,0 900 was added to the reserve
fund. 1t is now proposed to extend
the system to apprentices and EN-
ployes whose wages do not exceed
$476 year.

The annual report Of DR.. W. T.
Harris, Commissioner Of Education,
says that twenty-three per cent of the
population attend school during some
period Of the year. The average
period of attendance during the year,
however, is only eighty-nine days for
each pupil. The report says: cit
would seem to be the purpose OF our
system to give i'll the mentary
schools to every child the ability to
read. When he leaves school he is
expected to continue his education by
reading the printed pages Of news,
papers and books. The great increase
of public libraries in the United States
is significant of progress towards
the realization of this idea. In 1892
we had over 1000 public libraries,
with more than 1000 books in each.
The schools teach how to read; the
libraries furnish what to read. But
far surprising the libraries in educa
tive influence are the daily newspapers
and magazines. We are governed by
public opinion as ascertainea and ex.
pressed by the newspapers to such
degree that our civilization is Justly
to be called a newspaper civilization.
The library and the newspapers are
our chief instrumentalitle for the
continuation OF school and the univer
sity. Lecture courses, scientific anc
literary associations are assisting

A NOVEL UNDERTAKING.
a Great Company Furnishes Its Em-
pIoyes Free Medical Attendance.

William L. Douglas, President OF tho
". L. Douglas Shoe Co., has always
had a great personal interest in Tie army OF
men and women who inhabit tho great fac
tory at Montello. Mass. He is a great be-
lever in the idea that manufacturers should
have this personal interest in the condition
oftheir employees, and feels that il the idea
is carried out to the extent that is possible,
that it will result ultimately in tho breaking
down of the barriers which have been built
up between employers and those whom theV
employ.
Mr. Douglas is satisfied that n scheme
he has originated is a good one, and he has
now put it 10 practical test. few days ago
he handed to every person in his employ
and they form a small army--a card, which
entitled the bearer 80 full and free medical
attendance while employed by the w. L..
Douglas Shoe Company. A competent and
skilfu physician will be at the private office
of the company at IL M, daily, except Sun
days and holidays. II said emplOYe should
be detained at home by sickness, the ply
sician will give full and free medical attend
ance there"
Blank spaces are left in the card for tho
name and residence Of the emplOye, and 1t
is signed by Mr. Douglas, as President of the
W. L. Douglas Shoe Company. The condi-
tions printed on the card are as follows !:
''The physician will not mako visits outside
the city limits. This ticket is not transfer
able, and does not apply to the family of the
employe, and must be returned as soon as
the term of employment ceases. This privl-
lege is a free gut OF the company and is no
part OF the contract tor wages and may be
made void by the company, at its OVID
option. without notice"
A doctor has been engaged to attend sick
employees, and everything that medical skill
can accomplish will be done for theLI dur
ing Illness.
This is a practical illustration Of the plan.
It will doubtless be appreciated by the hun
dreds who receive the cards. Mr. Douglas
believes there ace hundreds Of workingmen
and workingwomen who fin a doctors bill
a great burden after a period of enforced
idleness. and that if this is lifted from them
they must feel that their employer is inter-
ested in them in some ether way than SIM
ply to get all the work he can for just as lit
tie money as he can. Mr.. Douglas says also
that there are men and women who keep
at work when it would be better for
their health if they laid off Il day or
two and received medical attendance. Then
again they will now feel free to consult the
doctor for slight troubles, which heretofore
they would not do because of the cost.
Speaking of the ". l.. Douglas Shoe Co., it
may be said furt her that in their factory the
principle of arbitration is recognized Mr..
Douglas is a firm believer in the principle
and has been since the establishment of the
State Board of Arbitration. The firm Obliges
every employe to sign an agreement to sub
nit any disagreement that may arise, and
which cannot be settled by the interested
parties. to the State Board Of Arbitration,
