 The weather being very inclement prevented the meeting of tIie Nine teeuth Century club on Wednesday night of last week. at the residence f Mrs. Hurley. as contemplated. but that busy little woman did not propose to let the weather .out,lo her. SD Sire took advantage of inc first pretty day there after. which was Friday, to notify the members of tile club that she would ei- certain them upon that night. Accord ingiy a goodly number of the gentlpr sex gathered and spent delightful evening. The men folks failed to mate rialize. as they have been wont to do for some time. until late hour. when sev- eral dropped in. But it was then too late to hear the inaugural address of President F. Turley, which is said to have been the feature of the evening. It was delightful meeting, splen- did programme, and we gained much information by listening to the recita- tions, and leading from Mir. Wallace's writings.
 Call on Geo. P. Taylor & Co.. for Fire Insurance. They represent the liberal and progressive Hartford Fire Insurance Co. The annual reports for 1893 now being submitted to the audi tor of state by the fire insurance com panies, as required by law. show some astonishing figures. Probably but few of our readers realize the magnitude of the business of fire insurance cOmpa nies in this country. The report of a single company in the agency of Will kerson x Fisher, the Hartford. shows for last year, receipts $4,376, 900, dis bursements. B ,SS2, GOO, which is mere thun Sl2.50O every working day in the year. There are several hundred fire insurance companies In the United States. Of course, the business of the old company named is not to be taken as an average, but there are others do- ing as much business as the Hartford; no doubt many others whose transAc- ti0ns exceed e1 ,000, 900 a year, and they all have some patronage. What aii enormous sum of money all these companies together must distribute for losses every year, and what fearful waste or values by fire it represents ?

THE way to get rid OF tramps, which
has long been known and has many times
been proved, is to make their food and
shelter depend absolutely upon work
Last winter, the city of Baltimore rid
itself of tramps by refusing to give them
a place to sleep except on condition OF
their earning it. The result was that
when other cities were overrun with
tramps, Baltimore was free of them, and
thus relieved, the city turned It's attention
to finding work for the deserving unem-
ployed. This work came so near to pay
ing for itself that only an insignificant
sum of money was required to prevent &C
tual suffering This interesting sociology
cal result has, therefore, again demon
strated, that it is the tramp-the idler who
does not want work-that causes the de-
INC ralization in a time of distress, and
prevents the involuntary idle from finding
proper aid. A very interesting and conn.,
plete explanation of this experiment ap-
pears in the June number of The Forum,
by DIR E. R. L. Gould, of til Johns Hop
kins university. who had the direction OF
this important work.

WITH the south exporting Sc, 100000 of
cotton manufactures and enIarging its
facilities especially to supply the coarser
fabrics. it begins to look as if New Eng
lands supremacy was doomed. Condi-
tons OF the late depression compelled
close economy and the introduction of
labor saving appliances. Location. cheap
freights and fuel have impaired new i'm
portance. The records show that southern
factories increased their consumption last
year is, 900 bales, while northern spinners
fell away to the extent of 265, 600. The
southern mill with free raw material, has
an advantage New England factories never
can gain, and whether it be in the fine or
coarse grades, the southern product is
rapidly assuming an Importance and de-
vslopment that threatens seriously the
ultro protection C. nters of the north. This
is phase of the tariff question Senator
Hawley can find no room for in his argu-
ment against granting New England re-
lief.

ALBANY, May Ex-Governor Flower
took action in the case of the charges
against Sheriff Beck Of willful neglect of
the duties of his office on election day last
year in refusing or neglecting to serve
warrants that would have prevented seri-
Gus crimes at the polls When the charges
were made, Governor Flower called upon
Beck, who is a Democrat, to file an an
swer. He did so, and the governor APP
pointed Henry w. Bentley of Bonneville
as referee.
Mr.. Bentley made his report on the 10th
of March and found that while the sheriff
had not willfully neglected his duty or
been guilty Of criminal negligence, still he
had not properly performed the duties of
his office.
Governor Flower finds that latter a
careful examination certain of said charges
are true, and that the said Beck did not
perform his full duty in the preservation
of order at the polls and the enforcement
of the law on the 7th of November last.

SARATOGA, May 29.-The one hundred

ahead of schedule time. The final business
of the body was put through with unusual
dispatch and without any sighting of the
work done The final scenes were up

said that for two things he was profound

Dissatisfaction had been expressed by
some of the moderately conservative COM
missioners at the composition of the COM
mittee appointed to confer with the SEM
mary directories as to the new plan of sem
mary control, and especially concerning
the committee appointed to advise with
the trustees of Lane seminary. The report
of the committee sent to confer with Pro
fessor Smith as to his future relations was
what had been anticipated.
The resolutions Oh temperance were
more moderate than for several years, and
yet they brought out more opposition than
usual. The resolutions concerning appro-
priations for sCatarian schools were passed
with great unanimity and were ordered

ers with the views of Professor Smith,
