BACK FROM THE PEACE MEETINcs
DIR. Campbell Returns from the Conference
at Ocean Grove.


DR.. w. A. Campbell has returned from
Ocean Grove, whittier he went. at the
request OF the Christian Arbitration and
Peace Society, OF Philadelphia. to deliver
an address at convention held there
under the auspices of that body. He says
that there were several able addresses
made curing the sessions DR. Benjamin
r. Trucblood, OF Boston. gave con-
densed outline history OF cases Of arbitra-
tion between nations. which Is worthy Of
a first place as a standard In the history
OF this subject. He explained the char
acter and circumstances Of many OF the
most important international settlements.
by which wars seriously threatened had
been averted. There have been seventy
seven OF these cases in the last seventy
seven years.
.'he subject OF Or. Campbells address.
by request OF the committee which ar
ranged the programme for the convention.
was '"rhe Churches of Christsndom Peti-
tloning the Governments in Behalf OF
Arbitration" He gave an account of the
character and progress OF that work,
covering the whole Christian world. con-
Quoted by a committee In this city. Of
which he is chairman. The audi
ence in the large auditorium on
the evening Of the address was
estimated az not less than 200. Many
Of the friends OF peace. after hearing
his account of what had been done. ex-
pressed their approval Of this plan OF
bringing the influence OF Christian senu-
,nent upon the governments OF Christian
countries. and their confident belief that
the united voice of the Church for peace
ful settlement of difficulties would have
ereat weight.

Some people. may Toe mean enough TO
doubt whether Actuary George w

spoken so impressively at Chicago of
the need of economy In the MANAGEMENT
of life-insurance had not his company. .ac-
cepted position from which such re-
marks could be delivered, not only with
safety, but with certainty of provoking
comparisons 10 the advantage OF the
Equitable. Mr.. Phillips modestly re-
Trained from mentioning the fact that
his company has been making a fad OF
cutting expense. and has reduced the ratio
OF management expenses to income from
2e.l9 In 1891, to 1872 In 1899. and 1890 in
1893. IL has decreased expenses actually
as well as proportionately. its business
costing s7.SS3. s9451 IN 1891, and only ST.
Ga 0ls. 20 In 1898. Neither OF the other
giants has done so well. and we may
expect from the Equitable some vigorous
riding of this hobby. The MutuaPs ex-
pense OF management In 1891 was 1884
per cent. OF its income. l7.i2 per cent.
in lss2. and 1855 per cent. In 1885, there
beins an actual increase from 81. .s75. 4si. 32
IN 1881 10 81, ,045. 1856 In 1893. The per-
ceptage from the New York Life was
ls.7s in 1891, 1905 in 1892. ard 1926 in 1888.
Under these circumstances Mr.. Phillips
could declare with much feeling that II

The INSURANCE WAS PAID.
The Agent Surprised when Told That
Foul PLAY Was Suspected.

The Insurance policy for s2i on the life
OF Irene Holmes. the colored child who
was beaten to death by her stepmother
Sallie Holmes. at No. 2030 Moore street.
last week. was presented at the office of
the Metropolitan Insurance Company yes
terday by Frank Holmes, father of the
deceased child, and paid.
on Monday, July 10th, only one week
since. Frank Holmes took out policy
on the life Of his daughter, Irene, for
s2i. on which he was to pay cents per
week. The child was examined by the
ccmpany's physician and pronounced a
good risk. and accordingly the policy was
issued Three weeks premiums, 10 cents
were paid by the parent at the time OF
Issuance, and nothing more was thought
OF the matter BY the insurance people
trt!l yesterday. when Holmes, in conf
pany with Undertaken W. /. Johnson,
who held a claim of $3.50 against him
for funeral expenses. appeared at the Of
fee Of the company. on Ninth street,
and exhibiting a dcath-certiticate duly
signed by DR.. J. c. Deaton. asked for
srd was paid the s4 dcath claim.
When the Dispatch man visited the
insurance-ofiice about an hour after the
claim had been paid and advised the
MI a. - fldihAiit, Va
the circumstances of the childs death. It
was the first inumation he had Of any
suspicion OF foul play. and he at once in
stituted steps to recover the amount paid.
provided the child was, is believed
by some, murdered for the insurance
money
DENIES CRUEL TREATMENT
Holmes was seen by the Dispatch man
II -. al n L lin
street.. and when asked concerning the
alleged cruelty of his wife to his child,
emphatically denied that there was any
truth In the matter.
II don't believe" said he. that Sallie
ever beat her. The child had been sick
for over two weeks, and | think she died
from that" When he was reminded or
the marks of violence that were found
on the child's body, he said nothing. He
said he had been induced To take out
the policy of the Metropolitan company
by one OF its agents, and at the same
time had taken out one each on the lives
~ t.nself, wife. and other daughter.
He did not appear to be at all distressed
over the death pf the child, and was
very little concerned over his wife s
predicament.
COULDN'T BEAT HER.
When Sallie was seen in her cell at
the iail she appeared 10 be very doclle,
and i'm an hysterical fashion she said that
she had never maltreated the child. but
on the contrary had done everything IN
her power to add to its comfort. she
claims to have cut up her own clothes In
order to supply the two children with de-
cent apparel. II could not have beaten
her." she sobbed. 'as she had been sick
for over month"
She attributes her trouble to difficulty
which she had with Camp Johnson, ana
says the testimony given by her nus
bands other child and the neighbors was
the work OF Johnson. who had prejudiced
them against her.
The child was buried Sunday In the
colored burying-ground, near Barton
Heights.
