HOW Is THIS :?

The Spectator of (of N " tables for 1898

earned by the q leading life insurance
companies They show that the Union
Central Life Insurance Co, of Cincinnati,
o., ratio for 1894 IL 7.Ol per cent, against
5 .66 per cent, the highest of any other COM
pany, and 80 per cent, the general aver
age This is an extraordinary showing for
the Union Central, being 1 35 per cent
above the ratio OF any other company.
That is to say, on an equal amount OF
money invested the Union Central earns
as much as the best of the other companies
and nearly one fourth more
Extending the comparison for twenty
years, from 1875 to 1894, the average OF the
Union Central for all that time is 6 66
against SO, the highest Of any other com
pany, and SIS the general average
The Union Central average per cent Of
death claims for thirteen years, compared
to mean amount of insurance In force, has
been 0 IS, or 65 cents for each / undred dol
lars insured. The lowest aver re Of any
other company has been Q rs and the high

other best companies has been 1856
The above are the vital points Of man
agement in life insurance company, and
from the actual records we can grant all
any other company claims and stall have a
margin left in our favor.
The results of high interest and low

DEATH OF MRS. HAMILTON.
Her Death was Very Sad and an I'm
expected One.

HeE Death was very Sdu anu an OA~
expected One.
A very sad death indeed was that OF
Mrs. Henrietta Garrett Hamilton which
occurred last night at II o'clock at her
home on Main street. She was the wife
of Mr.. Patrick Hamilton, express mes
senger on the Norfolk and Western Rail
road and had been a resident of Durham
only few months owing to which fact,
and to her quiet retiring disposition, very
few of our people enjoyed the privilege
of knowing her. She was a consecrated
member Of the Episcopal Church and
those who knew her speak in highest
terms of her as a most lovable woman.
She had been sick for several days,
but her condition was not considered
serious, so little so that her husband
made his usual run on Saturday. Sat
urday night her disease, fever,
took turn for the worse and DR.. N. P.
Boddie, the attending physician, was
sent for early Sunday morning. Later
in the day her condition became alarm
ing, and DR.. J. NJ Manning was called
in. She grew worse rapidly aud before
midnight she died. The body was taken
this morning by the heartbroken hus-
band, accompanied by Mr.. R. O. Stand
ard to Glover, Va, for burial.

Chicago Counterfeiters Who
Deceived Even a Post
office Inspector.
Officers Unearth a Gang That Has
Been Operating For
Many Years.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 13-The most ex-
tensive gang of counterfeifers which has
operated in this country for many years
was located in Chicago last night. They
gave the officers the slip to-day, but they
are being tracked and will soon be cap
tured if Captain Porter's plans carry.
The gang has been making 5, 10, %, so
cent and 81 silver pieces and greenbacks in
the So denomination.
The silver limitations are most excellent.
and will deceive the ordinary observer both
in looks, weight and ring, but the S. bills
are so good that they have gotten into cir
culation through the banks, and even the
postoffice inspector was fooled on one of
them, not believing it was counterfeit after
told, until the sub-treasury officers here
had been convinced.
The gang has been operating from a
house on West Erie street, near Carpenter.
The counterfeiters have used the whole
building, and are said to have an outfit of
plates, dies, crucibles and printing presses.
The operations are carried on by eight
Italians the leader of whom is reported to
be worth over $100 5000, made in the
counterfeiting business The counterfeiters
have agents in every principal city in the
United States. Reports of their spurious
coin and bills have been received from
every quarter for the past month, and for
that length of time the members of the
Government secret service have been en-
gagged in hunt for the plant.

APPALLING TO LIBERALS.
Returns From Each District Shotc Enor-
3nous Losses.

copyright, 1895, by the New York SUM-
LONDON. Eng, July Is. - Everybody
expected substantial Unionist gains in the
general election which began to-day, but
nobody anticipated such overwhelming
disaster to the Liberal party as is indi-
Gated by the result OF the first days poll
ing. The result of the voting to-day in
twenty-one contested districts, represented
by twenty-four members of Parliament, is
net gain of seven seats by the Salisbury
coalition Government.
More interesting and more important
than mere figures is the fact that Sir Yer
non Harcourt, the Liberal leader in the
House, whom most members of his party
wished to succeed Lord Rosebery, as leader
OF the whole party, has been badly beaten
in what has been regarded as the perfectly
safe Liberal constituency OF Derby. The
veteran political gladiator must for the
second time in his life submit to the hui
initiation of seeking another constituency
to send him to the House of Commons, or
he must retire from political life.
Harcourt formerly represented Oxford
University in Parliament. but was de:
feated several years ago. He then offered
Liberal for the past ten years. He re-
ceived 1907 votes in the last general cleo
ton, against 5546 for the Conservative
candidate. To-day's vote is 6785 for Har-
court to 1907 for the Conservative. 1t is
doubtful, after such a rebuff, if he offers
himself in another constituency.
The Unionists made heavy gains in every
district where polling took place. The
Liberals made an apparent gain of the
seat at Perth, but it was only apparent.
The district has been represented by a
Conservative because a Liberal split at the
last election enabled the Tory candidate to
slip in. The Conservative vote to-day was
larger and the Liberal vote smaller than in
the same district in 1892.
The total days polling was highly sig
niicant. The districts voting were all city
constituencies, but did not involve Lon
don.
The total in nineteen districts was:
Unionist 93,187, Liberals 87034; Unionist
majority 6l52. In the same districts in
the last general election the Unionists
polled 50, ,339 votes and the Liberals 81 ,528,
a Liberal majority of 8189. To-day's fig
ures, therefore, show net Unionist gain

is now scarcely room to doubt that Lord

TRAVERSE CITY MICH, July 13.-The
Traverse Bay sea serpent has been again

manner.
Thursday evening William Johnson and
Andrew Umler 'rowed up the bay shore,
three miles from town, to lift Johnson's s
nets. Finding their boat leaking, they
proceeded to soak it up, and while waiting
lay down on the beach.
Their attention was presently attracted
by large, dark object short distance out,
coming rapidly toward shore and appar-
emily making straight for the nets. Thev

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 13.-The
British steamship Electrician of the Harri.
son line reached here to-day from Liver
pool with fire raging in her bunker. The
fire broke out on July I, when the Electri-
clan was in midocean, and for time it was
as much as the captain could do to keep
the men cool.
1t was discovered that hundreds of tons
OF coal were on fire in the bunker. The
men were put at once to work at the
pumps, but the fire ragged furiously for SIX
days, and it was several times thought that
the crew would have to abandon the vessel.
They succeeded, however, in holding the
fire under control, and the vessel arrived
here to-day with her bunker still burning.
The Electrician will have to undergo re-
pairs before she can leave port.

At LEISURE.
Mrs. Davidson Deserted by the
Man With Whom She
Eloped.
Appeals to Oklahoma Authorities
for Protection Against Dr..
Edgar.

LEXINGTON, KY, July 13.-A dispatch
from Guthrie, O. T., has caused a big SEN
sation in high social circles here. 1t states
that handsome young woman with two
children, who has been living there for two
months, has applied to the authorities to
protect her from her husband, who is de-
scribed as a Kentuckian in the revenue
circles.
The story went on to say that the woman
was accompanied by Kentucky doctor.
Every circumstance points to Mrs. Anna
Davidson, wife of Frank Davidson, a
brother of ex-Mayor Davidson and men,
Der OF the revenue service in this district,
as the woman in question. The doctor in
the casesis probably J. F. Edgar, promi-
nent homeopathist of .his city.
Mrs. Davidson was Miss Anna Craig,
daughter of Colonel Horace Craig, formerly
of this city but now of Walnut, Kans. She
eloped with young Davidson ten years ago
and they went to Aberdeen, Ohio, and
were married. At one time her father was
one of the wealthiest men in Lexington,
but he failed and removed to Kansas
shortly after his daughters marriage to
Davidson. The Craigs belonged to the
highest social circles and they have many
relatives here among the upper classes.
DIR. Edgar came 70 this city nearly twenty
years ago from New Brighton, Pa, where
his widowed mother and his sister now re-
side. He married Miss Lucy, daughter
of DR.. Lucy, with whom Edgar was in
partnership here for several years.
The doctor left here in April, saying he
was going to Fort Worth, Tex. There
had been considerable gossip about DIR.
Edgar and Mrs. Davidson several months
before he left here. Young Davidson was
absent for weeks at a time attending to his
duties in the revenue service, and it seems
that the doctor was very attentive to the
wife.
Mrs. Edgar has six little children to take
care of, and he left her almost penniless.
He owns a splendid piece of property in
the city, but it is mortgaged heavily. He
shipped his valuable library away last
spring. Mrs. Davidson is 26 years old and
the doctor 45. He was an advocate of free
love. 1t is his intention to have Mrs.
Davidson ramain in Oklahoma three
months and get divorce. III the mean
time Mrs. Edgar will get divorce here,
thus enabling the doctor to marry Mrs.
Davidson

LONDON, Eng, July 13.-The repre-

Affairs. on the 18th inst, requested Nishi
