1t Is ut this season of the year that peoples
thoughts turn to some method by which the
rigors of our northern winter climate may be
escaped, and u trip to the Land of Flowers, -
if only for short time, offers the easiest solu-
ton of the question.
In order to give the public an opportunity
to visit Florida at Il very reasonable cost the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has arranged
for series of tours to Jacksonville, and the
well,earAed reputation Acquired by that COM
pany for tho superiority of its personallycon-
Quoted tours will be maintained for this years
series. Since the system of personally con-
Quoted tours inaugurated by that company
has been in effect, none but words of commen-
dation have been received. Its unexceIled
train service, experienced Tourist Agents and
charges, leave nothing to be desired.
The tours to jacksonville, allowing two
weekss stay in Florida, will leave New York
and philadelphia ON JANUARY "a, February II
and 90. and March IL and 20, 1898. The rate.
including transportation, meals en- route, and
Pullman berth on special train, is $4,000 from
New York, and S4S.OO from Philadelphia:
proportionate rates from other points

a Years Record of the Northwestern Ma
sonic Aid Association,

In all the essentials to soundness and real
prosperity the twenty-hrst annual report of
the SSaWs s Ms9 4 Aa hss OF
year of substantial gain and progress. The
usual examination of the affairs of the Associ-
alton by the Honorable Bradford K. Durfee,
superintendent of Insurance of Illinois, and
his assistants, attests the correctness of its
methods as well as the figures of tho years
business submitted by the officers at the an
nua meeting of the ASSOCIATION. During the
year IL SAT new policies were written, insur-
ing over S22,00O,0O0. This is u larger num-
Der of policies than the Association has writ
ten before in one year, showing net increase
of policies in force numbering more than two
thousand, three hundred. The increase in
membership is especially favorable to the AS
ISOLATION in that it carries with it new young
blood for more than four million dollars of in
surance, displacing that of older members
who have retired or reduced their amount of
risks to that extent. The death benefits for
the year amounted to 1884, 6A7.l4, making.
in round numbers, grand total paid for death
losses since organization of $15. 000,000. Dur
ing the past two years nearly S445,O0O in
death losses were paid from the general" or
expense funds, which added to the amount of
general and expense funds now on hand, or
death losses from the same source, makes the
large total of over 81 200 900 saved to the pol
icy-holders of the Northwestern Masonic Aid
Association from funds all intended to be
available TOP expenses but which through
good management has not been go used. The
net surplus or hand over actual liabilities also
shows a handsome increase and now amounts
to nearly S725, 900.
Altogether, especially when taking into con-
sideration the reduction in volume of all
classes of conservatively managed business,
the year has been markedly successful one
with this sturdy old Association. Ripe with
experience, as full of energy and as aggres-
sive us ever, the General Manage of the Asso-
clalon, lames a. sfoahafa, MAY Justly pride
himself Upon tip permanency of the results
for which he has so determipedly lahored dur
ing the more than twenty years of the North
Westerns existence. Solid and strong, of
proved reliability, tho Association is now pre-
pared TO issue It's new advance payment poll
fifteen twenJy-year terms. Intending in
surerS aud agents should not fail to investi-
gaze this most excellent of life insurance asso-
Citations. Its attractive displayed advertise
ment in another column is well worth reading.

To-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
The Episcopalians.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct. 1S.-In the
Episcopal house of deputies this morn
ing report from the committee on
conservation of the bishops approving
the nomination of Rev. Peter r. Rowe,
of Sault Ste Marie, Mich, as missionary
bishop of Alaska, was received. 1t was
decided to consider the nomination in
executive session this afternoon.
A motion for the appointment of q
committee of six to confer with the
Washington committee and arrange
that the triennial of 1898 be held in a
place other than church, vas laid on
the table.
Technical amendments to the canon
relating to the composition of the mis-
sionary council of the church were re-
ported by DR.. Davenport, of Tennessee,
and after being discussed at length,
were laid aside for further alteration.
Something of a sensation was created
when Dean Hoffman, from the com.
miitee on conservation of bishops, pre-
sented supplementary report sending
back to the bishops their nomination OF
Rev. ]. M. Francis as bishop of the
new missionary jurisdiction of Kyota,
Japan, on the grounds that the
house had not been consulted con-
corning the creation of the proposed
juris dic;iop, aud had 70 informa-
ton that such Jurisdiction had been
economically ,re.t.d. The message Of
the bishops, by unanimous vote, was
returned to them instanter.
After this matter had been disposed
of the house went into executive SEES
sion.

COMMUNICATED.

In reply to Mr.. Entwisle's card in
Wednesdays GAZETTE I wish to state
that he has made one or two errors.
Ia the first place he states that the
time the Columbia made at Hagers-
town was z minutes and ~ seconds,
when the time actually consumed was
minutes and SO 2-5 seconds, which l
can prove by q Maryland paper. In
the second place ne states the time at
Grange Camp was 6 minutes and S Sec
onds for $50 feet, when it was min
utes and seconds for 40 feet, for af-
Ter the Columbia was through the tape
line was found to be 20 feet short, and
of course the Hydraulion refused to
enter any such contest. AS far SIS the
time at Grange Camp is concerned l
can get the Columbia's OWE members
to certify that it wss 7:05 instead OF
Cos. The members of the Hydraulion
do not question the promptness OF the
Columbia in attending fires; but why
shouldn't they be prompt? They have
a first class engine house with all the
modern conveniencies, while if any one
will come and see how the No. 3 men
have to twist and turn TO get the
horses in their places, they will go
away vo ldering how they ever get
out But we do question the superb
ority of the Columbia engine over the
Hydraulion engine. The latter has
record of7.12 for $50 feet, which has
never been equaled by the Columbia.
In conclusion wish to say that if the
fire wardens will allow us we are per-
fectly willing at any time to compete
against the champion and are willing to
wager that we can beat her at any time
or place. ACTIVE FIREMAN.
