HARRY CLAXTOR SCORES AN
EXCELLENT AVERAGE.

The race for the monthly high aver
age badge last month on the Foley
alleys was very close and exciting all
the way through, and at no time until
the end could the winner be even
guessed at. First one man and then
another would be on top, and until
Adams, of the Lafayettes, had thrown
his last ball On Thursday night the re-
suit was in doubt. At the wind up,
Harry Clayton, of the st. Paul club,
was the winner.with the excellent aver

ond place. with an average of 2l219, but
as Tubbesing has already won one hat,
the one that MIR. Foley presents each
month to the man with second highest
average goes to Hastings. The other
men whoaveraged over 200 were: Ger

Is good for at least dozen men to be in
the race, as all the good bOWlers are on
their metal and it would not lie at all
surprising should the high score of 26S
pins. now held by Tubbesing, be cast
in the shade.

Four games were played last week in
the tournament series. The champion
SUBMITS defeated the Wabashas and
ST. Pauls, and both the Broadways and
Wabashas put spoke in the Lafayettes'
wheel. The SUBMITS now have almost
a cinch OIL first place, as they will have
to lose nearly all the balance of their
games to lose their grasp on the top
round. Much to every ones surprise,
the Broadways have firm grasp on
second place. and. though it is hardly
probable that they will stay there.
they are bowling steady, even game
that makes the other clubs bowl their
best to beat. The Gophers are third by
a small margin, with the st. Pauls and
Wabashas tied for the fourth position,
the Lafayettes bringing up the rear. At
the opening of the season it was conf
IDENTIFY predicted that the st. Pauls
would be at the top of the heap at the

one of their strongest bowlers has placed
them hopelessly in the rear. The stand

being that each team will play one

the Broadways, SUBMITS and ST. Pauls

1t is by no means true that all newsboys
have family responsibilities, nor that they
all develop into worthy men. The un-

the thing to consider. We do not find

dissipation or disease is discoverable in

ANNA J. SMITH BURIED,
Many Friends Honor the Memory
of a True Philan.
thropist.
Her Life Was Devoted to Doing Good in
Quiet and Unostentatious
Manner.

The funeral of Mrs. Anna J. Smith took
place yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from
st. Pauls Episcopal Church on California
street, near Steiner Mrs. Smith had a
wide circle of acquaintance, and large
number of these were in attendance at the
services. The usual burial ritual of the
Episcopal Church was read by Rev. w. M.
Reilly, rector OF st. Paul's. Music was fur
nished by the vested choir.
There were large number of beautiful
floral pieces, one of the most striking being
large cross rendered by the Ladies' Aid
Society, of which Mrs. Smith was promi-
nent member. The pallbearers were: James
H. Wallace, f. Rulofson, Colonel Wheat,
E. M. Levy, p. Tucker, John l. Sabin and
Henry Euler.
Mrs. Smith has been a resident of this
City for nearly thirty years. She was born
IN New York and was 20 years of age at
the time OF her decease. She remained in
New York until about 1865, when her hus-
band, prominent physician of New York
City, dying, she determined to come W est
and join her sister. The latter, the
widow of Captain Yount, who at one time
owned the present site of YountviIle and
diteI WuOIu Tue tOWH JS udE1eu, ana MIS-.
Smith purchased residence at 2l25 Bush
street. Here they lived very quiet life,
devoting their entire energies to churcL.
work and charities. They formed large
circle of acquaintances, who revered and
esteemed them for their noble qualities
About six years ago Mrs. Yount died. This
left Mrs. Smith practically alone in the
world, her only relatives being two nleces
and a brother-in-law all residing in Phila-
delphia.
The last years of Mrs. Smiths life have
been devoted largely to the interests of St.
Paul's Church, of which she was member.
Toward its support she has given very
generously of her ample means, and the
little congregation had come to look upon
her as one of it's most faithful supporters.
Throughout her entire life Mrs. Smith S
acts of munifcence were accomplished in
as quiet and unostentatious manner es
possible, and few outside her most intimate
acquaintance had more than faint con-
ception of the extent of her charities. Her
loss is felt as severe blow not only to the
congregation of which she was a shining
light, but to the entire community in
which she resided.
The only relative present at the funeral
was w. II. Conrad, the husband of one of
her nieces, who resides in Philadelphia
The others were unable TO be present.

the manhole. Let us suppose two incoming
snd two outgoing sewers, and that one of the
latter becomes choked. In that case the other
will take the sewage and prevent an overflow.
Again, suppose the manhole to receive three
incoming sewers and one discharging there
from. BY placing the inverts of all incoming
sewers in the same horizontal plane as the top
of the outgoing sewer, or higher, If possible, or
the two entering on the sides of the manhole
above said plane, they all discharge into the
manhole and toward its outlet without retard-
ing the flow from any one sewer.
1t has become customary to connect pipe
sewers in crossings on curves. Under certain
conditions this is desirable. They give much
trouble however, and are often choked. If
th0y cannot be flushed they must be uncov-
cred to clean them. If the sewers are built in
straight lines from manhole to manhole the
difficulty is at once seen and removed. We do
away with three unnecessary manholes in
crossings at SUBMITS and two in other cross
ings, and save the excessive expense for curved
pipes, avoid the friction and the necessity of
uncoyering the pipes when choked. The same
objections do not hold good in regard to large
sewers. which will permit the removing of
distractions in the curve without disturbing

full investigation it became apparent that
many OF the cases contested were fraudu-
lent and constituted no real liability. Any
company long in existence is bound to &C.
cumulate considerable amount of such
cases. Some of these are outlawed, others
merely nominal and practically aban-
doned or the parties willing to compromise,
and some had been settled since December
81 Tor much less than their face. 1t would
be unfair to compel a company to carry
such cases forever as liability at their
face or submit to extortion to get rid of
them.
1t was not discovered that the company
had unduly or without sufficient cause
contested any case-in fact, the amount in
litigation upon death claims. compared
with the amount paid, is surprisingly
small and the company singularly sue
cessful in defending such suits.
1t was found necessary, however to add
$187, 1852 81 to the claims outstanding in
process of adjustment for deaths occurring
in 1894 on which proofs were not made
until some time in 1895. Many of these
cases were unknown to the company on
December 81, as proof blanks are furnished
by, the agents, and not from the home
Office, but it is necessary to take
them into consideration in order to ascer-
tain the true condition of the company
at that date, as the parties insured were
actually dead, and only formality inter.
vened before payment became due.
The surplus of the company is divided
into Tontine and general surplus in the
usual way employed by departments in
their annual reports. The practice of the
company in giving notice every wear to its
Tontine policy holders, of their annual
cumulations, is highly to be commended.
The income and disbursements as rem
dered for 1894 in its sworn statement were
found to be substantially correct.

tate acquired by foreclosure as rapidly as
terest earnings of the year in which it is
sold. An analysis of the business for
twenty years shows that only small per-
centage of loans made are foreclosed and
acquired as real estate. The mortgage
loans, comprising nearly so per cent of
total assets, have been carefully placed
and yield gross rate of 5 Clio per cent in
terest, payable semi-annually. About one
fourth of the mortgages represent farm
loans. The loans are distributed in Ili-
nois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado.

whole is in Illinois and Wisconsin. The

Times.
When Frederick A. Baldwin of this City
returns from Brooklyn, N. Y, where he
went some time since to attend the bed
side OF his father, Major Frederick A.
Baldwin, one of the officials in charge of
the Brooklyn bridge. an official in the As
SCISSORS Office of that city, he will bring
with him a relic Of early days in Callfor-
mia which will be of interest to Celifor-
mans who came to this City in early days.
In 1S49 Captain James III. Baldwin, a
brother of the major, came TO the Golden
State, and, with others who accompanied
him, went direct to the mines. He was
fortunate in his search for the treasures of
the earth and in 1850 decided to return to
the East. He had preserved the first mug
net picked up on his claim, and. before
leaving San Francisco for his Eastern
home, had it fashioned by one of the pio-
neer jewelry houses of this City into a
mag agnificent Maltese cross.
This he presented to his brother Fred
erick when he reached the East. the latter
treasuring it to the day of his death.
Frederick Baldwin Jr. found his father
dying when he reached his side, and min
istered to him to the last.
In his will the deceased left the cross to
his son, who intends keeping it as SOU
venir of the days of old and the days of
gold, and also as the most valued remem-
brance of his father. Major Baldwin was
for many years the senior membe of the
firm of T. Brooks Il Co. of Brooklyn, and
for gallantry in action while serving in the
famous Fighting Fourteenth, during the
war, was given the rank of major. His
son is a partner of George t. Gaden, the
Mayor expert.
