INSURANCE IATIssIONERLAMBERrst strikes
out from the shoulder in his annual report
ON fire insurance. He shows up the weak
ness of the mutual companies doing business
in this state, in a way that must result in
some wholesome legislation by the next
Legislature 1t is surprising as one reads
the criticisms of the Commissioner, how it is
possible for the people to be gulled so easily
In no other way will they pay out their
money with so little investigation. They
appear to be satisfied to take the word Of an
insurance agent without any qualification
whatever, and as a consequence thousands oi
dollars are being lost every year. In the
Judgment of the Commissioner mutual com
panies ought to be restricted as to territory
and other safeguards should be thrown
around the insured.

EVERY Republican in Schuylkill county
has high appreciation of Reed, Mckinley
and Allison, and they all deserve well of the
party. But Pennsylvania has candidate
for the presidential nomination, and no where
in the state is there stronger Quay senti-
ment than in Schuylkill county. The Re
publican convention to be held in Pottsyillo
on Saturday will undoubtedly elect two dele
gates to st. Louis favorable TO the nomination
of Senator Quay, and resolutions will he
adopted endorsing his candidacy. To do
otherwise would be a Misrepresentation of
the Republican party Of Schuylkill county,
the howlings of a county seat paper to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

Ring, practicing physician and druggist,
and one of the leading citizens of Elkin,
Surrey county, and several members of his
family have been critically ill for several
days. Their illness was caused by an at
tempt of the doctors son, l6 years old, to
poison his father by putting arsenic in a
prescription which the young man-aclerk
in the drug store-was given to fill. The
sons excuse for his action was that h6

thought he deserved. To prevent his ar

Killed in a German Duel.

BERLIN, March 30.-Three duels have
been fought in Berlin within few days
past. One of these presented many features
that made the case very painful one. A
barrister named DIR. Zenker challenged
Lieutenant Won Kettelhodt of the imperial
yacht Hohenzollern, whom he accused OF
adultry with his (Zenker's) wife. At the
fourth exchange of shots DR.. Zenker was
shot in the lungs and killed. Another case
was that of an officer of the guards who
severely wounded civilian. This pre-
valence of the dueling habit causes serious
comment in Germany.

Ballington Booths New Movement Starts
out Auspiclously in Chicago.

Ballington Booths New Movement Starts
out Ausplclously in Chicago.
CHICAGO, March 30. O.-Ballington Booths
followers in Chicago fired the first volley
for the new American Volunteers yester-
day afternoon at a hall on the west side
in close proximity to Salvation Army
headquarters. Majors Blackhurst and
Trumble, who arrived from New York to
organize the Chicago contingent were
greeted with cheers mingled with count
less "amens" and "hallelujahs" when
they explained the causes of the revolt.
They announced their determination tc
remain loyal to the standard of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ballington Booth, and to forever re-
nounce all allegiance to the redbreasted
soldiery with which they have been identi-
fed for years.
Many former prominent members of the
Salvation Army grasped them by the hand
and co-operated in the organization of the
Volunteers. One hundred others enlisted
at the meeting in the afternoon, and the
number was increased in the evening. AS
the Volunteer officials approached the hall
they We're accorded one continuous oya-
tion by a large crowd of people who lined
the sidewalks for several blocks. Notwith-
standing the public demonstration in
nOnOf OF GnS ' OlunIeets, IL nuluDer VI F7hl-
vationists who are fighting under General
| Booths banner stood on the curbstone and
refused to be led into secession.
Major Blackhurst was the principal
! speaker of the day. As the official mouth
1 piece of Ballington Booth his remarks
created interest. The speaker said that
Ballington Booth had been misrepresented
and that the fundamental cause of the
whole trouble was the fact that Balling
ton Booth was in too close touch with
American ideas, which conflicted with
those in London. He said that Ballingtor
Booth was summarily dismissed by Com
mandant Herbert Booth, Of Canada, who
represented the English general. The
major confirmed the rumor that General
Booth once ordered down the American
flag in u certain office Of the Salvation
Army over which Ballington Booth hat
jurisdiction, and to this incident Majol
Blackhurst attributes the widening of thC
chasm which separated father and son.

Tie WEEK IN CONGRESS
Both Houses WIN Pay Attention to Ap-
nrnnrintlnn BiIls.

WASHINGTON, March 3J--Tho present
arrangement In the senate is TO take mp
the bill providing for settlement OF the
accounts between the state of Arkansas
and the United Stltes at the conclusion
of the morning hour today, and to give the
day to the bill if necessary to dispose of 1t.
Ii is doubtful however, whether further
time win be given the bill if it is not out
of the way When the adjournment hour is
reached tonight II is expected chat the
postolice appropriation bill will be re-
ported from the appropriations committee
today, and if it should be the disposition
will be to take it up in the senate tomor-
row and pass it as soon as possible. SEN
ater Mitchell says that he will ask the
senate to proceed with the consideration
on the Dupont election case after today,
providing appropriation bills do not stand
in the way. There probably will be mo
prolonged debate over the postollice BILL
unless upon the fast mail subsidies, and
it will, in all likelihood, be disposed of in
two or three days time.
Tho sundry civil appropriation bill prob
ably will consume the major portion OF
the time Of the house this week, and by
many it is considered doubtful whether
it will have been disposed of whom the
house adjourns next Saturday. The bill
will prccipitate the general opposition of
the Democratic side because of the fact, al
ready pointed out that for all continuing
work now under contract (river and har-
Dor and public building work. the bill
carries appropriations for only eight
months This is an entirely new departure
and will bring up a discussion of appro-
priations all along the line. In addition
to this the bill carries $4,000, 900, over S11,
600, 900 less than the estimates.
1t is the intention of Chairman Hit, of
the foreign affairs committee, to call up
the conference report on the Cuban resolu-
tions rs soon as the sundry civil bill is out
of the way. 1t is not thought that the
adoption of the report will encounter much
antagonism.
