ISOLATION of business men Of the state
under the Lloyds system, for the pur-
pose OF mutual protection from fire
losses and the acceptance OF risks
for others, is canvassing the city in the
interests of the association. The exorb-
liant rates charged by the insurance
combine or so-called old line companies
make it necessary at this time that the
business men associate themselves for
protection from excessive insurance
rates, and mutual indemnity from fire
losses. The plan is q good one and
every business man will be interested, as
a saving Of from Is to so per cent. on
their present rate of insurance is as

The Rev. w. J. Cleveland, rector Of
Grace church, this city, received a tele-
gram from the east within the past few
days rendering him a position under the
general government at the very tempt
ing salary Of $500 per annum; but on
account Of the work being largely Of q
secular nature, Rev. Cleveland declined
the offer by wire within an hour after
receiving it. Such positions do not or.
dinarlly come to a man unsolicited in
these days Of strife for public place and
magnificent salaries, and in this case, to
decline the unsolicited position, shows
how thoroughly Rev. Cleveland is we'd
ded to his ministerial work. The friends
Of the reverend gentleman in this com.
munity will certainly feel flattered upon
learning OF this recognition of his worth
and standing in high places; and what
we regard as still better, even at the ex.
pense of seltishness on our part, is that
he will continue a citizen and clergyman
OF Madison, Notwithstanding Uncle
Sans tempting offer to take him else
where.
The funeral Of the late N. B. Smith at
his late residence this afternoon was
largely attended, the Masonic fraternity
turning out in orderly array neatly GO
strong. Beautiful memorial flowers
graced the parlor where the services
were held and the NJ. E. choir sang the
hymns. The scripture lesson was read
by Rev. j. P. Jenkins, pastor OF the de-
ceased, and Rev. q. E. Hsger of Yer
million, a former pastor, offered the
prayer. The sermon OF Rev. Jenkins
was based on 2 Kings HILL, in which a
parallel was drawn in soma respects be.
tween the character and translation of
Elijah and the experience and
death Of deceased. Rev. Hager then
spoke feelingly Of bis own relations to
deceased while pastor here and paid q
high testimonial 10 his Christian charao-
ter. At the close OF the services the
Masonic fraternity took charge Of the
remains, conducting them to the ceme-
terry and consigning them to the grave
with Masonic honors. The pail bearers
were VIM. Whitmore, J. NJ. Duff, D. D.
Holdridge, j. d. Blair, r. C. McCallister
Of this city. and J. G: Lee Of Howard.
