New York Press: The hundreds Of
thousands OF careful fathers and hus-
bands In the United States who have
taken out Insurance policies for the ben
eft of their families have paid .heir
premiums In money based on the gold
standard. Every dollar that they have
paid on their policies has been worth Il
dollar the world over. Millions Of these
dollars have been saved and Invested In
insurance for loved Ones at the cOSt OF
comforts and even necessities. Uus-
bands deprived themselves that, after
their death, there might be bread and
meat for wives and children.
In this country had free coinage of
silver every pollty In the land would be
worth only half lts face value. Widows
ana orphans In future years would be
robbed OF half the Insurance money that
had cost the care and the sacrifice of
prudent men through all their lives.

away an equal share from every Insur-
nnCe policy In the United States to
pour millions Into the laps Of men who

As TO Mr.. Menncrr,

To the Editor OF the I%ntcllIEcnccr.
SIR:-I notice that the Wheeling Reg

TODD over the fact that James B. Mena-

therefore will not vote for Mckinley and
sound money. The Register halls with
much Joy>this Accession" to the Pnpo-
cratic ranks. and seems to think II Is
significant OF something.
The fact Of the matter Is that Mr..
Menagcr voted the Democratic tickle, In
1891 and has not been regarded here az a
Republican since that time. II the Reg
lister really desires TO print some news
about changes of politics In this section

New YORK. Dec. 26.-Judge Pry-
or in the Supreme Court to day de-
MED the application of the Agudath
Hakekiloth, a Hebrew organization
of New York, for a certificate of in
corporation. In refusing the certif-
cate Justice Pryor says: "In the
certificate submitted to me observe
that the annual meeting of the pro
posed corporation is appointed to be
held on each and every second Sun
day Of January of each and every
year. 1t is not religious corpora
tios, and it's annual meetings are for
the performance of precisely such
secular business as is transacted by
other civil corporations The ques-
ton is not whether such meetings
are Illegal, but whether they should
be approved The act intended is
an aggression upon the Christian
Sabbath. apd the law which scrupu
lousy protects them in their obser-
yances of their creed gives them no
license to afront the religious sus-
capabilities of Others" :"

Oncers ADD Members Of Camps oi
United Confederate Veterans:
Comrades-We have the bococ to
transnis to you The enclosed address,
issued by the executive committee:
The board of trustees is determined
to carry to successful 6aish toe iauda
Bile purpose committed to its charge.
The board has undertaken the rals-
ing Of funds to duplicate and add to
:he muni6cent donation of Comrade
Charles B. Rouss. of New York city,
and naturally applies 60 the organized
camps of Uoited Confederate Veterans
for prompt pecuniary assistance, that
the endowment foud of the association
may be as great as possible. and be re,
ported to the next meeting of the
United Confederate Veterans at their
auuual reunion in th:s city 10 May
next.
The board of trustees are early at
work and are eodeavoring to push for
yard the raising Of money, With the
determination Of securing the neces-
sary fund to enable the erection of a
suitable memorial building within
which to preserve. the archive records
of southern valor aod endurance, to-
eether with the literature of the four
years of unqualified bardships 10 the
field and at home.
Now is the tine to act. Farther
delay may defeat the purpose of the
board, as time will scatter aud destroy
macy relies that the association desires
to preserve. When it is remembered
that every dollar now raised will be
covered With another, through the
great liberali.y Of Comrade Rouss, It's
the conmonest kind of plain business
sense to meet him With the largest
possible local cash donation, that this
lfberalisy may be made available and a
mem orial edi6cs erected to the heroism
of the southern people
II ia suggested, aud respectfully
urged upon all division, brigade and
camp commanders to provide for a
money collection BY every camp iu the
Uoited Confederate Veterans organiza-
sion Oh the 10Th day of January. toe
birthday of Gea. Robert E. Lee, for
the benefit of the association.
OF course, it is not intended that eff
forts should be delayed until then, o. to
cease after that time. but the object of
this suggestion is to make that day a
memorable ore in the work which
should enlist The deep interest OF every

MOiasscS as o Fertilizer.

The Louisiana sugar planters have
not yet been able to solve the riddle OF
the bestowal of their surplus molasses.
1t is now proposed to use it as n fer
tillZer. 1t is found that molasses can
be charred by waste heat in sugar
manufacture, and much reduced in
weight, and free from liability to
offensive or troublesome fermentation,
be easily added to the soil as are com
mercial fertilizers.
When in this state it is devoid of

Fahrenheit is sufficient to destroy the

molasses that it is fit to return to The
soil. 1t is suggested that the sugar.
manufacturers can easily place large
pipe in the waste heat of their furnaces,
for the charming Of the molasses, filter

The mass would be removed by q
chain scraper passing slowly through
the pipe, and charred and. dry and p~l.
