In Spite Of His Good Reputation He Il q
-. Thief and Fugitive.
Boston, May 22.-Albert NJ. King, the
19-year-old embezzling messenger of the
Boylston National bank, is believed to
be making for Canada. He has been
traced to Lowell and thence to Concord,
and is thought to have gone from there
to Montreal on Wednesday nights ex-
press. He has shown remarkable
shrewdness in escaping detection by
travelling on accommodation trains from
place to place, and in this way has
several times eluded the detectives who
are tracking him.
1t develops that In all he secured $50,
600. having cashed the $4,000 certificate.
The check for $4,000 he has is Of no
value to him. He has SIT. 900 in 81 ,600
bills. $4,000 in bills of the denomina-
lions Of $50, 500 and $500 and 81, 900 In
$40 bills. His methods show careful
study of the manner Murderer Joseph
Kelley evaded the detectives in getting
over the border, and he is likely to give
the authorities good run for their mon
ey ere he is CAPTURED.

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY,s POLICY.

Spain in Helping Cuba.
Washington, May 22.-The cabinet
meeting yesterday was not Of long dur
alton, but it was interesting because the
principal subject of discussion was that
ton Of the senate in passing Morgan's
Joint resolution declaring a state of war
in Cuba was regarded as a movement
that threatened if carried out to the end
to Interfere seriously with efforts Of the
executive branch Of the government to
accomplish something substantial for
the Cubans. The details Of the plan
which President Mckinley has in mind
have not yet been disclosed; in fact 1t
may be said that they are subject to ar
rangemeHts upon the basis Of the latest
official information that is received from
Cuba, probably from Calhoun. But it
was clearly manifested in the cabinet
meeting that the president has come to
The determination to use his powers to
stop the bloodshed in the island so far as
this can be done without involving the
United States in war.
No officialinformation could be obtained
as to what action the house may take
on the senate Cuban resolution, but II
was understood that Speaker Reed
would have a conference with the presi-
dent on the subject at an early day, and
no action would be taken until after that
conference. The inference was that the
action Of the house managers would be
guided to large extent by the results
OF the conference. 1t is probable that
some attempt will be made on the part
of the Democrats to have the resolution
considered as soon as 1t reaches the
house, but this cannot be done except
BY unanimous consent, which will not
be given, or by a special order from the
committee on rules. This special order
will not be brought in until the Repub-
lican leaders are ready for action.

Washington. May 22.-The Republic
.an senators will hold a caucus Monday
to consider the taI:f hill. The first
effort will be to devise plans to ex-
pedite the consideration Of the bill, and
there will also be an attempt to recon-
cile differences Of opinion as to the
merits Of some features. Some of the
schedules are Objectionable to many Of
the senators, and it is thought advisable
to settle such differences in caucus
rather than in the senate The prin-
cipal object Of the caucus, however. is
to agree upon a plan for the limitation
Of the time for debate, and under the
present reules this can only be done by
mutual consent. What the tariff lead
ers will first attempt Is to secure an
agreement among Republican senators
to restrain any desire they may have
for general speeches, and thus throw
the responsibility for delay upon the op-
position.
Unnecessary" Is a Good Word.
So far as agreed upon the programme
Is to have Aldrich make his statement
on Monday or Tuesday Of next week

speeches on the Republican side Of the

that the debate may not be so greatly
prolonged as at first seemed probable

The Beneflciaries OF the Order.

1t is quite a common mistake of
Workmen to assume that the wild
ows and orphans of deceased Breth-
rem are the only benefciaries of the
take wholly ignore the social and
fraternal advantages which accrue
to the member by reason of his
membership. A properly-conducted
Workmen's Lodge is source of en-
joyment to every attending member.
1t adds to his personal happiness; it
cultivates the elements of manhood
in his character; inspires him with
hope and strengthens his courage.
In addition, he has the benefit of the
happiness arising from all the vari-
Gus social events which grow out of
the Lodge. This, however, is not its
chief benefit to him, great as it is.
Out of the kindly social relate in
the Lodge grows feeling of fra
ternity of one to another which, in
cures the aid and cooperation of the
entire Brotherhood. In many cases
which have come under our personal
observation this has been of more
value to the member and his family
than the death benefit could possibly
be. 1t has assisted him in securing
employment and in finding the
means of business success and ad-
vancement which, in strictly finan-
cial sense, has been far more bene-
icial than the death benefit; and this
has come to him, too, in connection
with his family, while he was yet a
member of it and participant in its
happiness and prosperity. The many
millions which have been paid the
widows and orphans is sufficient tes-
timony of the value of the benefits
they receive at the death Of the hus-
band and father, but the benefits
which they receive in connection
with the husband and father while
he was yet with them, though less
measurable, are nevertheless, great
er than the death benefits. He, the
member, is therefore himself, in a
larger and broader sense, the great.

is easy to understand that if the
societies had to depend for their bus
mess upon the work of agents the
insurance would cost more than it
does. Does this not show the advan-
tage of protecting your families
through a fraternal organization
The fraternal beneficiary system has
made it possible to arm the people by
the millions with shield Of protec-
ton by which they are assisted and
benefited, and their dependents cared
for when they are gone, and all this
at a nominal cost. Kvery member
has an equal vote and voice in max
ing the laws for his government and
is equally interested in the welfare
of his Brotherhood. The other sys-
TENS do not and cannot furnish any
such organization or benefits. They
are purely cooperative and specula-
tive.
The fraternal Orders are purely
protective and splendidly democratic
in their management, control and
character.
The friendships one forms within
these Orders are lasting and in this
respect they differ from the cold, cal
culating methods Of the ''old line"
companies.
If member of fraternal society
is sick his Brother members are
obliged and deem it pleasure to
visit him and minister to his wants.
Did anybody ever hear of an "old
line" company doing that?
The death benefits of fraternai
society are paid Immediately, the
only question being: "Was he in
good standing when he died" Too
often an "old line" company pushes
the beneficiary into litigation before
the death claim is finally paid.
"Old line" insurance companies
have tottered and fallen, assessment
companies have melted away, but
the fraternal beneficiary system re.
mains the same, Interchangeable, and
the great and splendid societies have
continued in their onward march
along the hard road of life. They
have given hope to the hearts of men
broadened Brotherhood, tempered
sorrow, filled the empty cupboard
cared for the fatherless, and caused
the light of love and protection tc
shine into the doorway of the win
dow. They are part of the history
of our present progress as a race
and will continue to be a benefit to
| mankind

Our Opportunity. .

That conditions more or less ad-
verse to progress have maintained,
for the past few years, in our Juris-
diction and that it has had a depress-
ing effect upon our membership is a
fact recognized by all. 1t is, there
fore, with feelings of more than or
dinary congratulation that we find
ourselves upon the eve of new
order of things that promises re-
turn to that old enthusiasm and
jealous effort that in times past were
SO characteristic of this Jurisdiction.
Our new plan commends itself to
all thinking people, not only TO those
inside the Order but to those outside
as we'll, as being just, equitable and
enduring. 1t is based upon no un-
certain foundation, and in its opera
tions distributes it's burdens in meas
ure alike to all, according to the
benefits to be derived.
BY this time nearly every member
Of the Order in this Jurisdiction
should be acquainted with the work
ings of the new Classified Assess
ment Plan, and able to explain it to
those whom he is desirable of help
ing into the Order.

an added cost to members over 50
years Of age, yet when it is under

lear future be likely to be reduced,

security and Chance.

The instinct TO lay by stores for
ga rainy day" is the instinct of self
preservation and of civilization. It
has led to the development of life
insurance companies and banks and
savings institutions of all sorts.
1t leads the well-to- do to forego high
rates of interest in order that the
income from their wealth may be
as certain and secure as possible.
1t is this same instinct that leads
careful persons of limited means to
turn to the government as the only
absolutely safe custodian for their
small savings.
In establishing postal Savings
banks a nation carries it's people
forward step in civilization, inas-
much as it is giving to them An
additional security against misfor
tune. A person who puts his saw
ings into the post-office bank will
know that when hardship and want
overtake him, whether because of
misfortune or declining years, his
money will be forthcoming. The
fact that there is such safe place
of deposit provided will induce
many to make provision against
future want who otherwise would
permit themselves to become
charges upon society when misfor-
tune overtakes them or when old
age finds them unprepared to earn
a support by their labor
To the persons for whom the
postal savings bank is intended the
rate of interest paid on deposits is
of minor Importance. What such
persons want above everything else
is absolute security against loss.
They want to eliminate from life
the danger that in their declining
years they may find themselves
without the means of sustaining
existence.
Congress should establish sys-
tenn Of postal savings banks for the
people of the United States with
out further unnecessary delay

There are too many Orders today

matter of the re1ict family of the
late John Hanley was brought up.
Mr.. Hanley was not member of the

his death, and it was decided to get
up a benefit for their relief. The
widow has FIVE small children and
all are completely without resources.
1t was decided that the benefit will
be given under the auspices of the
