sealed. It's collapse has. In the minds
of many impartial observers, seemed GER
tain for several weeks, and during this
time one untoward event after another
has occurred. adding to the burdens al.

While the managers OF the association
have, properly enough, kept up con.
fdent front, 1t has been apparent that
their courage and hope have steaG.;y

admissions which practically close the
case.
The financial situation is about as fol-
lows: The association owes nearly ST..
100000 ia death losses up to date.
Its triple assessment of S325,00 should

notices to all members that, in view of the

to q trustee, with q pledge that the5

the situation will say more than that he

$271,0 900, so that fourth triple assessment
would not cover the demand. And all
this time--eight months. the assessment
being bimonthly-the mortality in the
association will go on, piling up new

that the members will respond to such
demands.

A SECOND SAUL.

Those who know him best say there
is no possibility that Col. Robert G.
Ingersoll, at his Thanksgiving sermon
in Chicago, will recant any Of his
hereto fore declared convictions, while
on the other hand they admit that his
reticence concerning his topic and its
is calculated to create sur
misses and speculation. Both friends
and foes Of the eloquent agpostic agree
that no necessity exists for him TO hide
behind a cloud of mystery with the
view of drawing a crowd, for there has
never been a time 10 his experiences In
Chicago when the largest OF its halls or
lheaters have proved equal in the mat.
ter Of seating accommodations for the
thou sands, who, while not possibly be-
lieving In his announcements, have
been found willing to pay their money
in order to be temporarily %entranced
by his gift Of speech. There will be
thousands who will rot be surprised il
il proves on the coming Thanksgiving
day that Robert G. Ingersoll has de,
veloped into a second Saul.

The meaning of the words MAORI
ties and pluralities confuse a great
many people, and for their benefit it
will bear explanation. A mai ,rity is
more than half OF all the votes cast.
A plurality is the excess of votes re-
ceived by one candidate over the num-
Der given to the next highest competi-
tors. In a vote Of 1000 q candidate
must receive SOL in order to have a
majority. Any smaller number would
not be a majority, although 1t may be
twice as large, perhaps, as the vote
given any other single candidate. A
person receiving 900 out OF 1000 votes
is said to have a majority Of 100. But
suppose the 1000 votes to be divided
among three candidates as follows:
To the first 400, to the second $50, and
to the third $50. No candidate has
majority, but the first one has a piu-
rality of so votes. that being the dit.
ference between his vote and that OF
the next highest competitors.
