Life Insurance.

The statement for the year 1896 of
the New England Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company, which appears on an
other page, is deserving of the careful
consideration of all who contemplate
new or increased insurance upon their
lives. The New England Mutual while
not one of the largest companies doing
business in the United States or these
islands is one of the strongest, financi
ally, and affords unequalled security
to the policy holder. AS a dividend
payer it occupies the front rank. While
keeping its surplus sufficiently large to
meet all the requirements of absolute
protection, it does not hoard for the
benefit of prosperity but returns liberal
profits to present policy holders, there
by materially reducing theScost of in
surance. Its policy is practically free
from restriction as to residence, travel
and occupation and as to non-forfeit
ure it is governed by the liberal and
just laws of the State of Massachusetts
which provide for large paid-up in
suTance in case of discontinuance at
any time after two years.
Castle & Cooke are the agents and
will cheerfully give any intending in
surer all necessary information at to
rates and conditions of policy.

4 Bad Practice.

OF late a number of hackmen, par
ticularly natives, have been driving
partly-broken animals to their vehi-
cles, to the danger and detriment of
pedestrians. Almost every day some
sort of an accident results from the
practice of driving these fresh horses.
A case in point was noticeable Fri
day morning on lower Fort street.
Hack No. 10, driven by young Ha-
waiian, came to standstill in front of
Wilder & Co.'S store, and when urged
TO proceed, the horse reared and SHE'D,
badly frightening a number of women
returning from witnessing the depart
ure of the Mauna Loa. The attention
of the Hack Inspector is called to this
fad practice Of driving partly-broken
aniamls.

William r. Blackman of
Los Angeles Admits
His Shortage.
His Wife Will Protect His
BondSmen if Her Rival
Leaves the City.
The One Whom She Accuses De-
clares That the Charges Are
Without Foundation.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 1.-The
summary dismissal of William r. Black
man from the position of secretary and
treasurer of the Los Angeles Electric Com
pany has been the talk of the city since It
occurred on Saturday. The experts have
not ompleted the examination of the de-
posed officials books, but Blackman has
admitted that he is short at least $1,000 or
$500.
President W. B. Cline of the Electric
Lighting Company last Friday examined
the trial balance sheets as presented by
Blackman and he detected discrepancy
to which he called the attention of the
secretary treasurer. His suspicious
aroused, President Cline continued his in
vestigations into the books and became
satisfied that an extensive shortage ex-
listed. He Intercepted Blackman and the
latter admitted that he was short about
$1,000.
President Cline first notified the resi-
dent agent of the Pacific Surety Company
of San Francisco, in which concern B ack-
man was bonded for $4,000. The surety
company brought about crisis by IN
structing its agent to proceed to protect
its in terests. On Saturday, as reported,
the directors met and declared vacant the
position held by Blackman, and the
surety company agent, Louis Vetter, pro-
ceeded to protect the bond as best he
could.
The valuable residence property occu-
pied by Blackman, on Lovelace avenue,
is In the name OF his wife, but Mrs. Black
man has signitied willingness to give it
up to cover her husbands delinquency on
one condition, that is that certain
woman who has apartments on Sixth
street shall leave the city and promise
TO never return.
This woman, who was first brought into
the case by the rem arks of an indignant
wife, has had her abiding place very near
the First Congregational Church, OF which
BlaCkman was treasurer. She says she
has been friend of Blackman's for years,
but to a reporter she denied ever having
received any money from him.
Mrs. Virginia Abbott says she is per-
fectly willing to leave the city if supplied
with the necessary funds. To disprove
the charges that she has been receiving
sums from Blackman, she says she has
not now $50 to her name, and when she
gets sufficient cash she will go to San
Francisco or Portland.
When Backman admitted he was short
in his accounts the Surety Company's
agent told him be could avoid imm date
arrest by consenting to permit detective
to remain with him every hour until he
should be called upon to deliver HIM up.
To this the accused treasurer consented.
and ever since last Friday evening an fl
Ger has kept him in sight.
The experts have been instructed by the
company to 60 over Blackburn's books
from the time he first took the Office In
1886. From this it appears that a short
age even larger than the confessed one is
expected to be developed.

Suicide of Ex- Sheriff
Matthews of Pierce
County.
Loses HIS Pack on the Way
to the klondyke and Kills
Himself.
Trs gle Death of a Gold-Seeke Who
Saw His Bright Hopes
Vanish.

TACOMA, WASH, Aug. "A report has
reached here from the Yukon country
that Alexander Matthews OF Puyallup,
formerly Sheriff of Pierce County, lies
buried in an unmarked grave on the road
to the Klondyke.
The story is that his raft was upset and
all his outfit went to the bottom, which
so discouraged him that he turned his
shotgun to his head and killed himself
instantly. Mrs. Matthews is overcome
with grief al the sad news which she and
her neighbors consider authentic.
The misfortune to Matthews occurred
while he was trying to run one of the
dangerous rapids which cause travellers
by the overland route so much trouble be-
fore the Yukon is reached. When his
craft struck rock he jumped out and got
ashore by swimming and wading. He
went straight to his tent which he had
left on shore while running the raft
through the rapids. His companions sup
posed he was going to dry his clothes and
remained busy with their own boats.
few minutes later q shot was heard in
Matthews tent and on their entering he
was found dead. He lad apparently held
the gun between his knees and placed the
muzzle at his head. 1t was charitdb bly,
stated by some that Matthews had been
killed while cleaning his gun preparatory
to hunting moose, but that it was case
of suicide was the generally accepted
theory. His fellow Y ukoners buried him,
but no definite report of his death was
sent to his friends.
A fatality of this kind was reported by
the Juneau and sound papers about SIX
weeks ago, but the dead man was said to
be John Matthews coming from Mon
tana. Ex-Sheriff Matthews had very
large number of friends here, who are GER
tain he was the man. They are anxiously
awaiting further news.
Alexander Matthews has been promi-
nent in this county for many years. In
1892 he was elected Sheriff and two years
later was defeated for denomination. His
administration was sensational in some
respects. The ThieI detective, NJ. C.. Sui
Ivan, was operating very extensively
through the North west at that time, and
with him Matthews could never agree.
They met one night in the Tacoma Hotel
barroom, after Matthews had been drink
ing. a scutfie ensued, and MATHEWS struck
the detective. The latter was greatly agi-
tated, and a few minutes later fell over in a
faint. In the morning he was dead of
heart disease.
Matthews went to the Yukon two years
ago. but brought nothing out. This fact
emphasizes the belief that he was SO de-
spondent on losing his supplies as to be
ready to take his own life
