An Account ? ., ~

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
offense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestlgate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
go long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's poor way to do if you
want to leave your children in
affluent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at a well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account al d
will pay in few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda Of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
so frequently and so ca, efully

for the Universiiy's Benefit.
Mrs. Jane Stanford has had her
life insured for the largest amount
that has ever been written by any
insurance company. The benefi-
ciary under the policy will be the
Leland Stanford Jr. University.
According to the policy, she is
to pay an annual premium OF
$4,000. Should she die at any
time within the next ten years the
company agrees to pay to the
Stanford University the enormous
sum of $l,O0O,OOO. Should she
survive for ten years the amount
to be paid to the beneficiary will
then be doubled, and 100000
will be the portion of the great
educational institution at Palo
Alto.
Mrs. Stanford is now in the
neighborhood of 68 years and her
health is good, and there is every
prospect that her latest move in
the interests of the Palo Alto uni
versity will eventually bring to
that institution the sum of $1,000

LONDON. April 2.-The British gov
ernment is engaged in building what
will be when completed the fastest boat
IN the world. Its object in construct
ing this craft is to possess vessel that
will be superior to the Admiral Porter,
owned by the United States, and until
a short time ago known as torpedo boat
No. 6. This marvellous craft that Brit
ain is building will be able to steam 80
knots an hour-a trife less than SS
miles.

of construction at the shipyards of Laird
Brothers, at Birkenhead. Her engines
will be capable of attaining 10000 indi-
Gated horsepower The tremendous
power Of this tiny boat, for she Is only
of $50 tons burden, can be best appre-
ciated by considering the fact that she
will be able to develop fully as great
an engine power as the Renown, bat
tleship now building for England. which
will have a displacement of 1880 tons.
