Match Ii. Who Can.

The late Samuel Colt, we'll
known here, was one of the original
org anizers of The MUTUAL LIFE IN
SURANCE Co., Of New York. At the
time of bis death he held policy No.
I35, which was originally written for
only $4,000. There were S., 100 % divi-
dends added to this policy during his
lifetime, of which he drew and used
during his life 81, 399 90, leaving a oal-
ance of SO ,301 in dividends which were
added to the po icy and paid at his
death, his he rs thus receiving in cash
Sc, ,3O1, or more than double the amount
of the original policy If Mr.. Colt had
used no dividends during his life his
estate would have received SS, 700.O9, or
nearly three times the amount of the
original Insurance. What other com.
pany can show such record? Mr.. Colt
drew out and spent in his lifetime divi-
dends amounting to four fifths of the
face of his policy, and his heirs at his
death received in cash more thar
double the amount of the face of hi:
policy.

Going to Washington.

WASHINGTON, September 13.-Pres-
ident Mckinley and party, accom-
panied by Attorney General McKenna,
left Som srset, Pa: on a special train
on the Baltimore & Ohio railway.
They are expected to arrive in Wash
ington at 1 O'Clock today. After the
cabinet meeting which the pres
ident has called for Tues
day, it is stated the president
will continue his vacation until Octo-
Der l, spending his time in New Eng
land. Among the questions to be con
sidered by the cabinet on Tuesday are
the construction to be placed upon the
discriminating section of the tariff
act, the adjustment of several
questions that have arisen concerning
Alaska and the gold mines, the situa-
tion in Cuba and Hawaii, and possibly
the consideration of the uniform en-
! forcement of the presidents recent
civil service order. 1t is also exp pscted
that the president will have a confer
ence with Consul General Lee on Gu
ban affairs during his stay in the city.

General Woodford May Stir
Up Spain This Week.
THE CABINETS NOTE
The ImpetuOus Spaniard May be Called
Down If he Objects to Uncle Sans
Friendly Interference in Behalf of
Cuba.

WASHINGTON, September 13.-Dur-
ing the coming week the Cuban ques-
tion is likely to come sharply to the
front. Today Mr.. Woodford is to pre-
sent his credentials to the queenr regent
of Spain. Whether or not he presents
also the Cuban note which he carried
with him from Washington, depends
wholly upon General Woodford him
self The time at which the note is to
be presented is left to his discretion.
The note prepared by President
Mckinley and Assistant Secretary
of State Day was read to the full cabi-
net. Its chief significance is that the
United States asks to be considered a
party to the settlement of the Cuban
question. The note expresses the pre-
sident's great desire to continue the
friendly relations between the two ma
tions, and his hope is that Spain will
accept the aid of the United States in
bringing the war to an end. Except
for excitability of the Spanish and
their traditio nal hostility to the Unit
ed States in everything that concerns
Cuba, there is no reason why the note
should cause any disturbance in the re-
lat'ons of the two countries or give
alarm to commerce.
