gests from the old DAYS when our
neighbor and rival town had two
lively newspapers The Press has
never attempted to gloat over these
changed conditions, but they are OF
historical value, and assuch are sub
leet to newspaper mention. Thefact
OF the Journals removal brings up
many "reminiscences of the old days.
including the newspaper wars be-
tween both st. Lawrence papers ard
the Press. In looking through
drawer today in this Office we ran
across copy ef the st. Lawrence
Journal dated Dec. 9, 1886, about
II years ago.. That paper was edit
ed by Bro. S. +. Sage, andcontained
his usual pyrotechnic. Hare is what
he said:
"Knocked Ont in One Round.''
''it has been an impatient wait for
us, but it has come mt last, and the
journal is again permitted TO knock
out it's bombastic contempo rary, the
Miller Press, and we might also add
that it comes with a pecul iarly good
relish to US. But since the Press had
the temerity to publish it's array OF
improvements pretty good showing

to $71 ,4JO. A week previous to this
the Press had given Miller's inn

that Bro. Sage gave a list for st.

after all those years OF ghting, very
bitter at times, it seems like Il pecu

moved to Miller To run the Press
out. It's career soon ended, and its

fall, when it ceased altogether, and
it's su description book is now also in

Superior Boy In Trouble.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington Wednesday afternoon
conveyed information that Albert Hunt
formerly of this city was under arrest
at Petersburg, Virginia, charged with
the murder Of a man named Parish on
Christmas day. According to the re-
ports Hunt and Parish were both en-
gagged on some railroad work, and dur
ing some trouble among the men Parish
was shot. Hunt denies that he did the
shooting, and able counsel in the person
OF State Senator W. B. McIrvine will
look after his interests
Albert Hunt formerly lived here at
the East End, where he attended the
Nelson Dewey school. and is we'll
known by many East Enders. He left
the city about six years ago and has
since been employed on railroad work.
For some time past he has held a posi-
ton for New York firm ofcontractors.

Ffaternal Insurance Orders.


The mere statement that there were
nearly 1900, 900 members Of fraternal
orders On December 81, 1898. compared
with 2,l66 PA policies in force in old
line HE companies reported to the New
York State insurance Department, will
give some idea OF the relative social i'm
portance OF the two systems. On the
date named there was about s., 700, 000.-
coo worth of old-line life insurance in
force in the United States. compared
with IS, 400 100000 worth of benefit GER
tificates in force issued by fraternal or
ders. 1t only remains to be added, tt
show clearly the point Of view of the
friends Of cooperative life insurance
of life insurance companies in 1898 was
81 sos sol, while the CORRESPONDING
item, with reference TO fraternal orders
was s., $50, 800. Thus we find two-thirds
of the life insurance business of the
country in the hands of about Is old
line life companies and about one-third
conducted on a cooperative basis by
fewer than 200 fraternal orders. With
onethird OF the business the fraternal
orders are carving on their work of
providing benefits for surviving rela-
tives of deceased members at one-twen-
tieth Of the expense for cost of manage
ment reported BY the old-line compan-
les, little less than 5 per cent. as
much. This they have been doing with
varying success, considerably more
than less, for a quarter of a century,
and the movement has always been one
of progress. That they will So continue,
that the system will be still further per
fected, and that they will remain the
source of lie insurance or death bene-
fits at low cost per capita and per
81 900 of insurance, there is no POSSIBLE
ity of doubt. From "Fraternal Insur-
ance,' by Albert c. Stevens. in the

THE NOMINEE SATURDAY NIGHT

4 HE NOMINEE SAIU RDAG NIGHT
1t NAV seem strange to those giving
theatricals little attention, but to those
OF the profession it is a we'll known fact
that some of cur foremost and most
successful comedians aspire to the tray
ic side of their art, and perhaps not
without good reason, for many wear
er of comedy's mask has exchanged it
for the serious. Few legitimate play
ers, however, seem to care to enter
comedy's realm. Of course there are
exceptions now anG then. Mr.. Walter
Walker, whose engagement in The
Nominee" is announced for Dec 80, is
an example of the latter class, he hay
ing for years played nothing but legiti-
mate roles. A change came as changes
will to all of US for good or i'll when
least expected. Mr.. Walker was unex-
pectedly cast to play comedy part.
He says he went on with fear and
trembling, but it seems it did not do SO
badly. l surprised myself more than
my associates. As Il result, was soon
tempted to 1orego my former fayorlte
characters. Last season Mr.. Walker
made such popular hit Gas all know
who saw him. in the star role of "A
Bachelors Honeymoon" as to warrant
his continuance in the adopted field.
He comes to Us this season in the Su-
perior comedy before mentioned which
Nat Goodwin showed usa few wears
ago. Theatre goers will recall how this
great comedy made Goodwin audiences
laugh immoderately in every point of
the compass. Mr.. Walk er's company
is said TO give a performance as finished
and brilliant as the play ever had. Tie
assisting east embraces the following
names, which are of such familiarity as
to warrant the assertion: Miss Mildred

Gertrude Augarde, Mr.. Clayton Legge,
