The Aetna Life'S Fifteen-paymUnt
Life and Endowment Policy in
Competition.

u These policies issued by the Aetna
~ enables it's agents to offer strong !
~ inducements to prospective insur- Z
q ants in competition with those of I
q other companies. Taking the aver I
o age rate of ten leading companies {
% at an age of twenty-five on the
q twenty payment life plan, we find
y that the premiums average $92.63 :
- for a $4,000 policy, or $5,952.6O :
~ for the twenty years. The Act {
q mas fifteen-payment life, at the
q same age, costs $297.2O, or S4,4oS
d for the fifteen years, the difference
@ in the premium for full term being
@ 81, 1880, equal to a dividend of
y 80 per cent on the annual pre-
~ miums for the whole premium pc
~ riod after the first two years. The
q comparison corresponds with this
n for other ages. The simple pre-
~ senta ton of this comparison ought
e to be convincing argument when
o clearly made, especially In view of
Q the fact that paid-up policies are
more favorable to the assured of
" the fifteen-year than on the TWEEN
~ tyyear plan. The large dividend
~ paid by some of the companies
q has long been one of the strongest
@ claims made by them. Adividend
@ of 80 per cent. deducted at the
o beginning of the year has so much
9 to be said in it's favor that the

cant. Thomas c. Macmillan, OF Louis

ieft there yesterday and says that there

have sOld Mt the rate of eight cents q

Last Night, and Attracted a Great
Deal of Auention-others VIII be
Finished This week-ThC General
Committee Requests Business Men
to use Hunting With all Possible
LiberaIity Next Week.


That the West Virginia grand lodge
meeting and the trl-state encampment
Of the Uniform Rank knights of Pyth-
las is coming on apace, was shown
last night when the lights were turned
on at the arch located at the corner of
Sixteenth ard Market streets. The arch
remained lighted for several hours, and
the spectacle attracted much atten-
ton, and the general verdict was that
with nine of these arches 1t can be said
wheeling's streets were never so law
lshly decorated for any affair in the
past.
The design includes the arch proper,
spanning the street, and a top bar rum
ming horizontally across, each studded
with lncandescent lights six inches
apart. The lights are red, blue and
white, but the white is so nearly yellow
that the effect is most appropriate. the
Pythian colors being red, yellow and
blue.
The work of putting up the arches is
being done by the Mountain State Elec-
trical Company, and the others will be
finished before the close of the week.
The others are located as follows:
Fourteenth and Market.
Fourteenth and Main.
Twelfth and Market two.
Twelfth and Main.
Eleventh and Market.
Eleventh and Main.
Stone & Thomas corner
The general committee requests the
business people and citizens generally
to decorate their business houses and
homes as literally as possible next
week, and the use Of the Pythlan oolors,
blue, yellow and red is recommended.
The several subcommittee were hard
at work yesterday finishing the last of
the arrangements for the coming affair,
and on all sides the prediction is being
made that PythIan week Will be the
greatest Wheeling has witnessed.

THE PAGES DIFFICULTY.
An Amusing Incident at a Georgia
Wedding.

A good story comes from Atlanta, but
the incident happened several seasons
ago. The occasion was a swell church
wedding. The edifice had been glori-
ously decorated. The bride surrounded
by company of pages, flower girls and
maids of honor, was slowly passing
down the aisle, while the prospective
bridegroom and his best man and the
officiating clergyman. were taking their
places. The church organ was pealing
forth the sounds as of joyous wedding
bells. Fashionable people dressed for
handsome church.
1t so happened that one of the pages
had in the rush of business preparatory
to dressing for the occasion been turned
over to the care of nurse. AS he
proceeded down the main aisle of the
church in company with the other
youngsters, who, in white satin suits,
were doing the honors of each respect
i've household, he suddenly espied his
mother seated in one of the pews.
At this point the organist began
playing softly as the wedding party
passed to the altar. Then, above the
gentle strains of music, clear as bird,
could be heard the voice of the afore-
said small boy, Mamma" he shrlliy
cried, nurse put on my panties wrong
side before, and I can't hardly walk!
OF course, the Mortified mamma could
do nothing but blush scarlet, but lifted
prayer to heaven that the young
scion would keep still from that time
on. And he did, and received hearty
kiss from the bride at the close OF the
ceremony. This is a true story, ana
can be vouched for by those who at
tended the wedding.-Galesburg tGa)
