8 Per Cent Gold Bonds.

The last issue of u. S. Government Bonds bear
only 8 per cent. interest, and yet command pre-
MUM over par. The Equitable Life Assurance
Society now offers policy convertible at matu-

Government bonds, and in other respects better.
They are better than Government bonds because
they CD are cheaper (2) are paid for in install
ments; Cd yield higher rate of interest, and Cd
are protected by assurance.
These bonds are called Gold Debentures, and
bear interest at the rate of per cent per annum

the most popular of all church devotional
books, Bishop CoXe's Thoughts on the
Services, thoroughly revised and enlarg-
ed by Dr. Whitehead, Bishop of Pitts

In addition to the changes throughout
the text rendered necessary by lapse OF
time and the revision of the Prayer
Book, it also contains fully one hundred
pages of new and valuable matter.
The hold which the original yolnme
has had on the public is attested by ITS
large and continuous sale, and NOW that
it has been revised by one of the fore

it comes before her people with the value
of d new work added to the authority and
respect given by years of active service.

Every effort has been made TO iden-
tify the body of the man found Satur-
day in Petquamsett river but. so far
unsuccesfully. A careful examination
of the body showed that the left hand
was withered somewhat, as IL 1t had

was found growing on the forefinger.

IT is not known whether the man
wore a mustache as both lips and part
OF the nose are missing. The cuff but
tons are of "A peculiar oval reddish
stone and are said TO be of value. The
body is still in the receiveing vault at
Wakefield. but there is some difficulty
over holding of an inquest, owing to a
conflict OF authority. as the body was
found just outside Narragansett dis
trict. where the local coroner's juris-
diction ends. The matter. however will
probably be adjusted this morning.
The place where the body was found
is six miles from Scarboro Beach, where
the body of Frank Shaw of Brooklyn
was found week before last. but there
apparently is little TO connect the two
cases.
