GEORGE HART.

The funeral OF Mr.. George Hart
whose remains came from milwaukee,
on Monday night took place on Tues
day morning from Pythian Castle Hall
under the supervision OF the Knights
and Rathbone sisters. Rev. M. Chase
officiated and made short address.
He said, in part, that such orders as
this with its mantle OF Friendship,
Charity and Benevolence, covered one
of the saddest features OF life, "the
death OF stranger In strange
land" How such feelings OF lonliness
and utter desolation pass away In the
consciousness that here, as worthy
member of an order, the stranger has
the reality Of Friendship, Charity and
T,enovolence, ''f was a stranger and
We took me in, says our Lord in His
numeration of the six acts Of mercy,
upon which the final judgment is to
be made. "And this Is what the Pyth-
ian order has done, and the light of
this divine act must rest upon it,"
Mr.. Hart came from England some
years ago. He worked for the G. M.
Il St. j. ty, as stone cutter, and
resided in this city, of and on, for
about nine years, and during the past
two years he WAS in declining health.
He had no relatives in this country,
but found true friends in the order of
which he was member. The floral
offerings were many and silently testi-
fled in most beautiful way that he
who was once II stranger at our
gates,n in his sulfcrings and death,
had cxemplitcd the brotherhood OF
humanity"
The choir, undar the direction of
j. w. Anderson, sang most ellctually,
Representatives OF both orders acted
as an escort to the grave, where the
pythian ritual WAS carried out Rev.

1t seems after all that policy hold
crs will have to pay u good share, II
not all, of the new tax upon life insur'
ance companies. The Madison Demo
crat says.
AS n result of the passage OF the
law increasing the tax on life insur-
ancc companies doing business In
Wisconsin, the state of New York Is
compelled by the terms of It's rctallia-
tory law to levy the same tax on Wis
cousin life insurance companies, and
this means u large additional tax To
be paid by the Northwestern Mutual
Life. The only Wisconsin company
of this kind doing business In New
York IL the Northwestern, and lnsnr-
ance Superintendent Payne of the en-
piro state has just written letter to
the Milwaukee company, fully ex-
planning the conditions. The Vigilant,
nm insurance paper, estimates that the
new Wisconsin law will cost the
policyholders about 1890, 600, which IL
II per cent. on the dividends paid by
the company last year. The tax which
will have to be paid in New York by
the Northwestern Mutual will be about
1877 900 per annnm, against but 300
In 1898.

The next time a travelling peddler
calls at your door and tries to sell
you goods, ask if he will take your
eggs, butter and other farm products
ask him if when your neighbor gets
ready to build bridge over the
slough, he will willingly donate few
dollars to help it along. Tell him
there is poor family down the road
would he donate little money to buy
provisions: ask him if he will contri-
butte to new enterprise, just starting.
Your home merchant will do all this
and much more.
