knows the business from A. to z. He was
for years manager OF the Commonwealth
Company In Philadelphia before assuming
cnarRe OF the home company. Its growth
under his careful management has bsen
phenomenal. Every claim has been
promptl' paid on presentation without
hagglins over the matter, as soon as the
company has been presented with the
voucher of the claim made up IN its Treas

Last year over 5000 was paid out for
sick benefits. Every death claim has been

It means another Republican United

Republican can see what this means
for Delaware after being trod under

every obstacle being placed in the
way Of Republicans toprevent them
from voting. The names left off of
the assessment list and even arrest

snow White Skin Unsoiled.
At the first glimpse of daylight on the
mornir 9 of Sept. the Hope got under
way and steamed out for Cape York to
land my faithful Eskimo assistants. As
we steamed out through the western pas
sage between Meteorite island and Akpudi
we sntsred the feet of countless bsrgs
sweeping out of Melville bay, dazzling In
their gllttering brillisnoy, and with the
dancing whitecsps flashing between them
in every direction.
Scarcely were we well within this arctic
white squadron, threading our way be-
tween the stately cruisers. when one of my
quick eyed Eskimos cried out, "Nannook-
soah! He had seen the bear for an in.
slant far up on the top of big berg, one
of the tabular giants of Melville bay, peer
ing over its precipitous face, but it had
qp'ch.y disappeared. As we steamed
slowly round the berg he came into view
again, beautiful white animal with con-
trasting black nose, moving lsisurely
along the surface Of the iceberg. The CAP
tain and both CHANGED shot at him at
long range, and the captains bullet grazed
his hind leg, making him whirl and snap
sasagely at tho wound. Then he galloped
awhwardly away and disappeared round
pinnacle of the berg. Circling the berg
again, we discovered him in the water
swimming vigorously, and several shots
were fired at him, one of which took effect,
and ho apparently collapsed completely, yet
few moments later he was swimming of
again, and IL was only after had a boat
lowered that he was secured.
The fur Of this animal was so spotlessly
white and unstained that gave orders
not to have him lowered upon the deck,
but kept him suspended from the tackle
until, few hours later, we reached Cape
York, and NOV ring the Hope against the
face Of glacier he was swung out on to
the surface of che glacier, covered with
newly fallen snow, and there skinned and
the beautiful pelt rolled up and packed
away still upsullied. This was our last
bear.--Lieutenant Peary in st. Nicholas.

THERE is no excuse for any large
manufacturing plant to have death
traps in their works. There would
be less actions for damages if the
owners of such plants would provide
the necessary safe guards and en-
ploy the right kind of help to re-
strict the happenings of accidents
to minimum. Hundreds of acct
dents such as the MASKING of a fin
ger or toe or the tearing out of such
members are never heard of by the
public. Hundreds Of our mechanics
today bear the scars of what i'm
proved machinery have done for
them, which have not been provided
with the proper safe guards. The
numerous eases for damages should
be sufficient warning to the en-
ployees to provide such remedies.
