International Councils Anti-MOr-
mon Meeting at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 1s-A mass
meeting of woman to protest against
Mormon polygamy, was held last night
the principal speakers being Dr.. E. J.
Elliott, Presbyterian deaconess, and
e. Campbell, missionary among the
Mormons. The meeting was one of the
many being held throughout the country
by the International Council of Women
for Christian and Patriotic service. Miss
Helen Gould is vice president of the
council
Dr. Elliott, in the course of other re-
marks, said:
'Pologamy is spreading with Mormon
ism. 1t is not confined to Utah, but ex-
lists in Idaho, New Mexico, Arizona. Wv
oming, Nevada and Colorado. If four
more states are added to the nine in
which the Mormons already have politl-
cal power, it will be impossible to legis-
late against t1em.''
Resolutions were adopted urging con-
gress to take prompt action in favor of
an amendment prohibiting polygamy, and
making its practice punishable by dis
REIMBURSEMENT.

how the proposed duty can increase the

AT present, however, says the CONSUL
there seems little doubts that the proS

ton of wheat is American grown. this
will seriously affect the interests of the
American farmer. GA duty of 40 to 80

MUTUAL LIFE PRESIDENT DIS
CUSSES RELATIONS WITH
GERMAN EMPIRE
STORY Is LABELED AS UNTRUE
That American Insurance Companies
Will Unload American Secur-
titles to Gain Entrance
to Prussia.

NEW YORK, Dec 1S-The attention of
President McCurdy, of the Mutual Life
Insurance company, has been directed to
the following assertion which have been
repeated frequently OF late: The Ameri-
can insurance companies may unload their
stockholdings so as to be able to do
business in the German empire. This
would throw upon the stock market next
year many millions worth of american
railway stock. 1t is said that the stock
holdings of the Mutual Life Insurance
company alone approXimates sd, 0OO0IO.
The further declaration was made that
it was believed in insurance circles that
the report is true
$50 far as this company is concerned,
Mr.. McCurdy said, the report Is absolutely
false. We have never contemplated such
a proceeding; we do not now, and reasons
multiply daily why we should not in the
future The motives actuating the per-
sistent circulation of this story are per-
haps best left to the imagination. but
one fact is certain, they arc neither
worthy not patriotic.
THE TROUBLE IN GERMANY
"Ihe full history of the difficulty which
arose between our company and the Prus-
sian government is too long and compit-
Gated for present recapitulat.on, but it suf
ficient to say that the revocation Of our
license in 1896 was due-to a misapprehen-
sion on the part of the government re-
garding certain details of our companys
business This misapprehension has since
been acknowledged by the government,
and we infer from an allusioh in the
presidents message to congress that our
state department has received assurances
that the wrong will be righted and the
privilege restored.
I'VE see no reason for discrediting
American securities by substituting there
for the obligations of foreign governments.
The suggestion of such an ace I can only
regard with earnest Indignation as I'M
patriotic and unAmerican, as it surely
would be grossly unjust to our fellow cit
liens, whose savings are invested in the
securities Of their own country, in whose
progress and stability they have sturdy
faith

GOVERNMENT ADVANCE PAY.
Rare Instance in Which 1t Has
Been Made.

THE government seldom pays for ser
vices until they are rendered, but the pay
Of the clerical force in Washington for the
month Of November was rare exception"
said disbursing officer to a Star reporter.
''For instance, If q clerk applies to me
for advance on his months salary on.
say, the 9Th of the month. 1 consult, II
have not the amount in mind the govern
ment salary tables and ascertain the sum
coming to him by days. II the limit is SIS
1 hand him only that amount even though
he were to ask for $50.
1.-THE reason for the rule is that we do not
pay for services until they are rendered.
Were the clerk to die or be dismissed on
the sixth day and had advanced him $50
1 would be held personally responsible for
the excess Of So paid him unless his heirs.
In the event of his death. he himself.
were he dismissed, refunded the amount to
me. In either Of these events q refund
would be improbable. If dsbursing clerks
wish to accommodate their clerical friends
by advance overpayments they do so at
their own risk.
''If the entire clerical force Of the depart
ments had died on Thanksgiving day, Uncle
Sam when he filled their places at 8 a m. on
November 80 would have been out several
hundred thousand dollars in cash for clerk
hire paid for but not rendered, and would
have had also to pay his entire new force
for their days labor on the Both. The rea-
son is because the clerks were paid in full
for the month Of November on Wednesday.
the 2Sth. Thursday being a holiday, the
clerks were entitled to their pay, but on
Friday. the Both, they were all working
and had been paid in advance.
1T was, however, a nice thing to do to
pay in full on Wednesday by reason Of The
Intervening of a holiday between the next
preceding day and the last day Of the
month. The government could not possibly
sustain any actual loss. I have not heard
of any deaths on the 3Oth and If any poor
chap happened to be summarily dismissed
at 8 o'clock on the morning Of that day he
would certainly be welcome to the days
pay he had received in advance.
about the lowest paid employe Of the
government in Washington Is the char
woman, who receives $50 year, or forty
one cents day. The highest salaried off,
Ger is the President, who receives $137 per
day. A cabinet officer, whose salary Is SS.-
600, receives SO. and senator and mem
ber at 5000, receive a little over $13.
"A soldier once said to me that he could
never understand why Congress fixed the
pay of soldier at $13 a month; why 1t
wasn't f1xed at $14 or SIS.
IA solution to the problem Is probably
that the members of the House fixed sol
dter's monthly pay at the same amount
they received day. and they let it go at
that"
