NEW YORK, Aug. THE Atlas steam
ship Alene, which arrived today from
West India ports, reports the United
States army transport Mcpherson, from
San Francisco to New York, ashore at
Fortune Island From what could be
learned on board the Alene, it appears
that the Mcpherson was proceeding
at full speed on Aug. 2, and about 2
miles out of her course when she went
ashore.
In order to tighten her cargo, 400 men
of the Fifth infantry were landed. A
considerable quantity of STOKES were also
transferred to shore. The steamer then
attempted to back off into the deep wa
ter, but without success. The Alene
made fast to the transport and hauled
steadily for six hours, but failed to float
her. Gable reports from Nassau state
that the transport was foated Aug. 8
uninjured and proceeded on her voyage.

Charles Horner was attacked at a late
hour on Saturday night by two burly
negroes while returning to his home in
West Palmyra. One of his brothers has
recently had trouble with some of the col
ored element, and it is supposed they mis-
took him for the one against whom they
had a grievance. Horner, however, proved
capable of taking care of himself, and
when he was through with his assailants
they were fit subjects for the hospital
Charged with abducting his own daugh
er, Florence, 16 years old, Robert l. Lee,
of Easton, Pa, was brought to trial in the
court of Squire Gorrell, at Palmyra,
on Thursday afternoon. The girl had
been making her home with her grand
parents, William Thomas and wife, at
West Palmyra. Last week Lee went to
the home of the grandparents and de-
manded to know the whereabouts of his
daughter, which they refused to give.
He found out that she was working ia the
watch case factory at Riverside, and he
took her from there to Phillipsburg.
Friday he went after her clothes, and the
warrant was served on him. The justice
held him for a further hearing, but the
prisoner begged off, and agreed to return
the girl and pay all the expenses incident
to the trouble.

Paris Award for The Prudential.

The award of gold medals for American
exhibits has just been made at the Paris
Exposition, and the first and only life in
surance company in the United States tC
get gold medal or an award of any kind
is The Prudential.
1t comes as formal and official recog
milton of The PrudentiaPs excellent poll
cies and modern business methods, and
the officers feel justly proud that theirs is
the only company to be paid such a we'll
merited honor.
The company's exhibit was made at the
request of the United States government,
and the award carries with it a double sig
nificance, for it bears witness to the unique
status of The Prudential in the world Of
life insurance, and to the high character
of American exhibits in general.
The fact that The Prudential was also
able to get such q comprehensive and ex-
haustive exhibit ON such short notice from
the government authorities, and, besides,
one that received the only prize awarded
American life insurance companies, speaks
volumes for its excellent Office system and
accurate business methods, and makes il
clear that the company has its business In
all its branches under thorough control.
The Prudential gave the initiative to
the idea OF Industrial life insurance in the
United States in 1875. and, from that time
until the present, The Prudential has been
its foremost exponent, and its policies
have been held as the best and most liber-
al examples of the modern life insurance
contract.
To receive a high award is one thing,
but to receive the first and only award at
tests not only the companys command
ing place in the life insurance world but
is equally a tribute to those of its manage
ment, to whose untiring efforts the success
of the Company is so largely due. The
Prudential's award suggests the epigram.
"Praise is praise when well addressed.

In order to be Of value, especially in
legislative circles, representative must
not be changed every year. The wisdom
of continuing Congressman Gardner in the
House of Representatives has been shown
more than once, and in no instance has it
been more marked than in the matter of
free rural delivery. Congressman Gard
ner is not merely member of the House
who performs mechanical duties, but he
has given such attention to matters over
which he has had supervision as to make
him invaluable. He is not only sought for
opinions by the heads of departments but
he is an acknowledged authority. This
power is the result of being placed on inn
portant committees and thoroughly ac-
quainting himself with the matters com
ing before him.
