Our Protectloa the Best.

Our Protectioa the Best.
There is a disposition upon the
part of a great many people, who
have not given the subject careful
attention, to think that the pro-
lection offered by the fraternal
societies is not as permanent as
that offered by old line insurance
companies, and that at best it is
only an experiment. This form Of
insurance was in active operation
many years before old line COM
panies were organized, and it was
the first form of protection of any
character whatever upon human
life. England has Io,7s5 fraternal
societies; 90 of them were started
before old line companies were
thought of; 60 of them are more
than 100 years of age, and quite a
number of them have been nearly
200 years in existence. In Ameri-
ca more than 100 societies of this
class have been organized, and are
in active operation, with mem
bership exceeding 100000. They
have paid to the benehciaries of
their deceased members within the
past 80 years more than $500, ,ooo,-
600 in benefits. This class of pro-
lection is confined exclusively to
the membership of these various
Orders. 1t is in no sense of the
word speculative insurance, but
only charitable protection given
their members, and can in no way
be classed with old line insurance
which is conducted purely for pro-
fit and gain. By reference to the
insurance reports for 1898, we find
that during that year the old line
insurance companies collected
s3o4,4os,67s; paid for death losses,
$78,5o3,3o4; used for expenses,
500. 5sI,s66. During this year the
fraternal societies collected $685.
73I,757; paid for death losses, $37,-
s67,479; used for expenses, $2,47o,-
o58.
The expense element of the fra
ternal Orders came from per capita
tax upon their members, and 9S
cents Of each dollar collected was
returned to the benefciaries of
their members, while in the old
line companies only IS cents of
each dollar received was returned
to the policy-holders. The frater-
nal societies are the only organiza-
tons that are furnishing their
members insurance at the lowest
possible cost consistent with safety.
The larger amount of the money
collected by old line companies is
for speculative insurance and is
practically of no account to large
number of their policy-holders.
The one weak feature of fraternal
protection in the past has been
that large number of fraternal
societies only collected a sufficient
amount to pay the death losses as
they occurred, and did not lay
aside any sum for future emer-
gencies. Every dollar of the re-
serve of fraternal societies is used
for death losses. Only a small
portion of the legal reserve set
aside by the old line companies can
be used for the payment of death
losses, The people are thinking
and becoming enlightened rapidly
as to the advantages of the pro-
lection offered by the fraternal

W. L. STRONG DEAD.
Sudden Demise Of a Former Mayor
of New York.

I, Sudden Demise OF Former MayOr
of New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The death OF
former Mayor William L. Strong, which
occurred early yesterday morning after
q few hours illness at his home, IL West
Fifty-seventh street, was entirely unex-
pected and came as great shock to his
family and friends. Mr.. Strong had been
III for several months.
At the bedside when the former may
or passed away as quietly as he had sunk
into sleeplike stupor short time be-
fore were his wife, his son, Major Put
nam Bradlee Strong; his daughter, Mrs.
Albert r. Shattuck; two nurses and three
old family servants.
Mr.. Strong appeared as well the pre-
vious night as he had been at any time
since his old ailment, gout, attacked him
six weeks ago and dined with the family
in the evening. He retired at IL o'clock
and apparently went quietly to sleep.
Mr.. Strong, who enjoyed the distinc-
tion of being the first Republican mayor
Of New York for many years and the last
executive head Of the old city, was 70
years old.
William L. Strong was born in Rich.
land county, o., on March %, 1927.
4ne greater part OL MS UOyuOOu was
passed in his native place. When he
was 13 years old, his father died. He
was thus thrown, in great measure, upon
his own resources. He attended the COM
mon schools of the county. But the op-
portunity for a college education was by
circumstances withheld from him. When
he was 16 years old, he left home to en-
ter a retail dry goods house in Wooster,
O., where he served an apprenticeship Of
two years. Thence he removed to Mans:
field, in the same state, where, continu
ing in the dry goods trade, his prospect
were better. In 1853 he came to thi
city to enter the employ Of the the.
large and influential dry goods establish
ment of l.. o. Wilson & Co.
The firm suspended in the panic Of
1857. Mr.. Strong in the following year
entered the employ of Farnham, Dale &
Co., which was succeeded by Farnham,
Sutton & Co. and in turn by Sutton,
Smith & Co. In December, 1869, this
last named firm was dissolved, and in
January of 1870 it was succeeded by w.
l.. Strong & Co., which firm has con.
tinued to the present time.

IT GOT HIM A LICKING.
An Ohioan's Hard Luck When Start.
ing Out M . Newspaper
Reporter.

Col. n. S. Jones, who presides over the
matrimonial bureau of the probate court,
had his newspaper aspira tons chilled in a
moment when he was starting out in life He
was living in the little town of Genoa, O.,
and the proprietor of the country weekly
asked him if he would not write "squib'
occasionally, says the Toledo Bee. The
colonel promised, as he saw an opening in
the newspaper field, and had long yearned
for chance to secure place in the profess
sion which seemed to him to offer many in
ducements. Consequently he wrote up sew
eral items. Hard luck came at the start
Among the first of his items was the follow
ing:
"Our esteemed friend and fellow towns
man. Seth Bennett, is the greatest man in
the world. He licked his wife the other
night and came out without Scratch"
Hardly had the paper appeared on the
street before Seth was on the lookout for
the colonel, and found him. Now all that
the colonel remembers of the fray was that
he gave Seth harder fight than Seth's wife
had done. But he severed his connection
with the paper Immediately He carried
scars for weeks to remind him of his first and
only experience as a molder of the public
mind

"Oh! dear no" laughed the chemist:
"he is only too anxious to do so him
self. he is most impetuous fellow.
But thought it best to prepare you"
''May ask the name of your pro-
tege?" interrupted the young girl.
did I say he was my protege?"
asked Mlrdock, gently. 81 certainly
had no intention of conveying any
such impression. His name is Chat
ham-Thomas Chatham
A look, half of amusement, half Of
vexation, came into the girls eyes. 1t
did not escape Murdock's close
scrutiny.
81 judge from your reception of the
gentleman's name, that his suit is not
likely to meet with much favor in your
eyes,"
II am not aware that I have ever
given Mr.. Chatham any reason to be-
lieve that it would" answered Agnes,
stifly.
"And yet you must have understood
the drift of his attentions during the
last few months, since"
"Since it has been perfectly clear to
every one else, you mean?
"And yet" the young girl continued,
refectively, II do not see how, with
out downright rudeness, could have
done more than I have to show him
that his attentions have been distaste-
full to me-
"Then I may infer" said Murdoch,
smiling, "that you would not break
your heart if"
He seemed to hesitate in the choice
of his words.
IF he should conclude to go abroad
on long journey without subjecting
you to his impending PROPOSAL
"On the contrary, father" admitted
Agnes, II should be everlastingly
grateful to you if such a consumma-
ton could be brought about without
unnecessary rudeness or cruelty to-
wards Mr.. Chatham"
every we'll, Agnes, that is all I want
ed to see you about"
Agnes looked curiously at her father,
as if to read the purpose hidden in the
depths of his inscrutable eyes. She
saw nothing but polite dismissal in
his calm face; and the interview be-
tween father and daughter ended, as it
had begun, with formal courtesy on
both sides.

THE DELICATE FLAVOR.
Unique Method of n French Chef Who
Made Most Palatable
Salad.

At one of his famous little dinners prom
inent professional man of Washington was
greatly pleased with the salad, as were also
his guests. Evidently it was partly meat
and partly vegetable, but the flavor was new,
distinct and Understandable. This was so
faint that one guest declared: cts not a
taste at all; only smell"
At length some one suggested, says What
to Eat, that the chef be asked for the recipe,
upon which the host remarked:
My man greatly dislikes being asked for
recipes. On this occasion, however, his van
ity may overcome him if we tell how greatly
we have enjoyed the dinner, and the salad
in particular. At any rate, We'll see"
The Frenchman soon appeared, and was
visibly affected, not to say elated, by the
compliments.
"Eet gift me great plaisir," he said, "to tell
