FRATERNAL SOCIETIES
INSURANCE.
Some Interesting Facts Furnished
by Organizer Borthwick, of Wood
men of the World.

The Tribune representative, in con-
Ncrsation with John Borthwick, sover-
eign deputy of the Woodman of the
World, CLEANED some facts of such i'm
portance to a large body of men that
the reading of some will be very inter-
esting, particularly so since Mr.. Borth-
wick is always very conservative in
his statements.
The magnitude of the fraternal
beneficiary system and the grand and
noble work being performed by that
kind of insurance organizations" said
he, ARE almost beyond human COM
rrehension. on January l there were
l27 fraternal insurance orders report
ing to the state insurance department
Of New York; their combined member
ship was about three and one half
millions of people furnishing insurance
To the fabulous amount of 1856 millions
OF dollars. Fraternal orders are paying
out benefits at the rate Of one million
dollars a week to widows and orphans,
thLa proving a great blessing to the
ert:re community.
This form of insurance is still i'm its
infancy, yet over five hundred millions
C' dollars have already been paid by
the different orders. How, many peo-
pie that vast amount Of money has
directly benefited is beyond compre-

THE PIGEON NUISANCE.
They Ravage our Gardens and De-
stroy Plants at VIII.

The pigeon is one of the oldest
birds known to the human race
The small pigeon, or rather the
SQUAD, is considered very fine
dish, and they are raised very ex-
tensively by some people for that
purpose.
But thelpigeons, unlike chickens,
seems to be privileged characters,
for they have wings and can fly
and go where they please, because
of that fact is why we write this
article.
Some of the residents of North
Ardmore are complaining of their
neighbors pigeons making a feed
ing ground in their gardens. They
say that it is almost impossible to
raise ANYTHING on account Of these
pests. They swoop down on the
good housewives garden, eat her
peas, beans, and even young
plants. You interfere with a lady's s
garden and You touch her heart,
for her heart is set on her garden,
and after she has labored hard
during early morn and late in the
evenings, planting her seeds, and
then when nature causes them to
sprout and burst forth to have q
lot of old pigeons come along and
destroy them all, it is provoking in
the extremes.
Judge Gait says it is against the
law to shoot inside the corporation
but there is no law against setting
