INSURANCE On oueEN.s lie.

About $4,000, 600 Written to Provide
Against Losses In Trade.
The queens life was insured by her
subjects for about 1000, 900. This
statement was made by an insurance
official in London, whose authority is
indisputable. The particular company
Of which he is the head must pay out
$4,000 among a number of people who
held policies on her majesty's life. The
life of the king, as Prince of Wales,
Is also widely insured, and will GER
tainly be more so hereafter as Edward
VII. Obviously, of course, people are
not at liberty to insure a monarch's
life merely at will. 1t must be shown
that they have what is technically
called an "Insurable interest in the
queens or kings lie" Managers OF
theaters and great Sublic entertain
ments have almost invariably insured
the queens life, "a view Of the effect
Of her death UPON rheig business, in
volving diminished audiences for an
indefinite period, and closed doors on
certain dates. Similarly great drapery
warehouses in London safeguarded
themselves by insurance against the
certainty Of the queens death causing
a sudden interruption of the ruling
fashions. Prince Arthur's life was
very generally insured when he was
yet a boy, but upon his joining the
army and going out to Egypt as the
Duke of Connaught the premiums al
most doubled with the additional risk
of war. Hence a preference exists for
insuring the lives of female members
Of the royal family, whose natural
chances of reaching a ripe old age has
the effect Of keeping the premiums at
or ever under the normal rate. In the
west Of England-and absolutely. no.
where else-leases were commonly TAX
en- for the period Of the queens life, .
instead Of for a stated number Of years,
as in other parts Of the country. The
custom gave rise to the practice OF
l~easeholders in those parts insuring
the queens life, lest by her sudden de-
mise they should suffer heavily
through the expiring Of their leases,
While so many Of her subjects mani
tested this pecuniary interest in the
late queens life, her majesty never
\ insured herself for any sum, great OF
small. Nor is the life Of King Ed
ward VII insured by himself-London
Express.

A mining newspaper says that tur-
quoise mining in New Mexico is one
Of the Oldest industries Of the country,
but the output is quite limited. The
turquoise output is usually more valu-
able than that Of any other precious
stone found IN this country. but the
output Is worth only from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year. Some Of the stones
are used by jewellers, but most Of them
find their way into mineral cabinets
and museums. The mining Of precious
stones in u country has never been
a large industry and the annual prod
uet is worth only about $4,000 a
rear.

Flag Day,

The American Flag Association,
comprising flag committees from
veteran, military, patriotic and histori-
cal societies in the United States,
formed few years ago to promote
reverence for and prevent the desecra-
ton of the flag of our country, calls
attention to the approach of the I4th
day of June, the first "Flag Day in
the Twentieth Century. The associa-
ton earnestly sohcits the cooperation
of officials and the people in secur-
ing the widest possible recognition
of the day and a general and patriotic
celebration. June I4th has come to
be considered as "Flag Day" because
on that day in r777 Congress enacted
that "the flag of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white: and that the Union
be thirteen Stars, white in a blue
field, representing new constella-
ton" The stars and stripes now
posses new beauty for friendly eyes
and new terror for the foes of liberty.

Mrs, John Rantz.

Mrs. John Eantz, widow of the late
John Rantz of Benton township, died
at the home of her son Jonas, Thurs
day, and was inferred in the Benton
cemetery Saturday afternoon, aged
about 90 years. John Rantz who
died several years ago was a Fort
Mifflin victim, by reason of political
persecution in the days Of extreme
political excitement. Mr.. Rantz was
90 when he was arrested by despotc
will and power and military intimida-
ton. The Rantz have ever been
noted as a peaceable, quiet and un-
pretentrous people and of German
descent. John Rantz' prison life was
brief but severe, lasting 8 months and
II days in the filthy bastile of Fort
Mifflln. The wife who just passed
away was a woman ofgreat experience
by reason of the military troubles that
afflicted her household. The death OF
this woman calls up many sad reflec-
tions that have been buried for years.

and was furnished with an outline of

written just as he wanted 1t, and
when it was read to him he exclaimed,
That's splendid; that will make his

editor, Snow let me see,what are your
initials ?" "Good heavens" said the
citizen, "You are not going to sign
my name to 1t !" "Why not2" asked
the editor. 81 would not have any

Exciting Runaway.

S. Fl. Harman had a runaway Sun
day morning and as result his hand
some rubber tired carriage was almost
demolished. He emergedlfrom the
Central Hotel alley about half past
ten, the animal prancing with exces-
sive vigor and the high finish of the
carriage glstening in the morning
sunlight When in front of the Ex.
change Hotel the horse began to dis
port little too much for Sans com
iort. He applied the whip, but it
failed of its purpose. The horse dash
ed down Main street paying its com
pliments to the dashboard about every
Ten feet. In attempting to stop, the
norse was turned suddenly to the left
and collided with an awning post in
front of Watson's Millinery store. The
wooden timber was torn from its posi-
ZION and front wheel of the carnage
vas twisted off. The horse now was
thoroughly frightened and unmanage
,b.e. But Sam was equal to the oc'
casio, with the agility of an equestrian
he jumped from the crippled vehicle
and held fast to the lines until the
animal was conquered. Neither Mr..
Harman nor the horse was hurt.

ment for Use at Military
Funerals.

The June meeting OF Council held
Thursday evening of last week was at
tended by President Ikeler and mem.
bers, Rabb, Dieffenbach, Cronin,
Webb and Kashner.
In regard to the State furnishing the
necessary arms and equipment, for
use at military funerals, reply in the
negative was received from Adjutant
General Stewart. The epistle states
that all the equipage now in use by
the National Guard of this State had
been loaned from the government. 1t
suggested however, that if an effort
was put forth by Council. second hand
instruments or arms might be secured.
The matter was allowed to rest for the
present.
Bills aggregating S593,or were pre-.
sented and the Secretary was instruct.
ed to issue orders for payment of
same.
The repairing of First street be-
tween Iron and North was recomend-
ed by Mr.. Kashner, but continued till
next meeting, as was also the election
of ward policemen.
The Committee on Highways is to
confer with S. c. Greasy, in regard to
paving the walk along Seventh street,
below Sixth. Mr.. Greasy appeared
and stated that in his opinion the
cobbling Of the gutter is pre- requisite
work.
A petition to improve Fifth street
from Market 10 East, and fix up the
paving of that thoroughfare with a
suitable material between Market and
Iron was presented by c. c. Peacock.
Referred to the Solicitor.
The gutter on First street near
Market was complained of by E. B.
Tustin. As soon as pipe arrives same
will be repaired.
The ordinance question relating to
the electric railway was taken up by
Council. The fifth and sixth sections
occasloned considerable discussion,
which finally resulted in the disap.
proval of both sections. They were
voted on separately, each receiving
FIVE negative votes out of six.
Mr.. Scanlan of the Columbia and
Montour Electric Railway Company
was asked by Mr.. Dieffenbach, whether
the Company, if allowed to lay T rails
now, would replace them some time
in the future if Council so desired
with the girder rails.
Mr.. Scanlan's reply was that the
Company would not entertain such a
proposition, as it would mean double
work and expense. He then extended
an invitation to Council to accompan,
him to some cities where the T rail!
were in use. He suggested Allen
town and other places in that section
1t was moved and seconded tha
the invitation be accepted. They lef
