action In this city. DR.. l.. r. Sisler Of
Akron, supreme finance keeper of the
knights of the Maccabees, was here
last night making arrangements for
the preliminary movements. At the
Chttenden hotel next Monday a meet
ing of representatives of the ~ fra
ternal insurance companies now oper-
ating in Ohio, will be held. These
companies according to DR.. Sisters
figures, represent 37S,0OO persons in
sured.
One of the objects of the meeting Is
to organize an Ohio branch of the Ma
tional Fraternal Congress, a power
full organization, whose object is to
watch just such things as are being
enacted In the General Assembly at
this time. This association will i'm
mediately proceed to bring the pres
sure of all its force, political and other
wise, to defeat the measure as 1t relates
to fraternal companies.
DIR. Sislcr says that these companies
are operated upon such plan that the
taxation now proposed would operate
against them to such an extent that
they will be absolutely driven out OF
business. The Cole bill provides for
a rate of one-tenth of one per cent.
as fee for filing the annual reports
etc, and an additional one and one half
per cent. ON all gross premiums and
assessments.

THE SLEEPING CAR TUMBLER.


Have you loitered in the smoking
OF palace sleeping car,
Keeping tab upon the water tank
AS you smoke your last cigar?
Have you observed the tumbler?
Has 1t occurred to you
The many different uses
That people put it to?
Here's a fellow with collie,
His face Is pale and drawn,
Pours paregoric in it
And bids his pain begone.
Next comes a bilious drummer,
Who at the tumbler halts,
And fills the vessel blithely
With slug Of EPSON salts.
He's followed by a person
With Il customary whim
That seldlitz powder nightly
Is just the thing for him.
And on his heels comes someone
Who fancies something hot,
And takes a swing Of Roadway
To touch the chilly spot.
One takes a morphine tablet,
Which the tumblcr has to drown
Another drinks bumper
To help blue pill down.
And twenty-seven other men
AT various stages try
To send themselves to dreamland
With n thlmbleful OF rye.
And just as many other chaps
You may count them II you watch
VIII use that willing tumbler
For thimbleful OF Scotch.
You may talk Of golden beakers;
You may boast of pewter mugs;
You can chortle over tankards,
And rave of silver jugs.
But there's not drinking vessel
In restaurant or bar
That's In 1t with the tumblcr
Of u palace sleeping car.

Miss Troeller Writes of the First
Part of Long Journey.

In a letter to Akron friends, Miss
Anna Troeller, who left Akron, Feb.
/, for Sidney, Australia, there to be
married, tells of her trip from this
city to Vancouver.
She reports pleasant journey to
that point, with no mishaps, and the
weather everything one could desire.
She says:
Scenery, until today, Feb s, has
been miserable, nothing but everlast-
ing plains and prairles, covered with
snow--a most dreary aspect. Now,
however, we are in the Rockies, and
it is mountains, valleys and rushing
streams continually. Towards even
ing we will sight the Columbia and
tomorrow the Fraser. VIII arrive at
/ Vancouver tomorrow, probably late, as
our train is late, by some hours. The
sun is shining brightly today and the
air grows constantly milder. Coming
through the prairies though, 1t was so
cold one could hardly stand it to be
out of doors, even for a few moments.
All the men In that region wear bear
skin, and other fur coats. They look
droll to an inexperienced eye, but l
dare say they are warm"
Miss Troeller arrived in Vancouver
ON Thursday, Feb. 9, in the midst of a
drenching rain, and found the
"Moana," her boat in port. She left
Vancouver on Feb. Z.

Business Brisk in Poor Director S
Office.

Business is pretty lively in the Poor
Directors office these days. The con-
tinued cold weather has made it i'm
possible for many who are employed
outside, to work, and when the weekly
stipend ceases to come in destitution
and suffering follow. The poor dlrec-
tors have $50 families in their regu-
lar list and this number is greatly aug
mented by the extreme cold. The
directors distributed $26S worth of

1t is interesting to Americans to note

cent, was sold at 931a, United States
government bonds, bearing interest at
the rate of = per cert, are quoted at

commentator pertinently remarks, makes
ON each million dollars a difference of
$165,000 in the proceeds, and in addition
an annual difference of $500 in the in
terest. 1t is TO be remembered of course
that the stable demand for the . per
cents as basis for banking issues, under
the provisions of the currency act Of

factor is the circumstance that the credit
