cially and financially. Nothing of polft-
ical or sectarian character can be intro
duced, nor in its ceremonies is there any
thing to disturb the most sensitive mind
The great success of fraternallsm dur
ing the past twenty-eight years has
proven eonclusively the reliability and
economy of furnishing family protection,
and is rapidly converting to its ranks the
intelligent insuring public. And in this
connection it is claimed for the National
Union that it is one of the safest and best
because founded on correct business prin-
ciples.
The plan of insurance Of the National
Union is only just beginning to receive
the consideration which it's merits de-
serve. At the last meeting OF the fra
ternal congress, held in Boston, the chief
topic of discussion vas the step-rate plan
of protection, and it received much favor
able attention.
No certificates are issued to persons
over forty years Of age for more than
$4,000.
This is the so-called step-rate plan OF
fraternal insurance, and, as the National
Union is the pioneer in the adoption OF
it, the $500 members of the twenty-five
councils in the District of Columbia
naturally feel that they have made safe
investments. The order is growing rapid
ly In this Jurisdiction, when the thorough
medical examinations are considered. The
officers and members look forward to O
prosperous year for the National Union In
1902.
All the local councils have delegates in
the cabinet, whose Jurisdiction embraces
county. or as. here, the District of Co
lumbia. The cabinet. through the dele
gates learns of the exact condition OF
the various councils, and aids the weak
and encourages the strong councils to re-
newed efforts. Such legislation as laid
the cabinet for the welfare of the order.
The membership in the National Union
in this; jurisdiction. as well as in all
other States and Territories, is made up
of representative citizens, business men,
professional men and wageworkers, who
vie with each other in carrying out the
principles of the order. While the bust
ness community of Washington and the
various departments are well represent
ed in the ranks of the National Union,
the Government Printing Office furnishes
the largest quota. and several councils
have been organized by the employees OF

saw any such will and never heard OF
it until it's execution was alleged by
the contestants. He had made dill
gent search for it through Mr.. Moore's
papers in his custody, as directed by
the court to do, and failed to find it.
Mrs. Robertson, her fathers house
keeper since the death of her mother,
testified that she had never seen nor
knew of such a will. and had also
searched through such papers as she
had access to, as directed by the court
and failed to find it. The contestant
admits that she has no knowledge
it's whereabouts or existence. Mr.
VanCamp swore Mr.. Moore put the
will into his pocket, and that is the
last trace of it in evidence.
There were more than a score OF
witnesses sworn and the above is
merely an outline of the main features
of the case, dozen sworn to CONVEX
sations with Mr.. Moore in which he
referred to the will of 1891 as the dis
position Of his property, and MIR.
Hogan as his executor.
1t will be argued at a date not yet
fixed before Judges Searle and Baxter,
It's trial was intensely interesting
throughout both sides having tact and
skill in getting It's testimony before
the court.
The result of the argument will be
awaited with equal interest.

aiiSTOOK HIS MAN.

A Cautious American Tourist and His
Travelling Companion.
A cautious American travelling from
Paris to Nice some years ago found
stranger in the compartment in which
he had secured berth.
"Are YOU Mr.. -?' said the sran-
ger.
The American in surprise answered
affirmatively.
"Hav' said the stranger. 81 inquired
at the booking Office who was to be
my travelling companion"
The American realized that this was
no ordinary man and soon found him
self almost hypnotized by the stran-
gers commanding eye.
When the man proposed cards, the
American suspected that he was pro-
fessional gambler. He made many ex-
cuses, finally saying that he cared for
none Of the games which his compan-
ion suggested.
"All right" was the discomforting
reply; "we'll play anything you like"
When the American mentioned an
OUSCuIt IcuCu game, WAlCu hC AopCu
the other would not know, and found
his suggestion taken up eagerly, he
was more than ever suspicious.
But" asked the American, do you
know how to play it?'
NO." was the reply, ''but you can
teach me-"
The American now had little doubt
that the man was card expert, look
ing for victim, but, as no suggestion
of high stakes was made. he concluded
to venture and after some hours play
ing had seen nothing on the part of his
fellow passenger that looked Like
cheating.
But when next morning his compan-
lon suggested that they play again to
while away the time the American
grew suspicious again and pleaded a
headache.
When they entered the station at
Nice, the man handed the American
his card. 1t bore the name of Lord
Russell of Killowen, lord chief justice
of England.-Youths Companion.

THE OLD TIME DERBY.

on the manners and customs of the rae

and contrast them with the new meth

down to the little Surrey town, and a
could force his way from Westminster
to EPSON in twelve or fourteen hours
without dislodging a wheel en- route.
None but the richest class could afford
to drive there at all, for those were
days when tradesmen thought, like
John Gilpin, an outing once in two
years as much as they could afford.
In those days, too, visit to EPSON
meant making a week Of it. Lodgings
had to be taken in the town by those
who were not fortunate enough to be
invited to share the hospitality Of some
local magnate. Racing began about II

heats the company would retire to the
town to dine, returning later to witness
