ANWUITLES

Prof. c. s. Grimes of Evanston, Ill.,, now q4 years of age, carried a. policy of s5,ooo for many years and when he reached the advanced age of 7ohe despaired Of its ever becoming a claim, so he compromised with the company on the basis of an annuity of S4Ioper year for the rest of his life. During the past 24 years he has received his annual payments with regular ity and great equanimity of mind and, having already drawn So, $40, he has come to the conclusion that he has found the elixir of life in an Annuity.
 At age 70, sr,ooo deposited in The Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York will yield an annuity of SI34.77 for life.
 This great corporation is the most wealthy moneyed institution in the world and more than SIo, 900, 900 in claims has been paid Tn this state through the under signed.

NOT YET ANNEYED.

Those who expected that by this time the Star Spangled Banner would be flying from the North Pole are disap- pointed. Wellman, Baldwin and Peary have all failed to reach the Pole or to get farther north than others have been. But in spite of his failure to do the greatest work Lieutenant Peary has done great work. He went farther to- ward the Pole than anybody had ever gone except Dr. Nansen and party from the Abruzzi expedition. This alone is something of an achievement and yet Lieutenant Peary at the same time earned greater distinction. When he had taken his journey beyond the highest point reached by Mares in the Polar Sea he had advanced to a more northerly latitude on that body of water than had ever been attained be- fore. When he was compelled to turn back he was nearer the Pole than any exploring party had ever been which had set out from the western hemi- sphere. An epidemic among his Es- quimaux deprived him of some of the advantage which he expected to gain from their transfer to more northern points than they had inhabited. Still, his food supply was assured, he added largely to his scientific collections, and he accomplished definite and valuable results in exploration.
 Somebody will yet reach the Pole. We hope that somebody will be citi- zen of the United States. Perhaps if J. Pierpont Morgan should set out to have the Pole reached it would be.

4 NEW WRTNKLE.


 That all the big possibilities in the way of combination have not been ex- hausted is indicated in the interesting news that comes from Boston to the ef- feet that all the gas companies of Greater Boston are to be merged and eventually will furnish gas for fuel only. The Brookline company's plant will produce electricity, which is intend ed to supersede gas as an illuminant. This is taken to mean the eventual consolidation of all the gas and electric light interests of Greater Boston. Ul- timately the gas plants, except that of the Broolline company, will be closed and sold, or used to produce gas for fuel only, while electricity will be made suf- ficiently cheap to become the sole il- luminant.
 This is highly important if true, and there is good reason to believe that it is true. Perhaps there will be other such combinations in places where money can be made by such combining.

sul Mason. 'is based upon an agree ment that its members shall contribute to pay to such members as export their products bonus equal to the difference between the current price of the mer- chandise in the German markets and the price actually obtained for it abroad" This means that Germans at home will have to pay enough for the iron, steel and coal they buy to make a profit for producers not only on what is bought in Germany, but also on what is sold abroad.
 Awhile ago the Germans were afraid that they wouldn't be able to sell us any iron and steel, but it now appears that they can if they will sell cheap enough.

Graham county jail, at Clifton, Ari- zona, is unique. It comprises four large apartments hewn from the solid quartz rock of hillside. The en- trance is through a boxlike vestibule built of heavy masonry and equipped with three sets of steel gates. The floor of the rockbound jail is of cement and the prisoners are confined exclu- sively in the larger rooms. Some of the most desperate criminals on the South
 west border have been confined in the Clifton jail, and so solid and heavy are she barriers to escape that no one there

The EeOnomtst.

He purchased his wife sealskin sacque, Without hint from her, And from an explorer he bought suit Of the thickest kind Of fur. He ordered some muffs, and boas and capes, The finest that he could find. Till his friends were alarmed for his sanity They thought he had lost his mind. He lined the house with polar bear rugs, And slept upon cakes of ice; And the neighbors declared he should be
 locked up But his wife overlooked their advice. For his madness had method, as he ex-
 plained:
 We're not going to search for the pole, We're going to keep warm this winter-this

 Is cheaper than buying coal"

Clifton is one of the great cop per mining camps in Arizona, and has the reputation of being as depraved a community as yet exists on the from tier of civilization.

4 TURN IN TRADE,

This country is importing large quan- titles of iron and steel from Germany. In the first six months of 1902 Germany sent us 1,503,742 tons of iron and steel, against 994,404 tons in the like period of 1901 and 744,224 tons in 19O0 The im- portation from Germany has thus doubled in two years But while the increase in 1902 was 51.2 per cent. larger by weight than in 1901, it was but 22.7 per cent. more in value, showing that, owing to the bad economic situation, a large part of this vast bulk of exports, as Consul Mason says, has been mar keted abroad rather on the basis of a clearing out sale in which the goods were offered at whatever sacrifice might be necessary to secure their sale. The large exportation of iron and steel from Germany recently is thus more or less at q loss and is a mark of the financial stringency. German coal, coke and iron interests have just formed a combine for mutual benefit. This vast and powerful export association" says Con-

There are at least two ways of look ing at some things. An Iowa newspa- per says: This town wants more smoke. Give us more big chimneys from which the black smoke will roll in big columns day after day. Smoke is what we need to make things hum. Let us have smoke. Not that we like smoke, but we do love the busy wheels of in- dustry that are associated with the smoke making factory chimneys. Bring on the smoke!''

x Professor A. E. Wright, chief of the
 military hospital at NetIey, England. advocates inoculation against typhoid fever, adducing in it's favor statistics of the garrison at Ladysmith. The gar #rison numbered 12,2S4, of which 1,7O5 were inoculated and exposed to infec- ton from typhoid. In the period from November 2, 1899, until February 2. 1900. there were 1,4S9 cases of typhoid among those who had not been inocu- lated, and only 35 among those who had been inoculated. instead of about 25O, which would have been their due pro- portion. There were deaths among those who had been inoculated to 320 among those who had not been inocu- lated. The death rates of the two groups were respectively 047 and 3.12.

The Russian Minister of Agriculture and State Domains, M. Yermoloff, has announced that he has taken effective measures for the suppression of the sys- #tenatic poaching operations of Ameri- cans and Japanese among the seal and other sea animals on the northeastern coast of Siberia. He gives formal mo- 5tice that American and Japanese poach- CTS captured within the limits of Rus sia's maritime jurisdiction on the sibe- rian coast will be liable to three months Imprisonment, and their ships and car goes to confiscation. This order will be enforced by three fast gunboats. In case of refusal to surrender or attempt to escape the commanders of the Rus sian gunboats are empowered to fire upon and sink the "sea pirates.'

FAST WARSHIPS.

In the rivalry between France and England over the production of fast warships the former nation is well in the lead. The trial trip recently of the Chateau -Renault, one of the new French commerce destroyers, showed speed of 23.Ss knots against the wind and 24,19 with it, or mean average speed of 24.o3 knots, no mention being made of tidal influences. The Chateau Renault is of $500 tonnage, or about 1000 tons bigger than our own Colum- bia; has engines of 24,000- horsepower, and is fitted with triple screws. The English will try to outdo this. The na~ val estimates for the present year pro- vide for the construction of four ves- sels, to be. known as scouts, which, though not SO large as the French flyer, are to be armed more heavily, and are to have a speed of twenty-five knots, if it be possible to put within the hull en- zines of sufficient horsepower to ob- tain it. A peculiarity in connection with the proposed scouts is that the British Admiralty have not trusted the preparing of the plans to the govern- ment designers, but have invited the great Clyde shipbuilding concerns to submit designs and tenders for the con- struction of the vessels.
 Let the good work go on. When each nation has the fastest warships, the big gest guns and the best gunners there wont be much war.

According to the Berlin papers, insan- ity is largely increasing in the German capital Institutions for patients built a few years ago, with ample accommo- dation, are now dangerously overcrowd- ed, and urgent demands are made that additional asylums shall be built to ac- conlnnodate the ever-increasing number of the mentally inf1rn1. The large and steady increase is largely due, it is be- leved, to increasing drinking and habits of intemperance.

"Skagwav Is still on the map, and be- lieve that never will Alaskans see her Oth- erwlse," was what Col. Evans said last night ln a speech at the Y.M. C. A.
 The eolonel's speech was full of good points. He reviewed the boundary ques- ton and said that on account of his posi- tion, he could not discuss his governments actions, yet he felt firm that Skagwav would always be in the Alaskan territory and never given up.

London, March Io.-lt was announced today that General Lord Methuen and four guns had been captured by the BOers, commanded bv General Delarev. The news came like a thunderbolt to London. The extra editions Of the evening papers, giving an account of the disaster, were eagerly bought up, and bitter remarks were passed on the subject of the govern ment's declaration that the war In South Africa was over.
