NEW Schedule FOR THE STATE

The Illinois state board of fire
underwriters has ordered new fire
insurance schedule for the state Of
Illinois which is creating much com
ment among persons who carry fire
insurance, and which will make much
work for the fire insurance men all
over the state and add incidentally to
their bank accounts.
The new schedule, which is said by
the insurance men to be but a revis-
ION Of the one now in vogue, is known
rs the \. +. Dean schedule. and will
probably raise rates on the ---vier
insurers.

Under the new schedule the occu-
rancy of building will have good
deal to do with the rate. Some lines
are known To be much more combusti-

under the old schedule. but it is made
much palmer under the new.
The rate that merchant will have
to pay on his stock of goods will de

nearly every case there is higher

Consent Not Secured.

If Manager Donnelly has signed
with Springfield for next season, as
the papers of that city say he has,
he has violated the terms of his con-
tract here There is a reserve clause
in his contract, as there is in that of
each of the other players on the
team. by which they can be held for
another season, and they cannot go
till the local association through the
president gives consent. No manager
can release player, much less can he
release himself. and for the Rock ISL
and players to sign with Springfield
for next year without consulting the
officers of the local association would
be a rather strange proceeding in
deed

PresbNtetIan chfonIeIIngs

At next Sabbath morning service
will be celebrated the sacrament Of
the Lord g supper All members
of the church are urged TO be
present. The evening topic will be
in keeping with the beginning Of
lent. We are glad that this season
which has proven to be such bless
ing TO another church has gained
such universal adoption among all
denominations. Our evening SER
mons from now until Easter will be
in harmony with the ecclesiastical
calendar.
This evening at 73O will occur
our usual preparatory servies. Let
us all examine ourselves in anticipa-
ton of coming to this sacred feast
instituted by our Lord and binding
upon us by his commandment.
Yesterday at p. m. was held the
first examination of the normal
course Of lessons at the home of
Mrs. Charles Mott on Hartford
street. There we're four members
of the class present and It is believed
that another examination will be
held later for the accommodation of
those who coull not be present at
that time The pastor would be
pleased to have the entire class at
least try the examination.
A new departure will be observed
next Wednesday at the prayer meet
ing service. MIR. John Q. Wallace
will conduct the opening exercises
and the pastor will then speak as
usual. This introduction of lay
assistance into this service has been
practiced in some of the city
churches with most excellent re.
suits. 1t is hoped that all the elders
and the Christian men of the cong
regation who can be induced tC
assist in this service will respond
heartily and that it may be a means
of great good for us all.
The pastor has seen the Bibles tC
be given to those who have learned
the catechism and would take this
opportunity to say that they are
we'll worth the effort that the young
people have made. They will bt
here soon and will be appropriately
presented.

The Philipplne Question

Senator Dietrich, of Nebraska, in a
speech delivered in the senate ON the
18th of February, treating of the
future welfare of the Philippine
Islands, succeeded in putting in con-
crete form the many and disjOinted
ideas which have been fructifying in
the brains of our solons ever since we
assumed the "white mans burden"
The honest seekers for the welfare
not only of the nation as it was, but
its welfare as it is, have puzzled over
this plan and that, with nothing
tangible, and only half formed pur-
poses as evidence of their intentions.
It has remained for a son of the west
to outline a policy which will solve
the problem ''what shall we do with
them?" He points out that we give
reciprocity to foreign countries and
admit, duty free, tropical products to
the amount of 5000, 900, 900, annually,
all Of which can be produced in our
tropical possessions. By giving them,
now our own people, little en-
couragement, profitable employment
would be furnished idle thousands.

The Anthracite Coal Strike Com
mission is once more holding its
meetings in Washington and is en-
deavoring to arrange and coordinate
the vast amount of testimony and
data which has been submitted
The meetings are absolutely secret,
the commissioner holding that It's
duty is to make u report containing
its findings to the president who
will make it public at his discretion
Arguing from certain chance re-
marks of the commissioners. it is
believed that one of its findings will
be to the effect that too many men
are now employed in the anthracite
region and that fower employees
and greater opportunities for earn
ing good wages should be afforded
those retained. Such a decision
would run counter to the general
principals of the labor union and
would, incidentally. serve to con-
firm the arguments Of those repub-
lican senators who have urged that
che educational qualification Of the
immigration bill be retained, with q
Wow to ourtailing the extensive

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
SCOTS sEmulsionisthemod-
ern method Of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
