all have to be taken into account
in adjusting the rate. In the case Of
blanket policies" where a heavy liza
bility is written for a three months
period, the proposition is much COM
plicated. Although the steamship
companies will exercise every care in
transporting the goods,it is never pos.
sible to guarantee the safe delivery Of
very fragile objects. Protection in
such cases will be afforded at Lloyd's
under only very stringent conditions
and at high rates of premium. AL.
though the fire hazard may be insig.
n~ificant, possibilities of breakage,
wear and tear, and careless handling
make the assumption of liability very
risky.
Many policies will be taken out in
this country, although the risks at.
tach-ng to domestic exhibits will be
less complicated owing to the better
arrangements for transportation, etc.
Some large contracts of insurance
have already been placed. The total
liability will represent an enormous
valuation.-New York Evening Post.

and 1t is only a question of selecting
the houses which they desire to be in
the union. Officers have not been
chosen to manage the combination,
but both of the Let's brothers will be
on the directorate of the company.
Since the Western Grocery company
was organized several years ago and
the National Grocery company some
time after, sales over previous years
have been increased from is to 40
per cent, Mr.. Let's said yesterday. The
retailer also has been much benefited
by the new system, he said.
There is no such a thing as a trust
in the grocery business" he continu-
ed. There cannot be. Competition
is too strong. To resist the demands
of the many trusts, such as those in
sugar. tobacco and other combinations
whose goods we handle in great guam
titles, something had to be done or
business could not be carried on with
profit. We decided upon this means
of self-preservation and we will be put
in a position now to conduct business
with the big manufacturers in a way
that will be satisfactory to all con-
cerned.
There has been much abuse of the
smaller jobber by the large and arrog-
ant dealer and it has been shown since
these combinations have been organic
ed that the business of both has been
conducted to advantage. Competition
in the grocery business always has
been strong and the margins of profit
very small, and there are a great many
evils we have to meet. This new sys-
tenn works well where it has been tried
and we predict success in future eff
forts. 1t gives the retailer a chance
to import goods at less cost than paid
before and the grocer then can offer
the low prices. There are
other advantages.
1.-THE companies are separate and
distinct as such, but will, Of course,
work together when large contracts
are made or it becomes necessary to
protect the interests of each company
by arbitrary exactions of the trusts.
The jobbing houses will be run under
the same name, but each concern will
be a branch Of the parent company
and will have it's cooperation and as
sistance at all times. In organizing
we buy the business of the stores we
want and stock can be had in the COM
pany if the owners chooses

London cable.)-The government
of New Zealand will shortly initiate
a big meat selling enterprise. Prime
Minister Seldom has cabled in re.
Spouse to an inquiry from London that
the government proposes to buy meat
in the colony and ship it direct to the

factories to kill, freeze, pack, and ship
the meat at a fixed sun per carcass.
The first depots will be established
at Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool,

The New Zealand mutton imported
into Great Britain in 1897 was valued

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
r Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, April G.-The stock market
showed a considerable degree of strength,
this morning but prices ran off ON the
GOOD news of the day, showing the cCntln-
Eed disposition of holders to realize in a
GOOD market. The disposition to realize
vas emphasized by the granting of an
anpeal to a higher court in the Southern
Tacific Injunction matter, and the indeii-
nite nostponement of the annual meeting.
Immediately after the announcement of

fine showed gains of between / and 2

a result of the late selling movement
nothing but fractions were left of these
advances and the tone at the closing was
easy and intensely dull. The decidedly
easier tone of the call money market was
also an influence in the early strength OF
the market Although the call money
market reflected a passing of che stfin-
eency of money a bad impression on sen-

Honduras and Santo Domingo are
just at present indulging in revolutions
and each instance the rebels seem TO
have the upper hand. However, these
ructions do not arouse much general
interest. President Castro only manag-
cd to hold the center of the stage be-
cause his affair involved three powers
of Europe. Revolution is a chronic con-
dition among those SO called republics
to the south of us, but this country's
policy is strictly one of hands off. 1t
will be another matter in Columbia
when the Panama canal is built, and
order Will be enforced in that partic-
ular part of the revolution belt. Santo,
Domingo, by the way, would probably
have been as prosperous and peaceful
now as Porto Rico if President Grants
plan to make it a dependency of this
country had materialized.

In Ithaca, n. Y, the typhoid cpl
dcmic is reported as over and they are
figuring up the results. Our own city
has no little interest in the Ithaca cpl
demic. as the cities are Of about the
same size and have been fellow suffer-
ers, this winter. In Ithaca, according
to the figures of the Ithaca Journal,
the total recorded cases have been ISL
and the deaths 81. Thus the number
of cases was about four times as many
as Augusta has had, this winter, but
the death rate was higher in this city,
as about 80 persons have died here of
typhoid fever during the winter. The
extent to which the Ithaca epidemic
affected Cornell University which is To-
Gated in that city is shown by the fact
that 21S of the students had the fever.
A number of these died at their homes
and are not counted in the total deaths
above.

ficials, from Mr. Shaw, from Mr.. Lar
rabee, from Mr.. Looney and from Mr.
Moulton-all respectable and worthy
citizens Of the city by the sea-" telling
what they must do to have Portland
become the State capital. With all due
respect TO these gentlemen we must
say they are engaged in the very pleas
ant diversion. of rainbow chasing.
Cumberland county, we believe, is TO
build a new court house in the next
two years and it will be a very easy
matter to arrange some rooms in it to
be called the Council chamber" and so
on, but like her old city hall they will
never be used for that purpose.
The state already has a fine capitol
building at Augusta and Augusta is q
lovely little city. 1t is likely always
to be the capital city of Maine-least-
wise the capital will never be moved
to Portland. When it is moved it will
come to Bangor. No part of the State
is increasing in business and import
ance to SO great an extent as is Ban
gor and eastern Maine. AroostCok,
Washington and other eastern counties
are to be the great ruling sections of
Maine in the coming future. we
think it nearly time for business men
of Bangor to be talking about what
they will do to become the capital of
Maine and how they shall entertain
the members of the general court
Lots of newspapers and lots of men
talk about far more useless subjects
than this. If leading citizens of Port
land are to become rainbow chasers
we might engage in the same beauti-
fully colored business over here.

''Lo. the poor Indian" etc, went out
of date some time ago. The Indian has
his grievances against the white man
and the government, but in these days
he is pretty well looked after. The
Kansas City Journal declares that the
Choctaws ard Chickasaws are the
richest people on the face of the earth,
being entitled to lands, money and
partition of funds that will make each
citizen of the nation worth at lowest
calculations $4,000 for every man, wo-
man and child on the citizen ship roll.
If present plans do not fall the
Chickasaws will be richer than that.
They will be richer per capita than the
ChoctawS, and it is not unlikely that
every Chickasaw man, woman and
child who takes care of the money, or
has it taken care of, will, when the
lands are segregated and the money
due the people paid to them, have
something in the neighborhood of $10,-
coo. That is speaking generally of the
people of the tribe. A great many
Chickasaws and Choctaws are worth
more than that now, and will be worth
much more when the final segregation
comes. But $4,000 should be the mini
mum value of Chickasaw wealth where
the interests of the citizens are proper
" protected.

SWIFT'S MAxIMS.
Rules of Success as Drawn Up by One
Who Succeeded.

Following are the maXims to regu-
late the conduct of young man who
would win success. They are drawn
up by the late G. L. Swift of Chicago,
the millionaire meat packer, who be-
gan life as poor farmers boy in Mas
sachusetts:
Don't drink.
No man, however rich, has enough
money to waste in putting on style.
The richer a man gets the more care
full he should be to keep his head level.
The man that doesn't know his bust
ness from the top clean down to the
bottom isn't any kind of business
man.
Business, religion and pleasure of the
right kind should be the only things in
life for any man.
A big head and big bank account
were never found together to the credit
of any one and never will be.
No young man is rich enough to
smoke 25 cent cigars.
Every time a man loses his temper
he loses his head, and when he loses
his head he loses several chances.
Next to knowing your own business
it's a mighty good thing to know as
much about your neighbours as pos
sible. especially if he's in the same line.
The man with the biggest title and
salary should be the biggest man in the
firm.
The best a man ever did shouldn't
be his standard for the rest of his life.
The successful men of today worked
mighty hard for what they have got;
the men of tomorrow will have to work
harder to get it away.
You can never make a big success
working for anybody else.

Quaker Philosophy.

Some men even borrow their reputa-
tons.
The fellow who is too fresh is liable
to assault.
The chronic borrower seldom pays a
man back in his own coin.
You can't say of cattle that they
should be seen and not herd.
Even diamonds made of paste will
cause woman to be stuck UP.
Some people who like hops drink
beer and others eat frogs legs.
Money sometimes goes farthest when
it is invested in postage stamps.
A reformer is generally man who
tries to convert others to his way OF
thinking.
