Insurance 0n Babe.

Boston, Mass, Oct. "a. In or
der that ample preparations may
be made for the visit of the storlx
i'll any household, and to make
such calls welcome, prominent
men and women of this city, not
ed for their work along the line
Of advancement Of their sex, have
incorporated the American Birth
Insurance Go.
By taking advantage of this
unique scheme, mother, after
payment of an initiation fee and
certain monthly dues, may at the
birth Of each child receive from
5000 to $500.
Business will be begun BY the
company as soon ais the names of
500 members are filed with the
commissioner of insurance, to-
gether with dues of $3 each. 1t is
said that the requisite number of
members has been secured.
The president Of the American
Birth Insurance Co. is Mrs. Es-
telle Merrill, of Boston, and sec
rotary and treasurer, Miss Emma
Menter.
On the advisory board are Miss
Mary A. Livermore, who is so.

ment if a living child is born the
mother receives $500; after the
nineteenth, $500; after The twen-

months must elapse between the
birth of each child in any one

The great object as expressed
by the president and in It's litera-
ture is to regulate the birth as far

MOnan's Influence.

Yes, Joseph Folk, the man who
has beaten boodleism in ST.
Louis, is great man.
But there is an element that has
cropped out of the Doodle cases,
says the Atlanta Journal, that
shows more strength for food
than a thousand Joe Folks.
Charles r. Kelley, boodlel,
made such humiliating confess
sion that one. would think that
never again could he walk before
the eyes of honest men. He was
a cold bIooded robber for years,
and now be says: I could no
longer remain silent. My wife
urged me to make a full confess
sion and attempt to undo the
harm | have done. The power
of a good woman againl Ii has
been shown in half a dozen of the
Doodle cases.
Woman's love is stronger than
the affection of men, purer and
holier.. The man comes to her.
His face is haggard aud his eyes
troubled. There is that in his
breast that has been eating for
years the knowledge that he is
a scoundrel. Harder than all
else, more terrible than peniten-
tiary sentence, is his task to look
into her face and tell her that
the man she loves is unworthy.
That is what Charles Kelley
had to do, and what his wife did
is what women do in the great
majority of cases. She forgaye
and then arrayed herself on the
side of right. She was willing to
remain the wife of a penitent
thief; to share the ignominy and
scoln that will follow him all of
his days; to endure privation and
suffering all to make her hus-
band an honest man again.
Don't imagine that women do
not appreciate the gravity of
crimes such as were committed
by Kelley and his associates.
They do. They hate wrong as
man does not know how to hate
it. They love virtue as mans
nature prohibits his loving it.
The man who confesses that
he is a thief to his wife would in
dict less physical and mental ago
ny did he stab her in the heart.
But they also love, and loving
they forgive, and forgiving they
endure, and the cause of right
finds powerful ally wherever a
good woman is found.
Joseph Folk has done much to
discourage crime. The good
wives of men who hive gone
wong have done more.

Burton Holmes, the lecturer,

on agreement could not be reached, and
they were accordingly discharged. on
the first ballot there were five for a YER

the others were divided between murder
