among them.

Various conjectures are current ms
to the cause of the fire. Some at

Yes. | believe ! ought to say, now
that there is no political excitement
to distract the public attention. that
the president Of the New York Life
was not the only such contributor. The
officers Of other great life insurance
companies. such as the Equitable and
the Mutual. also contributed from the
policyholderS' funds for campaign
purposes last year. What has been
proved in the case of the New York
Life will undoubtedly he proved in
the other cases. The facts exist, and
honest and able counsel backed by an
honest committee will undoubtedly
bring them out for the public good.
Also the Other Corporations.
Were there an investigation of rail

poration it would be found that these

only corporation officers who put their

Dr. Hale Describes His Position in a
 Town and his Duties.
 It was my fortunesin early life to en- joy the personal friendship of some of our older ministers, who preserved the professional the professional tradi- tions, writes Edward Everett Hale in the Christian Register. Times have changed So that many of the old Esaws and customs cannot be adopted now as rules of conduct, even if men wanted rules from another generation, but all of them give indication of what those days were. I am speaking to-day especially of the lives of Massachu- setts men.
 Let it be remembered that till 1881 a settled clergyman in Massachusetts belonged to what the late Joseph Allen called, with great precision, peerage, Unto which noblemen were received for life. Precisely similar is the position I of French Senator under the French Constitution of to-day; that is to say, | if a man was settled as the minister | of New England church, and no special provision was made to the contrary, he was settled for life. This meant that what was considered a lcomptent salary was assingned to him The town had a contract with him for the annual payment of tl..t salary, and no one but a council of the churches could not turn him out ex- cepting for visible immortality, to be Iproyed on trial.
 Of such men who were ordained be- \ fore the year 1900 I have seen two or three, and I have heard their stories of their early life. My own grand father, Enoch Hale, who died in the year 1887, was one of them. He was settled as minister of Northampton in | Massachusetts, think in the year IT'S. He was minister of the same par ish when he died, having been in the ministry of that parish fifty-nine
 years. do not think that census of
 the town ever recorded more than HOO inhabitants. --
 The earliest census, that of 1790, gave nothing like that population. For
 those years practically the Congrega-
 tional Church was the only Church.
 Practically, therefore, he was the re- lligious and moral supervisor of every
 person who resided in that town. It
 was his duty every day to bear in mind Imore or less the condition of every Ihousehold in the town. His parish
 visits from house to house were, strick-
 ly speaking, not simply a friendly call lof one neighbor upon another. do not suppose he thought of it, but in point iof fact it was his personal duty to lknow how each household was getting Ion. For every man who paid tax in ithe town oW Westhampton contributed
