EQUITABLE SALARIES.

.nNB of the most generous insti-
- tutions In America. so far as the
treatment Of its onicers IS concerned.
is the Equitable Assurance Society.
There seems TO he no end to the story
Of the methods employed to get money
out OF the treasury and into individual
pockets.
Young Mr. Hyde a few years out of
college. had his services valued at
100000 and the president got as much.
1t seems that Mr.. Depew recommended
it, and the Senator himself drew as a
professional retainer $4,000 annually,
in addition to his salary as director.
When the fonmer president OF the
company died. the directors paid his
widow $4,000 a year. just out Of good
nature, and have been paying it ever
since. The salary of a director who Is
dead is paid to his widow, and so II
goes.
And this money belonged 10 the
policyholders and the officers were
merely their agents and trustees
Under such circumstances we cannot
see that the situation Of the Equitable
/ is troublesome or complex. The officers
should be compelled TO make restltu-
tion Of funds illegally diverted or 60

Of "frenzied finance" that is like goine

Some time ago the Mount Vernon
Ladies' Association purchased a chair
that had formerly belonged to General
Washington. The chair was purchased
from Colonel Andrew jackson, Of
Nashville, Tenn, and the price paid
for it was $500, large enough, in all
good conscience. but some imaginative
newspaper correspondents magnified
the price to $500. AS the Mount YER
non Ladies' Association has only one
object in view, and that a very praise
worthy one. TO collect and preserve at
General Washington's old home every
thing connected with the Father of His
Country, II looks as if those who hap
pen to own any such relic could wen
afford to give them to the association,
Instead of exacting an exorbitant
lprice.
The chair i'm question was left by
General Washington to DR.. Craik, his
physician. and descended to Colonel
Jackson. The only value the chair
has is because It had belonged to Cen
ieral Washington. and to demand $500
from the Ladies' Association is GER
tainly high enough without the asso-
citation being placed in the light OF
having paid $500

OF THE QUARANTINE.
Bananas and Oranges Hard to Get

The effect OF the quarantine is be-
ing felt by the local fruit commits

that it is almost impossible to pro-
cure oranges at any price now. both
from the earliness of the season and
the quarantine through the south.
Most of the bananas come from Brit.
ish Honduras and Central America.
Shipments from these points are

quently makes the fruit unfit for

given by the local dealers for
bananas is about two and quarter
cents a pound but now the price has
gone to two and three-fourths cents
pound and they are hard to get at
that price Lemons usually are
bought at $3.50 a box, but they, like
the other fruit, are being bought by
the dealers at 81 box, one of the
highest prices paid for fruit in many
years. The oranges, from the earli-
ness of the year, have jumped from
$3.50 a box to $3.50. The home
grown fruits are plentiful this year
but on account of the rains are of an
inferior class, and the dealers look
forward to hard times even in home
grown fruit this fall. Cities all over
the United States are feeling the ad-
vance in prices and the scarcity OF
fruit and the fruit vendors who
usually parade the streets are fast
disappearing.

WATTERSON DECLINES.

Hon. Henry Watterson. of Louis
Vile. lately mentioned in connection
with the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination, is out in a statement
that he would not think of making
the race, and adds gratuitiously that
he sses little prospect of uniting the
factions of Kentucky democracy
This statement created little surprise
among politicians, as Col. Waiter
son has been in politics too long to
measure swords with the machine.
He authorized the following in the
Louisville Herald:

at no time given anyone reason to
surmlse that would take office
Three years ago when | was asked ii

nation for governor, ! answered that
! would make almost any sacrifice
to unite the party and restore nor
NAL conditions in the state.
LAS soon as | ascertained that a
nomination for governor involved a
contest | at once made public the
declaration that under no cream
stances would ! enter into such
contest. | am at loss, therefore,
TO understand how anybody can sup
pose me 10 have changed my mind.
There seems to be no likelihood OF
restoring harmony TO the party in
Kentucky, either through me or any
body else, and therefore neither duty
nor inclination lays any pressure
upon me.
Under no circumstances would
accept the office, far less than en-
gage in struggle for the nomina-
ton. | have already a life Office
which pays me better and suits me
better, and | have not the remotest
idea OF giving that over for anything
else.

tween Senator Blackburn and Gov.
