tions. Speaking TO the new board OF
trustees, on the occasion of his cleo
tion to the presidency. he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than a private business, that life In
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach to a going busi-
ness which at the same time must be
administered as a trust"
He also realizes that similar respon-
sibiIities rest upon the officers Of the
company. Il understand" he says,
your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf, who are to ad-
minister for the benefit of the people
involved the multibudinous and exact
ing details to which 1t is impossible
for you to give personal attention. MY
long connection with the New York
Life--coyerlng nearly twenty years
my service in about every branch Of
the company's working organization,
gives me, as believe, profound ap
probation, not merely of the heavy
burden you have placed on my shoul
ders, but Of the standards of efficiency,
the standards of faith, the standards
Of integrity, which must be main
tanned at all times by the man who
serves you and the policyholders IN
this high oflice."
Best of all. perhaps, he feels that
words are cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short Of
performance. my thanks, therefore,
he continues, for an honor which out

What Japan May Teach.

Japan, alone among nations, has
given the world an example of how a
people can throw Off the shackles OF
an oppressive autocracy and endow
itself with all the safeguards Of liberty
and justice under constitutional form
of government, without going through
the terrible struggles and devastation
OF bloody revolutions, by following
along the paths Of peaceful evolution.
Japan Is the land Of liberty, civil and
religious. Her religious liberty 10
even far In advance OF nations who
pride themselves upon this most pre-
cious Of national virtues. Her people
have no preiudices based upon reli-
gious or ecclesiastical grounds, and all
men Of every church and creed are
FREQ and equal to worship their God
III accordance with the dictates Of
their own conscience In the fullest and
widest acceptation Of the meaning
OF religious liberty. Japan which has
learned much from the west, has even
more to teach the west, declares Os-
car Straus, secretary Of commerce and
labor, in Leslie's. Persistency, self
control and preparedness are among
her national qualities; her officers ex-
emplify the highest skill united with
the utmost patriotism; her soldiers.

riiiclng their own lives. are uniformly

nation is served by more competent
diplomatic body-men Of reliability.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste OF varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality OF the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great

The extraordinary popularity Of fine

choice of Starch matter of great inn

from all injurious chemicals, is. the

GOSSIP,

The death of Ezra Sutton a few
days ago in a private hospital near
Boston removed from the scene of his
t..iumphs on the baseball field one
more Of the veteran players who
helped make the national pastime fa-
nous in its younger days. Sutton was
one OF the first and best third base
men of quarter of a century ago,
and attracted attention first while
playing on the old Forest City team
of Cleveland in the early '70s. His
greatest reputation was won, however,
on the Boston National league team
from 1877 to 1888, for which he played
third base uninterruptedly during that
period Of II years. Sutton was a ma
tive Of New York state and was 81
years old when he died. For the last
Xix years the veteran player had been
a victim of locomotor ataxia and a
great sufferer. Only a fortnight be-
fore his death he expressed a desire
to see another baseball game before
his death, a desire which it was inn
possible to grant. One fact is inn
pressed by the death of Sutton which
has bearing on the old argument
whether there are more stars to-day
than quarter Of a century ago. That
is the infrequency with which the
death OF star of rs years ago is
chronlcled compared to what will hap
pen when the present active genera
tion of baseball players near the three
score year mark. While the veterans
of rs years ago who left their mark
on the game and in the memories Of
the fans drop off now and then and
recall the days Of their prowess infre-
quently, there will come a time when
to-day's ball players will be called to
account for their earthly deeds. Then
there will be a decision of the old
argument. There may not be greater
stars on the diamond to-day than
there were years ago, but there are
more of them that will require obit-
uary notices of extensive length when
they are taken away.
