It looks now as though the Monroe doctrine of blessed memory were go- ing to leave the United States with couple more South American found- lings on its doorstep says Washing ton correspondent. -Advices to the state department indicate that marines have been landed at Ceibu and TrujillO in Honduras. either to protect American property, or as is more likely to pre- vent any foreign government taking q similar step, The war between Honduras and Nicaragua is of no great interest to the outside world. It has something to do with bound ary line and that is about all that any one has gathered of it. But there have been threats of footing, prompt ed doubtless by interested govern ments abroad and this government, in it's role of elder brother to the re- publics of the south, is expected 10 play policeman. It was reported that promise had been given by the Nicaraguan government to turn over the first important city captured in Honduras to loot and pillage by the soldiery. This was so utterly at va riance with the modern practice of civilized nations that Minister Corea of Nicaragua hastened to the state department to contradict il as soon as it was started. The explanation of the story was simple. It might have come either from the one foreign gov ernment that is always looking for an excuse to land forces on south American soil to see how far we will % in making good the Monroe doe Urine. or it might have been circulated by any two or three continental pow CTS having large commercial interests in Honduras. and wanting to see the place we'll policed by the United States without the expense of doing il themselves. There is really no thought of serious complications fol- lowing the Honduras-Nicara em- brogIio. It is generally understood that as soon as one side or the other wins anything like a decisive victory. the good offices of this country and Mexico will he offered and that one or the other of them will be accepted. II is thought that this country will manage to have Mexico selected as the arbitrator as it will relieve the monotOny of American intervention somewhat. and will be equally if not more acceptable to the warming states and to the rest of south Amer. ica. It will be good training for Mexico. and she is not likely to I,e aecused of uIterior motives hy any outside parties

Employees of forty-two western railroads with annual payrolls of nearly $30O.UOO,OO0 will complete d strike ballot this week. Some of the union leaders are urging the men to reject increases exceeding ten per cent and other concessions already made by the carriers. The railroad managers claim that the demands of the men are unreasonable in tue ex- treme and it is not believed that the public would tolerate a strike at the present time in view of the very lib- eral concessions which have been made to the men in recent months. The Brotherhood of Railway train men and the Brotherhood of Railway conductors have rejected offers of in- creases which amount to about 10.o per cent, in addition to the higher wages ranging from F to 15 per cent, granted three years ago. The roads represented in the recent con ference in Chicago, including Union and Southern Pacific, the Atchison, Burlington. Northwest, St Paul, llli- nois Central, Rock Island. and others, offered a 10 per cent increase in the freight service, which means pracu- cally an increase of from 15 to IS per cent in helper and construction train service. notwithstanding 15 per cent increase in 1903 to the same men,

LIFE INSURANCE.
What the Metropolitan is Doing for
 Policy Holders.

For some time past corporations and great tiduciary institutions-all organizations controlling or holding vast sums of money-have been the chief objects of public attention. Honest men have welcomed this man. ifestation of public interest in the problems created by modern methods of conducting enormous enterprises. Clear-headed men realize at the same time that some of the institu- tions made prominent hy their far reaching operations aud intimate re- lations with the public, are conduct ed by men of the highest integrity and are performing public service of incalculable value. 't.
 The great Metropolitan Life Insur- ance company of New York. is com ing more and more 10 he recognized as an institution whose attitude to- ward the public is nearer to that of generous philanthropist than an op- pressive capitalist. This company conducts the business of insurance in way that can be understood by the ordinary citizen. 1t estimates in the light of universal experience and expert knowledge the actual cost of insuring a life under given conditions. eXacts legitimate premium based upon cost. writes policy as definite and clear as the simplest business contract. and then PAYS every dol lar the beneficiary expects or hopes
 to receive.
 It has been made known in the latest published statements of the Metropolitan Life that all full-life policy holders in the Industrial de- partment who reached the. age of I5 in 1906. and all who reach that age in 1907. are to have their policies con tlnued for life without further pay ment of premiums. It is further pro vided that any one holding Il full life Industrial policy which has been in force fifteen years will at the age of 50 receive the amount of the policy lin cash.
 Further concessions made by the Metropolitan Life during 1908 affect their younger policy-holders. and have taken the shape of voluntary cash dividends upon Industrial policies dividends not promised nor implied in the policies. not hargained for. hoped for. or expected by those who receive them. This is an item of something like two millions of dollars. making the total voluntary conces- sions during the year more than three millions.

and afterward transferred to Auburn. Pardoned by Governor Hughes at the request of Mrs. Booth, Flaherty left Auburn prison. and when he reached Albany his first thought was to tele- graph the little mother" that he was on his way to Hope Hall, Rockland county.
 He was frightened by the noise of the elevated railroad. Then he stared speechlessly at the speeding automo- piles, and finally when one of the high est skyscrapers was reached and he was told to look up he gave one glance, then covered his eyes with his hands. Flaherty brought along cage of his pet canary birds and an old dog. blind in one eye, and he was more solicitous of them than of himself.
