Commissioner of immigration.

The Washington correspondent OF. the
Boston Transcript sends his paper the
following which will especially interest
our readers:
IAN impending change of interest to
the seacoast is that in the office of the
commissioner of immigration, where Eu-
gene T. Chamberlain may not hold on
throughout the Taft administration
Mr.. Chamberlain came in under Cleve-
land and is an efficient man-but Taft
suffers from the usual pressure for place,
and in time is expected to yield this con-
genial position to someone closer to him."
And the Montpelier Journal adds the
following comment which Mr.. Husbands
many friends can most cordially endorse:
If there is a vacancy in any impor-
tant immigration Office Vermont could
furnish most worthy and efficient can
didate in the person Of Walter w. Hus-
band. Mr.. Husband, secretary of the
Immigration Commission, is recognized
in Congress as an authority on matters
relating to immigration. He has made
good, most decidedly, and when chance
OF promotion comes it should go to such
a man as Mr. Husband rather than to
some politician who has no real knowl-
edge of the subject"

Death of Mr.. CurtiSS,

John Barney Curtiss, of Oak Park, ILL.,.
died at st, Luke's hospital, in that city
Tuesday, July 81, following a surgical
operation. Mr.. Curtiss was born in St.
Johnsbury, sixty-seven years ago. AT
the outbreak. of the civil war he enlisted
in the Thirteenth Massachusetts infan.
try. He took part in all the campaigns
OF the army of the Potomac, serving with
credit until the close of the war, soon
after which he moved west, where he has
since lived. During the past few years
he has made his home with his sister,
Mrs. George Chandler, in Oak Park. By
his kind disposition and gentle manners
he made many friends and the courage
he displayed in facing the hopeless disease
that caused his death won him the ad-
miration and sympathy of all who knew
of his fortitude. The funeral was at the
Soldiers home in Milwaukee, July 20.

INSURANCE FOR THE POOR.
President of Prominent Society Tells
of New Plan at a Dinner.

OF New Plan at Dinner.
A prominent life assurance society
closed three days convention with a
dinner at the Waldorf hotel in New
York the other night, at which 900 Off
cials and agents were present. The
president of the society presided. In
his address of welcome he spoke brief
ly of a departure in life insurance
which his society hopes to take up
namely, a system by means of which
poor people may be able to own their
own homes. In referring to the new
scheme the president said:
1t Is our intention If 1t can be worked
out-and we have no doubt that It can
be-so to arrange that men and women
OF moderate means with only their daily
or monthly wage, which in the majority
OF cases Is so small as to preclude their
accommodating a great competence, may
by the means Of life insurance as prac-
tlced by the society purchase their own
homes and by series of small monthly
payments provide their own roofs for
their families while at the same time they
provide against the loss of their homes
in the event of early death.
insurance by the state Is neither desir-
able nor necessary In this land Of the
greatest life insurance corporations the
world has ever known. There is no work
OF more Importance. no service of higher
merit, to be performed than that the one
or these great companies of the United
States which has done most In the extern
sion OF life insurance should take the
lead In this honorable work In no other
way can 1t so justify it's mission and
render better account of itself than by
pioneering in this field. Therefore | am
prepared to announce to you that we are
carefully considering and. unless prevent
ed by the powers that be or obstacles not
now seen, the future Of the society will
embrace this very important work.
