A NEW SHINY LEATHER.

It is impossible to get a vanished leather that will be flexible under all conditions. because the baking neces- sary to dry 1t hardens it. and when the leather is stretched above a certain point the finish is bound to crack. and when the cold strikes il. it is sure to check and crack badly. The best patent leather that has ever been made will give more or less trouble. at times go- ing through the factory. and still more trouble in wearing.
 Another great difficulty met with in the manufacture of patent leather Is the fact that it is impossible to get an absolutely uniform finish. The hides or skins vary a great deal in fineness of the grain. a fine grained skin requir- ing very much less material than the coarse grain. The workmen. not know ing about this. or in many cases not caring. often put a great deal more on the fine grained skins than Is neces- sary. and frequently much less on the coarse grained ones than they require. and in vanishing they do the same thing
 It is now said that new process has been invented which will overcome these objections by getting rid of the three processes. vanishing. baking and summing. Leather made in this way. is said to be as soft as kid. as bright as patent leather, and will hold its finish much longer and better.
 The grain is flexible and strong be- cause 1t has not been baked. and it has all of the natural strength and fiber that any unfinished leather would have | consequently adding a great deal to It's wearing qualities. In the severcst tests that 1t could possibly be put to in sho, factories. in wearing. and in cold tests it has in every instance come out with out checks or crack under any con- ditions.
 This leather can be made in black and in colors as we'll The advantage ir making colored shoes of this finish Is
 that 1t requires no special care fin go- ing through the factory. for if they are soiled in making they can bs cleaned as easily as patent leather. the shoes do not change color in wearing and it Is more easily cleaned than the | ordinary colored leather.
 While this is a bright leather-a: bright as patent ieather-it cannot bs called patent because 1t is not var nished The finish is so thin that fl leaves a beautiful grain effect. much handsomer than can be obtained in any vanished leather.-Shoe Retailer.

s1OO,000 will be subscribed for. The purchaser of each share will con- tribute sl5 to the surplus, for this company does not intend to begin do- ing business with no money to meet obligations. All premiums must be reserved for a year or two, of-untiI the company begins to earn rrc- miums.
 No stock will be sold to anyone who cannot take insurance himself in the company or induce some me else to do so. In this way a tre- mendous amount of insurance will be written and nothing paid out for commissions In this way botn stock holders and policy holders will be protected as they were never pro- tected in the Notation of any other insurance company.
 The constant complaint on the part of Arizona people is that most of the money they pay out for insurance goes east and is never returned to the territory No such complaint can be made about the Citizens Life X Casualty company, for 1t is to be strictly an Arizona corporation. Its. stock is to be sold only in this ter: ritory and its money will stay in Arizona Insurance, however. will be written in other parts of the eoun- try Agencies will be established at all territorial points where there is business enough to justify thenI and gradually the company's field of op- erations will be extended.

THE REAL WEsTERNERs.
Who Are to Be Found In the Distant
 State of Washington.

canvass of the registration books of Wenatchee for the year 1910 shows the singular fact that of HOO names on the books but 14 were natives of this state. says the Seattle POst-Intel- ligencer. The majority of the voters were from the middle west, Iowa lead ing in number. but probably every state in the union was represented in the list.
 The situation in Wenatchee differs but in degree from that presented in every other city and town in the state The great majority of the voters of this state are persons born in other states and who. indeed, immigrated hither since manhood. According to the census returns considerably more than half of the present population of this state has come hither within the past ten years. and of these by far the greatest number of persons were of mature years.
 An examination of the registration books of this city will disclose the fact that every state in the union is repre- scented here. not by a few scattering individuals, but by thousands of sons. While it is true here, as in Wenatchee that the middle west has contributed most largely to the population of the most loyal and devoted citizens that Seattle has. men who are fully i'm bued with what are called western" ideas. are natives of the states along the Atlantic seaboard. educated in their home states. who came here af- ter growing to full manhood and who have become ''westerners" in spirit merely because they have shaken off some of the provincialisms of their native states and have become simply and fully Americanized
 Washingtons ''westernism." is truly Americanism. It is the composite spirit of natives of all of the states in the union. who here and by attrition with each other have rid themselves of their original local peculiarities, prejudices and provincialisms until a close approach to a common standard has been reached. and that standard is the American one

 LIFE INSURANCE co.
CITIZENS LIFE & CASUALTY co.

Has a Capital Stock of $100 900 and Will Begin Business With Sur
 plus of $150,0O0.

Articles of incorporation for the Citizens Life & Casualty company which is to be distinctly an Arizona organization. writing life. accident and health insurance. were filed yes terday with the county recorder. This company has strong backing and will be ready to commence the active so- licitation of business in about four months. It will start its career with surplus of $150,0O0 and insurance of more than half a million dollars, the policy holders being obtained by the stockholders without cost to the company This will cut the cost of promotion in half.
 Several prominent Arizona citizens of large means are behind the Cit izens Life & Casualty company It is understood that the directors men, tioned in the articles of incorpora- ton are not interested in the concern and that a new directorate will be elected in two or three days. A man ager of fifteen years experience in the life insurance business will be employed. His name. however. has not been made public.
 The articles are not different from those of any other modern insurance company designed to do the char acter of business which the Citizens company will carry on. There are several unique features connected with the organization and the con cern's plan of doing business. how ever. The most unique feature-and the one which will appeal most tO the stockholders-is that the money they pay for their shares and to make up the surplus will be banked in the places at which 1t is paid. The stockholders in each city or town in the territory will be permit ted to designate the depository in which the funds are to be placed.
 Another unusual feature is that all the stock will be sold at one price ten dollars a share. The organizers will pay as much for their stock as will the last subscriber. There is to be no ground floor" Usually the stock of a new company is started at a low figure and advanced as time goes on.
 Among the organizers Is one of the leading eattlemen of Arizona Several prominent local citizens are also i'm terested.
 The sale of stock is to be directed by W. A. Gordon, who was so sue cessful in placing the stock of the Arizona Fire Insurance company up on the market. He will begin his campaign immediately after a per manent board of directors is choseT and is confident that within four months the entire capital stock oi

THE SCHOOL BOY IN INDIA.

The school hours in India are long and tedious. In order to walk the
 many miles from home to school and
 reach there in time. the Indian boy
 is frequently compelled to start at 4 o'clock in the morning. often before daylight, and without eating any
 breakfast. School begins at o'clock in the morning and closes at A.
 Usually no time is allowed for recess, and there is no noon hour. Some times, however. the boys are allowed fifteen minutes to eat their pitifully poor luncheon. consisting of a hand ful of parched rice or corn. They go without breakfast in summer and in winter they eat no lunch. There is no playground attached to the school. Indeed, the serious. sad faces of the young lads would lead one to be- lieve that the boys of India never en- joy any pleasant relaxation. All their exercise is gained while walk ing to school or while doing the chores at home. before and after school This kind of exercise does not afford much fun to growing boys. At night the little fellows are too tired to play, and. besides. they are forced to study by the flickering light of the mustard-Oil lamp. for, if they do not have their lessons per fectly learned the next day the teach CT will punish them severely. Pun ishment in India is no joking matter. The boys are made to squat. fold their arms under their knees from the back. reach up and pull their own ears. This punishment is especially severe. Frequently the boys are caned. They are compelled to bend over with their hands on their knees while the teacher beats them across the back with a cane or stick-Saint Nihil Singh in Southern Workman.

There is little danger of prices reaching the low level they did just prior to 1896. or of a renewal of the demand for cheap money" It will take some years to ascertain whether there is to be a decline in gold output from the high level of the last decade. and. as a consequence welcome decrease in the high cost of living.

Breaks Jail, But
 Is Scon Caught
New Britain Man Gets Out of Hartford Institution in a
 Clever Manner

New Britain, Oct 3O--Three hours after he escaped from the Hartford county jail, on Seyms street, Hartford, Steve Partyka was captured here and returned to that institution. Accord ing to the story told by Partyka, he placed a hand between his cell door and the jam when the doors on his tier were locked Saturday night and the failure of the door to close pre- vented the secondary locking device from working, the bar failing to slip into it's customary groove.
 Partyka waited until 1 o'clock Sun day morning and then quietly opening his cell door, went down the corridor and bent the bars of a window so as to allow him to pass through and with the aid of curtain cords lowered him. self to the ground and walked to this city. On his arrivel here he broke into the factory of Landers, Frary &, Clark, where he was employed previ- ous to being sent to jail and secured an oyercoat and a pair of overalls, which he had left there. From the factory he started for his home. but was met by Captain Grace, of the police force, who recognized him and locked him up. When asked who helped him break out of jail he said: God helped me escape"
 He was sentenced to jail for the theft Of a handbook and the securing from the bank of $125 which the book called for.

FATHER CROWLEY BARS
 BRIDAL RICE SHOWERS
Former Bridgeport Priest Tells New London Congregation It's Dan-

New London, Oct 30-There will be no more rice shower on bridal couples leaving St. Marys Roman Catholic of which the Rev. Timothy M. Crowley is pastor.
 One day last week as bride and bridegroom stepped out of the edifice fully ten pounds of rice were hurled at them by their enthusiastic relatives and friends. The incident was evil dently the last straw that led to Father Crowley's spirited remarks at g. o'clock mass Sunday morning.
 "I do not know where this custom originated, said the priest, "but I am fully convinced that the practice of hurIing avalanclles of rice at couples just married is dangerous and the
 Father Crowley also gave his large congregation to understand that un- der orders from his superiors he would be very strict hereafter on mixed mar ridges.

Should a Catholic person wish to marry one of another creed the latter must under go course of instruction before mar riage. and the religious education of offspring must also be taken into consideration.

GOVERNOR IS SILENT. Not Much Likelihood of Extra Legis- lature Just Now.

New Haven. Oct. 30.-There was a rumor circulating last night to the effect that Governor Baldwin might very soon call an extra session of the legislature. as he had suggested, to act upon the redistricting of the sem atorial districts of the state. When asked if the report was true, the chief executive almost ssmothered his an- swer in a chuckle as he said: Now do you think I would really com municate that fact to you, if I were ?"
 When the bill redistricting the con- gressional districts passed the fast legislature Governor Baldwin stated in message to the general assem- bly that he should feel it his duty to call an extra session to act on his plans to change the senatorial dis tricts in case no action was taken at the regular session.
 Executive Secretary Edwin s. Thomas when asked last night said he thought the governor had no in teEticn of calling an immediate ses- sion of the legislature, but that one might be called some time in the early part of 1912. We've had enough legislature for while, at least,' he said.

THE STOCK MARKET
fWatson. Alpers & Col

Pessimism continues to be the rule in Wall Street in spite of the prospect of prolonged ease in money; the har- vesting of good average crops which are commanding prices that will equalize the total money value with that of the larger yields of 1910 (cot- ton, of course, being much in excess of last years production but selling at materially lower figures); the splen did state of our overseas commerce and the indications of business i'm provement to be found in bank clear ances and aggregate railroad earn ings. !. The reason rests where it has rested for long time back: in the political situation and the hostile at titude of the Government toward capital and corporations. Prices for American securities are down to level that has always paid rewards to investment purchases in the past and the fundamental state of business and finanee in the United States is sound. The extremes of antitrust prosecu- tions to which the Administration has gone will tend to crystalize the whole problem for the Nation to determine as it must some day.
