There are sa id to be agents of the vari ons Republican Presidential candidates in-the South fixing up the negro delega tions to the national convention. Population in Georgia is shifting. Sev eral hundred negroes will sail from Sa vannah in a short time for Africa, while thouss?ids of Westerners are crowding into the Empire State of the South. It seems that the National Association of Manufacturers, which was supposed to be a business organization, is in reality only a cog in the machinery that is being used in the attempt to make McKinley President and to revive McKinleyism. It-looks now as if the Venezuelan mat ter is to be settled peaceably by arbitra tion, and to the satisfaction of the three government concerned. This is the proper^ way, ".and should always govern disputes between England and America. "A man does not have to have any oen8e to grow cotton," was the reason given the Augusta Chronicle in answer to the question i "Why do so many far mers plant cotton in the face of continued advice from the press, and of their own experience?" '-: The results- of the past year should con vince the planters that a short crop of cotton givostbem as much money as a large one, besides the glory of having bams and larders filled to overflowing with the gp jd things of this world. Short cotton crops are the things to make the. country flourish like 3 green bay tree. -? ?><?? . <*' '-. At a meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee of Pennsylvania last week a resolution was unanimously ' adopted, reoommending that the Democ racy pf-that State present to the National Democratic Convention the name of ex Gov. Robert E. Pnttison as that of a strong and available candidate for the Presi dency. i> ? ? What is the matter with Massachusetts? Female tramps are becoming so numer ous that there is a bill before the L?gis lature putting tbem ou a par with the male tramps. The new woman ofthat State has been- cl amoring for sometime to be put on a par with her pa and other masouliue folks, but the indications are that the female tramp will get ahead of her in the par business. At a meeting of the Railroad Passenger Agents in Florida last week it was agreed to give the Confederate Veterans a rate of one cent a mile from all points to their grand reunion of Veterans at Richmond, Ve., next June. This will insure a large attendance and the old Veterans will have a royal time. The citizens of Richmond have already began work , to make the occaaion a big success and they will not fail to do so. _ ^At last there is promise of Congress doing the right thing and granting bellig erent rights to the struggling Cubans. They have made a gallant fight,, and only a friendly hand is needed now to give them freedom from the cruel oppression of Spain. The United States ought to give it, and we believe it wilL When 40,000 patriots, illy armed and poorly equipped icrevery way for war, stand up for months agaiust 150,000 of the best sol diers of Spain, led by her most exper ienced generals, and drive them into the fortified cities, there is something in their cause that should appeal to the sense of justice of every man who denies "the right divine of kings to govern wrong " Col. Albert E. Boone, the railway path finder, who. has undertaken to complete to the sea the Blue Ridge scheme of Cal fcoun, is now preparing to move upon the work in Gaoigia. H is first step is to se cure a loyal associate as general counsel for the Black Diamond system in Geor gia, which is to be known as the Oliver , River, Augusta and Tidewater Railway Company. This position he has tendered ~" to .our fellcw-townsman, J. L. Tribble, Esq., and we are authorized to announce his acceptance. Mr. Tribble first met Col. Boonsjast November at a railroad confer,a?ee in Knoa;ville, Tenn., and from^this meeting and correspondence .^car/ied on since then so endeared Col. "S?obneto Mr. Tribbla, that from these associations this position of honor bat been tendered to the latter. The work done by Col. Boone' i.n Tennessee since list July baa been stupendous, ho we are informed. One hundred and twentj miles of main line tind the Knoxville belt of twenty-nine miles will be ready for construction by the 1st of next April. By that time, it is said, all rights of wa\ will have been closed up, and that tret of cost to the Railway Company. The expenseof preparing i:ho two franchisee in Tennessee has cost about ?50,000, all ot which has been advanced to Col. Booot by the county of Knox and the city ot Knoxville, Tenn, Col. Boone does not posa as a railroad man, but some one has: suggested that the title of railroad mis sionary would be more fitting. Every one who has ever been brought person ally in contact wl tb Col. Boone goes away impressed with the man's honesty and his ability to succeed where others fail. Hon. Hugh J, Jewett, ex-member ot Congress from the Zanesville, Ohio, Dis trict, and whilst President of the Erie Railway system, said of Col. Boone : "I look upon Col. Boone as the ablest rail road projector in the United States, and had I a railroad to build Col. Boone wonld be the first of all the .men I know of 1 -wr-wouI9Tcall upon to do the work." Col. Boone waa born at Dayton, O., and is now '"'"iri hie 51st year. He isa man of fine physique, weighs 280 pounds and is per fectly temperate in all o;f his habits. Gen. Bosser to Lecture in Anderson. - Gen. Thos. L. Rosser, one of the most gallant Confederate officers, will deliv er a lecture at the Opera House in this city on Wednesday evening, 26th inst., and we feel. sure it will com mand the atten tion of all interested in the memories and sacrifices of the Confederate States. He is not on a lecturing tour for his own benefit, but is helping to raise a fund for the erection of a Confederate "battle abbey," in response to the liberal gift of Mr. Chas,B. Rouse, of New York, who ' was a brave soldier in Rosser* s division of cavalry. He comes to Anderson by invitation from the Camp of United Con federate Veterans, and will no doubt be greeted Jby a large andience. The admis sion price i?t 35 cents for reserved seats ; gallery, 25 cents. Gen. Roaser has delivered this lecture in a number of cities throughout the South, and has been received with much enthusiasm and crowded houses By the use of a etereopticon be gives excellent pictures of prominent men on both sides and. some of the principal engagements. The battles are shown upon immense maps and charts, in which the position of each army. and division is designated. Fort Sumter, Manassas, Sharpsburg, Tr?vilian'sy Seven Pines, Gettysburg, Spottsylvania, Frederickuburg and Pe tersburg are among tho illustrations, while the portraits include Jefferson Davis, Abraham Lincoln, R. E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Beauregard, Hamp ton, Stuart, Grant, McClellan, Hancock and a number of others. The Charleston Evening Post sayB that General Rosser is now 57 years of age, is large, well-preserved, hearty and of com manding figure. He is by profession a civil engineer, and entered tbe Confederate army at 22 years of age. His first service was in North Carolina, and in construct ing the fortifications at Fort Macon. He entered the service as a first lieutenant of artillery, was elected captain of the fa mous "Washington Artillery of New Or leans, which he commanded in the first battle of Manassas, and then rose to lieu tenant-colonel of artillery. In 1862, we find him a colonel of cavalry, in 1863 a brigadier-general, and in the fall of 1864 be rose to the rank of a major-general. He served with great distinction through out the war, and bis pluck, courage and fealty to that cause are attested by tbe nine wounds, received in as many battles, which be bears upon his body. His fam ily consists of his wife, one son and two daughters. In 1869-70, as ohief engineer, he constructed the Northern Pacinc rail road and then tbe Canadian Pacific, and in 18S5 took up Us abode on his farm, near Charlottesville, Va., where he now resides. Court Proceedings. On going to press last week the Court was enp-aged in trying the case of Augus tus B. Stewart, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill.

The Grand Jury made the following presentment on Friday and were, dis charged: To His Honor Joseph H. Earle, Judge of the Eighth Circuit: Tne grand Jury begs leave to submit its report, as follows, to-wit : We bijye passed n all bills handed us by the solicitor, and investigated all mat ters properly brought to our notice, so tar as our time permitted. In accordance with the instruct ions of His . Honor, Judge Earle, we examined the matter of Bales by the County Dis penser upon written orders contrary to law and find that the law has been vio lated in this respect, but.we are persua ded that it was without any intention of so doing. We admonished the Dispenser about the matter and find that sirce the. charge of His Honor tbe law Is being strictly complied with. We reccoaimend that the Dispenser make himself thor oughly lamiliar with all tbe law relating to his duties and observe the same to the letter. By Committee, -we visited the Poor House, and find that onr Steward, with bis usual efficiency, is earing for tbe in mates in the most satisfactory manner tud is eondacting tbe farm and all busi ness pertaining to his position in a busi .ess-like manner. We also visited tbe County Stockade and found it well kept and the prisoners properly cared for. For the reason that so mach has been said about the condition of onr jail and for the farther reason that there have been several escapes from there of late, we visited tbe jail in a body. We regret that it becomes onr duty to publish to the citizens of our county and to the public generally the condition of this building. It is old, inconvenient, un oomlortable, and so oat of repair as to in vite escapes and prison-breach. The walls and floors are filled with vermin, which will probably never be removed until tbe building is torn down. Tbe ourt House is on the public square and -peaks for itself. In view of the circumstances of the case, the Grand Jury unanimously re commends that our legislators, now at the General Assembly, take immediate action authorizing the levy of a tax of one and one half mills for the erection of a new substantial jail on the grounds where the old one now stands, and that they further procure tbe levy of a tax sufficient to ouiid a good, substantial Court House, in installments of three years, providing therein that the present building be sold at public outcry or in such other manner as the County Board of Commissioners may deem best and the grounds be used as a park, in the center of which may be erected the Confederate Monument, this levy to be ratified by a vote of the people. We recommend further in this connec tion that the sheriff have the jail thor oughly cleaned. We have appointed a committee of three, consisting of our Foreman, and J. A. Hall and W. H. Tucker, with instruc tions to call to their aid an expert to ex amine the offices and accounts of the public officers and report at onr next term. A petition has been presented to us signed by a number of reputable citizens of that vicinity and accompanied by tbe certificates of two well known physicians stating that from lands of 8. A. Karris down to tbe shoals on tbe estate of C. C. Simpson on Little Uenerostee Creek, in Corner Township, so many obstructions tiro allowed to remain in tbe creek that che lands in that section have been much damaged and a great deal of siokness has resulted. We recommend that tbe pro uer authorities Bee that the present laws or drainage be enforced and that if said laws are deficient in any respect, the rep resentatives of this County in the Leg islature be requested to Introduce such law. as will properly provide for relief in auch cases. We neglecte to mention above that at the Stockade we find no adequate pro vision for separate apartments for the white and colored prisoners, and that we reccommend that the Supervisor be di reced to build such apartments. We have appointed a committee of our number to confer with the Supervisor in reference to the matter of the letting of contracts*for working the public roads in order to ascertain if some more satisfac tory method of working the roads may not be arrived at. In conclusiou we beg to tender our thanks to His Honor, tbe presiding Judge, to the Solicitor, and to Mr. T. P. Coth ran. actinic Solicitor, for their courtesy to us and the aid they have given us in our duties, and to all tbe other officers of the Court for the readiness with which they have aided us when occasion pre sented. Respectfully submitted, R. E. Parker, Foreman. The Court was occupied on Sat urday afternoon in hearing appeal cases from the Mayor's and Magistrates Courts. The Court of Common Pleas convened Monday morning and continued through yesterday, when the jurors were dis charged. The Court to-day is engaged in Equity business, and will probably conclude its work to-morrow. - The Legislature. Columbia State, Feb. 17. At the opening of this, the sixth week of the annual session of the General As sembly, tbo special bill providing for tbe final adjournment of the body seems to be far away at the tall end of the calendar of time. It is simply "out of sight." It. ceema to have been recommitted. The Senate as a committee cf the whole is on a quiet hunt for it, but over in tbe House no search seems to have been instituted. Of course it will be found Borne time or other, but exactly when no one can with any degree of safety at this Btage predict. Tbe first soent of the missing link wab found yesterday when it became impos sible to introduce i:.nv more bills in tbe House except through the committees. There was not so much talk about the poor white man daring the week just ended, but the new constitution began to get; in its work in the hands of the legal members of the House and it was often quoted. There has been very little of genuine importance accomplished during the past week, though a con Bid arable am ount of work has been done and there have been some interesting discussions. So far as r?sulte are concerned, however, most of them have been or a minor char acter. Tbe railroads got through tbe weak without any material damage in the lower House. The Senate has gotten up with its cal endar and for several days has been wait ing on the House. It has killed the thirteen hour bill, the Saturday night closing bill and the bill relating to the prohibiting or the organization of com panies bearing arms, not being a portion of the State militia. The com mittue has reported favorably on the three cents a mile House bill and unfavorably on tbe Jim Crow car bill, and both have been recommitted to the committee on rail roads. The Senate has also passed tbe adulterated butter and milk bill. The House is where public attention is directed now. It has about one hundred and thirty bills still on its calendar. Of these only twenty-Bix are Senate bills and resolutions. And nearly all of the general bills are among them, along with others calculated to occasion much debate. The House is now just ready to get down to work and this work will witness many matters of general interest. The registration bill has been practi cally disposed of, tbe provision for' an openly conducted examination being striefcen out after an exceedingly inter esting debate. Tbe bill was simply sent back to the committee for it to incorpor ate the numerous Hou se amendments. All the other election measures, includ ing Mr. Manning's Aus ralian ballot bill are on the special order 1 ist still awaiting consideration. Of cour o they will bave to be disposed of. Another interesting at:d important mat ter during the past week was Che ques tion ?.s to the disposition of tbe privilege tax. Mr. Conner's bill to abolish it was thoroughly discussed, and was killed. Mr. Ramsford's bill to allow specitiu Bums to go to Winthrop aod Cletnson.an? put ".he excess Into the general fund is still jpending with every indication thai it will pass. The Senate hill relating to magistrates has been practically dliiposed of after a pretty thorough debate but 1b still on tbb calendar. The State Fair bill is still un der tbe head of unfinished business on a motion to reconsider tin vote whereby the enacting words were tricken out. Another rook on tbe special order cal endar is tbe Senate bill relating to build ing and loan associations. For to-morrow tbe speoial orders are tbe general bill fixing tbo compensation of county officials, making it uniform in proportion to population of tbe several counties, and Mr. Fat ton's warehouse bill. The House has already wrestled over the appropriation bill, stumbling on the $6,000 Atlanta Exposition rock, under the guidance of Mr. Williams, of Ed^eneld, and having a very interesting debate over it. This was tbe item whicn caused tbb Attorney General to be asked for bib opinion as to its constitutionality, and elicited his opinion. This bill has been j made a. special order for W ednesday. All tie other general bills not already disposed of are occupying their positions on the >3alendar. The Senate's concurrent resolution fix ing the time for. the final adjournment has been made a special order for Th?rs day, but the House will scarcely be able to handle it by that time. It is thus seen that the heaviest work of the House is just beginning, and it it> not unlikely tbat Mr. Karle's resolution fixing the five-minutes and only-ouue role as to speeches will bave to be adopt ed, as well as Mr. Ott's resolution looking to the appointment of a committee tu arrange the calendar putting ail i;be im portant bills first. Daring the past week the Governor's special message relating to the disponss.rv system, and making recommendations as to changes in the dispensary law was pre sented and read. Ab yet neither House has a bill before it looking to carrying out these amendments. Another feature of the proceedings ot the past week was the passage of Mr. L.J. Williams' important salary redu c tion bill. As to the investigating committees, the Clemson College committee has not yet presented its report to the General As sembly, but expects to do so to-morrow or Wednesday. The public printing committee has not presented its repun either, but it is at work. This com mittue has tbe bills relating to the public print ing in its hands and they will not be con sidered further until tbe report is pre sented. Of course tbe ehctionof a pub lic printer is consequently delayed. Tbe unseating of Messrs. Gaston and Duncan was another of the leatures of tbe week in the House. They are no longer to be seen on the floor. The next day after the action was taken unseating them, one member pointed to Mr. Ga? ton's empty chair and remarked, wltb much sadness, " There is an Aiken void." Both the Income tax bills have been unfavorably reported and they are far down on the calendar. There ie not much prospect, it 1b understood, of either of them passing. Mr. Floyd's license bill has just mads its appearance in the House. It is a grad uated license bill, and it may get a diplo ma. Of course no one can tell, however, what its fate will be. One thing is cer tain it will have to get a diploma signed by the president of the Senate, tbe Speaker ot the House and the Governor before it can "praotice." Mr. Earlo'a bill to provide a system of county courts has also just made its ap pearance. A glance over the above partial num mary of the matters yet to bo considered shows very clearly tbat the bulk of tbb work Is yet to be done, and it will have to be hard work to make any headway. A good many bills will of necessity have to be left on the calendar at the final adjournment or else the session will be prolonged indefinitely. Such certainly Is the outlook at this stage of the proceed ings. ? ami Bad for the Third Party. Washington, Feb. 12.?Interest in the new Free Sliver party appears to be lan guishing, md the efforts of its leaders to Beduce prominent Republicans and Dem ocrats are not meeting with signal suc cess among Senators and Representatives. Ex-Representative Win. Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, "The boy orator of" tbe Platte," who in closing a free silver speech in Congress two years ago, said he "would gladly offer up his life for the cause of silver," was actively at work among Senators and Representatives at the Capitol to-day, to urge upon them tbe Importance of standing by the free silver substitute to the tariff bill ponding in tbe Senate He said it would be regarded as a Bet back for silver if the Senate oc cluded to reject the free silver substitute that was added to the bill in the finance j committee. At the same time Mr. Bryan endeavor ed to do some missionary work in behalf j of tbe establishment of a Republican- j 1 Democratic-Popullatic Free Silver party. ' He bad long and earnest conversations with Senators Woloott, of Colorado ; Till man, of South Carolina; Allen, of Ne braska ; Pugb, of Alabama, and several other well known Free Silver Oenatorei. The Republican silver Senators are not disposed to accept tbe amateur attempts of Mr. Bryan as a new party organizer, nor are they disposed to break away from party ties to chase the silver question into a Third Party swamp. They con tend that they may eventually get some recognition for silver from the Republi can party, but tbey do not intend to take any chances in a Third Party, or with the Populist movement. It is understood that when Air. Bryan attempted to tell Senator Woloott about the great advancement of tbe new Silver party in Colorado, tbe latter asked the "boy orator" to name some of the leaders of the movement in tbat State. As each name was mentioned, Senator Woloott discounted their influence by Baying that they were Populists, and that the Repub licans of Colorado do not intend to join hands with the Populists in any cheme they may have to oarry out. Maiy of tbe Southern Democrats told I Mr. Bryan substantially the same thing. , 3 They insist that there is nothing to be gained by Southern Democrats deserting tbe Democratic party forces to go with the Populists. While many cf them are earnest in their convictions that free sil ver will benefit their constituents, they nevertheless insist that if these is any relief to be had tbey must look to the Democratic partv ">r it. Representative Livingston of Georgis, who is a rampant free silver man, says he will not leave the Democratic party to go into the ranks of a Third Party. He sayB he believes that the State of Georgia will Bend a free silver delegation to the National Demo cratic Convention without regard to the question ol one or two conventions in that State. He says the Georgia silver men will make a firm, square fight for Kilver, and if they are out-voted in the national convention tbey will go horns and go to work to bel p elect the party ticket. He says the Georgia Democrats have no idea ot bolting the party platform or the ticket, as some of the so-called Democrats in other States are threatening to do. He believes, however, that some thing will be done to recognize silver at the next national convention of the Demo cratic party, for he contends that there are more true friends of silver in the Democratic party than in the ranks of tho Republicans. ? few of the extreme free silver men, who are rendered desperate at the thought that tbey may have to relinquish their seats in Congress, are disposed to follow tbe free silver craze to any limit that looks hopeful to them. From that class Mr. Bryan received some encouragement, otherwise be would bave bad but little to Mbow for bis day's work at the Capitol.? Special to Navs and Courier. Home Folk in Washington. Washington, February 12.?Repre sentative Latimer is having hard luck with his Newberry College war claim bill. By persistent effort on bis part be ob tained a favorable report on the bill from tbe committee on claims, and with the aid of Senator Tillman a similar measure was passed in the Senate. After making a general can vass of the House Mr. Lari mer found tl ai there was no opposition to the bill among Republican members, so be proposed to follow tbe usual prac tice in such cases, and try to put it through tbe House some morning by unanimous consent. By substituting tbe bill that passed tbe Senate for the House bill much time would thereby be saved. Having planned tbe line of action Mr. Latimer went to Speaker Reed to make an arrangement by which the South Carolina member might be recognized to make a motion for unanimous consent. It should be understood tbat Speaker Reed requires all propositions to be sub mitted to him in advance before he will grant tbe desired recognition to mem bers upon tbe floor. Speaker Heed took tbe Newberry College bill, examined it critically, said it was one of the cleanest claims that had come to bis notice in muny years, but in view of tbe condition of the United States treasury it would be impossible to allow tbat bill or similar measures to go through tbe present Con gress by unanimous consent. Under tbe circumstances tbe bill goes to tbe Calen dar, where it is apt to languish and die before it is reached in its regular order, for the Calendar is already overcrowded. There is going to be a lively scramble in the 3d district for Representative Latl mer's seat in Congress. A well-known Populist from Anderson, who came to Washington recently to attend ihe free silver conference held bore, gave out tbe statement tbat Mr. Latimer is already beaten for renomination, and it is only a question of who shall be his successor. Anong the aspirants for Congressional nonora from that district are: J. W. Bowden, D. K. Norris, R. R. Hemphill, I. H. McCoIIh, the present 8tate Senator from Abbeville, and Ex-Congressman George Johnstons. While this may be a very formidabje array of talent, Mr. Lati mer does net appear to be disturbed on tbe subject, and he will go into tbe fight l'or a reoomination and election with all tbe confidence imaginable. He says be has made a record tbat is entirely satis factory to the people of this district, and oe points to his efforts in behalf of tbe Newberry College, the proposition look ing to the distribution of seeds among the agricultural colleges, and bis latest proposition looking to tbe equal distribu tion of publio lands among the various Slates While be makes no pretension at posing as one of the orators of the House, he is recognized in tho committee rooms us one of tbe most indefatigable workers of the South Carolina delegation. Many of the leading newspapers of tbe country have printed pictures of Repre sentative Jasper Talbert since bis contact upon the floor of tbe House with the young Bariett, of Massachusetts. Mr. Talbert enjoys tbe prominence he thus obtained, aud be Is now dividing tbe at tention of tbe South Carolina colony with Senator Tillman. It is said that tbe speech of Mr. Talbert will assure his re election to the next Congress, and will also send him to tbe National Democratic Convention as one of the delegates at large. Committee on elections No. 3, having jurisdiction over tbe four contested cases from South Carolina, held a long secret session to-day, and it is said that tbey were considering the cases of Messrs. Elliott, Stokes, Latimer and McLaurin. Various rumors were circulated as to the decision of tbe committee, but at a late hour to-night a member of tbe commit tee states tbat a final conclusion has not yot been reached. Naturally there is considerable anxiety among the members of th* South Carolina delegation as to tbe result, but as tbe committeemen are sworn to secrecy their verdict cannot be ascertained until tbey are ready to make a report. The Republican members of the committee have not up to th'.s i'me taken their Democrat! associates into thi?ir confidence. Tom Johnston, who is contesting the seat of Dr. Stokes, was about tbe Capitol to-day telling bis friBnds be is a Reed man, hoping thereby to influence tbe elections committee, a majority of whom favor Reed'B Presiden tial aspirations. Mr. Johnston Bays South Carolina will certainly send con testing delegations to tbe St. Louis Con vention, but adds tbat both of them will he Reed delegations.?Special to News and Courier. Measles Kill a Family. Birmingham, Ala., February 14.? From Bright8, Alo., comes tbe story of the annihilation of an entire -family by measles. The family of P. A. Higgins, postmaster, was taken down at almost the same time with tbe malady. Frst tbe ?on, aged 20, died. Then the mother fol lowed, the lather came next, and the daughter, aged 18, also died from the Bffects of the disease. The neighbors had to bury thb family one by one. ? Tillie and Lizzie, of Philadelphia, nineteen years o!a,are remarkable twins, if the stories told of them be true. When one suffers pain, tbe other feels it also. Either sister can find tbe other in a crowd of any size ''without hunting," as they express it. The resemblance between the two girls is remarkable. Both weigh exactly tho same. Their recollections of past events are precisely the same. Neither one can recall a single occurrence tbat did not happen in the presence of both. It takes the minds of both to re tain a lasting reccollectlon of any hap peolug, but when the fact is once im pressed upon tbe minds of botb, neither one forgets its least important feature. ? At dainty tables in London they are serving perfumed butter. The butter is first made into pats, stamped and wrapp ed in muslin, then laid on a bed of violets, rose leaves, or carnations, another layer of flowers being put on the top ; afterward placed on ice, and allowed to remain for several hours.

He has been a jowboy, a stevedore and finally a lawyer. According to his own account, his busi ness at one time was that of a tramp, and many a ride did he steal on freight trains n those days. ?

TOWER?; The Woodmen Circle. ITS MAKE-UP Ig composed of a Supreme Forest and Groves. It has a representative form of government. Since its promulgation in 1891 it bas been tbe least expensive of all the beneficiary orders. Im Constitution and Laws affords tbe fullest guaranty of its integrity aud it bas never litigated, contested or compromised a claim. WHO CAN JOIN. Every lady who is recommended by a member, and, if an applicant for benefi ciary, who is under 52 years of age. may be admitted and introduced in ritualistic form by the ladies of the camp. Gentle men to be admitted must bo members of the Woodmen of tbe World, and wirbin the same age limit, and take tbe obliga tion prescri bed. Insu ran ce statistics con clusively prove tbat there should be no distinction in tbe payment of benefits as to sex and tbat tbe new departnre of in cluding men and women in tbe same class has provon to be a complete success. THE RITUAL Is beautiful and impressive. Its refin ing influence and object teaching by tbe symbolisms of tbe forest is pleasing and ennobling in its tendencies and is an in spiration to acts'of kindness and mercy. A school for social improvement, making the circle a favorite element of tbe social life of every community in which it is introduced. MEMBERSHIP. Ladies and gentlemen may become Social Members if well recommended and accepted. Social Members are required to pay dues for the pay ment of Grove and Supreme Forest expenses, and tbe limit of age does not apply to thorn.

MONUMENT. The Supreme Grove will appropriate $100 from the beneficiary fund for the erection of a beautiful, appropriate and enduring monument at tbe grave of every deceased beneficiary lady member. Tbe relatives or a Grove may place a more expensive monument at tho grave by paying its cost in excess of this amount. It in a pleasing thought tbat no member of the Woodmen of the World or Wood men Circle shall repose, after death, in an unmarked grave. AUTHORIZED. The Woodmen Circle is endorsed and recommended, and is authorized to use the name, by the Founder of Woodcraft, and by action or tbe Sovereign Camp of l.be Woodmen of the World, and by the Mead Camp of the Pacific JuriBdiction. SUPERVISION. Tbe Woodmeo Circle lawB are subject to tbe approval of the Sovereign Camp, Woodmen of tho World wbtab reserves tbe right to call special cessions of the Hnpreme Forest at any time should it be deemed necessary, thus making tbe Woodman circle a recognized anxllliary and providing a double safeguard! for the protection or the membership and an assurance of its continued progress.

DearBir: Replying to jour favor of re cent date, asking my eatlin?feof the value of a policy contract in tbe Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co., olr Newark, N. J., I would say that my attention wan called to tbe advantages of owning a policy in this Company about seven years ago by a friend of mine who was receiving 22 per cent dividend annually on a new policy, when I w?s only getting about 10 per cent on my policy of $3000 in tbe Equitable Life and about 11 p*r cent on my $2000 policy in the New York Life. His cou tract and mine in these Companies being about tbe same age. [ gave up these poli cie< in tbe Equitable and N*w York Life and took out two policies of $ '000 each in the Mutual Benefit Life and the smallest dividend tbey bave paid me was 20 per cent I carry $6000 besides this in otber Companies, but I regard tbe advantages offered by tbe Mutual Benefit superior to any contract I have ever examined, espe cially the guaranteed face v-due, the 30 per cent loan plan, the reputation for economical management, the liberal ex tension features and the large dividends they have credited me with for the past six years I would not haltete to recom mend it to any one desiring reliable life insurance for tbe smallest cash outlay.
