Protecting the Widow.
The subject of building and savings as
sociations on a partly new plan is attract
ing attention. In the old associations,
in the event of death the widow of the
workinginan often has no way of contin
uing the monthly payments,and the prop
erty is seized by the association, which
sells it to the highest bidder. Of course
she receives back the savings of the fam
ily, with six per cent interest, provided
the property has noL depreciated in value.
The new plan provides for the widow's
protection by associating with the old
style of payment of monthly dues the new
feature of paying a small sum additional
per share as an insurance fund. This in
surance fee enables the society to guar
antee to the family of any deceased mem
ber the commutation of the payment ot
monthly dues without cost to the widow,
children or other heirs, until the society
runs out. Suppose a man has six shares
on which he pays SO a month. He also
pays twenty cents extra per share per
month for his insurance fee, making his
entire monthly payment $7.20. At the
end of the year he has paid SI 4.40 for his I
insurance. The society has received it I
and he, as one of the members, has still}
an interest in it. Suppose he buys out
his six shares and receives SIOBO, for
which he purchases a home. If he dies a
week after the purchase, the widow at
once becomes the possessor of a home,
and the building association keeps up the
monthly payments.
All members of the society are exam
ined by a doctor the same as in any insu
rance company. Members between 21
and years of age only are taken. The
mean therefore is lis years. Ordinary
life insurance for SIOOO for one year in
old line companies on persons 38 years of I
age costs more than $14.40 paid to the j
building association each year. After a
building association has been in progress
a few years its membership generally
numbers about 400. All together they I
hold about l,f00 shares. Each month I
therefore the society receives $1,300 as j
dues paid in and SBOO insurance fund. j
The insurance fund amounts to SB,OOO j
per year. If no one dies that year the!
amount becomes a reserve fund. If at
any time a member who has been lu good
standing for any period finds that lie can j
not continue his payments, lie can draw !
out all the money he has paid in tor dues j
with six percent interest, but his insur
ance money he forfeits.
In a trial of the sheaf binding machines
at the Koyal Agricultural Society exhibi
tion at Derby, England, there were nine
competitors. McCormick's harvesting
• I
machine of Chicago, was awarded the !
first prize and gold medal, and \V. .John
son's harvester of New York, the silver!
medal.
There is a White House problem which
the Burtalo Express, bright and penetrat
ing as ili s,professes itself unable to solve.
"A great deal of money," it says, "is an
nually spent in repairing the White House.
The sum during the last fiscal year was j
$30,000. These repairs are supposed to
be heating, plumbing, etc., but there is
neither yentcllation nor plumbing. Who
can understand government affairs?
What private citizen could spend $150,000
a year on house repairs, and still have
his house eternally out of repair?" The
Express has evidently run against one of
those things "which no fellow can find
out." There are several of them in Wash
ington.
When Sitting Bull heard of the killing
of Spotted Tail, he said it was a lit end
ing for a fool. Bull claims that lie sur
rendered when he should have kept on
the war-path. Two squaws were caught
carrying ammunition and guns into Sit
ting Bull's camp. He undoubtedly means
mischief, and if lie says a word many
young bucks at the agency will follow
him. Trouble may be expected at any
moment unless more troops are sent to
that vicinity.
The funeral of Gen. Robert Patterson
was largely attended. The pall-bearers
included Generals Grant, Sherman, Por
ter and Hancock, John Welsh and Judge
Biddle were present and Generals Selio
fleld, Sickles, Ilartranft, and Congress
man Kelly. '

This remedy is something new, hoth as to name
and composition. This is one of the wonders of the
world. This Syrup, 1 claim, is better and more
effective than any other ever offered to the oplc of
America or any other country, and what i say of
this L can prove, This Syrup, like the Pills, is
harmless and safe. It contains no opium or other
narcotic poison, like the most Syrup, and is not dis
agreeable to take. Any child will take it. And it
will cure any and all inflammations arising from
Cold. It is superior to all others in every respect
and especially for the following reasons:
Ist- It will cure Croup every time.
'2d. It will cure Inflammation of the Lungs.
3d. It will cure Quinsy.
■lth It will cure Whooping Cough.
sth It will cure Bronchitis.
(sth It will cure Hoarseness.
7th It will cure Sore Throat.
Bth It will cure any Cold.
9th It will cure Congestion of 'he Lungs.
10th It will cure any Cough,
lltli It will cure Scarlet Fever.
12th. It is the best rented ' that anv one can take
for.Consumption, and if taken in the first stage I
will guarantee a euro.
13th. It is perfectly safe for all ages as there is
nothing in its composition that can harm a child.
