An entirely new departure was authorized at a meet ing of the board' of governors of the Commercial Club at its weekly meeting yesterday. Following out the suggestion made by an ex-member of the board, a popular dinner was called for Friday evening, January 3, having for its object an informal discussion by members of the club and their guests of current matters of interest, the dinner to be strictly Informal, business men simply dropping Into the club for a 6 o'clock dinner,' which will be a very simple one at a cost of $1 a plate. A free discussion of a subject to be selected will be ex pected and many having ideas of Interest will be heard, and it is believed that a great amount of latent talent will be developed if the success of the dinner Is such as to warrant a continuance of the Idea In the shape of a regular month ly dinner. The continued success of the regular weekly lunch meeting of the board of governors, at which such a thing as a lack of quorum Is unknown, presages success for the project. Plans for Seuwood Bank. D.

GOLTRA. .Assistant Secretary LIFE INSURANCE AGENTS INVITED TO EXPRESS THEIRJOPINION PECULIAR PENN MUTUAL CASE IN OREGON A subscriber writes to us that while so liciting in Oregon he came upon a peculiar case in which the Penn Mutual I-tfe Insur ance Company was interested. About four years ago Mr. Campbell, a soliciting agent for the Penn. secured the application for in surance on the Jife of a Mr. McLennon, of Antelope. Or. The applicant paid the agent $10 In cash and gave a note for the balance of the first year's premium. The company accepted the application and issued a policy and sent It to the general agents at Port land. About the time the policy arrived. Mr. McLeiyion, the assured (who had paid his premium and been accepted by the com pany), met with an accident. His horse ran away and ran him Into a barbed wire fence. McUnnon suffered a badly lacerat ed leg and bled to death. The agent of the Penn Mutual, learning of the death of the Insured, quickly returned the policy to the company, but did not return to the widow th money the applicant deposited with the application nor return the note which was given for the, remainder of the ftrst year's premium. The widow will sue the Penn Mutual Tife Insurance Co. We regard her cause as a just one. Technically, as.lt may turn out, the company may not be liable, but morally, it seems to us, it owes the widow the amount of the policy. Coast Review, Au gust, 1900. Life insurance agents professing to be the friend of good practices and of honest general agents and solicitors are invited to express their opinion of the conduct of the Penn Mutual and Its agents as set forth In the above case.
