A TEST CASE.

A Benefit Society Refuses to Pay
a Policy in Order to Make a
Test.
New YORK, Feb. 7.-The trial of the
suit of Frederick B. Smith against the
National Benefit society for $4,000, the
amount of a policy on the life of John
Tyler, whose alleged suicide under the
name of A. Allen, at the Mahackemie
hotel, in South Norwalk on Nov. 12,
1886, will be remembered, was begun
yesterday in the supreme court, Brook
lyn, before Justice Cullen and a jury.
When Tyler died his life was insured in
various companies for an aggregate of
about. $4,000 in sums ranging from
5000 to $4,000. The Travellers Insur-
ance Company of Hartford and some of
the other companies compromised with
the holders of the policies, some paying
as much as GO cents on the dollar, and
some, it is said, considerably less. The
National Benefit and other cooperative
companies refused to recognize the va
lidity of the policies, alleging fraud and
conspiracy from the moment application
was made for them until Tyler's death.
The present suit will be considered q
test case. 1t is expected that new and
sensational developments in this extra
ordinary case will come out before the
close of the trial. Detectives for the de-
fendent have been employed for year
in tracing the history OF Tyler, and it is
alleged that proof will be introduced
that he entered into conspiracy with
certain persons whom he had defrauded
to have his life heavily insured for their
benefit, and then, failing of any other
means to make good their claims, to
commit suicide.

OLD BREWSTER'S FOLLY.
Valuable Property Damaged by an Old
Mans 0bstinacy.
IT WAS VACANT FOR YEARS.
At Last the Old Man Dies and the
Property Is Sold for Good
Figure.

New y oEK, Feb. 7.-There was an
executors sale at the real estate eX-
change yesterday of piece of property
with remarkable history. ltconSisted
of 627 and go Broadway and lc6 and l9S
Mercer street, covering a plat so feet
wide by 200 feet deep. Seabury Brew
Ster. who made fortune in dry goods,
bought il in 1851, intending that the IN
come from il should make his declining
days comfortable. He still owned il at
his death in 1884. The property was
boarded up during the latter half of the
thirtV-three years that interviewed, be
cause the owner thought it ought to
bring a higher rent than any one would
offer him. His friends tried to argue
him ont of his purpose, but he replied
that he had made up his mind to get his
OWN figure or nothing, and was not to
be turned from that determination. As
years went by the property became
known among real estate dealers as
BrewSter'S folly. The old man rather
enjoyed the comment his action eXcite0,
and paid without murmur the yearly
taxes levied against ii amounting, while
il was vacant, close to $4,000.
The long period of vacancy damaged
the neighbOrhOOd. Here was an un-
slightly place, which apparently no ten
ant wanted on the block. and Broadway
below Bleeker street, thus lost charac-
ter in some degree among business men.
When il at last became commonly un-
der>toOd why the property was vacant
so much damage had been done the
block that il was not easy To repair IT..
Ali this time Nj. Brewster made his
home ut the New York hotel, where he
had very comfortable bachelor quarters,
and from which he could stroll down
past his property and get as often as he
liked whatever grim satisfaction there
might be in looking upon his work and
in contemplating the wrath of the
neighbOring tenants, who looked on his
big, empty. fve-StOry, doublewidth,
marble building as if some uncanny in
tluence proceeded from it. There was
at one time talk of trying to
bring the old man into court on Suit
for damages, and witnesses were ready
to prove that the neighbOrhoOd had suf-
fered by his conduct, and that other
property owners were therefore entitled
10 redress. Mr.. BrewSter's friends
think that he would rather have en-
jOyed the nOtOriety of such a suit, for
he never Stunned publicity in regard
TO this whim.
When he died the building had been
SO long tenantless that the executors
found that it would not readily rent.
They were hampered, moreover. by
their inability TO make long leases, as
the property was 10 be sold, the execu-
tors were unwilling to load the new
owner with any obligations to tenants.
About year ago various persons were
found TO rent the premises at shade
below lease prices and agree TO move on
thirty days notice. They have been
paying at the rate of $4,000 year. The
property sold for s24S, 500.

Only Thirteen Years of Age, Mar
ried Twice and the Mother Of
Two Children.
ST. JOSEPH. Mo-, Feb. THE police
of this city were yesterday called upon
to deal with the most wonderful case
with which they have ever come in con-
tact. Sunday night a girl who looked
not older than thirteen years of age was
taken up at the union depot. She was
giving the lodging. and yesterday after
noon stated to the chief of police that
she had been deserted by her husband
and.that she had come to st. Joseph to
look for him. The police were at first
diSinclined to believe the girls story, on
account of her extreme youth, but it
was afterward learned that she was tell
ing the truth about her lost husband,
and that she had been twice married
and was the mother of two children now
deceased, although she is not yet thir-
teen years old. The girls story is given
as reported to the police, and is as fol-
lows:
About twO.years ago she was married
in Grundy county, Mo-, TO Robert Pat
She was then ten years Of age and both
of her children were the result of this
marriage. Her husband died in the
meanwhile, and she returned to her
fathers home near Highland station.
Her, father seemed to regard her as a
burden, and she was compelled to marry
John Stevenson, a young man of the
neighbOrhOOd, twenty-three years OF
age. The last marriage occurred about
three months ago, and until Tuesday
last the two lived happily together. On
the last mentioned day Stevenson de-
fuel. The little she had was sold and
she started in pursuit of her husband.
She saw him in Mound City, but he con-
trived to elude her and she started for
st. Joseph.
She was kindly taken care of and
Mayor Doyle provided her with ticket
to Hickory station, Grundy county,
where her father resides.

A Word About lice on Swine.

But very few farmers realize the
extent and injury of lice on swine.
Some wonder why there is not ten
pounds fat and flesh in each bushel of
corn fed to their hogs It is lice.
Some of the best hog breeders in the
country send out hogs just swarming
with lice. Not long since we saw at
railroad station a pair of choice
Poland Chinas from one of the most
popular breeders in Illinois going to
an Iowa farmer. There were thou
sands of lice on them. There is, or
should be. a constant war on lice on
swine. They are not hard to destroy.
but it has to be done in the right way,
and not srasmodically; but constant
watchfulness must be exercised.
Cleanse hogs perfectly. and it is proba-
BILE in two weeks or month they will be
infected as badly as ever. They always
operate the worst on the weakest, but
are not averse to suck the life-bloOd
of the thriftiest and stoutest. Do the
best you can, and there will always be
a few left to attend the funerals and
begin the great work of multiplica-
ton again. Get your hogs into a close
pen at least twice a month and syringe
them with an emulsion of coal oil and
buttermilk.-IosCaS State REGISTER.

A Noble Truff1e.Hunter.

All lovers OF trufles owe a tribute
of gratitude to John of France, Duke
of Berry. and third son of John the
Good. because he was the first, &C

wrong. and some other truf1e-hunter
may have been in existence before
John; but at all events n. Luce, who
has read a paper on the absorbing
topic before the Academy Of Fine
Arts. is positive on the subject. and
says that he has original documents
to prove his assertions. n. Luce has
also discovered that John used to gam

THE GERMAN KAISER.

He Orders Alterations In the Imperial
Crown to Make 1t Fit Him.
During some of the leisure moments
which the Emperor of Germany has
at his disposal he has been overhaul
ing the crown and rcgalia of his
house, and has ordered the imperial
crown, which he wears as German En-
peror, to be considerably altered in
shape. Nor is the imperial banner Or
the imperial mantle of state considered
altogether satisfactory in their present
form, and these two are to be changed
in several details. Last, and not least,
the Kaiser also found fault with the
imperial throne which it was lately
his privilege to mount, and this. too, is
to be appreciably changed in appear
ance. to the no small perturbation OF
the more conservative of his Majesty's
subjects. who are going about prophe-
sying all kinds of evil things which
are to befall him and his house if he
dares to carry out the proposed alter
atoms. But, despite all the croaking.
the Emperor means to have his own
way, and so far as the crown goes at
any rate it is necessary for his own
personal comfort that he should do 80.
For not only did he find his head ''un-
easy" when he had to wear the
CROWN" but to keep the imperial
diadem on his brow for any length of
time involved positive torture. The
fact was discovered when he put it on
to be painted in full imperial rig, and
the orders given for a diadem that
shall really fit his imperial head arc
said to have been delivered in the
most peremptory manner by his
Majesty. And surely Kaiser Wilhelm
is right. I certainly do not see why
an Emperor should not be measured
for his crown just as he is for his tunic
or his boots. He is not expected to
wear his ancestors hats without alter
alton. and I do not know why he
should be called on to don their dia-
dems either. or at any rate not until
these diadems have been let in or let
out as the state of the case may re-
quire. Figaro.
