THE GRAAF CASE.
Committee of Attorneys Report Against
Dfsbarment.

Messrs. John E. Humphries and John Fair
field, of the committee appointed to inquire into
the charge made against J. Samuel Graaf by
John r. Adams, yesterday filed their report with
Judge Humes They relate that they examined
j. R. Adams Joseph Matthews and ]. w. Consi-
dine and find that Attorney GRAF was en-
poyed by Adams to defend him in a suit
brought by A. P. Hotsiing. An attachment was
Issued and Adams, in order 10 evade it, trans
ierred certain notes to j. A. Dyars. They were
executed by Joseph Watkins in part purchase of
the Peoples theater, but Watkins refused to pay
them because there were found to be liens on
the property, although Adams had given a clean
bill of sale, and Watkins was threatening to
prosecute Adams and others for obtaining
money under false pretenses. Dyars, the report
continues, was acting for Adams and placed the
notes in the hands OF GRAF with instructions to
ensh them, pay himself and settle one OF the ac-
counts to save a prosecution being brought
against Adams. Grasf could not cash the notes
any other way than allow the creditor to take
the notes at the sum OF 500, and after deducting
SO, the amount of the claim, the balance of $3.50
was retained by GRAF.
The report goes on to say that GRAF had rea-
son 20 believe Adams had transferred the notes
Ia order 70 conceal them from creditors; Wat
kins had been gsrnisheed, but Adams frequent
" informed all concerned that Dyars was actu-
sIy the owner OF the notes. Adams is insolvent.
GRAF was to be paid $50 for his services, and
when Adams demanded the $50 GRAF told him
he had retained it as part payment. The COM
mittee find that the transfer to Dyars was a
sham, but they do not think GRAF knew it at
she time.
In conclusion the committee report that
Adams was not in position TO demand any
thing from GRAF; that the services rendered
we're worth the amount, and that las said par
tn we're engaged in fraudulent scheme to
bssthe creditors of Adams and the makers of
henotcs, and as GRAF had been to consider
sbetroube and expense in connection with the
natter they consider Graaf's action not such
would warrant the disbarring OF GRAF, aad
recommend that no further charges be made
or further action be taken by the court.
NJ. J. T. Ronald, the third member of the
committee, was unable to join in the inquiry.

GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY.
People Should Live 100 Years and
Enjoy Life All the While.

ITO grow old gracefully" says the we'll
known DR.. Gardner. ''is not the common lot
Of all. With advancing years come increased
infirmiIies, but they are by no means una
voidabie and their presence is due to failure
to keep up to their WORK the various organs
of the body. The study of the body by scien-
fists furnishes unquestionabie evidence that
the duration of human life may be prolonged
to 100 years
So says DR.. Gardner, and yet what more
common than 10 see a prematnrely aged,
withered and broken-down man, or pale
weak and emaclated old lady. The spirit is
broken; all interest is gone from life, and
they look forward only to death. The saddest
thing of all is that this premature age and
breaking down is needless. 1t can easily be
avoided by little care and assisting nature
just little, and ii is upon this point that
DR.. Gardner again speaks most clearly.
He says: Science. common sense, and all
experience testify TO the benefits to be de-
rived from the use of alcoholic stimulants.
1t should be remembered, however, that they
must be pure, and that of all stimulants
whiskey is preferable. The VOID whiskey is
derived from an ancient word meaning water
of life, and it is Il most appropriate name,
although there is SO much that is unworthy
in the market. The highest authorities-doc-
tors, chemists and scientists-agree, however,
that DufTys Pure Malt Whiskey is pure and
cannot harm even q child. It's effect is TO
build up the system, renew the life and re-
place weakness and WEAKNESS by healthy
yigoT. De very careful. however, that you
secure only the genuine; insist on your drug
gistS furnishing YOU with il and you will GER
tainlV find great benefit from its use

DULL AND LiSTLEs,.
This Was the Prevailing Tone
ON Wall Street.

New YORK, Feb. 2l.-There was no
expectation of anything more than a
dull and listless market this morning.
and 10 one was disappointed, many
brokers failing to put in an appearance,
and the floor for a long time presented
deserted appearance, while the trad
ing was strictly in accordance. The
room was inclined, TO tile bull side for
the most part. but just before the bank
statement appeared there was shown a
disposition to discount an unfavorable
showing, and the final dealings
were marked by a weaker tone.
The opening was firm, rejecting
the general sentiment, and in the early
trading further slight advances were
scored among the grangers, st. Paul,
Rock Island and Burlington showing
some animation. Silver. however, was
weak, the general indications being that
no further legislation favorable to the
silver interest Will be allowed to go
through this session. Mobile & Ohio
was prominent among the l0w-priced
shares, advancing from 36$4 to 80 Oh re-
ports of favorable developments to come
out and good earnings of the road. On
the other hand the Susquehanna stocks
were sharply depressed, the common
falling from 1923 to 9, and the preferred
from 81 to 341155, though a partial recov-
cry took place later. The theory of the
movement in these stocks is that GER
tain of the insiders have been endeav-
oring to secure options on the stock in
order to take advantage of the pending
deal, but failing to secure the options,
tried to depress it in the market to buy.
The market was totally devoid of other
features, and the close was rather heavy
