Cordace Tru,t TO Blame.

New YORK, May S-Henry Allen, OF
Henry Allen Il Co, whose suspension was
announced on the stock exchange on
Thursday, stated to-day that the extent OF
their liabilities was 100000. That, he
said, was the amount Of the debt of the
cordage pool TO his firm. Nothing could be
done until some intimation had been re-
ceived from the pool regarding the 'prooa-
bic course Of the gentlemen composing 1t.
1--WE are assured" he continued that ev-
erything possible is being done TO strengthen
out their affairs, but beyond that they have
told US nothing. They owed US $40, 600 be-
fore we undertook for them the $2OOOOO
margins on their pledges to pay before
1915 o'clock on Thursday morning. The
talk about our having speculated and lost
on our own account is not true. We did a
strictly commission business, and shall be
able to resume it as soon as the pool makes
good their debt TO US"
The receivers of the National Cordage
Company have been working persistently
since their appointment on the books OF
the company, but say they have not yet
got to point where they can make any
statement.

on its raw material, hemp, etc, etc, have
decided to extend the company's line OF

business without interruption, and will
relieve it from financial pressure for the
time being.

a Denver Sensation.

The Denver News publishes a sensa-
tional story TO the effect that DIR. t.
thatcher Graves, the famous poisoner,
who was supposed to have suicided in
Jail, is not dead. 1t Is maintained that
q pine log occupied the coffin instead
OF the body. The story is given on the
authority Of Charles N. Chandler. a
wealthy citizen Of Thompson Centre,
Conn.,, Graves old home. and where
the body is supposed to be buried.
Chandler and a fellow townsman, S.
Morse, are now at the above named
place. They declare that the coffin
was opened at the grave against the
protest Of the widow and found to con-
tain a pine log, and that the supposed
dead doctor is now enjoying his free.
dom in a foreign country.
A rumor has been current for some
time that the body carried from the
County Jail was really wax, and that
the parties to the deception were some
high officials and a secret organization.
This rumor is strengthened by the re-
fusal to allow the remains to be viewed,
except by the most intimate friends,
and by the further fact that the widow
refused to allow the remains 10 be en-
haimad.

The Annexation of Utah.

ton Of Utah to Nevada. II Mr.. Lam
nan and others who talk Of annexation
as il an act Of Congress was all that is
required to accomplish it would read
the constitution Of Nevada they would
see that annexation is impossible I'M
less the people Of Nevada assent to the
proposition by amending the organic
law Of the State.
The constitution of Nevada expressly
prohibits the annexation Of any more
territory on its eastern border, and IL
Congress should pass an act to annex
a part or the whole Of Utah to this
State il would require the action Of .
majority Of the qualified electors Of
Nevada, and at least two and a half
years time to give 1t effect. Nevada
has rights which even Congress must
respect. one of which is to accept or
reject the addition. OF more territory to
it's domain.-Reno Journal.

parents along about 1876. She was a
teacher in the public school at Ruby
Hill (south) when Is years old, and
continued in that position for eight or
nine years, and is now about 80 years
OF age. She exhibited remarkable
talent in teaching. and was highly es-
teemed by the children under her in
struction as we'll as by their parents,
to all OF whom her success in the world
is now a matter OF pleasurable COM
ment. Miss Frank was born in Cali
fornia and graduated in the public
school at Sacramento. While in this
locality she evinced a strong taste for
public speaking, and the development
OF her talent is not surprising to any
Of her friends in the neighborhood,
by whom her future progress will be
watched with intense interest.

Don't bate other women so. Think
Of the way you look at n another OH
the street. Don't keep all your polite
ness for US.
Don't keep smoothing the wrinkles
out Of your waist. Anew wrinkles will
keep you from looking hideously
smooth, like a fashion plate.
Don't have your skirt badly fastened
at the back so that your underskirt be-
comes visible. You can't see this and
no woman ever seems to tell you.
Don't get of a car with your back to
the horses. Men get q great deal OF
fun out Of your persistency in doing
this. But you are not bound to amuse
them.
Don't leave your handkerchief and
pocket book 10 your lap when you are
riding in q street a i. Some man will
pick them up for you as you are pass
ing out, but they will get muddy.
Don't try to have a long waist. For
5000 years the artists-the professors
and conservators Of beauty-have been
saying that q short waist is the more
beautiful.
