was consumed in blazing furnace of

HE COMMITTED SUICIDE!
The Cause and Its Lesson.

VIM did he commit suicide? Oh for
the same reason that thousands of others are
on the verge of the same sin, or in imme-
diate danger of insanity, paralysis, idiocv,
or some other equally unfortunate result of
any nervous affection lie knew he was
afflicted with IA nervous disorder, but was
careless, apparently Indifferent to the out
come; or he m ~ have lessened his chances
for recovery by treating with physicians
who had little or no knowledge Of such af
fections, or by deluging himself with worth
less so-called remedies His case was sad
one, but no worse than that of any other
nervous sufferer, who has nervous or sick
headache bilipusness dizziness, irritabiity,
melancholy, failing memory, hot flashes
\fainting, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia,
sexual debility, epilepsy, etc. The same or
similar consequences are likely to result to
any one who has any of these advance
symptoms of an awful end. Do not hesitate
in getting rid of them by intelligent treat
ment. DIR. Franklin Miles, the celebrated
specialist, has studied nervous diseases over
20 years, and has discovered the only re-
liable remedy for them. Thousands of vol.
untary testimonials prove the virtues of DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine.
Alonzo Barker of Clinton, N. Y, writes az
was SO afflicted with extreme nervousness that
was on the verge of insanity. My hands trem-
bed so that could scarcely feed myself used
twelve bottles of DIR. Miles Restorative Nervine,
and was cured. 1t is with pleasure recommend
this wonderful remedy for nervous troubles"

Several of my friends are using Dr. Miles REM

you claim for them. Mrs. Mary Kster, Los
Angeles, Cal.
W. II Capwell, editor Tribune, Plymouth, Pa,
writes My wife was cured of sick headache of
many years standing by the use of DR.. Miles
Restorative Nervine. She has recommended it to

IAN INCREASE OF NEARLY THREE Hum
nRED DER CENT

one OF the most common arguments used
by those who uphold the systems OF both nat
uriu premium ana assessment insurance ia
mat dividends acctuing on policies issued by
the level premium companies are merely n
IL turn of The unused port ION OF the premiums
pad In, ana that such amounts might be much
better ana more adYantageOusly invested by
the policy holders. such au argument may
hold good as Tar as il goes, but there are a
number OF instances where the dividends paid
have largely exceeded the total premiums
This is notably true OF the Mutual Lite nsur-
ance Company OF New York. This company
has paid Il number of claims which have dou-
blcd aud sometimes trebed the face value of
the policy.
The late Marshall Il. Blake was insured i'm
the Mutual under two policies OF $500 each.
They were issued in lS41, and all premiums
were pai' In cash, thus allowing the dividends
to accumulate. The dividend additions i'm
force at death amounted to $500, which, with
the face value OF the policies, reached the sum
OF Sli,g2. The total premiums paid by the
insured amounted to sGO39 80, leaving profit
over cost OF SSgl2.j0.
i Is safe to assume that had the insuree set
aside every year the amount of his premium
and invested it, the return would not have
been 50 satisfactory.

SOLOMON MATHIAS'S AFFAIRS.
Some Phases of Them Were Reviewed il
the Superior Court Yesterday.

In the Superior court yesterday afternoon
the case of Dorothea Matthias, executrix OF
the will of Solomon Matthias, against Wen
dell Kirsch was heard. 1t is an action on a
promissory note for $500, dated June 80
1888, on four months given to Solomon
Matthias in his lifetime and unindorsed
The action is brought for the benefit of Mrs
Emma Shine, who held the note as collater-
al securing part, for a loan by her tc
Solomon Matthias
The defense is that the note in suit was
given Mr.. Mathiassto secure him for an in.
dorsement on asnotessfor the accommodation
of Mr.. kirsch, which note Mr.. Kirsch paid
at the bank at it's maturity.
The counsel for the plaintiff claimed that
the note in suit was in renewal of a prior
note, also held by Mrs. Shine as collateral
which was endorsed; that the omission te
endorse the note in renewal was an over
sight by both parties; that the fact that
Mrs. Shine surrendered the Endorsed note
for this one in suit operates as new con.
tract, equivalent to contract by indorse.
ment, and that legally Mr.. Matthias and
Mrs. Shine do not stand in the relation Of
assignor and assignee of the note, but in q
relation which shuts out any equities that
might be open between the original parties.
Mr.. Kirsch denies that this note is re.
newal and claims that there is nothing
due upon it. Decision reserved.

The Fresh Air Society and Its Work.

The managers of the Fresh Air Society
have issued the following statement,
which will be read with interest by the
friends of this very worthy charity. The
sixth season for the work of this society
is at hand. 1t is with great pleasure and
qualification that we think Of the bene-
tit that has come to SO many worn and
weary ones, who, in i'll heath and from
lack OF means could not otherwise have
enjoyed visit to pleasant country homes
or rides in the street cars, or sails to
our eautiful islands, The society
would not be able to carry on this good
work were it not for the generosity of
it's friends, the courtesies of the offici-
ais of the railroads., the street cars and
the steamboat lines, who have always re-
sponded so kindly to the many soil cita-
tions for funds and transportation.
The officers of this society will be at
the YIN. CA. rooms every Thursday
forenoon, from 80 till 10, during June,
July and August. 1t Is hoped that as
far as possible all applications for aid
may be made at these meetings. Con-
trbutions of money may be left 70
