Among earthly ills to stay,

ton of farms, homes and mortgage sta
tistics made by the last census is inter-
esting III view of the decision of the Su-
preme Court. These statistics do not,
however, give details concerning rents

that there are 1850, 1917 families in the

brance, and 30 per cent. without incum-
brance.
On the owned farms there are liens
amounting to s., ,l3Z, 949, ,563, which is 81
per cent. Of the value of the incumbered

free of incumbrance. Among 100 farm

SAN FRANCISCO, April S.-There was
another break to-day in the combine of
the twenty odd English insurance COM
panies. The Commercial Union of Lon
don and the London and Lancashire In
surance Company of Liverpool have with
drawn from the compact. With these
two big companies footloose in fourteen
days, 1t will be impossible for the English
companies longer TO hold together. The
cutting of rates is general at present, and
the only advantage of membership in the
boards is the preservation of certain large
lines which all the companies are very
10th to see cut, and which, if the board
goes to pieces, certainly will be cut.
c. Z. Mullins, Manager of the CONNER
cial Union. said to-day: 81 have drawn
out of the board because believe it to be
to the best interests of my company to do
so, and if tomorrow it were TO the best
interests of my company to join a new
compac: formed on advantageous terms
to my company, l would join it,"
The English companies hitherto abided
strictly by the cabled orders from Lon
don, on January 9th, to get into the COM
pact and stay there.

New YORK, April SIN the insane
ward OF the Bellevue Hospital there are
two spinster sisters whom physicians
will examine to-day. For twenty years
these women tended their mother, who is
insane aud bed-ridden. Their father was
in an asylum for five years. Yesterday,
worn out by their watch over thoir
mother, and in the belief that some day
they would come to her condition, both
women tried to kill themselves The
women are Mary 4. and Harriet Nc
Ardle, the first 40 years old and the other
81. Their father, James McArdIe, now 81
years old, is retired builder.
Shortly before noon yesterday the father
went to church. Mary, upon going into
the kitchen, found Harriet pouring car
bohc acid into glass of water. Mary
watched her sister until she put the glass
to her lips, then she dashed 1t from Har-
rlePs hand. After that there was strug-
gle between the two women, for Harriet
INSISTED that she must Kill herself and
she tried to jump out OF the window.
The cries OF Mary alarmed the neigh
borhood and they hurried into the house.
After half-hour Harriet became quiet
and all the neighbors LETT them eXcspt
two women, who said they would stay
during the afternoon.
Mary, In telling them about the troubles
OF her life, became so excited that sud-
denly she jumped to the sill OF an open
WINDOW and would have thrown herself
to the courtyard, three stories below, had
not one OF the women present grasued
her about the waist and dragged her
back. 1t was Harriet who now quieted
her sister, but Mary grew worse until
Harriet, in her efforts to calm her sister
also became hysterical. When the father
returned late in the afternoon ne saw that
affairs were beyond his control and he
called in the police. The sisters begged
to be given pistols with which to Kill
themselves. They also pleaded with the
officers to kill them. When doctor
came the women became calm They
said they knew perfectly well that they
were insane and were anxious to go to
the hospital.
