AN IMPORTANT SUIT.

In his recent report concerning life insurance companies Commissioner Retts dealt boldly with some matters that have long and often been talked about and then let alone. For instance, the relation of the mutual to the stock department of the Aetna Life Insurance policies from the former to the latter. It appearing to the commissioner that the relations of the two departments are of such character that it is proper that the company transfer this diverted business back to the mutual depart ment, he made the appropriate order with reference thereto. The company claims that it had and has the right to make these transfers and contends that it has but one department, that the stockholders have 8 right to manage the mutual business as they deem best, terfere In justice to the policy holders of the mutual department Commission CT Betts deems it his duty to interfere, and he has therefore called the com pany into court in order that the matter may be duly and legally settled.
 This action will make a decided stir in insurance and other circles, and the commissioner will have stormy time he thinks is his duty boldly and prop erly, and he will receive credit for his action from all unprejudiced people. The whole matter needs thorough legal examination. and it is a good thing that it IS to have it,

SOME INTERVIEWING CRITICISM.


 It is refreshing and encouraging to see the laws delays and the defects in the administration of justice frankly and vigorously discussed by lawyers At the recent annual meeting of the Mich igan Bar association President George P Wanty had something to say which has attracted much attention. In his opinion some way should be provided for the settlement of the facts in the court of first instance, and then there could be only one appeal, and we would be relieved of the spectacle of seeing controversy travelling back and forth from the Circuit to the Supreme court, even for the fifth time, to the ruin of all the contestants, because the mem bers of the Supreme court had an idea on meagre record that the jury did not come to correct conclusion on the facts. And these facts should be set tied, if by jury, then one composed of self-respecting citizens selected by jury commissioners in each county, with the law so amended that they will be as re- spected a part of the court as the judge on the bench. In an important criminal case and after the submission to them of the most trivial civil action, the jury are kept together and watched lest they may commit crime. What man will submit to such an indignity if he can escape it? We ask that our citizens who are engaged in merchandising, banking, railroading, farming and man. ufacturing, in whom we have conf1- dence, will be patriotic enough to sac rifice a part of their time to the public duty of sitting on juries, and then tell them we have so little confidence in their integrity that they must be watch ed for fear they may be bribed." The | law is brought into contempt, MT. Wanty said, by the delay allowed in ob- taining judgment on an undisputed l claim. He advocated a change in this respect, and also that trials be short ened by stricter discipline and closer adherence to the precise issue, and by the abandonment of the doctrine that every case where there is a scintilla of evidence must be submitted to jury l Why submit case to jury" he asks, "where ie they find verdict against the great weight of the .evi- | dence it must be set aside, and the liti. expense of another and sometimes sev. | eral more trials?"

shore, and several shanty boatmen jumped into their skiffs. Looking up at the bridge, pr. Mccullough saw a boy standing on the central span, appa- rently undecided what to do, The doc tor thought the youth desired to take his life, and called on him to run back on the Kentucky approach. Instead or doing this the boy, who was none other than young KuntZ, advanced resolute- ty to the edge of the span, stood notion less for a few seconds, and then, throw ing his hands above his head, leaped from the bridge into the water. He shot down as straight as an arrow till within about thirty feet from the sur face of the river, when his body seemed to sag, and Kuntz struck the water in a sitting position.
 There was a loud splash, and Kuntz went under like a rock. Dr. McCul- lough and MT. Curry hastily bent to their oars and pulled to the spot, and the boy came to the surface only few feet from where they stopped. He ap- peared stunned, but managed to iioat and then, recovering himself struck out for the shore. Dr. McCullough called to him and asked if he did not desire to be picked up, but young Kuntz kept on swimming and reached the shore in safety.
 A remarkable thing about the lear was that the boy struck the water with such momentum that the seat of his trousers was torn away, though he was uninjured Asked why he, made the foolhardy leap, the youth answered.:
 'Well, they said I couldn't do it, an6 | never take dare"

DUST IN THE AIR.

MT. Fridlander q foreign scientific gentleman, has never lived in New Ha- ven, but he has made an effort to find out how much dust there is in the air in certain places. Measurements were made from air over the open ocean and mountain regions at attitudes from 600O feet to more than 1S,OOO feet. The dust counter employed contains a chamber into which air can be intro duced saturated with water vapor, then slightly and quickly cooled. Owing to the fall of temperature condensation of vapor takes place on the dust nuclei which then fall on to a micrometer plate at the bottom of the chamber, where they are rendered easily visible for counting by the water layer which coats them. On the Beishorn, which forms part of the chain containing the Rothorn and Weisshorn, rising about 5000 feet above the Zermatt valley on it's east and some 5000 feet from that of Zinal on the west, the observations show that at an elevation of 6700 feet there are $50 dust particles in cubic centimeter, while at S,400 feet there are 51S and at 13600 157 dust particles. Over the Indian ocean the average number of dust particles cubic centimeter was less than 800 for seven out of nine days and on fine days was less than 400 During thick fog in the Atlantic the air contained 3,120 dust particles cubic centimeter, while in the clear region just beyond the fog there were only 2s0 dust particles.
 If there is so much dust in places supposed to be clean, how much is there in the air of New Haven on good | day for dust? The answer to this conundrum ought to be known. Per i haps the Board of Public Works is waiting to know before it moves.

FASHION NOTES.
Deep Designing by MilIiners.


 Women are really becoming artistic in their millinery. The woman who gives even 0 little thought to her hat usually succeeds in accomplishing one that will artistically harmonize with several gowns, blend exactly and charm ingly with one and serve by way of pi- quant contrast with another. Such a hat, for instance, is a thin, loosely woven shaving chip of a soft, elusive green that shows a touch of gray and rose. It is in Napoleon shape. A tall bunch of rose-cerise loops and a knot of violets make all the trimming except for a buckle of emeralds. This hat is planned for wear with a very deep garden walking costume that Is lined with 8 silk that shades cerise and vio- let It goes equally we'll with blue gown, which takes tinge that 11armo- nizes 1t at once with the violets in the hat, and which is finishedat the throat with cerise collar, while the skirt is lined with green.

The crown is moderately high ana is surrounded with a wreath of vari-colored roses with foliage and buds. Loops of stiffened black chiffon ruse up in front and appear here and there among the roses, and punches of violets and roses are placed against the brim in back, but not enough to tilt the l hat forward.

A Hundred Feet Clear, With No Damage
 Save to the Seat of His Trousers.
 (From the Courier-J Journal.)
 Phil Kuntz the fifteen-year-old son of Joseph Kuntz, yesterday afternoon made the leap from the central span of the Louisville and Jeffersonville bridge. and with the exception of being slightly stunned, and having part of his clothes torn, met with no misfor- tune.
 Young Kuntz, ever since he has had strength enough to pull an oar, has been passionately fond of the river. The greater part of his time is spent on the water and he is a veritable water dog. Besides being an expert oarsman and swimmer, he is possessed of won- derful amount of nerve, and has ac- complished feats in the past two years that many an older person with more experience on the water would hesitate to have attempted. Kuntz was never known to take a dare.
 Last summer, with a party of men at Arctic Springs, some one laughingly suggested that the boy leap from the top of boat tied up near the shore. Young Kuntz, instead of doing this, surprised every one by feat even more daring. The boat was "stern-wheel- er,'' and when steam was raised to pull out Kuntz seated himself on the top most paddle of the large wheel At the stroke of the shaft Kuntz was thrown head foremost into the waves, and came to the surface a few moments later amid the greatest applause
 The central span of the Louisville and Jeffersonville bridge is one hun dred feet above the river at low-water mark. The height is a dizzy one, and though several men on the Point" de- clared they would make the leap, they became faint-hearted on looking down into the water and failed to make the effort Young Kuntz was determined to jump from the bridge, but no one be- Iieved he would make the attempt.
 About three o'clock yesterday after noon Dr. Hugh Mccullough and John Curry were out rowing. They had pulled up the Indiana chute and had headed the skiff toward the island. Suddenly there was commotion on

 Iowa has eighty-two cities with a population of more than 2000 as shown by its census of 1895. Nine cities show a loss in population since 1890, the loss being most marked in the case of Sioux City. It was the second city in size in the State in 1890, and is now the fourth. having lost 10,435 in population in the five years. Council Bluffs is another large city which has lost in population. The most rapid growing of the large cities in the State is Dubuque, it having gained just about what Sioux City lost, its per cent. of gain in the five years being 33.9. Cedar Rapids gained 19.6 per cent. and Des Moines 12.5 per cent. The latter, which is the largest city in the State. has a population of 56,359 The gain in all the cities is 14.4 per cent, the total urban population in 1895 being 545,139..
