KEEP THE ERsIINE uNsPoTTED.

1t was brought out the ether day in
that one Of the principal difficulties in
trying cases against the Joint Traffic
association is to find a judge not a
holder of stock in any of the companies
brought. While it is much to the credit
of our judiciary that all the members
who are worthy of the places they hold
uniformly decline to preside over any
controversy in which they themselves
might have an interest, however re-
mote, it becomes clear, when out of
eight judges in single jurisdiction
only one is not disqualified, that the
rights of the people and the enforce
ment of law are in danger. We shall
presently come, at this rate, to a status
where cases against a big railway as
socfation cannot be tried at all for
lack of court not pecuniarily con-
cerned in the decision. Even where, as
now often happens, judge disposes of
self to hear an argument without bias,
it must be difficult to put entirely to
one side the feelings which are natural
to an investor. It seems as if the only
in what involves an additional hard
ship to the judiciary. Our judges work
hard and receive little pay. 1t is but
natural that they should, on that ac-
count, be all the more anxious to find
the most profitable investment for what
little they can save. Such investments
are always in commercial undertak-
ings, which are likely, sooner or later,
to be brought into court. The only line
of investment left open freely to the
judiciary consists Of United States
bonds, which pay but a small return.
The logical conclusion is one that CO.
incides with right general theory of
government. 1t is that the judges of
our superior courts should have a life
tenure, unless removed from office for
cause, and thus be relieved of the ne
cessity Of adding to their income by
investing in any stock or engaging in
speculative transactions. Through all
our political turmoils and scandals the
bench has been kept happily free from
every scandalous reflection. 1t should
continue to be so. 1t should remain
above even the possibility of re-
proach. There seems to be no way to
make sure of this except the adoption
of system Of practical life service
thus securing a certain income without
recourse to investments which, when
occasion rises, must either be disposed

CYRUS FIELDS son
Arrested i'm New York on Charge
Of Drunkenness.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s--Edward Morse
Field, eldest son Of the late Cyrus w. Field,
was arrested last night. In the court this
morning he presented a pitable appear
ance, shivering If with palsy. He was
charged with intoxication and made no de-
Tense. An attorney for the Field family,
however, appeared for him and secured his
discharge by explaining that Field was not
in his right mind.
Edward Morse Field who was his fathers
favorite son, was educated at Williams col
lege. He was the senior member of the firm
of Field. Lindley, Weichers & Co.. brokers'
who failed in the panic of November 1891.
Field made 81 eco, 900 in his first year In
Wall street and his father looked upon him
as master of finance After the failure
1t was discovered that the prisoner squan-
dered at least $1,000, 900. and that his forger-
les were enormous In one day. just before
the failure, $4,000 disappeared, which was
never accounted for. Field was arrested,
and when put on trial insanity was pleaded
in his behalf. but the jury disagreed and
Field was sent to the Buffalo asylum for OBJ
servation. He subsequently adjudged in
sane and regularly committed to the asylum.
from which he was released about a year
ago. Field has recently been making his
home in a Raines law hotel.

DAKOTA DIVORCES NULL
Not Valid Under the Laws of New
York.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The validity
IN this state Of divorce granted in
North Dakota was the main question
at issue in the suit Of Harry p. Nc
Gown, clerk of the city court, against
Mary Emma McGoWn in the supreme
court today. The defendant who is
the daughter of DR.. l. D. Demarest, a.
prominent physician in the northern
part OF this city, was married to Nc
Gown in 1887. About a year ago Mrs
McGown established a statutory resi-
dence in North Dakota and there pro-
cured a divorce, subsequently, marry
ing Harry w. Bell a wealthy tile man
ufacturer. McGOwn sued for divorce
under the laws Of New York Justice
Russell, who heard the case. decided
that the North Dakota divorce is in
valid here. He said that it appeared
that the plaintiff and defendant had
lived together in this state as man and
wife, and that neither of them could
dissever that relation, not even by COM
mon consent. Mrs. McGown, however,
had determined upon a dissolution of
the marriage and for that purpose had
gone to North Dakota She obtained
a divorce and remarked
Under the laws of North Dakota" ;"
said the justice. 1.-The defendant is the
lawful wife of Bell but under the laws
of New York she is the lawful wife of
MCGOWAN. The laws Of New York
recognize a divorce for only one reason.
Therefore, | say that she is still the
wife of McGown and must SO be recog-
nized by the courts of this state II
the marriage laws of this state have
been violated by Mrs. McGown, then

TRUST STRIKES BACK.
VIII Compete With ArbuckIes I'm the
Coffee business

TOLEDO, O., Dec. 1S.-The American
Sugar Refining company, better known
as the sugar trust, has closed a deal
for l, 100 shares of stock OF the Woolson
Spice company of this city, being
eieven-eighteenths of its total stock
The price to be paid is $1,265, 900. The
story Of this gigantic transaction is an
interesting one. Some time ago the
Arbuckles. "the coffee kings, branched
out into the sugar business. A large
refinery was built in New York, and
thereby the ArbuckIes became the COM
petitors Of the American Refining COM
pany. The latter was not at all pleased
at what 1t considered an intrusion. At
first the refining company offered to
buy out the Arbuckle plant, SO the
story goes. but the latter refused. Then
the refining company concluded to flank
the movement Of the ArbuckieS, and
hence this deal. A representative of
the refining company opened negotia-
tions with the Woolson people, who are
very close second to the Arbuclsles in
the coffee business, and Lawrence New
man, one of the largest shareholders of
the Woolson Spice company, went to
New York to confer with the refining
company. He is there now, and has
practically closed the deal.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-In speaking
of the sugar trust purchase, the head
VI OAO ~ thC Ao1 $751; AtOASCS Al W eAAA
street said THE purchase of the
Woolson company will have a wide
reaching effect throughout the trade.
and no man can tell at present how
the matter will end. The purchase
Of the plant by the American Sugar
people is accepted by the trade as 4
move to meet the Arbuckles in their
venture at building a sugar refinery,
work at which is now going on in
Brooklyn.
THE first effect Of the purchase was
evidenced today when the Woolson
company sent out announcements to
dealers all over the country that they
had decided to reduce the price of their
coffee half cent a pound, and this
has been followed by an announcement
from the Arbuckles that the price of
their coffee to their Ohio consumers
had been similarly reduced half a cent
a pound which means that the first
guns have been fired and that the
fight is already on for supremacy in
the coffee trade.
''At present the Arbuckles control
one-fifth of the roasted trade in the
United States, the product of their
mills aggregating 100000 bags year
The Woolson mills have a capacity of
100000 bags year, but it is said that
their plant will soon be added to, so
that they can put on the market about
100000 bags of roasted coffee annually

of Centefville, were secretly married
at Denver, on the 18th day of October,
nearly two months ago. The marriage

thing Of a disappointment to the father
OF the bride. Gov. Drake himself was
kept out of the secret until he went
to Denver, about ten days ago. to rest
a little, and to visit with his daughter,
expecting to bring her and his niece,
Miss Mary Carpenter, home with him,
after the summer and fall sojourn at
the Colorado resorts. Before leaving
DeS MoineS, he received a telegram
from his daughter to meet her at
Browns Palace hotel, Denver, instead
of Colorado Springs
At the hotel he was first met by Miss
Carpenter, who proceeded as gently as
possible to break the news Of his
daughters marriage. He would not
believe it until he had been shown the
certificate of marriage duly signed
The attachment between the two is
said tofshave existed since childhood
The youth and inexperience Of the cou-
pie and the fact that young Sturdi-
want has as yet no occupation, and has
not established himself in any position,
were the chief arguments which the
governor is said to have used against
the marriage finally consummated in

Them Investigated.
ALBANY, N. Y, Dec 1S.-Mortimer Hen
dricks, a bondholder of the Manhattan COM

for the removal of the officers and directors
of the company. alleging several fraudulent
transactions. The Manhattan Railroad COM

New York city; it is capitalized at $40, 0,000,-
coo, of which $50, 100000 is in stock and
$40. .000, COO in bonds. The Manhattan has reg

it's stock. even when the earnings of the road
have been largely decreased, and it is this
fact that seems to be the basis of the charges.
