INSURANCE In THE DISTRICT
The Proposed Law Discussed Be-
fore the Commissioners.
President Ross Gave Notice That
No More Local Bills Would Be
Introduced This Session.

The discussion of the proposed new in
surance law was resumed before the Com
misSioners this morning. Prior to hearing
any one President Ross said he deemed it
| proper to say that there would be no more
| new bills on District matters introduced at
| thepresent session. He had been SO advised
| by Chairman Babcock. Mr.. Ross was
nevertheless willing To have the dis
cuSsion proceed
| The Association of Fire Underwriters of
the District was represented at the hear
| ing, Mr.. W. c. Duyan being first heard.
| He said the association had an interest mall
| legislation upon the subject of insurance,
and they had some objections to offer TO
the pending measure. The association had
not known, until it was publicly announced,
OF the preparation of bill by Attorney
Thomas.
MI DuvalI than introduced Capt. r. W.
Tyler, who noted sundry changes which it
was desired to have made in the bill,
among others OF the provision with re-
spect to the filing Of a list of policies
with the assessor. This was a provision
for asceTtainlhg the solvency of the COM
panies. 1t was agreed upon all hands that
the clause should be stricken out
Editor Max Cohen, of the Insurance Jour
nal; Mr.. Meyer Cohen, of the firm Of
Wolf & Cohen; Mr.. a L. Tracy, Mrs
Belva Lock wood, Assessor Trimble, Major
s. II. Walker, Mr.. A. b. Bateman, and
others were heard Successively. Mrs Lock
wood recognized a difficulty in preparing
an acceptable bill for both life and fire
insurance companies, and suggested that it
would save great deal OF trouble if
separate bills were prepared.
Capt. Tyler next objected to the re-
qurement for the deposit OF 500, 900
with the United States Treasury as a
guarantee. He said the bill could not
pass Congress with such a provision in
it.
Two companies he said, ''could do
all the business in Washington, and to
require each company in the field to de-
posit 100000 is perfectly ridiculous"
Capt. Tyler proposed a substitute for
the clause, emitting the provision to
which he took exceptions.
Mr.. Max Cohen made an explanation OF
the provision, stating that the clause would
be made to apply particularly to foreign
companies not already in business, and Capt
Tyler expressed a willingness to have it so
apply, because if any requirement that the
States already apply should be omitted it
would enable foreign companies to concen-
trate in Washington. This was indorsed by
Mr.. Meyer Cohen, who said foreign COM
panies should be required to furnish a GER
tificate of having complied with the law of
tie State where they may have been organ
lied, even to that provision which calls for
a deposit of 100000.
The provisions of the bill were taken up
seriatin, and each item was carefully gone
over. with the view of harmonizing all diff
ferences, it being understood that the meas
ure shall have careful revision before being
submitted to Congress.

DOCTOR Mccoy
TEACHES A LESSON
The Renewal of the Rate Of So Month to ALI
Patients and for ALI Diseases.
GlVen as the Illustration to Garry the Lesson HOmWhat He
siders the Proper Use of the Word Free

Doctor Mccoy had sonnet hing to say
about offers of free Treatments The
essence of 1T was simply, that 1t Is
not honest to lead people TO a medical
office on free offers and take their
money.
When Doctor Mccoy yestablishedhis
practice In Washingt on, for a stated
time he treated everyone free. He
would as soon thought of cutting his
arm off as of accepting cent from
anyone who responded to his free
offer. When following this for a
stated period he advertised So q
month. he stated that the S3 was to
cover the cost of IN edicines; that his
own services and those of his col
league were free. He would as soon
Thought of cutting his arm off as of
taking more than So from any pa
tient.
Doctor Mccoy made the word Free
popular because his use of IL was
honest. His offer to treat patients for
S3 month, the average cost of medi-
ctnes, was believed and accepted by
thousands because they knew Doctor
Mccoy told the truth, because they
knew his superb skill as a physician
had never been tarnfshed by deceit
or trickery as n man.
1t is not enough that this be once
stated In public print. The lesson
needs TO be brought home so hard it
wi no.
must be protected from any methods
that are not perfectly sincere. The
sick ones of the public in any event
deserve protection, so Doctor Mccoy
teaches this lesson, giving the people
again his offer of S3 month and
promising to maintain this offer Just
as long as the Resources of his office
will permit of It. that is, until the
number of patients under treatment
becomes so great as to prevent the
possibility of his personal care and
attention. This is the offer:

fact that the marquis was worth 81 5000
francs, he considered it beneath him TO pay

THE FORESTRY ASSOCIATION
An Interesting Report of the Work
Done During the Year.


The executive committee of the Ameri-
can Forestry Association has made very
interesting report of the work done dur
ing the past year looking to the preserva-
ton of our forests
The committee considers that the appoint
ment ofa forestry committee blythe National
Academy of Sciences and the appropriation
of SIS, 900 by Congress to enable it's menl-
bers to inspect the public timber lands will
do much to secure the passage Of desired
legislation.
The report calls attention TO the fact that
the failure of Congress to pass needed legis-
lation has caused forest reservations to be
come discredited and Objectionable to the
people in the State where they are stu
ated, since, thereby, large areas have been
absolutely withdrawn from any, even ra-
tional. use, and are left without protection.
The report says that the wisdom OF res
ervation policy, which means that the gov
ernment should own and hold in perpetuity
forest lands whose rational treatment is of
special Importance to tile welfare of the
community, is being more and more recog-
niZed throughout the various States. 1t calls
attention to the legislation on the question
being pushed in the several States and the
praise worthy efforts OF different college
and university professors TO educate the
people to a knowledge of the Importance OF
the subject.

FIGHTING FOR A CHILD.
Mrs. Sturges Wants TO Retain Pos
session of Myrtle Grims1ey.

Another interesting habeas corpus case
was before Judge Cole on hearing yester-
day. 1t involves the custody Of little
Myrtle Grimsley, who is otherwise known
as Mildred Sturges. The child is about
eight years old and quite pretty. She is
the daughter of a woman now in the
Hope and Help Mission, and was turned
over to the Board OF Childrcn's Guardians
when about four years Of age. A home
was soon found for her with Mr.. John
Sturges and his wife, Mrs. Ada C. NJ,
sturges, two well-to-do people of middle
life.
Sometime in 1895 the board began to
hear rumors about the child S treatment,
but after an investigation decided TO al
low Myrtle to remain where She had been
placed Last fall these reports were re-
vived, and after another investigation
Agent Lewis went to the Peabody School,
where the little girl was I'm attendance,
and took her in custody. Mrs. Sturges fol-
lowed this act by petitiODing for writ
of habeas corpus, which was granted by
Judge Cole. After determining several le-
gal points it came up yesterday for the
taking of testimony as to whether Mrs.
Sturges had accorded the child proper
treatment or whether the Board of Chill
drens Guardians were justified in their
action.
Lawyer Thomas C. Hensey represented
the Sturges and Mr.. Ashley NJ. Gould ap-
peared for the Board of Childrens Guar
dians Some decidedly startling evidence
was offered against Mr.. Sturges, consid-
erable of which was circumstantial, how
ever. It's principal purport was to show
that Mrs Sturges was possessed of an un-
governable and violent temper and had
been guilty of acts of cruelty.
The case will go over until next week,
when evidence for Mrs. Sturges will be
heard by Jud ge Cole.

Like Her Testimony.

Chicago, Feb 6.-During the trial yes

colliander, Miss Shirley, the stenographer
in the State attorneys office, who is alleged
TO have furnished Attorney Forrest, coun-
sci for o'Malley. with notes taken at a
private examination of State witnesses,
testified that her notes were correct.
According to her. notes, several of the
States witnesses at the private examina-
ton were unable to identify O'Malley as
being present at the time of the murder.
When these witnesses testified in court,
however, they swore positively that O'Mal-
ley was present, and was one of the lead
ers in the attack on the polling booth.
States Attorney Deneen attacked the
character OF Miss Shirley making accu-
sations OF a startling and cruel char
acter. The attorney for the defense
protested, and Judge Tuley refused to
allow evidence against the moral char
acter of Miss Shirley to be admitted.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
The Eyes Sometimes Deceive.

There are number of experiences in
real life from which interesting facts can
be gathered. The treasurer of a large
manufacturing concern, whose name need
not be given for the purpose of this
article, has been compelled to give up
drinking coffee on account or Its effects
upon his stomach and nervous system.
1t was suggested that he try the health
coffee, Postum Cereal. as that is made
or the healthful grains and takes the
place of coffee very nicely
he rather felt that it was q foolish step,
to undertake to use any article with the
expectation that it would take the place
OF coffee, which his family used of the
best grade of Mocha and Java mixed. How
ever, a package was ordered for the house
and next morning at breakfast the coffee
pot came on as usual; when the beverage
was poured out and served toe him he
told the servant that he had ordered some
Postum, new drink and did not care FOR
the coffee
A laugh went round the table and he
declined to believe that the rich liquid
with the aroma and fragrance that reached
his nostrils, was the health coffee. In
vestigation, however, convinced him OF the
fact, and its use day by day without the
old sick feeling clinches the argument.
Postum is made by the Postum Cereal
Co., Lin, of Rattle Creek, Mich, and has
winning way Of it's own, when once intro
duced into the family it answers every
purpose of the finest coffee without the
attendant aches and ills. Being composed

nourisbing properties, for children as well
as adults.

Mr.. Natchett Has Enrolled the Re
quisite Number of Recruits.
Company A OF the District OF Column
bia Volunteers is noW an assured fact.
Mr.. Harry Matchett and his recruits met
last night and formally elected Officers
and took the oath TO support the constitu-
ton of Cuba All that is now necessary Y
for the recruits to wallop Weyler is to
get to Cuba, and there's the rub. Mr.
MatChett is satisfied that they will be
able to land on the island without any
trouble, yet the New York junta bas been
having all sorts of trouble landing expedi-
tions.
The young men who enlisted last night,
however, are fired with enthusiasm and
believe that going down to the island and
wrestling it from Spain will be an easy job.
According TO Mr.. Matcbett's version OF
the affair last night, the men were willing
TO start al a moments notice. He says
that he will be unable to furnish names
until after this company has left the city,
as there are number OF men from the
National Guard, who will have to secure
their discharges, and if their names were
known they might be court martia aled for
joining another company without being
regularly discharged from the service OF
Uncle sam. He also said that the parents
of some OF his recruits opposed their going
and that he deemed it advisable TO avoid
complicating matters by furnishing their
names for publication.
Mr.. Matcbett expects to land his com
pany on the south coast Of Cuba within the
next three or four weeks. He will begin
sending squads of men down shortly and
will continue until the whole company is
massed in Jamaica. Minister Dupuy de
LONE refused to say last night whether
or not he would endeavOr to have the men
detained for violating the neutrality laws.
