THE WAGES OF SIN.
James H. Parsons, of Hartford Is at
Deaths Door.

James ID. Parsons OF HarCIOru IS at
Deaths Door.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Hartford, Conn.,, says.
James S. Parsons, the fugitive presi-
dent of the Continental Life Insurance
Company, has returned after ten years,
a penniless man, to pay his debt to
nature. It is said that he has an incur
able disease OF the stomach, and can live
but short time. He has been living in
Canada since the wrecking of the COM
pany, but for a year or so intimate
friends have known that he was in
Massachusetts, latterly in Boston hos
pital.
He was hunted out of the United
States by officers of the law, and returns
in the hope that he may breathe his last
in his own home.
State Insurance Commissioner Fyler
began the prosecution against him in
1877. It was believed that Parsons de-
falcation amounted to between 100000
and $3.50. 900, though what he had done
with the money was a mystery. Four
indictment for making false returns to
the insurance commissioner were made
out against him and against the com
pany's bookeeper.

The discussion in conection with the
renewal of the charter of the Bank of
France, which has just been prolonged
by the national Legislature until the
end of 1920, has brought to light the
measures that were adopted during the
war of 1870 for the preservation of the
specieand valuables confided to the care
of the institution to the extent of over
$100,000,OOo. 1t seems that the whole
of this treasure was packed into some
$4,000 cases, marked ''explosive pro-
jectiles," and was shipped by rail to
Brest, where it was Cached in such a
manner in the arsenal that, even had
the Germans captured the port, they
would never have discovered the hid

HURTS FRENCH PRIDE
All Paris Enraged Oyer
Prince Henry's Defeat.
EXCITEMENT ON THE INCREASE
REPORTS That Henry Lacked Nerve

the Flame.
EXCITEMENT ON THE INCREASE

New YORK, Aug. ia dispatch to
the World from Paris says:
Paris is intensely excited over the
royal duel in which Prince Henry OF
Orleans was severely wounded by the
Count of Turin, nephew of the king OF
Italy The sale of evening papers on
the boulevards was almost unprece-
dented, while on all sides knots OF Pari-
slams, gestIculating with their customary
energy, were discussing, almost quarrel
ing over the encounter.
Although the Republicans would fain
console themselves with the reflection
that Prince Henry's overthrow has
killed Orleanism for a generation, French
pride, irrespective of party, is deeply
hurt by the Italian Princes victory.
Happily, the mood of the Partisan
changes quickly and often, for if the
present temper were to last, interna-
tional complications would be unavoid-
able.
The French anger is further stImu-
lated by persistent reports that Prince
Henry was inferior to his opponent in
nerve more than in swordsmanship, and
was completely overborne by the violent.
reckless onslaughts of the count. The
opinion is said to have been expressed
by the counts seconds that if Prince
Henry had had proper self-control he
had an opening in the second bout which
would easily have enabled him to put
the Count of Turin hors de combat.
=
played less than his usual skill and lit
orally to have overborne his antagonist
by his desperate onset from the very
start.
According to one account, the wound
in the abdomen from which Prince
Henry was disabled was the result of his
own malagresse in parrying a fierce
lunge of his opponent.
1t is said that the prince coll apsed in
stantly, and that the count looked on in
alarm when his surgeon, approaching,
asked to be permitted to dress the
wound on Turin 8 sword hand which was
bleeding profusely.
The swords used had been rubbed with
an anti-septic, but it Is needless to say
that if Prince Henry has sustained a
wound perforating the intestines the
danger of peritonitis is great and will
hot have passed for some days.
1t seems to afford appreciable gratifi-
cation to the average Partisan that the
encounter was reality and not a sham,
but that was due to the earnestness with
which the Count of Turin entered
upon it.
General Albertone's secondsstill claim
that the prince must meet him when he
is restored to health.

MAY SOON BE A STATE.
President Mckinley Said to Favor He
Admission.


Admission.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent wires:
In all probability one state will be
added to the American galaxy during
McKinley's administration. The presi-
dent. it is understood, looks with favor
upon the admission of New Mexico, and
it is likely that the territory will be the
next. to join the Union.
The bill for admission will be intro
duced in the house IN the next session
by Mr.. Ferguson. who is himself Dem
ocrat with silver sympathies, and the
eagerness with which the sound-money
Republicans will rally to the support oi
the bill is an open question.
Arizona will make in the house re-
newed pleas for admission through her
delegate, Marcus A. Smith, of Tucson.
and Senator Garter is expected to add
his efforts in the senate.

DIMINISHING STATURE.
One of the Chief Causes Is the Mill
tary Service Exncted.

One of the Chief Causes Is the Mill
tary Service Ezncted.
This relation between stature and
health is brought to concrete express
sion in the armies of Europe through
rejection of all recruits for service who
fall below certain minimum standard
of height, generally about five feet.
The result of this, says Popular Science
to preclude the possibility of
marriage for all the fully developed
men during their three years in the
barracks, while the undersized individ-
uals, exempted from service on this ac-
count, are left free to propagate the
species meanwhile. Is it not apparent
that the effect of this artificial selec-
ton is to put distinct premium upon
inferiority of statue in so far as the
future generations are concerned?
This enforced postponement of mar
riage for the normal man implies not
merely that the children of normal
families are born later in life-that
would not be of great moment in itself
it means far more than this. The ma
jority of children are more often born
in the earlier half cf married life, be-
fore the age of 35. Hence a postpone
ment of matrimony means not only
later children, but fewer children.
Herein lies the great significance of the
problem for us. Standing armies tend
in this respect to overload succeeding
generations with inferior types of men.

PARIS, Aug. 16.-12 80 p. m.-Prince
Henry of Orleans, who was wounded in
the abdomen yesterday morning in a
duel fought with Count of Turin, passed

When person begins to grow thin
there is something wrong. The waste is
greater than the supply and 1t is only a
question of time when the end must
come.
In nine cases out of ten the trouble is
with the digestive organs. If you can
restore them to healthy condition you
will stop the waste, put on new flesh
and cause them to feel better in every
way. The food they eat will be digested
and appropriated to the needs of the
system, and normal appetite will ap-
pear.
Consumption frequently follows a
wasting of bodily tissue because nearly
all consumptives have indigestion. The
Shaker Digestive Cordial will restore
the stomach to healty condition in a
vast majority of cases. Get one of their

RICH STRIKE IN GOLDEN STATE
Morrison Gulch Discovery Rivaled a

CARRvILLE. CAL, Aug. 16.-Well-au-
thenticated reports of new strikes in the
gold fields of Trinity county continue to
be received here. Ernest Wagner, sup
erintendent of the Tiben Placer Mining
Company, reports that rich strike was
made at Elnea mine last Thursday after
noon. The ore and gold is of the same
nature as that found on Morrison gulch.
Wagner believes the ore found will assay
several hundred dollars to the ton. He
also reports strike on the Black War
rior of ore that will mill $4,000 to the ton.
This morning T. G. Cook, superin-
tendent for G. L. Carr, of the Forget-Me-
Not mine, cut into a small vein of quartz
at the bottom of winze 45 feet from
the lower level. The vein had pitched

widening and is of good grade. Above
the ore the body of the vein is from six

GOVERNED THEMSELVES.
Rowland Hills School Was Operated Un'
der a Written Constitution.

Rowland Hills School Was Operated I'm
der Written Constitution.
The most interesting experiment
IN education, so far as ! know, as
well as one of the earliest, was made
byione Rowland Hill, when he was
still a very young man. 1.-The ao-
Rnowledged superiority of our sys-
tenn of education, he writes in his
journal, ''leads me to think that the
combination of talent, energy and
industry which exists in our family,
directed as lit is tossthes science OF
educa ton, may some time or other
produce effects which will render
our name illustrious in after ages, +
The system" was nothing more
or less than written constitution
under which the boys governed
themselves II drew up a set OF
resolutions, he writes, which
were unanimously passed at a gen.
eral meeting of the school" This
was in 1912, when he was only %
years old. In a very few years
these resolutions expanded in the
hands of the boys into an elaborate
and infinitely detailed set of laws
which filled more than hundred
closely printed pages
Certain of the features of the sys-
tenn AS described by Rowland Hill
are very interesting Soon after
midsummer (1816) l established a
court OF justice in the school. The
Judge Is chosen monthly by the
boys The sheriff and the keeper
of the records are chosen In the
same manner. The attorney and
solicitor general are appointed by
me The Judge appoints the inferior
officers-as the clerk and crier OF
the court, the constables, etc. The
jury consists of six boys chosen by
ballot. The sheriff keeps a book
In which he enters all the SEN
fences The penalties imposed
were the forfeiture of premial
marks, certain number of which
entitle boy TO a holiday"
Apparently the swell" in this
constitutional school was a chief
magistrate who, it is recorded,
saves the masters "a deal of trou-
BILE" and actually put stop to a
practice" which before it had new
er been found possible to check
namely, that of throwing stones. y
If, as some scientists say, normal
boy lives through all the periods
that mark the development of our
race, it will appear that Rowland
Hills constitution under this very
efficient magistrate deprived his
boys of their right to the recreation
of the stone age.-Harper's Round
Table. @ e!
