A FEW GOOD POINTS.

cB- That a person in perfect health
rarely catches a cold. 1t is only when
the system is run down and the blood
does not circulate properly that people
fall victims to colds.
II That it is a bad sign to feel weak
and shivery and to constantly suffer
from tired, miserable feelings If you
do not eat well, work we'll and sleep
well, there is evidently a weak spot in
your system
sB- That ordinary food and drink
cannot supply the great vital force re-
quired by people who work hard with
their hands and brains. They need
something to stimulate their energies,
promote digestion and keep the blood
moving. There is nothing better for this
purpose than pure malt whiskey.
sB- That there is only one really
medicinal whiskey and that is Dnffy's
pure malt. 1t is not an ordinary
whiskey, but a pure stimulant that has
a wonderful effect On the system. 1t
stirs up the sluggish blood, builds up
the health, creates a good appetite and
promotes digestion. 1t prevents and it
will cure coughs, colds, chills, and even
pneumonia Every reliable grocer and
druggist keeps it. Beware of inferior
limitations. Remember there is no other
whiskey like Duffy's and no other that
can possibly take its place.

said: Whatever difference of opinion may
exist as to the ability of this country alone
to maintain the parity etween silver and
gold. there is no question that the concur
renee of other nations would help and not
hinder the cause of bimetallism In the
United States. and efforts to secure 1t ought
to receive the cordial support OF every
citizen who is opposed to gold
lism. Internationtl bimetallism Is not a
myth. n chimera. The people of Europe are.
even as we are. struggling to keep their
that which may make for prosperity and
for progress.
Much of the recent legislation in Eur
ope looking to the increase OF gold holdings
and the depreciation of silver. inds its
origin in the eXigencies of n situation where
readiness for war is the paramount neces-
sfty. There is hardly n salesman In Eur
ope who believes the last word has yet been
said upon the question of the remonetiza-
ton of silver. and hardly one who would
not welcome an effort to settle the question
before Christmas. in a debate in the French
chamber. NJ. Meline again declared from
the tribune that the French government
was alone with the United States on the
question of bimetallism.
In the face of such a declaration. IT is
as coWardly to abandon hope as 1t is false
to talk about failure. International bimet-
allism is to the gold monometallists a
stumbling block and to the silver mono
metallists f~oolishness, but it Is neverthe-
less a splendid possibility: its accomplish
ment would be the creates" blessing that

SIMPSONS LATEST BREAK.
Announces Himself a Candidate for
Membership on Democratic
Campaign Committee.


Washington. Jan. ~17.-(Special) The
Demo-Populist congressional delegation
from Kansas Is at present in a quandary
which. it appears. will involve its members
in more than the. accustomed state of dis
cord. Not content with warning factions
among the Democrats and Populists Of
their own districts, they nave managed to
add more fuel to the fires of discord by the
actions Of one Of the members here. In
ternal strife seems to be the only matter
upon which all the members agree. The
latest trouble which has confronted the
Kansas delegation Is the question regard
ing the appointment of a member of the
national Democratic congressional commit
tee from that state. AS all the Kansas
member were elected by a fusion vote, no
one can accept a place on the Democratic
congressional committee without mourning
the displeasure of the Populists. All would
like to have the honor of serving on the
national committee. but are afraid such a
step would result in political suicide. The
national committee, which has charge of
the appointments from such states as
failed to elect their W members, has ap-
preached the Kansas congressman, and all
all nave refused absolutely to consider
such a proposition, with the exception Of
shell into the delegation by announcing his
candidacy for the appointment. His COL
leagues have demonstrated with him and
nave advised him of the folly of such an
all aside with the remark that he knows
his own business and wants the job. The
Kansas members say that this is the worst
break that he has ever made, and will GER
tainly result in his utter defeat if he is not
checked In time. But he refuses to listen
to any advice, and is so fond of notortety
This accounts for his latest escapade in
the political arena.

SUICIDE BARS INSURANCE.
Person Killing Himself While Sane
Cannot Realize ON His
Policy.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-In the supreme
court to-day. Justice Harlan handed down
an opinion in the case Of A. Howard Ritz
ter. executor of William NJ. Runk, VS.. the
Mutual Life Insurance company of New
York, involving the question of whether
the heirs of a man who commits suicide
when in sound mind can recover on an in
surance policy. The court held that they
could not.
1t appeared from the facts that Mr..
Runk, a resident of Philadelphia, commit
ted suicide within less than a year after
increasing his insurance to the extent of
100000. making an aggregate insurance OF
$500, 600 upon his life. OF the 500 600 the
New York company carried $4,000 which
It refused to pay, on the ground that
Runk was sane when he took his life. 1t
was shown in the trial court that he had
written a letter the day before his death.
stating that 1t was his purpose to put an
could be collected for the payment Of his
debts.
In deciding the case Justice Harlan said
that, in fixing the premium the company
would naturally take into consideration
their circumstances bearing upon the dura-
ton OF life, and no company would under
take to insure against suicide. If any
should make such an attempt. 1t would, he
said, be against public policy and would
not be allowed. Concluding. he said ex-
pllcitly that no person committing suicide
and found to be of sound mind could re-
cover upon his policy. The case came to
the supreme court from the circuit court
OF appeals. for the third circuit, and that
courts opinion was affirmed.

CRITICISM OF THE LETTERS.
Mrs. Letter Has Been Long a Social
Leader and She Has No Desire
tn puuish Anvnuo

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE stories pub
lished recently in New York concerning
Mrs. Letter and the Small and Earlies have
been a case Of Much Ado About Nothing"
Mrs. Letter. notwithstanding reports to the
contrary. is n has been a subscriber to
these dances. and while she is the least bit
olu-fashioned in her ideas as to young
women dancing in public bathrooms, there
has never been the least bit of opposition
on her part to the originators Of these very
popular and exclusive dances.
The majority of the subscribers are her
most intimate friends. who accept each sea-
son of her gracious hospitality. Since the
family have been in the Dupont Circle
house they have given each season a mid
winter ball. The date of the recent "'at
home and cotillon in honor of Miss Daisy
Letter. the debutante daughter, was ar
ranged for when the young woman made
her first bow to Washington society in De
it inexpedient for the gay. company to be
evening previous was selected without
thought or regard to the Small and Ear
lies" or any other event which might take
place in the city that night.
Mrs. Letter has too long been a social
leader in Washington to desire or to have
occasion to punish anyone. The family
have always entertained in their quiet, con-
sentative way, which is not in the least
p%retentious. and is entirely devoid of dis
play. They extend hospitality for the
pleasure that it will afford their friends
and never with the thought or desire to ex-
cite envy.

MARRIAGE BY INJUNCTION.
Unusual Method Adopted to Prevent
an Elopement I'm South
Dakota.

Kuhn, s. D.. Jan. 17.-Marriase by injunc-
ton is the latest feature of South Dakota
jurisprudence. Mr.. and Mrs. Michae Pruis-
ner, well-to-do Russians near here, recently
arranged to marry their daughter Lena to
Nicholas Bataglea, a neighboring farmer.
But Miss Prisner loved another-Alexander
HELM, a worthy youth, who but for his
poverty would have been as desirable a
sutton as Bataglea in the eyes of Lena's
parents.
From a faithless friend Of Helms the
Pruisners learned that the former intended
to elope with their daughter on the eve of
the wedding day. The aid Of a neighboring
Junction secured against the elopement, a
copy of the writ served on HELM and an
to arrest him should he presume to set the
law at defiance. s was ANTICIPATED, he
taken into custody and locked up.
Before he could secure a bond Lena was
married to the man she did not love. Pub
lie sympathy is on HELMS side and the
justice of the peace may find himself in
trouble for interfering in an affair Of the
kind.
