HIGH LIGHTS.

To bear disappointment bravely is
to discomfort the fates.
Every woman is as old as the neigh
bors remember she is,
Mingle folly with your WISDOM or
nobody will associate with you.
We are well balanced when our Wills
can control our prejudices.
Faith is higher than reason, as 10y
atty is finer than investigation
The geniality Of some people amounts
to a positive blenish in character
Look before you leap; otherwise you
won't recognize yourself afterward.
Originality consists mainly in not
saying the things which everybody else
says
Stupid people rob us Of time and tenn
per- but clever people go away loaded
with our ideas.
When a girls clever tongue keeps
her from marrying it is because she
has not yet met her equal among men.

No ADVANCE PREMIuMs.

Boston, Oct 5.-The receivers of the
Massachusetts Benefit Life Assooia-
ton will not return the advance prem
iums, which number of foreign pol
icy holders had paid when the associa-
tion was put into the hands of the re-
ceivers. Judge Lathrop, in the supreme
court today, denied the petition of John
Henry Rellxer in behalf of such policy
holders. The amount paid for advance
premiums is alleged to have been about
$50, 900. The payments were made un-
der policies held by Cubans, Porto
Ricans and citizens of South American
countries. The policies generally re-
quired that premiums should be paid
bi-monthly in advance, but in great
many instances these policy holders
paid the premiums for longer time
than that in advance, and this is what
they did just before the company coll
lapsed They claimed that they were
entitled in equity to a return of the
excess over what the policies required
should be paid in advance.

submitted to him and he passed Judg-
ment on every point that was raised.
Mr.. Quay tonight, IN response to an
inquiry for statement by a reporter
for the Associated Press, snid: Il think
no one who was present at the hearing
today entertains any doubt as to the
truthfulness Of the charge boldly made
by my counsel that this proceeding was
instigated by political enemies of mine
who hid behind the district attorney
and will not permit him to reveal their
names, and that their sole purpose was
to manufacture campaign literature by
false charges that could not be met
and answered except on trial in court.
"Of course everybody knows that
on such a thing, l could not be per-
mitted to make any defense or show
the falsity Of these charges, and my
counsel advise me it would be worse
than useless to attempt to do so at this
time and in such a proceeding. But you
may be sure that 1 have instructed
them to force this case to a speedy
trial in a court where both sides can
be heard, and after that 20 expose le-
gally and punish to he utmost the in
stigators Of this proceeding.
My counsel assures me that not
scintilla of legal evidence was offered
today to Justify the issue of a warrant
or plndlng over.
LAS to the charges themselves,
have simply this to say, that they are
absolutely false and wholly without
foundation. / have always had an ac-
count with the Peoples bank and have
frequently instructed Mr.. Hopkins to
have brokers buy for me stocks, which
I thought were likely to rise in value,
but they were always bought with my
own money or upon my own credit
and upon thoroughly good collateral
and the Peoples bank was always
thoroughly protected for any loans
obtained from it.
mot single share of stock was ever
bought for me, either directly or indi-
rectly, with public money, and my
letters, which were offered in evidence
themselves clearly show this. Nor did
| ever have the use or benefit, either
directly or indirectly, to the extent of
one penny, of any of the states money
on deposit in the Peoples bank. Nor
did ever obtain from the bank the
loan of single dollar because of de-
post with it of states money. Nor did
| owe the Peoples bank a single pen
ny, for every dollar l ever borrowed
from it was promptly paid back by
me at maturity.
AS to my sons transaction. which
was perfectly legitimate transaction,
4 had nothing whatever to do with IT
except that, having full confidence in
his ability to pay the loan at natllri-
ty, l endorsed his papers, and it was
fully paid at maturity

SUGAR MEMS WAR.
American Company to Enter into Com
petition With Arbuckles.


Philadelphia, Oct. 5. = The American
Sugar Refining Company, which controls
the Spreckels and Franklin rehner4es Of
this city, is said to be making prepare
lions to go into the package sugar" bus
mess in competition with the Arbuckles
Of New York. who have had that trade
entirely to themselves Men are at work
putting the old Delaware sugar house into
condition to be used as plant for put
ting up package sugar"
A well known sugar broker, In speaking
of the proposed movement of the Aneri-
can Company said:
THE majority of the sugar factors and
wholesale sugar dealers and grocers are
not much in favor of the package sugar
industry, as they believe it will clash with
the regular trade SO far In this style Of
selling refined sugars by the barrel. The
trade so far in this style of sugar has
been mainly in the country, but what the
future outcome may be no one can tell.
1t is generally believed in the sugar and
coffee trade that the trust, with the
Woolston spice mills in Ohio turning out
package coffee and package sugar plant
in this city and one probably in New
York means an irrepressible trade con-
fiict between the American sugar trust
and the Arbuckles for the mastery in the
package goods trade"
