| ness in that State Suit was immedi-
ately begun by the attorney general
| against the one that remained. The
trial court held that the act was uncon-
| stitutional as respects all outside corpor-
ations. The case was appealed to the
Supreme court and that tribunal sus-
tains the decision already rendered. The
case is thus stated by the higher court:
The question presented is whether a
foreign corporation doing a fire insur-
ance business in this State subjects it
self to penalty under the recent stat
ute against trusts and corporations by
entering into an agreement with other
insurance companies for the purpose of
fixing rates of insurance in foreign
countries, when such an agreement is
neither made in the State nor intended
in any way to affect the prices or pre-
miums to be paid for insuring property
in the State.
The absurdity of the discredited law
Is clearly shown by the following quo
tation from the opinion as prepared by
Justice Riddick: Let US follow the ar
gument of counsel of the State and see
what it would lead to. The defendant
company is an English corporation en-
r1 c,pd in tho b,,eir,ore of 6ro ;n.,,,o,,a,,
1t may, and probably does, carry on
such business not only in America, but
also. in Europe and Asia. Now. under
the construction which the counsel for
the State seeks to have placed on this
statute, if this English company while
doing business here should at its office
in England enter into an agreement
with other foreign companies for the
purpose Of fixing rates for fire insurance
in Hong Kong or in the city Of Canton,
China, it would at once become liable
to a penalty under our statute. For
counsel for the State contends that the
words amy pool or combination used
in the statute embraced such combina-
ton in any portion Of the world This,
we admit, is the logical result Of their
construction of the law. There is no
middle ground. Either the act applies
only to combinations affecting persons.
property or prices in this State or it's
scope is unlimited
The court further shows that instead
of fostering competition, as the authors
of the measure intended, this law would
actually prevent it by driving the great
insurance companies out of the State

Insurance octopus again they will have
something to guide them.

He does not pretend that there is Only
that it is a heat and energy producer.
1t Is not time yet in this investigation
to decide whether it be a safe and inno-
cent food, as the returns are not yet all
in. When the experts at Harvard, Yale,
and Johns Hopkins after investigation
and experiment shall answer the ques-
ton. What becomes of the heat gener-,

and paralyzing effects of the drug upon
the vasa motor nerves of the skin causes
it to radiate away from the body so
rapidly that the internal and vital Or
gans are not as warm as they were be-
fore the alcohol was administered and
that the heat producing properties are
neutralized by it's narcotic effect upon
the nerves and that therefore nothing
has been gained by its administration
as food. AS early as 1910 the French
physicians, Drs. Dumenil and Dumar-
quay, discovered the fact that alcohol
reduces the temperature instead of in
creasing it and in 1850 Dr. Davis Of
Chicago in carefully conducted series
of experiments found that after taking
ordinary food, whether heterogeneous or
carbonaceous, that the temperature of
the body was always increased, but
that after alcohol either in the form of
fermented or distilled drinks the tenn
perature began to fall, and that the
duration of the reduction of the temper

amount Of alcohol taken. In other
words. the thermometer placed under
the tongue of man after moderate
allowance of alcohol fell from one to
two degrees and after a prolonged spree
from five to six, and in experiments up
on dogs with fatal doses there was a
fall in the temperature Of four or five
degrees at which period death took
place. The Esouimaux. Greenlanders
and Laplanders have practically exper-
fenced that alcohol units them for en-

Il CHANCE FOE US.

1t is rather unfavorable weather for
talk about any kind Of coats, but we
feel sure that many of our readers will
be cheered and encouraged by some re-
marks about coats-of arms which (the
remarks) have come all the way from
Rome, where they know something
about coats of-arms. 1t appears that
there is church in Rome which is to
be decorated with beautiful mosaics
and whoever will give 5000 or more
toward the expense of the work will have
his or her coat-of arms immortalized on
the wall. A circular issued by the
church authorities says: "a difficulty
may arise from the fact that American
families do not use any armorial bear
ings." And it is then pointed out that
that difficulty doesn't amount to much.
"Armorial bearings are only an emblem,
a mark, which a private family create
for themselves, and which become their
own emblem, as their family name is
their own name, and they may use their
armorial bearings in the same way, let
us say as a commercial firm use their
trade mark which is their own exclu-
sive mark, as the firm is their own ex-
elusive firm, in the same way as the
seal of a company, of corporation, of
a public officer, is respectively and ex-
clusiyely the seal thereof" 1t is a mis-
take, the circular declares, to suppose
that coats-of-arms are the exclusive
property of the nobility and their de-
scendants People of title, to be sure,
do have coats-of arms, but that is only
because they chose to do so and then
persuaded somebody to record the Sc
lected device. Anybody can do the same
thing to-day, and the executive commit
tee by whom the appeal is issued has re-
moved all difficulties by ordering its
Heraldry department to supply armorial
bearings for American families that are
unprovided.
If that isn't good news we don't know
what is. New Haven will probably be
well represented on the walls of that
meeting house. Such an opportunity to
become distinguished may not occur
again soon.

A flock of crows Is doing great work
in Baltimore in externinating English
sparrows. This war on the pugnacious
little English immigrant in Baltimore
was begun year ago by three crows,
who forced the sparrows tenanting the
corners in the buildings of the Peabody
Institute to evacuate, This year the
eyicting force numbers fifteen crows,
who daily come up from an adjoining
county and beginning at the Peabody
Institute, gradually work their way
northward. They destroy the eggs and
the nests of the sparrows, and within
few months have pushed the birds
quite distance towards the suburbs
The methodical way and determination
of these crows, Professor Uhler of the
institute says, is remarkable, and the
work they have done is of great benefit
/. to the trees in the squares and parks in
the city The Peabody buildings are
now entirely free from sparrows, and it
is rare thing to find one farther down
town than North avenue, except in the
western section of the city.

HAVANA, Aug. 20.-In view of the
fact that Col. Bacallao, chief of the
secret police, persisted in his declara-
tion that Gen. Juan Isidor Jiminez, the
aspirant to the presidency of Santo
Domingo, was in Havana, either not
having left or having returned the
military authorities telegraphed to
Cienfuegos instructing Capt. Stamper,
collector of customs there, to ascertain
whether Jfminez was on the Menendez
steamer and to take him under arrest
II that should be the case. ,.....e
Just as the steamer was about leav-
ing Cienfuegos, Capt. Stamper located
JiInihez' and arrested him. Jiminez
denounced the arrest as an outrage.
He said he had broken no law and
would not yield except to force Capt
Stamper replied that he was ready to
use force If necessary and Jiminez then
yielded remarking that he did SO only
because he could not help himself.
Senior Frias, mayor of Cienfuegos, re-
fused to make the arrest, claiming that
Gen. Jiminez was an old personal
friend, whom he had known intimately
for years. When Jiminez was taken
into custody, Senor Frias was found
with police inspector in close conver-
saton with Jiminez and the latter's
secretary; it is believed the mayor was
urging him to leave the steamer, to
conceal himself and to wait for a bet
ter opportunity. Capt Stamper in
formed Jiminez that he woul make him
as comfortable as possible, and after
| Jiminez and his secretary had packed
their trunks they were driven, accom-
panied by the chief of police and Capt.
Stamper, to the Union hotel, where
two bedrooms and diningroom were
placed at their disposal
Gen. Jiminez wall be kept under po-
lice charge until further advices are
received from the governor general.
There is much excitement among the
people of Cienfugos over the affair.
The sentiment is generally expressed
that the authorities had no right to
arrest Jiminez an unarmed citizen,
going apparently to Santiago de Cuba,
and the point is even made that if he
were going to San Domingo, he would
only be returning 10 his native country.
Senior Aybor, representative of
Jiminez, left Cienfuegos for Santiago
de Cuba last Tuesday, after remaining
at the former place ten days. 1t is be-
lieved he tried to fit out an expedition,
as small schooner was found lying
outside the harbor, supposed to be
awaiting cargo of ammunition.
Aybor had taken out clearance papers
for Key West several days before.
