A QUESTION OF PREFERENCE.
Becomes of Moment in the Neidling-
err, Rabun 4 Nell Case.


The first meeting of the creditors of the
bankrupt firm of Neidhnger, Rabun &
Nell was held yesterday afternoon at the
office of Referee in Bankruptcy
A. H. MacDonell. The afternoon
was taken up in the proof of
The creditors were not able to agree and
the referee finally appointed Mr.. w. p.
Hardee.
The first tilt at the meeting was over the
status of the preferred creditors, the Chat
ham, Germania and Southern Banks. The
RUE of practice an bankruptcy is that such
creditors must surrender their preferences
before they can participate in the creditors
meetings, and this was finally compro-
missed by permitting the banks TO prove
their claims for whatever of their debts
would remain unpaid, after the dlstribu-
ton of the fund derived from the sale of
the securities held by them under fore
closure proceedings and amounting to
about $1,000. This fund is now held up in
the registry Of the Superior Court, upon
an application for an injunction against its
distribution that has been filed by some of
the creditors.
The question whether or not the secur-
ing of the banks is such a preference as is
declared to be Illegal by the bankruptcy
law viii have to be decided before the
fund in the Superior Court can be distrib-
uted. If it was not an act of preference,
then the banks will get the whole fund;
II it was, then the fund will be distributed
pro rata among all of the creditors.
The selection of a trustee was the next
matter that the meeting considered. To
elect requires majority of the creditors,
in number and in the amount of claims
that they hold This double barrelled
method of decision was not practicable
as the banks, representing a majority of
the claims in amount, voted for Mr.. E. L.
Neidlinger and the rest of the creditors,
the majority in number, voting for Mr..
w. p. Hardee. AS it soon became evident
that no choice was possible in the method
then being tried, the selection devolved
upon the referee, who appointed Mr.. Har-
dee His bond was fixed for the present
at $500.

he Particular.

If there is anything you should be ns,.
ticular about it is you food. 1t sbopd h.
good food in the first place-not refuse
waste, or something not wanted by som.
other man-not something left over-pl,k.
ings. In the next place it should be mat
ter of great concern to you, as to its pran-
aration-its cooking. Bad cooking is Al
the bottom of sickness. You should ro,
be afraid of cost when it comes TO yor,
health. You may be poor-sickness makes
you poorer. Hicks has made good cooklng
a study in his business. He has founS
out the way to do 1t. His meats and ev.
erything entering into the cooking Of food
is done scientifically This has made hi,
restaurant famous. Some wonder WIN
they enjoy a steak more at Hicks than
elsewhere, or why they can eat some veg.
etables and not be sick; or why his des.
sert does not fetch dyspepsia.
The reason is plain.
II is a great rest, even once a week. for
a person to eat well prepared food. Yol

WORK OF THE FENDER.
Lives of Two Children in brooklyn
Saved by the Device.

NO HI bEOOhAy II
Saved by the Device.
Vice President FAN Of the street rail-
way company left for New York yester
day. Mr.. Fail will doubtless discover
while North that tenders are used upon
the Brooklyn trolley cars and doubtless
upon those of New York also. If he ex-
tends his tour he may find that tenders
are used upon the street cars of other
large cities, notably st. Paul and Minne-
apols. If he goes over into Canada he
will also find tenders in use on the cars
In Montreal and Quebec.
Two instances of the value of tenders in
saving life occurred in Brooklyn in one
day last week. In one instance, three
little children attempted TO cross the
street in front of a moving troll
ley car. The two younger children were
picked up in the fender and carried safely
until the car stopped The third, a little
girl, was thrown to the pavement, the
fender passing over her. She was caught
in the forward truck of the car and fatal
~ injured before the car could be stop
ped. The other instance occurred in q
similar manner. A little girl was cross
ing the street when she was struck by
car and thrown into the fender. Had
she remained still she would have been
safe, but in her fright she struggled to
get out of the fender and fell head first
under the whee.s. Even with a saving
of two lives out of four, the fender has
a big percentage to its credit, and the &c
counts of the second accident show that
the other child might have been saved
had it not been for her own error.

EQUITY VS.. TONTINE.
An Important Case Decided by the
New York Courts.

The courts decision in New York state
recently, affecting one of the largest COM
panies in this country, simply verifes
what we have been saying in these col
umns off and on for the past five years
The suit was brought by policy-holder
who was dissatisfied with the settlement
offered him when his policy had complet-
ed the "Tontine" period, and the court
sustaifs his claim. The whole trouble is
that the '4Tontiue, a." or deferred dividend
plan of life insurance, all earnings made
by the company are retained until the
completion of the period, generally twenty
years. Lapse of policy, death WITHIN the
period, change of insurance or a reduc-
ton in the amount of the policy forfelts
all accrued dividends. These are suppos-
ed 90 to be divided among those who i've
and carry their policies to the end of the
period. These policies are always worded
in such a manner, however, as to make
it discretionary with the company as 20
how much, or how little, they will pay
when the policy natures, and just there Is
where the matter hinges. No such ques-
ton or state of affairs can ever be brought
or exist under the laws of Massachusetts,
for, after providing for the legal reserve,
winch Is LOT the pTOleCtfOu Oh It's pOhCieS
and the foundation rock, which makes the
insurance safe and sure, the law allows
Massachusetts companies only a surplus
equal to 10 per cent. of the reserve, and
requires that all surplus in excess of said
10 per cent. shall be returned to policy
holders giving to each the just proportion
that he has by his policy contributed.
No waiting twenty years. but in the Mas
sachusetts Mutual you get your equitable
share of the surplus every year There
are other good laws in the state of Mas
sachusetts which we will gladly send you
extracts of, together with specimen policy
or other interesting literature, If you will

MONEY WAS COUNTERFEIT.
Negro Boy Attempted to Pass Bad
Five-DOIIar Gold Piece.

Five-DOIIar Gold Piece.
A negro boy attempted to pass a coun-
terfeit IS gold piece at knights pharmacy
late yesterday afternoon. Mr.. w. T.
knight recognized the character of the
coin and told the boy that it was counter
felt The boy claimed to have cashed a
check at the Citizens Bank and produced
three other gold pieces, which he said he
had received from the bank. These three
pieces were good.
The boy showed such little interest in the
counterfeit that Mr.. knight had him ar
rested on suspicion. After an investiga-
ton at the barracks, however, he was re-
leased. Mr.. knights idea is that the boy
and another, who was seen with him, are
engaged in passing counterfeit money, and
that the three genuine gold pieces are car
ried as a blind. If this be the game it is
likely that the game viii be tried else
where.
