PIERRE LoR1LLARp RESIGNS
Retires From the Presidency of the
Tobacco Company.


New York, June 2g-Pierre LorfIIard
mas resigned as president of the P. Loril-
lard Company. His resignation was ae-
cepted at a meeting OF the directors of
the company held on Tuesday. and his sue
cessor was chosen. The P. LoriIIard Com
pany became q part of the Continental To-
baceo Company in 1898.
AT. the. meeting at which Mr. Lcrillard's
resignation was considered Thomas Ma
ioney was elected his successor. Until that
time Mr.. Maloney had been superintendent
of the smoking tobacco department of the
T. Lorillard company's factory.
Strange as 1t may seem no confirmation
OF MIR. Lorillard's resignation could be OBJ
tanned in this city yesterday. notwithstand-
ing visits were made to both the Conti-
mental and American Tobacco companies,
at Ill Fifth Avenue
MIR. Lorillard is said to have given as
MS reason for resigning from the p Lor-
lilard Company that as treasurer OF the
Continental Tobacco Company his duties
were such that he had no opportunity to
attend to the business of the former COM
pany.
1t is said that Mr. LoriIlard intended
resigning from the treasurship of the Con-
tinental Tobacco Company at meeting
that was held last Monday and was sud-
denly adjourned. In conversation with a
friend Mr.. Lorillard said that it was dis
tasteful to him to report at an Office at
O'Clock in the morning and remain there
IN oihcial duties until 'atc in the after
noon: For this reason he proposed resign
ing the treasurship of the Continental To-
bacco Company
Mr.. Lorillard had also said that the
president OF the Continental Tobacco Com
pany, James B. Duke wapted him at bis
desk early In the morning, and he. Mr..
Lorlilard, was not willing to report early

Mrs. Bnrrow,s Sentence.
(From the Chicago Tribune.)

1t is quite likely that Mrs. Barrow was more or
less coereed by her husband. Had She been tried
before the laws relating to married women were
modified as TO free them from various disabil-
ties she would have pleaded that what she did
WAS done under duess. and she might have man
aged to escape punishment. But if Mrs. Barrow
had been true woman no amount Of husbandly
coercion would have induced her to steal another
womans child. While the law draws distinc-
ton the general feeling is that kid
napeT is a greater offender than a male tidnaper
because she knows bcst--or ought to know best
the intolerablc anguish her act fellow
woman. Nobody would have felt, therefore, that
injustice had been done in this case if the wife
had been given as lons sentence As her husband
instead of a shcrte. sentence.

pear to be making trouble. A modus vivcndi
of some kind seems to have established itself on
