An Attorney Temporarily Embar-
raised by Tender of Money.


raised by Tender of Money.
The divorce suit of Sarah Courtney
against her husband, John s. Courtney, in
Judge Aliens court yesterday, ended in an
amusing manner. The defendant failed to
appear and the divorce was granted. When
the Judge made this announcement Attor-
ney w. w. Herod turned to Mrs. Courtney
and said, Now, Mrs. Courtney, you are a
free woman" A smile spread over the
woman's face. She at once took some bills
out Of her purse and offered them to the at
torney in open court. He was in the act
of taking the money when Mrs. Courtneys
mother called halt. She said: Hold on,
there; don't you give him that money until
You get a written receipt in advance" The
court and everybody in the room laughed,
while the attorney looked embarrassed.
Judge Allen remarked that she must be a
clever business woman. and the affairs of
the attorney and client were settled accord
ing TO the dictates of the older adviser.
In the suit of John Undericht against his
wife, Mary Undericht, for divorce and
restraining order TO prevent his wife from
molesting him, Judge Allen denied the lat
ter plea and issued a restraining order
against both man and wife enjoining them
from interfering with each other.

the purpose of assisting in the settlement
of the strike among the six hundred en-
ployes of the Evansville Cotton Manufac-
turing Company. Mr.. Mccormack. Mr..
Schmid's associate commissioner, said that
this strike would. in all probability. have
been settled sooner but for the fact that
the company has been installing a large
amount of new machinery, which necessi-
tated the closing down of the factory for
several months.

MR.. WATKINS'S PARTNER
SELLS A HALF INTEREST IN THE
CLUB TO CHARLES RUsCHAUPT.
Hereafter Watkins VIII Devote All
His Time to the Players
Shooting Scores.

Charles F. Ruschaupt now owns half
interest in the Indianapolis Baseball Club
and will hereafter serve in the capacity of
secretary and treasurer of the club. The
deal, which talked about a few weeks
ago, was finally consummated yesterday,
and w. H. Watkins now has an equal part
ner in the baseball business in this city.
Mr.. Ruschaupt and Mr.. Watkins have es-
tablished permanent headquarters In the
When building-Room H-where they will
look after their baseball interests. They
also own the programme privileges at the
Park and Grand theaters and will be busy
in the city all of the winter In speaking
of the change made in the ownership of
the club Mr. Watkins said last night:
with Mr. Ruschaupt now a partner l
will be able next season to devote my time
to the team. During the season just closed
1 was handicapped by having to look after
the business end of the club as we'll as the
team. and as a consequence the team got
away from me for while and did not
have the time to look after the players as
I will next season. In 1901 Mr.. Ruschaupt
will relieve me of the business duties and
I will devote my entire time to the players
with the hope that the finish of the sea-
son next fall will see Indianapolis further
UP the line than the club finished this year.
This season / will break about even. |
have not figured all my expenses and do
not know exactly what the books will
show. but there will be a small balance
on the profit side. 1t may be little too
early TO talk about changes In the team
next year, but will say that the Indianap-
oils club will be strengthened at every
weak position, and my aim this winter
will be to have lines out for talent to i'm
prove the playing strength of the team.
There have been reports that Hogriever
would not be with the Indianapolis club
next season, but 1 will say that he will
surely wear an indianapolis uniform next
season. Hogriever is scrappy player.
He was handicapped this season in his
work. but next year there will be changes
made which will give Hogriever an op-
portunity to play the kind of ball which he
is capable of putting up"
Mr.. Watkins would not announce the
price paid by Mr.. Ruschaupt for half in
terest in the club. Mr.. Ruschaupt has
sold his refreshment privileges at the Pitts
burg ball park and will be in Indianapolis
next season. The Indianapolis club will
lose Magoon and Hartsel. but they will De
succeeded by good men. There will no
doubt be several trades made by Manager
Watkins the coming winter and several
new faces will be seen In Indianapolis uni
forms next year.

BEN FRANKLIN's OPINION.
Life Insurance, and Its Eminent In
dorser of n Century Ago.

dOrser of Century Ago.
BENJAMIN Franklin's inherent knowledge
and appreciation of important truths, as
vet almost unknown to the world Of his
day. was astonishing. Though man of the
soundest sense and practical to an extreme
degree his mind was still in the future.
and he lived century ahead of his age.
He understood the benefits of printing and
the possibilities of newspaper power better
than any of his contemporaries. His ex-
periments with electricity and estimate of
its future usefulness are familiar to all.
In the science of government he was SO
correct in theory that the Nation has since
seemed to have followed his ideas and an
ticipations as closely as a navigator might
a well-proved chart.
A curious instance of his almost infallible
natural judgment is seen in his apprecia-
ton Of she worth Of life insurance. In his
day there were none of the organizations
which have grown into such mighty worth
and usefulness in our time. The old coun-
try furnished nearly everything in the way
of insurance companies. and those were, as
yet experimental. possessing little of the
value which, under American experience
and energy. has now developed into sys-
tenn so grand and beneficent. The public of
F'ranklin'S day viewed the idea rather as
a possibly impious meddling with destiny,
or else with utter Indifference to its i'm
portance and advantages Not so the great
philosopher himself, for this is what he
said of 1t then:
"a policy of life insurance is the cheapest
and safest mode OF making a certain pro-
vision for ones family. 1t is strange
anomaly that men should be careful to in
sure their houses their furniture, their
ships their merchandise, and yet neglect
TO insure their lves-surely the most i'm
portant of all To their families and far
more subject to loss
But IL is doubtful If even Franklins
prophetic mind could have foreseen the
imposing future of life insurance In his
native land. In little over century from
the time in which he so justly criticised
people for falling to understand its neces-
sfty the interest has grown to a vastness
commensurate with the progress of the
Nation itself, and more than four million
policy holders now attest the Importance of
what was so intuitively clear TO him a
hundred years ago. The insurance In force
is over 5000, 000. 0o0 or at the rate of nearly
s. per capita for every human being on the
face OF the earth.
The country has well outlived Franklin's
structure upon its caring better for the loss
of property than the loss of life, as much
more money is now paid out each year for
losses by the life than by the Gre compa-
MES though the latter disburse great sums
annually. So extensive IL the business of
responsibility of their management and so
momentous the trusts involved that were
Benjamin Franklin now among the living
he might possibly find fair scope for his
ability as the head Of an American life
insurance company.
