The automobile races were held at
Newport. yesterday, In the presence of
a crowd OF from 5000 to 10000 people OF all
sorts and conditions. The conditions for
reaching AquIdneck Park were not of the
best. Those who rode out in their own
vehicles encountered more dust In Md
dletown than they knew was there.
Those who went out on the electrics
had either to walk through the dust or
nay an exorbltant price for a ride through
the dust. Those who went out on the
steam cars had fairly long walk, but
practically no dust.
The track had not been watered, and
the dust raised by the big machines In
racing was sitting. In the first race
the driver of the electric machine had
10 stop at one time because he could

Was Ne nypnotlred?

1t begins to look as if every ad-
vanced discovery in science, ethics
or isms tends to bring increased
hazards to life insurance. 1t has
not been long since the London
life offices were protesting against
the Christian Science propaganda
and its apostles for tinkering with
their policy holders and causing
them to pay claims which could
have been saved by little medical
treatment. Now comes mystic,
hazy hypnotism to assist in de-
frauding life companies. 1t is
claimed that Thomas Chase, of
Milligan, Tenn, who is supposed
to have died on Feb. 18th, 1899,
with insurance of $4,000 on his
life, did not really die at all, but
was hypnotized by skillful con-

The Supreme Court of Ohio has
decided a case that is interesting
to all fraternal organizations. 1t
was a case where a member of a
fraternal society died leaving his
certificate payable to his wife, and
it so happened that before the
death of the brother, the wife had
procured a divorce from him, yet
he neglected to have his benefc-
iary changed. He left surviving
him three children, and when the
claim was made for the beneficiary
fund by the divorced wife, the
Grand Lodge resisted the claim.
The children were admitted into
the case as parties interested. The
case did not go to trial upon the
issue between the Grand Lodge
and the divorced wife, the court
holding that on the case made by
the pleading, the Grand Lodges
answer set forth the fact that the
beneficiary named in the certi6-
cate was a divorced wife, and that
fact not being denied by the plain
tiff, the said divorced wife, the
court held, that having procured
divorce she was not party in
terested in the suit and could not
maintain any action against the
organization upon the certificate

federate, and the body thus made
to assume the rigidity of corpse.
1t is further alleged that the hyp-
notist colluded with the beneficiary
to spirit away the entranced Chase
and to bury in his stead a wax
figure. The truth or falsity OF
this will soon appear, as the Mu-
tual Life of New York has some of
its best detective talent on the case
and has enjoined the banks where
in the $4,000 paid by it has been
deposited. The leading attorney
in the case says: 1--WE hope to
return to this good woman her good
husband, over whose corpse she
shed not a tear when he was
buried" Chase was a well-to-do
citizen in that community, and the
case is exciting considerable in

A StoCkholder.

A member of fraternal Order
is purely and simply stockholder
in such Order. He aids in select
ing, through his representatives
in the Supreme Lodge, few Off
GERS to transact certain specified
duties. The growth of the bust
ness, its welfare and prosperity,
is as much in the hands of a men,
Der as stockholder as it is in that
of any officer. If the stockholders
all work and further the interests
of the business as they would in
regular business association at
home, the Order would grow and
prosper. If they don't it suffers
just in that degree. Anything a
man pays his money into he should
assist. No management of any
fraternal Order can make it sue
ceed without the assistance of the
membership. The officers are not
the Order, but only its servants.
The whole obligation of the well
fare of the Order cannot be thrown
on their shoulders. Indeed, but
an exceedingly small portion
therof can they carry.-Seleai

1t usually happens that where
there has been a very large in
crease there will be many suspen-
sions. The statistics of every
jurisdiction show that by far the
largest percentage of suspensions
takes place in the first and second
year of membership. If mem
Der can be induced to remain after
the third year there is very little
chance that he will ever become
suspended. This teaches the wis
dom of looking after the new
members to see that none of them
become suspended.

The 6iosmy 0stisok Of Psst-Mertea Assess
meatlsm.

The following is clipped from
the Modern Woodmen 1t is a
frank confession that the cost will
increase as the society grows older,
and yet no provision is made to
lay by fund to meet the increas-
ed death rate when it comes. The
article is in part as follows:
1--WE will admit that this sum is
below the actual cost, as based
upon the mortuary tables, and is
much less than other insurance
companies have carried insurance
for. We would not insult the in
telligence of our readers that the
Modern Woodmen of America can
always maintain this low rate. No
other society has ever been able to
do so. In time, we believe, the
cost will increase. The statistics
of insurance as compiled by ex-
perienced actuaries, would indicate
that ten dollars per annum is near
er the true rate, but the Modern
Woodman has for fifteen years
been making a wonderful record
and furnishing new statistics for
the careful student of fraternal in
surance. How to meet the require
ments of the day, when our growth
ceases to be sufficient to keep
down the age rate, is a problem
which our society will have the
ability and courage to meet when
the time comes"
This Order, which is good one
in its way, (and of which we are a
member) having no reserve or
emergency fund, the outlook for
the future is indeed gloomy one,
and if not remedied soon, there
will come a time"
The time may not come for an
other fifteen years, but there will
come time" when they will wish
they had charged more for each
assessment, and then wish they
accumulated the unsued amount
in reserve fund to pay for the
deaths of old members. A mush-
room growth does not insure per
petuity, and a fraternal insurance
society that charges less than the
mortality element cannot endure.
Goods cannot be sold for less than
they cost and the firm be pros
porous. A reserve fund is a
necessity, as all should understand;
if you wish your insurance to be
worth anything in the future.-B.

HAVE TO WALK THE PLANK.

The Republicans permit no man to
hold office who is not sllbservient to the
trusts. In Ohio the Attorney General
who prosecuted the Standard Oil trust
was refused denomination, and NOW
the best local judge in Philadelphia has
been denied a denomination because he
refused to dismiss the criminal complaint
against Quay upon the charge of con
spiracy with bank funds. Quay de-
mands the head of every man who
didn't violate his oath to shield him, and
gets it. 1t is sad thought THAT great
States like Pennsylvania and Ohio are
dominated by small and corrupt men
who can kill and make alive. Is it any
wonder that as Republic we spit upon
the teachings of the fathers when men
like Hanna and Quay con.rOl every
public office and cruelty any man who
performs his sworn duties?.

THE S. A. L. EXTENSION.

There will be general qualification that
Judge Waddill declined to issue the III
junction against the Seaboard consolida-
ton. One by one the distractions put
in the way of the merging of these roads
has been put out of the way. Another
application for an. injunction is now
pending before Judge Speer, i'll Georgia.
If Ryan fails there, it may be that he
and his associates will desist from their
tactics and let the consolidation take
legal effect without further delay.
The people of the whole South are
deeply interested in the consolidation of
the Seaboard as an Independent line, for
the danger of the absorption of all the
lines into one monopoly. is one that would
be hurtful at just this time of growing
Southern development. There is business
enough for the Atlantic Coast Line. the
Southern. and the Seaboard Air Line.
and in their growth and success as indie
pendent lines much of the development
Of the South is involved.

High Price For Cotton Seed.

\ gentleman who was in the city from
the country yesterday said that in some
sections farmers are now receiving 4
handsome price for their cotton seed
and many of them who have hitherto
held the raw product for fertiliZng ma.
terial, are disposing of it to the mills
In several sections. he said. where indie
pendent mills and those of the trust are
competitive buyers, the price has ranged
as high as 221a cents per bushel. Under
normal conditions, TOO, the prices have
been very satisfactory to the farmer this
year and many of them have either sold
or exchanged for meal.
