BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.



The butter market Is In peculiar condi.
ton this week. No fresh supplies of any con
sequence have been carried over from last
wepk an receipts continue to run light, so
that most of the receivers have no more than
enough to meet the wants OF their regular
trade. Still there is an easier tendency, in
sympathy with the decline of one cent In
for concessions. Aside from this our market
is in IA healthy condition, and until receipts
increase no great decline can be expected.

this week." said a large receiver OF Northern
butter, "hPcause cleaned up all mad last

several of my regular shippers ! sold oil my
best lots of creamery in tubs at % cents on
Monday, but buyers are not wiling TO pay
over 2jis cents today, and some of them are
holding OFF, expecting a 25cent market"
The leading feature of the cheese situation
is the steady advance which has been going
on for the past four days in Liverpool, gam
shillings higher than last week, being sos Cd.
for white and CPS. Tor cOlOred. This has led
to more demand here, ana previous prices
can be more readily Obtalrcd for all offered.

some holders refuse to sell their best lots
under 49, cents. Other good to choice full

suicide INSANITY
50 Decides Justice Nash, Of
New York Supreme Court,
in Weber Case

Rochester n. Y. Oct 1O.-Iustice
Nash, in the supreme court, rendered a
decision on a novel point, touching
upon the question whether a person
committing suicide does so while in
sane or IN his right mind. Frederick
Weber took out a policy for 81. geo on
his life in 1898, and in 1899 drank mu-
riatic acid and died. The Knights Of
Maccabees disputed the claim of
Amelia Weber. the widow, on the
ground that their resolutions provided
that q policy would be invalid IL the
holder committed suicide inside of a
year. Mrs. Weber brought action to
recover, and yesterday Justice Nash
decided that q sane man would not
commit suicide unless be willfully and
Intentionally did so and prepared for
It beforehand. that q man who aid not
do it willfuliy and Intentionally was
insane. a Judgment for the fun face

named Marcus, and captured his sword.
Lieut.. Marcus was a son of Marcellus
Marcus, a wealthy Filipino. who IS
known all over the island and who had
hitherto heen friendly to the Ameri-
cans, though his son was not.
The death of the son aroused the
father to a pitch Of the greatest fury.
and he sworc he would spend every
dollar he owned 90 nvenge HIS death.
despite the fact that young Marcus was
killed in a fair fight. Barton and Zim-
norman say that since then Marcus
has raised q troop OF 1900 and has Of
fered a reward OF 500 for every left
ear Of every member OF the Forty
seventh regiment This offer Is said
to have brought fruit, for every Amer
lean killed was found TO have his left
ear missing and many Chinese and
light colOred FiiipinOs were found TO
have theirs missing also which shows
that the Fiiipinog are not above MAXI
ing money cut of the old mans thirst
for revenge. 1t is stated that Marcus
is trcasuring a string OF more than
100 ears, not more than five OF which
could have been cut from members Of
the Forty-seventh regiment.
