CHOSEN FRIENDS.

The Chosen Friends met Wednes- day night and the idea was suggested that the councils of Connecticut get together and organize an order of their own. says the Meriden Record. The Chosen Friends was flourishing order in this state and glance at the books of the state council show that the various councils have D i'd in over $S4, ,O0O in excess of what has been received in death claims. The fact in itself, some of the members think, is a good argument in favor of an independent order in Connecticut. There are nearly 2.OOO members of the Chosen Friends ill Connecticut, a Morning Record reporter was in- formed, and it was said that an in- sur nee. plan could be arranged on this basis, with good indications of success. The matter will undoubted- ly be laid before the leading lights of the order in this state and their opinion secured. William s. Stapley, George L. Ellsbree, Dewitt F. Ford, and Sam uel M. Camp were appointed a con- mittee to investigate the Fraternal Benefit league or any plan they deem best for the members of the order to join. The council voted all bills to be paid to January 1.

AMONG THE ANDES INDIANS.
An American Trader Returns to New
 York With Much Merchandise.


 New York, Jan 1O.-George B. Her zig, who for several months has been trading with the Imcha and Amana Indians of the Andes, who spend most of their lives in trapping Chinchillas whose fur forms valuable article of commerce, has returned to New York on the steamship Niagara. Known probably to more members of the two tribes than any other white man, he has managed during his tour to meet nearly all Of his semi-savage ac quaintances, with the result that the title to the bulk of the Chinchilla skins in the Bolivian Andes is at his disposal.
 He gathered in the skins, it seems, to the total of 15,OOO dozen represent ing an outlay of about 5000 pesos, or S40O. .O0O in American money. He says that the Indians, in time of peace or when there is a dearth of potato whiskey.>are friendly to the stranger, but the effect of too much of the potato drink turns them into relent- less foes. and cannibals as well. A young American engineer named Mac Donald, so Mir Herzig says, was slaughtered and eaten by them dur ing one of their orgies.

swINDLED INSURANCE MEN.
Warrants Out For the Arrest of Four
 Persons.

New York, Jan 1O.-The Evening Journal to-day says warrants have been issued for the arrest of four per sons who are accused of swindling the Colonial Insurance company of Jersey City, by securing insurance on the lives of persons about to die, and by other methods. The four men for whom warrants were issued in clude q newspaper editor, the benefi- ciary under one policy, q medical ex- aminer, an, undertaken, and a prize fighter, who acted as agent for the company. The Evening Journal says: Tt is said that the Colonial Insurance company has been swindled out of large sums of money secured on bogus policies and that there has been wholesale traffic in dead bodies between Bellevue hospital in this city and certain undertaking establish ment in Union Hill, N. J.
 The first clew to the methods of the plotters was discovered shortly after the death of one Thomas Moran, who died of consumption in October of last year.
 Moran had q policy with the Col onial company for $27O and this sum was paid to the beneficiary.
 Just after the death of Moran people in Union Hill who had known the man for years were surprised to know that he left insurance. Moran had been suffering with consumption for months before his policy was wcitten.
 'Moran's family history was enough to keep him out of any in surance company in the country. to say nothing of his personal traits. Both paternal and maternal parents had died of tuberculosis, and there were other deaths in the family from the same cause.
 ''When the insurance people had paid the amount of Moran's policy to the beneficiary a search of the com pany's books was made, and it was discovered that not one or two, but many policies had been written for persons whose identity was doubtful and many times entirely lacking.
 Ut is true dead bodies had been placed in evidence whenever claims were made, but it has been discover ed that these bodies were, nothing more nor less than common hospital bodies which had been brought into Union Hill. many of them from Belle vue, for the purpose of aiding in- surance swindlers in obtaining their plunder.''

"A STEAMER DISABLED.
Encountered Bad Weather West of
 the Irish Coast


 Queenstown, Jan 1O.-The Hamburg American line steamer Frisia, Captain Schmidt, from Hamburg December 29 for Boston and Portland, Me, which was reported off Brownhead last night returning, arrived here at o'clock this morning. Her machinery is de- ranged.
 The Frisia has also sustained con- siderable deck damage and had large holes in both her quarters and consid- erable water in No 4 hold. It is feared her cargo is damaged.
 She encountered fearful weather when about GOO miles west of the Irish coast. She rolled heavily and her spare propeller tail shaft, which was secured on her main deck. broke loose and smashed through several plates. The shaft also knocked hole in the deck and q portion of it crashed into No hold. The rest rolled over- board. The vessel was in the greatest danger for several hours. The repairs will probably necessitate the Frisia being docked here.

Nearly 100000 of Them Are
 Daily Drilling.
THEY HAVE MODERN RIFLES.

The Feeling Is Bitter Against The Allies and The Chinamen Think
 They Can Win In Eighth Hung
 Chang Looking For Favorable Re- ply.
 Pekin, Jan 9-A Chinaman from Shian Flu where the court is at pres- ent, says that within the city 5000 Chinese troops are drilling continu- ousfy, the majority of them being armed with modern rifles. He says that the feeling of the people there is bitterly anti-foreign and that they peleNe that if they can meet the allies in open fight they can defeat them. The ministers are consider aDly astonished over the Chinese grant 10 Russia Of concession north Of the Pei Ho at Tien Tsin as compared with the British and French con cesslons combined. The grant, ac- cordlng to the Russians, was made voluntarily for services in endeavor- ing to bring about peace. The minis- ters think that the concession consti- tutes good pay when considered in ad- d1tlon to the annexation of all Man churia. Ii Hung Chang believes that he will receive a favorable reply re- garding the signing of an agreement to-morrow. Senor Cologan. the Span- ish minister, thinks that the negotia- tlons will commence at Pekin. possibly ending in Europe. NJ.

THAT BASE BALL WAR
Technically If Not Actually Declared
 By American League.

Chicago, Jan 1O.-The Times-Herald this morning said: War, technically if not actually, has been declared by the American Base Ball league against the National, according to Charles H. Ebbitts, the Brooklyn magnate. He says that the occupation by Ban John sons forces of Philadelphia. Washing ton and Baltimore is in violation of treaty, and if persisted in will lead to q fight. Ebbitts. who is prominent in bowling as well as in base ball, is here attending the National bowling tourney.
 As Ebbitts sees it. there will really not be a fight, because he thinks the American league is not vested with the proper strength for q bout, but he declares that a strong and dangerous game of bluff is being played, and that the sooner it is "called'' the better it will be for the sport.

FAMILY JARS.
Mrs Trudeau Tells Her Side of the

Story.
 Mrs CIeophas Trudeau, of Grand. view Heights, who has had some trouble With her husband over religion, which resulted in the latter leaving for parts unknown. called at the Democrat office today and stated that she de- sired to correct q false impression that had crept- into the public mind, that is, that she had been converted from Catholicism to the Baptist creed through the influence of Attorney Wood. She was q Baptist, so she stated, for five years before she ever knew MT Wood, and changed her re- lig1on: of her own free will. Her hus- band, she claimed, carried so much insurance on his father that it took nearly all his earnings to pay tLa as- SesSmentS and on this account he rave but mighty little to the maintenance of the family. Mrs Trudeau appears to be quite young for the mother of eight children, but she has lots O.. courage, and looks as though she is not at all biased at having to fight her way through the world singlehand- ed. She thought her husband had not shown the right spirit, any way, and stated that if he were as much con cerned in the spiritual and temporal welfare of his children as he pretend ed to have been he would not have turned his back upon them, Knowing that they had no bread and no one to instruct them in the religion he pro- fessed to be so anxious to have them follow. They had a fair start, but now everything is gone to the winds The home has been taken by the mortagee. Of course they did not have much equity in it, but if they had pulled to- gether they would have paid for it in time, the same as others. Without any intention whatever of taking sides on the question it is no harm to saw that after hearing both sides one is forced to the conclusion that the de- mon of discord got control of the house and where this happens the property soon changes hands and the Lord only knows what becomes of the family. the children especially, who usually grow up with no respect for any church or creed. MT and Mrs Trudeau have been married about twenty-five years and until recently appeared tu be very happy couple, but if what the woman says be true they were mismated, for they were constantly at war with each other. And yet one would not think so. Mr Trudeau has the reputation of being man of good habits and his wife looks like a pleas ant, cheerful woman. What was it. then, that drove them apart after eight children had been born to them? Was it religion? No! This is a point GIT which there is no room for dispute among believers of different creeds.

New York, Jan 1O.-The Maritime as- eociation of the port of New York, and the New York board of trade and transportation have adopted resolu- tions urging congress to take early ac- lion to complete the breakwater at Point Judies.
