kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

REORGANIZED ARMY,
AppOin tments' of Line Officers Ex-
pected Soon.

It is expected that the President will an
nounce the appointments Of the line Off
GERS who will complete the personnel of the
reorganized army in a day or two. There
are 5SS appointments to be made under the
reorganization act all in the line, and the
great majority in the lower grade, namely.
the first and second lieutenants. The task
of selection from among the numerous can
didates has been exceptionally difficult.
The animating purpose has been to reward
deserving officers and men now in the VOL
unteer army for services in the past, while
at the same time making sure that the ma
terial thus added to the United States army
will be sound in quality and contain within
itself the making of officers of higher
grades hereafter.
The Secretary has also had regard to the
geographical demands, and it, will appear
from the lists that the appointments have
been distributed in. close Proclamation to
the representation of the various states in
Congress. An interesting fact is that a
third of the new appointees are men who
are now in the ranks-non-commission
officers and privates-and have received the
commendation of their superior officers, a
condition insisted upon in all cases.

THE TEXAS INSURANCE LAW.
Question of It's COnstitutiOnaIityB Be-
fore the Supreme Court.


Arguments were today heard in the
United States Supreme Court in the case
of the Northwestern Life Assurance Com
pany, plaintiff in error, against Sweete
Villeneuve. The case came to the Supreme
Court from the circuit court of the United
States for the western district of Texas.
In this case the evidence showed the in
surance company resisted payment of the
full amount of the 5000 policy, first offer
ing to return to the beneficiary So. TO- the
amount of premius paid by the insured;
then $50 rather than have suit, and later
$1,000. The company took this stand on
the ground that the insured had made
misrepresentation in statements relating to
his habits in respect to the use of alcoholic
ents at death and about his applications for
other insurance. which had been refused
by other companies
The case involved the constitutional ques-
ton respecting the validity of Texas legis-
lation imposing on insurance companies
liability for damages and attorneys fees
which in this case aggregated $3.50. The
occurs and the life or health insurance
company liable shall fail to pay the policy
within the time specified in it after demand
has been made, in addition to the amount
of loss II per cent damages on the pay
ment of the loss, together with reasonable
attorneys fees for prosecution and colIec-
ton. shall be paid. The circuit court of
Texas upheld the policy and allowed these
additional payments to the beneficiary
Counsel for the plaintiff argues that Texas
had no right to pass such law, and that
it is unconstitutional

ROPE AND THYME INDUSTRY.
VT. Ia!f"r Tells of the Eject of the
spanish War on It,

Mr. Joseph G. Taylor, secretary of the
standard Rope and Irvine Company, was
TO-DAY before the Industrial commission at
the Bliss building and talked of the bust
ness in which he is engaged.
The war with Spain had a great effect on
the manufacture of binders Irvine, he said.
Before that 40 per cent of the material
going in such Irvine was Manila hemp. At
ter the war had started not more than .
per cent of it was from the Philippines. The
other material used was sisal. from Central
America. Mr.. Taylor said there is not
rope or Irvine manufacturer in this coun-
try who has made cent in the last twelve
months as manufacturer Whatever
money the manufacturers have made has
been from speculation in hemp.
When the ports of the Philippines were
closed by the Spanish war, the witness said
the price of Manila hemp went I'D from
about to 13 or II cents. The Boston peo-
pie in the cOrdage business, he said. wanted
the ports to remain closed, while his people
in New York wanted them opened
The Boston people" he said, were in
communication with the Secretary of War
and so were we. but on different lines"
He was asked why the Boston people
wanted the ports kept closed.
Il suppose they had large stock of
hemp on hand he replied. I'VE were Just
as patriotic as they. but We hadn't enough
hemp and wanted the prices to go down.
so We wanted the ports opened"
The witness did not think any further
economies could be made in the rope and
Irvine business The economies of cOmbi-
nation are largely due to the combining of
skill and distributing the business in great
plants so that each could do the part for
which it is best adapted.
After today there will be no more testi-
mony taken by the commission until next
month

Armor Plate Abroad.

The Neuer Preussischen Kreuz Zeftung
Berlin, February q, 1901, contains some
details as to the manufacture and cost Of
armor for the vessels of the German navy
The facts are not of much technical value
and the reliability of the information Is
uncertain, but the general details appear
to be correct. The price paid Is of special
interest, $547 per ton, which is, however,
for the most difficult and costly shapes.
1t is said that the Terni armor plate is as
good as the Krupp for all practical pur-
poses. Their experiments have satisfied
them as to this fact, but the Terni works
demand very high price, and the Italian
government is convinced that TERM could
afford, because of their economic water
power. to produce the armor at much less
cost than what they demand, but as they
have a monopoly they keep the price up to
just little less than that asked by krupp
