and Trust Company Argued
Before Appellate Division.

Chief Justice Stiness and Justices TIL
linghast and Blodgett today heard the
equity cause OF Elizabeth Il. Ladd ct AL
against Franklin Loan & Trust company
ct ais. on the respondents demurrer.
The bill alleges that Herbert w. Ladd
is the duly appointed guardian of Hope
Ladd, qualified and acting as such; that
in April, 1885, Elizabeth B. Ladd and Her
bert w. Ladd. the latter purporting TO
act as guardian Of Hope Ladd. entered in
to an oral contract with the Franklin
Loan a. Trust company for the loan to
them by said corporation OF the sum of
5000 TO bear interest at the rate OF Is per
cent per annum payable in advance,
which would be secured by the pledge
OF certain pictures and works OF art
which were the property In common of
Elizabeth b. Ladd and Hope Ladd. the
corporal ation being authorized I'm default Of
payment OF principle or interest TO sell
the same. .....
The complainants gave this note. but
advances they assert were not made by
the defendant corporation as promised
and finally I'm order to secure advances
Elizabeth b. Ladd and Herbert w. Ladd
had to further agree that the pictures
should be sold under the charge OF
Frank r. Ladd and Fred w. Dexter, who
were respectively the treasurer and sec
retary of the defendant corporation, they
to receive per cent. OF the proceeds for
conducting the sale. The art works were
sold at the rooms of Williams q Everett

IL is also averred that Herbert w.
Ladd had no authority from the muni-
cipal court TO enter into any contract
with the municipal court to sell the
property OF his ward or to pledge the
same, and that the loan company should
pay over TO him as guardian one-half
the gross receipts, as Hope Ladd has re-
ceived no benefit from the moneys ad-
vanced and should not be at the loss OF
commissions on sale. 1t Is alleged that
Herbert w. Ladd converted the moneys
received on loans from the trust com
pany to his own use.
Briefly the bill Is for an accounting or
all the property sold and OF commissions
paid and Ii asks that the writs signed
by Herbert w. Ladd as guardian be de-
clared null and void.
Elizabeth B. Ladd also asks for one-half
OF the proceeds OF the sale
All the respondents have demurred 10
the bill because Herbert w. Ladd is not

AN UNTRUE STATEMENT.

ern Alaska give up their dead it it will be seen at whatsan awful sac ritice of human life the treasures of that frozen land are being ob- tained,"
 It was with such a remark as this that M. c. D. Bristol. the sen for member of the commercial firm of Bristol & Lindartl. of Nome City. Alaska, who is spending the winter with his wife and family at No. 3961 Windsor place, prefaces any of his remarks about the country where he has been located since the spring of 1898. Mir. Bristol spent q year in mining along the Gouga- rock River after leaving St. Louis. and during the three years he has been located at Nome dealing in mining outfits he has established an acquaintanceship with miners and Indians extending all over the Sumner Peninsula, and has fund of information from this source alone that makes him well quali- fled to speak of the conditions pre- vailing throughout the country.
 Over third of those who leave the camps and towns of the coast in splendid physical condition are never heard of again, and 10 per cent. of those who get back to the point of their departure die while seeking recovery from the hard ships they have cndured." MT. Bristol continued in the course of an interview. The horrors of the Sumner Peninsula. in which is To- cated Nome City, are almost un believable in the United States. Of every two men who leave this coun- try to prospect up there it is safe to say that only one will return alive. and it is safe to say that even the dead body of the other may never be found unless he has died on the coast" St.Louis Globe-Democrat.
 Such rot as the above is a islander on Alaska. and a fabrication that no sane man should believe. It sounds like the story of a grub-staked man who came to Alaska. sat down in his tent, ate up his provisions, and than went home and had to in- vent some awful story of hardships and misfortune in order to pacify the party who put up for the ex- penses of the trip.
 Many persons in Alaska, espec- tally the prospector, have no per manent residence or near friends here, and often when they leave camp, there is no reason for their writing back to any one, of their whereabouts, and consequently they are not heard of. again in the camp they left. That is no indi- cation that they have met with tai accident or lost their life on the trail.
 The statement that ''of every two men who leave this country (the States) to prospect up there it is safe to say that only one will return alive" is most rediculous and false. statement, and shows la mentable lack of knowledge of prevailing conditions here.
 There are hardships here, as there are in all new countries, but it is doubtful if ten per cent. of those who come here to prospect loose their lives on account of these. hardships. There is no healthier country than Alaska and the death rate is very small. Nearly all the accidental deaths or the loss of life from the supposed hardships of this country are caused from the lack of judgment, recklesness, or lack of knowledge of the prevalent conditions by those who loose their lives.

one of her toes against piece
of furniture and made a bruise
that was very painful. But she

during the recess between that
and church services, she and
other ladies were gathered
around one of the registers
warming, when the following
dialogue between Mrs. G. and a
friend occurred:
Mrs, G: Oh, how my foot
hurts. You don't know how
painful it is.
Friend: 7 am very sorry
about it. Don't you know L

Mrs. G: Why, I thought 1

Friend: How long have you
had that foot?
