HEAVY FINES RENTED.
General Chaffee Acts in Case of Men Con
yicted of Receiving Stolen Stores.

General Chaffee has remitted the heavy
fines imposed uI.cn Metcalf E. Clarke and
Charles F. Boldt, civilians, convicted In
Manila, nearly year ago, of purchasing
stolen commissGry stores from employees
of the Subsistence Department.
Both men were tried before a military
commission. 1t was claimed that these
men we're connected with the alleged COM
nlssary frauds, which involved severa!
officers and enlisted men. They were
each sentenced to a years Imprisonment
and a fine of S1,5O0 imposed on Clarke.
Boldt was fined $1 600.
In reviewing the cases, Gen. George W.
Davis remarked that he did not think
they realized the gravity of their Of
fences, and RENTED the sentences of i'm
prisonment and $500 of the fine imposed
on Clarke. Since then the cases were re-
viewed by the judge advocate of the di-
vision of the Philippines. and it is upon
his recommendation that General Chaffee
has remitted the fines. r

FALSE ANTIQUES.
More Fraudulent Than Genuine Speci-
mems Sold in Paris.

In the way OF carved furniture l an
afraid that there are more fraudulent an
tidues than genuine in the Paris shops
today There is one dealer in particular
who. when closely questioned as to the
origin of certain Louis XIV sideboards and
tables he has for sale. will tell you they
come from the chateau of Chenonceaux,
the famous little palace where the fair
Diane de Poitiers once lived and loved:
and in proof of it he will show you bill
OF sale duly stamped and authenticated,
OF a certain lot of furniture sold to him in
1863 from the chateau. Hundreds of per-
sons doubtless many Americans among
! them have bought-thosea aCbenonceauX ia
bles and buffets, and have seen that pre-
cious document. which. no doubt, is good
as far as 1t goes. Unfortunately. accord
ing to a rival dealer, that bill of sale
covered only two sideboards and three ia
bles from Chenonceaux. notwithstanding
which Chenonceaux tables and chairs have
been pouring forth from the little shop
in a steady stream for the last twenty
years-enough to freight an ocean steam
ship The widows cruise of oil was moth
ing to it. do not doubt that If were
to order fifty Chenonceaux tables tomor-
row the proprietor of the shop would
agree with twinkle of intelligence, to
fill the order within reasonable time.
Some time ago the neighbors OF GER
tain pretty furniture dealer in London
complained OF the constant pistol shooting
in the tradesmans back yard. Hailed be-
fore a magistrate. the man testified that
he was a reputable manufacturer of "an-
tique'' oak chests. and that it was neces-
sary to fire bird shot at the new chests
in order to give them worm eaten ap-
pearance, which anecdote recalls to me

At this season of we'd
dings and other social events
the question of proper foot
wear naturally presents it
self. How well we attend
to the wants of those in
search of footwear for such
occasions is demonstrated in
the immense trade we enjoy.
Every newest novelty is rep
resented-what you want
you cannot fail to find here.
There's no other stock from
which you'll be satisfied to
select. Not if you are par
ticular-not if you care for
"eXclusiveness-for correct
ness"
Special attention is called
to our exclusive shoes for
street wear. We have the
styles sanctioned by undis-
puted authority. Our great
store, occupying entire
building, is unsurpassed in
the matter of appointments
and our salespeople are edu-
Gated to the highest point in
the fitting of shoes. In
spring styles we ask only an
inspection The variety is
greater than we have ever
shOwn-they are distinctive
creations each pair having
character-are graceful and
perfect fitting.
Our enormous display of
novelty footwear shown
here will surprise you.
Boots for shooting. golfing,
fencing, hunting. riding,
etc, are to be seen here in
wide array.
The changeable weather
of April suggests damp
proof footwear h oes
which are impervious to
water. hence renuirjno no
rubbers. Shoes for such
wear need not be clumsy,
and this showing demon-
strates how neat and trim
such footwear can be.

petition for writ of certiorari to
bring up the cage of Alice A. Cable, ao-
ministratrix, VS.. the United States Life
Insurance Company, of New York, will
be presented to the Supreme Court when
it reassembles tomorrow.
The case presents two interesting and
important questions for consideration by
the court. The statement in the brief
filed in support of the petition shows
these facts:
In February, 1S99 Henry D. Cable ap
piled for policy of s50,e00 in the United
States Company, and it was rendered TO
him on February 81. He declined it then,
saying he wanted to investigate the con-
dition of the company and would be
guided by what friend named Lord who
had also applied for a policy, said and
did
Cable Taken Ill.
Three days later Cable fell i'll with
pneumonia. On February 81 the companys
agent called on Lord. He was asked for
Cables policy. and he gave It to Lord.
asking: 'Is Cable all right?" Lord re-
Piled:
NO he has been sick two or three
days, but is no worse than he has been
for the last forty eight hours"
Cable died, and his widow sued in the
Superior Court of Cook County. ILL.,, to
recover the amount of the policy, and
later on the same day the company sued
in the Circuit Court of the United States
for the Northern district of Illinois fer
an Injunction to restrain Mrs. Cable from
prosecuting any action on the policy. and
also for its cancellation.
Company Wins Case.
In view of all the facts the Circuit Court
and the Circuit Court of Appeals decreed
that the delivery of the policy under the
conditions was constructive fraud on the
company. and that it should be Cancelled.
Counsel for Mrs. Gable says: Two ques
tions of special Importance arise upon
this record which should be authorita-
lively and finally adjudged by this honor
able court.
"First-The fundamental ques los of the
right OF foreign insuranr" Jpany TO

Against the Sale of All Alleged

Down in the central district the
drinkers Of Peruna, embalming

red monkeys and purple hippopot-
ami playing ping.pong are threat
ened.
District Attorney Wilkins is re-
spoLsible for this deplorable state
OF affairs, and the following COM
munication explains the show and
why" OF it.
Hon. Il. r. Hackett,
U. s. Marshal, Central Dist, l. t.
Sr:-"I am reliably informed that
Ia many OF the towns OF this district,
including South McAlester, intoxicat-
ing cider is being sold, and ! am also
credibly informed that In the alleys
and back streets OF this city and many
other towns, empty Peruna bottles
can be seen by the cart load, and it Is
charged that degree OF drunkenness
results not heretofore noticeable. i
think we have succeeded admirably
heretofore la suppressing the liquor
traffic IN this direction, although they
have burdened us with all kinds OF
stun, such as Lone Star tonic, Roch-
ester tonic, Nixey, Tin-Top and Regal,
all OF which we have succeeded in run
ming out OF our district: but now they
come with Intoxicating cider, Peruna,
Wild Cherry bitters and Good-Cheer
tonic. All OF this stuff, except cider,
is sold by certain druggists, and no
man, In my opinion, can sell these So
called medicines and not know that
they are simply "rot-gut" whisky, and
we intend TO prosecute said druggists
for selling these tcnics, and Peruna,
just the same as II they should sell
pure whisky. In fact, no man has any
more right to sell Peruna than any
other whisky, because IL is mean
whisky aud every man knows II who
sells 1t.
81, therefore, call your attention TO
these matters, aud give publicity to
this correspondence, In order that the
public may fully understand that the
officers in this district, from the high
est to the lowest, intend to stand to-
gether in suppressing this evil; and II
public sen timent will stimulate our
jurists In the future as 1t has In the
past, to fearlessly do their duty, there
Will be music Ia the air."

They Are Considering
An Offer.

ch hara cter yesterday when w. H.
Moore Of the latter road admitted
that the purchase OF the Frisco
was being considered. Mr.. Moore
said:
"The agreement with the owners
OF the Frisco line, of course, is
tentative and conditional upon the
Rock Island's acceptance of the
terms. We know what the Frisco
folks want, and it is simply up to
US to accept or decline, there be-
ing no friction whatever, and the
question resolves itself into only
the one point, as to whether we,
ofthe Rock Island, can make the
Frisco line more profitable than
taking advantage of two opportun-
tiles for extending our system
through the southwest to the
Pacific coast"
