WONDERFUL PROSPERITY IN
1901

The New York Life Insurance Conn
pany Receives More Than Mill
r. lion DaIIars Day in New APP
plicatiOns. .
New York, Dec. 31.-The closing day Of
the year indicates great prosperity in
every business direction. The large mer-
camille houses, the various banking insti-
tutions and the trade generally are quite
enthusiastic with the records made. The
fire insurance business has not resulted
in great profits for stockholders owing to
the poor rates obtained, but the regular
or old line life insurance companies on
the other hand, will make a splendid show
ing for their policy holders. The leader
in business obtained and in force will I'M
doubtedly be the New York Life, as Pres1-
den. Mccall has issued statement that
the new applications to his company in
1901 will exceed three hundred and eighty
millions of dollars, or more than million
for every day in the year. This is an I'M
precedented record the Company's new
paid for-business in 1901, excluding risks,
rejected, etc, is 260,000,000, the total paid
for insurance in force is $1,S6O,00O,OOO,
gain of $160 900, 900 over the previous year.
It is estimated in banking circles that the
dividend and interest payments on gov
eminent, state. municipal, railroad and
other corporation securities payable on
January first, will be $400,00O,000. The
!, new business offered to the New York Life
during 1901 is nearly equal to these COM
bined payments.

Mr.. Hugh Mooney, $40 West Forty-sec-
ond street, New York City, Secretary of
Union Sc, of the Eccentric Firemen = of
New York, writes:
'I can recommend Peruna to be the
only genuine catarrh remedy that T have
ever tried. Il have tried great many
during the five years that 1 have suffered
with catarrh.) Subject to colds as I am
from drafts and sudden changes OF tenn
perat ure, every new cold brought it's own
fresh attack of catarrh. At times my nose
was stopped up and there was a noise
like the rumbling of thunder in my ears,
and a painful headache went with it.
ga friend advised me to take Peruna
as it had cured him; I bought five bottles
of it and when these were finished my
catarrh had disappeared.
II bought five more and I have three
of them yet, and whenever I get a fresh
cold I take a few doses of Peruna as a
preventative from catarrh..
''The symptoms never present them
selves now" HUGH MOONEY.
Mr.. j. B. Reese, Habnab, Md, writes:
'Two years ago l became sufferer with
catarrh which continued to grow worse,
and made me miserable. 1 could scarcely
smell at all, and my taste had almost left
me. My head ached constantly and at
times I had high fever and bleeding at the
nose. I was a perfect wreck
81 tried several doctors but derived no
relief. I read in one of your little book
lets called Ills of Life, of Peruna being
a sure cure for catarrh, and procured a
bottle at once. After the use of one bot
tile I felt some better, so I tried the Sec
ond and the third, and now I am we'll
man.
my health is much better than it has
been for three years. All praise is due
Peruna.' J. B. REESE.

Did you catch cold during the last cold

If any of these things are true you are

If you wait until the catarrh becomes

Peruna is the remedy for all this class

MEETING IN BIRMINGHAM.
Board of Miners Discuss
 Pratt Trouble.

Birmingham, Sept. 30-(Special.) 1.-The Executive Board of the Alabama organ ization of the United Mine Workers of America met here today in response to a call by President Ed Flynn for the pur- pose of discussing the situation as re- gards to the suspension of work at the No. mines and West Pratt mines of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company, because the company refused to collect from each miner the sum of H per week for the anthracite district strikers. as called for by the United Mine Workers organization.
 The company claims that 1t cannot col lect this money without the consent of the miners, and inasmuch as some ob- 1ect, 1t would not attempt to make the collection.
 The Executive Board transacted its busi- ness behind closed doors. Ed Flynn stat ed this afternoon that the full member ship of the Board was in attendance and that serious discussion would take place. At o'clock the statement was made that nothing would be given out today.
 The suggestion has been made that all miners who did not pay the assessment be expelled from the union. If this is done. the expelled men will be termed non-unicn men and the suspension of work will then be brought up.

STAGE COACH HELD UP.
Fashionable Vehicle Stopped by New
 York Highwaymen.


 Middletown. N. Y. Sept 30.-The stage coach Pioneer, which makes daily trips between Warwick and Goshen, was held up and robbed by three masked horse men late this afternoon. The coach was bowling along the road two miles from Florida and at a lonely spot on the road, Clinton and Horatio s. Wisner, who own the coach. and were on it, saw three men on horses suddenly emerge from the dense woods which line the highway. Clinton was driving. The robbers ordered him to pull up his horses. which he re- fused to do and the highwaymen opened fire with revolvers. None of the shots took effect but the shooting had the eff feet of compelling the driver to bring his horses to a stop.
 Inside the coach were Mrs. J. A. Cham berlain, Mrs. Fred Webster. Mrs. James Fuller, Mrs Hart, Mrs. Ed. Johnson of Florida.
 While two of the highwaymen covered the wisner brothers with their revolvers the third. using many threats compelled the passengers to give up all their money and valuables. After the robbery had been completed the robbers spurred up their horses and escaped.
 When news of the hold-up became known this whole section of Orange County was first astounded and then ex- cited. Posses of armed men were hastily formed and started a search for the high waymen. Clinton W. Wisner is President of the village of Warwick

REGAINED THE LOSSES
STOCKS SHOW A MARVELLOUS
 RECOVERY.
Secretary Shaw's Action in Remov- ing Restraint on Bank Reserve and Rumors of Strike Set
 tlement Responsible.

New York. Sept 30.-The stock market. which closed utterly demoralized as a re- suit of stringent monetary conditions and other unfavorable circumstances, made a sensational recovery today.
 The chief causes for the complete re- versal were the action of Secretay Shaw in removing the restraint on bank re- serves and persistent reports from vari- ous quarters that the coal strike had at last reached the point where the negotia- tions for settlement were actually un- der way. For this last rumor there ap- peared to be little or no foundation ac- cording to the individual and collective statements of the leading operators made after the regular weekly meeting.
 Another influence for better prices was the decline in call money rates, though during the morning loans were made as high as 19 per cent. A large part of the days loans was made at around 10 per cent, and the rate at the close went down to ?, but this was really nominal, no money being placed at that hguFe.
 Opening prices were better all the way from a fraction to five points. Wide operations in which blocks of 1000. 5000 and 5000 shares changed hands were nu- meIous.
 The greatest gains were in the Stand ard railway shares, notably St. Paul, Lou isville and Nashville (which bore the brunt of the previous days pounding), Missouri Pacific. Union Pacific, the Coal CTS and a number of specialties.
 On the floor of the Stock Exchange the greatest excitement and activity pre- vailed during the first hour. Brokers on the short side were covering with all pos sibe speed, and the bull faction was in absolute control. The list manifested a bulge. and many of the active stocks where initial gains had been largest re- ceded from to points.
 The opening rate for call money was per cent, but soon advanced to IS, crea ing general confusion among those cor mitted to higher prices.
 The most sensational operations dew oped in the afternoon on news from Was ington that the President aud his Ca net had taken steps to terminate the e strike. In spite of the absence of confirmation, the market seized upon t annc cuncement and with the coal stoc in the lead the entire list shot upware
 The market developed q buOyant tone the last hour. though operations were c, fined largely to the coaiers, which W heavily traded n and closed at pra cally best prices of the day. The da operations were in excess of 1,2O0 shares.
 Secretary Shaws visit to the street and his talks with the leading banking inter ests, helped in no small measure to re- store confidence Local banks loaned moderately.

Colonel RaspopoR Gives His Opinion
 of Camp Root.
 Fort Riley, Kas., Sept. 30.-Deeper quiet ev0 than prevails upon Sunday existed throughout the day at Camp Root.
 Governor Stanley of Kansas reached here today, and late in the afternoon Assistant Secretary of War Sanger and Brigadier- General Carter, the acting Adjutant- General of the Army. arrived and inspected the camp.
 At daybreak this morning the ground was in such q condition after the storm of last night that 1t would have been im- possible to carry out the days program with much probability of success. General Bates determined last night to call of the program fo- today and conditions this morning proved the wisdom of his course. Overhead it was a day difhcult to surpass; under foot was condition that could not be made worse. The roads have dried nicely, however, and every thing points to favorable conditions for tomorrow's work.
 Lieutenant Colonel Raspopoff, the Rus sian military attache, arrived last night in a terrific storm He is soldier who has seen much active service and at once gave evidences of his intention to see the bright side of things. He looked around the camp as well as he could and in the intense darkness his vision might pos sibly extend ten feet. turned his face toward the leaky clouds, and said:
 This is fine; this is bee-you-ti-ful. It is always nice to come to camp in rain"

THE DETROIT CONFERENCE.
Many Mayors Express Sympathy
 With the Plan.

Detroit. Mich, Sept. 3o.-The telegraph ic invitations sent out last night by May or William C. Maybury to Governors of number of States and the Mayors of the principal cities in the East, Middle West and Northwest, asking them to send delegations to participate in a national conference on the coal strike, have met with a great number of acceptances and the proposed conference bids fair to be a tremendous gathering. The Mayors off, fee was kept open until late tonight to receive telegrarhs and answer those call ing for a reply. A great majority of the messages received expressed hearty sym pathy with the conference and a promise to send delegates.
 In answer to the message from Mayor Seth Low of Great New York asking for further particulars Mayor Maybury sent the following telegram:
 Conference is expected to take up coal situation as it exists at date of meet ing. Then will discuss best and most practicable means of obtaining that to which we are fairly entitled viz: A coal supply. The plan to be pursued to en- force our demand must be governed by the wisdom of the conference and should be such plan as will be most effectively and promptly applied.
 Representation from the metropolitan city of the country would be most help full"

CROPSEY CASE AGAIN JAMES WILCOX GRANTED AN

Raleigh. N. C.. Sept. 3O.-The Supreme Court of North Carolina today handed down an opinion in the famous Nellie Cropsey case in which James Wilcox was charged with the murder of Nellie Crop sey in Elizabeth City last November. The court gives Wilcox new trial.
 In granting a new trial the Supreme Court says the evidence was entirely cir cumstancial that the jury does not seem to have given the necessary cautious and vigilant attention to the evidence or to the presenta ton of the prisoners case by counsel It says the conduct Of the spectators in and about the court was sufficient to prejudice the jury.

VICTORY FOR EXECUTORS.
New Development in Contest for
 Stratton's Millions.

Stratton's Millions.
 Colorado Springs. Col. Sept. 3O.-Pro- ceedings against the executors of the late Millionaire Stratton have been postponed The entire matter had been taken out of the County Court this afternoon and transferred to the District Court on a writ of certiorari issued by judge Cunning ham of the istrict Court.
 The writ was secured by the executors and was agreed to by stipulation by the administrators. Judge Orr was notified at o'clock of the action by Attorney Candy, junior counsel for the executors. The bearing of the order is that the &C., ton of the County Court is set aside. that the case now stands just as 1t did before the appointment of administra- tors by Judge Orr and further that the appointment of the administrators is practically annulled.
 It is a virtual victory all along for the executors who have been defending the dead miIionaire's will.
 Before this action was taken and after considerable delay caused by the non appearance In Judge Orrs Court of the executors the attorneys for the adminis- trators filed a reply to the sensational answer of the executors charging con- spidacy on the part of the administra- tors In the reply Messrs. Blackmer Hamlin and Grimes vigorously denied the charges of footing the estate.''

REVISION '>D' AND AND TRUSTS La Toilette Speaks in
 Milwaukee. CONTROL OF MONOPOLIES The Gigantic Corporations
 Must Be Curbed. A Leading West Republicans View of the Pending Issues-Rail-
 roads Should Be Taught
 Their Places.

Milwaukee, Sept. 3o.-Gov. Robert M. La Toilette opened the. campaign for the Republicans of Wisconsin at the West Side Turner Hall in this city tonight be- fore an audience that overhowed the hall. Governor La Toilette was enthusa- astically received. He spoke as follows:
 Tt is charged that the tariff Is re- sponsible for trusts. This charge Is most strongly pressed by those who opposed protection before trusts were known. They ignore the fact that the organiza- tion of trusts and combinations began but d few years ago and are fast gainng the control of busness everywhere. They. are not confEed to any country, nor are they the offspring of any tariff policy. They rule the market in tree trade products in this country and in whatever products they choose in free trade countries. But the fact remains that the organization or combinations of capital great enough 10 master the production ana fix the price of articles embraced within protective tar iii schedules. brings upon that system the popular, disapproval which the public entertains towards trusts generally.
 Tariff Revision.
 T believe that the hour has come when tariff revision must stand close guard over tarih schedules. But this revision should be on the true protective principle of guarding American labor from free competition with cheaperf oreign laboc. and yet take the place of suppressed competition.
 Anthracite coal is not protected by the tartH. But glance at the situation the problem it presents. Niaety-five pe- cent. of the entire coal field is owned and controlled by eight railway compa- nies which furnish the sole available means for transportation of anthracite coal to market. These railway companies have forced private owners to sell thei' coal mines and coal lands at half value first by increasing the freight rates and second by refusing to carry the coal fo: private owners at any price whenever such owners could not be brought ta terms by the establishment of exorbitant transportation rates.
 ''I'he plan developed and consummated in building up tha anthracite coal trust is indicative of tho power of the rail- roads in combination. As the magnitude of the question presented is understood, it becomes manifest that no power out side the supreme power of the land can control the situation. There Is probabaly not an importont trust in the United States which does not have the assistance of railroads in destroying its competi- tors in business. The limitation and con- trol of these public service corporations in the legitimate fields as common car rers is an important element in the prac- tical solution of the problem with which WA have to deal"
