A Good Statement.

Examination of the figures contained in the annual statement of business of the Equitable Life Assurance Society during 1901 shows that the Society not only did a large business. but ended the year in a most satisfactory condition in every re- spect. The writing of $245 ,0s7 of new business-the largest amount ever written by the Society in a single year, brought the total of outstanding assurance to the imposing sum of $1,179. .276.725. A brief ex- animation of the Assets shows how well the risks of the Society are protected both by the character and by the volume of the securities held. Total assets of $33l, ,0S9 720 comprise. among other items Bonds and Mortgages of $60. .755. .930: United States. State. City and Railroad Bonds, etc, of $176, 032 549; and loans on collateral H1735,S0O. The amount of interest earn ed was larger than in the previous year, as was the percentage on invested funds. The great security provided In the large excess of assets over liabilities together with the very satisfactory results of the operations of the past year are abundant cause for congratulation both to the of ficers who have managed the affairs of the Society. and to the policyholders who reap the benefits of that management

TRIBUTE TO R. E. BURKE.
Congressman Wooten Also Pays Ho,
 mage to Alabama.

The paying of tribute to the memory of the late Robert F. Burke, Congressman NVooten of Texas delivered the following speech in the House of Representatives February [:
 MT. Wooten-Mr. Speaker, it was rot my privilege to know and to associate with my distinguished predecessor as a Representative in this House, and con sequently 1 cannot speak If him with that nearness and knowledge as q Con- gressman that his former colleagues here can and will speak; but for twelve years l d1 know him as man, as a lawyer, as a Judge on the bench, and as a pri- vate citizen. and I can speak of him personally, professionally, and in all the relations in which one man can know and judge another. He was a man sinNI- larly free of guile in his personal and private intercourse Kind, generous, con siderate, and thoughtful for all those with wiIom he came in contact he was one of the most benevolent and con- scientious friends to all mankind that ever knew.
 On the bench, in which capacity best knew him, he was tireless, painstaking. indefatigable. and consistent. faithful to the right as he understood it and could best conceive it. No man ever lived in the community in which for thirty years he was a conspicuous citizen who ever enjoyed an equal degree of personal pop ularity, esteem and public confidence, and this need of universal and uniform credit was due to the unbroken courtesy of his demeanor the unfaltering kind ness of his intercourse and the unques- tiened honesty of his motives in all his conduct and attitude toward his fellow men in every relation of life-personal professional and political. What more cmild he said of any man. and what higher tribute was ever paid to any

HERO
Of the Spanish American War Has Been Cured by Duffy's
 Pure Malt Whiskey.

Sergt. Ward, Go. C, Fist Va, stationed at Newport News, Va. returned from the Spanish-American war broken down in health from exposure and the hardships of the tropical climate. His doctor pre- scribsd Dufy's Pure Malt whiskey. Af- ter he had been using 1t for, two months he said he had fully recovered his robust health and cleaned his system of all fe- yer and other disease germs. He was troubled with indigestion and it cured him. He cannot say too much in favor of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and what it has done for him.
 Many of our brave soldiers returned sick and broken down just as Sergt. Ward did. and have been restored to perfect health by Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey.

IS COMPANY SOLVENT
HEARING OF TESTIMONY IN LOTHIAN NAVAL STORES CASE.
Petition in Bankruptcy Filed by Cred itors is Stubborniy Fought Strong Legal Talent is
 Employed.

Referee Asa stratton heard testimony all day yesterday that would throw light upon the question, is the Siocomb Naval Stores Company of Dothan bankrupt!
 The SlocomD Company was one Of the largest organizations doing naval stores business in Alabama. The com pany has been an important factor In the business circles of Southeast Alaba- ma. The company's embarrassment be- gan in December when certain Montgom- cry creditors filed a petition alleging that the company was In a bankrupt con1i- ton and a receiver should be appointed. The creditors making the request were the Tullis Hardware Company, C. A. Stern & Co.,, and Greil Bros. Company. At that time Mir. J. A. Spradiey was named as receiver.
 The officials of the Slocomb Company set up the claim that tho company was not in bankrupt condition and that 1t was entirely solvent. The hearing now going on before Referee Stratton Is to ascertain whether the company Is or is not solvent. J. A. Spradley, the receiver who has been in charge of affairs. was on the stand a greater part of yeeteroay. It will no doubt take several days to hear all the testimony and complete the consideration of the case,
 The liabilities of the company exceed s25.0O0, but the company officials claim that there are assets to more than cover them. The case is also notable from the strong legal talent employed on both sides A number of prominent citizens of Dothan are here as interested parties in the proceediugs.

The temperature was down to about 2S here yesterday morning, and according to the weather bulletins, a light freeze will hit here again. probably dropping the mercury down to about 2 to 26 degrees.

The Story of a Fad.

good fad story Is told by himself of Louis Vain. the painter of cats. This artist says he doesn't care much for the talent which he exercises with so much ease. What he has been strongly at tracted to at various times are music, science and gem collecting. Fortunately the last hobby. instead of running the artist, as it only too readily might have done. inspired him to greater efforts in the direction of his real work.
 'It became necessary" he says. ito work very hard at them (drawing of cats) to make the money to get the gems I wanted to buy, for I saw a quick and ready fortune was to be made out of precious stones when well matched and paired. and week after week I speculated and carried home my treasures. and week after week my cats developed with more character and vim. and gradually I recovered all my interest in my draw ing until at last d bad bargain in gems made me put them aside altogether as a had gamble and throw myself into my cats for good and all having we'll learn cd my life's lesson and realized the value of hobby as an incentive to work only"

mans career in the community in which he lived and labored?
 He came to Texas as a young man from that State that has contributed more to the growth and greatness of Texas than all the other States in the Ameri- can Union. Texas from the foundation of its civilization has been a composite pro- duction, a mosaic of heterogeneous ele- ments. Out of complex and almost in- congruous mixture of various populations and contradictory influences she has evolved homogeneous and vigorous cit- izenship. composed from all possible fac tors and combining all imaginable ele- ments of strength; but 1t is a remarkable and significant fact that I may be per mitted to mention here and now that Texas owes more of her distinguished names at the bar, on the bench, in the forum, and in every walk of useful en- terprise to the State of Alabama than to any other one State in the Union.
 It was there that Judge Burke was born. and from here, as a more boy, he went out among that gay and gallant host of Southern cavaliers who rode down to death in that far-off summer of
 6l with as dauntless mien and as serene front as any knight-errant who buck led on his -armor in fantastic Gothic chapel. beneath storied windows richly dight." Like so many others of that brave but defeated host he found a new home in a new land. and the echoes of the fading conflict found him a citizen of Texas, ready to build up his fortunes and to link his fate with hers in the dismal days of reconstruction.
 Living at first in Eastern Texas, he came in 1870 to Dallas, where for the next thirty years he wrought out his successful and honored life among the thrifty and ambitious people of that met ropolitan city and county. There was no honor that his people did not freely be- stow upon him-there was no labor that he did not willingly perform for them; and so he lived and labored in con- full appreciation by the citizens whom he so often and so siguallv served. It would be useless to reiterate here the many acts of personal and private kind ness that endeared him to the people among whom he lived and who have not ceased to mourn his death. They are canonized among ...e sacred recollections of his neighbors and friends.
 It would be equally fruitless to recall the many services he rendered his con- stituenta in the various capacities in which he served them. They are record ed in the annals of his States and his country's history. We today come to commemorate his virtues. to speak kindly and affectionately of his memory. and to send out to his people and to all those who value the recognition of merit ana nobility a testimony of our enduring re- gard for a well-snent and vlrtuous life. It has been said that Genius can mold no marble so speaking as the place where a brave man labored or the spot where good man died" If this is true, then this hall ought to be the perpetual mem- orial of such men as the one whose death We today lament, as their own homes will unceasngly bear witness to the ir- reparable loss of their presence and in- duence.

Pictures in Japanese Temples.

The votive picture (yema) of Japan csc temples are an outgrowth of an old custom. In ancient times departed war riors were honored by offerings of sake and rice placed before their tablets and tombs. As the idea gained ground that their spirits lowered around their graves besides food a certain nL mber of spot less white horses were provided with which these spiritual worthtes might take recreation. So 1t became the GUS. tom in wealthy shlnto temples to keeI one of these sacred animals. There were many shrines that could not afford tC buy a white horse. so the next best thing was to get picture of one; hence tht name yema (picture horsel from ye Ga picture) and una Ia horse).
 The use of the yema was first con fined to the Shinte religion. but the Buddhists took kindly to the custom The word yema has long lost its prtmi live meaning and has become a generic name for every picture hung np in ShintC shrines or Buddhistlc temples.
