SUIT FOR LIFE INSURANCE. Case of o. J. Pruett Against a Com
 pany on Trial.

The suit of O. J. Pruett against, the Prevalent Savings Insurance Company wss called for trial yesterday before Judge A. D. Sayre in the civil division of the City Court. The plaintiff seeks to recover from the company 5000. the value of a policy in his favor on the life of his brother, S. G. Pruett, a well-known rail- road contractor. who died in Montgomery last year.
 The trial had not been completed when court adjourned in the evening.
 The insurance policy is also the object of an interesting suit in the Chancery Court of Montgomery Mrs. S. c. Pru- ett, widow of the deceased is suing to recover the policy from O. J. Pruett. In his life time S. c. Pruett. who had no children. had his life insurance policy made payable. it is said. to the children of O. J. Pructt and later the policy was made payable to O. J. Pruett. The chan cefy suit is an effort to have this trans fer set aside. Meanwhile. the insurance company. it is said, declined to pay the policy on the grounds that some of the conditions in it had not been compiled with and the beneficiary brought suit to recover it's face value.
 The suit of David Johnston, Clerk to recover from Fred S. Ball costs in suit for which he had gone surety, resulted in judgment for the plaintiff for the amount sued for, $s3.

CLEVELAND TO WILSON.
Letter from President to Author oi
 Tariff Bill.

48IlA null Lexington. Va. June i2-The graduat.. ing exercises of Washington and Lee University took place today before a large audience. The valedictory was de- livered by H. E. Keeble of Abilene, Tex. There were forty-three degrees conferred. twenty scholarships and fellowships and twe gold medals awarded.
 An interesting feature of the proceed ings was the unvefling of an oil portrait of Hon. William L. Wilson, late Presi- dent of the University. Hon. Isidor Straus of New York delivered the ad- dress of the unveiling. MT. Straus re- ferred to Mir. Wilson's work in regard to the Wilson starin bill. In this connection he read a letter sent by President Cieve- land to Mir. Wilson. Mir. Straus said the letter had never been made pdblkc. It Is as follows:
 "Executive Mansion. Washington, Au- gust 13, 1894.
 My Dear Mr. wilson--I suppose a man very much depressed and disappointed may write word of sympathy to anoth- CT in like situation. We both hoped and wrought for better things, but now that we know out fate. I shall not let mo- ment pass before acknowledge the great and unselfish work you have done in an attempt to bring about an honest ana useful result.
 Much has been developed which has shocked and surprised you and me, and have within the last hour found myself questioning whether CT not our party Is tariff reform party. This. however. is only temporary, and such feeling Is quickly followed by my old trust in Dem- ocratic doctrines and the party which professes them.
 s.3ut I only intend to express my sym pathy with you, and my gratitude for the fight you have made for genuine tar iff reform.
 "I hope now that you will be mindful of yourself and that you will try and re- pair a strained mental and physical con- dition by immediate care and rest.
 Yours very sincerely,
 Grover Cleveland. ssTJon William L. Wilson"

Desperate Criminals at Montgomery County Farm Breathed Air of Liberty, But Took No Ad-
 vantage of situation.

pj ire 1t state convict prison No. {. eight miles from Montgomery on the low CT Wetumpka road early yesterday morn ius, caused loss of about $1,5oo. During the excitement attending the discov sry of the fire one of the guards left door leading to, the main prison open and hfty convicts walked out into the open yaro and watched the flames. Notwithstand- ing some of these .convicts are desperate men, not one attempted to escape ana when the flames were subdued they qsh' tIy returned to the interior of the prison.
 The fire broke ont in corn crib remote from themain prison shortly after mid night and the warden, J. w. Bush. and other officials of the prison were awaken ed by the loud cries of the conyicts who evide ntly feared that the flames would reach the prison.
 There is a water tank and hose at the prison but before they could be brought into use two cribs containing 1000 bush els of corn were destroyed causing loss of about q. .50O.N The flames were not com municated to the other buildings.
 Warden Bush was at the Capitol yes terday and made a report of the nre to the State Convict Department He said he was greatly surprised when he discov- cred that during the excitement door leading to the main prison had been. left open and that fifty convicts were in the yard watching the fire. With great tact the prison officials returned the convicts to the prison and no attempt was made to escape.
 The fire appeared to have caught from the interior of the corn crib and Warden Bush said he was at a loss to understand its origin.
 Judge Thomas Bradford Convict In- spector, will go to the prison this morning to make an investigation of the origin of the fire.

SECRETLY AND QUIETLY.
Coffee Slowly and Steadily Poisons
 Some Persons.

There Is no doubt that coffee secretly and quietly causes an immense amount Of misery to the human race, but in tho majority of cases the person does not suspect the cause of the trouble.
 A Virginia lady had an interesting ex- pertinent with coffee poiosn. She says, For about five years was troubled with indigestion. weak stomach and palpita- tion of the heart so bad that at times would fall and have to be carried into the house. Finally began to have tried all kinds of patent medicines and different doctors, only to get temporary relief
 finally gave up all hope of getting well. My stomach was in such condition that everything but stale bread would throw me Into spasms. I nearly starved myself but never suspected that coffee was the cause of all the trouble, nor did I have any idea what the cause was.
 One day Father told me he had been reading how Postum Food Coffee helped fee drinking and he urged me to leave off coffee and try Postunl. said, .Oh, Father. I cannot try 1t and do not be- iieve it would do me any good but he persuaded me to try a package.
 The first making tasted so fiat that 1t made me half sick, but I determined to give it a fair trial so I read the direc- tions carefully and found that 1t must be boiled at least fifteen minutes. Well I boiled it 25 minutes then added some good cream. and I tell you it was de- uc'ous. I like it better than the ordinary coffee and. of course, stick to it.
 Well I have been using it since the 15th of July now, quite two months. I have gained about 25 pounds. I gained six bounds in B weeks. and can eat any thing I want and all that l want. My stomach never hurts me. have gained strength until now l can do my own work and go to church every Sunday.
 People say. You arc looking so well, what kind of medicine are you taklng?' I tell them have quit all kinds of medi- cine and also coffee and am only using Postum Coffee.
 You may be sure I will recommend 1t and will guarantee a cure where the person will boil it long enough and drink enough of it. I would do without a meal for the sake of one cup of Postum.

 Since the evacuation of the island by the United States forces, piracy and srnuzgling along the Cuban coast have increased enormously. The collectors of half a dozen ports are constantly re- questing the assistance of revenue cut ters. The chief offenders are smacks from Jamaica, Nassau and Barbadoes. There are only two cutters available to guard 1000 miles of coast line. Four others owned by the government are at present out of commission.
 Six smacks which were violating the turtle fishery laws have been captured. Many others are under surveillance and probably will be captured on the arrival of assistance. Several instances are re- ported of actual piracy.
 Many Cubans' smacks have been over hauled and robbed of catches of fish. pro- visions, water. etc.. by foreigners, who evidently are under the impression that the withdrawal of the Americans left the Cubans an easy prey.
 It is probable that examples, VIII De made of the captured.
 It has been suggested by customs of- fcials that the cutter system be abol- ished as a means of economizing. but the revelations of the last forty-eight hours have demonstrated the absolute necessity of continuing the service if not 1t.

WANT INCREASE IN WAGES.
Pullman Conductors Say They Cannot ~ Live on Present Salaries,

Atlanta, Ga., June 1S.-Pullman car cc Lductors In all parts of the United States are signing a petition asking for an increase In wages. The conductors at present receive s65 per month for the fiI st six months of service and $75 after they have served one year. They are expected to furnish their own uniforms.
