TRlUMPHs OF 1902.

Seldom if ever in any one year of the history of the world have so many inn portant events of universal interest taken place. America, England, Germany and France have each participated. The Presi- dent of the United States welcomed and entertained H. R. H. Prince Henry of Prussia at the White House, Edward VII was crowned King of England and Elm peror of india, the German Emperor had his American-built yacht, Meteor, '' christened France had the unveiling of the Rochambeau Statue, and at all func- tions attending these celebrations Moet & Chandon's Champagne was used ex- clusively This, Indeed, is an unparal-
 leled record, which is proof positive of the superiority and popularity of the re- nowned brand of Moet & chandon White Seal. 1-16-13t-frl

Luther Stewart. aged II years, com mitted suicide yesterday morning at 11:4o o'clock by cutting his throat with a razor. The rash deed was done at the residence of his sister, Mrs. w. B. Ham, llton, at 2731 Avenue c. There is ap- parently no cause for the act except that for several months the boy has been in bad health. He had been almost too weak to leave the house.
 He was son of the late Mir. and Mrs. J. H. Stewart of Chattanooga, and has been living at the house of his sister since his parents death. He was alone in. the middle room of the house. He stood before a mirror and cut the jug ular vein with a razor, which was lying near.
 The remains will be sent today to Ris- ing Point. Ga. For some time the boy Soss &-AsA-s-S-s-S-s-s-o~-~-e-s- it would subserve many good ends, and we hope that some requirement of this sort may be established, If not already done, and its subseryance insisted on by those who have charge of the United States prisoners. A number of these lat ter, awaiting trial and subjected to im-
 
 nish bail from want of friends and ac- quaintances of sufficient means for that purpose, are by the indiscriminate CO., mingllng of both state and federal pris- oners, subjected to influences and brought in contact with a class of evil doers from which they have heretofore been exempt, and against which they should be as far as possible protected.
 sixty-nine Cases Investigated. We investigated sixty-nine cases and have returned true bills in thirty-four of them. The large proportion of those in- vestgated where no bills were found sustain what we have above stated re- specting the nature and character of many of the cases brought before us. The examination into and investigation of these frivolous or unsupported cases in- wolves the same time and relatively the same expense to the government as those which command trials by the court; and one of the principal objects in thus call ing attention to this matter is for the purpose of remedying this state of things.
 And now, having, as we believe. fully and faithfully discharged the duties as- signed to us, we respectfully beg leave to close our labors and be discharged.

He told her to wait minute and went back into the room, where he afterwards killed himself. She waited a short while and then called him. He an- swered that he would be there in a minute. She waited again, and when she called he did not answer. She went to investigate and found the boy lying dead on the floor, with blood streaming from his neck, where there was a gash about six inches long.

SAYS NO PERFECT TRUST

John G. Smith, president of the Ala bama Underwriters association, dictated the following interview yesterday in re- ply to the local article in yesterday mornings Age-Herald about the increase in insurance rates:
 Tt is a mistake to say that insurance companies have a perfect trust. While the companies have an understanding as to insurance rates, the same as other wen-regulated branches of business, with regard to prices, there is no rule to pre- vent any company writing any business that 1t may select at satisfactory rates. The article says that rates are double what they were year ago. The remark is prefaced by saying, according to prominent local insurance agent Now, while I have no means of knowing who this refers to. I do at the same time know that such is not a ract.
