company for claims after his remoVal
in Milwaukee. Bowles organized
campaign of policy holders against tne
company and settled the suit for S5U'-
600.
Witness said Bowles was removed
for insubordination, which consisted OF
opposing the changing of general
agency to a salaried agency.
Mr.. Bowles had addressed letter 10
the trustees denouncing the president:
McCurdy could not say whether he had
had a copy of that letter. Mr.. Hughes
handed the witness a package, ana
asked If he recognized it as a cory OF
Mr.. Bowles' own writing, which he
did. The letter charged extravaganza
in the management of the company,
neglect of all sound principles iii in
viting business; that 1t was consumed
with ambition to write new business,
write fictitious business and employed
incompetent men because they were
relations of higher officials.
The trustees referred the matter 10
the president, with power, the witness
testified. He added that the board
had not read the letter. Witness read
only sufficient of it to see what 1t was
and then removed Bowles.
To the charge in the Bowles letter
that McCurdy provided fat Offices. for
his family, witness replied in long
statement how his son, Robert III. Nc
Curdy, had become the general man
ager. Witness detailed the education
his son had received to adapt him to
take up the foreign business, and said
also that he was loyal to the COM
pany. "I know of no other mans son
in this city or anywhere else" he con-
tinued. "who could hold that position
as well as the man I appointed to it."

modifying the rules of war. 1t is to be
hoped that the coming conference will
stamp out this treachery, as contrary to
the rules of war, and thus return to the
ancient and more chivalrous idea of
attack only after notice."
The speaker here referred to The
Hague tribunal and pointed to some of
the results already attained by it, say
ing that the success of President
Roosevelt in securing peace between
Japan and Russia was made possible
by The Hague treaty. He continued:
Notwithstanding all the cheering
signs of the growth of arbitration, we
should delude ourselves if we assumed
that war is Immediately to cease For
it is scarcely TO be hoped that the future
has not to witness more than one great
holocaust of men to be offered up be-
fore the reign of peace blesses the
earth. But that peace is to come at
last and that sooner, much sooner than
the majority of my hearers can possibly
credit, l for one entertain not one par
ticle of doubt"
At the close of Mr.. Carnegie's ad-
dress degrees were conferred on the
five Americans and on four Scotchmen.
The dean. in presenting Bishop Potter
and Ambassador Reid for the honorary
degrees of doctor of laws, said they
were both distinguished citizens Of the
lord rector's adopted country.
In the course of his speech the dean
made a happy allusion to President
Roosevelt, who was loudly cheered.
Mr.. Reid in replying thanked the
dean for the hearty and kindly recep-
ton in the name of "our gallant and
spirited colonel of the Rough Riders

Neg Summer Material.

Wise women are even now engaged

1t is sensible to get about it thus
early. In the first place the choice of
the summer goods is to be had at this

fast as they are shown. MANY a
woman returns to Il store to buy only to
find that the entire piece upon which

As for style, a safe way is to consider
