slo.ooo INsrRANCE IN DIsPUTE.
widow Of stephen IIlEEinson Made Party
TO Partner'sSnt.


20 Partners Soit.
Justice GilClerseeve Of the Supreme Court
granted yesterday motion made by Stephen
NJ. Hoye, attorney for Mrs Sally Higginson'
to have her made party to the action in the
suit Of Dominicus Francis Antinous Baudin
against the Mutual Life, Connecticut Mutual
Life and Massachusetts Mutual Life insur-
ancs companies to recover $4,000 OF in
surance on the life Of her husband, stephen
Higgnson, who died about a year ago. He
also ordered the money 20 be paid TO the
City Chamberlain TO abide the result Of the
action.
Mrs. Higginson now lives at the Hotel
Martha Washington, but for years her
and her husbands home was at 800 fitth
avenue. Mr.. HigginsOn was brother OF
Thomas Wentworth Higginson Of Boston
In 1909 he left New York 70 tour the world
on his yacht and at Java met Mr. Dumbler,
head Of the firm q Dumbler q Co.. which
dealt in all the products OF the South Sea
and had houses in every great port OF the
world. They formed a partnership. Mr.,
Baudin and man named Peltz we're taken
into the Arm. Dumbler died about 1880,
and short time later Mr.. Higginson's
health became 20 poor that his relatives
had his wife appointed a trustee for him,
with power of attorney. He returned to
New York In 1885, his partners agreeing
to pay him 5000 guilders 02, 400 year
for ten years.
According TO the affidayit submitted by
Mr.. Hoye, the firm failed because Of i'm
prudent speculations on the Paris BouTse
and lost $500 900. Mr.. Higginson's insur-
ance policies were in the hands OF Peltz,
and it is set forth that he assigned them
t. Baudn without authority. The allega-
tion that Mr.. Higginson had himself as
signed the policies TO the Arm is denied on
on the ground that he was no longer capable
Of doing 20 and that they could be assigned
only by the trustee.
Mr. Hgginson was in a sanitorium a
great part Of the time after he returned
to New York. He was about 80 years old
when he died. The widow sought to col
lect hia insurance and found herself blocked
by Baudin, who brought suit himself.
Mrs. Higginson, who was with her hus-
band in Java, has written a hook on the
island. Nearly all Of their fortune was
lost in the failure Of Dumbler Co.

Alternative writ Granted.

or she VI N u. Electric 60. Mandamus
Alternative Writ Granted.
Supreme Court Justice BischoT declined
yesterday to grant a peremptory man
damus directing the Board of Alderman
TO refer to the Board Of Estimate and APP
portionment an ordinance granting to the
Manhattan and Bronx Electric Company
franchise to lay wires and conduits for
the distribution Of electricity. He did
however, grant an alternative writ, on the
ground that the statements made by the
company and the board are 80 much at
variance that a jury win have TO pass upon
the questions Of fact.
The main issue Is, whether or not the
ordinance passed a frst reading in the
board. Under the Charter every applica-
ton for a franchise must be advertised.
and, II IL passes first reading, must be re-
ferred to the Board Of Estimate. where the
amount OF compensation TO be paid to
the city Is determined. The present ordi.
nance was referred 20 the committee
on Water Supply, Gas and Electricity.
The Aldermen insist that II never reached
a first reading. The officers Of the company
say that IL did, and demand that II should
be properly referred IN accordance with
the regulations Of the Charter.

Of all the Russias, the anniversary was
allowed to pass with almost no pub

in the Far East has enshrouded the
capital in deepest gloom, and the pub
lie evineed no inclination to take part
in the holiday rejoieings customary on
the birthday Of the Empress. The
only public Observance was the display
Of flags on government buildings and
the holding Of TIE Deum services in
the churches. The Empress herself
passed the day quietly in the bosom
Of her family and in reading mes

WORTH WHILE.

It is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows by like song,
But the man worth while is one who
viii smile
When everything goes dead wrong
For the test Of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the
praises Of earth
Is the smile that shines through
tears
It is easy enough to be prudent
When nothing tempts you to stray,
When without or within no voice Of
sin
Is Turing your soul away;
But it's only a negative virtue
Until Il is tried by fire,
And the life that is wroththe honor Of
earth
Is the one that resists desire
By the cynic, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife,
The worlds highway is numbered to-
day.
They make up the sum Of life.
But the virtue that cOnquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in a
smile.
1t is these that are worth the hon.
age Of earth,
For we ind them but once in a
while.

An ocean voyage is being robbed OF
most Of its terrOrs- The Arabic IS a
big ship, one OF the largest It
stretches out over so many waves that
IL does very little rolling or plunging.
We have been out for three days and
there have been really no cases Of
seasickness- fully expected to be
seasick, and IL is a great disappoint-
ment However. I am not going to
ask the company to refund my fare
on that account Everybody is afraid
Of seasickness. and down in their
hearts everybody wishes that every
body else might be sick and he alone
left TO proudly walk the deck and
smile at the victims The only person
who suffers from seasickness Is the
individual affected. You may run a
silver in your finger and the family
Will gather around with words Of
sympathy. You may get a cinder in
your eye and your friends viii hurry
forward to help get 1t out But If
you are suffering with seasicknesss
and death would be almost welcome,
your friends will only grin and their
words Of coincidence are false and
mOcking-
The daily life on a steamship is q
good deal like am told it is on a Ii
mited Santa Fe Pullman train, only
there is a little more room There are
all kinds Of people in the crowd,
mostly from England, the United
States or Boston Soon after We left
port I met a fellow who looked like
somebody from home I asked him
where he was from and he said Ne
vada- said was from Kansas, and
ne enthusiastically grasped nay hand
and said, Then We are neighbOrs-'
/ You do get a good deal OF that feel
/ ing. Afterward we met some folks
from Colorado and to have seen US
warm up to each other would have
made you think we were long sep
arated but happily reunited family.
When anyone asks me where hail
from and say Kansas the answer
\ is nearly always "Oh." And then I
shut my eyes and wait for the next
| remark It never fails to come: DO
/ you know Carrie Nation2" If I get a
| fair show generally manage in the
| course Of a conversation to inciden-
| tally ring in a few things about Kan
sas that they never heard before (and
once in a while something I never
! heard before MYSELF. I don't have to
cOnfine myself to things can prove.
! Colorado and Nevada will stand by
me and If the returning English tour
lists are not regretting they did not
see the wonderful state Of Kansas
they are simply figuring me out a
liar. The poet said: How sweet it
is for ones country to die" Let US
add How sweet il is for ones cOun-
try to lie"
That reminds me Of a good joke
on myself An Englishman was COM
planning Of the voyage and wishing
he was in old England. I did a little
rapture talk about the ocean and said
I loved to get on the deck, watching
the never ending blue Of water and
sky and just lie and lie and lie there
