The court martial of Midshipman
Merriwether in connection with the
recent death of Midshipman James r.
Branch, which occurred after fight
between the two at Annapolis, has been
in progress since last Wednesday and
has been exciting widespread interest,
There has been testimony to show that
the fight was the result Of a feud OF
long standing between the two, and
an effort has been made to show that
Branch was continually prosecuting
Merriwether. 1t has developed also
that fighting is not forbidden at
Annapolis, provided the particular
fight be sanctioned by the hrst
class. This arrangement, 1t seems,
is the outcome of an agreement made
by a former superintendent, condition
ed on the abolition of hazing. There
has been a great deal Of expert testi-
mony in the case, the effort having been
made to show that Branch was suffer-
ing from physical defects which has
tened his death. Because Of this the
secretary Of the navy, has ordered that
the dead cadets body be exhumed.
An autopsy is now being held. There
Is lots of feeling in the case, officers or
high standing taking sides bitterly.
Consul General Sammons, Much
wang, Manchuria, says that official re-
turns for the three months ending June
80 last show that popularity OF Ameri-
can cot; on goods and kerosene oil In
Manchuria and northern China con-
tinues. English shirtings and Jeans
have however, taken a prominent
place after a marked slump, and Eng
land now holds the lead in the former.
although the sales Of the American
product in jeans still predominant, with
the British rapidly increasing their
previously tagging trade in this parti-
cular line In drills and sheetlngs
America has almost a monopoly OF the
extensive and growing business. And
while large quantities of this class OF
goods are shown by the official records
to have been imported at this port Tor
the quarter ending June 80 last, all or
the imports have not reached the con-
sumers, owing to distractions TO thf
usual channels Of trade consequent to
the war. But with these channels
again in normal condition, following a
period Of inability to meet the demands
of the consumers throughout Manchu-
ria, there Is every indication or un-
precedented demands and correspond
ingly high prices during the coming
winter This condition of trade ap-
plies to various other articles Of Amer
lean manufacture which find market
in northern China and Manchuria.

You Will Pay
The Freight,

1t is a fact with d big f. that
not less than three people out of four
who buy life insurance leap before
they look. They buy from an agent,
losing sight of the fact that the Com
pany disclaims all responsibility for
any representations made by agents
unless they are written or printed in
the policy, and when the policy is is
sued they never take the trouble to in
vestigate and see whether or not the
claims made by the agent are incor-
pOrated i'm it and if they are they do
not investigate the history, standing
and record of the company to ascertain
whether or not there is any doubt as
to the Company being able to live up
to it's contracts There are about 100
level premium companies In business
today About thirty of them are now
and will most likely always be good
for their contracts. Every one of those
thirty companies write contracts diff
fcrcnt from all the balance. No two
write exactly the same contracts. In
other words while all of them are in
the business of insuring lives aside from
this fact there is just as much differ
ence as to details as there is in the
business methods of mercantile eStaD-
liShmentS. Isn't ii natural that there
should be? Before buying insurance
remember that you are the person
who is to pay the freight" and that
it is a duty you owe yourself as well as
your family to buy the BEST article
you can find for your money. Don't
accept any policy in any company un-
til You knew by comparison that it is
as liberal as that of the Mutual Benc-
lit. Mutual Benefit policies COM

PRICE COVERS SHORT CONTRACTS
New high records for the season were
made at the opening of the cotton
market yesterday with trading sensa-
tionally active and excited, says a
New York dispatch,
The movement was caused by cir
cular issued by the former bear leader
on Saturday to the effect that he had
covered his short contracts and also by
the big advance in Liverpool where a
small failure was announced, The
first prices here were 26 to 35 points
higher with March selling at 1l.SS, or
IL points above the previous record.
Realizing was exceedingly heavy at
the early advance and during the mid
die session prices eased off about II or
Is points from the best, with March,
selling at 1l.75. Sentiment remained
of a bullish average and the leading
bulls buying literally, the market firm
ed up in the afternoon with March SELL
ing at 1877, or 81 points net higher.
The closing was off from the best un-
der renewed profit taking but the tone
was steady at a net advance of 33 to
2S points. The sales of the day were
estimated at 100000 bales.

1t is said that the attention of the
state railroad commissioners has been
called to the accommodations which are
accorded the travelling public at the
Burlington depotin this city. Saturday
night with number of ladies' and
children waiting to take the north
bound train due here at 9:36, but which
did not arrive until 1885, the waiting
room at the depot was very cold there
being not speck of fire in the stove.
Sunday the depot was crowded with
passengers for the south bound passen-
ger train, among them many ladies and
children, and there was no fire in the
stove. A prominent attorney OF this
city took it upon himself to request the
operator who was in charge of the sta
ton to build fire for the accommodate
tion Of the people, but he CURLY refused
to do so and the attorney has drawn up
a complaint and forwarded it to the
railroad commissioners. With tine
heavy holiday travel it certainly looks
as if the railroad company could afford
to keep fire in the waiting room.
especially when the train was nearly
two hours late, and it is very likely that
the railroad company will hear from the
commissioners, as the attorney who
filed the complaint is gentleman who
pushes things, and in this matter he Is
entitled to the thanks of the public in
general.
