The Tarbell Testimony.

After being on the witness stand be-
fore the Armstrong New York legisla-
tive committee on insurance inyesIiga
for the greater part of three days Gage
f. Tarbell, second vice-president of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
finished his testimony yesterday. His
testimony was in substance as follows.
That he and his family carried about
$500, 900 insurance, all of which he had
taken out and on all of which he had
obtianed agents commissions, most Of
them from his own company.
He knew there was law against re-
batting and he had decried Relating, but
his case be regarded as different, being
the same, he argued, as that Of merchant
s'ho bought goods from another house in
the same line of business, or as business
offered without any cost to the house.
He said be travelled in a private car
when on trip visiting the company's
agents, but he regarded the car as his
workshop and never lost sny time. The
car was also used to carry members of his
family.
All got free transportation from the
railroads, probably because the Equit-
able was such large purchaser of rail-
road securities.
Sometimes the trips we're vacation
trips.
Witness said he had no apologies to
make for insurance men, and that those
who had done wrong should suffer.
He proposed as a remedy for abuses
publicity in all departments, straight
forward system OF accounts and IRE
queut examinations b. the State super
inlendent.

The Board of Visitors of the Viz
ginia Military Institute met last night
and took definite and final action con-
corning the refractory cadets. The
board rejected the compromise paper
prepared under the Governors auspices,
aud gave the recalcitrant students seven
more DAYS in which to comply with the
regulations of the institute or be dis
missed. This was the only thing to be
done if discipline is to be maintained at
the institute. Any recession by the
board would have had bad effect. The
academic department of the institute
had placed itself on record to the effect
that if the board settle the matter on
any other basis than that defined at the
last meeting it would prejudice discipline
and would have a disastrous effect on
the corps and particularly on the third
class. In the language of one of the
members, "If the cadets ere permitted
under the guise of foolish oath to sub
vert the principles of discipline on which
the school were based, the board might
as well close the institute at once"

Ovation TO King and Queen.

Copenhagen, Nov. 2S.-The people of
Copenhagen, who have at last been
aroused to tardyenthusiasm over the cleo
ton of Prince Charles of Denmark to
the throne of Norway, today for the first
time gave the new King Haakon and
Queen Maude a notable ovation as the
Norwegian rulers were taking their de-
parture for their future home. The EN-.
thusiasm among royalists and the elabo-
rate descriptions in the newspapers of
the ceremony with which Prince Charles
was informed of his election and accepted
the crown soon aroused them TO greater
enthusiasm. Today the city was gaily
decorated with flags, sndIQreat crowds of
people thronged the streets. A holiday
was decreed and the presence of great
throngs of people in the streets added to
the spectacle. The weather was ideal,
and this resulted in bringing out thous-
ands of people who engaged in all kinds
of holiday festivities. King Haskon and
Queen Maude drove in gOldep coach
through the crowds of people, escorted
by detachmen ofHusssrs to the harbor
where they boarded King Christians
yacht, the Danutborg. All members of
the Danish royal family aud all Danish
officials participated in the ceremony
with which the young rulers we're START
ed Oh their journey to Norway. A squad
ron of Danish wsrships will accompany
the Danneborg to Christiana.

disorder or the absence of those con-
nected with the fight. Captain CoivO'
coresses. the commandant of midship-
men, and who, as such, has direct charge
of the discipline of the institution, said
that each midshipman is made &C.
quainted with regulations of the academy
when he joins the institution and takes
an oath to abide by them. These rules
prescribe prize fighting. yet the cadets
violate them and their oath aud act un-
der ''code" of their own making. This
is 'code of honor" not understood by
the public and one which the government
should wipe gu. at once.

fire at the holy images from a Jewish

WARS aud rumOrs of wars are decld-
edly in evidence at the beginning OF the
present century. The curtain has barely
fallen upOn one sanguinary case oil
nation rising against nation when the
Sultan of Turkey openly defes all
European powers and is standing on the
defensive with the impreguable Darda'
nelles between him and the allied fleet
From an ordinary standpoint it would
seem to be preposterous for the Porte
a,one to attempt to thwalt the will OF
Europe. but viewed from another 1t is
evident that he has in his power the
means of precipitating conflict which
might become almost universal. There
is no telling what would be the result in
case the Sultan was vanquished and at
t.mpts made to divide Turkey in Europe
among the powers. Apart from this the
fanaticism of the followers of Mahomet
is likely 10 bring on what Moslems call
a holy war. The area occupied by the
latter is extensive and their numbers
are countless. India, Persia, Arabia,
Syria, Egypt and all the country as far
the straits of Gibraltar contain believers
in Mahomet, and the great majority OF
them would fly to his standard

Safe Found.

Paterson, n. j. Nov. 23.-The small
safe containing over $1,000 worth OF
jewerly, which was stolen from the home
of Frederick w. Cooke, 1884 Broadway,
last night, was found in the yard of the
Joseph Sharpe Construction Company,
this morning. All of its valuable con-
tents were gone, with the exception of
two small rings. The thieves were plain
ly professional porch climbers, for they
entered the house when the entire family
was down stairs, and without disturbing
them threw the safe from window onto
the lawn.
They then drove off and it is believed
the safe was riaed In a small patch of
woods near by, and the receptacle then
thrown into the Sharpe yard. The en-
tire detective force is on the case, but,
thus far, no tangible clue has been
found. A reward OF 81, 900 has been
offered BY Mr. Coone.

INA RECENT meeting at Washington,
attended by majority of the Methodist
Episcopal bishops, Bishop John Will
liam Hamilton, of San Francisco, de-
cared that the typical American Of the
future would be born of the amalgama-
ton of all the races that now inhabit
this continent, and that those very per-
sons who are today proud Of what they
call their Anglo-Saxon blood will be the
grandparents or great grandparents OF
men and women partly japanese, Chi
nese, Russian Jew, southern European
and dusky Africans; tina: it WAS God
plan that race prejudices in time should
be wiped away aud that the American OF
the future would have become "the COM
posite type of all the races of the earth. "
The bishops speech was an insult to the
Caucasian race, and the large number
of his hearers who left the church during
the delivery of his remarks were fully
justified in doing so. The authority on
which he makes his statement Is not
given, but certain it is that a man who
entertains views in direct variance with
nature has not the confidence of the
Almighty whose ''plans" he 90 fipoant-

Jewish Day of Mourning.

New York, Nov. 23.-The Jews on
the East Side made today day of mourn
ing for the victims OF their race who
persisted in the Russian massacres. Six
thousand men aud women passed through
the streets of the Ghetto in a mourning
parade, behind band with muffled
drums, playing funeral dirges. Many
prayer meetings were held simultaneous
~ with the parade. Letters received by
the Jews of the East Side Yesterday from
the survivors of the massacre tell tales of
horror in southern Russia. One OF the
letters read; "With my own eyes | saw
some Of tie mob take little babies and
children, throw them up high, and
let them fall on the paving stones to be
crushed to death. Others took little
babies, raised them over their heads,
and threw them down as hard as they
could, killing many in this way. Wom-
en- were stabbed and cut open with big
knives. We who remain envy those
who are dead"

Knelt in Front Of Train.

Mary G. Mccarthy, pretty young
woman, OF New York, ended her life yes
terdsy afternoon in a spectacular manner
by jumping to the tracks OF the elevated
structure at Columbus avenue and sixty
sixth street, and then kneeling in an at
titude Of prayer before the trsis, which
swept down on her and crushed her.
The girls appearance attracted some at
tention, as after leaving the ticket chop
per's box she made several short spurts
toward the edge of the platform. 10 this
eccentric manner she made her way to-
wards the south end of the platform,
where there were few people. Then she
stopped at the edge of the platform and
glanced up the tracks The train was
about half block away and coming
down the grade at full Roadway. She
waited until there was no possibility OF
the motorman stopping the train, where
upon she jumped to the tracks. She fell
at first, but raised herself to her knees
and faced the on-rushing train, clasping
her hands as if in prayer and inclined
her head towards one of the rails. 1t was
all over in an instant, the train being
stopped after the first car had passed over
the young woman's body. A hall a
dozen women tainted in the station.
1t was said that the young woman hld
been suffering from a nervous malady for
Two months past aud became victim Of
melancholy.
