CORNwELL GETS ORDER.
Judge Jackson to Answer as to Bes-
 semeP Case.

Judge Jackson to Answer as to Bes- semeP Case. Upon the application of Thomas J. Cornwell, the President of the Besse- mer Savings Bank, which failed over year ago to the extent of over $100,- 900, the Supreme Court of Alabama yes- terday issued rule nisi to Judge Jack son of the Bessemer City Court to prove his competency in the case of the State of Alabama against Cornwell, charged with defrauding his depositors.
 The rule nisi was awarded returhable May, 1905-
 MT. Cornwell, who has already been acquitted of some charges in connec- ton with the bank failure, through his counsel, raised the objection to Judge Jackson's trying his other case or cases on the ground that he was a depositor in the institution. This, 1t is alleged, renders him incompetent and application was made direct to the Su- preme Court for a mandamus compell- ing Judge Jackson to transfer the cause to a competent court. The rul ntsi was issued instead.

thought is irresistible to put of record
this from one of the younger men:
That none of the older men in my ex-
perience had SO charming manner
and so winning a way with men as
William Nevins Armstrong. He sought
out young men and took an interest in
them and advised them and in such a
way that they appreciated it.
In the glowing tribute which has

dwell on, and that is this, that it has

sincerely in this tribute of affection
and admiration for the character of

fond of him and enjoy his society. He
never was wearisome, he could not be
commonplace if he tried to be, and he
never tried. I think that his quick
sympathy with others was largely the
secret of the enjoyment everybody
took in his society. Old as well as
young enjoyed him immensely, men
and women alike. They took him into

6pOcla4 TO Ine JouIua4s ,
Winnipeg, Man., July 20.-A tone Of
confidence pervades the latest crop re-
port issued by the Canadian Pacific rail
way today. The summary deals with
the growth Of wheat and the weather
conditions at all the principal points in
the Canadian wheat belt traversed by
the road. In few instances are there in
dications Of serious damage from any
source.
During the past week, however, the
very hot weather has caused severe cleo
trical storms, which in some localities
were accompanied by hail. The damage
from this cause is not very heavy, as
Wheat is heading out all over the

moisture and heat, SO that the grain

| In several districts Of Manitoba the
prediction is made that the wheat yield
cannot be less than twenty-five bushels
to the acre, which with the area under
crop this season, would ensure q total
yield of 80,00O,0O0 bushels. Between
10000 and 100000 men from the outside
will be required as laborers to take of
the crop, which will commence to ma.

that the crop is ten days ahead of the
period when early frosts are to be ex.

EYE ON
LIFE INSURANCE.
Government Supervision Idea tt
Be Worked Out-Issue Before
Next Congress.
Special to The journal.


Chicago, July 2O.-Walter Wellman,
il Now York special to the Record
Herald, says:
Federal supervision Of life insurance
is pretty sure to be an issue before
congress next winter. President Roose-
welt is firmly convinced of the desir-
ability of the reform, and is prepared
to do everything in his power to bring
it about. It is most difficult task, as
everyone knows that has given the sub
ject attention But President Roose-
welt 8 theory is that the effort should
not be given up on account Of the OBJ
stacles in the way. He tells those who
advise him that notwithstanding the
difficulties, determined and sincere
effort should be made to overcome them.
At the instance Of President Roose-
welt, several Of the best lawyers in the
country are now studying the problem
of federal control. Among these are At
torney General Moody, former Attorney
General and now Senator Knox of Penn
sylvania, and Elihu Root, who is, per-
haps, as we'll informed as any man con
corning the legal and constitutional
status .of insurance companies. Other
men in and out Of congress are studying
the same problem, and it is not impos-
sible way out may be found.
This is not new idea with Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He had taken it up
before the recent revelations as to the
Equitable, and other life insurance COM
panies had focused popular attention
upon the question.

200 NEW WORKERS

Untold Suffering to Millions in

New York, July 2o.--The wave Of in
tense heat which held the city IN It's
grasp, for more than week, causing
nearly two hundred deaths, several
times that number Of serious prostra-
tions and untold sufferings to millions,
has been thoroly broken.
The relief, which came yesterday az
Sernoon, when a violent storm of wind
and rain swept the city for scarcely
more than five minutes, became perma-
nent. Altho the temperature ran rap
idly up again after the shower, cool
ing breeze which followed sent the mer-
curry slowly down once more, COM
paratively comfortable night followed,
and today the temperature was very
near the normal.
The lowest point reached during the
night was 70. Today, when the temper.
allure began to rise on an average OF
three degrees an hour until 81 had been
reached, the winds continued, and with
the sky partly overcast, there was no
indication of renewal of the intoler-
able conditions of the past week or
more.
Two deaths from heat and several
prostrations were reported early to-day,
but in nearly every case they are
thought to have been due to exhaustion.
Huge Milk Bill.
Milk amounting to the immense tOta
of 100000 quarts was consumed
Wednesday in this city to quench the
thirst caused by the great heat wave
In order to procure the unusually large
quota, dealers were compelled to ad
vance their paying price one-quarter Of

three weeks Thus far, consumers have
not been affected by the raise, the aver

Stockholm, Sweden, July 2.-Stock-
holmers are very proud OF their new
system of electric tramways-or street
cars, in the American vernacular. they
think the system "the finest in the
world''-a phrase that, somehow, has
a familiar sound. Until last January
the trans were all drawn by horses,
SO that the identification of the roads
is still yery much of a novelty to the
citizens. In Sodermalm, the southern
part of the city, which is the old quar-
ter and largely peopled by the lower
classes, the most minute directions as
to how to act and what to do are posted
in the cars. ..--

left, and accordingly the cars ~, always Is
run on the left-hand track. They do
not stop at every street corner on sig

at all. At intervals of two or three
blocks there are hallplatser for spar
vagnar,' or "literally, stop-places
for track-wagons,' where the car will
stop to let off or take on passengers.
You must stand directly opposite the
sign indicating the precise spot, or the

stolidly by. And if the car already has
its regular complement Of passengers,
he will not let you on at all. In each
car is printed a little schedule of just
how many persons it is permitted to
carry-so many on the seats and so
many on the front and back platforms.
No one is permitted to stand inside the
car and there are seats for just twenty.
Even if those seated are thin and there
is no end of room for more, you are
not permitted to sit down, and must
wait for the next car. =.

The conductor, like all other public
functionaries in Sweden, is clad in a
Respondent uniform, with a silver-but-
toned coat of impressively long tails and
q military-looking cap. His trousers,
however. at this Season of the year are
rather piebeian linen affairs. When he
comes to get your fare he thrusts a tin
