why He Sees Double.

The reason that a man sees double
who has gazed too long on the wine
when it is red is that the nerve centers
are changed by the action Of the alco-
hol. There is a want of harmony in the
action of the muscles which move the
eyeballs. Consequently instead Of both
eyes being focused simultaneously on
an object one eye receives an impress
sion Independently of the other. The
two impressions are communicated to
the brain, and the object is therefore
seen twice The infamed condition and
loss Of energy in the brain centers from
overdoses of alcohol also account for
the staggering gait of an intoxicated
man.

A minor poet who talked of his lady
person being "curiously mix'd'' would
not be enthusiastically reviewed now
adays. But so startlingly beautiful
was the lady in question, one Susanna
Perwich, who died of rheumatic fever
at Hackney on July 3, 1861, Gin the
flower of her age" that these lines in
praise Of her have not only been pre-.
served, but they have even escaped
classification with nonsense verse
This explanation is, perhaps, neces,
sary before quoting the inspired &C,
count of her death:
Behold, damp sheets
Cling close about her in the bed,
At which she, waking, said, "tm dead!"
Shall I the careless maid go blame
And tell her what a horrid shame
It is that by her negligence
So choice a one is lost from hence?

Are Won Engaged?

Engaged people should remember
that, after marriage, many quarrels can
be avoided by keeping their digestions

S: A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. c., says
For years my wife suffered intensely
from dyspepsia, complicated with tor
pid liver, until she lost her strength and
vigor., and became mere wreck of her
former self. Then she tried Electric
Bitters, which helped her at once, and
finally made her entirely we'll. She is

Investigation of New
York Life Again
Postponed.

Treasurer A. ]. Campbell as Insur-
ance Commissioner yesterday afternoon
gave another hearing of the matter Of
John Ena's policy for $4,000 in the
New York Life Insurance Co. Little
was done beyond continuing the in
quiry to December p, At 1870 .. m.
This was at the request Of counsel for
the respondent. George E. Smithies,
Deputy Commissioner, was in attend
ance with the documents in the case.
NJ. F. Prosser represented the Attorney
Generals Department. z. K. Myers Of
the Hawaiian Trust Co, Mr.. Ena's
business agent, was present win s N.
Ballou as counsel. and F. A. Wicket,
local agent of the New York Life, with
A F. Judd as counsel.
A letter from BalIou & Marx to Jas.
H. Macintosh. general solicitor of the
legal department, n. Y. L. / Co, New
York, dated October 80. 1905, was in
troduced. 1t acknowledged the receipt

CBE-Fh EXPERT
MAKES THINGS CLEAR

a che-fa expert was qualifying last
Saturday in the police court before
Judge Whitney. The man, Chinaman,
explained the workings of che-fa in
his own way, and rather mysterious to
an outsider and spoke about as follows
the gambling game:
You buy a word. You go to the
agent with your ticket and the agent
gives you your ticket. You say to the
agent, I want sc. che-fa.' The agent
writes the che-fa. You write the che
ia and give it to the agent and the
agent writes the che-fa and gives it to
you and you pay the agent and the
agent pays the bank and the player
pays the agent and the bank pays the
agent and.
You must know the agent and the
agent must know the bank, because
if you don't know the agent the agent
don't know the bank and the bank don't
know you, and if you can't know the
bank you can't get your money. To
my own knowledge this is SO. L have
acted as agent I didn't know the
bank and the player knew me, but he
didn't know the bank. He knew me,
but I don't know him and that if the
way the game is played. What 1 said
was that the player didn't pay the
bank. You pay the agent and the bank
pays the agent. You give the ticket
to the agent and the agent keeps the
ticket and the agent gives you the
ticket and the agent gives the bank
the ticket and the agent keeps the
ticket and the bank keeps the ticket.
Much money is lost and won by
the player and by the agent and by the
bank because the bank has to pay the
agent and the agent has to pay the
bank and the player has to pay agent
and the agent has to pay the player,
because the player has paid the bank
already
In other words, this expert" squar-
ed the circle. or, to be more exact, was

tail

eral had stipulated that the original
policy must be produced or, if it was
lost. that an explanation satisfactory
70 Commissioner CanpbeH should be
made regarding the dccuo1ent.
Some questions were asked back and
forth. when Mr.. Myers, in answer to
1Ir. Prosser, said his statement was all
IN the shape OF letters as presented.
You have no more to say al this
tt1sae?" Mr.. Campbell asked.
only TO answer statements made
here 10 the effect that the wno:e thing
IS spite work. was the reply.
II the Commissioner Dleases," Mr.
Judd at once interjected. Il will ask
10 withdraw the letters for the pur
pose OF expunging therefrom every
thing that is not material to this in
vesCigatiOn. We would lie to exclude
from tne files ana from the discussion
anything that does not pertain to this
particular policy"
Mir. BaIlou then took a letter from
the table and, after showing il to Mr..
Judd, marked wit1 brackets a passage
deemed Objectionable.
Mr.. Judd then moved, at the request
of the representative of the New York
Life" that the passage objected to
by opposite counsel be expunged. It
was SO ordered
Mr. Myers, answering Mr.. Prosser,
said Mr.. Ena had no policy in the
Prudential and had never applied for
one.
Mr.. Ballou added that it had never
been suggested to Mr.. Ena to take out
a policy in another company or to
change his policy.
Mr.. Myers could not say whether he
had written a letter in answer to one
from Mr.. Ena. He went to see him
and had a long talk with him at his
house, Mr.. Ena being home sick at the
time
Mr.. Judd's request for a continu
ance was made because he had been
retained only a day or two ago, and
desired time to write to New York and
receive an answer.
The Commissioner granted the re-
quest as above stated.

meetings every two months. Mr.
be obtained by more frequent meet
ings.
e. E. Paxton said that frequent
meetings in theory were all right, but
in practice they were not. He con-
sidered it a wise thing to delegate the
detail work to the trustees. He said
this was a community of meetings. and
business is largely done through meet
ings. He favored the compromise.
Mr. Bowen considered that the trus-
tees had done excellent work. He
thought. however, that in view of the
sentiment for more frequent meetings,
the compromise was a good measure.
He wondered sometimes what has
made the apparent interest in the work
OF the Merchants Association. He had
seen well-attended meetings there.
However, as long as the trustees have
gone into the matter, he thought the
Chamber could support their compro-
mise measure
Mr. Swanzy stated that his recollec-
ton of monthly meetings was that a
quorum could seldom be obtained. and
it was almost impossible, therefore, to
transact any business. That brought
about the Board of Trustees to handle
important matters to report to the full
Chamber every quarter
On this showing Mr.. Morgan moved
the passage of the compromise meas
ure, seconded by Mr.. Cartwright, which
passed unanimously.
H. P. Wood, secretary of the Promo
ton Committee. was present, and was
introduced to the members by Mr..
Bowen.
