HENRI MURGER,s COATS.
It In Hard to Say In which He was
the More Miserable.

e II Hard to Say In which He Was
the More Miserable.
A pleasant incident Of the penurious
days of Henri Murger, the author of the
famous ''Vie de BOheme," is related
by French writer. Murger when in
the extreme Of poverty was one day
invited to a party at the house of
publisher at which it was Of great i'm
pOrtance that he should be present
Unfortunately he possessed only one
suit Of clothes. which was in the last
stage Of shabbiness He therefore ap-
pealed to a friend who gloried in the
possession Of two black cOats-One old.
the other new-to lend him one. The
friend. not overwiIlingly. lent him the
old one. It was too small for him and
very shiny at the seams, but by lib
eral use Of ink he managed to make it
pass muster and attended the party.
Unfortunately the friend was there.
too. and in great anxiety over his coat
followed Murger about the room with
such remarks as Don't stand so up
right You will split my coat" or For
heavens sake, mind what you are do
ing with that coffee. You are splash
ing it all down the front Of my coat"
Shortly afterward q similar occasion
arrived. Murger determined that moth
ing should make him apply for the
same coat. Accordingly he went to an
other friend and related the whole cir
cumstance. This friend willingly lent
him a new black coat which fitted ad-
mirably. But matters were not i'm
proved after all, for the lender was at
the party and followed Murger every
where. exclaiming I'm tones Of audible

TARBEIL ON THE STAND.
Resumes Testimony Regarding the
EquitabIe's Agency System.

New York, Nov. 22.-Gage E. Tar
bell. second vice president of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society,
who was on the stand when the In
surance Investigating Committee ad-
journed last night, resumed his testi-
mony regarding the agency system of
the Equitable He submitted speci-
mems of the contracts made with ag-
ents, which were offered in evidence,
as also were letters which accompany
the contracts explanatory of the al
lOwance of commissions.
Tarbell said the system of load
ing premiums was originated to in
sure the ability of the companies to
meet any contingency of claims or
expense. He said that the premiums
are placed higher than necessary for
safety, and the excess or loading"
is returned to the policy holders in
dividends. OF the $4,000, 900 surplus
of the Equitable at the end of 1904
he said that about $70.000,OOO was
set aside for deferred dividends, but
that the company does not recognize
any right of the policy holders in the
$4,000, 900 until the policy has ma
tured or reached a point at which It
has earned its dividends. This seven
ty million dollars could be used to
defray the expense of any contingen-
cy that might arise.

A CEMENT FACTORY.
To Be Established Near Roswell This
Winter by One of the Largest
Companies in the Country


Companies in the Country.
Leo Jacobs, assistant to the Pres
ident and General Manager OF the
Acme Cement Company, has been
here several days. looking over the
local situation and travelling in the
Pecos river country, viewing the gyp-
sum beds up the river, which he de-
clares. are the finest in the world.
The result of his visit is that he has
decided to put in a cement plant,
eighteen miles out of Roswell. up the
Pecos river. The cement will be made
from the gypsum, a bed of which. at
that place, has been pierced for for
ty feet and the bottom still undiscov
cred. The gypsum is almost pure. and
the deeper the prospectors went, the
finer they found the quality for ce-
ment making. The plans of the Acme
Company were made known to-Sam
Jones, the we'll known plasterer, who
has been a personal friend of Mr..
Jacobs for many years.
Mr.. Jacobs left Roswell Tuesday
for st. Louis, where he makes his
headquarters, but before going stated
to Mr.. Jones that the cement plant
would be started before January 1,
next
The plant will be a six ket-
ity of $50 tons per day. The process
is to plow up the gypsum, grind it
and dry broil'' it in large kettles,
the heat applied until all but five to
seven per cent of moisture is remov-
ed. This makes a perfect cement. To
run this plant a hundred men will
be kept in constant employment. A
greater part of the supplies will be Sc
cured at Roswell. The same company
has 100 men employed at Acme, Tex,
in a plant the same size as the one
to be built here.
The Acme Cement Company is one
of the foremost in the country. Its
1t now has five mills. One at Lara
mie, Wyo, one at Grand Rapids.
Mich, two in Indian Territory, and
one at Acme. near Quannah. Tex.
These factories have a daily output
of 1,SOO tons, but the Acme people
are $4,000 tons behind in their or
ders.
The cement made here will be for
use in plastering and white-coating
buildings and not for use in building
walks. One effect of the coming of
this plant will be to reduce this pro-
duct from S13 TO S& or S1O nor +or IN
Roswell.
