him up and down the road at top speed
before them, as an installment of priS-

So his torture endured. till at last, in
the lighted streets, Knowles and Seweil

Curiously enough, in 1S49, a new de-
partment was added, admitting nom
abstainers, but only those who IN
dulged moderately, so that no lesion
could be detected when they under
went the physical examination. the
name of the company was then
changed to the United Kingdom Tenn

tuition
From 1866 to 1901 the statistics of
each section of the compahy-that IS,
the total abstainers and moderate
drinkers were kept separate, and they
afford some very interesting comparl-
sons on the general subject. For ex-
ample, in these thirty-six years the
moderate drinkers" division reported
11,241 deaths, with claims aggregatfng
$12,999,635, while the total abstinence
division showed $500 deaths, with
claims of $7,24s,11e.
Figures on Deaths
According to calculations based on
the probability figures of the Institute
of AetuarieS, the deaths should have
been 11,127 and S,SSS respectively. That
is, the number of deaths among the
moderates was 4S6 less than had been
expected, and the total abstainers 2,53S
less, striking difference in favor of
the prohibitionists. Nowadays, how

A Notable Convert.

BY the recent death, in Washington
of Mrs. Mary Emily Donelson Wilcox
the last personal link connecting the
present with the jackson administra
tion of over half a century ago, was
severed. The history Of Mrs. Wilcox
is full of interest.
The Donelsons were Presbyterians
but early in life Mrs. Wilcox Joined
the Episcopal church, of which she
as member for many years. Hel
son, Andrew Donelson Wilcox, who
died in 1903, married Miss Ida Sey
mour of Georgetown, a member of 9
strong Catholic family, the result be-
ing that he also became a member of
his wife's faith. His death proved a
great shock to his mother, and, owing
to the kindly sympathy and attention
rendered on that occasion to herself
and daughter by the Rev. Father
Buckley of St. Matthew's Church,
who oflciatcd at the funeral Of her
son, she from that time forward had
a very decided leaning toward the
Catholic religion. On the Sunday be-
fore her death she requested her

Union, S. c., Oct. 4.-Speculation in
cotton, entaiiing huge losses, has
placed the Union cotton mills, one Of
the largest concerns of the kind in the
south, in a state of financial embar.
rassment, and on Tuesday creditors
filed petition for involuntary bank
ruptcy in the United States district
court in Charleston. At special
meeting Tuesday it was brought out
that the mill had lost 100000 since
January l through speculation. EX-
pert accountants told the stockholders
that the liabilities of the company
amounted to $2,7OO,OOO. They said the
enterprise had been losing one for
several years, maintaining itself only
through speculation, which for time
proved successful
New York, Oct 4.-Conditions close
ly resembling a panic ensued on the
cotton exchange Tuesday when the gov

GOVERNMENT WINS AGAIN.
Indicted Packers Ordered by Judge
in Chicago to Appear
for Trial.

Chicago, Sept. 3O.-The packers in
.dicted in the federal cases for violation
of the Sherman antitrust law suffered
another sweeping defeat Friday when
Judge Humphrey, in the United States
district court. sustained the demurrer
of United States District Attorney
Morrison to the plea in abatement filed
some time ago by the packers.
The packers must now stand trial
in the federal court on the indictments
charging them with violating the anti
trust laws. The court ordered the de-
PENDANTS to appear in court Thursday
and plead guilty or not guilty to tie
charges made by the government that
they conspired in the transaction of
their business to the injury of fair
competition.
One of the main points set up by
the defense was that Judge Bethea,
who received the indictments, was not
acting legally because of a change in
the boundary lines Of the judicial dis.
tricts. Judge Humphrey said he had
found by the congressional records
that Judge Bethea, in the opinion of
the court, was legally sitting
Judge Humphrey also held that the
grand jury which returned the in.
dictment was legally drawn.

SUES FOR HEAVY DAMAGES
Manufacturers Of Peruna Demand
$25O,OOO of Publishers of Ladies'
Home Journal.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Claiming that it
has the original Of testimonial which
the Ladies' Home Journal recently de-
clared to be fraudulent, the Peruna
Drug Manufacturing company, makers
of widely-known proprietary medi-
cine, has brought suit in the superior
court of Chicago for $25o.00O damages.
The Curtis Publishing company, of
Philadelphia, is named as defendant.
The testimonial in question is one
which the Ladies' Home Journal de-
clared that Congressman George H.
White. of South Carolina, never gave,
backing up its statement by an undated
letter from Mr.. White. In it's declara-
tion the Peruna company denies that
the testimonial is fraudulent and as
serts it has two original letters from
Congressman White, which were given
in good faith as testimonials to the
merit of the remedy. Mr.. Whites de-
nial, the Peruna company claims, was
secured through misunderstanding.
This is the second suit for large
damages filed against the Ladies'
