Friendly to Americans.

Notwithstanding his war on the
corporations which have neglected
their concessions, Castro is not opposed
to all foreigners, and he is not nearly
so inimical to Americans as his enc
mics would have people believe. Mr..
Garner Is his chief adviser In all his
international questions and Is practi-
cally his secretary Of state. On the
contrary, he has a pronounced liking
for Americans, but he insists that they,
and all other foreigners who come to
Venezuela for profit, shall fulfill their
obligations to the Government and not
foment disorders. Two other Ameri-
cans Jesse and Robert Henderson, have
just been given a virtual monopoly on
the navigation of the Orinoco river.
Castro is said to be a partner In their
concern, and the allegation Is not
doubted or denied by those who are
closest to him.
Castro has proved himself the
strongest man In Venezuela. 1t is said
by his friends that the only person he
Is afraid of is his wife. They have
had no children and, firm In the belief
that he is a second Napoleon, Castro
had congress pass a law giving him
the power to divorce her. When he
| showed the decree to Mrs. Castro, she
drew a revolver and he tore up the
document. There has been no further
talk of a divorce.
Venezuela is prospering under Castro
and the people believe in him. For the
first time In thirty years the govern
ment does not owe the Bank Of Vene-
zuela a dollar. At the close of the
Matos rebellion the government over
draft was two million dollars.

HANNIBAL HAMLIN's CLIENT.-Han-
nibal Hamlin, for many years a United
States senator from Maine, and vice
president during the civil war, was
wont to tell the following story or
himself.
"An Englishman by the name OF
Pearson, while passing along the mair
street in Bangor. stepped in a hole in
the side walk. and falling. broke his
leg. He brought suit against the city
for $1,000, and engaged Hamlin as
counsel
"Hamlin won his case, but the city
appealed to the supreme court. Here
also, the decision was for Hamlin's
client.
After settling up the claim, Ham
lin sent for his client and handed him
81.
Whats this?' asked the English
man.
That's your damages, after taking
out my fee, the cost of appeal, and
several other expenses said Hamlin.
THE Englishman looked at the dol
lar. and then at Hamlin. What's the
matter with this he said; ''is it bad?' >

An East Side Interpretation.

A teacher in an East Side mission
school in New York had found 1t a
dificult task to interest her class Of
street youngsters in Bible stories. Her
determination, however, to make real
to her boys the tales dear to her own
childhood was great, as was also her
satisfaction on observing one Sunday
the ringleader OF her little horde. was
listening to her account of the life OF
the boy Joseph, especially the part re-
lating to his sale by his brethren into
Egypt. .... .a-- ......
Alert to strengthen any possible
hold already gained. on the following
Sunday she politely requested Tommy
to repeat the story Of Joseph.
After a little urging Tommy began
somewhat reluctantly, but being en-
dowed with the gifts of a raconteur.
he warmed to his subject. The
teacher was noting with pleasure the
way In which the other boys followed
the racy recital-a recital correct
enough In its facts, though rendered In
the dialect Of Chimmie Fadden, 1t
scarcely retained its scriptural flavor.
The emotion was interrupted by the
following statement:
Den de udder guys. whut wuz dis
feller's brudders, fought dey'd make
deir fader t'ink dat Joseph wuz done

noyed at interruption.

Suicide.

Albany, N. Y, Dec 23.-Fred S. Har-

his wife, about the same age, are dead

ner leads the police to believe that
Harlow shot his wife, then killed their
pet dog and finally shot himself. The
HarloWs have lived here about six
months, and so far as is known the
man had no regular employment.
The letter left by Harlow was found
clutched in his hand. It says: "Our

of course, your friends are. and we
have no place to go, and am not able
to work. What to do we don't know,
but we have agreed to go together.

A second letter explains that a
friend to whom Harlow had loaned
over $1,000 to help him out of trouble
had failed him. The letter concludes:
"The trouble is, I have been too good
to my friends-those I thought were
my friends"

HE KNEW COMPANY CON-
CEALED ITS PROFITS.
BOOKS WERE FIXED
TO SHOW NO GAINS
Concerns Objected to Criticisms in Re-
port and They Are Eliminated
Ledger Values cf Real Estate Are
Scaled Down.

New York, Dec. %. - Examiner
Vanderpoel, Of the state insurance de-
partment, testifying before the legisla-
tive Investigating committee Friday
said he was aware that the report of
the Mutual Life Insurance company to
the insurance department for 1904 was
not entirely correct. The report
showed no profits, from the sale of
ledger assets. He knew this to be un-
true.
Mr.. Vanderpoel said that in a report
on the Mutual Reserve in 1899 he
criticised the company. The company
objected to these criticisms, and when
the report was published the objection
able portion had been eliminated.
Louis f. Payne was superintendent of
insurance in 1899. Mr.. Vanderpoel
said the superintendent of insurance
has the right to eliminate anything
from report, but he did not know of
another case where any of his reports
had been expunged.
Stephen NJ Smith, second assistant
treasurer Of the Mutual Life. was called
as the first witness before the com
mittee. Before the session began it
was learned that Former Superintend-
ent of Insurance Louis F. Payne, will
testify some day next week. Mr..
Smith produced statement of the net
profits of the company from the sale
OF securities in the past ten years up
to September 80, 1905. This showed
net credit to the profit and loss ac-
count of $12,S26,429, exclusive of $780,

Values Scaled Down.

sctAoCo SSo1Cd OO"u,
Charles F. Preller, auditor of the Mu-
tual, testified that he received the
quarterly reports of those profits from
the treasurer. and said it was the GUS
tom to credit profits and charge losses
on securities to the profit and loss
account. 1t was the custom to reduce
the book values of real estate and
charge the reduction 70 profit and loss
by instruction from the president of
vice president. The figures of the net
profit were annually submitted to the
president or vice president, who would
instruct what adjustment of the ac-
coun& should be made. and what
amounts should be debited to the profit
and less account by reason of the re-
duction of the book value of real es-
tate. In 1904 there was net profit
from the sale of securities Of S1,O36.-

justment there was charged off

was closed there was no profit shown

that all profit was Offset A number of
the reports of the net credit to profit

Mr.. Hughes.
Superintendent Hendricks and Chief
Examiner Vanderpoel, of the insur-
ance department, testified Thursday

profits of the Mutual Life were greater

been used to conceal losses. This line
