Mutual Life paid $72,S61 last year for
luncheops for its clerical force in this
city. This was at the rate of almost
$3.50 a day.
Legal Expenses Enormous.
DR.. Gillette said the legal expenses
of the Mutual Life for 1904 were re-
ported at $364,000, while those ,of the
New York Life Insurance company
were $172,0OO and those of the Equita-
ble 32O4. 900. DR.. Gillette said he never
inquired into the reason of the Mutual
Life's legal expenses being SO much
greater than the two other companies.
He said the general solicitor never
made q report of what hs did with
moneys paid him, that he was never
asked for q report and received no
vouchers or receipts. Witness stated
he did not know where cent Of the
money went.
The frst witness of the day was
Robert oliphant, chairman OF the ex-
penditure committee Of the Mutual
Life. From him 1t was expected to
learn what became Of $4,000 charged
to legal expenditures. This sum was
spent In three installments of $4,000
each. the last installment being paid
the day after the presidential election
last year Mr.. Oliphant said there is
no limit to the money the committee
on expenditures may authorize to be
paid out. The Mutual Life Insurance
company maintains confidential fund
for legal expenditures. The details Of
payments for this fund were not
brought before the board Of trustees
but merely the total amounts.

Tallahassee, March 16.-The Board
of Commissioners of State Institu.
lions adopted a resolution requesting
the designations of the superintend-
emit. D. V. H. Gwinn, and the physi-
clan, Dr. E. Christie, of the Florida
Hospital for the Insane. at Chatta-
hoochee. This action was precipitat.
ed by disagreements which nave de-
veloped between these two leading Of
ficials, and it was deemed to be for
the best interest of the institution to
ask for their designations, to take
effect upon the qualifications Of their
successors.
The board at yesterdays session al
so elected Capt. B. F. Whitner of SatI-
ford to be superintendent OF the hos.
pital: DR.. r. L. Goodbread of Mayo, to
be physician, and DR.. James II. Ran
dolph Of Tallahassee to be assistant
physician. The assistant physician
was provided owing to the largely in-
creased number of patients now at the
hospital.

The half-hundredsor so of show peo-
pie, who came to Pensacola under
what they say was a false impression,
to do business here during Mardi Gras
week, are now in a pretty nearly
stranded position, and one OF them
who was more fortunate than the
rest, Aimee" has hit upon novel
scheme to get them enough money to
get out Of town on.
In short, Aimee has arranged TO
give a benefit for them at the opera
house Wednesday night, March %.
Through the kindness of Messrs.
Coe and Smith she has secured the
opera house for that occasion and she
is now arranging ten big vaudeville
acts which will be put on that night.
Aimeeas idea is regarded as CAPT
tai one, and the house no doubt will
be packed to see the show. The
show people appear TO be broke sure

town and county into prominence.
1t seems TO me that as a business
proposition the institution is a clear
gain to the county and town.
1t is true there are a number of
other state institutions which we
would prefer having. but our represen.
tatives have never secured any OF
them for the county, and we have
this.
This institution can be maze a
success by the cooperation of our cit
liens and the active work of our Iep-
resentatives in the legislature. But
if our citizens do not want 1t, and our
representatives will not aid in secur-
ing proper laws and appropriations
for the school. it seems to me that it
would be best to let the next legisla-
ture abolish the school, or remove it
to some county whose citizens will
make a success of it; and reform and
educate the vicious youth of the state
with good citizenship, who otherwise
will be the states criminals.

FAKE STORIES
FROM TIE SOUTH
REV FATHER j. DALEY EXPLAINS
HOW THEY ARE STARTED
AND HOW FOOLISH THEY
ARE.

A recent issue of the Boston Pilot
contains the following from Father
Daily, formerly pastor OF st. Mlchaei
church in Pensacola:
Editor of The Pilot:-In your value
paper of January Z, you state the burn
ing of the cotton crop by some South
erners was extremely silly. Right
you are. And similarly silly and per-
haps less excusably was the burning
OF square pianos by the enlightened
Fasteners to keep up the price.
But the cotton burning has been
positively denied-though it bore such
large and obstreperous ear marks Oh
being but newspaper cubs fake at
penny a line, that the denial Is
scarce needed. Besides, even ii 4
few ignorant white trash" in Geor-
gia did burn their cotton, why brand
the whole South? Therein dwell,
through choice, or through necessity,
many kindly and enlightened people.
Whilst bewailing and improving the
misfortunes of the South they refrain
from putting salt into wounds found
even in northern society. The

ed insult about intellectual
level" Of the South recalls taa-

from Massachusetts, wherein univer-
sal suffrage never did obtain. We
gladly initiate our better5. Possibly
also a further bar to voting in the
shape of a property" or earning
qualification may improve the voting
system of our united country. AS to
"nigger burning" no one can deplore
1t more bitterly than the Southerners,
who are brought in close contact with
its degradation and decentralization.
Yet the barbaric glare and Missing
shame of niger burning" has red
dened even Northern skies. Human
nature and likewise human depravity
are much the same everywhere-North
and South. l feel that you would not
willingly injure the feelings or the
rights of any one and therefore l pre-.

Diamond dance.
Fire. or Volcano dance, where

Chicago, March 16.-Hypnotism as
a cure for rheumatism has been
brought to the attention of the Uni
versity of Chicago medical professors
by the discoveries and demonstrations
of Otto w. Greenberg, young medi-
cal student, who claims to be able to
cure the most chronic case Of the all
ment by hypnotic power. Young
Greenberg's theory was given a trial
in a physiology" class conducted by
Professor Anton ]. Carlson. A help
less cripple from the Home for Incur
ables was brought to the class room
on a streteher and thrown into the
hypnotic state by Greenberg. When
under the mental influence of the op-
orator the man was told he was TO
have the use of his limbs. When he
was released he was able to move his
lower limbs, a feat which he had not
accomplished for long time before.

All Cases Against Him Have Been
 Quashed.

A Quashed.
 All cases against Ben DeLemos, charging him with pension frauds. were yesterday stricken from the docket of the United States Court and Ben de- Lemos, the picturesque, for the first time in almost a decade has no charge to answer in an earthly court.
 DeLemos for many years was one of the most widely known characters in Alabama. He was a mercenary soldier in the Union army in the war between the States and soldiers of Massa- chusetts regiment stepped to the lively rub dub of his drum.
 At the close of the war DeLemos came to Alabama and was prominent in reconstruction days. He settled in Lowndes County, where he was power among the blacks and held several political offices.
 It is alleged that DeLemos took ad vantage of the gullibility of the freed negroes and on them practiced many frauds, using the freedman's pension law as a medium. After reconstruc- tion he was indicted by the United States grand jury. A number of true bills were found, but all were different phases of the same offense.
 Of one of these charges he was ac- quilted. Of another he was convicted. Every effort was made by his political friends to save him from the peniten- tiary. They were fruitless. De Lemos, however. was allowed to take his time in going to the peniten- tjary. He stopped at several cities and made social visits therein on his way to prison in Columbus. Ohio.
 During the term of his imprisonment efforts were made to secure a pardon, but they failed to make an impression on President Mckinley.
 DeLemos returned to Alabama after serving his term last year.
 Yesterday he appeared in court. rep resented by Congressman A. A. Wiley, Judge Jones said that inasmuch as the cases remaining on the docket were merely different phases of the offenses for which he had both been acquitted and served a term of penitentiary inn prisonment. and as the pension depart ment had recommended a dismissal of the case, the court would order a nOlle prosse to be entered.
 Congressman Wiley rose to thank the court. but was assured by Judge Jones that he considered that his action was in the cause of justice.
