Casey and Mulligan lived in adjoln-
ing tenements. Casey was looking out
of his front window one afternoon
when he saw Mulligan so through the
street door on the run. In Il few mo-
ments he returned still running. On
he next night Casey saw Mulligan re-
peat the performance. Casey told his
wife there must be sickness in the
Mulligan household, but Mrs. Casey
said no. On the third day Casey again
saw Mulligan dash out of the door and
return on the run. On the fourth night
Casey saw Mulligan leave the house
with skipping rope and go down the
street skipping the rope. When he re-
turned he was still skipping the rope.
This was the last straw to Casey's al
ready overburdened curiosity. He
watched and when Mulllgan was out
went to his home.

In the days of our grandfathers, carpets
were a luxury There were few wooden
carpets in Philadelphia and New York, a
few ingrains, and here and there an i'm
ported Turkish rug. But these were used
for state occasions. A rag carpet was the
glory Of a thrifty housewife. A few AK
minister carpets were made in Philadel-
phia, but the century was well begun
before ingrains appeared. Until 1850
there was not power loom for carpet
making in America.

EOUITABLE'S FORMER COMPTROLLER MISSING
SECRETARY OF THE SOCIETY TESTTFIES THAT HIS WHERE
 ABoUTs AREUNKNOWN.

Wanted as q Witness by the New York
 Legislative Insurance Investigating
 Committee to Explain the Loan of
 sss5,OOO by the Mercantile Trust ', Company to the EuuitabIe-James H.
 Hyde, Former Vice President, to be
 Called as Witness.
 New York, Sept. 1.-The affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance society and the Mutual Life Insurance company held the attention to-day of the leg3s- Iative Investigating committee in ses- sion in this city. Nothing particularly new was developed in regard to the Equitable society other than the state ment drawn from William Alexander, secretary of the society, that the soci- ety does not know the present where abouts of Thomas D. Jordan, the for mer controller. It was stated that MT, Jordan was wanted as & witness to ex- plain the loan of $6S5,OOO made to the Equitable society by the Mercantile Trust company. It was also stated that James H. Hyde, former first vice presI ident of the Equitable, later will be called as a witness before the commit tee. ....
 The inquiry into the Mutual Life In- surance was begun. The testimony drawn from an officer of this compa- ny shows that the Mutual controls many trust companies, among them the Morton Trust company, the Guar antee Trust company, and the United States Mortgage and Trust company. On deposit with these companies, the insurance company keeps, hundreds of thousands of dollars, against which 1t does not draw. s.s ... .-....,. -t.
 It was explained that the prosperity of the trust companies meant the pros perity of the insurance companies. The insurance deposits draw two per cent. interest, and the trust companies pay as high. as twenty per cent. dividends on the par value of the stocks, or five per cent. on the market value. K.
 Frederick Cromwell, treasurer of the eMutual Life, said the company had lbought securities from syndicates; that officers of the company also bought se- curities from d syndicate and receiv- ea individual profits by selling these bonds to the company He did not see that there was any irnproprietye in the officers going into syndicates, when the company had gone in first. aa

KoMURA AND ROOT TO MEET.
Conference at New York to be Merely
 Formal.

New York, Sept. '7.--Baron Komura said to-day that his conference with Secretary of State Root, which he ex- pected would occur in New York city either Friday or Saturday this week, would be purely formal exchange of courtesies, and that their meeting had no other object. The baron denied ern- tphatfcally the rur1or that the emperor of Japan had not yet given his approv- al to the peace treaty, or that the pow CTS of the Japanese plenipotentiaries were so limited that there was at this late hour still possibility that the emperor would fail to ratify the treaty. '"The present disturbances in Tokio," he said, cannot in the slightest degree influence the emperor's determination to ratify the treaty when he receives an official copy of It."
 Baron Konura reiterated his opinion rhat the disturbances in Tokio were di- rected against the local branches of the government.

NOTHING FROM GRISCOM.
American Minister at ToIzio Not Heurd
 From

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 7-Not until late this evening did the president learn of the serious disturbances in Tokio. Then his only information was in the form of the dispatch to the Associated Press.
 He expressed concern over the situ- alton that had developed over the riots, but had no comments to make on them.
 Thus far, it is said officially, no ad- vices have been received from Minister Griscom, at Tokio, or from any other official source in Japan, regarding the anti-peace demonstrations. Such ad- vices as might be received naturally would go to the state department, but it is quite certain that any information of. a serious character would be trans Initted immediately to the president. No such advices yet have reached Pres- ident Roosevelt.
