HYDE the Second.

The light now being MADE TO DUST
the vice president of the Equitable In
surance company, is holding the interest
of the financial world. A number Of
considerations are involved, any one of
them affording food for thought. Prin-
cipally it is desired to change the form
of the company from stock to mutual,
but with it all there runs an undercur-
rent of: opposition to Mr.. Hyde, made up
Of many small streams Of antagonism.
That it, will rise: high enough to sweep
him from office is not unlikely.
This company, having assets of about
$47S.O00,00O, and, with its affiliated
companies making up one of the great
est financial aggregations of the world,
is stock company, and the capital is
only 100000. Of this stock $4,000
is owned by James H. Hyde, who in
herited it from his father, the late hon
ored and respected Henry B: Hyde,
president Of the company for years, and
identified with it since 1859.
The holding of Hyde the second, has,
Of course, an enormous value over and
beyond it's face, and he is said to estl-
mate his $4,000 in stock as being
worth 100000, nor is this necessarily
too high valuation to put upon it.
The point of contention around which
the fight is raging is the matter OF con-
troll. Here is a man owning the major
ity stock, in. company formed. to hold
and conserve for the benefit of its in
sured, the stupendous total Of assets
that has accumulated. What assur-
ance, the conservatives ask, has the
company, that Mr.. Hyde will always
conduct his office and his great power
for the best interests Of the policy hold
ers: Some day he may sell out, or he
may come under the influence Of spec
ulators or market manipulators who
might influence him away from the patti
Of conservatism. ~"
These are the contentious of the old
fashioned fnanciers, men Of the highest
standing in their sphere, who, as OIL
GERS Of the company, have turned
against Mr.. Hyde.
Under all this is a world of opposition
that is not being aired, but is very rea
for all that MIR. Hyde is cited as an
other example Of a father turning owe
the work Of his life to incompeten
hands-the hands of his own progeny

new forms of frivolity for the diversion
of the New York and Newport sets. H

Races and odors.

had so completely mastered the
Chinese language and so trans
formed his personal appearance that
he passed for a native of the coun-
try he could not deceive the dogs,
which detected him by their sense
of smell and invariably barked at
him as he passed by. He further
states that the musky odor which
NAV be observed in articles import
ed from China pervades the whole
country and is one of the distinctive
marks of the Chinese race. A Jap
anese doctor of medicine returns
the compliment on the behalf Of
the oriental by declaring that the
occidental races have an odor which
is not agreeable to the Asiatics,
though in process Of time they get
80 accustomed to it that they do
not notice it.
