Early in the sixties a foreign inventor
offered the secret of a new explosive
that he had discovered to the British
Government. He asked for it an insig-
nificant price, something like f6OO.
After he had been kept waiting three
months, and had made repeated appli-
cations for a decision, he was informed
that his offer was declined with thanks.
as neither the War Office nor the Board
of Trade saw anything in the inven-
ton. The foreigner was a Swede, by
name Alfred Nobel. His invention was
dynamite. My friend has only too good
cause to remember the incident, for
Nobel had offered him a half share in
the profits if he would finance him to
the extent of 500 kroner. Unfortunate
ly for him, my friend was young, and
still cherished illusions in regard to the
wisdom Of Governments and their Of
f~icials, and the consequence was that
when he learned the views of the Brit
ish experts he also declined the offer
with thanks. But for his simple faith
he would to-day be a millionaire.-Lon-

EQUITABLE UNDER FIRE
Policy Holder Brings Suit Against
the Big Insurance Company.
WANTS SHARE OF THE SURPLUS

Colonel j. Wilcox Brown Through His
Attorneys Alleges Illegal Retention
on the Part of the Officers of the So.
ciety of Funds Rightfully Belonging
to the Policy Holders.
New York City.-A suit asking for
the appointment of a receiver for the
$S0,OOO,OOO surplus of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society was begun in
the United States Circuit Court here
by Colonel J. Wilcox Brown, of Mary
land, on behalf of himself and all other
policy holders who ma be similarly
situated. The action is based on the
broad allegation that tie complainant
and other policy holders have never
shared in the surplus to the extent to
which they were entitled by law and
by their contracts with the Equitable,
but that instead the surplus has been
accumulated and is in fact used for the
Interior purposes of the group Of men
who control the organization.
Representing Colonel Brown are Dos

this city, and Joseph DEF. Junkin, of
Philadelphia, Pa. George Gordon Bat
tie, of Battle & Marshall, explained the
purpose of the suit as follows:
This is an ordinary policy holders
suit. The plaintiff, Colonel J. Wilcox
Brown, a citizen of Maryland, consult
ed us last autumn concerning his policy
in the Equitable Society. He had a
policy for $4,000, taken out in 1867,
changed as to terms in 1872. He had
elected to have his share in the surplus
OF the society applied in reduction of
premiums. In the earlier stages of his
connection with the society these re-
auctions had been very considerable,
but, although the business of the soci-
ETY. enormously increased, there was no
material further reduction in the prem
iums. On application to the society he
had been told the usual story that all
of this was due to a lowering of profits
on investments caused by the fact that
rates of interest iii later days were
much lower than in 1867.
I'VE were obliged to advise Mr..
Brown when he first consulted us that
we saw no basis for a suit. There was
no proof then in u possession that
the portion of the surplus properly APP
plicable to diminishing his premiums
was Incorporated by the society.

Specialized in Wheat.

It appears that Mr.. Bigelow has been
specializing in wheat for weeks. He
had made some Investments that had
swept away his H~private fortune, and
had turned to the banks funds in the
hope of recuperating his losses by deals
in wheat. His son, Gordon Bigelow,
was a member of Tracy & Co., brokers
on the Chicago Board, and it is said
that his fathers investments were
largely made through him.
When the banks funds we're to be
used Mr.. Bigelow, according to the
directors, effected a combination with
some ~bookkeepers and the assistant
cashier, Henry G. Coll. He took the
banks surplus and charged up the
money taken to Chicago correspondent
banks, but the other night, while work
ing on the books, a bookkepeer not in
the deal, discovered an incorrect entry.
He notified Charles f. Pfster, of the
Pfiister & Vogel Company, one of the
directors of the bank, and a meeting of
the directors was called, when steps
Were taken to prevent a collapse.
Bigelow was asked to explain, and
made a full confession. Chicago banks
were notified, and the bank officials
provided means for meeting the run
which was certain. Before the public
knew of the shortage $1,O00,O0O reached
he"e; then, when the run was in full
swing, heavily guarded automobiles
brought from the railway stations an
other million sent by Chicago to pre-
vent a panic.
1t looked as though the alarm would
spread to other banks, but so carefully
had the First National prepared for the
event, that the fears were largely al
layed. There was something of a
jam at the doors, but the police kept
the crowd orderly.
Glass cutters Clipped & hole in a big
plate glass front window of the bank,
and deposits were received in full view
OF the crowd Oh the streets.
The full amount appropriated by Mr..
Bigelow was $780, 600, but he has
made restitution in the shape of real
estate and securities sufficient to reduce
the amount to $1,300,O00. The Board
of Directors decided to meet the issue
In a straightforward manner, and for
mulated a pledge, which was immedi-
ately signed by members of the board,
whose aggregate wealth will probably
approximate $50, 1000, to more than
make good the shortage.
The capital stock of the bank is ST.
100000, and the undivided surplus
amounts to $1,200,00O. The personal
guarantee of the directors more than
covers the defalcation, and with the
surplus and undivided profits which the
bank carries over and above it's capital,
it is announced that the institution is
more solid that it was before the de-
~falcation became known. Charles f.
Pfster heads the guarantee list with
5000, 900.

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrua-
ton is a severe strain on q womar's
vitality. If it is painful or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to a serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham, that Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
1ul and irregular menstruation.
1t provides a safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.

vincingly what Lydia e. Pinkham's

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine

pains. I consulted two different physicians
but failed to get any relief. A friend from
the East advised me to try Lydia e. Pink

no longer suffer as l did before. My periods
are natural; every ache and pain is gone, and
my general health Is much improved. ]

The Moors are very fond Of new

whenever they can get the excuse. In
fact, they carry their desire for it to
such an extent that it was necessary

of bread on one day during the week.
All the stale bread used to be thrown
away, but now it has to be eaten, as it
is against the law of the Moor to waste
