JUSTICE PEcKHAM EXPLAINS.
Why He Resigned as Trustee With
Mutual Life.

Mr.. Justice Peckham of the United States
Supreme Court has issued statement ex-
planning why he resigned from the New
York Mutual Life Insurance Company. in
the course of which he said:
My resignation was forwarded to the
board of trustees last Monday. The fact
that 1t arrived simultaneously with the
resignation of President McCurdy was pure
ly coincidence. In fact, 1 did not know
that Mr. McCurdy had resigned until to-
day. / informed the trustees in my letter
of resignation that 1 appreciated that II
would be necessary for the board to hold
frequent meetings from now on. in view of
the exposures which had taken place be-
fore the legislative committee. and that as
my duties In Washington would make it
ings ! felt 1t my duty to retire
He. said further he had told the COM
mtttee that he had learned with aston
ishment and great indignation the facts
testified to by Mr.. McCurdy before the leg
islative committee; that the funds of the
company had been used to influence legiS-
lat:on, virtually to corrupt legislatures, and
that they had been furnished to political
parties campaign contributions, both of
which practices 1 regard as beyond the pale
Of propriety. I expressed my amazement
and Indignation that President McCurdys
salary had been so enormously increased
by q subcommittee, without even report
to the finance committee.
These things had been done without the
slightest knowledge of the board of trus-
tees, as a board, and 1 do not know that
any individual member of that board was
aware of them"

ROOMS NAMED FOR STATES.
Peculiar Designation Of Apartments

From the Birmingham Age Herald.


I'm little town In the backwoods of
Mississippi" remarked a travelling man,
there is a peculiar hotel. 1t is just like
any other hotel except in the way the
rooms are named. They are not numbered,
as is generally done. but each room is
named for state of the United States.
When stopped at the place 1 was assigned
to room called Delaware 1t was cor
rectly named. too, for it was one of the
smallest rooms in the house. The man who
was occupying New Hampshire made
complaint to the landlord that the man in
Maine was drunk and boisterous and thus
keeping him awake. This seemed strange
when we recall that Maine is a prohibition
state. Two men up in Montana were keep
ing up the reputation of the wild west by
engaging in noisy poker game. A big,
fat capitalist had New York which was
the best room in the house. The room
named for Alabama is too ordinary for any
thing, and a farmer was occupying It the
night l was there 1t was funny to stand
in the office and hear the bell boy tell the
clerk that towels We're wanted in Iowa and
that the fellow in North Dakota was kick
ing like steer because he had no fire.

sissippi,' was one of the orders the clerk
gave. Be sure to call the man in Florida

employees. And thus 1t went. This hotel
is curiosity to the travelling public. 1t is
conducted by an eccentric old fellow, but
