Hln nefanda IilmaeIf

David B. Hill of New York, who was
proved by the recent insurance investi-
cation to have been in enjoyment of a re-
tainer Of $1,000 year from the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, has asked the
State Bar Association to appoint a com
mittee TO investigate this connection.
He insists that the transaction was legiti-
mate, and that he rendered full value, in
legal services, for every dollar Of his re-
tainer.
1t is conceivable that lawyer Of Mr..
Hills ability could easily render equiva-
lent TO a large business concern for a
$4,000 yearly retainer, but Mr.. Hills
long silence, coupled with his sudden ill.,
ness while the investigation was in prog
ress, made many people suspicious.
However, If Mr.. Hill, at this late day,
can justify his connection with the Equi-
table, not even his political enemies will
be disposed to begrudge him his vindica-
tion.

France and Morocco.

According to lie Figaro of Paris, the
French government finds itself face to
face with new phase of the Moroccan
question.
When, a few months ago, a Tangier
merchant went to Paris. he took with him
three Of his prettiest wives and native
servant as chaperon He established
himself in a fat on the Left Bank OF the
Seine, and at once set out to see the city
The harem finally became weary with
solitude, and by the aid Of the servant
procured European costumes and set out
to see the sights on is own account. Mo
hammed Ben Ferma. the husband, how
ever, discovered the truth and became
angry.
In order to prevent a repetition of the
escapade he took away from his wives
their European clothes and had an iron
barred cage fitted up in one Of the rooms,
in which he placed his wives when he went
out. Again the servant betrayed his
trust; for 20 francs a locksmith furnished
a duplicate key, and once more the three
members Of the harem enjoyed their lib
erty. But it was not to last.
One night Mohammed returned to the
fat earlier than usual and found the cage
empty. He awaited his wives return.
When they came he proceeded TO try them
according to the law of the "Koan, and
sentenced them to death. Suddenly the
neighborhood was aroused by awful
screams.
When the police burst into the fat they
found Mohammed preparing to bowstring
his wives. He was annoyed at being in
teTupted and turned upon the rescuers
fighting like mad It took six policemen
to subdue him. He is now in prison
The authorities are wondering what to do
with the harem.
The problem surely is a puzzlng one
The authorities cannot permit the man
TO murder his wives in Paris. If they
permit him 10 take them back to Morocco
he will murder them there If they fore
chilly retain them in Paris, or even harbor
them if they attempt to remain, they will
raise a diplomatic row with Morocco. And
if they permit the murderous bigamist to
take his wives home, and he shall then slay
them, will not a large degree of moral re-
sponsibility thereby attach to the French
authorities
Here is a problem that will tax the
highest genius OF French diplomacy.

DEFENDS THE PRESIDENT.

Editor Every Evening: The torrent
now poured forth of acrimonious criti-
cism of the administration of President
Roosevelt illustrates the uncertainty Of
popularity and the fickleness Of public
applause.
But it was ever thus, even at the early
dawn of the Christian era the plaudits
and ioyfully acclaimed hosannas of the
populace in Jerusalem were soon turned
into cruel shouts of cruciiixus, and so it
has been down the ages.
Hence we find that some of the Presi-
dents of the American Republic have
been targets for the assassin and others
were most villainously assailed in the
public prints. Grover Cleveland was one
of the hitter and now President Roose-
welt is under fire because of work per-
formed for the welfare of the entire ma
tion, bat which does not seem to meet
the approval of Congressional politicians
with dilatory and do-nothing methods of
conducting public affairs at the National
Capitol.
The President has doubtless made q
few mistakes and who has not as it is
human Co err. So far, however, the mis-
takes seem insignificant in comparison
with his achievements for the public
good and the prospects are that he viii
continue along this line regardless OF in
trigung lobbyists clamorous politicians
and unfair criticism Of some Of the news
papers.
Evidently though much time and
money have been expended ON the Pan
anna canal, with very little apparent pro-
gess in constructive achievement and
there is no doubt but that greater pro-
gess could be made ON this important
work if the President would get after the
canal officials with his big stick and
have them make the earth move without
any further delay.

Stuart'e Dyspepsia Tablets are recognized
throughout the length and breadth of the
land as tho ono cure that's safe and sure.
Their unbounded popularity from
the thousands and thousands of cures they
have enected-prove beyond the shadow of
doub. their greatness as a cure. Wherein
lies their greatness In fhe very fact that
they arc Natures own simple remedy. They
do the exact work in exactly the same wnv
that the digestive fluids of the stomach do
because they are composed of exactly the
same elements and possess the same
properties. They relieve the weak and worn
out stomach of its burden of digestion and
permit it without let OF hindrance to rest
ana grow sound and WE'LL The stomach
will get we'll quick enough in it's own
natural way If it Is let alone. That is what
stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets do. They not
only let 10 alone themselves but make the
food taken into the stomach do the same.
You 'can satisfy yourself OF the truth OF
this statement by putting the food you
would eat into glass jar with sufficient
water and one of Stunrt's Dyspepsia Tablets.
The process of digestion will be taken up
and carried out just as the gastric Juice
and other digestive fluids would do Il.
Their action is natural and they cause no
disturbance In the digestive organs. In
fact you forget you have a stomach when
they begin TO do their work, 80 mild and
natural is the operation. Stuart's Dyepep-

While Poultney Bigelow was not in
Panama long enough to discover for him
self the canal deficiencies which he OK
plotted so freely, it is evident that his
sources of information, which included
photographs of actual conditions along
the canal, were responsible. A Senate
committee insists that he shall make these
sources public, but Mr.. Bigelow very
properly refuses.
