A NEW DEAL
 IN INSURANCE
The Albany Bill to. be Re-
 ported Today
It Wipes out the Officers and Proxies Of all the Domestic Mutual Com panies.

Albany, N. Y. March 21.-The as sembly committee on insurance in eX- ecutive session tonight voted to report favorably to the assembly tomorrow with amendments, assembly bill No. 954; introduced by the joint special in- vestigating committed which would legislate out of office on November 15 next all the directors and trustees of the Mutual and New York Life com panies and annuI all proxies hitherto secured by the companies themselves, by Thomas Lawson or any person or committee. The most important amendment provides that no proxy executed prior to September 15 next will be valid or can be voted at the recognizing election, which the bill sets for November Is. It was said that the amending and reporting of the bill were at the instance of the inves- tigating committee on insurance.
 It is said upon reliable authority that the reason for the pushing of this par ticular bill is the fact that the cleo tion of trustees of the New York Life would take place on April H. and it is the desire of the committee that there may be no question that this election shall be among those postponed by the act.
 The amended bill will be reported also in the senate tomorrow on behalf of the Armstrong committee and an effort will be made to press the bill to passage with all possible speed so that it may be enacted and placed in the hands of Governor Higgins early next week.
 The bill affects "every domestic mu- tual life insurance corporation, wheth- CT incorporated by a special act or un- der general law" and provides that the annual election of a every such company which under its charter or bylaws would be held Thereafter and prior to November 15. 1906" shall be postponed and held on that date"

 The advocates of federal regulation concede. according Co the report, that insurance is not commerce. The report sets forth section eight of article one of the Constitution as conferring tn" only power possessed by congress t1 regulate commerce.

SCRAPS OF HISTORY.

The last sovereign to abdicate was
King Milan of Servia. He relinquished
the crown in 1889.
The last slaves under English-speak-
ing people were United States negroes,
set free in 1865.
False teeth of ivory, on plates of the
same material, and held in place by
gold wires, were in use in the year
1000 B. c.
During the past three centuries more
than 200 different systems of short
hand have been devised. Pitmans was
first published in 1910.
The first standing army of modern
times was established by Charles VII.
of France in 1445. In England the
first standing army was organized in
1898.
The first attempt at stereotyping in
America was made in 1775 by Benja-
min Mecom. printer at Philadelphia.
Previous to this time the Dutch had
stereotyped prayer book in 1771. The
first printing press in America was es
tablished in 1889 at Cambridge, Mass.
Earlier than any known paintings,
some tapestry discovered recently at
Deir-elBahari, near The6es. is among
the Oldest specimens of human art ex-
tant. with the exception OF the pre-
historic drawings on the bones of ex-
tinct animals by the river drift men.
which, Of course, are incomparably
older. But these paintings represent
the period in which the art of Egypt
was at its zenith, the eighteenth
dynasty, and consequently date back
about $500 years.

TORTURED WITH ECZEMA.
Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body
Scratched Until Bled-Won-
derful Cure by Cuticura.

Last year l suffered with a tre-
mendous itching on my back, which
grew worse and worse, until it spread
over the whole body, and only my
face and hands were free. For four
months or so l suffered torments, and
1 had to scratch. scratch, scratch, un-
til 1 bled. At night when l went to
bed things got worse, and l had at
times to get up and scratch my body
all over, until l was as sore as could
be, and until l suffered excruciating
pains. They told me that l was suf-
fering from eczema. Then l made up
my mind that l would use the Cuti-
cura Remedies. l used them accord
ing to Instructions, and very soon in
deed I was greatly relieved. l con-
tinued until well, and now l am
ready to recommend the Cuticura
Remedies to any one. Mrs. Mary

NO KoWTOWlNG FOR HIM.
Hotel Man Who Was Not to Be Over
awed by Dignitaries of
State.

They tell this one on former Gov.
George Hoadly of Ohio:
Once upon a time, in the midst of
campaign, Mr.. Hoadly was to deliver
a speech at little town in the great
and glorious Buckeye State. When he
reached the one hotel the town boast
ed he walked up to the register and
wrote his name. The proprietor-head-
porter-steward- headwaiter-depot run
ner was behind the desk in his shirt
sleeves, his hat on the back of his
head and cigar stump held between
his teeth. When the visitor had put
down his John Hancock. the factotum
turned the register around, read with
out the flicker of an eyelid the name
there written, wrote 40" beside 1t
with lead pencil, and said:
You kin jest take yer grip right up
that stairway there an back down the
hall clean to tn end. Yer rooms right
on tn left hand side of tn hall, in tn
corner-number TO-"
With considerable astonishment and
not little injured dignity Ohio's chief
executive pointed to his name, smiled
family, and said:
81 am George Hoadly."
Yep; l notice." said the rustic
without turning hair. "An' yer
rooms right there at tn end of tn
hall-number TO- Can't miss it"
With more hauteur, and almost
quivering with outraged Importance,
the guest said impressively:
81 am George Hoadly, governor of
the state of Ohiol"
Turning, then, with a look of ex-
asperated impatience on his face, the
hotel man exclaimed:
"Well, what dye expect me t do
kiss ye?"-Judge

continue to suffer rather than submit
to examinations which SO many physi-
clans propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease; and this is the rea-
son why SO many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are corre-
spending with Mrs Pinkham, daughter
in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can confide every
detail of their illness, and from her
great knowledge. obtained from years
of experience in treating female ills,
Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women
more wisely than the local physician.
Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs.
c. Willadsen. of Manning Ia. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
can truly say that you have saved my
life, and | cannot express my gratitude in
words. Before l wrote to YOU telling you
how l felt, had doctored for over two years
steady, and spent lots of money in medicines
besides, but it all failed to do me any good. I
had female trouble andwould daily have faint
ing spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and
my monthly periods were very irregular and
finally ceased. l wrote to you for your ad-
vice and received a letter full of Instructions
just what to do. and also commenced to take

HoMELY PHILOSOPHY.

It isn't always lucky to trust people
who trust to luck.
Romance is sweet sixteen. religion
is sixty if she's a day.
Happy is he who never knows when
he gets the worst of it.
A great achievement doesn't need a
brass band accompaniment.
Most of us expect better obituary
notices than are coming to us
Those who yield to temptation are
generally looking for a chance.
The optimist looks forward to to-
morrow, the pessimist sighs for yes
terday.
There might not be so much room
at the top if there were fewer cushions
at the bottom.
Most of us are dissatisfied, some
with what we have and some with
what we haven't.
The present gets away from lot of
people while they sit on park benches
worrying about the future.
