SUIT AGAINST M'CURDY.

Demand Made to Recover Over Three
Million Dollars. - 90
New York, March The first com
plant in series of eight actions al
ready begun by the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company against former Presi-
dent Richard A. McCu1dy, his son,
Robert H., and the firm of Charles H.
Raymond e Co., the company's former
metropolitan agents, has been made
public.
The complaint, is against former
President McCurdy and contains nine
separate causes of action. In each Mr.:
McCurdy is charged with the waste Of
large sums of money through alleged
unfaithfulness and neglect in the dis
charge of his duties. Damages amount
ing to $3,370,341.66 are demanded.
The first five cases seek recovery
of $2S2,500 as alleged contributions to
political parties since Jan. /, 1885.
These contributions are stated to have
been $4,000 in 1896, $4,000 in 1900
and $4,000 in 1904, to the national Re-
publican committee; $4,000 in 1904 to
the Republican congressional commit
tee and 100000 embracing the various
contributions which Senator Plat tes-
titled were made to the New York Re
publican state committee since Jan. l.,
1885.

THE merchant who gives the
same attention to his advertising
as he does to his sweeping, dust
ing and replacing stock will never
argue that advertising doesn't
pay. The man who argues that
advertising doesn't pay is the
man who would neglect to attend
to it. No doubt if he would leave
his store for a month without
changing the goods, he would
conclude that it doesn't pay to
keep store. Advertising is an
expense, but if it didn't pay large
business houses would never ex-
pend thousands of dollars an
nually to push their trade.

streets of Japanese town is the pan
cake woman, who, with her little bra
zier of Goals and her tiny frying pan. is
usually found on a corner not far from
school. She has bowl full of. deli
cious batter. ladle and cake turner.
sand there is apt to be a hungry crowd
around her little stand as soon as
school is out, for not many of the chill
dren are able to resist the smell of the
crisp pancakes, at least if they have
any money. For a small coin worth
only a fraction of one of our pennies
child may fry and turn his own
cakes. and happy is the one who has
number of coins in his little kimono
sleeve and can fry and eat to his
hearts content.

Starting in the Right Way.

"Be sure you re right, then go
ahead,'' seems to be the motto
adopted by the city council and
the sewerage committee in deal
ing with the installation of the
proposed sewer system in Be-
midi, and the experiences of
other cities with sewer systems
has proven that this is a very
wise motto to follow. The hurry
up method is not a good one in
preparing for and building any
public improvement, and of all
public improvements the sewer
system is without a doubt the
most difficult to construct. The
utmost care should be exercised
in the selection of competent en-
gineers to make the necessary
surveys and absolute certainty
that a drainage system con-
structed after the plans of these
engineers will be provided should
exist in the minds of the city
council members before the con-
tract for it's construction is let.
The sewerage committee has
arranged an admirable plan to
secure the views of number of
well known engineers as to the
best plan for the construction of
the Bemidji sewer system.
March % has been designated as
a date for the holding of a meet
ing which will be attended by the
city engineer of Duluth, County
Surveyor Stoner of Bemidji and
a nun Der of other engineers from
the twin cities. The meeting
will be held in this city after the
engineers have looked the city
over thoroughly, and it is probable
that whatever plans prepared
as result of this meeting will be
followed in the building of the
SYSTEM.

Operators Hold Reserve of Nine Mil.
lion Tons.
New York, March ;. Announce
ment was made during the day by the
anthracite mine operators that they
have on hand within radius Of less
than 100 miles Of New York city a
reserve supply Of more than 100000
tons Of good marketable grades of
anthracite coal. This is in addition to
the supplies held by the dealers and
larger consumers
In accommodating this vast store of
coal an army of men has been steadily
employed for months. Storage facili-
ties have been increased very largely,
in some cases by the leasing of farms
along the route of railroads Many of
these spots are isolated, but they are
within easy transportation distance
from New York.
The operators declare that should a
strike: come there will be no incon-
veniences such as attended the dis
turbances in the anthracite region in
1902.

The Empresses of Russia.

- y rs. %
during the eighteenth century no less
tnan four expresses held sway over
Russia, and if perhaps the throne was
unjustly usurped in more than one in
stance 1t can at least be said Of all of
them that they reigned more wisely
than the emperors Of that period and
mat they have left names more famous
than those Of their male predecessors
and successors. With all her many
faults Catherine the Great proved a
wise and powerful monarch, and much
mat disfigured her history may be for
gotten, seeing that she almost totally
abolished the custom Of subjecting all
russian prisoners to a system of ghast-
~ torture besides repeating many 9th.
