ADVISES A MccURDY SUIT.
Justice Peckham Writes to Special In
vestigating Committee.

New York, Feb 19.--The reeommen-
dation that suit be instituted against
Richard A. McCurdy, former president
OF the Mutual Life Insurance company,
is made in letter written by United
States Supreme Court Justice Rufus w.
Peckham to the special investigating
committee of the Mutual, and made
public Saturday. The letter states that
the suit should be begun before Mr.. Me
Curdy leaves this country for Europe,
as his reported intention, and its object
should be to recover mon, which Mr.
McCurdy may owe the company. In
making this letter public Charles A.
Peabody, president of the Mutual, gave
out a letter Of his own, in which he
said that he does not think Justice Peck
ham will have any reason to find fault
with the action of the company relative
to the matter to which he refers. The
Peckham letter was given to MIR. Pea
body by William II. Truesdale, chair
man of the Mutual's special investigat-
ing committee, to whom it was origin
ally written. Justice Peckham was
formerly a trustee Of the Mutual Life
Insurance company. His letter, dated

lows:
Il see that it is publicly stated that
Mr.. MeCudy is preparing 10 leave for
Europe to remain indefinitely, and
think it would be an inxecusable mis-
take for the Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany to permit him to leave the coun.
try without the commencement Of an
action against him in the name of the
company to recover the money he may
owe IT, The attorney general might
properly find fault that the company
was not itself doing its utmost to reach
the money wrongfully obtained by Mr..
McCurdy, the chief delinquent in the
case. take the greatest interest in
the matter, and | feel as il an action
ought to be commenced before the de-
parture of Mr.. McCurdy for Europe
Does it not so appear to you? The board
at the meeting, as l understand, gave
authority to the president TO commence
any action which the counsel of the
company advised and such counsel adj
vised as to Mr., McCurdy that an action
could be maintained against him. Sure
ly no further delay ought to be had that
might result in Mr.. McC'urdy's de-
parture without action against him. I
write your committee because your ae-
ton carries great weight. hope it

bishops who were summoned TO Rome

The encyclical claims that the holy
see did everything possible to avoid the
passage of the law, which it terms a
great evil to religion and TO France, and
outlines the churchs doctrine on the sub

state, adding that in their union France
had found throughout centuries her

OLD AGE
Depends Not Upon Years, But Upon
Vital Force.


In Barre lately there has been a good
deal OF discussion in regard to old peo-
pie Some at fifty years call them
selves old, and really appear 50, while
others at seventy years seem active,
vigorous and young.
1t is not years, but Ill is loss of vital
force that makes i person old, Weak
ened digestion, thin blood and poor
circulation soon start functional powers
and vitality ON the wtne, and then the
symptoms of old age quickly appear.
Mr.. Wells Of Ricket u Wells, our we'll
known druggists, says that old feeling
may be warled off, and we wish every
person in Barre who feels old, whether
they are so in years or not, would try
the great discovery, Ninol, We know
that it has vital principles which will
in a natural manner strengthen diges
ton, send rich, red blood coursing
through the veins, and give new lie
and strength to every organ of the body,
and this is what makes the old feel
young again.
Mrs II. w Avery says:
at the age of eighty-nine | felt the
need of tonic, something to strength
en- and build me up. For some time
have been taking Yinol, and have
found that it brings vigor and renewed
vitality to the aged as nothing else will"
Yinol repairs worn tissues, checks
the natural decline and replaces weak
ness with strength. 1t is an ideal body
builder for old folks.
We promise you that Vinol is, first
of all, agreeable, because it contains no
fshy oil. Second, that 1t is genuine
cod liver medicine, containing all the
medicinal curatiyes and strength-making
elements taken direct from fresh cod
livers; and third, we viii return your
money ii it does not do exactly what we
claim for it" Rickert & Wells, Drug
gists.

been made with it. It's power had been
proved, again and again, in the most diff
hoult germ diseases. Then we offered to
supply the first bottle free in every di-
sease that required IT, And over one
million dollars have been spent to an
nounce and fulfill this offer.
The result is that 100000 bottles
have been used, mostly in the past two
years. Today there are countless cured
ones, scattered everywhere, to tell what
Liquozone has done.
But SO many Others need it that this
offer is published still. In late years, SCI
ence has traced scores Of diseases to germ
attacks. Old remedies do not apply to
them. We wish to show those sick ones
lat our cost--what Liquozone can do.

Montague went toward marriage
with the quality c. cheerful alacrity
which would have inspired journey

had my own WILL" he tells us, II would
not have married Wisdom herself, if
she would have had me-" No quainter
piece of polite literature can be found
than the letter which our philosopher
addressed to his wife as a kind of nee
essary compliment on the occasion of
the death of an only daughter. And
the alacrity with which he relegates to
Plutarch the task of cOnsoling her in
her affection testifies to the entire con-
sistency of his habitual claim that the
dignity of marriage is best subserved
when a husband refrains from becOm-
ing too fond of his wife Even in view
Of this consideration, however, such a
brief and refrigerated epistle suggests

writer who needs only the turning Of
