Journal Special Service.
New York, June 1.-The mutualiza-
ton of the Equitable Life Assurance
society had a narrow escape from de-
feat yesterday at the hands of the very
men elected to the board of directors
! as representatives Of the policy holders.
The meeting Of the directors was
charter which provides for the mutual
ization Of the society along the lines
marked out by Grover Cleveland and to
| fix date when the stockholders may
vote upon the. scheme, but as the in
junction forbidding naturalization has
| not yet been modified, they could not
formally act upon the charter.
President Paul Morton had received
precaution Of having on hand Paul D.
Cravath, personal counsel Of Thomas
F.. Ryan. Mr.. Crayath made a long
speech showing how the naturalization
plan would benefit the policy holders.
Then director after director took the
floor and said that while they were in
tered the board, close study Of life in
surance business convinced them that 1t
was a sham and that sooner. or later,
under mutual management, the com
pany would fall into the control Of d
clique which would conduct it for sci.
T fish purposes. Ihey commended that the
only practical life insurance company
was one organized on the stock basis.
Other directors said the plan Of Civ
ing the policy holders twenty eight di.
rectors and the stockholders twenty,
four did not amount to anything, as the
stock in the end would control, and it
would; be foolish waste of money te
hold annual elections in which the pol
icy holders would only go thru the form
of voting. ~ i Il: ssss IS. =. .%s3L,.

The auditorium of the East high
school was a scene Of life and action
yesterday morning. Weird lamentations
and prophecies mingled with well known
tunes filled the air, while figures, some
clad in Roman costume, others in out

upon the stage and spoke queer things
to a sea of faces. - 49,
In brief, the graduating seniors Of
the East high school were holding their
class day exercises before 1900 school
mates and friends, and for the last time
were making merry on the boards OF
the school hall. ..--f
First thru the fumes Of smoke ap-
peared a typical Roman sibyl, who de-
clared the fate Of the different mem
beers Of the class. An oratorical contest
between characters representing the
several high school studies followed,
and was made UP Of humorous poems
and local jokes. -
I Here herald announced Olympic
games celebrating the Ides Of March
and forthwith sturdy classmen appeared
upon the scene and went thru an ath-

worthy for its cleverness than for the
number Of records broken. .:

TENNIS WINS EAST
HIGH SCHOOL SUPPORT

Tennis at the East high school has
received enthusiastic support this
spring. Manager Fred Ware has done
well in bringing out material for the
squad, and has put the sport on a good
financial basis.
Early in the spring he called gen
eral meeting and outlined the plans for
tance of hard and consistent work, and
the necessity Of a large and active
squad. A tournament Of singles was
arranged and has been played off ac-
cording to schedule until recently, when
inclement weather made the courts I'M
fit for use.
The winners Of this series will repre-
sent the school in the northwestern in
.terscholastic tournament, which will be
held either on the courts. of the Mime
tonka Yacht club or ON the grounds Of
the Town and Country club Of st. Paul.

Americas Dead Sea Railroad.

Right through Great Salt Lake
the Dead Sea of the New World
runs a railroad! The actual length
of this, the longest trestle in the
world, is IL miles. 1t contains 25,-
600 piles, the longes single pile be.
ing 80 feet, and the longest spliced
pile 12O feet. The cost of construct
ing this wonderful piece Of railroad
was $5,OO0,0O0 and the time required
to build it was three years. At one
place in the bed of the lake thoas-
ands of cars of rock were emptied
without making the least impression
In the way of foundation.
In riding over this road-right
through the beautiful sparkling Salt
Lake-one notices the absence OF
boats of any kind, although the lake
Is over 100 miles in length and 70
one would think it afforded great at
fractions for the sailor or oarsman.
But the fact is, rowing or sailing
Is almost impossible on the waters
of this Dead Sea, for it is so heavy
with salt that navigation-or even
swimming-is slow and labOrious,
rendering, therefore, little pleasure
fer the pains.
If one dips up a pail Of water from
Great Salt Lake and lets it stand in
the sun IT,. the water evaporates,
there will be found one-third of a
pail of salt
Hundreds of centuries ago the
waters of this great body extended
over the thousands of acres of land
that surrounds it now in the form
of dry, desolate wastes on which moth
ing grows, for no animal, vegetable
nor fowl life cxh exist on this one.

HEAD HUNTERS OF FoRMosA.
Like Dyaks, They Have an Unpleasant
Mania for Decapitation.

The mountainous interior of Formo-
sa is inhabited by a race of blood
thirsty savages, whose chief delight
is to sally forth on head hunting
raids. Few strangers (the exceptions
being some intrepid japanese explor-
ers) have ever penetrated far into the
wild mountain country which is the
home Of these savages.
They appear to be akin to the
Dyaks of Borneo, says MacMillan's,
but NO definite study of their language
Or habits has yet been made, though
interesting details will be found in
Consul Davidson's voluminous book
on Formosa. For hundreds of years
the tribes, eight in number, have
withstood their enemies, who have
never been able to penetrate to their
Businesses. It remains to be seen
Japanese will achieve.
1t seems almost incredible that the
station of military force should not
be safe from the raids of these head
hunters, but it was the case a few
years ago. At that time one Of the
tribes crept in the night upon a post
of the Japanese and made of with
score OF heads.
Their more usual method is to stalk
the Chinese of either sex when they
are engaged in tea picking. The saw
age creeps up unobserved to his vic
tim, transfixes him with his spear, Sc
cures his head and is lost in a mo-
ment in the neighboring jungle.

 "The psoriasis first made it's appear ance in red spots, generally forming circle, leaving in the center aspot about the size of silver dollar of sound flesh. In short time the affected circle would form heavy dry scale of white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. 1t was worse on my arms and limbs, al- though it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp.
