RESIGNATION OF PREslDENTaoFF
s5$SSsssSF SFFs
NEW YORK LIFE RELucT4a$s.<ss
ANTLY ACCEPTED.
Ill HEALTH GIVEN AS THE CAUSE
ACCUSES NEWSPAPERS OF MIS-
REPRESENTATION AND DIS
ToRTloN OF FACTS.

New York, Jan. 2.-It has been
made known On the best authority
that John A. Mccall resigned on Sat
urday the presidency of the New York
Life Insurance company, says the
Times, and that his resignation was
reluctantly accepted by the trustees
of the company The resignation was
in writing.
In his letter Mr.. Mccall said that,
after long and careful consideration,
he had felt it best to take such a step.
In the months during which the insur-
ance controversy has affected the New
York Life, he said, his peace OF mind
had suffered from continuous misun-
derstanding and misrepresentation of
his actions and distortion of facts and
misquotation of his utterances by the
newspapers. He was not in good
health now and he felt that it would
be best for himself and for; the com
pany if he resigned the presidency.
MI. Mccall, it is understood, in
tends to take long rest. 1t is not
improbable that he will go to Europe
for while: ~ %E4&
John Claflin, the dry goods mer-
chant, who is a trustee of the New
York Life, has frequently been spoken
of as Mr.. McCall's successor, but it is
by no means certain that Mr.. Claf1in
will accept the office.

ST. PETERSBURG PRISONS OVER.
CROWDED AS RESULT OF OF.
FlClAL ACTIVITY.
REVOLT AT MOSCOW AT AN END
TASK OF SUBDUING INSURGENTS
SAID TO BE SUCCESSFULLY
ACCOMPLISHED.

ST. Petersburg, Jan. 2.-The policy
of repressing the revolutionists con-
tinues with vengeance. Their an
l|ouncement that they proposed to
carry on a guerrilla warfare until a
Ptaeral armed revolt is prepared has
'-nulated the government to redou-
nd energy. A band of terrOrists is
! own to be at work here and during
l g night there were wholesale
>arches for suspects. The city pris-
rs are so Overcrowded that hundreds
ave been removed to Schlusselburg
fortress and to the fortress of st. Pc
ter and st. Paul. Government spies
are at work among the workmen and
revolutionary societies with instruc-
lions to give warning of meetings,
which are Immediately surrounded, the
members searched for arms and the
ringleaders taken into custody. Never
theless, the Workmen's council and the
executive committee Of the social rev
OlutiOnists are managing to evade ar
rest and are meeting each day at a
different place in the outskirts Of the
city. The patrols are understood to
have orders not to spare bullets if they
are attacked by persons using bombs
or revOlvers.
An interview with Governor General
Doubassoff is printed in which he eX-
plains that the duration of the revolt
is owing to the extent Of the region in
which the military forces are operat-
ing and owing to the lack Of troops,
reinforcements from Warsaw and st.
Petersburg before giving the revolu-
tionists their death blow

The Dominican gunboat Independent

little probability of bombardment of
Puerto Plata by the Morales gunboat
Independence, as threatened The
United States gunboats Nashville and
Scorpion are now in the harbor and
negotiations are in progress which

ALL. FOND OF PEANUTS.
Delicacy Relished by All Animals
Even the Hippopotamus Devours
Them with Pleasure.

1.-THE peanut is delicacy relished by
all creatures" said New York animal
lover. II have come to this conclusion
after having offered it to every animal
in the Central Park ZOO, and having 1t
refused by none.
"Oh, know it isn't allowed; but I'm
not one of those individuals who offer
animals indiscriminate numbers of
boiled eggs, frankfurters, cheese
sandwiches and cigar stumps. It's for
that sort of nuisance the rule about
feeding is made. A single peanut can't
ruin the digestion of a camel-or of
any other creature. for that matter,
and l never visit the zoo without a
bag or two of those legumes to dis
= tribute.
Yes, the camel is fond of them
very; and so are the peacocks. The
hippopotamus obligingly opens his
mouth to let me toss one in, cut the
mouth is SO large and the peanut SO
small that I doubt If he can quite de-
eide whether he likes it or not

horse-like head out to me. munches the
peanut with relish, and then begs for
more. The elephant, deer, ostrich, and
even the lion. are all lovers of the pea

Glass That Keeps Out Heat.

An Austrian inventor, Richard Szig-
moEdy, is reported to have made new
kind of window glass whose chief pc
culiarity is that it prevents the pass
age of nine-tenths of the heat of the
suns rays.
1t is well known that ordinary win
dow glass allows nearly all of the heat
derived from the sun to pass through,
but, on the other hand, intercepts all
heat coming from non-luminous
sources, such as a stove or the heated
ground. This is the roasor why heat
accumulates under the glass roof of a
hothouse.
If covered with Szigmondy's glass a
hothouse would. it is claimed, become
n cold house. since the heat could not
get into it.. One advantage set forth
in favor of the new glass is that a
house whose windows were furnished
with it would remain delightfully."- cool
in summer. But in winter, perhaps,
the situation would not be so agreeable
