INSURANCE ADJUSTMENT.
Important Decision by the Law Court
of Maine.

Important Decision by the Law Court
of Maine.
An important decision in regard to in
suranee adjustment has recently been
handed down by the law court in a
Washington county case. The rescript
follows:
l. All the referee provided for in the Maine
standard fire insurace policy to fix the amou t
of the loss must be disinterested men. not only
in the narrow sense Of being without relation
ship and pecuniary interest. but also in he
broad, full sense OIL being competent, impair
tial, fair and open minded and substantially
Indifferent In thought and feeling between the
parties and without partizanship or bias either
way.
2. When II appears that even one of the ref.
erees was not thus disinterested the award in
which he Joined wi be set aside
8. An unexplained refusal by a referee nom
mated by the insurance company to agree upon
any man In the vicinity of the property as the
third referee is unreasonable, and is evidence of
want of the requisite dsinteresiedness. Such
refusal COUPLED with the explanation that 1t is
because of the lection of the insurance COM
paDy the et' shows disqua fyirg partizanship.
Under this decision judgment was
given for liaib.if III an d ;tion against an
insurance company.
For lol,; time past tn re has been con-
siderable criticism about the manner
taken by the fire insurance companies do
ing business in Maine in the adjustment
of fire losses, and the claim has freely been
made that the spirit OF the Maine
law was being violated even if the letter
had been observed. There has been con-
siderable contention in the selection of
referees for the adjustment Of losses, and
the claim has been made that the referees
chosen by the companies have not been
disinterested in the spirit of the law
| which was framed for the protection
| of the insured.
The result of the discussion has been
that in the last two sessions of the legis-
lature determined efforts have been made
to overturn the Maine standard policy.

Bingen as a Sire.

Bingen's success in the stud has been
truly wonderful, writes Frank G. Trott,
in the Boston Globe. Not only has he
gotten speed uniformly but he has trans
mitted his handsome and strong conform
alton to marked degree. The "Bingen
back" is common expression in this
section of the country, and it is difficult
for breeder to lead out a Bingen young
ster and not have his visitor remark: "No
need to tell the sire of that one."
Speed and conformation are not the only
fine characteristics that he stamps his Off
spring with, for the young Bingens are
good headed, every one of them. They do
not have to be broke. Put a harness on
them and drive them, that is all there is to
it. Electrics, steam trains and autos look
alike to them, and after the first look they
pay no attention to them. The first and
unquestionably the most essential requi-
site for race horse is speed, but manners
are almost as necessary.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 81 Especially
= One OF the saddest and most mysterious
deaths in Washington for long time oc-
Cured last week in the death of Josephine
Eva Kent, an attractive young woman who
once lived at Ellsworth. Size had main
tanned manicuring establishment here,
but was taken i'll as the result Of an injury,
which some say possibly resulted from an
operation. She died apparently without
friends at local hospital For several
days her body was retained ct Wright's
undertaking establishment, while the
police were busy seeking some clue to the
identity of her relatives.
1t was known that she lived six years
ago in Ellsworth, but a telegram to that
place disclosed that the whereabouts of
her parents were unknown. She had few,
il any, friends here, and those who knew
her have been very reticent about her
except to say that she always told them
she was unmarried, and that both her
parents were dead. The undertaken had
made ready to bury her last Friday in
Rock Creek cemetery, but was stopped by
the coroner.
A dispatch from he police in Boston
announced that her mother, Mrs. Huida
Kent, is now living in Brooklyn, at
Rochester and New York avenues. The
police have been trying to ascertain from
her what disposition she wishes made of
her daughters body. Miss Kent had an
insurance policy of 800, which will be
ample to pay all the expenses of her inter
ment.

Things look pretty dark for the enact
ment of a ship subvention at this session
of Congress. AS the bill passed the SEN
ate, where Mr.. Frye was one of its earnest
champions, it would have afforded quite a
subsidy to certain sailing vessels owned
on the coast of Maine and engaged in the
foreign trade. Representatives Burleigh
and Littlefield, aided by the other Maine
congressman, have been working to get
the bill out of the House committee on
merchant marine and fisheries, where it
is now impounded, and where it will
probably stay for some time to come.
Speaker Cannon thinks the time in
opportune for the passage of such legis-
lation but delegations are calling upon
him to give careful consideration to the
Atlantic coast states, whose delega-
tions want the bill enacted into
law. Mr.. Cannon comes from Illi-
nois, an interior state, which has little or
no interest in foreign shipping.
Chicago interests want the bill passed,
but Mr.. Cannon comes from the central
portion Of the state, where the people care
little about maratime matters. The efforts
to get the bill out Of committee have not
ceased, however. II it fails at this session

ADVERTISEMENTS.
TURN WOMEN
AWAY FROM DRUGS
Dangerous Stimulants No Longer Needed
-Rexall Mucu-Tone Brings Per.
manent Health and ViSor

"My husband worries so, Doctor, YOU
simply must give me something to key
me up-something that will make me
bright and cheerful when he comes homo
at night"
Thousands Of unfortunate women arc
in just this position-women who arc
rapidly breaking down in body and whose
minds are becoming dark and dull with
suffering and despair.
They have tried to fight off i'll health;
have struggled to keep up in spite of pain
and weakness that their husbands should
not guess their condition.
At last comes day when they can do
this no longer. Their strength is gone;
their will power no longer strong enough
to carry them through. So they turn to
druggist and doctor, not for slow acting
tonics that will gradually restore health,
but for some drug that will give tempo
rary strength-that will key them up
that will make them bright and cheer
full" for even few hours.
The result of such course needs no
comment. How different it would have
been had they turned to Rexall Mucu-
Tone instead of drugs. From the first
dose Mucu-Tone's strengthening influence
is felt but instead of running mind and
body, it restores both to health and vigor.
Read what it did for Mrs. Funk:-
A WONDERFUL RECOVERY.
Thank Heaven for Rexall Mucu-Tone II
has given me back health and strength after
years Of weakness, pain and physical exhaus-
ton. was completely broken down and Ger.
tainly looked ten years older than am Local
treatment would benefit me temporarily but in
few weeks my trouble always returned worse
than ever. Then heard of your Mucu-T Tone,
complaints of this nature by taking anything
in the stomach, determined to give Mucu-Tone
trial. l can't tell you how glad | am that
up and give me new strength, and by the time
the first bottle was gone all disagreeable symp-
toms had disappeared. am now finishing the
second bottle and can truthsaly say never
felt better in my life. eat well, sleep well
and have already gained seven pounds in
weight

SUSAN 3. ANTHONY DEAD.
Attack of Pneumonia Ends the Life of
the Noted Advocate of Won ]
ans Rights.

Rochester, N. Y, March 13.-Miss
Susan B. Anthony is dead. The long
and eventful life of the noted suffra-
gist closed at 12:4O o'clock this morn
ing. The end was peaceful.
DR.. M. S. Kicker, her attending ply
sician, said Miss Anthony died of
heart failure induced by double pneu-
monia. She has had serious valvular
heart trouble for the last six or seven
years. Her lungs were practically
clear and the pneumonia had yielded
to treatment, but the weakness of her
heart prevented her recovery.
Miss Anthony was greatly beloved
in this city, which had been her home
since 1S45. She lived to see a decade
change in sentiment from the time, in
the winter of 1861, when she was
Missed and hooted when she attempted
to give lecture on abolition in Cor
Inthian hall. That lecture tour, which
started in Buffalo, was a series of
riots, but Miss Anthony never finch
ed. The insults heaped upon her cul-
minated in Syracuse, where she was
egged and burned in effigy.
With the exception of Julia Ward
Howe, she was the sole survivor o. tse
early suffrage advocates who too % IT
in the movement inaugurated ct the
famous convention held in Seneca
Falls in 1S48. which was the first WON
ans rights convention.

STORM IN THE ROCKIES.
Fall of Snow Breaks All Records
Damage by Flood Is
Threatened.

Fresno, Cal, March ia storm Of
unprecedented severity has been raging
for the past GO hours and the region
between the San Joaquin and Kings
rivers is threatened with the greatest
flood in years. The fall of snow In the
mountains exceeds all records. Tele-
phone advices from Pine Ridge, which
is at the. 5,O0O-feet altitude, say al
ready over II feet Of snow has fallen,
and at the summit the depth is said to
be over % feet. Both the Kings and
the San Joaquin are above the danger
line. The residents OF the Garfield
vineyards district worked all night in
a binding rain, building levees, but
their work went for nothing when a
huge overflow wave went sweeping
through that district Friday morning.
Fancher creek, flowing south Of Fresno
into canals OF the Fresno Irrigation
Canal company, is beyond control, and
is laying waste vineyards. Already
miles OF land are covered with five feet
of water. After a night of terror the
500 people Of Laton, on Kings river, Fri
day morning moved in body on to
the grade of the Santa Fe railway The
levees about the town, which are six
feet high, were beginning to overflow,
and advices from the mountains were
to the effect that still greater floods
we're coming.

to the wreck at once. AS quickly as
possible the injured were placed in
the sleepers and the engine of the re-
lief train started back to Pueblo with
them, and also the passengers of the
east-bOund train who had been saved,
Another relief train came from Flor
ence, and the engine was coupled to the
sleepers of No. 16 and as many of the
bodies of the dead as could be removed
from the wreck at that time placed
aboard. This done, the searchers be-
gan picking up bones, pieces of burnt
clothing and personal property Of the
victims of the disaster, until several
boxes had been filled. These rema ms
were placed aboard the unchanged
sleepers of No. 16 and taken to Port

Hewitt and w. L. Hewitt, are among
the injured in the hospital here, each
of them having leg fractures in addi-

Two victims of the wreck were Dep

whom Baird was taking TO the peni-
Tertiary at Canon City. The officer
was killed instantly. Whitney was
burned to death. But for the shaclIes
on his wrists he could have escaped.
