an hour afterward, before either Atkins
or Richardson, being employed their
Hyde matter.
1t was Atkins who, at the dinner hour,
first entered Dixon's commercial room. In
the front of Dixon's was announced a
''Daily--Ordinary," the two words being
separated by a great gap where the word
Shilling" now painted out, had once stood.
AS Atkins entered the room, he saw the
back of the stranger. who was leaving 1t
by door which led to the bed rooms above,
and he started
The whole interest of his life was in
stantly conferred upon this man; there was
something in his appearance. his dress,
which aroused the instinct of the reporter.
About the man was the brine and odor Of
the sea.
A. this time bit of news was to the
people OF Britain like rain to the desert.
Men often spent their very last haif-penny
In buying paper, which they knew could
tell them little more than they already
knew.
We have said that Atkins was Interested
at sight of the stranger: but this interest
became a passion the moment that, APP
preaching a spread side table, he saw be-
side soiled plate piece of paper; and on
the paper; certain name written at the
bottom of a pronlise-to-pay. together with
a London address
1t had happened that the stranger had to

with q meal and bed, but had lent him

night. The promis<.-to-pay he had In "a

there was a breath of haste at his lips. He

night at the club"
Atkins diplomacy was bad, for his walk
toward the door, for one thing, was too
rapid to be natural; and Richardson had
noted his statueque pose. his rather pale
face and his unmoving hand on the paper
So he had no sooner passed through the
door, than Richardson, too, had read: and
at once he. too. rushed to the door, But 1t
was locked on the outside.
The thought of summoning slow Mr.. Dix
on by the bell never even entered his head;
he simply few to the window, dashed up
the sash, dropped into the area, and
climbed up to the rails on the opposite side
by the help of swinging coal cellar door.
Yonder halfway down the street, was
Atkins running with all his legs. Richard
SON, as though life lay before, and death be-
hind. was after him.
Atkins however. was considerably taller
and 'fieeter, Richardson being inclined to
rat; and the race was clearly the foremost
mans. when, suddenly there appeared from
a bye-street. with callous saunter, a police
man about ten yards ahead of Atkins.
And at once Richardson sent forth the
impassioned shout of stop thief! Stop
thief! many times repeated
And an instant later Atkins was firmly
gripped in the arms of the officer.
LET me CO. Jones, you Internal fototP
screamed Atkins you ought to know bet
ter. you id foolI Can't you guess-Jones,
you silly ass
But Jones, with jealous sense of duty,
maintained his grip the frantic man, TIL
he saw the accuser myster.ously rush on
ward past the accused. And he tossed his
head with a smile, he relaxed his hold
of Atkins: and he said:
''Oh. well, suppose It's only one Of their
little newspaper squabbles-
So Richardson only reached the telegraph
Office about ten seconds before Atkins: and
the telegraph man was engaged to atkins
sister.
And therefore the Sun got its message
some five minutes before the News; but by
some sleight-of- hand, or extra energy, the
News not outdone. 1t reached Picca-
dilly Circus some fifteen seconds before
the Sun, though the Sun was first at Hol-

HE WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF
KEEPING Y. M. G. A. BUILDING
UNDER CONTROL OF DIVISION
OFFICIALS.

Richmond will not have a railroad
Y. NJ. c.. A., and it will be a year or
two before it gets the railroad rest
rooms, which have been so much
talked of recently When approach
ed upon the matter yesterday Super
intendent Neff, stated: There will be
no Pennsylvania railroad Y. M. c. A.
in this city for two or three reasons.
For one, l do not think that a Y. M.
c. A. building is needed as bad among
the railroad men here, as it is in
other places. Richmond affords all
the first class attractions for the men
that they need They can secure
first class board and room with 9th
Accommodations. In many towns where
they need such Accommodations Y. NJ.
G.. AS. are a good thing, but al
though l thoroughly believe that Y.
M. G. AS. are all right, they some
times do not fill the bill with rail
readers. If we get railroad rest
room in Richmond it will have all
the Accommodations of Y M. G. A.
but / will be in favor of keeping it
under the control of the railroad, and
not under the Y. NJ. G. A. organiza-
ton | do not believe that a rest
room will be established here soon
as many other cities along the sys
tenn need them worse than we do
here.
The railroad has built two Y NJ c.
AS recently that have cost them
thousands of dollars and it will be
some time before the officials will
consider building one here"

or credited to the policy holder as
fixed liability. Another recommends
ton is of revision of mortality tab
les and a readjustment of valuations
of business based on the results
shown. A limitation of expenses is
also favored
The committee makes sharp COM
ment on the high financiering' of
o. L. Van Laningham and the nego-
tiation of agency company contracts
with him, first the sale to him of
Western territory for $250,O00 and
the attempted sale of this same ter
ritOry shortly after to the State
Agency Company at an advance of
$250,0OO prevented by injunction.
The committee recommends that
the Auditor serve notice on the Off
GERS of the State Life Company and
the Great Western Agency Company
that the contracts formerly made
with O. L. Van Laningham and as
signed to the Great Western Agency
company, and the contract with the
State Agency Company and assigned
to the Great Western Agency Com
pany are fraudulent, in that they pro-
vide renewal commissions on insur-
ance existing prior to the execution
of the contracts and with the obtain
ing of which the parties to the con-
tract had nothing to do. 1t recon-
mends also that the sale of stock in
the Great Western Agency Company
with State Life insurance policies be
forbidden by the same notice, and be
treated as an unlawful act.
Examination of State Life.
A special examination of the State
Life Insurance Company is being
made by the Auditor, and has been
in progress for some time. The Audi
tor will in the near future, conduct
an oral examination of the officers of
the company touching certain mat
tiers. From the committees investi-
cation it declares it's conviction that
the State Life lis a solvent institu-
ton. Its reserves are computed
on per cent basis, which creates
a higher proportionate reserve than
any other Indiana company" says
the report. Its assets, with the
exception of policy loans, which are
purely premium notes, are also above
criticism" Its large issue of special
contracts. the committee says, can be
rendered harmless by scientific meth
DDS. With the reforms suggested the
company should succeed greatly, the
committee says. 1t is recommended
that the present proxy system main
tanning a self-perpetuating board be
oyerthrown by legislation, and that
no proxies be valid more than a
year, so that the directors will feel
dependent on the policy holders for
annual election. 1t is also recon-
mended that the affairs of mutual
companies be conducted by not less
than fifteen directors.

Citizens Company and the

Consolidation.
BELL GETS TOLL BUSINESS
IT rs SAID THAT MERGER HAS
BEEN so ARRANGED THAT IN
DEPENDENT WILL NOT LOSE
ITS FRANCHISE.

on account of the attempts of the
Bell Telephone Company to but out
the Home Phone Company in Rich
mond, the following dispatch from
kokomo will be read with interest:
Kokomo now has the only one tele-
phone exchange. AT II o'clock Sunday
night the last connection was made,
merging the plants of the Citizens
Telephone Company and the Central
Union Telephone Company.
The management of the Citizens
company announced today a working
agreement had been reached between
the two companies that would make
it possible for the business of both
to be done through one exchange.
Under the terms of the merger, all
subscribers of the Central Union
company have the privilege of calling
any subscriber of the Citizens COM
pany and vice versa. In the matter
of toll service, the Citizens company
will give long distance business to
Bell lines to points not reached by
the new long distance company's lines
Chance of Forfeiture Avoided.
1t is said the merger has been
made along lines that keeps it from
conflict with that clause of the Citi-
zens company's franchise which for
bids that company, on penalty of for
fixture of it's franchise and all it's
property to the city, to enter into
any agreement with another tele-
phone company for the purpose of
creating monopoly in the telephone
business in Kokomo.
The Citizens company has approx
mately $500 subscribers and the Cen
trail Union has only $50. 1t is gener-
ally believed here that the merger
means that the Central Union has
obtained control of the Citizens COM
pany and that the Citizens company
exists only in name. The business
hereafter will be done through what
has been the Citizens company's eX-
change and office.

Colonel Littleton w. T. Waller of the
marine corps. who has been ordered to
Havana to assume command Of all the
marines in Cuba, is noted for his rec
ord in Cuba, in China and in the Philip
pines. He was appointed to the marine
corps from Virginia and was commits
stoned second lieutenant in 1880. He
became a captain in 1890 During the
American campaign against the Span
iards for the freedom of Cuba he made
q fine record In the fighting around
Santiago and was thanked by span
iards for his kindness to those of the
enemy who were captured by men in
his command. During the campaign in
China for the suppression of the Boxers
he was in command of the American
marines after the relief Of Colonel r. L.
Meade and for his bravery under fire
and excellent handling of his men was
advanced to the grade of major. 1t
was not long after this that he made
an expedition across the island Of S@-
mar that brought him both praise and
blame. The marines went through ter
rible suffering in this expedition, were
on the verge of starvation and were
surrounded by treachery and conspir
acy on the part of the natives. 1t was
under these conditions that he gave an
order for the killing of three natives
without trial, an act for which he
was afterward court martialed. Though
