sLooP GOES TO JUNK PILE.
Historic War Vessel Condemned and
Sold for $4,21o.

lphia-After having wealth.
cred storms for nearly three-quarters
of century the old sloop-of-war St
Louis has been sold by the governor
to junk dealer of this city for $4,21O
The vessel was condemned by board
of surveyors at League Island navy
yard, and it was decided by the navy
department that it should be sold, the
upset price being fixed at $4,000. The
great amount of copper in the old
hulk made it more than usually val
liable.
The st. Louis was built at Washing
ton in 1928, and was the vessel with
which Capt Ingraham overawed an
Austrian squadron in the harbor of
Smyrna and secured the release of an
American citizen who was held a
prisoner on the Austrian flagship.
Capt. lngraham cleared for action and
served notice that he would open fire
on the squadron if the man was not
surrendered by certain hour. Be-
fore the time limit expired the man
was sent on board the st. Louis.

Ex-MAYoR OF NEW YORK TOWN
is EWICTED.
Jeremiah Casey, of Edgewater, N. u,
Loses Fortune in Litigation-Rise
and Fall Due to His Inven-
tive Genius.

New York-At one time affluent,
Jeremiah Casey, formerly mayor of
Edgewater, on the Palisades, the 9TH
er day was elected from the home he
had bought three years ago and all
the possessions he had left in the
world were set out in the street. His
wife was so shocked by this latest bit
ter experience that she collapsed and
had to be placed in a doctors care.
Casey's later years have been full of
hard luck and litigation. About all
the money he once possessed has been
spent in lawsuits.
His prosperity and adversely are
due almost entirely to his inventive
genius. Several years ago he invented
mailing machine. The device could
take the requisite amount of timber,
after it had been sawed to the proper
length, and make a box of it as good,
II not better, than one made by a car
penter. A company was organized to
build the machines and put them in
operation. Casey asserts he was not
treated properly by the concern. At
any rate he lost his interest in the
patent and in the company as well.
That started long line of legal pro-
ceedings which dragged through many
courts and took much money. Casey

THE REoRGANIZED NEW YORK
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board of Trustees Of the
New York Life Insurance Company,
chosen by the policyholders under the
Armstrong laws, has taken charge of
the company's affairs and has begun
the work of reorganization.
In choosing the principal officers of
the company, the Board has adhered
to the idea that life insurance COM
pany should be managed by life in
surance men. The new president Is
Darwin P. Kingsley, a college bred
man of good New England stock, who
has been in the company's service in a
variety of capacities for period of
nearly twenty years. In the parlance
of life insurance, he began with the
rate book" and has advanced step by
step up to his present position.
The first vice president of the COM
pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has
served the company for more than a
quarter Of century,-indeed has
never had any other business connec-
ton.
Associated with these men are
others long trained in the company's
service, each an expert in his own de-
who has for many years had charge
Of the company's great business If
Europe, is one of the second vice pres
.dents, and will continue at the head
Of the company's office in Paris.
Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in
the companys service for nearly forty
years, ranks next to Mr.. Buckner as
vice president, and continuous as chief
actuary Of the company.
The policyholders have expressed
their belief in this company in no I'M
certain terms. The upheaval in life in
surance within the last two years has
resulted in a great deal of misunder-
standing and policyholders, alarmed on
matters which were not very clear to
them, have been disposed to give up
their contracts at heavy sacrifice.
This has not been true in the New York
| Life to any great extent. The COM
pany had $4,000 100000 insurance on
its books when the life insurance in
vestigation began, and while the laws
Of the State of New York now do not
permit any company to write over
$150,000000 a year (Which is about
onehalf the New York Life formerly
did, the company's outstanding bust
ness still exceeds $4,000, 100000.
Policyholders generally will be still
further treasured by this action of the
Board, as it places at the head of the
company to protect their interests men
Of thorough training and unexception'
able character.

collected the records of these trials
and several hundred pages of scrap
books were needed to hold them.
Back in the days when he was pros
porous he bought the old Bayard Cut
ting homestead on the Palisades, op-
posite One Hundred and Tenth street,
and went there to live with his family.
Instead Of being haven of rest, the
place proved to be another source Of
legal difficulties. He said he had good
reason to believe he had paid for
more land than he found specified in
the deed. More lawsuits were started
Then his taxes, to his mind, were too
high for the property, and he refused
to pay the assessment. Threat of a
sale of the land for taxes brought an
adjustment, but the property had only
just begun to give trouble. There was
mortgage on it. This, in the course
of time, was foreclosed and the prop
erty was sold at auction. DR.. M. S..
Ayres became the owner of the Casey
home. The doctor took no steps to
GUST Casey, and it seemed as if I'M
kind fate had decided to give short
respite to the former mayor.
A short time ago, however, DR..
Ayers sold the homestead to a manu-
featuring concern. DESTROYS of build
ing new plant, the company asked
Casey to get out. He refused, assert
ing he had a right paramount to
theirs. They did not think so, and
constables elected Casey.
Nellie Casey daughter of the one
time mayor, was a schoolmate of
Grace George, and is now a member
of Miss Georges company.

place at Mt. Vernon, N. Y, May ~,
and was not made public until the
couple arrived in Spokane a few days
ago. Mrs. Corbin is 80 years of age,
while her husband is 20. Close friends
say 1t was love match.
Mrs. Corbin's romance reads more
like one of Hans Christian Anderson's
| fairy tales than story OF modern lie
in the active and virile northwest.
| The daughter of small farmer In
rural Sweden, as a little girl she
I dreamed of the future, and before she
attained her majority she came TO
America, like many of her country
men and women, to improve her sta
| ton in life.
After working in various house
holds in New England and the middle
western states, she came to SPOKANE
| IL years ago and entered the home OF
d. C. Corbin as housekeeper and
companion to Mrs. Corbin. She gained
the friendship of Mrs. Corbin, VINO
assisted the girl with her education.
Shortly before Mrs. Corbin died, six
years ago, Anna married Antoine re-
| terson, at that time identified with
| local hardware firm, but they lived TO-
gether only a few weeks, and TWO
years afterward the young woman OBJ
| tanned divorce at Tacoma.
Before her marriage she invested
her savings in realty, which she SOLD
profltably, and with the proceeds went
| to Chicago and placed herself under
| instructors, afterward going to Bos-
| ton and New York, whence she went
abroad with a teacher and three other
pupils on an educational tour,
She travelled extensively a year,
| and in the meantime entered into cor
respondence with her former employ
err, who asked her hand in marriage
three years ago. She gave her con-
sent several weeks ago, when Mn
Corbin started eastward on a business
trip, and they were married at the
home of friend, the bride being CIV
en- away by her brother, Hjalmer Lar
son, who is chief craftsman for the
| Spokane international system.
| Mrs. Corbin is of the Swedish type
of beauty and has light hair and blue
eyes. She is brilliant conversation
alist and speaks English with scarce
ly trace of accent. She is also con-
| versant with the French and German
| languages. She is a member of the
| Swedish Lutheran church, and 1t is
said by intimate friends that she will
use considerable of the fortune placed
at her disposal by her husband in as
sisting her countrywomen and in
works of charity.
Through her marriage she becomes
the mother-in-law of the earl of OK
ford, whose wife is Mr.. Corbin's
daughter.

1t was on Saturday and less than

Abby let her in, and she walked, with

When she came down, two hours
after, she said that she had gathered
her things together, and would send

"You-you may come and see me If

An ironical smile flickered about
her fathers mouth. Guess we should
have been apt to hear of it from Sc

Abby went thoughtfully up into the
attic, where Aunt Seliny had thought
things out" There were tiny bits of
paper scattered in a corner, as If q

together; but 1t was in vain; they were
so small she could only make out the

man.
She ran down across the orchard,
holding up her apronful of the bits of
paper. at isn't right! You must have

BOY HAS PLAN TO FEED HORSES
Automatic Labor-Savlng Device is the
Work of Fourteen-Year-Old.

Middleboro, Mass.-One Of the most
unique displays in the home work de-
partment at the recent exhibition CIV
en- by the pupils of the public schools
was the automatic horse feeder made
by Arthur Ripley, a 14-year-old high
school student. Visiting teachers and
superintendents were much interest
ed in this labor-savlng device, and the
young electrician was kept busy dur
ing the exhibition explaining his feed
err and demonstrating it's usefulness.
1t consisted of large box with two
partitions for the different kinds of
grain. the bottom of which was hung
on hinges. A lever which held the
bottom in position was connected with
the alarm gear of common alarm
clock, which was put in a small box
on the side of the grain receptacle
The time of the clock in front CORE
sponded with the time on the clock in
side the box.
The alarm is set at the time the
horses are to be fed, and the farmer
could then go about his other work,
and at the proper time the alarm
would go off, releasing the lever and
dropping the bottom of the box, which
allowed the grain to fall into the
Manager in front of the horse. A small
electric light is attached to the upper
side of the clock box, which shows the
farmer where the box is without a
lantern, so that the possibility of set
ting fire to the barn is averted. Each
day the box is filled with grain and
the lever adjusted.
