TRUST NEVER was DISSOLVED
GOVERNMENT ATTORNEY SHOWS
UP SOME MORE ENORMOUS
PROFITS.

New York, Sept. 29.-Frank B. Kel-
logg, conducting the suit of the United
States for the dissolution of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey, made
another hunt yesterday for trail to
the long-sought books of the Standard
Oil trustees and liquidating trustees.
When the hearing was concluded Mr..
Kellogg said that he was closer to the
books, from which he hopes to prove
that the oil combine never underwent
legal dissolution.
Charles White, assistant secretary
of the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, said on the witness stand that
when he went to the secretary's Office
there were two steel safes in the Of
flee.
Mysterious Safe Disappears.
One of them contained the books
and records Of the Standard company.
What was in the other safe he did not
know. Mr.. White said no one told him
the contents of the second safe, which
was removed two weeks after he had
been there. From whom the order
came or where the safe was taken the
witness said he could not tell. Mr..
White said that he had never seen the
records of the Standard Oil trustees
or the liquidating trustees, showing the
various transfers of stock in the trust
liquidating period. He said that he
had hunted for records recently, but
was unable to find any.
More testimony was taken to show
the profits of some of the Standards
subsidiary pipe lines, which the gov
ernment's counsel declares are excess
sive and maintained to prevent ship
ments of crude oil by Independent pro.
ducers.
More Big Profits.
George Chesbro, controller Of the
several pipe lines, testified that the
Southern Pipe Line Company of Penn
sylvania earned s4,376,61S gross in
1890, and that the operating expenses
were only s316,522 The balance sheet
of the company for that year showed
the net plant investment to be $2,215,-
666. The company's balance sheet
showed an item of $2,607,S56 as pay
ment to ]. P. Trainor, charged to op-
Grating expenses. Mr.. Chesbro said
that he could give no information
about the Trainor account. In 1900
the balance sheet showed $3.50 1888
paid to Mr.. Trainor.
The case was adjourned until next
Thursday in order that John G.. Mil

might attend the Mckinley monument
dedication in Canton, Ohio.

Courtship Formally Adopted as a
 Course in Illinois Town.

Professor II. G. Russell, superin- tendent of the high school. has intro duced instruction in lOvemaking into the school curriculum. Parents of some of the pupils declare they do not want their children's thoughts turned so early to love, but Professor Russell and his wife. who is his as- sistant, say they will see the expert ment through. Russell thinks in time cOurtship will be taken out of the realm of empyricism and lifted into the realm of exact science, as chem. istry followed alchemy.
 Twenty-three pupils, ten of whom are girls. constitute the first class in the world to receive formal instruc- tion in cOurtship. Professor Russell has given them three lectures and they have written essays. The in- structiOn will be chiefly through study of the literature of love. including the courtship of Miles Standish. "Ro- meo and Juliet" and other standard works of fiction. Pupils will be ex- pected to learn:
 How to take heart by storm or by siege.
 How to detect the advent of the grand passion
 How to behave if parental Obiee- ltion is manifested
 How to pay a compliment.
 How to encourage bashfuI suitOr or corner an elusive girl.
 How to allay unfOunded jealousy.

ON HUNT FOR RARE COINS.
Tariffville Man Enlists Senator Bulk
 eley's Aid.

Joseph C. Mitchelson of Tariffville, who is on the trail of the original gold eagles according to the St Gauden de- sign, was d visitor at Washington yesterday. Only few of these coins were minted before they were with drawn from circulation on account of their edges being too sharp for com mercial use. The same is true of the double eagle, or S20 gold piece. Mir Mitchelson has one of the early dou- ble eagles of the new type, which is very rare. He was a member of the last government assay commission. and is said to have a finer collection of coins than Uncle Sam himself. Mir MitchelsOn enlisted Senator Bulkeley's aid in his search.
