STILL PAYING PREMIUMS.
Mutual Reserre ReceiCers Haze Got
5000 from PoHcyhOlders.

The receivers appointed by Judge Ward. in
Reserve Life Insurance Company, have received
in cash more than 100000 from the poIicyhoId-
ers of that company. These receivers have been
in office hardly twenty-five days.
BY direction of the court the receivers are
holding this money on deposit in various banks
in this city and until further order OF the court
they will be unable to touch il or TO use il in
any way in connection with their management
of the affairs of the company
The money. according to Archibald C. Haynes.
former president of the Mutual Reserve and now
one Of it's directors, has been paid by policy
holders to meet premiums which have fallen
due since the Mutual Reserve went into the
hands OF receivers, to meet the last liens
charged by vote of it's directors, and TO meet
the special assessments which charged
against the assessment class of policyholders
not long before the appointment of receivers
1T is surprising said Mr.. Haynes. -Consid-
erng the circumstances. how readily the policy
holders have met these charges. We are receiv-
ing money every day. and the amount is rapidly
increasing.
The Court has directed that policy shall
lapse for thirty days because Of failure to pay
premium falling due within that time The
thirty-day period ends April TO- and by that
time the receivers hope that they may have
some definite plan prepared to submit TO the
policyholders and that the Court will ap-
prove.

PROTEST AGAINST FOOD.
Columbia Students Say That "COm-

Once the students of Columbia University
have started campaign against the Commons"
otherwise the commssary department of the uni
versty. which in the last few months has been
dubbed "the trough" Complaints have been
mon over the quality of the food and the service.
The first shot in the crusade fired yes
terday by THE Columbia Spectator in story
which charged mismanagement in the university
dining halls system The students charge that
not only is the service bad but the food is so
poor that even hungry students find it impossible
to eat 1t. Another Of complaint is the high
price charged for the food.
They also charge that when complaints are made
to the manager of the Commons or any of his
ASSISTANTS they treated with scant respect.
one of the students, who was employed check
err In the main dining hall, is quoted as saying
that he had received instructions to get out of every
complaint, if he had TO lie about il This.
The Spectator claims, shows up the management
in peculiar light.
Many instances of finding queer things IN the
pies and rolls told, and the students have now
had specimens of the food turned over to some Of
unversitys chemists to have them analyzed And
here is what the students charged for the food
Rolls which only 10 cents dozen retail. sold
at two for cents. The wholesale price is Z cents
a dozen Pies which cost IS cents, are cut up into
eight portions and sold for ) cents portion, with a
profit Of over 100 per cent. Graham waters are
sold eight for nickel, while in another restaurant
near by twelve were sold for the same price,,
half the retail grocers price, and not nearly as
good Soda crackers twenty-four of which may be
bought in any for cents. cost three times
that much at the Commons
In addition it is well known that the plates and
silver are often dirty and the trays are usually
wet and covered with the grease from the dirty
water In which they arc dipped as there is no pre-
tence made washing them"
j. J. Cowan, the manager of the Commons, says
everything possible was done the welfare of the
students Mr. Cowan has been at the head of the
dining a lis in the university for the last Ve years
and in that time many complaints have been mace.
The of the eating hall is not directly
under the university authorities, but the reforms
advocated by the students in the present movement
include the adoption of the system In practice at
Yale where the manager of the dining hail is
regularly paid university official, who merely over
sees the preparation of the food
Mr. Cowan says The Spectator has published
a slanderous article, but he has given them until
Monday to retract several Of their statements The

even more startling disclosures in the next few

than century after it was built, in 1866 Wash

ever since they have borne his name.
In the last half-century the elms have been dying

sadly yesterday and watched the beginning of the

tree into pieces and remove them. for the Trinity
Corporation is no believer in undue haste and the
smallest bough falling one of the worn old tomb
