SICK MAN WANTED CHANGE.
More Than willing to Make Transfer
with Physician.


A Syracuse business man who, be-
sides being extremely active and am
bilious, has much sense OF humor,
was taken sick with a slight attack OF
pneumonia. His physician, aware that
u would be q task TO keep his high
strung patient in bed. sought 10 i'm
press on him the seriousness OF the
ailment and the necessity OF absolute
rest; all OF which the sick man lis
tened 10 I'm a bored manner. Never.
theless he consented to obey the doc
tor.
But this enforced inactivity rankled
In him; and each succeeding day
found the patient importuning the
medical man attendant to allow him
TO get out 20 business. Then, dis
gusted. he would lie back TO cast i'm.
precautions at the inexorable physi-
clan.
One morning the physician, after
having been up all night on an I'm
portant case, appeared at his patients
house at the usual hour. He had hard
ly stuck HIS haggard face inside the
door, however, before the man in the
bed gave him a quick glance and sat
up.
"Eh? calculated the patient. Then
showing out his hand to grasp the doc
tors satchel. he added, Doc, / guess
you'd better get into bed here and
let me go out with the medicine
bag"

IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCES
Management of ProVident Savings
Life Assurance Society Is
Sharply Criticised.

New York, Jan. be. Z. Rittenhouse,
insurance commissioner of Colorado,
made public today his report on the ex-
animation of the Provident Savings Life
Assurance society. The report, addressed
to the officers of the society in New
York. includes the result of the examin-
alton by S. Herbert Wolfe, the consult
ing actuary who made the investigation
for the insurance commissioners of Colo
RADIO and New York. The management of
the company in the past is sharply criti-
cised in the report, as is the official con-
duct of e R. and o. F. Thomas and the
Philadelphia syndicate which made deal
to take ove~ the Thomas holdings in the
society. An impairment of the finances
of the company Is largely accounted for
the report states by the reduction in the
sOciety's valuation of it's real estate The
commissioner adds that he has already
suggested abolition of the official posi-
tions in the society, excepting president
and a curtailment of expenses during a
period of recuperation. If this retrench-
ment policy were pursued ii seemed prac-
ticaliy certain that the society would
emerge sound and solvent and be able to
resume writing new business in the near
future. The suggestion. however. he says.
has not up to the present time been
adopted by the new officers

it was on fire. He approached as near
to the door as he could and called out
loudly to warn the people inside, but
getting no response, concluded that
they were all visiting a neighbor. He
at once went to the latter place, only
TO find that the Shutters were not there,
and returned Immediately with party
intent on saving what property they
could from the flames. When the blaze
had been subdued to some extent, al
though the house was practically de-
strOyed, the neighbors were Mortified
to find the dead bodies of Mrs Sluter
and her four children in the ruins
Owing largely to their efforts the body
of the mother and two of the children
were not badly burned, but those of
the other two children were burned to
a crisp.
The evidences of a murder were very
plain. The motive for the crime is not
known, but it is expected that inves-
tigation viii shed much light on the
horrible affair. County Attorney Ayers,
Sheriff Martin and Coroner Attix left
here at 6 o'clock this afternoon in a
touring car for the Bottoms ranch, and
will arrive there by noon tomorrow.

from him on political matters for at

ment that he had expressed the most
pleasant friendly sentiments toward
Governor Hoke Smith, Senator Culber-
son and Governor Johnson, is concern
ed. it is literally true. I would not have
singled out these three gentlemen as
the recipients of expressly or uniquely

not doubt that any present probable
nominee of the Democratic convention

Boston. Jan. 19.-An ''army of the un-

the leadership of Morrison l. Swift, who
last week presented petitions for aid at

marched Unexpectedly to Trinity church
in COpley square. where Rev. Alexander
Mann, the rector, was delivering a ser

CATION. The men filed quietly into the
church and were assigned to seats after
the ushers had recovered from their
surprise.
Note Send Up to Pulpit.
Just before DIR. Mann was to begin
his sermon a note was sent to him by
one of the visitors, asking him to preach
on 1.-The Duty of the State and City
to the Unemployed" and to have a col
lection taken up for the benefit of the
unemployed of Boston.
DIR. Mann read the communication
aloud and stated that as the program
for the days services had been made
