INSURANCE MERGER
 PRESAGES OTHERS

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-Confirmed re- ports that the Consolidated Casualty company here has swallowed the Ma tional Casualty Insurance company of Louisville presage other mergers with the same company whose directors represent, it is said, s50,O00. GOO of per sonaI western and western and souia- ern wealth. The dominance of east ern insurance companies in ihe south ern and western fields is waning as a result of lusty growth by the new companies which have set out to re- tain in the heart of America the flood of insurance revenues, some $400, ,000- 900 year, which has been going to the east and to Europe.
 It transpires that the merger of the National Casualty with Consolidat- ed was effected by purchase, stock holders of the former having voted to accept stock of the Consolidated, share for share in exchange. It is said to have followed weeks of inves- tigation and negotiation. President Robert B. Armstrong of the Consoli- dated company having recently ac- cepted the proposition which was sub mitted. President Armstrong was for merry assistant secretary Of the United States treasury.
 As a result of the merger President C. c. McChord of the National vii became vice president of the Consoi- dated with headquarters at Louisville. He was for years president of the Ma tional Association of Railroad Com missioners and has national reputa- ton as an expert in interstate com merce law. He conducted the final negotiations, Robert w. Bingham Of Louisville and L.-W Moody acting for the Consolidated company.

NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE AND THE SUGAR TRUST.

1t would seem that the transactions pelled to pay into the United States whereby the Sugar Trust was com pelled to pay into the United States Treasury s2,O00. 900 which it had stol- en by weighing frauds, and to make restitution to the Pennsylvania com petitor it had bankrupted, are only installments in an almost unparallel- ed story of theft and plunder. Charges made by the New York Sun indicate that the sugar freebooters have been robbing the Government for more than twenty years, the total of steal ings amounting 10 upward of $30,OO0,- OOO.
 The estimates now made of the Trusts plunderings will be misnamed discoveries and revelations. In real fly they are neitber. They are in the nature of a casting up of accounts. Practically all the transactions are shown on the records of the New York Custom House. For years complaints have been rife that the Sugar Trust was making money by illegitimate methods-methods not only unlawful . in the sense that any trust is a con spiracy in restraint of trade. but un- lawful as measured by standards of

REVEALED BY GUESSING GAME

A certain peer, an important figure .a the upper chamber by reason or a very long and very bushy beard, had dismissed his valet for the night Shortly afterward, however, he was much annoyed to hear peals of laugh. ter from below, and called back the man to explain.
 The valet answered that 1t was j4st a little joke, but his Iordship would have none of 1t, and demanded details, gngrily.

FVUksEo FOR PAMrgRED Youa
New Occupation rcT Girls In London,
 and lt Pays We'll.

With the increasing craze for dogs of rare and valuable breeds as pets in England new employment for girls has been created. They can become dog nurses.
 It is no uncommon thing to see in the squares and parks a pretty girl ia . neat uniform with two or three valuable little dogs on leash, giving them their daily airing. She is a dog nurse, and this is only one of her duties.
 Besides the exercising of the pets the nurse must see 70 their food which is no small matter Special things are cooked and the dogs must be carefully watched while they eat to see that nothing goes wrong. Tben the bath is a serious affair. Some times . silver bathtub is used and scented wat@-.
 The pgrse must also look after ths toilet ef her charges. When they g. out with their mistress she must see that they are in proper trim. with their little coats-carefully brushed and cleansed and their jeweled collars bright and sparkling.
 After they have retired at night her time Is hez own, and for the most pErt she considers her five dollars a week very easily earned, for she has htr board and lodging provided as well as her uniform.
 One of the great requisites for the new profession is that the applicant ahall have an extinct sense of humor

Story of oxlnn 1nn,.

Attention has recently been directed to the number of trees in Glasgow which are in dying state, their sick ly condition being attributed to smoke. A correspondent mentions a singular coincidence in regard to five trees which John Pattison planted in the center of his garden in Keivingrove on the birth of his five sons. Two of his sons died early in the nineteenth century. but three livea till after 1850. when there were only three of the trees standing. On the night that his son Matthew died one of the trees fell, and on the night of Frederick and Johns death (some years be tween) one of the trees fell, certain U, as the writer remarks, & singular eoincidence-Glasgow Herald.

common honesty in dealings between man and man and the citizen and the government. s
 One could wish that Juvenal would appear to adequately write a satire upon the lameness of our legal re- sources against this powerful and pir- atic corporation. for as to much of what has happened. satire is the only redress, During the two decades in which the trust has been carrying on it's stealings with impunity. guilty par ties have died. and the intervention of the statute of limitations to pre- vent punishment for some of the more recent frauds, shows how little chance there is for even partial justice to be done. But the great suestion and one which will be unanswerable by the Republican administrations have re- mained idle and let the Sugar Trust work its wicked will.-National Monthly.

RELATION OF BODY AND MIND
Assertion Made That No Healthy Per
 son Is Wholly Bad.

The close relation of body and mind h the matter of physical health, oi which so much is said by various re' ligfous and semi-religious organiza, lions and by class of professional -healers." is considered from a dresE point of view by an English clergy, man. His argument is that no pe- son who Is healthy can be wholly bad. The clergyman further expressed tho conviction that there is a close con
 rection between health and morals
 and that the man who has reached middle age in sound bodily condition thereby proves that he has led de cent life. Tn support of his position he advanced the assertion that 2 large proportion of the convicts in English prison are physica; degener' ates. From this 1t would seem that he does not confne hls designation os badness" to the vices involved in in temperance and other forms of sensual dissipation. but. since convicts are guilty of many things apart from these, as theft. burglary, forgery and the like, holds that they are led to the perpetration Of even this class o' crimes by dsfe"+'ve bodily state

NEW MEXICO AND STATEHOOD.

Word comes from Washington tc the effect that the bitter fight going on among the republican politicians of New Mexico is likely to complicate matters affecting the opportunities oi that territory for admission as a state the coming winter.
 There are many applicants for the governorship which is to be vacated by Governor Curry and it is stated that there are many sides to the fight and that each applicant has strong sup porters.
 It seems that President Taft and Postmaster General Hitchcock have not reached an agreement as to who shall succeed Curry, and according to one correspondent in the national cap ital Hitchcock would gladly delay the admission of New Mexico for a year to give him time to clear the repub- lican political atmosphere there and give the new governor an opportunity to build up an efficient Hitchcock ma chine, or one that would be subservi- ent to the big chief, who presides over the postoffice department at Washing ton and also over the republican party of the nation, as head of the national committee
 Arizona will be much interested to see the outcome of the republican row in New Mexico, because of our own interest in statehood. The excuse for failure to pass the statehood bill for Arizona last winter was that condi- tions had been reported in New Mex ico which needed to be investigated before admitting that territory. It was necessary to hunt for an inves- tigation of Arizona at the time, but 1t was well known at the time that Bev- eridge and Nelson, of the senatorial committee on territories were as much opposed to the admission of Arizona as they were to New Mexico.
 So far as known there has been no investigation of New Mexico condi- tions since the last statehood bill was killed by any member Of the senate committee. Certain it is that the row in the republican party in that terri, tory has not abated any and present conditions there are certainly not fav' orable to the successof that party under present political conditions. II is hoped that this condition will not be the means of keeping Arizona out of the union, but there is danger oi this very thing.
 It is unfortunate that Arizona has been left with New Mexico as the only two remaining territories of the United States. Any condition in oul sister territory which would be bal to admission will necessarily delay thf admission of Arizona It is not to bt expected that Arizona will ever bt admitted without New Mexico and there will always be danger in tnat direction and especially so long as the warning factions continue in the part controlling congress.
