TORRENS Law OUTLOOK
Title Guarantee Co. Not Enthusi-
aStic-PrOfeSSOr ReeUes's Ans7cer.

A definite statement from the large title COM
panies to the Torrens law. state registry
and guarantee of titles. has last been made In
its annual report sent out yesterday the Title Guar
antee and Trust Company says in part:
The Legislature early in the year passed the So
called title registration law, TorTens act 1t is
not, most people suppose. state guarantee OF
titles. The state does not guarantee the certificate
all. 1t is of greater force than referee :
deed in partition foreclosure. and a person re-
lies il at his peril unless the proceedings are
regular. He must examine them, and the whole
prior title before he safely take II. The bill
may best Re summarized as an attempt TO sci rlln-
ming a comparatively short statute of lilnita tons
by which all rights in property are attempted
to be extnguished by publication of a general no.
tce 'tc whom it may concern
The efficacy of such notice. II the pro-
ceedngs are regular. still be tested on consti
tutional grounds. The act provides that title in
surance corporations and lawyers may qualify as
title examiners. but the certificate in regard to
hte title that must be made by the title examiner
is such that solvent company is likely to make
it. Our company will qualify as sn examiner
under the act, and think that every other
reputable title company in the state win take the
same position The company does fear any loss
OF business through this legislation. There is no
probability that the general public will wish 70
make use of a system which is even more dih1cuIt
TO operate and understand than the one that we
have superseded. The buyer of a piece of prop
erty does not want to wait six months until the
registration proceeding is completed before he takes
title and then years TO find out whether or
not he has a good title and then no guaran-

Company. at his home. No. 14s st. Johns Flace
Brooklyn He said:
The state doesn't guarantee any title under the
new law The state supplies courts TO decide for
those who wish in the matter of the validity of
their titles IL is the belief of the commission that
the act is so drawn that when judgment is once
obtained IL will fix and determine that title the
same as a judgment that is absolute can settle

Bleeding Flesh = Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering.
CASE SEEMED HOPELESS
BUT CUTICURA CURED HER

words cannot describe the terrible
eczema I suffered with. 1t broke out
on my head and kept spreading until it
covered my whole body. l was almost
q solid mass of sores from head to foot.
l looked more like a piece of raw beef
than human being. The pain and
agony l endured seemed more than 1
could bear. Blood and pus oozed from
the great sore on my scalp, from under
my. finger nails, and nearly all over my
body. My ears were SO crusted and
swollen l was afraid they would break
off. Every hair in my head fell out.
l could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the pain
My family doctor did all he could, but
I got worse and worse. My condition
was awful. 1 did not think could live.
and wanted death to come and end my
frightful sufferings.
In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. l said | would, but had no hope
Of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding,
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep / had had in weeks. It
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. I would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. also took Cuti-
cura Resolvent for the blood In
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and 1 knew I
was to get we'll again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in
short time I was completely cured.
I cannot praise Cuticura enough. I
wish I could tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cuticura. My condition
was so terrible that what cured me
cannot fail to cure anybody of this
awful disease. If any one doubts the
truth of this letter, tell them to write
to me. Mrs. VIM. Hunt, 1876 Thomas

Ever since their arrival the variety
Girls" have had many admirers among
the wealthy men of the city. Two of
these, NJ Valery, aged "a, and M.
Coutard, aged II, both belonging to
wealthy families, made offers of mar
rage to members Of the troupe.
The dancers declined and the suitors
took their rejection so much at heart
that they decided to end their lives.
Valery shot himself through the heart
with a revolver Coutard. who was
by his fathers orders confined to a
reformatory school, tried to shoot him
self on the way there and two days
after his admission was found dead
hanging to the window of his cell. He
had strangled himself. On the table
was a pathetic letter addressed to
the girl who had rejected him.
Last year several English dancing
girls made brilliant marriages at Mar
settles.

Gently decided to immortalize itself by
carving the names of it's members on
a handsome new drinking fountain
which the municipality had erected In
a public square.
Alderman Brucker arose in his place
At the council meeting and declared
in passionate accents that he was too
true a friend of alcohol ever to permit
his name to be imperishably associated
with a fountain which spouted mere
water.
His colleagues declined to take
Bruckers objections seriously and put
his name on the fountain with the
rest He had an opportunity for re-
venge. The council decided to relieve
the town treasury by paying out of
their own pockets the cost Of making
some extensive repairs on the foun-
tain. When Brucker was asked to
contribute his share he Indignantly
declined with the result that each of
his fellow city fathers has had to
contribute to make up the deficit.
Brucker is neither a saloon keeper
nor tippler.
