PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight ON Old Age.

When prominent men realize the
injurious effects of coffee and the
change in health that Postum can
bring, they are glad to lend their tes-
timony for the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one of the southern states says:
my mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drink
er, had been troubled with her heart
for number of years and complained
Of that weak all over feeling and
sick stomach.
Some time ago / was making an
official visit to distant part Of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. l noticed
a somewhat peculiar favour of the
coffee, and asked him concerning it..
He replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought a pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family were so well
pleased with it, that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.
II had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after US
ing Postum for a short time, she felt
SO much better than she did prior to
its use, and had little trouble with
her heart and no sick stomach; that
the headaches were not so frequent,
and her general condition much i'm
proved. This continued until she was
as well and hearty as the rest of us. (,

self and the other members of the
family, but not in so marked degree

Metals are usually regarded as
Opaque, but they become translucent
/ when hammered out into very thin
sheets. An English physicist, who
has been studying this property, finds
that although thin gold is usually
green by transmitted light, the green
light becomes white when the film is
heated on glass. Microscopic exam
ination shows that the gold has
formed into Opaque, detached spots,
leaving clear spaces, through which
the light passes. Silver leaf also
becomes transparent when heated
Copper leaf, when heated more and
more, becomes successfully emerald
green, light olive, dark olive and dark
port wine color. These latter results
are apparently due to the formation
of films of oxide, since to produce
them the metals must be heated in an
atmosphere containing oxygen.
Aluminium and Dutch metal do not
become transparent when heated. BY
the electric theory of light, according
to which conductors must be Opaque
and insulators transparent, the met
ais should not transmit light, and it
is notable that they do not except in
very thin films which have a high
electric resistance.-New York Her

END SUGAR SUIT
Trust Gives 100000 Cash and
Returns 100000 Securities.
NIPPLE SUICIDE RECALLED
Suit of the Pennsylvania Sugar Com
pany For $3O,OOO,OOO Suddenly
Stopped in United States Court
When Restitution is Aade.

New York City.-Two million dol
lars in cash, the return of s7,O00,000
par value of securities held as collat-
eral/ and the cancellation of a loan of
$3.50, 900 more was the price which
the American Sugar Refining Conn
pany agreed to pay in settlement of
the suit brought against 1T by the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Com
pany under the Sherman Antitrust
act.
The suit was brought to recover
$50, 900, being the triple damages
allowed by the statute, on the charge
that the Sugar Trust, its counsel,
John E. Parsons, and Gustav Kissell,
broker, had conspired to wreck the
Pennsylvania Company through the
medium of well concealed loan
deal. The case has been on trial be-
fore Judge Holt, in the United States
District Court for two weeks, but was
stopped suddenly when the lawyers
got together for final settlement.
This settlement of the Pennsylva-
mia Sugar Refining Company's suit
comes Immediately on top of the pay
ment by the Sugar Trust to the Uni
ted States Government of 100000
in cash as the amount out of which
the United States had been cheated
through the use of fraudulent scales
on the sugar weighing piers in
Brooklyn.
There was an element of personal
tragedy behind the Pennsylvania COM
,pany's suit, for the closing down of
the new plant which Adolph Segal
had built for it to compete with the
Sugar Trust, and consequent depre-
citation of it's securities, was one OF
the contributing causes in the down
fall of the Real Estate Trust COM
pany, of Philadelphia, whose presi-
dent, Frank Nipple, committed sui
eide when the exposure came. The
suit just settled was instituted
through the Real Estate Trust Com
pany as holder of large amounts of
the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining
Company's securities, although it was
brought in the name of the corpora
ton.
In 1903 Segal built the new plant
of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining
Company, and then, after tying up
S2,600,000 out of $5,000,000 of its
stock in voting trust, wanted to
borrow $l,25O,000 for some of his
ventures and pledged this stock along
with big block of the concerns
bonds and various other collateral as
security for the loan. Gustav Kissell
asked that during the tendency Of
the loan the holder of the collateral
should name the directors of Segals
sugar company.
Kissell was acting under the ex-
plicit authorization of the Sugar
Trust. he named as directors himself
and three clerks, who voted not to
open the plant until the loan was
paid The plant was accordingly
locked up, and has remained SO ever
since.

LIGHTNING STRIKES CHURCH
One Man Killed and Many Wor-
shippers Burned.
Edward Duchane Loses His Life at
Bay Settlement, Fishing Village
in Wisconsin--Others Injured.

Green Bay, Wis. - One man was
killed, two probably mortally injured.
and fourteen others were hurt in the
small Catholic church at Bay Settle
ment, a fishing point north of here on
the Green Bay shore. There was a
panic after lightning struck the
church, but those hurt were all
burned by the shock, not trampled in
the stampede for the doors. The
dead man is Edward Duehane. aged
twenty years, of Bay Settlement.
Annie Steppelin, aged twenty-five,
was badly burned and shocked John
Greenwood, of Green Bay, was struck
on the right shoulder by lightning,
and deep hole burned through the
flesh, the injury extending across his
was burned also.
There were about 200 worshipers
in the church. There was a terrible
crash as the bolt of lightning struck
the steeple of the edif1ce The metal
cross at the tip of the steeple was
hurled to the ground and the light
ming ran around the steeple to the
roof along the ridge pole, and down
each side of the main entrance IF the
church. All of those who were
shocked and burned were in this part
of the church.
In an instant there was panic
The women screamed and rushed for
the door, and the Rev. c. Mixers,
the priest, shouted to the people to be
quiet, but they did not heed him.
When the congregation recovered
from the scare the injured were
speedily cared for.
The first thing Father Mickers did
after the rush was over was TO go out
into the churchyard and rally res
cue party. He led 1t into the church
and one by one the victims of TIE
bolt were carried out and taken to
their homes for treatment.
