GIRL WOULD JOIN
 THIS ASTRAL BODY"

New York, May 13.--As sequel t~ the suicide two days ago of Dr. w. R. c. Latson, physician and magazine writer, Miss Alta Marhoyka. his stu- dent and aide. attempted to kill her. self in her apartments early today. She was taken unconscious from gas filled room to nearby hospital, where. 1t K said, her recovery is unlikely. The police declare that the young woman's act was undoubtedly part ofBa suicide pact. with her friend and teacher.
 The, girl told the police yesterday of the studies of which she and the doc- tor had pursued in Indian mysticism, eastern theosophy and mystic .psychol- cgy. declaring hystericaily that to neither of them did suicide seem a crime.
 ''Only his body is dead she said, his astral body still lives and my soul beats in unison with his. We shall meet again ere long"

STEAMER LOSS
 IS TWO MILLION

 ! Norfolk. Va, May 1S.-The sinking of the Ward line steamship Merida yes terday by the steamer Admiral Farra- | gut off the Virginia capes will cause Ia \ Is of approximately s2,O0o,Ooo, ac- ascord ng to an estimate made today by H. E. Cabaud, general agent of the owning company.
 Mir. Cabaud said that the Merida, . valued at about $l,25O,0Oe, was in sured, and that the cargo and effects of passengers, valued at probably $780, 900, were presumably insured" As to the liability of the company, the pas sengers who were losers on the Merida, Agent Cabaud said all probably would be losers except to the extent of in- 6urance carried. The passengers will seek to recover from the Merida's owners. Ten of the passengers constituted the party of August Peon, a wealthy hemp exporter of Yucatan, MeXico- 'f
 The Peon family estimate their per- sonal loss at $100,000, including cloth ing and jewels and cash which was locked in the ships safe.
 There seems to be no hope of saving . the Merida There were said to have been IT tons of silver aboard her.

hopes of substantial thinking people. The present outlook as reported through of- ficial and private sources is for the biggest farm production in the history of the country. The commodity markets give promise of good prices far into the fu- |ture, and farmers who may be fearful that with the arrival of bumper crops will come a big break in prices can take out insurance by selling for forward delivery. The option markets give them this op- portunity, and doubtless many of them are avaiIing themselves of the chance.
 
 A few small railroads are cutting div idends The Vandalia, a Pennsylvania subsidiary, and Boston and Maine this week reduced payments from a per cent basis to DOT cent A few weeks ago the Hawley group of roads in the middle northwest reduced dividends: St. Paul is paying z per cent and earning about A. Its management, however, be- lieves 1t will be able to maintain the 7 per cent rate, although not explaining how the deficit is to be met Baltimore and Ohio was also under suspicion of paying more than 1t could afford to. For years New York Central has been barely able to meet dividend requirements out of; current earnings. Pennsylvania margin of safey is smaller now than it has been in years. Railroads are very generally economizing and pairing expenses down to the bone. This may help stockholders but will be hard on the steel and equipmert companies which are in desperate need of orders from the railroads. They would prefer to- see big dividends cut in order to benefit by receipt of new business. It is not in the cards. however, that every body should be satisfied.

RED FINGER PRINTS
 STARTLE CLARK

Washington, May 13-Sixty-six Indian finger prints that had been dipped in red pokeberry juice startled Speaker Champ Clark yesterday when he opened his mail.

 The ill-tempered opposition of high Pennsylvania officials to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit plan for the construction of new subway system for Greater New York does not harmonize with the theory that Pennsylvania interests control the Brooklyn company, which many supposed to be the case. The objection of the Penn sylvania railroad people to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit plan is that it contributes nothing to the railroad company's busl- ness, and that is favors New York Gen. tral in that respect. The kick had the appearance eof being genuine protest. However, 1t will always be. in the power of the Pennsylvania interests to actual ly buy control of the Brooklyn company and amend it's plans to suit, providing the contract goes to the Brooklyn com bination as now seems probable The projected subways will cost in tho neigfis borhood of $175.000,O00.
 Eleven trust companies of New York have been taken into the clearing house, thus making the banking monopoly com plete. Several of these trust companies withdrew from the clearing house four or five years ago under compulsion, the point being made that they we're not car rying sufficient reserves. Under tle law they have been obliged to increase the percentage of reserves and thus became eligible to renewed membership in the clearing house into. whose fellowship they were invited to return.

 Dear Sir-1n answering your inquiry as to how I got along with your Snuff Treatment, am glad to say after using snuff for 30 years. l can now meet my friends on the streets or in my home without the embarrassment used to feel I don't want snuff and never think of it. The scent of tobacco makes me sick. I was suffering from stomach trou- ble, and am great deal better of that since I quit the habit. If my testimonial will be the means of some one else quit ting, I am willing for you to use It.. Yours truly, MRS. NELLIE HALL.
