the Sunday On which 1t was delivered.
Walking home from church after
the service he encountered an old

Pensioners. Slipping his arm through
hers he asked:
".Aunty, how did you like my ser

That was not disconcerting, so the
minister pressed the old lady for the
second reason.

way you read It,"

minister, that Is not 8 O bad. What

and the beard and Adams apple of
the man. One of the most impor-
tant statements was that hormones,
though responsible for most vital
characteristics, such as the produc-
ton of sex and the functions of the
nervous system, have been found
when analysed to be of the most
simple chemical character.
Hormones, which might be term
ed "the secret of life," have actu-
ally been prepared by Prof. Schae-
fer from chemical substances in his
laboratory. -.
The speaker also hailed the day
when we shall by chemistry be able
to mold character and even to kill
disease.
"Heredity," he said, sis one of
the problems whose eventual solu-
ton We must look to the chemist to
provide"
Concerning death he said:
Death of some cells, those of the
hair and nails, for instance, does
not affect the vitality of the whole.
vet the death of few cells such as
those under the influence of which
breathing is carried on and those
cells which compose the heart, re-
suit in the death of the living being.
But many cells, such as muscle
cells, contain life long after the
rest of the body is dead"
Prof. Schaefer's position is sup
ported by his standing in the scien-
tifc world. In the field of physio-
logical research he has won high
honors, having been awarded the
distinguished service medal of the
ROYAL Life-Saving Society and the
medal of the College OF Physicians.
He was born in 1850 and edu-
Gated at University College, Lon
don. where he afterward was pro-
lessor. He is fellow of the Royal
Society, editor of the Quarterly Re-
view Of Experimental Physiology
and has received honorary degrees
from many universities.

ARSON ALLEGED
IN THREE CASES
On Trial Last Week at
GreenvilIe.
THE INSURANCE COMPANIES
Refused TO Pay0wensbOrO Fire
Loss - They Claim
Incendiarism.
THE FIRE OCCURRED IN 1910

Greenville, KY, Sept. 12.-What
is probably the most interesting
litigation occurring in the Mullen
berg Circuit Court lately is on trial
here to-day. 1t includes three suits
brought by Joseph r. Laswell, trus-
tee in bankruptcy of the Ohio Val
ley Mercantile Company, of Owens
boro, against three fire insurance
ompanies-the North British Mer-
camille Assurance Company, the
Fireman's Fund Insurance Compa-
ny, and the Hamburg-Bremen In
surance Company-to recover the
amount of three policies for a total
of $4,000 on a stock OF goods de-
stroyed by fire in greensboro on
December Z, 1910.
The interesting part of the suit
is, according to the statement of
the defendants counsel before the
Jury to-day. that the insurance
companies allege that the Ohio Val
ley Mercantile Company was not
only fraudulent corporation to be-
gin with, but that the owners of the
company had the building destroy
ed by fire for the purpose of collect
ing the insurance and for the pur-
pose also of covering up and de-
stroying other evidences of fraud
against creditors of the firm. 1t
was stated TO the jury that evidence
would be introduced showing the
fraudulent organization of the COM
panY and fraudulent manipulation
of its stock and that the owner,
Charles Cohn, Of CHICAGO, who was
operating string OF stores in
Western Kentucky, after having his
rious markets and buy to the extent
of his credit. had the purchased
goods, as soon as received, reship-
ped to other points, with intent to
defraud his creditors and after re-
ducing the stock greatly, had one
Fred Bloom, also of Chicago, to
come to Greensboro and set the
building on fire. 1t was declared
that evidence of Bloom himself,
who has been arrested and is in Jail
at Morganfeld charged with sim
liar offense, would be introduced
showing that he did set fire to the
building, but claimed that he did
not do as good a job at Owenssboro
as he did at Morganfield.
Cohn has not been seen since the
fire, and it is stated by lawyers for
the insurance companies that it will
be shown that on the date of the
fire he and Hodges were registered
at hotel in Nebraska under as
sumed names.
The plaintiffs are represented
here by f. b. Anderson, OF Owens
boro, and Taylor & Eaves, of this
city, while the defense is represent
ed by LaVega Clements, Of Owens
boro; Robert Gordon, of Louisville,
and Belcher & Sparks, of this city.
