But other branches of trade will find this sort of insurance a benefit. The blown- down chimney of a factory or a boiler explosion may cause rious harm to machine houses, or an inundation may damage turbine wheels and other ma- chinery. In such cases the benefit of the injured parties being insured is apparent. : The company also insures against damage done to machinery by negli- gence or inexperience on the part of workmen. It is nost impossible to have at all times well-trained and ex- perienced hands in one's employ, and it is by no means an infrequent occurrence that machinery comes to more or less serious harm through the fault of some hand or other, and the chances of the owner of a factory being able to re- cover from such loss are very few and “far between. The prospectus of the ycompany also includes dam e caused by deficlency of the mat 1 of which machines are manufactured if such daults are detected after the term ot the mannufacturer’s guaranty has elapsed. Some machines work beauti- fully for years and Ureak all of @ siia- den, owing to a trifling fault in’ the maierial.

In support of joss claims, the bill of repairs of the new machinery por- chased to replace the damaged ma- chinery must be prodreed and submit- ted. The premium will depend upon the total value of the insured machinery, and will be different for machinery which is stationary and under cover from that which will have to be paid for machinery exposed to the open air and for movable machinery, ectric in to be meatione n the s and poles, ete verity of storm and round, so that in attention serious west CURIOUS FIGHT OVER ESTATE. Disposition of Large Fortune De- pendy on Date h ‘ tain Insane Man, ‘ Disposition of an estate involving a large fortune depends upon the date of death of Arthur Beckwith, an artist who belonged to a prominent family in New York city. He disappeared from the Sanford Tall asylum at Flushing, L. I., fn 1894, and never has been heard of since. The controversy also involves the estate of Leonard Forbes Beckwith, his brother, at one time chief engineer of the subway commission. Both men were declared to be incompetent and left large property interests. Both In- herited estates of about half a million dollars from their father. Leonard died fntestate in 1895. According to the administrators 0? the esiate, Arthur Beckwith escaped In 1890 from an asylum at Litchfield, Conn., and was two years later discov- ered in Havana, Cuba, living in squalor. He was in 1893 placed in the Sanford Hall asylum at Flushing. He again es- ecaped. In January, 1902, he was de- elared legally dead. It is now sought to have his death placed before that of Leonard, in which case the latter’s heirs will get most of both fortunes. GUNSMITHING IS PROFITABLE. Evidence to Prove This In Evolved at an Inguiry Held at Westmin- ster, England, Some extraordinary evidence as to huge profits made in the gunsmith busi- mess came out at an inquiry which was held at Westminster the other day. The case was a claim for compensa- tion in respect to the premises and busi- mess of a gunsmith named Andrews, which the South-Eastern Railway com- pany is acquiring. The claimant said that on mony of the articles he suid ie made wu po egnt. profit. The profit was even greater fm some cases. An article known as the “simplex wind gauge” cost him 9s.; the sale price was £2 14s. This was 500 per cent. profit. On gunpowder he made ‘an average of 200 per cent., and on cer- tain articles with a small turnover he had made 800 per cent. ‘Wants to Be Among the Victors, Shamrock’s skipper, Capt.

Love Story Brought Out by Ninety. Fourth Birthday of a New Jersey Woman, A sad romance is brought to light by he recent celebration of the~ninety~ fourth birthday of Miss Mary Ann Ter- une, who lives with her aunt, Mrs, Har- ey Green, at Orange, N. J. Miss Ter- yune has never been married because of vow she took when she was 20 years vid, She is the daughter of the late Garrick Verhune, of New Brunswick, She was sngaged to be married to a young phys!- ian of that place, The day had been set, the bridal trousseau prepared, and invi- ations issued for the wedding when the physician was stricken with an illness hat soon caused his death. Miss Ter- hune then declared that she would never ‘narry. The aged woman has outlived nearly all @f herimmediate relatives, and although her age has made her feeble, it is her proud boast that In all her life she has never required the ser- vices of adoctor. She posed for her pie- ture the other day for the first time since he was a young girl. TO ADD “STOCKING ROOM.” now, Up-to-Date Chicago Bank to Install Apartment for Uxe of Female Customers, A decided novelty in the shape of 4@ ‘stocking room” is to be a feature of the new Jackson trust and savings bank which is to be opened in C ago soon.

Trial at Jefferson City. Jefferson City, Nov. 7.—Few judges on avy of the circuit benches in Mis- souri are as unique in their manner of holding court as Judge Walter W. Graves, of Butler, who is presiding over the trial here of Senator Frank H. Farris for boodling. So far as keeping the strictest order and quiet s-lia the courtroom is concerned no judge could be more exacting, but it is on allowing smokiog in bis court that he differs from others. An fuci lent that happened yesterday will illustrate this, even if it did give Sheriff Smith, of this county, the greatest shock that he has had since he has been in office. The judge had mounted the bench, but the jury had not yet been brought in. Calling two or three newspaper correspoudents to him, the judgesaid with a laugh: “Thave a bone to pick with The Star. It said once that I held court like they do down in Arkansas.” “Yes,” answered one of the report: ere; “they say down in Butler that you are on your good behavior over here.” “That means that you would like to smoke, I suppose, Well, 1 have no objection to anyone smoking in my courtroom,” The trial began. Clouds of smoke hovered over the press table, Sheriff Smith saw them, At first he was so shocked that he forgot to act, Then @ deputy hurried forward. “You'll have to stop smoking,” he said, “But the judge gave us permis sion,” was the answer. He went away and consulted with his superior, He returned. “You'll have to cut that smoking out. The sheriff says so.” “But the judge says no.” “My orders are from the sheriff,” said the deputy, with dignity, ‘and what he says goes, ’ “But there is no higher power on earth, in a courtroom, than the judge ind he suys we may smoke.” “You'll have to cut it out just the same,” once more he departed, Then a thought scized him. He mounted the bench and spoke to Judge Graves. The word came back “Thave no objection to smoking in my courtroom.” While these unique characteristics are noticeable, yet to a person accus- tomed to courts and court ways, Judge Graves nukes a most favor- able im, ression in the conduct of a trial. He is an attentive listener, quick in his rulings and baving ruled, he is positive in the attitude he has taken. Off the bench he is courteous wd maguetic, and it is not to be wondered at that he is a formidable tactor in the supreme court race, Order of Publivation. 3TATE OF MISSOURI, { County of Bates biaid {nthe Circuit Court, of Bates county, Mis- sourl, November term, 143.

Hoyt, owner of the “Bar H” ranch near Bozeman, Mont., was married here yeatarday to John Wing Lee, a nat- uralized Chinese, whose father was a evok on the Hoyt ranch, The plans for the marriage were made a year ago, when John Wing Lee then a student at Leland Stan- ford university, visited his father. A few days ago the uncle learned of the intended elopement of bis niece and hastened to San Francisco, where he believed the girl would meet her celestial sweetheart. But the girl outwitted him and went east, and while the uncle was searching for her in Sau Francisco she was married in Chicago. The couple went to Niaga+ ra Falls on their honeymoon, Office Declared Vacant. St. Louls, Nov 5.—The Missouri world’s fair commission has declared vacant the position of superintend- ent of the department of mines and metallurgy, formerly held by Col. H. H. Gregg, of Joplin.

Redding, Cal., Nov. 7,—George Reid and Louis Brautlacht had a thrilling encounter with wildcats at the old Jay Hotchkiss place on the Chewaucan. The two men had been bunting in the woods near by. Returning late in the evening they ran a wildcat into the open door ofa barn on the Hotchkiss place. Both hunters ran into the dark barn, latched the door behind them and prepared to slaughter the cat, They found themeelves literally surround- ed by wildcats, There were six, all told, and they put up a terrible fight. For fifteen minutes the hunters fought in the darkness. They finally got out of the barn torn, scratched and bleeding, and four of the big cats were dead inside.
