LITTLE BDI Mouth and Eyes Covered With Crusts?Face Itched Most Fear fully?Hands Pinned Down to Prevent Scratching MIRACULOUS CURE BY CUTICURA REMEDIES " When my little boy was six months old, ho had eczema. The sores extended so quickly over the whole body that we at once culed in the doctor. W<5 then went to another doctor, but he could not help him, and in our despair we went to a third one. Matters became so bad that he had regular holes in his cheeks, large enough to put a finger into. The food had to be given with a spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as a finger, and whenever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and suppurate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in short the whole body, was covered over and over. We had no rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bed, we hod to pin his hands down: it???nn??..-, otherwise he would AwoNso H?rnum 8cratch his face> ^ make an open sore. I think his face must have itched most fearfully. " We finally thought nothing could help, and I had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea air might cure him, otherwise he was to be ?ut under good medical care there. But, _x>rd be blessed, matters came differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We made a trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Rer.olvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided improvement.

TELLSIT ALL Hamilton's Relations With the New York Life Company. HE WAS ENTBUSTED I With Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars Witb the Understanding that He Was Not to Be' Required to Render Account of His Expenditures. Andrew Hamilton, the Lrgislative agent for the New York Life Comp any, who, according to testimony, has J been entrusted with hundreds cf thousands of dollars by the company, and has not accounted for 8235,000, has been beard by the New York Leg islative Insurance investigation com mittee, bub has declined to make an accounting. A statement by Mr. Hamilton was read for the record Wednesday. It was presented by the Secretary John C. McCall, of the New York Life, who went to Pirls to obtain an accounting from Hamilton. In his statement Mr. Hamilton says that he is unable to produce any books or accounts, be cause he undertook the Legislative matters for the life insurance compan ies with the express understanding that, he was to make no accounting. Absolute secrecy was neccessary In re tainlrg assistance therefore no checks were used in making payments. Mr. Hamilton *ent into an exhaus tive explanation of the reasons for or ganizlng thin confidential service, as necharfccterized it, covering his math ods of work and citing a number of legislative bills m which he had been interested. A list of expenses from 1899 to 1904 was appended to the icatement. The sum of 8235 000 un accounted for, he says, wcuid be great ly reduc d by his running acc uat still unsettled and open, and, as a matter ' of faith, pending a settlement, he of fers to deposit 8100,000 with the com pany. Mr. Hamilton, in his statement, says that at the tim6 of his employ ment by the New York Life, the life inturaicj companies feared that un less concerted action was taken they might be practically legislated and taxed out of existence. "The usual praotice of depending] alone upon counsel to attend and pres ent arguments was determined to be Insufficient,"saysMr. Hamilton. "The very faot that the great life insurance interests of New York favored or op posed pending legislative propositions, would itself often concentrate the op position against their viewt; so like wise did the knowledge that we were represented at the capitols of the var ious States lead to demands that pol itical favorites should be employed in Che role of counsel, which, if acceded to, placed our e f .Irs at the mercy of those who did not possess our con? dence. These and other considera tions led the three companies to but j one conclusion. We felt that it a se cret service was a permissible govern mental agency, a confidential service would be the only effsctive, and at the same time proper, plan to gu ird the welfare of the most extensive com mercial interests iu the world?the life insurance business of the State of New Yoik This confidential secret service was decided upon as the only feasible plan of protection." Mr. Hamilton gives a long summary of the various styles of bills hostile to insurance companies, many of them taxable measures. "Bills to compel the company "s reports to be repeatedly and unnecessarily published tn newspapers are advecated," says Mr. Hamilton, "to gain favor with the press for in creasing their revenues. Outrageous propositions, such as .the 10 per cent tax proposed in Arkansas, or absurd propositions like the Michigan bill, where a doctor's certl floate of ill health would excuse the payment of the Insurance premium and keep a policy in force; or the Virginia bill, making it actionable for a life insur ance agent to enter the office of a| man, where the sign 'no agents allow ed' is displayed find, legislative favor. However ridioulous these bills may seem, they demand attention. "At the capital of every State wel have either retained representatives! for the companies, or are in co opera tion with some one who has retained representatives duly influential. It has hpen fnnnfl advisable, as the. result of Strongest in the World.

C. experience, to avoid as far a? possible ;ny exact public information a3 to who represents us. The known presence of i corporation represented at legis?a oivu halls is the signal for renewed vigor in the attacks of blackmailers and cranks, and unfortunately mem bers of the legislative body are fre quently deaf to reasoning where a non voting or corporate interest is at stake. Where it becomes necessary, we have I often bad occasion to employ the col umns of the public press for a discreet ad vocaey cf our views; this method has been found to b* very effiCEciouj, but is has also been found very expensive. I hav6 found that in my work in every leg'slative body in the United States there was as large a proportion of honest men a3 there is in any body of men-in any walk of life. Permit me also to state that In mv work I have not found it so difficult to defeat black mailers. A man who is out to black mail corporate interests in generally well known and his character thorough ly understood. TnesB men never re tain influence for any length of time, and I have found that requests to the honest members nf the Legislature for ! help in defeating the blackmailer are 1 always readily and coeerfully granted." , A statement of money received by ! Mr. Hamilton shows a total of 8270, 550 for the years from 18,99 to 1905 j He calls attention to aa expense of 883,100 for ' retainers and newspaper articles" in 1904 aud says a large por tion of this expense was occasioned by I an attempt to create public sentiment [throughout the United States in fa vor of national supervision ot insur ance. Under the same heading? 897, 000 is charged for 1905 and the in creast was due, he says, primarily to I the troubles in the Equitable Life As I surance Society. In concluding bis statement, Mr. Hamilton says that "the injunctions jof the president of the New York Life to me were always unmistakably explicit that my expenditures and my work were to be strictly con fined With in the limitations of the law of the land. These instructions have been faithfully followed to the letter Tbere has never been a disbursement made by me of the company's funds whioh trespassed upon the instructions given me by the president of this company I and I want it thoroughly understood that not one dollar of any moneys I ever paid to me by the New York Life Insurance Company has been ujed improperly or foi improper purposes, or in a way that transgressed either the statutory law or the moral law." 'A statement of legal expenditures I other than those to Hamilton was produced by Mr. McCall, showlDg a total for suoh expenditures of 81,103, 920 from 1901 to 1905. / Secretary McCall waB questioned b> Mr. Hughes as to what lurther light be could throw on the statements of Mr. Hamilton, but he said he could give no information. He did not question Mr. Hamilton's figures nor the large amounts for travelling ex penses. He asked Mr. Hamilton for a full statement and relied on his honesty to explain everything. He did Insist that Mr. Hamilton produce checks or check books, bus Mr. Ham ilton said he hart none. When Mr. McCall was excused Henry D. Applexon, of the State in surance department, was called. He was told that Mr. Morgan, former president of the Bankers' Life Insur cue; Company, had testified that Mr. Appleton had sa'd it would cost the Binkers'Life 850.000 to reincorpor ace. Mr. Appleton somewhat heated ly said: "If Mr. Morgan said that, "he Is a liar." He was called to order by Chairman Armstrong. Liuis F. Payn, former superinten dent of insurance of the State of New York was cdled to the stand late in the day and explained a large number of appointments of confidential exam iners on the ground that an unusual number of examinations were made during his tenure of effioe. Mr. Hughes produced a list, which I showed that in 1892, two examinations were made, and in 1898 two more were made, while in 1899, the last year of Mr. Payu's administration the number had not been brought out when adj jurnment was taken. The -?flairs or the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Company were taken up with the witness, and during this line of examination Mr. Payne stated that he had been oppose 1 to Mr. Burnham as president of the Mutual Reserve, and said be had tried to get j him out. Mr. Hughes asked why he had tried to get him out and Mr. Payn flatly stated "because I tnougnt him a crook."
