whose knowledge from actual experience

Jlrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form of
ifeznale weakness are in vited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
&ynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
.private illness to a woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge th&t will
nelp your case. She asks nothing in
return except your good-will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
>generous offer of assistance.
If you are ill. don't hesitate to get a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham'sVcgetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. PinkLynn.

OFFICIALS INDICTED
Theft and Forgery in Mu-i
tual Reserve is Alleged
FINDING OF GRAND JURY
/
President, First and Second Vice Presidents
Arraigned in Court and
Give Bond ? Spent Money
to Settle Private Claims.
Indictments charging grand larceny
in the first degree and forgery in the
third degree by Frederick A. Burnham,
president; G. D. Eldridge, first
vice president, and George Burnham,
Jr., second vice president of the Mutual
Reserve Life Insurance company,
were found by the grand jury at
New York Thursday.
In all, five indictments were
brought against each officer, two for
errand larcenv and three for forgery.
The alleged larceny and forgery I
were brought about, according to the j
indictments, by payments of 39,000 of
the company's money to law firms, ]
the apparent purposes of which is al- j
leged to have been to settle claims j
against the company, while the real }
object is alleged to have been to set- |
tie actions which had been brought [
against officers of the company as in- I
dividuals.
The indictments on which a charge j
of .larceny is based allege that the j
officers embezzled two sums, one of 1
37,500 and the other of $1,500, on Oc- j
tober 24, ISM.
The three officers appeared in the j
court of general session, where Judge
O'Sullivan fixed their bail at $12,500
for each and fixed upon next Thursday
as the time for pleading.
George Burnham, Jr., when seen at i
the company's office after the jury's j
action had been announced, said:
"We had been expecting this and
have engaged counsel to defend us.
Aside from stating that if there has
been any crime committed, it is but
a technical one, I do not care to disr
cuss the case."
- .? A *
in tne nrst case oi iui5cijr
the indictment charges that $7,500
was entered in the cash book as paid
to Nicholls and Bacon, attorneys of P.
P. Arms^ong, to settle the claim of
Armstrong against the insurance company
arising out of a contract between
him -and the company.
In fact, however, the indictment
charges the money was paid to Nicholls
and Bacon in settlement of an
action which they, as attorneys for J.
Douglass Wells, had previously
brought against Frederick A. Burn- !
ham individually.
The second indictment for forgery {
charges that the defendants caused J
the item of $1,500 to be entered on j
the company's books as made in pay- |
ment to James Schell and Elkus for {
legal services rendered by them to j
the company. In reality, declares the !
indictment, the money was paid with j
instructions to turn it over to the at- ;
torney for J. Douglass Wells to reim- |
burse Wells for disbursements which
he claimed had been made by him in
defending actions brought against him
by Frederick A. Burnham individually
and by G. D. Eldridge individually,
and in order to induce Wells to consent
to a discontinuance of those actions.
The third indictment for forgery is*
based on the payment of $5,000 of the
company's money on September 24,
1901. That payment, the indictment
charges, was entered in the cash book
as made to James Schell and Elkus
for legal services. The real purposes
of this payment is, however, alleged
to have been for delivery to Baldwin 4
& White, attorneys for J. Thompshon
Patterson, for the purpose of settling
one action which Patterson had previously
brought against the company
and against Frederick A. Burnham and
G. D. Eldridge individually, and three
actions which had been brought
against Patterson, one by G. D. Eldridge
individually, one by Frederick
A. Burnham, and one by the company.
In eddition to the transactions of
the Mutual Reserve, the grand jury
has before it a general consideration
of insurance companies.

Ancient Football.
There is nothing new about the
present outcry against football. The
game was prohibited in Scotland by
James II. and James IV., and in
England Edward II. held out pains
and penalties for "hustling over large
balls." It was also declared illegal
in the time of Henry Vin., and strenuous
efforts were made by Elizabethan
statesmen to suppress the game,
but without success. But where
kings and queens failed the Puritans
succeeded, as in other phases of sport

A FULL CARGO OF GUM.
i
Ons of the Curious Shiploads That
, Come Into New York Harbor.
After a voyage from Auckland,
New Zealand, around the Horn to
New York, which ordinarily takes 1
i about 105 days, the German bar.- Ger- '
mania, Captain Himme, has reached i
Quarantine, only eighty-seven days <
from Fho Australasian rvnrt Tho hark <
was chartered by 'l. C. Gillespie & !
Sons, to -bring a load of several thou
0 sand cases of kauri gum, nearly all \
of which is for the trade of that
* firm.
* The gum, which is found only in
New Zealand, is imported for use almost
solely in the manufacture of
* high-class varnishes, only about ten
* per cent being used for other purposes.
' In the interior of New Zealand
| thousands of persons are engaged in
1 the collection of the gum, and in the .
! towns and cities storehouses are
filled with various grades of the prod- !
[ uct. The gum is not taken from
[ the kauri tree?at least, the "bush
r gum" is not collected in any appre- 1
5 ciable quantity?but it is taken from
. about two feet under the ground in
[ places where kauri monsters of cen;
turies ago have passed from sigut.
k From among the old roots and fossils
^ O /yum fob-on *
I iiuge masses iuc gum cue
out, chunks weighing as much as a
, hundred pounds being not infrequently
obtained.
From tse heart of the ancient for- .
est the gum is carted to the warehouses,
where the process of grading
has to be gone through. There are
almost a round hundred of recognized
grades of kauri gum, so that
it is not an easy matter to determine
at once the value of a load.
The values of the different grades
r vary from three cents to seventy
r cents. This last is the most beautiful
as well as the purest of kauri
. gum, as it is transparent as fine,
1 clear amber. This is tue gum from
'r which the most expensive grades of
varnish?grades which are never
used for ordinary work or decoration
, ?are made. Not a very great quantity
of it is imported into tms country.
From these transparent blocks
the pieces deteriorate in beauty and
in value to the lowest grade, which
is really nothing more than the dust
from the vaiious packings and
sortings.
To transport the gum the natives
use the wood of the trees of the
save name. The kauri tree, which
is a handsome stick of timber, rising
generally from 100 to 150 feet
in height, is smooth, with a perfect
grain, and is particularly well adapt-,
ed for use in the manufacture of
high-class furniture. For packing
1 cases it could not be surpassed, so
that almost 'invariably the product
of the dead tree is encased in tim* |

For export purposes boxes holding
j about 200 or 250 pounds of the gum
- are manufactured. The Germania
- brings some 7,000 cases of this kind.

Attorney Westmoreland followed
Mr. Bell with a few remarks in which
he declared that the recorder should . " ^
establish a precedent in Georgia to : ^
protect the sanctity and purity of f
the homes. He said if a man Lad the
right to kill to protect his home, how
much more had a woman the same
right. He referred to the Sanford?
case in Rome, in which a man had
to protect his fireside.
"We. have an unwritten law in thesouth,"
he said, "and to that law we
now appeal." * ^
Applause again broke out in the
court room, which was suppressed by
the clerk. Recorder Broyles skid In - .-V
a loud and clear voice:
"This is a most deplorable affair.
I deeply sympathize with the woman, .
but the law is the law and we must vag
respect it. If her husband and her . V
sister had violated the law she could / ?
have had them arrested."
"But, your honor," interrupted At- ||f
torney Westmoreland, "remember ||f
what a scandal that would have caus
*- - ii. V* >
ed, and that this poor woman uiuu&uv
of that."
"Yes, that may have been so/' re? 1 '
plied the recorder, "but she has violated
the law and so has the man.
I will hold him in a $1,000 bond for
adultery and fornication. Mrs. Stan- j
difer I will hold for murder and com- ;
mit her to the tower without bail."
There was loud hissing in the court
room, and the clerk rapped for or
der.
"You people who have hissed me/'
called out the recorder, "are such as j
would commit a burglary or a highway
robbery if you thought you ^
wouldn't be caught You do not care . , ^
for the law."
