JOHN D., JR., TO QUIT.

ACTIVE BUSINESS CAREER MAY BE CLOSED LSY SICKNESS. Oil King's Son Is Only 38, but Is Victim of Acute Dyspepsia—lndian Territory Negro Whips Stepdaughter to Death and Is Hanged. r . It is announced in a semi-official way that John D. Rockefeller, Jr., probably never will return to the financial world In Wall street, which he entered fifteen years ago, when 23 years old, fresh from Brown university, backed by his father's wealth and the Standard Oil Company. Young Rockefeller is suffering from acute nervous dyspepsia. It is inherited partly from the elder Rockefeller, who for years has been tormented by stomach trouble, but the acute development of the young man’s trouble began' three years ago in a drizzle of rain in which Boxwood, the beautiful summer home of the elder Rockefeller, was destroyed by fire hear Tarrytown. Since then young Rockefeller has tried to resume the swing of his financial work, only to find the burden too hard. If no change for the better is evidenced the young man will sail aoon for the winter abroad. Those in confidential relations with young Rockefeller say the ailment is not dangerous, but the wearing type of it makes life a burden. He is known to suffer from nervous depression. Life, from the active business standpoint, .is over Tor him. at 38 years of age. FIGHTING FOR PENNANTS. Standing of the Clubs in Prominent Base Ball Leagues. NATIONAL LEAGUE. W L. W. L.

The crime for which Rufus Binyon, a negro, was executed in Ardmore, I. T., the other day was most atrocious. Near Ran, I. T., in May, 1900, he whipped his 8-year-old stepdaughter, May Hawthorne, to death, then placed her body in the fireplace and made an effort to cremate it. The mother of the child discovered the crime in time to prevent the cremation. Binyon was brought to the federal jail in Ardmore in chains and quickly convicted. Bishop Arnett of Ohio made a direct appeal to the President to change Binyon’s sentence to life imprisonment, but the President declined to interfere. Three Years for “Zach” Mulhall. “Zach” Mulhall, the ranchman and railroad live stock agent, convicted of having shot ;and wounded Ernest Morgan on the world’s fair pike in St. Louis June 18, 1904, has been sentenced to serve the three years’ penitentiary term specified by the trial jury. He filed 83.000 bond and took an appeal to the Supreme Court. Actor Tries to Kill Friend. Eben Plynipton, an actor, has been arrested in Plymouth, Mass., charged with assault with intent to murder his friend, Capt. George Martin of New York. He is now in jail. Martin is in a hospital in Boston in a critical condition. The affair took place eight days ago at the actor’s summer home on Silver lake. Election Favorable to Palma. Cuba has held her first election, the moderates have won a victory and the fears which had been expressed for several weeks that the day would be fraught with great disorder were net realized. The result of the primaries is that President Palma seems certain of re-election on Dec. 1. Lose by Fire Is $200,000. A loss of $200,000 aiu, serious injuries to a number of firemen resulted from a fire near the business center of Charleston, W. Va. Bcquentha Ilia Brain. Gen. I. J. Wistar of Philadelphia leaves his right arm, his brain and an estate of 82,000,000 to the Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology. Clerk Admits Big Theft. A clerk in the marine hospital service In Washington admits the taking of <20,000 through fraud. Canada Gets Odd Fellows. The sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows has selected Toronto, Canada, as the next place of meeting. Aged but Gay Lothario. IL Francis Allen, 70 years old. a wealthy retired merchant of Plainfield, N. J., has been sued by Joseph B. Hiirkhis, 28 yea rs old. who alleges alienation of his wife’s affections. “Lid” Increase, the “Drunk..” Including the “safe keeps” with those booked as “drunks” and “drunk and disturbing the peace,” the police records in Kansas City show an increase of drunkenness of 17 per cent since the Sunday closing law went into effect under Gov. Folk’s “lid” order.

PACKERS PAY FINES.

Indicted Chicago Beef Men Admit Giv ing Rebates. Four officials of the Schwarzschild & Sulsberger Packing Company, Chicago, pleaded guilty before Judge J. Otis Humphrey in the federal court to ae cepting railroad rebates in a conspiracy to violate the Elkins law, and they were fined a total of 825,000. This marked the' first victory of the government in its prosecution of the packing companies in what are now known as the “beef trust cases.” A certified check for 825,000 was handed to the clerk of the court, and the four defendants were released. “You are indicted under section 5440,” said the court in opening his sentence. “You are charged with Conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States laws. Your counsel has entered pleas of guilty, and if you have anything further to say other than has already been spoken, you are at liberty to speak.” The three younger defendants shook their heads;-the fourth, the man of years, looked at the floor and said nothing, nor did he make a sign. “Punishment for this offense as fixed by Congress has a wide range, giving the court unusual latitude, ranging from a nominal fine without imprisonment to a heavy fine and two years’ imprisonment, all in the discretion of the court. I have heard on your behalf all of your side of this matter and what the government wished to present. lam disposed to consider this case with reasonable moderation. The sentence of the court in the ease of the defendant, Weil, will be a fine of 810,090 and costs and commitment to the county jail until the fine is paid, and in the cases of Todd, Skipworth and Cusey a fine of 85.000 and costs, with the same provision in regard to the payment. The costs may be distributed among the four defendants.” To compete with the others it was stated, according to good authority, the independent concern accepted rebates from the railroad companies. A representative of the four defendants conferred with the Attorney General and subsequent trips to Washington were made with the result that an understanding was reached whereby, upon a plea of guilty, a fine should be assessed and the imprisonment clause waived. If the case had gone to a trial the defendants would have met the government with a motion to quash the indictment on the ground that it was faulty. It is declared oy the defense that they are charged with violating the Elkins act which went into force on Feb. 19, 1903, but the crime alleged to have been committed is charged to have been perpetrated Feb. 3, 1903. Attorney Boycsen in his opening statement in court mentioned this fact, but declared that his clients did not wish to avail themselves of any technicalities. He had been instructed, he said, to enter a plea of guilty.

THE BURGLARS’ HARVEST.

New York Has the Worst Visitation of Such Crimes in Her History. There are more robberies in New York City a present than ever before in the experience^of the metropolis. On the East Side burglars and sneak thieves are so active that men and women sit up nights with all manner of firearms handy to repel attacks. Five thefts in the region bounded by Bradford and Fulton streets, Arlington and Miller avenues were reported recently in a single night. In> the eastern section of Harlem 30 burglaries have occurred in the past ten days. In spite of strongest safes, more cunning electric alarm systems and more complete methods of identifying criminals, the burglar seems to be feared nowadays much more than he used to be. An evidence of this is the tremendous growth of the burglar insurance business in this country in recent times. A little more than ten years ago practically all attempts to insure people against theft proved futile. Companies were organized for this purpose, but -after mafty vicissitudes they ended in failure. Since that time nearly a dozen corporations have come into existence, and so large is the-business they do that in the last year they paid over $384,147 in burglary losses. In the same time they collected $1,386,610 in premiums. This increasing dread of the burglar is due to the fact that he never was more formidable or more active than at the present time. In these days of greater wealth those temptations which are so alluring to the thief have been multiplied. Consequently there are more diamond robberies and crimes of a similar character now than in the past. The discovery of more effective tools and more powerful explosives has also aided the robber, and although he does not attempt as often as he did to blow up the big city banks, because of their alarm systems and special patrols, his ravages in country districts have grown to an alarming extent. At the present time four out of five bank burglaries are committed in towns of less than 1,000 inhabitants. In the last eight years 776 banks situated in such communities were attacked, with a loss of $1,250,000. Safes once regarded as burglar proof have been shown to be little stronger than soap boxes in the hands of expert thieves, and consequently many companies will not insure country banks at all. The modern burglar is more wantonly destructive than his predecessor. His use of “dope” or nitroglycerine often causes a greater damage to a building than the loss made by the theft itself: Even when he fails of getting loot he leaves a scene of wreckage behind. Of the $1,250,000 in losses incurred by banks, of which mention has already been made, more than S3OO,(XX) represented destruction of property. In robberies of dwelling houses and apartment .houses the damage averages about onetenth of the total loss.

Told in a Few Lines.

The home of Attorney Warren Leslie, New York, was robbed of several thousand dollars’ worth of property. Miss Marie Hamill, a society girl, and her fiance, Neil Wolf, were killed in an auto accident near Acto, N. J.

NO DOUBT OF HIS SINCERITY THIS TIME.

*—Chicago Record-Herald.

AGENTS GROW RICH.

Secrete as to How New York Company Enriches Einplores. That nearly all of the first year premiums on new business brought to the New York Life Insurance Company goes back to the pockets of the agents was shown during the session of the Armstrong investigating committee in New York Friday. In one year, according to the testimony, the total direct and indirect cost of the new insurance was a little less than 813,000,000, and the first year premiums on the same new insurance amounted to a little over $13,000,000. Theoretically an insurance company must not pay over 50 per cent of the first premiums. This and many other secrets of the orders of life insurance were laid bare when Inquisitor Hughes turned his investigation to the “Nylic,” the organization of the company’s agents and agency directors, which, it was revealed, was designed to give away money to New York Life employes. For a time Mr. Hughes switched to the Equitable and its affairs, reading, a letter which he had just received from Grover Cleveland, who told what had been done by t4iS Ryan trustees toward mutualizing the society. Mr. Cleveland declared he and his associates were well satisfied with the progress of their work, although realizing the great difficulties that were before them. Regarding the Nylic, Mr. Hughes first discovered that it is divided into two branches and that its sole purpose is to furnish bonuses for employes. The Nylic for agents provides them with money in excess of their earnings as solicitors and writers of insurance. The Nylic for agency directors does practically the same service for salaried agents. This interesting, institution is peculiar to the New York Life and takes its name from the initial letters in the words making up the charter name. The Nylic has various degrees, like other orders. The degrees run from freshman Nylic, through first, second and third degree Nylics to senior Nylics. There are only three senior Nylics in the service of the New York Life. There are 409 freshman Nylics and 504 Nylics of the first, second and third degrees, making a total of 916 Nylics of the main body. In addition to the Nylics there are about 5,000 ordinary agents working on commissions and getting no profit out of the Nylic. Only the active commission agent who writes as much as $50,000 a year can be a Nylic. Up to a short time ago it required only $25,000 insurance work to make a man a Nylic. The association is a mighty thing for certain agents. A senior Nylic is a man. who does not have to work at all. All he has to do is to draw enormous commissions every month on the insurance he has written in the past. Vice President Buckner said a man would have an independent income after being a Nylic for twenty years. A senior Nylic gets a commission of $1 a month for every SI,OOO of insurance he has written that is still in force. Up to a short time ago he got $1.50 a month per SI,OOO. Then, if he had $1,000,000 insurance in force, he was paid $1,500 a month without working. The other degrees of the Nylic do not give such great advantages. A freshman Nylic gets only 25 cents per month per SI,OOO until he has worked five years, then he goes up by degrees every five years. A senior Nylic with $4,000,000 insurance in force would draw under the old plan $6,000 a month and continue to draw this ainoun until his death.

CUBA IN A TURMOIL.

Political Hatred Threatens to Plunge Island Into Bitter Strife. Cuba was plunged almost into a state of terrorism on the eve of the struggle for the election of a president. Six persons, including a congressman, are known to have been killed. The list of wounded is long. Bombs were found stored in several places, and pistol fights occurred in a number of cities and towns. An attempt was made to assassinate Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez, liberal candidate for the presidency. Thousands of adherents of the two political parties, moderates and liberals, armed with guns and revolvers, gathered in the larger cities. Train loads of rural guards were dispatched to points where the tjirtnoil was greatest, in an attempt to restore peace. An extra session of the House of Representatives was held, at which the disturbances were discussed. Extra editions of the liberal papers were issued, placing the blame for the prevailing conditions upon the government. The Mayor of Havana issued a proclamation forbidding the carrying of canes or weapons of any kind with or without licenses in the vicinity of the polling places during the election of members of the election board. An official dispatch says that the Mayor of Cienfuegos issued a similar proclamation and has also prohibited the sale of alcoholic liquors. Official dispatches received from Cienfuegos announced the killing of Congressman Enrique Villuendas, leader of the liberal party and the most able orator in the lower house, aiql the chief of police of Cienfuegos, during a conflict between the two political parties. Private advices give the number of persons killed as six, with twenty-five wounded. Two policemen are said to be among the dead. Government advices say the police had information that within the hotel in which Villuendas resided a quantity of arms had been deposited, and they went to the hotel to investigate the matter. As the police ascended the stairs they. were met by a party of liberals, who fired on them, killing Chief of Police Ulance. The police returned the fire, killing Villuendas and wounding several others. A search of the hotel revealed two dynamite bombs in the room occupied by Villuendas.

JAPS STIRRED ANEW.

Fresh Wave of Indignation Sweeps Over the Kingdom, A fresh wave of indignation is sweeping over Japan at the announcement that, in spite of Premier Katsura’s assurance to the contrary, there does exist in the peace treaty with Russia an article by which Japan undertakes not to fortify Soya strait. The populace is aroused to a high state of indignation. The agreement not to fortify Soya strait is deemed among the influential classes to be the greatest humiliation Japan has ever suffered. The restriction thus placed on her territorial liberty is looked upon as being an unbearable indignity and as constituting the blackest record in the history of a country which has never experienced defeat at the hands of other nations. The number of direct memorials to the throne from different associations and individuals, condemning the peace treaty and asking that it lie not ratified, exceeds forty, among which is an address signed by six professors of the imperial university, one of whom was recently placed on the retired list owing to bis strongly worded anti-peace thesis. This memorial strongly urges the necessity of refusing to ratify the peace treaty and condemns it as entirely annulling the purpose of the war as set forth in the declaration of hostilities. It also is stated that indisputable reasons exist for refusing to ratify the treaty, which is deemed to bo pregnant with elements of humiliation and future danger to the national interests.

Theodore IT. Goodman, general pasnenger nnd ticket agent of the Southern Pacific company’s western system, lias asked to be retired and his request will be complied witli Sept. 30. Mr. Goodman has been associated with the company for thirty‘seven years. He is in ill health. * Lieut. Gov. Forget has summoned Walter Scott, liberal leader, to form the first government of the new province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Scott will be premier; J. W. Lamont, attorney general, and J. A. Calder, minister of education. The Roadmasters and Maintenance of Way Association, in session at Niagara Falls, N. Y., elected C. Buhrer of Toledo, Ohio, president and W. Emery of Chicago one of the vice presidents, nnd selected Chicago as the next meeting place.

A Delphic Utterance.

As capalile of varied interpretation as the utterances of the ancient oracles was the speech made by a Swiss mountaineer who accompanied the Stlutfleld and Collie exploring expeditloh through the Canadian Rockies. They found it necessary to ford Bear creek, and Hans did not enjoy it, although he faced it with exemplary fortitude. Once safely across, he turned and surveyed the stream gravely. —— “Several times you cross it,” he said, enigmatically, “but yet once is the last time.” | .

Six Doctors Failed.

South Bend, Ind., Sept. 25.—(Special.) —After suffering from "Kidney Disease for three years, after taking treatment from six different doctors without getting relief, Mr. J. O. Laudeman of this place found not only relief but a speedy and complete cure in Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure, Mr. Laud Oman says: “Yes, I suffered from Kidney Trouble for three yeafs and tried six doctors to no good. Then I took just two boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and they not only cured my kidneys, -but gave me better health in general. Of course I recommended Dodd’s Kidney Pills to others and I know a number now who are using them with good results.” Mr. Laudeman's case is not an exception. Thousands give similar experiences. For there never yet was a case of Kidney Trouble from Backache to Bright’s Disease that Dodd’s Kidney Pills could not cure. They are the only remedy that ever cured Bright’s Disease.

SALT RHEUM ON HANDS.

Buffered Agony and Had to Wear Bandages All the Time Another Cure by Cuticnra. s Another cure by Cuticura is told of by Mrs. Caroline Gable, of Waupaca, Wis., In the following grateful letter: “My husband suffered agony with salt rheum on his hands, and I had to keep them bandaged all the time. We tried everything we could get, but nothing helped him until he used Cuticura. One set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills cured him entirely, and his hands have been as smooth as possible ever since. I do hope this letter will be the means of helping some other sufferer.”

GOING FAR FOR PURE WATER.

Loa Angeles Proposes to Go 240 Milee Away for Supply. A notable waterworks project is proposed by Los Angeles, Cal., for a better supply of water. Never before so far as we know, has an American city proposed to go so far afield (240 miles) for water, and with the exception of the pipe line for the supply of the Coolgardie gold fields of western Australia we do not know of so long a water supply conduit anywhere in the world. The Coolgardit pipe lirie is only thirty Inches In diameter, but it is about 330 miles in length. Instead of being a gravity line water is pumped through it to an elevation of. 1,313 feet. This lift is distributed between nine pumping stations, and the nominal daily capacity of the conduit and pumps is 6,000,000 gallons. „ The causes for going so far for water in western Australia and in California are in some respects similar, but differ materially in that at Los Angeles there is a highly developed and prosperous community instead of a series of gold-mining camps. For years Los Angeles lias obtained close at hand water enough to* supply its most pressing needs at least, but it& future and that of both town and country around it depend upon a large increase in the water supply. The nearby sources are not sufficient for the prospective wants of the city and its suburbs, and arc-more than needed for irrigation. If the future of the city will warant so large an outlay, and that future certainly looks bright, then Los Angeles is to be congratulated on having at least solved a water problem which has been more perplexing and serious than outsiders have suspected and than most of its own citizens even yet fully realize.

GET POWER.

The Supply Comes from Food. If we get power from food, why not strive to get all the power we can. That is only possible by use of skilfully selected food that exactly fits the requirements of the body. Poor fuel makes a poor fire and a poor fire is not a good steam producer. “From not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs, I suffered grievously for a long time from stomach troubles," writes a lady from a little town in Missouri. “It seemed as if I would never be able to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly anything that I could eat would stay on my stomach. Every attempt gave me heart-burn and filled my stomach with gas. I got thinner and thinner until I literally became a living skeleton and in time ■was compelled to keep to my bed. “A few months ago I was persuaded to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from the very beginning that I have kept up its use ever since. I was surprised at the ease with which I digested it It proved to be Just what I needed. All .my unpleasant symptoms, the heart-burn, the Inflated which gave me bo much pain disappeared. My weight gradually increased from 98 to 116 pounds, my figure rounded out, my strength came back, and I am now able to do my housework and enjoy It. The GrapeNuts food did It.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,' Mich. A ten days* trial will show anyone some facts about food. "There’a a reason.”

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

While the now demands disclose no recession in the heavy industries,

Chicago.

money and distributive operations made distinct advance. Bank exchanges reached their highest total for one week since early in May. The absorption of currency for crop moving purposes encroached upon deposits to. the largest extent this season, and there was wider request for commercial loans,' most of the letter being negotiated at 5 per cent, i This rate probably may now become the minimum for choice mercantile names, and banking profits during the next quarter will have an improving ratio. Wholesale dealings in fall and winter staples made a substantial gain. Shipping rooms are worked day and night in the effort to overtake prompt forwarding. Notwithstanding the heavy business already Completed, the attendance of buyers remains unprecedented, and a higher average cost proves no bar to liberal selections of necessaries. Unusually large transactions are noted in dry goods, clothing, footwear, men’s furnishings and woolens, and further good orders appeared for mil- r linery, cloaks, groceries and canned fruits. Former impressions of an excellent outlook for both city and interior retail trade are well sustained. Stocks of merchandise among retailers are at a low point, and generous replenishment proceeds satisfactorily. Collections make a good showing, while the commercial mortality again is comparatively lower. Bank clearings $197,196,855, exceed those of the corresponding week in 1904 by 15 per cent. Failures reported in the Chicago district number 18, against 19 last week, and 35 a year ago.—Dun’s Review of Trade.

Trade and industry continue remarkably active in nearly all lines. Fall

Nev York.

distribution is in full swing and in portions of the West is of unprecedented volume. Interior merchants are still greatly in evidence in many primary markets, three-fourths of the corn crop is out of danger of frost, iron and steel are in exceptionally good demand with outputs heavily sold ahead and prices tending upward and building and building material are apparently as active as at any preceing period this year. Collections generally are good for this season of the year, despite the fact that retail trade in the agricultural regions is still retai’ded by active farming operations. Gross railroad earnings for August were 5 per cent in excess of a year ago, when the present wave of activity first manifested itself. Business failures in the United States for the week ending Sept. 14 number 188, against 137 last week, 167 in the like week of 1904, 170 in 1903, 182 in 1902 and 138 in 1901. In Canada failures for the week number thirty-two, as against twenty-five last week end twenty-nine in this week a year ago.—Bradstreet’s Commercial Report.
