Then. why not form a good habit. a

The best health habit to get into is to

soldiers to enter the British eoncession.
This order followed a request made by
General Lorne-Campbell, after almost
every resiuent had complained of tiie
behavior of the French in insulting women
refusing to ]jay for purchases, acting riot
ously, and abusing American and British
soldiers. General "v'oyron, the French
commander. reeognized that ihis must
stop, and ordered the French soldiers to
keep in their own conces3ion.
General Lorne-Campbell was perfeclly
satisiied that General Voyron was in har
niony witli himself and'anxious to main?
tain order.
Major Foolt, "Ninth United States Infan
try, says the French soldiers were abusive
to the American troops, who were unarm
ed, while out on pass. while the French
were armed with swords or bayonets.
On one occasion an American disarmed
a Frenchman and turned over his we.i
pon to the sergeant of the guard, explain
ing satisfaetorily his reason for the
action taken.
THI.: BRITISH MUST ACT.
Major Foote thought that sooner or
later ihe British must act in the interest
of the eoncession. General Voyron says
there is no friction between the French
and British. The incident of Sunday
was regrettable, was caused by a few
excitabie men. and has no connection
whatever with any feeling individual
Frenchnien may hold in favor of the
Bussian claims in connection with the
land on which it was proposed to build
the railroad siding.
BOXERS WAR COST HEAVILY.
Reports oi Consuls Indicalc Its Effect Upon
Our Interests.
(By Associated l'rcss.)
AVASHIXGTOX. D. C, March 19.?Tiu
State Department has received from
United States Consuls Fowler. at Che Foo,
and Ragsdale. at Tien Tsin. reports in
tended to show the effect of the Boxer
troubles in North China. upon I'nited
States trade, with particular regard to
what Americans lost in America during
the oittbreak rather than in China. lt
compares the quarter ending June last
with that ending September 30th, and
shows an almost compiete annihilation oi'
the American import trade, and in Consul
Fowler's language, "gives a good idea o'f
what a mob in China can do in interfer
iliS with trade."
The greatest los-.s was felt in cotton piece
goods, and the cessation of this import,
says the Consul, must lnive been most
kcenly felt in the Southern States. Prob?
abiy no country in the world. Consul Fow?
ler states, suffered as much as did the
United States.
An estimate of the total aetual value
of the losses susiained is not easily availa
ble, but the comparative tables indicat
ing the greatest incrase in our trade with
China ever known at the beginning of
1900. and setting forth the most serious
losses to il al ihe end of the year, are
sufficiently impressivc to serve the pur?
pose.
Ai Che Foo, which compafed with the
immediate northern ports, was peaceful.
ihere were more riots and tttmults than
were ever known before, and the various
American misslon losses probabiy will ag?
gregate JISO.OW? in gold. After June 15th
the imporis at Che Foo ceased, all com
roeivial transaetions being absolutely nil.
The ligurcs submitted. Consul Fowler
points out, do not fully show American
losses for immense quantltics of merchan?
dise wcrc held up in the various ports,
and wlsich must be worked off before
importations ca:i begin. The losses to the
cotton trade alone are c.stimatcd at over
58,{i00,O00.

1MPEACHMENT OF
SUPREME JUDGES
Justice Furches Has a Ready Answer
for Every Question.
STONG FRIENDS ON THE STAND.
JuKtice Douglas Also Submitted to a Rigid
Cross-Examination?The Question of
Property Rights io an
Office.
(Special Dispatch to The Times.)
RALEIGH, N; C, March 19.?During to
day's session of the court for the im
peachment of Chief Justice Furches and
Associate Justice Douglas, the cross-ex
aminauon of Chief Justice Furches was
concluded, and the testimony of Associ?
ate Justice Douglas taken. The cross
exami nation of Judge Furches was, as on
yesterday, conducted by Hon. C. B. AVat
eon, counsel for prosecution.
Chief Justico Furches had a ready ans?
wer for every question and cited prece
dents through a course of sixty years for
the justification of his position.
QUESTION OF CHARACTER.
A- the conclusion of Furches' testimony,
Major AV. M. Robbins, 3. B. Holeman, J.
H. Hoffman and Dr. "VV. S. Stephenson
were introduced as witnesses to prove
Chief Justice Furches' character. All
gave him the highest possible standjng.
Holeman said Furches' was a strong par
lisan, but did not think that would sway
him in judicial decislons.
Major Robbins, a prominent Democrat,
shed tears in testifying that he had loved
Furches all his life as a man, and hated
his politics.
AVatson was cross-examining Robbins,
and, in answer to a question, said Furches
was no more partisan in his politics than
he (Robbins) and Watson in theirs.
This elicited great applause from spee
tators, so much so that the Sergeant-at
Arms threatened to clear the galleries.
CHIEF DOUGLAS.
Associate Justice Douglas' direct testi?
mony was very similar, to that of Furches.
His cross-examination by Watson was
very rlgid, involving all nianner of ques?
tions of law. The only notable feature
was that Douglas admitted that, accord
ing to his ruling- in White* s case, a legis
lature could elect a man to an office for
forty years or life. and he would have a
vested right that could only be arihulled
by aboiishing the office and its duties.
To-morrow Associate Justice Mont
gomery will take the witness stand.

MURDERER FOR INSURANCE.

Crime,
(Special Dispatch to Tho Times.)
SUEFQLK, VA., March 19.?In an ad
"oinihg county there are rumors that a
lady who was buried some days ago was
murdered, but no arfests have been made
and the officiais talk of the alleged crime
guardedly. It was meant to have the
woman's body disinterred to-day for an
autopsy, but because the grave is beyond
the county line. a lack of jurisdiction is
contended. The motive given for the
alleged rmurder in the report is the value
of an irisurance pdlicy carried on her life.
The State's attorney, in a message re?
ceived here to-night, says he is not in a
position to talk of the matter.

Yesterday we were successful in having our store
crowded almost to the very doors with people who came on
the first day of the opening to view the largest, brightest
aud best assortment of Trimmed Millinery it has ever been

of your friends and neighbors yesterday.
You are not asked to buy; merely to look at our styles.
