"Do the heirs-of a suicide have to prove
thj Insanity of the deceased In order to
recover the amount of his life insurance
policy?" Is tho question that 1s not unnat
•upreme court, already referred to In this
of Justice Harlan of the Untied States
supreme court, already referred to In these
column. To which It Is replied that Jus
tice Harlan's decision can hardly overrule
the terms of a contract. In the case which
he decided, the Insured committed suicide
within less than a year after Increasing his
Insurance to tho extent of $200,000. nnd it
was shown that he had written a letter
the day before his death, stating that he
Intended to kill himself, so that his life
Insurance could be used to pay his debts.
Of course, If such a trick upon an insur
ance company wore lo be permitted, honest
minded policy holders would be the suffer
ers, because their Interests could not be
properly safeguarded. Justice Harlan did
not decide that the heirs of a suicide have
to prove the insanity of the deceased In
order to recover tlie amount of the policy.
He decided that when a man deliberately
declared that Ills purpose was lo kill him
self to get the benefit of bis life Insurance
he should be held to forfeit his policy. The
case referred to went before a jury and
Was appealed from court to court until It
reached the highest court ln the land, and
the Jury and the courts all decided against
the Insured.

The letting of the contract for putting
under ground the extensive system of
wires for the Edison Electric company In
this city marks another step in municipal
progress towards the point where all such
wires shall lie remov ed from the disfigur
ing position they now occupy In be public
streets. The Edison Electric company,
which Is the successor to the West Side
Lighting company, will have to expend
about 8180,080 In the work now being under
taken for the purpose of complying with
the city ordinance requiring all w ires to be
put under ground on or before April Ist.
It Is worthy of note that the corporation
lid not find ll necessary to accept an offer
made to It by the General Electric com
pany of Schenectady. X. ST., which sub
mitted llgurcs for installing the whole
underground system. The Edison company
obtained a local bid and found that the
Alcatraz I'avlng company was able to do
the work at figures which were satisfac
tory, and therefore decided to give the
contract to a home institution. The Al
catraz people are also doing the work of
putlliig'ln the conduits for the San Gabriel
J*owcr company and arc under contract to
get this work dome In time for tlie resur
facing of Spring and Main streets*
000
The works of the Edison Electric com
pany are to be built upon the lot formerly
belonging to the Lichtenbcrger estate, on
the south side of Fourth street, opposite
the Johnson house, the company having
Just purchased ihe lot tor that purpose.

A. process has recently been perfected
by which thin sheets of absolutely trans
parent celluloid are silvered similarly to
the process formerly used on glass. Such
S plate of celluloid Is covered with silver
on the back, and another celluloid plate is
fhstehed on the back of the mirror thus
formed. This naturally forms another mir
ror, so that the value of the celluloid mir
ror is enhanced by being equally perfect
on either side, making it a double looking
glass.

Conditions Shown by the Dealings on
Wall Street
NEW YORK, Feb. s.—Today's stock mar
ket was lifted to a higher level by the con
spicuous strength of comparatively few
stocks. II was noteworthy that the Van
derbilts, which gave the Initial impetus
to yesterday's advance, showed the effects
today of prollt taking. Lake Shore losing
two points and New York Central a small
fraction. Michigan Central, after bound
ing upward at the opening, reacted over
a point, but clOSed with a substantial gain.
The far-reaching importance of the merg
ing of New York Central and Lake Shore
and the prospects ot additions to the plan
continued to have a marked sentimental
effect all along the line.
At different times during tho week the
market has been under the Influence of
aggressive strength In Chesapeake and
Ohio, Baltimore and Ohio, Louisville,
Pennsylvania, Northern Pacific preferred,
the coalers, Union Pacific, and other less
conspicuous stocks. Wide advances have
occurred in some of tho high priced, close
ly held investment stocks, notably Great
Northern preferred, which advanced an
extreme 27 points, but reacted four points.
The bond market has continued to show
the groat activity and strength which It
did In January. The total par value of
sales In .January wad nearly $93,000,000. This
total wan never exceeded on the exchange,
i xoept In October, 188.', when the sales cx
< coded 8140.000.000. In view of the present
Importance attached to the New York Cen
tral-Lake Shore consolidation, H Is con
sidered significant that the previous pe
riod of greatest activity was at the time
Ot the West Shore settlement. Kansas
Pacific consols shqwed an extreme ad
vance for the week of 12% points, and
other Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific
'issues showed large advances, Prices all
around are markedly high, Total sales,

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade in
Cereals
CHICAGO, Feb. s.—For a few minutes
after the opening wheat was Inclined to
sympathize with tlie action of the Liver
poo] market. That market, after opening
a little higher, declined and closed V \d.
lower, in the face of yesterday's Improve
ment here. The lirst sales of May were
consequently at a slight decline, May open
ing at $i%<lf%, against yesterday's closing
price of 95fc. Besides the Liverpool de
cline, northwest receipts continued heavy.
Moderate buying by the long interests,
principally, supplemented by v little cov
ering by St. Louis brokers of lines put out
yesterday, carried the price of May stead
ily up to 96M®96H. The advance was aided
by tlie continuous strength of oats and
provisions, both of which markets made
new prices for the season during the morn
ing. There were reports of grain famine
frpm parts of Southeastern Russia, and
California reported a continuation of the
drought. A factor in the advance wus Un
report that the reduction in the Italian
grain duty would probably remain in effect
until the Inst of May.
Prices eased off slowly, but closing Paris
cables caused another brief period of
strength. Paris was from 40 to 05 cen
times higher for flour und 10 to 16 centimes
higher for wheat. During the last hour
of the session jrices gradually receded.
May closing at 96c.
Corn was linn but dull, and May closed
unchanged.
Oats were active, and the market made
a new high point for the season. Maj*
closed at 24%, an advance of %c.
Provisions were quite active. Packers
did considerable buying. Prices reached
the highest point of the season, but heavy
realizing at the top caused a reaction. The
market closed steady, but with all the ad
vance lost. May pork, lard and ribs closed
2!f.c lower.

What Is a Kiss?
A student Of humanity, resident in St.
Louis, has collected definitions of a kiss
from persons more or less competent to
speak on this important subject. Here
arc some of the definitions:
To a bashful man the acme of agony.
Woman's passport to her husband's
purse.
The poorest mother's richest gift.
Tin; safety vulve to exuberant feel
ing.
Nature's Yolapuk.
The drop that causes the cup of love
to overflow.
A two-faced action that meets with
mutual approval
Cupid's sealing wax
It's like the wind that blows—felt, but
not seen.
That in which two heads are better
than one.
Two orbicularis muscles in a state of
contraction and in anatomical juxta
position.
Cupid's cruising smack.
Printing without ink; no proof sheets
wanted.
Report at headquarters.
The sounding system used by the op
erator in sending a telegram to the
heart.
The sweetest fruit on the tree of love.
The best tincture in the household
medicine cupboard.
Love's most ecstatic expression and
sorrow's sweetest balm.
A woman's most effective argument.
The striking of a love match.
A thing that cannot be tak"n without
giving, and cannot be given without tak
ing.
A universal plaster that heals all
wounds given in thoughtless tiffs.
Enlargement of the heart, the symp
tom of which is contraction of the
) mouth.
| A "stick of matter"—two "heads" and
lan application.
j .Much prised by two —of no use to one.
i Tie- dew on the flower of love.
! Th" electric motor that sends the trol
ley of love to the recorder's office,
| The soul's plenipotentiary, — New
i York World.
"The radical critics allow us, us a
small consolation for the loss of things
that have been taken away," says thr
New York Observer (Pres.). "a eruml
of comfort in the reflection that man.
average man. is a trifle better than his
ancestors were ages ago. For this state
ment again they offer no proof, but
since it tallies better with the omnivor
ous evolution theory to believe this, we
are asked to credit the fact. But the
fact, if a fact, points no moral In favor
of this intolerant iconoclasm of old be
i liefs. Fur who made man to become
1 better? Whut has improved him? Only
I the gospel of Christ, which has not sim
ply repaired 'the broken fragment of a
perfect Adam,' but has regenerated
him. For, as Dr. Pnrkhursl has re
marked in a lecent sermon. 'Scripture
has nothing tn say about mending the
natural heart.' or 'doctoring or tinker
ing the native disposition. The gospel
is not a hospital nor a repair-shop. The
Old Testament ln its opening shows us
God in the act of making new men and
women .and we call it redemption, the
same thing.' Unltarlanlsm has given
us little but words In place of the faiths
which it says, since the wish is father
to the thought, have gone. We prefer
tn keep our belief In God. In God's Bible,
and in the fact of God's redemptive
work with men. and we advise all others
who value their souls to do the same."
A Denver dispatch says: Carefully
compiled figures place the output of
gold ln Colorado during 181)7 at $23,800,000,
again of 57 per cent, while California will
not reach over $18,000,000. Of this prod
uct Cripple Creek contributes $12,000,
--000. The output would have been much
greater had the chemical reduction
plants been able to handle all the ore
that was offered. One million dollar?
was Invested In chemical treatment
works at Cripple Creek during the year,
yet the additional capacity could not
meet the demands of the mines. One
remarkable feature is the total silver
output, which is greater than that of
1892, the greatest silver year of the state,
notwithstanding the fact that all mines
which carry principal values in silver
had to shut down. The output comes
entirely from gold ores which carry a
little silver. The silver output was $14,
--746,004, or 2!,. r p!i4.210 ounces, against 24,
--432,.'103 ounces in 1802. Lead product is
$3,323,827; copper, $1,006,334.
H. I. H. Eugenic Christoforo Paleo

which the reigning monarohs of' Europe
are a mere mushroom growth. She
unites in herself the claims of all the
dynasties who, from the time of Con
stantine to the fall of Constantinople,
occupied the throne of the eastern
Caesars. Her father. Prince Christo
foro, was a candidate for the Greek
throne in 1863, when the powers unjustly
placed George the Dane in his place.

A bride and bridegroom who went to

The law which at present governs the

can be no failure. Where such chemical
relations aro not known there can bo
nothing but guesswork. All the Mun
yon remedies are based upon sclent mc
knowledge based upon systematic, inves
tigation and experiment.
Miss Marie R. Rchlnson, 1.51 Stockton
Street, San Francisco, Cal., says: ' For
three years I suffered with chronic bren
chltls.'sometlmes being unable to sleep at
night with the Itching of the throat that
would cause no end of hard coughing. In
the morning I was frequently not ln a nt
condition to go to work. Doctors and
remedies did me no good, but cost mo
much money. -My suffering was unbear
able. I began using Munyon's Remedies
four months ago, and Immediately found
the greatest relief, and. thanks to Mun
yon. I am now entirely cured."
Mr. A. Malret, V!O0 Morrison Street,
Portland, Oregon, says: " My wife has
been so much benefited by the use of
Munyon's Rheumatism Cure that she
feels like a young woman again. I can
also praise Munyon's Catarrh Cure.
They have accomplished In a few weeks
what treatment by the best specialists
have failed to .10. When we first began
taking the little pellets we had no faith,
but now we are forced to admit that
they are wonderful euros."
