It should have done better, as has retlybetn shown. Under the present management all policy-holders may expect unusually favorable results. This is made reasonable by the facts that it is a strictly Mutual Company, operated under New York laws, which are now the best in the world; that its great volume of bnsiness.means smaller snare ot expense on each policy, and that the new methods and eccomies, which are now a part ot its con-stitution, will save immense sums which must go to the policy-holders, as the only proper place.

141 Students. FATHER. WANTfED CHILD LIVE WITH HIM. TO OLD FOLKS PERMITTED TO SEE LITTLE ONE AT WILL. MRS.

BADGER DIES OF OLD AGE When Judge Harry C. Montgomery took up the habeas corpus proceedings of Illlam W. Enlow against Ernest Schleicher and his aged wife, Harriet Schleicher, to secure possession of his child. Grace Louise Enlow, who is three years old, the court room was the setting for a touching scene. The little one had been living with her grandparents, near Gordon, for two years, and wanted to remain with them instead of going with her father who had recently married the second time and moved to Louisville.

As soon as Mrs. Schleicher had seated herself in the courtroom, she began to scream, and was finally pacified by Judge Montgomery, who requested all the parties to the suit to walk Into his private office. Enlow, who is a steady, hard-working railroad man, was there with his wife, to whom he was married recently, and two other relatives, and tears filled his eyes as he saw the distress under which Mrs. Schleicher was laboring. "Judge," said Schleicher, when the case was called, "we will give the child up without any lawing, as we know we have no legal claims on her, although her mother was our daughter, but It almost kills us to do so.

All we ask is that we be allowed to have Grace come to see us occasionally and we would like the privilege of going to see her when in Louisville." Judge Montgomery said he thought this could be arranged without trouble and turned to Enlow, who said he would be glad to have the grandparents call whenever they felt so disposed. An order was made that the child should visit its grandparents once ev ery month, beginning with September 1. The grandparents can go to see ner at any time. After the narty left the courtroom and tho child was being turned over to her father, there was another scene in which the little one begged to be allowed to go back home with Mr. and Mrs.

Schleicher, but she finally went with her father. Enlow's first wife died about two years ago, and his wife's rnrents took the child. Recently Enlow married and went to housekeeping In Louisville and wanted his daugh ter, but could not get ner witnout a law suit. He said yesterday he had no hard feelings against his dead wife's parents and would be glad to have them come and see him. Before leaving them he had them to shake hands with him and displayed a feeling of friendship for them.

H. THARP In PREVALENT AMONG CHLLDBEN OF CITY. FALLS CITY ONE OF TWO HOTTEST PLACES IN COUNTRY. READINGS FOR THE DAY. Louisville is In the clutches of a hot wave that promises to cor.tinuo for several days, to the utter disappoint ment of a.

suffering population. Dis trict Forecaster "WaJz said last night that he could see no break in the hot spell for tho next few days. He also said that he would himself hie to the mountains of Virginia this morn tng, though he disliked much to leave his patrons in Louisville and vicinity in such strained and uncomfortable circumstances. The hot wave so far has been responsible for three deaths fn Louisville and for a great deal of sickness aaion; children, so the physicians assert. A veli-known physician said last night that he did not know when he had seen so much sickness among childicn, a.

year old and under. He said th hot spell following a long wet season has been a fever-breeder among the young. Xot so much sickness is reported among adults, though there may be a turn for the worse should the present spell continue any length of time. Louisville and North Platte, were the two hottest points in the "United States yesterday, the thermometer in each registering 94 degrees. At 7 last night Louisville held the top notch again, the thermometer rest ing at SS degrees.

The only redeeming feature yesterday' was a breeze in the afternoon, which lessened the percent-age of the humidity somewhat. About the only relief that can be looked for within the next few" days is local thunderstorm arid shower, but this would have to come without the foreknowledge of the weather man. The present hot spell is telling on people who have to work the sun, The nights have begun to be unbear able almost. Complaints of not heing able to sleep among the local population were heard on all sides yesterday. In many places indoor electric fans only stirred up hot air and afforded but little relief.

People went to the parks last night in droves. Thousands took rides on the cars, seeking relief from the intense heat. THE3EE DEATHS FROST HEAT. Patrick McCarthy, John Bauer and George Hexra, Victims. Patrick McCarthy, thirty-two years old, died at his home, '2122 Bank street, yesterday morning from the effects of heat prostration.

Sunday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, at Twenty-first and Griffiths avenue, while on the way to his home, he suffered a sunstroke and was picked up from the sidewalk by persons who had seen him fail and conveyed to his home. Dr. J.

P. Ferguson was called, but the patient never regained consciousness, and sank gradually until death tame yesterday Xi.orning. Mr. McCarthy is survived by his mother. Mrs.

Margaret McCarthy, two bro tliers, James and Michael McCarthy, and a sister, Miss Xellie McCarthy, who is in Canada on a visit. The funeral arrangements have not yet been made. John W. Bauer, sixty-nine years old, died of dropsy and the heat at his home, 2215 Bank street, early yesterday morning. He was found dead in bed by his wife, who summoned Dr.

C. R. Wilson. The physician pronounced death due to dropsy. Mr.

Bauer had been In ill health for several months, and complained during the past few days of the intense heat, which is believed to bave hastened his death. Mr. Bauer was a Union veteran and a native of Germany. He came to Louisville when a young man. and had lived here since.

He was a boilermaker by trade. Besides his wife, he is survived by a daughter, Mrs. John Berry, and seven sons, Herman Bauer, of Greensburg, William Bauer, of Fort Wayne, George Bauer, of Memphis. and John Charles, Edward and Henry Bauer, of Louisville. The arrangements for the funeral will not be made until the arrival of some of his sons from other cities.

Judge Bcthea authorized Receiver Dawes to employ counsel to Insure the assets of the 'corporation, and to continue the store In business ten days. The receiver, however, did not take advantage of the last named privilege.

The aid Is subject to assignment to any duty required oi any other officers of the permanent neid lorce. Abundant Opportunity. In general, the exigencies of the serv ice niace tne aids so promptly respon sible positions that there is an abundant opportunity for a man of exceptional aonity to become Known.

The law now provides for ten aids at $720 per annum, thirteen aids at $900, six aids at $1,100, twenty-two as shnants at $1,200 to $1,800. and thirty assistants at f.yuu to These statements of salary are mis leading unless taken in connection with the fact that the necessary traveling ex penses incurred in the line of duty are paid by the Government, and that in add! tlon to his salary an aid or assistant is paid an allowance for subsistence to cover the ordinary living expenses while on field duty. During this nerlod the ai lowance for subsistence is from $1 a day ior an omcer living on snipooard or in camp quarters furnished by the Govern ment, to sz.w a day ror a chief ot. party living at a hotel or other quarters not iurnisnea dv tne government, on serv ice in the Philippines the allowance for subsistence is yz.aO a day under all conditions, even at Manila.

PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY PAY FOR. ASPHALT WORK STOPPED WEST 3JIAIN STREET.

ON THE BUSINESS MEN OBJECT. A meeting of a special' committee of the Commercial Club, of New Albany, appointed by Adam Heimberger, the president, to take some action In regard to the Inspection of the storm and sanitary sewer system of that city, which is nearly completed, was held yesterday afternoon in the office of Judge George B. Cardwill, secretary of the club, on the second floor of the Federal building, in that city. The committee is composed of John S. McDonald, Arthur Gohmann, George Bor-gerding, R.

H. Bailey, C. C. Brown, W. A.

Beach, Jacob Zlnsmeister, Peter Klerner, Charles Day, Louis Hartman and Samuel E. Simonson, all representative citizens, Interested in the welfare of the community. John S.

Butleltt, City Attorney; Adam Heimberger, president, and Judge George B. Cardwill, secretary of fie -uimuerciai uiuo. Tne inspection of the sewer system had been fixed oy tne noaru of Public "Works for thi morning at o'clock. This question of Inspection was discusser! nt length and it was the unanimous feeling of me cummitten mat an inspection, wnicn consisted in ridintr over the streets under which twenty-five miles of sewers had been laid, would be use less ana equivalent to none at all. In consequence, it was decided that the inspection would not be made as a committee but that any of the mem- oers wno so desired might be present as Individuals.

The committee decided to ask the common council for an appropriation to be used in securing the services of an expert civil engineer to make .1 complete, thorough and scientific test of the svstem during its entlrp course. Should the Council decline to make the appropriation it was decided that the commercial Club furnish the money with which to have this thorough test made. The committee desired It to he distinctly understood that no effort was to be made to embarass the Mar Ion County Construction Company, the contractor for the construction of the system, in any way, and all the mem bers were cordially in favor of the contracting company being paid in full ior tne Duuding or tne system, providing the contract and the plans and specifications had been carried out to the letter and a system of sewers turn Ished that would effectively perform the work for which It was Intended. If the sewer stood the thorough tests made of its efficiency, the committee was In favor of its acceptance, but not otherwise. It was stated in the meet ing that the people of New Albany are thoroughly in favor of the movement and are willing to pay for it, but they must oe satisfied that It has been prop erly constructed.

STOP WORK ON WEST MAIN. New Albany Business Men Object To Torn-Up Condition of Street. The Board of PudIIc Works of New Albany, at a special meeting yesterday afternoon, directed the Barber Asphalt Company, the controcter for a number of streets of that city, to cease worK on West Main street for the present, until other streets on which the com pany has contracts are completed, or the work on them further advanced. The business men on West Main street had nbleeted to the street being torn up for so long a time as such action interfered with their business. The order was made by the Board of Works at the suggestion the contractor.

Work on Spring and State streets Is progressing rapidly. Two blocks on State street have been torn up, the excavations made and the concrete foundation laid preparatory to placing on it the asphalt surface. On Spring street south of the street railway track the concrete foundation has been completed from Vincennes street to West First, and a great part of the asphalt binder has been laid. As soon as the street on the south side of the street is completed, work will begin on the north side of the track and It is expected that the entire street from West First to Vincennes street will be ready for use within sixty days. The improvement of that part ot the street from West First to West Eighth will be made as rapidly as possible, as will State street, from Spring to Oak.

The Board of Public Works, also at Its meeting yesterday afternoon, canceled the contract made with the Barber Company several years ago for the Improvement of a part of Main street east of Vincennes and also passed an order giving the company authortty to lay board paving between the tracks of the P. C. C. and St. L.

on Main street east of Vincennes, over a part of the street which had been in dispute several years ago the New Albany Common Council contracted with the Barber Asphalt Company for the improvement of East Main street from Bank to Gait street, and also for the improvement of other streets of the city.

THE GERMS OF SCROFULA are related by the ties of blood, -or who have a consumptive tendency, or family blood taint, are sure to transmit it to their children in the fonn'of Scrofula. Swollen glands, brittle bones, weak eyes, hip disease, pale, waxy complexions, emaciated bodies, running sores and ulcers, arid general weak constitutions are the principal ways in which, the disease is manifested. Those who have inherited this blighting trouble may succeed in. holding" it in check during young, vigorous life but after a spell of sickness, or when the system has begun to weaken and lose its natural vitality, the ravages.of the disease will become manifest and sometimes run into Consumption.

S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and forces out the scrofulous deposits, kills the germs and completely cures the disease. It changes the quality of the blopd by removing all.

impurities and poisons and supplying this vital fluid with rich, health-sustaininsf qualities. S. S. S. is a ourelv vegetable medicine and is especially adapted to systems which have been weakened and poorly nourished by scrofulous blood.
