NOW STORED IN THE EAST. The cabin In which Abraham Lincoln was born will be erected in Cherokee Park for Home-coming week, it the present owners can be Induced to lend the historic logs for the occasion. The sub-committee in charge of the arangements for Daniel Boone Day, which will be Friday, June 15. of Home-coming week, have taken up the matter and will make every effort to secure the cabin, believing that the thousands of home-corners would be greatly enthused by the sight of the house in which Abraham Lincoln was born. Pendleton C.

Beckley, chairman of the Committee on Daniel Boone Day. yesterday wrote to Robert J. Collier, of Collier's Weekly, explaining the plans of the Executive Committee for Home-coming week, and asking that the Lincoln cabin be loaned for the occasion. Mr. Beckley believes that Mr.

Collier will look favorably upon the committee's request, and that the logs will be shipped to Louisville and be set up for Home-corning week. The cabin "was removed from the farm in Larue county, where Lincoln's father and mother were living at the time of the martyred President's birth, and were set up at St. Louis for exhibition during Lhe Louisiana Purchase Exposition. At the close of the exposition the cabin wa.s sold at auction and was purchased by Mr. Robert J.

Collier, of Collier's Weekly. Mr. Collier also organized the Lincoln Park As sociation, which has purchased the ljincoin tarm, and which convert it into a nationa honor of the man who was born there. Tho intra nf tho i.inin of the Lincoln cabin was per poncynoiuers. wno neen in-suianc-.

rhMo nim- ta ciples, but may he somewhat modincu Specially Pro pa red for It Is with much pleasure thai I accept the invitation to contribute to the Courier-Journal a communication expressing -my views upon the subject of life insurance, and in doing so it seems most convenient to follow the outline laid down in your letter. First "The marvelous growth and development of the insurance business in this It Is creditable to the ser.se of responsi bility ieit uy those upon whom others are dependent that life insurance has reached ils present masnlhi pi-ril iims. In ten years the amount or outsiandinir in- LllUfU aUlLth Hills inan aoubled. and is now (S12.54S.000.000) little less than the total outstanding iui.h.s ana bonds or all the railway companies in the country tJ13.T45.00u.i'00.) It Is equal' to more than half th value ot all farming property in the United States, including lands, buildings, implements and live stock, which, according to the census of 1900. was 520.440,000.000.

and exceeds the capital invested in manufacturing enterprises, which at the same time and by the same authority was That life Insurance is more and more regarded as a necessary form of protection cannot be better shown than bv these comparisons. Second "The Importance of in-eurarice viewed from the standpoint of protection to dependent families and also as a means of building up an. estate for old age." It requires little argument or illustration to sustain this proposition. So thoroughly and so logically has the doctrine been expounded all over the United States that 3i may be assumed that every man. at least every one having others to provide for.

Is convinced not onlv of the utflitv loit of the duty of insurance. Many still need persuasion against the tendency to postpone the performance of Important duties and against the tendency to do them Incompletely. The principal duty of the insurance solicitor now is to convince nis cuents that they should do it now. Many die leaving no other estate, and many others have no other means upon "whih to depend in their advanced years Than the endowment fund provided by earlier prudence and foresight. Life Insurance is the one Instrumentality by which losses and misfortunes may be shared by those who employ it.

If the policy holder dies after paying one premium, his family receives a sum it would take years to accumulate. If hr jrrows old the insurance is stiil worth all It costs, not only in the sense security It affords, hut in the actual value of what might not and In most caes would have been saved. Besides it is worth something to have contributed toward the mitigation of the misfortunes of others. Every man should provide himself with hfp insurance when he is young; when the self-denial it cots will do him the most good; when rates are lowest; when he is in ktkwI heahh. and when his family needs it most.

It ls pathetic to witness the penalties paid by those who procrastinate. Kvery company receives no end of applications from men over fifty who are r'-rtvious tn repair the neglect of younger mil more thoutrhtless years, and who for the first time find that by reason of im-rtired health and advancing age no will accept them. Third "The features of the policy contract that should be considered most carefully, that Is to say, whether annual or deferred dlvi-' )(rdends. ordinary or limited participating or nonpartlci-ftating policies are the better for the average man." Viil insurance is better or cheaper for the hvorage or for nny other man than straight nonpar ticlpating insurance. A fixed premium pays for a definite amount of insurance.

It buys as much and in st cases than equal sums paid shipped to New York, where they are Nuw. Albany, to be applied toward de-now stored wiuting the time when thv I graying the expense of saying masses losses among themselves by such contributions as are found necessary for that purpose, but this principle cannot be applied to such organizations as the mutual companies have come to be. They have expanded both numerically and territorially far beyond mutual limitations. The idea of popular and equal suffrage and of government by the members of their corporate affairs is a delusion in some companies, a deception In others, while in others It has been carried on by such that nobody, not even the most obscure and inexperienced member, is deluded or deceived. There is little hope tlr.it any method can be devised under which the policyholders in a mutual company can really achieve self-government or representative government.

It seems to me probable that a few years 1 more of observation will Incline those who study this problem to abandon the present idea that mutualization Is rtesira-! hie, and will seek to have insurance place upon a Msis involving more business i and less mistaken sentiment. 1 The business policy that has always dls-tinguifihed the Travelers is above set forth, and it Is the purpose of its pres-I er.t officers to continue it. 1 Sixth "The probable effect on in-I suraneo trenerallv of the recent in vestigation by the Armstrong Committee in New York." The effect of this patient, exhaustive and intelligent inquiry cannot be othcr-wl. than beneficial. The committee recommends a dellnite limitation upon magnitude and prohibits the payment of ex- trayagant ommfssions.

It is proper to prohibit absolutely, political or other contributions and to prescribe penalties for all who shall either give or take bribes. This measure has been wisely extended not only to insurance companies, but to all other corporations.

The committee might well have done the same thing respecting publicity. Publicity is required of insurance companies, and always has been, exceeding that required of any other class of cor- orations. To this there is no objection, ut the same rule should baappliod to all corporations of other States transacting business In New York, to the great and lasting benefit of the public, not only of that State, but of others, upon the same penalty suffered by insurance companies that of exclusion from the State. In some respects I differ with the committee. The bill it has prepared disregards the comity that should be observed among States and if enacted as presented will prove to be an effectual check upon uniformity of laws and practice.

The companies and the public have long suffered from diverse and conflicting laws, unequal taxation and ununi-form department requirements. The outlook for a better understanding has began to look encouraging, but the Armstrong Bill will turn that movement in the wrong direction for these reasons; If the department of any State shall refuse to accept a New York certificate of the solvency and good standing of a New York company, the New York department may thereupon exclude from New York every company of such other State. It is nevertheless made the duty of the New York department to examine once in three years every company doing business in that State, and the superintendent is not permitted to accept from any other department such a certificate of solvency and good standing as all other departments must accept from New iorK or suiter exclusion. This Is a weapon that will do far more execution at the breech than at the muzzle, and in view of the wholesale retaliation it Invites it seems probable that the committee has somehow done that which it did not intend to do. The bill contains extreme provisions respecting Investments, accumulation and distribution of surplus, expenses of con ducting business, compensation of agents hiiu sianuara iorms or policies.

All these lelate to the domestic or Internal affairs of the several companies, and anv State may with propriety prescribe regulations concerning them for the government of its own companies. But the bill places these limitations not only upon New York companies, but excludes companies of other States that do not conform their affairs to the New York standard. Other States may, with equal propriety, erect standards of their own and exclude from their borders the companies of New York and of other States that do not adopt them. Instead of progress with uniform legislation and methods, and instead of a better understanding among the States, this measure is a long step in the direction of creator rlfvprsitv nnd misunderstanding. The attempt of New-York to govern the domestic nffairs of companies of other States will, if successful, drive many companies out of New York, but It will react with greater severity upon New York bv excluding its companies from many other States.

The bill should be. and probably will be. so amended as to concede to other States authority over the corporations (t create, and so amended as to impose upon such corporations as may wish to engage In business In New York reasonable requirements not in conflict with the current of legislation and of the kind wherewith New York companies must and can comply elsewhere. The renort of the committee derives n. I decided flavor from the fact that its inquiries were addressed chieflv to the evil practice of a limited number of companies, and little time was given anvon to say something in favor of the c-ond done by honest men engaged In honest insurance.

But the work of the com- mittee has been conscientiously perform- ed, and while thi comment hns reviewed some of its conclusions that deserve and will probably receive further corsHen- 1 tlon. it Is not designed to undeesfimnt0 the value of the beneficial and helpful results achieved by Mr. Armstrong and i h's assccintes. their counsel nnn" actuaries, All fbes? command themselves.

Wednesday mid-night G. B. Gresham, a brakeman in the service of the Southern Railway Company, who lived at 207 West Market street.

Gresham and a companion, Orville Smith, were on the top of the train, which was in charge of Conductor William Atz, and was coining east.

An overhanging branch, weighted down by the sleet and Ice, struck the brakemen. sweeping them from the top of the train. Gresham was thrown between two cars and was horribly mangled, his death occurring while Smith fell clear of the track and, besides being badly bruised, had three ribs fractured. The absence of the Ian-terns gave the other members of the crew notification that something hod the train was stopped and the body of the dead man and his injured companion was picked up and brought into New Albany. Gresham was twenty-seven years old and is survived by his widow and two children.

His body was prepared for burial at Gwin undertaking establishment, and It will be taken to Eckerty, his former home, for burial. Will Probated.

WRONG MAN About To Be Appointed By Gov. Hanly. MIXES UP BROTHERS WHO DIFFER POLITICALLY. A. I.

FRANK NAMED POLICE COMMISSIONER. DIVORCE SUIT ON TRIAL Although no official announcement has yet been, received, the Information comes from Indianapolis that Adolph I. Prank has been appointed a member of the Jeff ersonville Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners to succeed Charles A. Schimpff, who retires as president. He has been on the board for eight years and nearly three months, his time having expired on January 1, but Gov.

Kanly for some reason has been slow In naming a new man. It had been rumored in Jeffer-sonvllle that Mr. Frank would be named and the announcement caused no surprise. Up to last night his commission had not arrived. Mr.

Prank has lived in Jeffersonville nearly all his life and has been active to a certain extent in Republican politics. He lias served in the City Council and in 1893 was made a Police Commissioner by Gov. Claud Matthews. He served four years and was succsej-ed by George R. Clark.

At the session of the Indiana Legislature of 1897 and after the Republicans had gained control of the State, the old metropolitan police law was repealed and a new one enacted at once cn the same lines to give the Republicans control of all the boards. Mr. Schimpff came in shortly after this. For several years Mr. Prank has been employed as a clerk in the dry-goods store of his brother.

H. M. Frank, and is a man of the highest morals. He is a devout member cf Wall-street Methodist Episcopal churcn and a temperance advocate. In his official position he will endeavor to see' that Gov.

Hanly's views cn the liquor traffic are carried out, but says ne knows cf no new orders to introduce, as he considers the city In a good moral condition. There will be no compromise with him and the salcon owners will be. given no chance to evade the laws. By an oversight of Gov. Hanly Mr.

Frank's brother. H. M. Frank, who is a Democrat, came near being appointed. In considering applications for the appointment of a successor for Mr.

Schimpff, Gov. Hanly conceived the idea that the retiring Commissioner was a Democrat and one of his party would have to be appointed. The name of A. I. Frank had been submitted, but Gov.

Hanly understock it was H. M. Frank and was on the eve of appointing him when it was discovered a mis take had been made. The two other members of the board are J. E.

Tag-gart, a Republican, and John B. Murphy, a Democrat. Death Brings Relief. Death came as a relief to William O. La-Duke, of Port Fulton, a suburb of Jeffersonville, who hod been ill for months of Bright's disease.

A few weeks ago Mr. LaDuke's eyesight began to fail as a result of the ravages of the disease and early this week he became entirely blind. He was cognizant of the fact that there was no relief for him and met death as bravely as a soldier on the battlefield. Mr.

LaDuke was a moral, honest Christian man and was held in the highest esteem by his neighbors' and large circle of acquaintances. For years he had been in the grocery business in the village and last November was elected a member of the Town Board.

Peter Moran. a former well-known Democratic politician of this city who was There are good and substantial reasons why Intelligent people and physicians as well, employ Dr.

Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the cure of diseases and weakness peculiar to women. In the first place. It is not a cure-all, serving only a singleness of purpose, being a specific for one class of diseases only those peculiar weaknesses and maladies Incident to women. Besides it is the only medicine put up for sale through druggists for the cure of such maladies, all the ingredients of which have the endorsement of leading medical practitioners and writers, as being the very best known remedies for the ailments for which "Favorite Prescription" Is advised. All this will be learned to tho reader's full satisfaction by perusing a booklet ot extracts compiled by Doctor Pierce from standard authorities of the several schools of practlco, and which will be sent free to any address on request for same, mailed to Dr.

E. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. In the second place, Dr.

Pierco's Favorite Presclption is the only medicine for woman's peculiar weaknesses and affections, all the ingredients of which are printed upon the bottle wrapper in -plain English, so that all who- take It may know exactly what thoy arc using. A further reason for the unprecedented' popularity of the Favorite Prescription of Dr. Pierce for the special use of women, is to be found in the fact that it contains not a drop of alcohol pure, triple-refined glycerine, of proper strength, being used Instead, both for extracting and preserving the medicinal principles extracted from such roots of native, medicinal, forest plants as are employed in its make-up. Tho printed formula will also bear witness that It contains no narcotics or other harmful or habit-forming drugs, being entirely made up of glyceric extracts of native, American plants of marvelous efficacy in the cure of the diseases peculiar to women. Now, in this connection, it is well to bear in mind, that, curious as it may seem, yet it is a fact that Dr.

Pierce's Favorite Prescription is tho only medicine for the cure of women's peculiar weaknesses and maladies that does not contain alcohol and that too in large quantities. This fact can he easily proven; and yet It is a fact well known to all the best physicians that alcohol, even In small quantities, when long continued is very harmful, and esDecialUi so to weak, invalid, nervous women. While the effect of spirituous wines and liquors, sold under various enticing names may at first be to exhilerate, brace -up and unduly support the system for a brief time, yet a reaction comes sooner or later and tile patient Is worse off than before. Besides, a craving for alcoholic stimulants has Gradually fastened itself upon the poor, deluded, suffering woman a maiaay generally more to oe dreaded than the orieinal affliction. Furthermore, Dr.

Pierce's Favorite Prescription has a record of qires extending over a perlod.exceeding one-third of a century and embracing more genuine cases ot full andicompleto recovery than any other medicine in its line can bonst of. Thousands have boon saved from the bv the use of this marvelously efficacious specific for woman's ailments. Other thousands have escaped thq disagreeable ordeal of the doctors' questionings, and offensive examinations by': taking this remedy and being cured In the prlvacy of their homes. It nas cured thousands of had, obstinate cases in which doctors had failed and In which cures were thought to Be Impossible. What it has done for others it will no doubt, do fob you, if similarly afflicted, and you give it a good, fair and faithful trial.

In favor of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription being regarded away above the secret patent medicines ot our time, is the DEATHS. BITTNBR Fell asleep at 11:30 p. March 14. 1500, Henry O.
