HAS ONLY $40,000 A YEAR.
Reasons Why Jacob Lorillard Should
Not Pay a $2,000 Note.
Rew York Sun.
Perhaps some persons who read
in the Sun of yesterday that Mr.
Jacob Lorillard had set up as a de
fense to an action brought by the
Lenox Hill Bank to recover on a
note of $2,000 that he required all
of his income of $40,000 a year to
live on wondered what he did with
so much money. The Sun reporter
tried to find out. Mr. Lorillard was
not in town to explain, but Mr.
Sweezy of Glover, Sweezy & Glover,
his attorneys, endeavored to do so.
Mr. Sweezy said that it was a mis
take to suppose that Mr. Lorillard
lives extravagantly. His income
probably does not equal one-quarter
of the amount spent annually by his
brothers, Louis and Pierre. He has
a wife and three children, and his
servants bring the number of, his
household up to twenty. Mr. Sweezy
said also that Mr. Lorillard had no
steam yacht, and nothing more am
bitious in that direction than a naph
tha launch.
Although he is a member of the
Century and Union clubs he has for
several years had no town house,
but has lived in a retired way at
Westchester. Mr. Sweezy said fur
ther that the claim against Mr.
Lorillard was morally unjust. He
had endorsed the note, although he
had received no consideration there
for.
“It is one of a number of similar
notes,” he added, “given to Pell and
Simmons, the bank wreckers. They
received them by fraudulent repre
sentations. Unfortunately this par
ticular note was given to the Lenox
Hill Bank, which these men con
trolled, and the books were manipu
lated so that the bank was made to
appear as an innocent holder of the
note. The law says that when a
commercial paper is obtained by
fraud, but gets into the hands of an
innocent party, the latter must be
protected, and the maker of the note
cannot plead the fraud as a defense.
That is why such a defense did not
avail in the case of this note. Fif
teen thousand dollars’ worth of
similar notes held by the Sixth
National Bank were sued upon some
time ago, but the books had not been
so successfully manipulated in that
bank, and our defense of fraud was
sustained.
“Mr. Lorillard’s income is derived
from property left in trust by his
father twenty-six years ago. At his
death the principal will go to his
children. Mr. Lorillard is 50 years
old, and a man of quiet tastes. So
far as our contention that Mr. Loril
lard requires $40,000 a year to live
on is concerned, such a plea is by no
means novel.. Where a testator
leaves property in trust to provide
PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER. ATLANTA. GEORGIA. FRIDAY, M'
an income to support the lagatee in
the style in which he has been accus
tomed to live, the courts will usually
sustain the devotion of the income
to that purpose. We contend that
Mr. Lorillard requires $40,000 to
support himself and his family in
the style they have been accustomed
to live in.”
There have been several instances
within recent years where the courts
have upheld contentions similar to
Mr. Lorillard’s. Several years ago
the creditors of Howell Osborn tried
to recover by levying upon the in
come of the $500,000 left in trust
for his support by his father. Howell
was then cutting a dash in Paris.
The creditors tried to prove his
extravagance to prove that he did
not require all of his income of
$25,000 to live on, but the courts
held that $25,000 was no more than
was required to s 53 pport him in the
style which he had been accustomed
before his father’s death, and refusal
to disturb the trust to pay his debts.
The Duchess of Marlborough made
a plea similar in purpose but differ
ent in form when she asked to have
her allowance from the estate left in
trust by her husband increased in
order to enable her to live in the
style to which she was accustomed.
A year ago she guardian of a baby
heiress applied to the Supreme Court
of this State for an allowance of
$5,000 a year for the baby’s support,
alleging that it was necessary to pro
vide the baby with the comforts to
which her station in life entitled her.
A somewhat different case was
that of Judge Miles Beach, who was
sued for money lost in stock transac
tions, and set up as a defense that he
had no property but his salary of
$17,500 a year, all of which he re
quired to live in a style becoming his
official dignity. This claim was up
held.
A society man, who knows what
the cost of living is in the fashionable
world, gave the reporter this estimate
of what Mr. Lorilliard’s expenses
ought to be:
Rent, $6,000 ; horses, $6,000; eat
ing, etc., $6,000; three daughters,
$15,000.
These items alone, it will be seen,
come close to eating up all of the
$40,000, and would leave him only
$7,000 for pocket money, clothes and
counsel fees,
BONDS TO BE SOLD ABROAD.
Belmont & Co. Negotiating for the
American Government.
New York World.
Wall Street had it pat yesterday
that the new administration was in
treaty with a foreign house for the
placing of some Government bonds
abroad and that there was also under
consideration an offer from a New
York institution lor the sale of $5,-
000,000 bonds to it at 4 per cent
nominally, but at a premium which
would net the buyer 3 per cent, for
the run of the bonds. All the bonds
were to be paid for and to be payable
in gold.
Inquiry showed that the foreign
house was Rothschild’s, and the ne
gotiations were going on through
Belmont & Co., their agents here.
At the office of Belmont & Co., in
Nassau street, the report would be
neither affirmed nor denied.
The local institution named was
the Mutual Life Insurance Company.
This company has about $7,000,000
now on deposit in various New York
banks, and some weeks ago wrote
the Treasury department, making an
offer to take bonds on the terms
mentioned. The company would
draw the gold from the New York
banks and turn it into the Sub-Treas
ury here. There are several banks
which could furnish as much as $5,-
000,000 from their own vaults.
At the Mutual Insurance Company
offices yesterday there was no one
who could speak authoritatively
about the matter. The report that
the Bank of Austria had ordered
$5,000,000 in gold sent from America
during March was verified, also that
the order would be filled regardless
of exchange.
When Measured by the Postoffice.
In 1853 this country had 22,320
postoffices, 217,743 miles of post
routes, and the mail service perform
ed was 61,892,542 miles. The annual
postal income amounted to about
$6,000,000 and the expenditures to
$8,000,000, leaving a deficit of over
$2,000,000. Postmaster General
Wanamaker leaves office with 67,884
postoffices and 450,491 miles of post
routes in the country performing
371,390,847 miles of mail service an
nually. Postal revenues in 1893, are
placed at $79,000,000 and expendi
tures at $80,000,000, with prospects
that this insignificant deficiency will
be practically wiped out next year.
There is no better index of the growth
of a country intellectually and com
mercially than the volume of its post
office business.
The Ohio office-seeker is nothing
if not humorous, and sometimes he is
not humorous. One of him, a Re
publican, of course, seeing that not a
loaf and not a fish will come his way
during the Cleveland administration,
has strained himself in the endeavor
to extract some fun from the situa
tion. He is one of John Caldwell’s
constituents, and it appears that in
that region the night school is a sort
of white blackbird:

How the People Are Fooled.
Caucasian, Goldsboro, N. C.
We were in Washington all last
week where we saw and heard a
great deal about the true inwardness
of the present pelitical situation.
We got back Sunday night. We
spent Monday looking over our ex
changes for the past week. It has
been rather startling to see what
they have had to say about what has
been transpiring at Washington. It
convinces us more and more of the
fact that the State and county edi
tors, and through them the people
are systematically fooled and misled
by the monopoly syndicate that
sends out the telegrams, called press
dispatches, to the papers. The true
inwardness of what is going on, and
even what is openly talked by some
congressmen, is not reported, but in
stead a lot of stuff to blind the
facts. The people could not be in
industrial slavery if they were not
first put m intelligent bondage. No
one knows this better than the money
power, and that is why they have
taken charge of the avenues of in
telligence. The people who work
have already been made so poor in
this rich country, made so by labor,
that they cannot now protect them
selves. The National Reform Press
Association has been striving to
establish a strong independent tele
graphic news association to furnish
the people with the news and the
truth, but the editors in the associa
tion (like the remainder of the peo
ple for whose common cause we are
fighting) are so poor that they have
not yet been able to succeed. The
fight for liberty and justice was com
menced too late, but we will not give
up as long as there is hope. We
will make another effort to establish
the association.
How Wall Street Would Do.
National Watchman.
During the entire silver discussion
of this as well as other sessions there
has been a universal declaration on
the part of the representatives of
Wall street in favor of bimetallism.
But the statement was always
coupled with the further declaration
that it was necessary to demonetize
silver first before this bimetallic pe
riod could be reached. Just why
such seemingly contradictory meth
ods were necessary has remained a
profound secret until last Monday,
when Bourke Cochran, the Tammany
leader in the House, gave out the ex
planation, which is as follows:
“Stop the purchase of silver to
day; notify Great Britain and the
nations of the world that if they
will agree at the conference in May
next to coin silver at a fixed ratio
with gold, we will proceed to re
arrange our coinage to meet the
agreement; that if they do not, we
will throw every ounce of our silver
on the market. Forthwith the bank
ruptcy and paralysis which would, in
my opinion, threaten the commercial
world would begin in England, and
she would be a suppliant on her
knees asking us to continue the
coinage on a basis to be fixed by
agreement between the commercial
nations. This, in a commercial sense,
would be a war measure, but it would
be an effective measure.”
There it is in the raw. A more
vicious, absurd, or unstatesmanhke
proposition never was put forward
even in the halls of Congress. In
the above paragraph lies all the
financial wisdom concerning free
coinage that Wall street can bring
forward. It will hardly do at the
present time.
SIOO Reward SIOO.
The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional ’disease,
requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, tV ereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
