Refining Company.
Tronton, New Jersey.—A bill in
equity which calls upon the Ameri-

an account of its business for the
past four years was filed before Chan
cellor Magle Friday on behalf of Geo.

vania sugar refining company of Phil-
adelphia. Tbe suit, it is said, is the
ouly one of the kind ejer filed in
this country and the step taken by
tbe receiver of the Pennsylvania com-
pany may be the means of opening au
entire new field for investigating
trusts. The suit is separate from that
for $;!0,000,000 damages which Karl;
instituted against the American Su-
gar Refining company in New York.
Earle holds that in procuring the

company became a trustee *for the
concern, and is responsible to It for
an accounting although the American
company never operated the Pennsyl-
vania company's plant.

Economy, Publicity and the Paramount
Interest of Policyholders.
President Kingsley, of the New
York Life Insurance Company, says,
in an address to the policyholders,
that his plan of administration in-
volves these points:
"First: Strict economy; second,
the widest, fairest and fullest public
ity; third, the continuance of the New
York Life as a world-wide institution;
fourth, such an amount of new busi-
ness under the law as we can secure
while practicing intelligent economy,
and enforcing the Idea that the inter-
est of the policy-holder Is paramount."
The Tell Tale Voice.
"If you want to tell whether or not
the man you are talking to is telling
the truth don't look him in the eyes,"
said a Denver bank teller to some
friends. "It is the voice, when you
don't look at the eyes, that tells you
whether the other fellow is lying. We
use the system frequently in the bank.
A man will come in to tell us some
business tale. We look at his feet or
his hands or his knees, but never In
his eyes. If he's telling the truth his
voice will be firm and straightforward,
and the absence of your gaze in his
eyes will not affect it. But if he's
lying he'll be confused by your ac-
tion, and his voice will tremble; he'll
hem and haw, and clear his throat.
You may rest assured then that he's
stringing you."
