We clip tho following choice NOR
ceau from the "social gossip" column
Don. Piatt's Washington Capital:
New Years day in Washington was
asweet specimen of weather tor social
purposes. All of that bad article that
lad been whirling about and above the
nome OF Old Prob. beg pardon,
va Prob. is dead; long liye Old Indi-
c'or--all the bad weather, we say,
concsntrated on the morning of the lst
.na snow storm. Good gracious, what
storm it was! Zack Chandler, the
venerable reprobate, adorned himself
~ gorgeous attire and sat between
,u.lnks for that storm to subside. At
dImo ~ noon he made his way, with some
ulnculty, catching at chairs and tables,
.ot the closet, which he mistook for a
window, and bracing himself for a
speech, said, "Ugh, Christi" The
great Michigander neglected that day
al MS official ceremonies. We have a
good story telling of how MIR. and Mrs.
onandler had a mutual surprise over a
neW bennet-no; a new hat--that the
ssnarming lady intended astonishing
ti ner liege lord with on New Years day.
She received the hat in the evening,
ana, wishing it to come out next morn
liig, hid 1t in the hat-box Now Years
I'VE, under the great Secretary's couch.
Well, never mind that story of what
peiei the hat. We are on snow storm
now, and not any other sort Of falling
weather.

ed on often to say, !" believe in the Holy
Catholic Church. but e<could not SEE
how a Church conld be catholic which said
he couldno bring poor man into church
to hear the, gospel unless he would sii
through long liturgical sermon. This
difficulty must be removed! II progress was
to be made. and q change was needed In the
city as much as in the country. #[
The Rev. Benjamin j. Douglass. OF Della.
ware, said he should vote against the amend
ment, holding that no amendment OF the
constitution was necessary.
The Rev. DR.. Fulton, OF Wisconsin, OPP
posed the amendment because in bis judg-
ment 1t was not necessary to amend the
constitution. Again, 1t was no secret that
throughout the length and breadth Of the
country had dropped the notion that they
could not join in prayer in public without
going through the entire form OF morning
or evening prayer. 1t was needless to pre-
scribe what was already used and enjoyed.
The amendment would not give greater lib
erty. which was not needed. but would
actually lessen it, binding churchmen by
canon where they were now bound only by
rubric.
Mr.. James Parker, Of New Jersey, said
he should vote against the amendment on
bis own Judgment, and also because his dio-
cese had disapproved it. lie was convinced
that the constitution as it stands was ample
to reach the emergency.
Mr.. Montgomery, Of Western New York,
said he reduced the objections to the propo-
sition to two: First, that the General Con-
vention, composed OF all the bishops and
clerical and lay deputies for every diocese,
could not be trusted with so broad a power !;
second, that the Convention already had that
power. While this deputy was speaking
the hour OF adjournment arrived.

IFE-ISsURANCE POLIC1Es.-Llfe-lnsu
ance companies have long been contestlnS
the question whether suicide vitates poll
cy when it can be proved that the person
who killed himself was insane. 1t would
be tedious to review the various stages OF
this controversy. Suffice it that the COM
panies have been complacent on several VIC
tories in the courts since ingeniously in
sorting in their policies, after the suicide
proviso, the phrase g sane or insane" The
obvious intent of the phrase IS to cover
all kinds of suicide, and decision
OF the Supreme Court reported to-day
gives tile sanction OF law to such an In
depreciation OF the contract. The words OF
the decision are well worthy OF notice:
.sIf the assured be conscious OF the physi-
cal nature of the act he is committing, and
intended by it to cause his death, the policy
is voided, although at the time he was inca
pable Of Judging between right and; wrong,
and did not understand the. moral conse'
ouences of what he was doing" There Is
hut one sensible inference to be drawn by
the public from such decisions; that's, moi
to take a policy in which the words :" sane

being thronged with citizens and the visit

and other tokens Of welcome to the visitors,
and the attractive uniform OF the knights
gave the city an unusually brilliant appear
ance.
AtG o'clock in the morning the command

neopfc of this State in position towards
the Administration at once false and lnlu-
rious.
Long before hali-past 7 O'Clock the ball

the platform amid the most enthusiastic
applause. Henry g., Stebbins called the
