The recent opinion of the New York Court
Of Appeals in the suit of the executors of the
Dwight estate against life insurance COM
pany sets forth an important principle in the
law of life insurance. In the application for
insurance Dwight had represented that his
business was ''real estate and grain" and that
he had never been liquor seller. The latter
statement was false, and Of course Dwight
knew it to be false. The Court of Appeals
holds that this misrepresentation rendered
the policy of insurance void Parties to
an insurance contract" says Chief Judge
Ruger, ''have the right to insert such lawful
stipulations and conditions therein as they
may mutually agree upon. If an insurance
policy in plain and unambiguous language
makes the observance of an apparently i'm
material requirement the condition of valid
contract neither courts nor juries have the
right to disregard it.

A Funeral by Telescope.


A correspondent in this State tells of new
and unique use a telescope was put to. The
incident came under his observation while
travelling on Lake Champlain:
Did you ever hear of attending funeral
from distance by telescopea Then I will
tell you fact 1t was during the progress
of the Adirondack survey, and some of the
choicest instruments had been brought to
Jupiter Islands, about three miles off from
Burlington breakwater. The dwellers on
the island asked for the director of the sur
vey that they might look through his most
powerful glass. At certain hour the re-
quest was granted, and the director adjusted
the glass SO as to cover certain farm house
that was pointed out. The islanders wore
unusually long faces. The one who was
peering through the glass became deeply agf-
tated, the other islanders took their handker-
chiefs from their pockets. The observer call
ed ou4: ''There, they are getting through
the services: now they are bringing the body
out: now they have him in the hearse -
With every new announcement the little
group of friends set up a wall and there
was no pause till the processian hid disap
peared behind hill. The telescope was then
returned with as it had been borrowed and
used.

PLEURO-PNEUmVNIA.

The pleuro- -pneumonia in Chicago is dis
turb1ng the owners of cattle all over the
country, and well it may. There are 81 ,20O,-
600 900 worth of cattle in the United States,
and if this disease spreads great loss may
ensue, and our export trade in live cattle and
in fresh, ,salted and canned meats be seriously
damaged.
The disease first appeared in stable where
the animals were fed with stuff from dis
tillery. The owners of the cattle at first
attributed it to chemicals used in the mash
of the distillers, also to feeding the slop too
hot, but finally concluded that it was conta-
gious pleuro-pneumouia, and began practis-
ing incubation to lessen the mortality. The
inspection of city and suburban herds
brought out the fact that the contagion had
been widely disseminated, that diseased ami
mails had been running upon lots where many
cattle grazed and that practically all of the
unfenced pastures and vacant lots the
west and south sides of Chicago must be con-
sidered infected and all of the cattle run
ming at large exposed. Most of the cases
of disease found were chronic. and some of
the herds presented plain evidence of having
been inoculated. This incubation, which
has been extensively resorted to in Chicago,
while it has lessened the Losses, appears to be
one of the means by which the contagion has
been SO widely scattered.
DR.. Salmon, the chief of the bureau of
animal industry, says that every animal in
the distillery stables and every one which has
been upon the infected commons of Chicago
should be summarily sized, condemned and
slaughtered and continues: The experience
of the world with this plague teaches us that
no other courss can be relied upon to exter-
inmate the contagion. Unfortunately it is
carried out, and that it will not be attempted
without additional legislation. During the
time which must elapse before decisive and
vigorous action can be taken public apathy
will have largely succeeded the intense inter-
est which has been manifested in this out
break of this disease, the doub5 and suspicion
which the cattle dealers have industriously
labored to create in regard to the nature of
the disease will have grown to larger proper
tions by constant repetitions, the interests
affected will have time to organize their op-
position, the contagion will have become
more deeply rooted, the task of era dication
will probably have increased in magnitude.
It is evident that active measures should
at once be taken to stamp out the disease in
Chicago. 1t is poor economy to waste any
time in dealing with the matter. It is better
to kill and pay for a few cattle now than to
have many de-

characteristic story of Prince Bismarck s
earlier diplomatic career is going the round
of the German papers. Bismarck was the
Federal minister at Frankfort, and he lodged
at the house of patrician there One day
the minister missed the bell by means of
which he had been accustomed to call his
servant when needing his services in the
study at the top of the house. He therefore
asked the landlord to furnish him with new
one The answer was refusal. Other lodg-
ers had been accustomed to buy such things
for themselves, and the landlord did not
know why an exception should be made in
the case of Herr Won Bismarck. The minister
said nothing, but probably thought much.
Next day the report of pistol rang through
the house. Frightened, the landlord made
search in all the rooms, and at last discov-
cred that the shot had been fired in the study
of Herr Won Bismarck, on whose table the
weapon still lay smoking. ''In heavens
name, what is the matter?" exclaimed the
alarmed landlord. ''Oh, nothing, don't trou-
BILE YOURSELF" was the cool reply. cit is only
signal by which my servant knows that 1
want him. It is a very harmless signal, too;
you will soon get used to it ~ Bismarck got
his bell.

Henry George said in one of his speeches
the other evening that his supporters have
the best political organization in the world,
SO well disciplined that, to use his own
words, ''upon the word of the leader it will
pour out its members like swarm of bees
with my ballots in their hands. They dare
not shirk their bounden duty, for if they do,
ever afterward they will be tabood from
workingmen's society" Not long ago one Of
Mr. Georges followers said something like
this, and Mr.. George, when his attention
was called to it, repudiated the sentiment.
An interesting suit is that brought by p.
E. Dye against the Virginia Midland rail
road company. Mr.. Dye, who sues for $40, 900
damages, purchased ticket for Allegany, a
station on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad.
He was carried beyond Cha1lottesvi lie, where
the agents of the company should have seen
that he changed cars, and, instead of back
ing the train, the conductor ordered him to
alight and walk back assuring him that there
were no distractions. Relying on the state
ment, he walked back and fell into an ash
pit, injuring his leg.
