A SINGULAR CASE.

Peculiar Law-PoInts Involved I'm an Acct
dent Insurance Suit.
Judge Dyer has rendered his de-
cision in the singular case Of
Loretta M, Crandall against the Acct
dent Insurance Company of North
America, which was heard by him sev.
eral weeks ago. This was suit to
recover ten thousand dollars accident
policy on the life of the plaintiffs hus-
band. Edward M. Crandall, who COM
mitted suicide in June, 1884, by hang
ing himself. He had insured himself
for ten thousand dollars against in
iuries, effected by external, accidental
or violent means, but the policy was
not to apply if death was caused who'll
ly or in part by bodily infirmities or
disease of the insured, and suicide was
also excepted expressly. The case was
tried before a jury, and they returned
special verdict finding that Crandall
was insured, that he committed sui-
eide, and that he was insane when no
killed himself. The main question,
however, was one of law, as to
whether on such facts the company
was liable.
The Judge rendered very able and
exhaustive opinion, holding that the
company was liable. He said that
there were two questions: First
Whether the fact that the insured was
insane when he committed suicide
may have been rendered death
caused by the bodily injuries, effected
through accidental means and took the
case out of the special exemption in the
policy; and second, whether the death
was due wholly or Ia part ''to bodily
infirmities," so as to exempt the com.
pany. AS to the question Of the insan-
ity, it was clearly proved. Crandall
was shown to be slccplcss, unduly OK.

must be held, therefore, that Crandall's
death resulted from bodily injuries cf-
fcctcd through external, accidental and
violent means within the meaning of
the policy in suit.
The second question, and one equally
important, wns whether death was
caused "by bodily infirmitics of dis
case" of the insured, against which the
company had specially protected it.

said that Crandall would not have
committed suicide IL he had not been
insane, and that insanity was n pro-
melting cause of death, yet on the
strength of numerous authorities in
similar eases, it must be held that tho
act of self-destruction must be regarded
within the meaning of the policy as
the true and proximatc cause of death
and that the widow is entitled to re-
cover the amount of the policy with in

Never begin to read, write or sew for

hess to bright light.
Never read by twilight, moonlight
or on cloudy days.
Never read nor sew directly in front

1t is best to let the light fall from

Never sleep so that, on awakening

DO not use the eyesight by light SO

The moment you are instinctively

If the eyelids are glued together on
