THE WIDOW WILL GET THE SIC, 900
A Decision Of Interest to Those Inter
ested in Mutual Benefit Insurance.


PORT JERv1s, Nov. 4.-When James
SHAY, formerly a merchant here, died at
Canandaigua in 1886, he held policy
of insurance on his life for 0,00O,
written by the National Benefit Society
of 1S7 Broadway, New York, a company
dong business on the co operative or
assessment plan. He had been a mem.
Der of the society in good standing for
two wears, paying assessments and dues
promptly, but finally permitted an as
sessment of which he had due notice to
mature unpaid, thereby, under his con-
tract of insurance, forfeicing his claim
upon the society.
1t is usual, however, for companies of
this character, when a member is ''ln
lapse" as it is termed, to send him a
second notice, stating that if he will pay
the overdue assessment within thirty
DAYS after the default, he will be rein
stated in full membership in the com
panv, hut with the strict provISo that
the company shall not be liable to the
delinquent or to any beneficiary named
in the policy for any claim of benefits
that may have accrued while he Was IN
lapse.
SHAY received second notice and
paid up arrears under it within the
thirty days specified, but not until after
he had been taken sick with malady
that proved fatal. Tho policy was writ
ten for the benefit of Mrs. Shay, but
when the widow asked payment the
society declined to respond. There
upon the widow brought suit to recover,
her leading counsel being cx Senator
EIbridge G. Lapham.
The case came on for trial at the On
tario County Circuit in November last
before Justice F. A. Macomoer and a
jury. The plaintiffs counsel argued
that the effect of the thirty days notice
was TO extend the period OF insurance
for that length of time without regard
to the dclinquent's state Of health, and
that if payment of arrears was made
within the specified time it would bind
the society, even if made by the bene-
ficiary after the delinquent's death.
The society's counsel, on the other hand,
maintained that the delinquent could
only obtain reinstatement under the
original conditions of membership as
regards health, and that the payment
of arrears by the delinquent under a
knowledge of tile precarious and excep-
tional character OF the risk he was i'm
posing on the society was a TRANSACTION
taiuted by fraud, which invalidated the
policy.
The court held that the society, by
issuing the thirty days notice, and
accepting payment of arrears, continued
the policy in full force for the period
fixed, and directed the jury to find a
verdict for the plaintiff for the $4,000
claimed. and interest and costs. An
appeal from this ruling was taken to
the general term of the Fifth Judicial
Department, which tribunal has now
handed down a decision affirming the
judgment of the lower court.

THE NOVEMBER GALES.
A SUMMING UP OF THE RESULTS OF
TUESDAYS CONTESTS.
How the Elections Are Regarded in Ad-
ministration Circles-Eforts to Explain
the Unexpected Republican Defeats By
Everything But the Real Reasons.
(From tie Philadelphia Tmes.)

The adverse winds that so often chill
a new administration have blown this
year with unexpected violence. Penn
sylyania is about the only Republican
State that stands unmoved, and even
here it is to the Democratic failure IN
Philadelphia more than to the votes OF
the Counties that the Republican major
ity is mainly due.
Ohio has gone Democratic, electlng
Campbell Governor over Foraker by some
5000 majority The Democrats have ap-
parently elected their whole State ticket,
as we'll as majority in each branch OF
the Legislature, thus securing the United
States Senatorship.
Even more surprising is the result IN
Iowa, where a Democratic Governor IS
elected for the first time since the Re
publican party was organized. Ihe ne
publicans retain the Legislature, having
districted the State for that purpose, but
the popular verdict is emphatic.
Mahone's defeat in Virginia is over
whelming. The majority for Mckinney
is at least 35, 900 and the Democrats will
have three -fourths of the House of Rep
rentatives and two-thirds OF the Senate.
In Maryland the Republicans made
some slight gains, but the Legislature Is
still strongly Democratic.
In the East there have been no such
startling changes as in the West, but
the gains are all on the Democratic side.
Albeit is elected Governor Of New Jer-
sey by at least -, 900 majority, and the
Democrats have safe majority in the
Legislature. New York gives some
$4,000 plurality to the Democratic State
ticket, though the Democratic gains are
not sufficient to change the Legislature.
Massachusetts,, on the other hand, elects
the Republican candidate, Bracket,
Governor over Russell by less than
1900, against $4,000 for Governor
Ames last year.
Such is very brief summary OF the
November elections. The record is not
hattering to the administration. But
fortunately the warning has come early
and there IS time to profit by it.

HOW TO AVOID WRINKLES.
Repress Your Emotions, Smile Pleas
antly and They Will Not Come.

You realize that wrinkle is coming,
says a writer in the Philadelphia Times.
You don't understand it, and you like it
less. How did it get there2 Like tie
rest of your sisters, you are Of a nerr-
Gus temperament, and even when you
are not speaking you are moving your
mouth.
Nothing SO entirely tends to the form
alton of wrinkles as a continual biting
of the under lip, a moistening of the
lips with the tongue or drawing the
lip up at the sides which causes an ugly,
super,illouS look, and which is the best
friend for the cultivation of wrinkles.
Learn the art of repose as far as your
face is concerned. You can look intelli-
gently at things, and all the expression
desired may be in your eyes, but that IS
no reason why any other part of your
face need move
Laughing and crying alike are said to
cause wrinkles, while pleasant smile
never will. and the moral of this would
seem to be that its wisest to repress
ones feelings, or, as the darkey nam;
mics have always taught, that cloud
laugh bespeahs a vulgar mind" Avoid,
ing this, YOU are stamped well-bred, and
the wrinkles do not come.

DEATH IN THE BLIZZARD
A SNOW STORM AND FREEZING
WEATHER IN NEW MEXICO.
Thousands of Cattle and Sheep Perish On
the Plains-A Number Of Cowboys Fro
zen to Death-Others Suffer Terrible
Hardships and Privations-Passenger
Trains Snow-Bound.

DENVER, Col, Nov. s.-The Repu5H-
cans special from Dayton, n. NJ, says:
Unless the snow storm which has been
raging Tor eight days comes to an end
soon, next summer will show the coun-
try covered with dead bodies
of animals as thickly as was the
old Santa Fe trail in the sixties. The
depth OF the snow is now not less than
twenty six inches on level, and in
mauv places it has drifted seven feet
high. When the storm struck this Sec
ton seven large herds of cattie, number
ING from 400 10 1000, were being held
near this place, awaiting shipment to
Eastern markets. The rain of a week
ago was followed Thursday morning by
blizzards of snow and Sleet which sent the
helds iu Southerly direction In vain
did the already halt frozen cowboys try
to check the march Of the herds, but on
they went, through the eincreasing storm,
until, finding it utterly impossible to
hold the cattle, the cowboys rode aside
and let them pass, and when nearly dead
rode the exhausted horses into canyons
or partially sheltered places, where they
passed many hours of misery, without
food or fire.
Two cowboys drifted into a canyon,
where they found cedar tree with a
rats nest in it. They managed to light
4 fire with this. During The second
night one of their horses died from
cold, and, having nothing to eat. the
men cut pieces of flesh from the dead
animal, which they warmed and ate
without salt After being here over
sixty hours, they started out, and after
much suffering and hardships from their
weakened condition, managed to reach
a ranch thirty miles away, where they
were cared for.
Five cowmen are known to be frozen
to death. Two Mexican sheep herdcrs
have been found frozen to death. Two
men coming in this morning report
drifts in some places seven and eight
feet high, in which there are hundreds
of dead stock, many with horns and
heads above the snow. In one drift
thirteen we're counted, and in another
ten. Some of these were alive, but un-
able to move from their frigid prison.
Herds of sheep are completely wiped
out of existence, and the range for
thirty miles from town is covered with
dead carcasses. 1t is estimated that
i 90. 900 sheep have perished in this part
of the territory. The hay supply is
nearly exhausted, and to-day $500 per
ton was offered by stockmen.
At. Texline, ten miles below Clayton,
! two passenger trains have been snow
bound for a week. Provisions are run
ming out and passengers are compelled
to venture out in the storm AID kill
cattle, quarters of which are taken into
the cars and roasted for food. 1t is
thought a snow plow will reach the i'm
prisoned trains tomorrow and release
Them, and that the road will be opened
in day or two
The storm is by far the worst ever
known in New Mexico, and the exact
loss of life and property cannot at pres
cnt be estimated.

Deprived Of His Pound Of Flesh.

There was an interesting scene in Judge
Tuthill's Court in Chicago a few days
ago. Asburn Lazarus, an unfortunate
man who, with wife and seven hungry
children, had been sent to prison by a
magistrate for his inability to pay a
butchers bill of $36. Lazarus sought re-
lief by habeas corpus proceedings before
Judge Tuthill and was promptly released
The Judge was very severe on the a.
torney who attempted to prevent the
luckless debtor from gaining his free
dom. Addressing that attorney Judge
Tuthill said: 81 don't want to hear a
word from you, sir. Your clients ought
TO be proceeded against criminally as
well as civilly. This is an outrage, and
the process of courts cannot be used for
any such purpose The attorney hung
his head abashed as the debtor. who had
previously declared to the Judge that
the earthly possessions of himself and
family consisted of the clothes they Wore
on thci" backs, left the court, accom-
panied by his weeping wife and five of
his seven children.

YOUNG MAN IN PETTIcoATs
he Was Preaching Mormonisn While
Masquerading as Woman.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. "a party
of Mormon elders created considerable
excitement in the Northern part OF
Fayette County last week, and narrowly
escaped lynchlng. a young woman was
going through the County preaching
Mormonism and made q number of con-
verts. She was accompanied by two
elders, who kept in the background and
had little to say. A few days ago it was
discovered that the eloquent preacher
who was reaching Mormanism vas not
a woman but young MIN disguised IN
female attire. This discovery caused
great excitement among the country
people. especially those who had enter
tanned the disguised preacher at their
homes.
On Tuesday night committee of clti-
zens waited on the three elders, and
some wanted to lynch them on the spot;
others proposed a coat of tar and
feathers. The elders were badly fright
ened. Cool heads ruled the angry mob,
and the elders were allowed to depart
on their promise to leave the County
within twcnty-four hours, never to re-
turn. They were warned that they
would meet with summary punishment
if they visited that locality again.
