THE GOLDEN LION DECISION.

THE GOLDEN LION DECISION. The decision of the Supreme court of Massachusetts in the case of the Golden Lion endowment order is not quite as broad as the first report made it appear. This order is now in the hands of re- ceiver. After describing the business done by the order (which, by the way, was by no means the worst of the endowment or ders. having used for expenses only about 36 per cent. of the amount it collected, or s100, ,000 in less than a year), the court goes on to say: 'Tt is not in our power to declare the business contrary to public policy and fraud upon an unprotected part of the community, since the legislature has authorized it, but it is we'll to understand with what kind of business we are deal ing. No one who does understand it, we think, would hesitate to agree that all legislative conditions must be complied with strictly" The opinion sustains the decree of Judge Allen, appointing re- ceiver for the corporation, on the ground that the order had failed to comply with
  employed paid agents to obtain new mem bers otherwise than in the preliminary organization of local branches. The opinion further states that, as the cor poration Is trustee holding funds in trust contributed by the policy holders, the policy holders are entitled "to stop where they are, and to refuse to pay fur ther assessments under their certificates without incurring 8 forfeiture, and to come into equity for distribution of the fund which they have created"
 It is now said that the endowment orders in Massachusetts are going into politics with the idea of electing legislators who will work for their interests. If the people of Massachusetts want that kind os thing, all there is to say is that they ought to have it.

for $165, 900. The queer thing is that the
 firm which got the contract was a bidder
 under the first specifications st $S07, 900.
 In the first case 1t wanted $42,0O0 more
 than its competitor and then took larger
 building at $1OO, 900 less.
 NJ. Georges Conanon, the inspector-gen- eral of the Phylloxera department in the French Ministry of Agriculture, says there is reason to believe that beforelong France will have regained her old position as a wine-growing country. Things have been steadily improving since the phylloxera first made its appearance, so that in two years and half there will be, at the pres ent rate of progress, two millions and a half of hectares of land under vine cultiva- tion, that is to say,s larger superficial area than at any previous period. France now produces one. sixth more wine than Italy, which is the next largest wine-growing country, one-third more than Spain, five times more than Hungary, which comes next, and ten times more than Austria or Portugal, but consumes SO much herself that for every bottle of fine wine exported more than one bottle of inferior wine is imported, chiefly from Spain.
 Professor F. H. Snow, of Kansas, had a bright idea when he thought of inoculating healthy chinch bugs with the fungus from diseased ones, by mixing up together the dead bugs and the live ones He experi- mented in his laboratory with such sue cess as led him to believe that here was @ method for the exterminstion of this scourge. He announced his conclusion. Some laughed at it, others, and among them some live farmers, believed it might be feasible. In the spring of 1891, just as the chinch beast began its rsvages, nearly 2,0O0 farmers, chiefly in Kansas, distributed in their wheat fields diseased chinch bugs. The report is that in 70 per cent. of these cages the result was successful. Professor Snow now feels sure that he has found how to destroy the pest of the farmers. He con siders that already, by last years opera tions, nearly s2O0, 900 has been saved to the farmers who applied the remedy.

CAPITAL AND CYCLE BUSINESS
Moneyed Men Less Anxious 10 Rush Into It.
 

Into It.
 From the wheell
 The tidal wave rush of capital into the cycle trade seems to have receded; yes. al- most entirely retired. In November last the plausible inventor and the glib cyclist be- gan to walk abroad, and the corpulent cap itslist and the sanguine investor were ire quently met and filled with golden visions studded with the amethyst and pearl, and induced to part with some hard cash. From November to March 6 very large number of new companies were organized, ranging in capitalization from s250, 900 to $1 ,000, 900. One inventor who has already filled graveyard with ruined capitalists, the victims of his periodic billion-dollared ucinations-succeeded in organizing . million-dollsr company with Sl00 paid in under the laws of Maine Benefcisnt lawsl Good old Pine Tree state, In the mad rush, and the class of cycling genius and capital, many of our solid little $l0,- 900, $25, 900, $50, 900 and $100, 900 con- cerns were quite obscured; yee, and even some of our 1000, 900 corporations did not cut much of q figure, and the least thoughtful had visions of Chicago, Hart ford, Chicopee Falls and other making csn- ters laid in waste and ruin.
 But the tide has receded. The capitalist is perhaps wiser, the inventor is undoubt- edly richer; and at any rate your counsel ors-at-law and your state exoheQuers have profited. We are glad that this paroxysm has come to the trade and been shaken of. It will be 6 valuable lesson. Eoneyed men will learn that the cycle trade is c most to make good bicycle 1t is di6icultl the, and to market 1t is e special study. They have been led to fancy that the pronts ars great; and they are to those who succeed But success is not easy. From the taIkeo talkee capital solicitor, cycle making is ., easy as grinding cuffee.

THE CLOCK WOULD TALK.
And it Almost Broke up the CIers man's Wedding Prayer.
 N.ur ~n-a-

And it Almost Broke Up the Clergy
 man's Wedding Prayer.
 From the New York Timesl
 Something unexpected happened day be- fore yesterday in East Twenty eighth street, around the corner from Madison avenue. There was a quiet psrlor we'd ding at the house of physicians well, known doctor, by the way-snd about 20 friends were present to witness the cere- mony. The bride was the physician's 1s- year-old daughter, and the groom was the son of Brooklyn brewer.
 There was to be a ahoneymoont trip after the marriage, and tbe mother of the bride, with true maternal foresight, had put French travelling clock in her daughters pocket It was little bit of clock. Somehow it got wound up wrong. As the couple stood up with the minister under the floral bell, a hush fell on the small assemblage, and the hush deepened as they knelt on a vel vet cushion while the preacher prayed.
 70 Lord, said the preacher, '.let thy blessing rest on this"
 Br-r-r-r! plinkl plinkl burst out the measly little alarm clock in a tone of awful distinctness.
 The venerable preacher opened one eye querulously, but quickly closed it again as he saw the groom's father scowling at him over his spectacles from the corner of the room.
 70 Lord" said the preacher, beginning again, "let thy"
 Br-r-r-rl plinki plinkl plinkI came out from the depths of the brides pocket.
 70 Lord," said the preaher. in & voice of desperate cslmnsss, opening both eyes and closing them again like flash, "let thy bless"
 Br-r-r-r!plink! blink! pink! plinki blink! pink!
 The minister stopped. The bride, whose face was very red, and who had be-n try ing in vain with her left hand to choke of the clock or shake it into submission, snatched it from her pocket and passed it to the groom, who handed it to his best man, who handed it to the brewers wife, who glared at it and handed it to her hus- band. wno went out into the hall, actually shaking his fist at it as he went.
 The minister began his prayer once more, and as he said 70 Lord" for the fourth time there was loud bang out in the back yard, which indicated that the alarm clock had struck the fence with terrific force.

friends tried to stop us, but we were wild and would listen to nothing. Frank threw first and called 'tails.' It came sheAds. ' It made me shiver. Then threw shesds' and he called tails and we were even. I don't know how felt as he picked up the dollsr, and looked at those Qlitteripc gems, for don't know anything clearly, though had e vague idea that somebody ' would be ruined for ever on the next throw. Frank tossed the dollar to the ceiling and called 'heads' It struck the floor and rolled over towards the register. All four of us made e rush for 1t, and Frank fell beadlong. The dollar had dropped through the grating and WAS ly- ing on the closed shutters of the register just below.
 "'Get match almost shrieked.
 'I stepped back and my foot struck Frank. He did not move. I bent down and shook him. He was still. tried to cry out, but could not. The other two men caught hold of him then and turned him over. His face was blue and the blood was gushing from his mouth. He had died in an instant The three were sober men in 6 second, and at once alarmed the landlord and sent for a physician. but he might as well not have come. He told us death had been instantaneous. I put my diamonds back into my pockets and took care of Franks; and the balance of the stakes divided, taking what I had put up and setting his aside, and the next morning We started home with poor Franks body"
 'How about the dollar in the registerf" asked the listener. "Who wonF" s--
 "Oh," eaid the old drummer with e start, 'T almost forgot that part of it. never thought of that dollar till just be- fore we left, and going back ished it ont and put it in my pocket, and this is it. It was 'heads.'"
 "No wonder you don't gamble any more," exclaimed the listener with a sigh of relief. 'Let's go and take drink as forgetter.
 And don't drink any more, either,n said the old drummer oufetly.

Into each life some sun must shine, but it will probably rain again soon.
 Honest industry is sometimes ftly re- warded. It is related that Lottie Collins, the London concert hall divinity, receives $50 day at the Gaiety theater for her Ta- ra-ra Boom-de-ay dance.
 Governor Flower says that his sole de- sire is to go out of office with as good 8 record and reputation as he had when he took office. In order to do this he will have to make decided gain.
