AN INTERESTING TEST CASE.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Dec. special to the Times Union from Palatka, Fla, says: An important case is now on trial before the criminal court. It is that of G. Toper Bailey vs. Devereaux X Garrison, who were arrested aud held for soliciting insurance, acting as agents and doing a general fire insurance business for the Lloyds of New York. This agency has been ad vertising the Lloyds and are writing large lines, not only in this city, but in different parts of the state. They claim to represent large underwriters in the city of New York. They claim to give the New York standard form of policy and the names of the individuals indemni- lying the insured. It will probably be a test case as to the restrictions placed upon the Lloyds' system under the Florida statutes, and will be watched with great interest by insurance men all over the country.

DISCARDED SILK HATS.
New Lease of Life For Them Even

New Lease of Life For Them Even
 Though Out of Style.
 What is the doom of tho discarded silk hat which is dimpled and framed after the fashion of year ago and is therefore an offense in the sight of the fastidious owner? It may go any one of several ways. It may be groomed and ironed afresh and then adorn the occiput of a herdic driver. It may be torn to pieces and the component silk and leather enter into the construction of a fresh article of headgear and pursue a new lease of exist ence in a humble sphere. It may sink so low as to decorate scarecrow, or it may find last refuge and master in the per son of a member of the Coxeyite battalion
 The average life of silk hat is about a year, so at least estimated venerable re- pairer and cleaner. In nine cases out of ten when a man orders 0 new tile he leaves tho old one with the dealer, receiv- ing 50 cent rebate on the same, be it's condition good, bad or indifferent The dealer accepts the old hat merely to ac- commodate the customer and not because he wants it. He generally sells it again at uniform price of 50 cents to one of the professional hat ironers and revivers.

 But more often the hat is too far gone for this purpose. If the silk is not too much worn, it is used in tho making of children's hats, those of the shape of a truncated cone. The top is new silk. It also goes into the chapeaux worn by uni formed organizations like the Knights of Pythias and Patriarchs Militant. Tho old silk is often used to line the chapeau where it is folded in and will last 80 years after previously doing duty on fashiona- ble chimney pot.
 As last resource the poor old hat is sold to make sport in a procession of an- tique5 and horribles. After that the tramp, the ash barrel or tho garbage scow claims it for its own.-American Halter.

STRENGTHENING THE BOOKS

OF THE SHOE AND LEATHER BANK IS WHAT
 SHELBY IS NOW DOING.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.--James L. Bishop, counsel for the Shoe aud Leather bank, with a bookkeeper of that institution, has daily visited the Ludlow street jail of late, and, with the assistance of Samuel C.. Seeley has been making minute exam ination of the banks books, with view to obtaining evidence on which to recover from the Baker estate some of the stolen money.
 Yesterday was spent in the examination of great pile of books. Today again the work continued. Seeey, in addition to helping the bank straighten out these tangled accounts by pointing out the false entries, has personally made deposition, , giving the details of his own crime and of the complicity of Baker.
 remarkable fact developed yesterday in the work on the accounts. It was that during the last three years Frederick Baker deposited not cent with the bank although he drew out thousands. The sum total of all his deposits since the steal ing began, it has been ascertained, does not exceed 5000.
 MT. Bishop said that Seeley is verifying transcripts of the account taken from sixteen of the eighteen large ledgers and has shown which entries were correct and which are not.

Anniversary of the Southeast Mis-

Thursday. The city was in gala
attire and there were fully 5000
people in the city. Excursion
trains ran from the north and from
the south, and many lodges and
people came in from the country,
by land.
The grand parade at l o'clock
showed perhaps a thousand Odd
Fellows in line. 1t was very
pretty display. Music was furnish.
ed by four bands.
A big tent was stretched in the
southern part of the town, seating
about $500 people. The afternoon
ceremonies consisted of the usual
anniversary ceremonies, the ad-
4 dresses of welcome and response,
and an address by 7. P. Rixey,
grand lecturer. At night the citi-
zens gave an entertainment at the
tabernacle in which Scully, the
drummer wit, gave telling exhi-
bition of his dramatic and humor
powers. The assembly was then
addressed by Hon. H. N. Phillips,
and Mrs. DeBolt, lecturer for the
Daughters of Rebecca.
The Accommodations offered by
Fredericktown were much superior
to that enjoyed at DeSoto last
wear. The exercises of the order
while more interesting to visitors
did not furnish as much entertain
ment to members as that at DeSoto.
The hotel Accommodations were
good. The people were hospitable
and entertaining, and gave every
evidence Of the genuineness Of the
welcome extended to tho people.
