THE NOTES STAND GOOD.
An Insurance Company Responsible
for the Acts of Its Agent.

A suit was decided by the Supreme Court
yesterday which bears directly upon the liza
bility of insurance companies.
Mrs. Mary V. Griffith sued the New York
Life Insurance Company 10 recover $50. 900 on
two policies OF insurance upon the life OF her
husband, E. j. Griffith. The policies were of
the value of $4,000.
When Griffith died the insurance company
refused TO pay, on the ground that Griffith had
not paid The required premiums In cash, but in
pTomissory notes, which the company's agent
bao no authority to accept. Oreoyer, IL was
shown that Griffith bad himself Cancelled one Of
The policies, pleading Inability TO meet the note
given for the premium.
The consequence was that Mrs. Griffith was
beaten In the lower court, and was forced 10
take an appeal. Yesterday the Supreme Court
reversed tile decision of the lower court regard
Ing the uncanceed policy, which ii allowed. Ii
was held that the insurance company was
bound by The acts OF its appointed agent. and

Under the head of ''Salmon Nests,' a
down-riyer exchange says:
"It is estimated that of the salmon
that go up stream to spawn only 3 per
cent get back to salt water. Nature
seems to have exhausted itself in spawn
ing, and though so weak that they can
scarcely wiggle, they still remain with
the head upstream, and if they survive
are carried on the current to salt water.
When seeking a place to spawn the
female makes an oblong nest in the
gravel about II or IA inches long and
there deposits the spawn. Both male
and the female stand guard over the
spawn until Matched, fighting off salmon
trout, suckers and other fish that prey
upon the eggs.

Lieut.. Col. R. M. Schofield of Gen.
Schofeld's staff, made a very pleasant
call on THE CHRONICLE office, while we
were getting out our weekly last even
ing. General Schofield and staff and
Hon. Robt. T. Lincoln are guests of Geo.
M. Pullman, esq.,, of Pullman car fame.
The party consists of George M. Pullman,
Major General Schofield, of Washington,
commanding the army of United States !;
Robert T. Lincoln, of Chicago, son of
Abraham Lincoln, and who served in
President Garield's cabinet as secretary
of war, and in President Harrison's ad-
ministration as the minister to England !;
J. W. Doane. president of the Merchants
Loan & Trust company, of Chicago; p.
L. Yoe, vice-president, and John de
Doven ,Idirector of the same institution !;
Henry Elliot, of Brooklyn, N. Y, one of
the largest shoe manufacturers in the
country; Lieutenant R. M. Schofield,
son of Major Schofeld and an
aide on his staff; and Edgar J. Mayer,
private secretary to Mr.. Pullman.
They were highly favored with beau
tiful weather during the entire trip west
until they reached Portland, when, for
disagreeables they had it in its intensity.
On coming east of the mountains they
were, comparatively speaking, under
California skies and in an exhilarating
atmosphere. Mr.. Pullman expressed
himself as quite taken with this country,
and believes it has great possibilities in
store for it. The other members of the
party were delighted with their stop
over at the gate of the finland Empire"
General Schofeld is well preserved
parsonage, and one to see him, would
hardly think he was near his retirement,
which will take place one year from
next September.
Robert 7. Lincoln is an older-looking
man than many here imagined him to be.
He bears scarcely resemblance to his
father, having the regular features of
the Todds instead. Lincoln was secre-
tary of war under both Garfield and
Arthur and recently minister to
England.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.
How Wool Men Can Get More for Their
Clip.

Mr.. D. ]. Cooper today received the
following letter from Keyser, Fisler &
Co.. commission wool merchants of
Philadelphia, which shows growers how
they often lose cent pound on their
wool clip.
DEAR SIR-The preparation of wool
for market is of the utmost Importance !;
one OF the greatest complaints against
territory woods is the paint that remains
on them from marking; this alone often
loses the grower a cent pound or more.
In discussing the subject today the sug-
gestion comes to us that the shearer, be-
fore commencing on the sheep, could
clip the top of the staple jnst where the
paint is; it would take but minute or
SO and would appreciate the value OF
wool at least cent a pound. We know
it will pay you to give this your consider
alton, and we would be pleased to hear
from you as to the practicability of our
suggestion. Yours truly,
kEYsER, FIsLER & Co.

THE SEQUEL.
Morrison Released and Mrs. Rose Brown
Leaves for Home.

DR.. Morrison, the deceiver of Mrs.
Rose Brown, was released before Justice
Schultz court this morning, the private
prosecutor failing to appear and he could
no longer be held.
1t is learned that Mr.. Brown, of Boise,
made strenuous efforts to have him
brought there for trial, but the governor
of that state refused to grant requisition
papers, with the presumable object of
saving his state expense, and saddling it
on to Oregon, where trial must be had
If anywhere. Morrison is therefore free
to seek pastures new and ruin some
other family. Mr.. Bolinger said yester-
day the Browns were the fourth family
he had broken up by his damnable
practices.
Mrs. Brown and her two little children,
accompanied by her brother-in-law,
Robert Grant, who came from Pendleton
Thursday evening, and Mr.. Bolinger,
the private detective, left last night for
home in Boise. The injured husband
on returning from Silver City, was
frantic, and upon hearing of Morrison's
arrest in The Dalles, armed himself with
deadly weapon, and was preparing to
leave post haste for this city. The
neighbors, realizing his murderous in
tent, restrained him and in some way
prevented his coming. Then he tele-
graphed his wife to return at once and
bade her telegraph for any needed
amount of money.
Mrs. Brown was undoubtedly under
hypnotic influence, and said before her
departure that she is powerless to act
for herself in Morrison's presence.
Away from him she detests him.
1t is unfortunate for the benefit of
society that Morrison was released in
stead of punished by law, but our officers
here were powerless under the circum-
stances. He will hardly dare to present
himself in Boise City again, as his life
would not be safe.

where the plant has more rapid growth.

HOW HAROLD'S LOVE WAS
TESTED.

She was as fair as the day and as
stately as the night. and beautiful be-
yond the dream of any poet.
He was strong and brave as any
kni y that ever jousted OH the plain.
superb ami handsome as the sculptured
gods of Greece.
1t happened by propitious fate. that
sometimes brings the brave and beauti-
full together. that these two mortal
paragonS each had fashionable suite
of rooms i'll the most fashionable hotel
of the most fashionable city OF all the
lani.
1t is really not much use to finish this
story. The reader is Shrewd, and knows
t'.ing or two. and has read novels be-
fore, and knows already how this thing
is coming out.
But suffice it to say they met, and
they loved with all unutterable and in
finite devotion.
Darling" said he-not at once. of
course, he was no gump like that-but 1
like to get at the denOuement of story
at the beginning and get it out OF the
way. Darling" said he when the
proper time had arrived, 81 love you
beyond expression, with a devotion that
can never end. Be mine, oh ! say that
you will be mine!"
A look of ineffable sadness, of infinite
grief came into her her azure eyes.
"Herold," she said, you know not
what you ask. There is a dread secret
in my life, which. if you knew. you
would spurn HE from thee like deadly
thing"
"rell me the secret. darling. "said he,
land l swear by my honorl will love
thee all the more"
Harold, my own, 1 will be frank and
tell thee. Ill owe three months
bill for my suite of ROOMS in this hotel"
He looked into her lustrous eyes with
all expression of increased endearment.
"SybIl, my darling" said he, $50 do
l. We owe the sOrdid landlord two
large bills. Let us wed and make the
two bills one"
20 my hearts lover' she cried. SO
my hero, my finaacier!" and she threw
herself into his arms.
Thus two loving hearts and two grow
ing hotel bills were beautifully merged
into one.
