A PROPER DECISION.

Judge Clementson last week render
cd his decision in the case of Mrs.
Mary +. Mccoy against the North
favor of the plaintiff, for the sum of
$4,000. The case is peculiar one.
and presented an important and inter
esting question
This Insurance Company always un-
til in February 1899. issued policy
which made it liable in ease of the
suicide of the holder. At that time
MIR. Parkinson, the secretary Of the
company, mined to change its
contract in that respect, and without
authority from the board of directors,
he caused to be printed on the back of
the policies what purported TO be the
condition of the policy, that in case of
the suicide of the holder, the associa-
ton should not be liable, and further;
that the holder OF a certificate should
in no case be assessed to pay loss by
the suicide Of any other member
On the 18th day of April, 1882 MIR.
Mccoy insured in this association for
$4,000, taking = policy with this new
condition upon it. During Mr. Me-
Coy's life. two members of the aSsoci-
alton committed suicide, and he was
assessed TO pay the .osses. On the
Sth day of July. 1892 VIM. Mccoy
committed suicide. The charter OF
the association vests he power of de-
termining what the contract shall be,
in the board of directors. and gives
the secretary no control over that
matter.
Mrs. Mccoy, wife Of VIM Mccoy.
to whom the policy upon his life was
made payable, brought action against
the association to recover the amount
of the policy. The decision in favor
of Mrs. Mccoy IS has,sa upon the
ground that this condition was insert
ed into the contract by Mr. Parkinson
without any authority, and is no part
Of the contract. and upon the further
ground that II it ever was part Of
the contract, the association. by as
sessing the holder of this policy to pay
suicidal losses. became liable to the
plaintiff notwithstanding this condi-
ton
The decision is regarded by lawyers
as correct in principle; and by ali rs
being equitable and just. Darlington

A MONSTER PETITION.
Contains over 100000 Names of Foel
to Liquor aud Opium.

Contains over 6,O00,00O Names of Foes
to Liquor aud Opium.
CHICAGO, Feb. l3.-chicage has>jnst
sent tho champion petition of all his
tory to Grover Cleveland 1t took a
dozen large boxes to hold it, and
Mrs. Carse had it in charge. 1t
viii be formally presented to the
president in Convention music hall,
Washington. Friday evening of this
week. This record-breaking document
is the mammoth polygiote petition of
the Worlds Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union. 1t contains miles
of signatures, and If the written
names of all its verbal indorsers
were added it would be IS miles
long. Miss Frances f. Willard is
the woman who inspired it, and the
petition asks the rulers of all nations
to suppress the liquor and opium traf-
fic. Hitherto the largest petition ever
framed and the only one that APP
preached to this in the number of its
signatures was the famous petition of
the British chartists in 1s4i asking
for the repeal of the corn laws; that
had nearly 100000 Miss Willard and
her coworkers started out twelve years
ago to get 2, 100000 women's names to
their petition, and the history of the
years of work that have interviewed
compasses the whole world. The work
has now been practically accomplished.
and the great polyglot petition has at
last started on its travels to the court
of every ruler of the world-for this
document is to be carried around the
world in two special steamers fur
nished by Miss Willard and Lady
Henry Somerset. But this will not be
until 1896.
