that in 1885 Hon. Thomas w. Mason was
in the Senate and Hon. Lee 5. Overman

these gentlemen made the leading speeches

A Home Institution.

In a time of general business depression
like this it Is particularly gratifying TO
all to see our home institutions, not only
abreast, but ahead of like enterprises
elsewhere.
The remarkable growth of the Life In
surance Company of Virginia, as shown
by its printed statement elsewhere IN
The Times, is worthy of special note, and
viii give an instructive lesson in good
management for this company shows a
strong advance during the past year,
while similar institutions elsewhere, with
few exceptions, snow falling OF OF
business and loss over operating ex-
penseS.
1t shows what can be done by Rich
mond institutions when energy is directed
by the right sort of ability, and such eX-
amples should not only arouse the pride
of the city, but bring TO the institution
a valuable support.
1t is n notable fact that the company
Is rapidly approaching "a million dollars
OF assets, and has gross income of
over six hundred thousand dollars 1t
has an insurance In force OF over twelve
million. six hundred and thirty thousand
dollars. IL made the magn hcent increase
of over two million. eight hundred and
eleven thous and dollars. and this, TOO, in
time OF general business depression.
The company has paid out TO policy hold
ers since its organization over one mil

Ask a o. I nee

Mr.. G.. Powell Hill, of this city has re-
ceived from Colorado a petition, begging
the people of irginia TO do what they can
towards helping the stricken people OF
that state. The petition sets forth the
condition Of the people In graphic IAN
guage, and shows how greatly In need are
the people, by reason Of very poor crops
for two successive years, followed by
destructive drought. The bare necessities
of life cannot be secured by hundreds or
worthy citizens with families, ana tuei Is
almost beyond the reach of the people.
The railroads and county have rendered
what assistance they could, and yet the
suffering i'm many cases Is piuable. Tine
DatItior Is signed by a committee of repu-
table citizens, including several county
officials. and is certified 10 by ministers OF
the gospel and others.
The petition comes from the drought
stricken plains of Colorado, and appeals
to the charity of the people TO whom ii il
addressed.

THOUSAND DOLLARS
THE AMOUNT WHICH THE Su-
PREME LODGE REFUSES TO
PAY PLAINTIFF.
The Defendant Denied All Liability
Paid by John l.. Dun.

Yesterday Mrs. Sallie L. Duff filed a
suit in the Torty-eighth district court
against the Supreme Lodge. Knights
of Columbia, with headquarters at
Topeka, Kan.
The Knights of Columbia organized
n lodge in Fort Worth few months
ago and has a large membership,
among which may be found many of
the best citizens of the city. The order
Itself is nearly six years old.
Mrs. Duff sues on a policy for $1,000.
Her husband, Jno. l.. Duff. well known
In Fort Worth, was the first member
of the local lodge to die, The case
promises to attract a good deal of at
tention, and the Gazette therefore
gives a full synopsis of Mrs. Duff's
petition.
The plaintiff sets forth that the
Knights of Columbia formed lodge
in Fort Worth on October 3, 1896, and
gave 1t charter, Her husband, Jno. l..
Duff. Joined the lodge october "a, 1895,
ON the following conditions, prescribed
by the lodge: That he should join the
lodge and pay all dues, amounting to
So so, ana should be examined by the
local physician Of the lodge to ascer-
tain his physical condition. In consld-
Grafton of the foregoing, If he died
Nlllt a. IltlIUtT III bpou NLutluluEt llle
defendant would pay the plaintiff the
gum OF $1,000.
The plaintiff declares that Jno. L.
Duff fully complied with all these re-
quirements, that on October 10, 1895. he
made application for membership,
paid all required dues, and applied for
the knight degree and a beneficiary
certificate emitting him to all the
rights, privileges and benefits of the
lodge, aud directing the insurance to
be paid TO his wife in the event of his
death.
1t is further stated by the plaintiff
that her husband was examined by the
local physician OF the lodge and re-
celyed from him n certificate saying
that he CDufD was physically sound,
which certificate was presented to the
lodge and nled as directed by the laws
OF the lodge. said Jno. l.. Dur paid all
fees. including the physicians fees and
the amount of the advance assessment,
amounting in all TO 81 60,
on October "a, 1895, said Jno. l..
Dun received the initiatory and knight
degrees, and did and paid all that was
necessary To make him a member in
good standing File died October 80.
The lodge had promised to deliver to
him the beneficiary certificate, but Mt
the time of his death 1t had not been
delivered.
The plaintiff AYERS further that II
was part OF the contract, and is so
contained in the laws OF the lodge,
that in case Of his death before
the delivery of the certificate never
theless the member should be entitled
to receive all the benefits.
1t II further stated that the defend
ant waived all proof Of death by re-
fusing to pay the insurance to the
plaintiff, and denied its liability.
Knowing of his death, the defendant
offered to refund the $3.50 paid in by
the deceased.
The plaintiff closes by saying that
the defendant still refuses to pay the
Insurance, though often requested to
do SO.
