The other day the United States SUI
preme court rendered an insurance de-
cision which attracted wide attention,
as 1t dealt, for the first time, with the
important question Of suicide as affect
ing the obligation Of life insurance
companies The court held that where
policy contains no provision regard
ing suicide, no liability attaches in
case the insured has resorted to self
destruction. BY way of dictum the
court added that even distinct agree
ment TO pay in the event Of suicide
would not be enforced by the courts,
such contracts being clearly against
public policy.

THE population Of Spain is 1855, $3.50

Adopted the Classified Plan.

By far the most interesting question
before the A. o. U. w. grand lodge at
Wichita was the proposed change from
the "level" to the classified" plan Of
assessment After O warm contest, in
to which much bitterness entered, the
classified" plan was adopted, receiv-
ing but three more votes than neces-
sary. w. NJ. Wallace, j. II. Crider and
]. NJ. Miller were elected grand repre-
sentatives. DIR. J. NJ. Minnick, OF
Wichita, was chosen grand medical
examiner. Pittsburg was selected for
the 1899 meeting place. Heretofore,
every member, young and old, has
paid 81 for each assessment. Last year
there were II assessments, which,
with "a dues, made $4,000 insurance
cost SCI. The classified plan includes
the following schedule OF assessments.
1t is estimated by actuaries that eight

 Such places have risen to great inn portance since the Endicott Board made it's report thirteen years ago. and the chief of engineers has recognized the necessity of making further provi- sion for their defense, but has been un- able to do anything in this direction on account of the smallness of the annual appropriations for the use of the En- gineers' department.

he was not sure of his position. He had about made up his mind to put about and take his ship around the Horn when she struck on the reef and all was over."
 The Mataura was a two-deck steel screw steamer of 5794 tons gross burden. She was built in 1896 and was 421 feet long, fifty-four feet six inches in breadth and twenty-nine feet one inch deep. The en- zines were triple expansion and she was fitted up with electric lights and supplied with refrigerating machinery on the lat est principle.
 The Mataura's cargo consisted princi- paIly of 16, ,535 bales of wool, valued at 1,250, 900. Besides this she had 283O pack ages of cheese, 1874 packages of butter, 0,50S carcasses of mutton, 315 carcasses of lamb, 2733 cases of rabbits, 300 cases of meats and various other consignments, all of which were valued at another mill lion of dollars.
 The little steamer New England, which brought the particulars of the above two wrecks, is a brand new vessel which has come out here to engage in the halibut fishing. She is commanded by Captain J. w. Small, the chief engineer is R. S. Dodge, the first assistant engineer Charles Bassett, and she carries a crew of eighteen all told. She is very com fortably fitted, and everybody on board lives in one large cabin, the captains and officers rooms opening out into the main room. They all seem to be like one fam fly, and certainly a joller set of men never came through the Golden Gate. They only signed for this voyage, and the majority of the boys will leave the steamer when she reaches Puget Sound, and will strike out for the Klondike. The New England is a very pretty little ves- sel, and can reel off her thirteen knots an hour when in trim. She will coal here, after which she will proceed to Vancou- yer. B. C., where she will be laid up until the season for halibut fishing opens
