Ruling Thereon In n Case Before the
Supreme Court.
A case of interest to those connected
with mutual insurance associations
was disposed of to-day in the supreme
court. IN
The title Of the case was: Helen E.
Bridges, appellant, VS.. National Union,
respondent.
Justice Collins, in the reversal Of the
lower court, says:
'SThe date Of a notice served by mail
of an assessment in a mutual inSur-
ancee association, when the amount Of
the assessment is, by the rules Of the
association, to be paid within certain
number of days from the date Of the
notice. is not the date printed in the
notice ITSELF. but is the day on which
the notice is mailed, or is, or should be,
received by the member in due and reg
ular course Of MAIL and as to this we
do not decide. In such case, the print
ed date Of the notice was April 10, 1896,
and by the terms thereof the member
was notified that the time for pay
ment expires May 10, 1896 and fur
Their, that You will stand suspended if
not paid on Or before that date The
notice was mailed to the member April
20. and was, or should have been, re-
ceived by him on April 81. Under the
rules of the association, the member
had one month from the date Of the
notice of assessment within which to
pay. and, therefore, in this case. had
until May 20. Or until May u, 1896.
Held, that the notice was INSULT
cient and Invalid, and that forfeiture
Of the members rights under his GER
tifcate Of membership could not be
based thereon. And, in SO far as this
is in opposition to what was said in
Benedict VS.. Grand Lodge, 10 MINI,
All. the latter case is overruled''

Washington. Dec. 9.-The urgent de-
iciency bill to provide for the support
Of the military and naval establish
ments was passed by the house prac-
tically without opposition. A fear had
been expressed that the measure might
open up a prolonged debate upon the
conduct Of the war, but the Democrat
ic leaders decided that such a debate
would properly come later upon the
regular appropriation bills or upon the
bill for the reorganization of the army.
There was not a word Of criticism of
tue war during the debate The only
point upon which IN issue was raised
was as to whether the bill, providing
as it did, for the pay of volunteers I'M
til July 1, 1899, might not be construed
as a modification Of the law under
which the volunteers We're mustered
into service. Mr.. McRae of Arkansas
offered an amendment providing that
it should not be SO construed, and upon
it there was general debate as to the
advisability Of mastering the volun-
teers out before the regular army was
increased. Mr.. Cannon finally accept
ed the McRae amendment and removed
the only shadow Of opposition to the
bill. A number of amendments were
adopted upon the recommendation Of
the appropriation committee, which re-
ceived some supplemental estimates
after the bill was prepared The larg-
est Of these was an item Of So, 100000
