DEWEY RECEPTION.
The Grand Army Will Not Take
Part in the Parade.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20-Unless the
plans of General Charles F. Roe, Chair
man of the Land Parade Committee
of the Dewey celebration are changed.
the G. A. r. organization will not DC
represented in the parade.
Joseph w. Kay, Department Com
mander of the New York G. A. r., to-
day sent letter to General Roe de-
clining the invitation for a number of
reasons. These are in brief that the
G. A. r. forces have been placed at the
end of the procession instead of the
head of the column; that General Roe
has taken no cognizance of Command
erin Chief Albert d. Shaw, and has
sent him no invitation to any of the
functions.
Chief among the reasons given by
General Roe in his final refusal to alter
the position assigned to the G. A. r..
was that the parade would be in every
sense military one, and that accord
ing to regulations such an unarmed
body of men as the G.. A. r. cannot
march before a body of men bearing
arms.
The G.. A. r. officials, however, claim
that the parade is in no sense mill
tary, but civic one.
General Roe estimates that there will
be $4,000 men in line.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Relating to Collecting of Assess
ments for Street improvements.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 20.-William
Eide. a street contractor. brought an
action in the Superior Court against
Joseph Cuneo and other property own
ers for the foreclosure of a lien against
their property on a street assessment.
In the lower court Eide received judg-
ment Final judgment was defeated
for the reason that the City Engineer
had never made an engineers certifi-
cate of the work.
It seems that the Superintendent had
filed t~e assessment. diagram, warrant
and what purported to be the engi-
neer's certificate. which had never been
made Notwithstanding that this was
not duly properly or legally recorded,
the contractor went on with the assess
ment.
The Supreme Court takes the position
that proceedings in street assessment
are purely statutory. When the con-
tractor found that there was an ir-
regularity in the record he should have
demanded his right. that the engineer S
certificate should be a part of the rec
ord. He went on and accepted such
documents as the Street Superintend-
ent delivered to him.
In failing to do so he lost his case.
The opinion. which is of no small i'm
portance, was written by Justice Har-
rison. and concurred in by Justices
Henshaw, Temple and Mcfarland. Chief
Justice Beatty and Justice Van Dyke
dissented. on the broad ground that
because the Street Superintendent fail
ed to perform his duty the contractor
should not be made to suffer the loss

GERMAN AGRICULTURISTS.
London Post: There are three groups
of agricultural educational establish
ments in Germany-high, middle and
lower schools. The first category ex-
tends back as far as 1906. They have
been largely developed in recent years.
Many of them are attached to univer-
stiles, as at Halle, Leipzig, Giessen
Konigsberg, Kiel and Breslau, and they
are all of them entirely dependent on
state support. They are intrusted with
the double task of fostering scientific
investigation and instructing their
scholars in the scientific principles of
agriculture The middle agricultural
schools are about thirty years old, and
are intended for the sons of fairly we'll
to-do peasants. A general education is
accorded to them, but special attention
is devoted to natural science and agri-
cultural subjects.
There are also a large number of
agricultural winter schools situated for
the most part in small towns The
scholars are the sons of peasants, who
in the summer work on the parental
farm. The teachers during the period
Of their scholastic inactivity wander
about from farm to farm, studying the
latest improvements in the district, and
distributing on solicitation scientific
advice to the farmers. The number
of these winter schools amounted at
the end of 1898 to 16S. The continue
tion school system applied to the pur-
poses of agriculture has been largely
adopted in Southern and Western Ger
many, and to a less extent in Eastern
Prussia.

Insured for Ten Millions.

A big insurance man told me recently

death would cost English, German,
French and American companies not
less than $10,00o,000.

paratively little of it is for the benefit
of his family; perhaps not more than
81, 100000. Some years ago large poll
cies We're taken out by his creditors as
security for money loaned. If he
should ever pay his debts they would,
of course, revert back to him, and
might be carried for the benefit of his
family, but his premiums, like the pre-
MUM on all of the royal families OF
Europe, are very high-much higher
than those paid by private individuals
for the same amount of insurance
"It is a curious fact" continued my
insurance friend, who spends a good
deal of his time in England, that S2.-
100000 or $3,000,00O of insurance, per-
haps more than that, has been placed
on the life of the Prince of Wales as
speculation by persons who do not
know him and have never had any re-
lations with him whatever. This would
not be possible under the insurance
laws of the United Staes, but it is al
lowed by some of the English COM
panies. Over there any man can Sc
cure policy ON the life of neighbor,
provided he can persuade the neighbor
to submit to a medical examination or
find a company which has recently had
him examined. Thus when the Prince
of Wales undergoes an examination FOR
insurance lots of spectators apply to
the same company for policies on his
life or get certified copies of the report
of the medical examiner and use them
with other companies. 1t is pure spec
ulation. They pay high premium, a
margin, so to speak, or, to put 1T in an
other way, they book wager with the
insurance companies that the Prince
will die before the total of their pre-
miums exceeds the amount of the pol
icy. Therefore, many persons would
be financially benefited if Albert Ed
ward should drop off suddenly one of
these fine days. The Prince is per-
fectly aware of this fact. He knows
very we'll what advantages have been
taken Of his situation, but I do not
suppose it makes any difference with
his habits. .''-Chicago Record.

MISSION ROCK.
The Government Takes Steps to
Gain Possession of the Property.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20.-The
Government has taken steps to secure
possession of Mission Rock, which has
been held by the California Dry Dock
Company since 1870.
To day United States District Attor-
ney Coombs filed an ejectment suit in
the Circuit Court against the dry dock
company to secure possession Of the
property, together with $250,0 dam
ages and $4,000 in rents.
Instructions were received sine time

ceedings to condemn the property.
The case will be hotly contested, the
defendants holding that the State pat
ent granted them in 1870 gives them a
valid title to the island.
