CANNOT RECOVER.
Important Decision in Fraternal In
surance Case.

surance Case.
st. Louis, March 21.-In the United
States court Of appeals an opinion has
been handed down by Judge Thayer in
the case of the supreme council, Royal
Arcanum, vs. Anna j. Taylor, which
is remanded with instructions that the
plaintiff is not entitled to recover. The
decision will be of interest to fraternal
organizations and members who are in
sured against death in those organiza-
tiOns.
Anna J. Taylor is the widow of George
F. Taylor, a member of the Royal Ar
eanum at Denver, Colo, He was in
sured for SO 900 in 1891, and died in
November, 1900. Payment of the in
surance certificate was contested on the
ground that he had not paid the month
ly assessment of October, 1900 due on
the last day of that month, and there
fore suspended, according to the by
laws.
The collector failed to pay Taylor s
assessment for October, as he had been
in the habit of doing, when overdue,
and when it was rendered three days
later, just before Taylor's death, it was
refused on the ground that under the
bylaws Taylor was under suspension.
Mrs. Taylor recovered judgment against
the supreme council which appealed.
Judge Thayer, writing the opinion,
SAYS the question at issue is to deter
mine whether the supreme council was
cogn liant of the practice of the collector
in accepting the assessments of Taylor
after he was delinquent, and whether
it ratified such practice by accepting
the delinquent's assessment in violation
of it's bylaws. He finds nothing in the
evidence to warrant this assumption,
and orders the case remanded, with IN
structions to the trial court to instruct
tie jury that the plaintiff is not enti-
tied to recover.

Stevenson, WASH. March 1S.-For
years Skamania county has endeavored.
through it's representative in the legis-

wagon road along the Columbia river,
but all in vain. Roads in this county
are expensive of construction, and the
ordinary road tax has always been in
sufficient to accomplish anything of
much account. Last year the people
came to the conclusion they would
tackle the proposition themselves by
cooperative methods. The result is
that they now have considerable
stretch Of good road, especially along
the shore line north of Stevenson.

BEAUTIES or FILIPINO SPEECH.
II Is Almost GrammarleSS, but Is Re-
markably Expressive.

markably Expressive.
Lieut.. Isaac Seymour, y. S. N,
who, notwithstanding much active
service, has found time to study the
Malays, while in the Philippines and
in Samoa, recently gave an infor
mant talk at the Cosmos Club in
Washington.
His subject was the Malay Ian.
gusge, of whose subtle meanings and
fine gradations he had much to say
in admiration. He said the Ian
guage is nearly grammarless. Some
of their pronouns are used by one
native to another; some between En
ropeans and Americans and natives;
others between interiors and supe-
riors; others when the native adj
dresses his prince, and finally some
are never used at all colloquially
The Malay language is the mother
tongue of 4O,O0O,O0O people, being
spoken from Madagascar to distant
Pacific islands and from the Philip
pines to Australia. One can use it
in the spice markets of Ceylon. buy
in Java, ingratiate himself with the
sovereign in Sumatra or converse
with priest in Manila. The Ian
guage is written in the Arabic charac-
ter, this having been introduced
with Mohammedanism Sauskrit has
left strong impression upon the
language. Lieut.. Seymour says the
delightful euphemism of tba Ian
guage and its charming surprises
will repay one for learning it.
To die in Malayese is "to return to
the bosom of Allah" To take q
stroll is "to eat the wind" \ spring
''is the eye Of water" To make a
neighbor Of one is TO "allow him t.
ascend the ladder Of Your house. "
A tlatterer is one who has sugar
cane on his lips"
The Malay is creature Of the sea
and the forest; the light foam Of the
one and the dark shade Of the other
is in his language. He loves free
dom, and he exquisitely expresses i,
by the proverb. "Though you feed
a Jungle fowl from golden plate, i,
will return to the jungle again.
He is a fatalist, and he says
"When the prov Is wrecked The
shark gets his till," and again: "One
may escape the tiger and fa!l into
the jaws of the crocodile"
He has sense Of drollery, and b,
says: "To love ones children, one
must weep for them now and then
to love ones wife, one must leave
her now and then"
Seymour drew from British con
snls collection some of his proverb:
to illustrate the fancy and feeling o.
the Malays Of the Philippines:
you reach the rivers mouth q,
nightfall, what's the use of talking
Of returning?
1t is a project, and the result i.
with God.
The tortoise lays q thousand egg:
and tells no one; the hen lays one
and tells the world.
He carries torch in daylight.
A shipwrecked vessel may hoa,
again; heart once broken is broker
forever.
Because of the mouth the bod,
comes to harm.
1t rains gold afar, but stone a
home.
What if you sit on a cushion 0
gold with III uneasy mindY
Like frog under cocoanu
shell, he thinks he sees the sky.
A slave who does we'll is neve
praised; if he docs badly ncve
forgiven.
