New Legislation.
( Auditor Carroll reviews the insur-
ance legislation affecting companies
other than life, as follows:
LIST. An act to provide for the con-
solidation and reinsurance of the risks
OF insurance companies or associations
with or by other companies or associa-
lions authorized to transact business
within this state, providing a plan for
such consolidation or reinsurance. Ow-
ing to the fact that prior to the enact
ment OF this law, our statutes contain
ed no provision regulating consolida-
ton or reinsurance, this legislation
supplies long-felt want.
I'd. An act to provide for the exam
nation of insurance companies and as
sociations. \
3rd. An act requiring the agents of
all companies and associations doing a
statewide business to procure and
have an agents license
1t is my purpose in the near future
to prepare and cause to have published
a revised edition of the insurance laws
of this state.

Not a Small Matter.

els this small matter? BY no
means; the public will not remain do
cile under persistent disappointment.
We cannot admit that the violin is in
itself deficient musical instrument;
we know 1t is not; but we must admit
that the solo violinist Is a gradually di-
minishing public favorite. The path
of the greatest among them is strewn
with disappointment. Sarasate went
home Disguised with our people. Willy
Burmeister said that If he had yellow
skin and long nose like Paganini he
would have became popular, but was
not so, even though he could do all
Paglnini ever did. Petchnikoff with
his marvellous tone, arose faint lum-
mary and went out in cloud Of disap-
pointment. Vieuxtemps. even during
his last tour, is said to have suffered
severely In popularity on account Of
an inefficient violin-a disability COM
mon to all the players mentioned.
GAS long as violin does not carry
all the tone qualities which SO please
the player to the uttermost corner of
the audience room some one is going
to be disappointed. A word of expla.
nation may be needed: 1t is customa-
ry for the great visiting soloists to
leave their best violin at home, safe
in some strong vault. while they regale
us with something second best
"The hope for the yiolinists lies in
the new instruments, and 1t is with
pride we say that the testimony of
those who know is that for honesty of
purpose and efficiency of method, the
American violin makers take a high
place. Did you ever think Of the fact
that when we are told that Tartini
played his Devils Thrill on a Decon-

KILLED BY FALL
orVilIc Norris Of North DanvlIle Thrown From
Wagon.

Orville Norris, of North Danville,
suffered an accident June 30 that re-
suited in his death. Having recently
shingled his house Mr. Norris was re-
turning the brackets, and while decend-
ing steep hill he must of lost his bal
ance, as the load was high, and it
seems from the position in which he
was when found that he must have
fallen very heavily upon his head and
shoulders.
His skull was fractured and his
egs were badly bruised. His injuries
were so serious that they terminated
in death about fortyeight hours later.
