terminating life; yet, rapid as such n
mode of taking Off must necessarily
be, the body has leisure to feel and

A case that is Of especial interest to
local Maccabees was decided in the
supreme court Of this state last We'd
nesday. Its interest to local parties
is emphasized from the fact that the
Corbett case is now pending the deci-
sion OF the Great Tent.
The supreme court held I'm
two cases that when the Great Hive
OF Maccabees has rejected death
claim its action is final, and cannot be
reviewed by the courts. The decisions
were rendered in the cases of Charles
S. Barker against the Great Hive OF
the Ladies OF the Modern Maccabees,
and in Emma Derry against the same,
In both cases the claims were rejected
because of Representations.

KARL CLAIM ALLOWED.
Mystic Workers Have Decided to Pay Death
Benefit OF Lena Karl.

NJ. iI. Moriarty, attorney for the
Karl estate, received notice last Sat
urday that the insurance policy which
Mrs Lena Karl carried in the Mystic
Workers had been recognized as bind
ing on the society and that it would
be paid
The contention over the payment oi
this policy arose from the fact that
Mrs. Karl was committed TO the asy-
lum at Newherrya year or 50 previous
10 her death. I'm addition 10 this fact
there was mix-up ut the time OF the
change Of financial officers in the Mys-
Tic Worker lodge In this city The
.reeards pot tangled IN some way so
that the head officers claimed that
one payment bad been delinquent.
Mrs. karl's son, Joseph, in whose favor
the policy was drawn, kept ZIP the in
strance after his mother had been sent
TO the asylum. He maintained his
claim that he had paid his assessment
in time and that the blame, If any,
should not rest on him. He was
turned down all around at first and
then placed the matter In Mn. Moriar-
ty's hands. The latter took the
matter UP with the head officers OF
the association and the whole thing
was re-opened and sifted thoroughly
The investigation convinced the ofii-
GERS that Mr.. Karl was entitled 90 the
money and they notified him that III
will be paid at once.
