CHOIR MEMBERS RESIGNED.
Twelve Choristers at Christ Church, in
GEORGETOWN, Leave With Director.

Announcement has been made at Christ
P. E. Church. Georgetown, that Mr.. Will
lam II. Glover choirmaster, and Mr.. Will
lam TAYLOR, organist, had resigned their
positions. The rector, Rev. j. II. w. Blake,
informed the members of the choir that
Mr. Glover had resigned, and after the
service a dozen of the members of the choir
resigned Members of the vestry will not
discuss the affair. The pastor thereupon
declares he knows less about it than the
vestry.
The matter of a change in the musical
dictatorship of the church has been under
consideration by the rector and the vestry
for several months past. 1t was represent
ed to them that the service of the church
demanded class of music which would
necessitate the expenditure of larger sum
of money than the present appropria ton
or the combina ton of the offices of choir
son of sufficient experience and ability could
be secured to fill the double office and could
give his entire time to the work. The mem
bers of the vestry were loath to ask Mr.
Glover or Organist Taylor to give up their
duties because of their service to the
church, and consequently the matter was
allowed to rest during the summer. 1t
vestry, and after thorough discussion and
careful consideration the decision was
reached to ask Mr.. Glover and Mr.. Taylor
for their designations. This was done and
the designations were received early this
week. A new choirmaster, who will also
be organist, will take charge of the choir
within few days. The members of the
yestry and the rector both speak in the
highest terms of the work of Messrs. Taylor
and Glover in the past and express great
regret at the necessities that make reces-
sary their separation from the church

NEW INSURANCE LAW.
District to Have Model Regulations,
Saws Commissioner mcfarland.

zanara1 insurance law for the District
of Columbia. which will prove model for
insurance laws everywhere, is an OBJECT
which Commissioner Macfarland has had in
view ever since the insurance department
of the District was established three years
ago, and he said yesterday that he was
heartily glad that Superintendent Drake OF
the insurance department was at last free
to prepare for the drafting of such a law.

tendent brakes annual report, SAID MT

TO begin the task of outlining an insurance
law. The provisions respecting insurance
in the District code have been declared

ance department was delayed, for now it
can have the benefit of the Information dis
closed by the insurance Investigations and
the suggestions which have been caused
by those revelations. A year ago Super
intendent Drake began to gather all the
insurance laws of all the jurisdictions in
the United States and abroad, mass of
matter which 1t will take a long time to
digest Now, Mr.. Drake suggests that we
should employ a lawyer, expert in insur-
ance matters, to cooperate with him in the
preparation of the proposed model law, and
l think that should be done, since Mr..
Drake is not a lawyer by profession, and
the corporation counsePs office is already
overburdened with important work.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Drake recommends that
the amendments which practical experience
has shown to be most urgently needed TO
our present insurance law should be enacted
without waiting for general revision, and
this approve. Just now the country wants
to see insurance laws and supervision
strengthened in every possible way. and we
want ours here in the District to be the
best in the country. The adoption OF uni
form insurance laws of high merit through
out all the states would go far to improve
the situation. not only Of the policyholdere.
but Of the companies themselves"

Judge Thomas w. Harrison of Winches-
ter, who preSideS over the seventeenth tu-
dicial circuit of Virginia, has long been
garded as one of the most scrupulous judges
in the state, and evidence of his honest
convictions came into prominence this week
at Berryville, while the Clarke county cir
cult was in session. The court was engaged
in hearing a suit brought by John Bell
against the Norfolk and Western railway
for damages on account of carload OF
hay shipped by the plaintiff that had been
destroyed by fire. Thomas Singhass, one
of the jurors, had, at his own request, been
excused for a few moments and he went
out he was followed by the plaintiff They
were seen talking together, and although
It was stated that their conversation had
no bearing on the case, the judge imme-
diateiy discharged the entire jury and sum-
moned another. On the following day Mr..
Bell was awarded full damages, less freight.
