In some of the states whore the

Y., March SO.-The joint leg islatiye insurance committee at 1:3O o'clock this morning finished their work upon the legislation resulting from the insurance investigation and the bill finally recom- mended by the special Investigating com mittee will be reported in both houses teday and sent down for printing.
 At the closing of the meeting Senator Armstrong made statement substantial ly as follows:
 "The bills relative 10 lobbying, political contributions by corporations, perjury. falslficaton of entries, rebates and acqui- sition of real property by insurance com panies stand substantially unchanged.

 ample of Character-Acting.

'"The Players Everybody's Magazine.
 The most remarkable exemplification of versatility in fine characterization that have ever seen is Henry de Vries's in "A Case of Arson" The one-act play is a gloomy drama, absorbingly interesting in its development. A magistrate, inqurng into the cause of a fire In which a little child lost her life, examines seven wit nesses, and MT. de Vries plays each of these characters. He Is scarcely off tho stage before he returns so completely changed in every way that it is difficult indeed to believe that one man plays all the parts. Even as an exhibition of dex- terity these changes would be marvellous. but that is the least important part of the performance. The mans very mind seems to undergo subtle transformations It is absolutely impossible to detect, in infec- tion or mannerism, a detail that is not absolutely individual to each character. I doubt if there is a player on the stage that could portray any one of these seven characters as well as Mir. de Vries.
 He is a Hollander by birth, and he has been on the stage since he was twelve. winning distinction in a great variety of roles. "A Case of Arson was first played in London in Dutch. Ii made so strongly favorable an impression that. a year later. 1t was translated into En- glish. and in that time MT. de Vries had practically mastered the language.

 But I must reiterate that if the evil dence Is of such a character that the grand jury sitting as a petty jury would not convict, I shall advise 1t that its duty under its oath. is not to indict."

HERBERT sPENcER's LOVE STORY
Romantic Incident In Early Life of
 Great Philosopher.

'Two." in Harper's Monthly.
 Spencer was in charge of the busi- ness of the house of his chief, and it so happened that the only member Of the family at home was young niece, who was bright, unconventional and rather pretty. Every morning she used to bring the letters into the office for him and being alone and wanting company. she started talking to him. He was attracted by her. In this way, as has often happened before, a great friendship sprang up between them, which he said-and it was all he would admlt-would probably have ripened into something deeper on his side, when suddenly carefully concealed fance turned up. and he awolIe. The probable" event must have very near ly taken place, for he told that even after fifty years he well remembered the unpleasant feeling he experienced on seeing her hanging on his rivals arm and looking around at him to see what he thought of it.
 She was horrid fiirt!" exclaimed one of us.
 She was nothing of the sort" he quickly retorted, loyal to the memory of this half-acknowledgeds love of fifty years before. And so staunch and true was he, SO simple and straightforward. that he would have no word said against her conduct.
 It seemed that he not only felt more deeply than he would admit. but that he still cherished his illusions about her; for after he had told ns his one poor little romance he suggested rather sheepishly that he would write to her and propose exchanging photographs. For. although he had never seen her since, he knew where he could get her address. Seeing that he was rather bent on 1t and wanted to be persuaded, we encouraged him to do 1t. Indeed, one of us then and there suggested that she should write the letter for him an offer which he gladly accepted. It would have been wiser not to have written--to have left the ash of this love story untouched to the end, like mummy in it's coffin. for the remem brance of the past was still young and fresh in him.
 In due time a letter arrived with the photograph of the old lady. which he opened in his own room. But 1t was evident from his manner when he brought 1t down stairs that he was dis appointed. It was strange if he ex- pected the course of more than half a century to have left any trace of the prettiness and bloom of a girl of 20, but it was clear that with the opening of that envelope the last of his ilu- sions vanished.
 He looked quite sad as he slowly and thoughtfully replaced the photograph in the cover, but as one of us asked. "Why is everybody so interested in love affairs. Mir Spencer? Is it be- cause they are common to all? ?" some pale reflection of the old fire shone out once more as he answered, "Yes. that is one reason; but a greater req son is because love Is the most inter- esting thing in life"

 T. The commission to agents.

 Advances to agents which shall not ex- ceed loadngs and margins originally pro vided.
 "The bill originally provided that ex- penses allowed must include every ex- pense. The allowance now is about 90 per cent for agents on new business Tor ofdl- nary life business Renewal allowances are extended to nine renewals at 7ka per cent. with 212 per cent collection fee after that The company is given the privilege to commute renewals, and pay in three or more years, but more than two-ffths on any years
 Generally speaking, the requirements es- tablished are made applicable to New York state companies only: except that the restrictions on expense of new bus mess are enforced upon outside companies by provision that any company not doing business within these limitations for do- nestle companies shall not be permitted to do busness within this state
 As to contingency reserve, it is pro- vided that after the total of assests reaches 5,0,o,..- a company may main tain a per cent reserve with the proviso that ,ne superintendent of insurance may annually authorize a company to carry a larger reserve if deemed necessary to meet special demands.
 Otherwise in all essentials the bills re- main as originally introduced. The com mittee believes it has met all reasonable objects, and that the concessions made will insure the speedy passage of the bills without important opposltion
