LEXINGTON. VA. January 26.-Tues-
day evening saw the second basketball
game Of the season for Washington and
Lee in which she came out victorious
over the strong Y. NJ. @. A. team OF
Staunton by the score of Is to 20. The
game was strongly contested throughout
and the spectators were repeatedly
brought to their feet by the brilliant plays
Of both teams.
The Y. NJ. C. A. team is, in the opinion
OF some experts on the game. much
superior to the University OF Virginia
team, and gives tho impression that
Washington and Lee has a better team
than Virginia. The Y. NJ, c. A. has
already defeated Virginia this season,
and this gives the victory a decided
flavor, which Washington and Leo Uni
verslty followers will greatly appreciate.
The playing of Wilmington, Hood and

Boise. Ida. July 9--This city lost one
of her esteemed veterans today, when
Peter Soma passed away. He was
stricken with apoplexy while he slept,
and his condition was discovered by
his wife only a few moments before
the end came. Deceased was an old
time resident of Boise and at one time
served as mayor. He was ~ years
OF age at the time of his demise. and is
survived by a wife and six children.
The writ of habeas corpus served in
the case OF the state OF Idaho versus
Jerome +, Jacobs, has resulted In an
order being made for hearing be-
fore all the supreme judges. Jacobs Is
n Wallace saloonkeeper, and was
charged with violation OF the Sunday

like to have $1,000 insurance for the
benefit OF his children imbued with
that generosity also common to
some few insurance agents. the
agent said he was willing to accept an
assignment of half the policy. But
giving full credit TO all his testimony
Ito all his ostentatious charity, this
agent was nevertheless acting fraud
ulently and his language but
sugar-coated the rottenness OF the
transaction.
And even IL the agent had not act
ed fraudulently, It would. so 4, seems
to me, be against the best interests OF
the public to permit such transactions
as this. in this regard adopt the
language Of the supreme court OF
Pennsylvania, in the case of Cooper
vs. Viewers Admfnstr., II Atlantic,
$50, wherein the court, quoting from n
previous decision, Corsons appeal, 6
Atlantic. 2l3, says:
lin all cases there must be rea-
sonable ground, founded on the rela-
tons of tho parties to each other either
pecuniary. or by blood Ok affinity. to
expect some benefit or advantage
from the continuance of the life of the

mere wager, by which the party taking
the policy is directly interested in the
early death of tho assured. Such poll
policies have a tendency to create n
desire for the event. They are, there
fore, independently Of any statute on
the subject, condemned as against pub
iic policy
VII Is aye IL this transaction now lie-
fore the court, was setting siS against

said Sinner was induced by one Il. K.

Mr. Sinner died. and the policy was
not paid Walton claiming $1,000 of the

Judge Howell in his opinion without

the case In the following language:

having accepted the notes in payment
OF the first premium therefor, he had no
right whatsoever to forfeit or cancel
the policy, because the notes We're not

Yet he admits in his own testimony
that he told the insured that unless
he made some arrangement to pay the
