The Southern Tariff Association,
_ecnt
that kas most of the fireinsurance
companies united in a huge trust,
tried to kill the Southern Steck
Matnal Insurance Company, cf
Greensboro, by going into that
city and cutting the rate 50 per
cent. More than two hundred of
the business men of Greensboro
held a mass meeting and adopted
strong resolutions pledging their
support to the home company:
Good tor the Greensboro people!
This action on the part of the
Southern Tariff Association raises
this question : If they can-afford
to mak a 50 per cent cut in rates
in an effort to crush a company
that will not join their trust, why
canTt they be made to reduce the
robber rates they ordinarily
charge? This is a matter the
Legislature sheuld take hold of.
It looks like the State has just as
much right to say what insurance
rates shall be as to say what the
rate for hauling passengers and
freight shall be.

Down or the Hillsborough

there are the ruins of one of che
oldest settlements in this country,
and its history forms one of the
most tragic episodes ever record"

States. The place is called New
Smyrna, but there is nothing new
Jor attractive about it except the
orange trees, the palmettoes and
green vines which nature distri-
butes lavishly around. There is
one class of people in the South
who can never be induced to visit
New Smyrna, and the very sound
ofthe name makes them shrink

SUBSTANCE OR SHADOW.
The Telltale Mirror as Testimony In an
Important Case at Law.
oWhat is and what is not testi-
mony,TT remarked the attorney who
goes 20 miles out on the railroad ev-
ery evening to sleep, ois not always
determined by Chitty, as.I can testi-
fy after an experience I had not
long ago. I was spending a week
with a friend who keeps a moun-
tain resort in Virginia, and during
my visit the room of one of the
guests was robbed of jewelry
amounting to $40 or $50. Several
eervants were suspected, but the
theft could not be fixed upon any
one of them until I happened upon
thelaundryman who cameto get the
linen of the guests on that floor,mine
among the number. This man was
thoroughly reliable and of some
means, which he had saved during
many years of work about the hotel.
~~T was interested in the case, and
when I mentioned it tomy laundry-
man he looked surprised and asked |C
if he could not have a private talk
with me on the subjecti He gave me
such information that I felt safe in
having a colored chambermaid ar-
rested for the theft, the prosecuting
attorney, of course, taking the lead
in the action. The gir! denied steal- :
ing the jewelry, but we stood ready
to prove what we had charged and
the case came promptly to trial be-
fore a magistrate.
oOur side did not have much show
until I called the laundryman. He
was duly sworn and testified that on
the day of the stealing he had stop-
ped in front of the door of the room
in which the theft was committed,
thinking it was a room where he
was to call for clothes. In getting
close enough to see the number on
the door, his attention in some way
was attracted to the large transom
over the door, which was set open
at an angle reflecting the interior of
the room. The transom was of one
large pane of glass, with a piece of
dark silk over the inside, making it
to all intents and purposes a mirror.
~In this mirror he had distinctly
seen the reflection of the figure of
the prisoner, Mary French, whom
he had known since her childhood.
She was standing at a bureau or
dresser looking at and handling
some jewelry which had been left
there. After a few moments he saw
her take in her hand a breastpin of
gold and move away about her work
in the room; at least he could hear
her moving about sweeping, though | %
he could no longer see her, as ghe
had got where the glass did not re-|% 0)
The laundrymanTs son, a| ¥
flect her.
lad of 16, testified to very nearly the
game facts, as he had been standing
by the side of his father.
~~The pin thus described as having
been taken was the pin which was
lost, and the evidence seemed sure
to convict, but the magistrate was
very cautious. The laundryman tes-
tified further that he had not men-
tioned it because he had not heard
of the robbery until I spoke of it
and he had not cared to make any
trouble at first because he supposed | XC
the gir] might have been only going
to put the pin in a safe place.
oThis kind of testimony was, in
my opinion, good enough to convict
jin any court, but his honor, the
squire, looked wise and refused to
admit it on the ground that the wit-
ness had not seen the prisoner take
the pin nor had he seen the prison-
er at all. It was her reflection, and
as he had not seen her and had so
testified then, of course, not having
seen her, his testimony as to what
she had done during the time of her
reflection was not competent, and he
would throw it out, which he did,
and the state lost the case of course.
Since that time I have been mak-
ing a study of evidence and calculat. |
ing the value of the relation of a
-| shadow to its substance in a court of
law presided over by 4 Virginia jus-
tice of the peace.TT"Washington
