Plaintiff hod no knowledge of the transfer to the bank until the policy had matured and had been paid. Alter the transfer to Hadley, no premiums were paid by plaintiff, but all were paid by Hadley. The principal question on this appeal is whether plaintiff, having placed in Hadlcy's hands all the indicia of title to the policy, and the defendant having taken it on the Taith thereof, parting with value in good faith, whether plaintiff is not estopped to deny the right of the bank to receive the amount of the policy. If plaintiff Is so estopped, then the defendant in paying the policy to the bank paid it to the person to receive it, and the plaintiff cannot force a second payment of the policy to him. The court holds that plaintiff is not estopped, and that ho is entitled to recover.

The court holds, however, that, as to the premiums paid by Hadley. he had obtained a lien for the actively induced a change; of position on th part of his creditor, which he will not be allowed to take advantage o. to his creditor'; Injury."

The managers of the hospital want to make $2,000, and if the patronage continues to be as liberal as it was yesterday and last night matic corps of the society appeared la "The Silver Shield," a play by Sidney Grundy and given many times by Rosina Vokes' company. It is new to the Booth Society, and it may be that it was on this account some of tho players were far from letter perfect and that there were lapses of memory that might have been painful had not the prompter promptly attended to business. The play itself, in the early part, dragged in a way Booth audiences do not now expect, for crispness is usually one of the virtues of the players in that popular society. Its lack may be accounted for by the fact that the members of the cast had not become accustomed to each other's peculiarities, or style, and this served to distract attention. It should also be said, by way of further excuse, that this, like all ot Sidney Grun The contention of defendant in support of thiB defense is that "although, as between plaintiff and Hadley, the former owned the policy, yet, by his conduct in clothing Hadley with all the indicia of ownership, plaintiff is estopped to assert his own rights as against the bank, an innocent purchaser for value."

Unfortunately, Dr. Hillis was unable to be present in spite of his anxiety not to miss the first of the prayer meetings, but owing to the condition of bis wife's health he decided to join her in Philadelphia, where dy's plays, needs slap dash execution, acquired markably clever young woman. One of her tests consists of finding hidden articles, blindfolded, the articles having been secreted while she was out ot the room. At the various tables there are many especially fine exhibits, one of the most interesting being a large doll which was donated to for all the wards he would favor it heartily.

Mr. Van Thun declared the crying need of the ward was sewers. There was not a trunk eewer in the whole ward, and it was rapidly becoming a great cesspool. In his opinion, any money that the city would get should be spent in building a sewer. Property owners demanded that more Imperatively than paved streets.

Under existing conditions 6uch an expenditure would be a waste of money. He believed that any money and any credit the city extended should be expended judiciously. New York was not eo far away from the debt limit as to permit the wasteful use of public money. Every new house built by Senator Reynolds had to have a cesspool. Every such cesspool was an injury to the health of the community and the first thing the city should do was to build a trunk sewer.

The advocates of the bill did not intend to spend the money for this, however, but for paving. Frederick Cocheu contradicted Mr. Van Thun at this point. It wa3 intended to build lateral Bewers. Mr.

Van Thun asked what was the use of building lateral sewers while there was no trunk sewer for them to empty into? Mr. Cocheu replied that the plans for a trunk 6ewer were before the authorities. They had adopted plans for it. Mr. Cocheu, speaking for the bill, urged the long delays necessary under the charter and declared the bill was Intended to be a short cut to needed improvements.

in tact, is Kossiter informed the memher. nt burdened with dainty pieces of fancy work exact position of its assignor, Hadley. and tool it subject, to the equities existing between him and his assignor, the plaintiff, unless the latter is equitably estopped by his conduct from asserting those equities against the bank, and that there are no facts hi this case create any such estoppel. Upon the facts found, the defendant has nothing upon which to base an equitable estoppel, except the bare fact that plaintiff delivered possession of the policy to Hadley, accompanied by an absolute assignment, without any expressed conditions or limitations, and thereby clothed him with the indicia or absolute ownership. The bank officers relied upon, and based their belief of Hailley's ownership upon, their examination of the policy and the assignment, without knowing, and presumably without attempting to ascertain, how or for what purpose the assignment to Hadley was made, or what, the consideration for it was.

If it be said that plaintiff was negligent in not taking active measures to secure a return of the policy from Hadley, and in not personally paying the premiums on his own policy, the answer is that, if so, such negligence did not constitute any breach of duty, either legal or moral, towards the bank, or any one else i who might see fit to deal with the policy." "What is called the doctrine of 'latent equities' has received some judicial snp port. This means that in a case like the pres by repeated presentations. This treatment the Booth cannot, of course, give a play. It should, in fairness, be added that in the third act, the last, the players had restored to them i their dramatic second wind and the curtain fell amid loud and long applause. At the end of the second act, also, the entire company i was compelled to respond' to a recall, de manded because the audience recognized the triumph achieved over difficulties and the fine characterization effected by the chief players.

Miss Tischler had the burden of the work in the character of Alma Blake, who is intro duced into the play as a widow, returned to England from Melbourne, Australia, and who, though loving her husband, having quarreled with him, has gone on the stage under the name of Blake. She caused her own death notico to be printed, to hide all tracts. The i play is founded on the fact that after she quarreled with her husband she wrote a letter and left it on her desk. Her husband found a part of It and naturally misunderstanding it, abandoned her. They are brought together in the second act, and in the last act, through the reuniting of the two parts of the letter, are reconciled.

The title of the play is taken from the old tale of the two knights, who fought over the question whether a shield at the roadside was gold or silver, when in fact it was gold on one side and silver on the Mrs. Hillis' improved condition and said that In another ten days It was thought she could be obie to sit up, and her complete recovery was practically certain. The prayer meeting was characterized by great thankfulness of spirit for this good news and every speaker tooK occasion to express this sentiment ia earnest and heartfelt phases. The Rev. Horace L.

i'c rter, assistant pastor, led the prayer meeting, and after tile opening hymn called up Dr. Kossitcr Raymond, who said that for 'die first time In forty two years' connection with Plymouth which are certain to bring good prices.

M. Interment at Nev. burgh. Members of Philadelyhos Council No. 562.

Royal Arcanum, arc invited. 23 2 LISLE On March 24, WILLIAM LISLE, a brother In V. M. C. The members of Phlladelphos Council No.

5G2, Royal Arcanum, are requested to attend the otner. It is the old story of the different aspect of thlng3 according to different points of view. Miss Tischler's versatility was well tested In the character, and she inftisad her personality into the part in a charming way. A. E.

Clans, as Tom Potter, her husband, played easily and naturally, yet with considerable stage presence. Mr. Claus is one ot the younger and most promising players in the Booth. A minor love story, told very prettily, was by Lillias Robb. as Lucy Preston, and J.

C. Maxfleld, as Ned Chetwynds. This was also founded on a misunderstood letter. Miss Robb's naturalness and pathos in acting in the scene where she left her husband's home were applauded. The Rev.

Dr. Dozey. by Francis Kelly, was a creation, and equally good was Mrs. Dozey, by Mary Farley. They made much merriment out of a comparatively small part allotted to them by the author.

II. M. Barrett was admirable as Dick, a theatrical, with manners as loud as his clothing. Miss Helen Blanchfisld, as Susan, and Miss Anabel Hill, as Wilson, were all that could be desired, and M. C.

Ready, as Sir Humphrey Chetwynd, was forceful and natural in a part requiring much memorizing and effort. The music was by Professor S. G. Lambert, tempt to turn down any other departments. He thought Mr.

Grout had interpreted the bill very strangely. As for Mr. Linton's objections, the speaker was surprised. Mr. Linton came from a ward needing improvement just as badly.

He for one would like to see Mr. Linton get a million or two to help the old Town of New Lots, but he did not see why Mr. Linton should attack the bill because he was not able to got a like amount for his own ward. He wanted to see improvement everywhere, but he was working for his own locality first. Mr.

Cocheu proceeded to predict a tenfold rise in assessments within a year or two if the bill should become a law, stguing from the results secured in the Eighth Ward, whtre $650,000 was set aside for improvements several years ago. He complimented the Mayor for his interest in new schools, but declared people had to have pavements to get to them. "Now," said he, "we have to walk in the mkldie of the street like hayseeds to keep outof the mud." He instanced the public school in Seventy first street, attended by 800 children, which was difficult of access, and beside had a big cesspool right beside it. All the back yards of the ward were honeycombed with cesspools. The Mayor asked Mr.

Cocheu if he had not STORE NOTES. ent the equities of the plaintiff, lhe origin ii assignor, are latent, and cannot prevail against the title of the bank, the second as signec; that the only defenses subject to i which the assignee of a nor. negotiable chose i in action purchases are those existing in favor of the debtor who issued the obliga tion or security. This doctrine has been generally condemned as unsound, and tending to extend the peculiar qualities of negotiable paper to things in action not negotiable, and to destroy the fundamental distinction between negotiable and nonuegotiablo demands." The court then proceeds to consider somo New York oases on tbis subject, saying that the application ot the doctrine to cases where one has delivered over stock certificates, i upon the back of which is written not only i an absolute assignment but express authority, to transfer may be justifiable. The court remarks concerning the New York decision so holding "In the McNeil case the subject of the assignment was not a mere non Wannmaker's Millinery Now on View.

Manhattan, are always events of note to a large propor tion of the feminine residenis of Greater; New York, but the spring exhibit now on view Is attracting even more than ordinary BOSTON SYMPHONY CONCERT. The last orchestral matinee of the season was given at the Academy of Music yesterday. The attendance, though satisfactory as compared with that of the winters before the Institute began to foster these concerts, was not what it should have been, considering the intrinsic merit of the music. Possibly the had something to do with it, for it was not so popular as matinee pieces are supposed to be. Haydn is old fashioned, Tsehaikowsky is new fashioned, and Berlioz, though betwixt and between, is too fantastic for some likings, albeit the "Harold in Italy" is his most sober work.

The Haydn number was the "Chasse" symphony, with its final movement descriptive. In its hems and its galloping strings, of a company of grown up people chasing a fox or a rabbit to death, and its preceding divisions melodic, childlike and so simple that they inevitable suggest the little ABC rhymes sung by German children. Indeed, Haydn was the author of some of those songs. The work was brigntiy, smoothly, pleasantly, prettily played by a diminished hand. The "Harold" symphony of Berlioz was surprisingly well performed.

Mr. Ger lcke Is so academic in his fashion of leader would be able to exert on Plymouth Church. 'Recently, continued Dr. Raymond, "Mrs. suffering from severe ill attention on account of the beauty, effective Hillis has be ness and although it was Dr.

It breaks up the entire system of the charter for thio ward and gives the Commissioner of Highways power belonging to the Board of Street Openings and the Commissioners of Sewers and Water Supply. Reuben Reilly and James P. Farrell, representing the Citizens' Association of Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton, favored the bill. They believed it the only way to get relief.
