AUSTIN, Tex., March 24,—The Henute
I Committee on Insurance, Statistics and
History this afternoon reported favorably
a bank guaranty bill, but it does not in any
respect ni^et the requirements of those
who wish a co-partm-ryhip bank guaranty
fund, who filed notice of an adverse mi-
nority report with a substitute. The bill
in question is a substitute by Senator
Venter requiring aafch bunk to make on
Its own resources an annual bond to cover
the amount of its average dally deposits
for the past year, and thus guarantee all
deposits.
The committee also reported favorably
the Mfiiiri. Harper and Brachtiald bill
providing for a rating board to fix fire
insurance rates. The bill was so amendod
to fix the salary of the Insurance Com- j
mlssioner at janij p»*r year, the others
members' salaries at $25<»0 per year, and
requiring that the Governor appoint tho j
members of the board instead of tho
Commissioner of Insurance and the Insur-
ance companies.
Routine in the Committee.
Senate Committee on Insurance Statis-
tics and History met to consider tno bank
guarantee bill 'by Mr. Alexander today.
Senator Senter offered his substitute
providing that every bank under State
control file on tho first of each year a
bond, insurance bond, or other guaranty
of indemnity, to cover the amount of the
average daily deposits for the past year.
This bond is to be approved by the State
Commissioner of flanking.
In case of default of any bank the dis-
trict or county attorney in tho name of
the Governor shall brin* suit to recover
on the bond the amount of the deficiency,
and thus every depositor is protected on
every deposit. The co-partnership fea-
ture is struck out and each bank guaran-
tees its own deposits individually, guaran-
teeing th n t«» the full amount. In the
organization of new banks the Commis-
sioner of Hanking shall fix tho bond at
that sum which he deems necessary. Any
banking corporation, private or National,
nifty take advantage of this bond provi-
sion.
Stnator Alexander opposed the substi-
tute, as being a "foxy'' scheme of the op-
ponents of bank guaranty. He did not
think the substitute would prevent a
panic.
Senator Senter replied to the Idea that
lie was advocating the substitute to kill
the bank guaranty; lie advocated his sub-
stitute as a buslness-likf» proposition, ife
predicted that Texas would have a great
panic If a co-partnership method was
adopted.
Mr. Jiove declared that, the substitute
would reduce the number of State banks
materially.
The Senter substitute was adopted over !
the Alexander bill, the vote "being 6
ayes. 4 noes.
Senator Alexander gave notice of a m!- I
i noritv report in favor of his bill.
j Those voting for the substitute were :
I Senators Hudspeth, Watson, Senter, Ptur-
: genn and Hume.
Those voting for the Alexander bill
were Terrell of McLennan, Alexander,
Mnyfleld and Veale.
In considering the Hrachfield-Harper
bill creating a fire insurance rating
board consisting of tho State Com ml m-
sioner of Hanking, a member appointed
by him. and a member appointed by th»>
board. Mr. Watson offered an amendment
leaving tho salary of the commissioner at
$2r»no a year instead of Increasing It
$1500 a year, and nlaclng the salary of
*he assistants at $2000 a year, Instead of
$3000.
Alexander Offers Amendment.
Mr. Alexander offered an amendment
placing the salary of the Commissioner
of Insurance and Bunking at $3000, and
the assistants at I2MI0 a year. The Alex-
ander amendment was adopted In lieu of
the Watson amendment.
Mr. Watson then offered an amend-
ment requiring that one member of tho
board he appointed by the Lieutenant
Governor instead of the Commissioner
of insurance. He did not wish to see
the power in the hands of the Commis-
sioner of Insurance.
Mr. Sturgeon offered an amendment
~s a substitute, requiring that the Gov-
ernor make all of the appointments in-
stead of having one member appointed
by the Insurance companies and ons by
the Lieutenant Governor. Tho substi-
tute was adopted, and the bill as amend-
ed reported favorably. Messrs. Watson
and Hudspeth gave notice of an advorso
minority report.

Immediately thereafter Mr. Iieedy sent

Court today through an exhaustive opin-
ion expressed the Ueclsiun of that court,
holding to be constitutional that part
of the Fedeial employers liublllty act
relating to territories despite the fact
that tne Supreme Court of the United
Slates had held to tlie contrary with re-
spect to portions ol the act relating to

reverses thu decision of tho Fourth Court
of Civil Appeals, Justice Fly dissent-
ing. and nturms the Judgment of I3u00
ugalnst tho El Paso Northeastern
Railroad Company in favor of the widow
of Autollio Gutierrez, who was killed
while in the employ of that road. The
judge of the District Court gave a charge
to the jury in which he virtually sub-
mitted the plaintiff's case upon the not
of Congress known as the employer's
liability law. The Texas court by its
decision holds to the same doctrine
enunciated by Chief Justice Shepherd of
the Court of Appeals of tlie District
of Columbia, sustaining the validity of
the liability law In its apllcatlon to that
district.
At the time of the death of Gutrlerrea,
which occurred In the territory of New
Mexico, the liability act was in force In
that territory. Tho defendant claimed
that the act was void under a decision
of tho United States Supreme Court
invalidating the law as applied to Inter-

sue Involved In tho case under consid-
eration, and the Texas court construes

A NOVEL USE FOR TELEPHONE.
Cut Off by a Storm, Village Pastor
Holds Church Services Over Wire.
An entire church service by telephone,
listened to by tho parishioners wltliln
a radius of ten miles of the parsonagj.
Is the brand new Idea In Sunday wor-
ship worked out successfully by a New
England pastor. Not only was tho ser-
mon delivered over the wire, but (he
violin tnuslo and choir selections weio
also duly given.
The Rev. Newell C. Maynard of Pom-
fret, VI., Is the clergyman whose novel
plsn promises to find many followers.
In the town of Fomfret, among the
hills of Vermont, Sunday morning, a
short time aEO, broke with a midwinter
blizzard. Three feet of snow had already
fnllen and the darkened sky gave no
signs of withholding the rest of its hoary
burden.
"To me, as a minister of the village
church. It was evident that this was a
good (lay for people to enjoy tho com-
forts of .their own fireside. But how
to reach these people in such a storm
end give them the practical benefits i>f a
Sunday service in their own homes—this
was the question which I set myself
about to answer.
"I had it! Almost every home within

"When the hour arrived I took down

700 patents were Issued, on the average,
cacli week of the past year. This repre-
sents an expenditure in Governmei.t fees
alone of more than $1,600,030. The total
cost of the applications was probably
more than J6.000.000.
The patent system was Instituted at
the very founding of the Federal Gov-
ernment and has grown with the indus-
trial growth of the country. Through the
passing decades, Inventors nnd manufac-
turers have observed and have proved nt
first hand Its operation and Its benefits.
Their answer to tho question "Do patents
pay?" Is the Investment annually In pat-
ents of millions of dollars, ever Increas-
ing In amount with the passing years and
the growth of Industrial activity. Opin-
ions expressed In dollsm are sincere and
usually also well considered.
The patent system has been one of the
chief factors In the Industrial develop-
ment of the country. Development un-
doubtedly would have gone on in some
measure without patents. ' But conse-
quently It would nave gone on without
Invention. It would have been hsmnorej
by the lack of Its most potent agencies
and the went of a thousand economies
now In being. In brief. Invention en-
couraged and fostered by the patent sys-
tem has brought about a ratio of result
to effort so favorable as to transform
the Industrial world.
Much has been said about Tankee In-
genuity. but American Inventive genius,
so powerfully and convincingly evidenced
In the development of labor-saving ma-
chinery In old fields and In the creatine
of absolutely new economic agencies ana
the exploitation of new fields, has done
tts work only because Inventors and pro-
moters of succeeslve improvements have
bed, through the patent svstem. aeeur-
ence of the enjoyment of their property
as certainly and eecurely as If tney had
turned their efforts to the acquirement
of realty er Inveetment securities. With-
out this assurance Inventions would have
been made only rarely e*cept where dic-
tated by business necessity and where
there would be opportunity to keep them
secret.—John D. Morgan la th* IfW Trade

OLD HOME Ai<l EQUINE REST CURE
Historic bent Farm Hag Been Turned
Into a Retreat for Tired Horses
The historic Dent farm, just outside of
the city of St. Louis, where Ulysses B.
Grant, then a young lieutenant, stationed
ut Jefferson barracks, not far away,
went a-courttn', and where he wooed and
won Miss Julia Dent, a daughter of the
proprietor, has been turned into a re-
treat for tired horses.
It Is "Just a sweet, old-fashioned,
down South 'befo' de wah sort of a
place." And the fifty horses that have
worked hard and faithfully for the city
of St. Louis are now luxuriating In rio-
tous ease out in tlie forty-acre field, with
its long sweep of wooded valley, through
which young Grant and Miss Dent used
to canter on their handsome high-
aplrlted thoroughbreds. It is a fine
place for the horses to rest in. There
ts ample shed and barn room to afford
protection against wanter blasts to say
nothing of the barns bulging" with hay
and grain. . . „ , , _ .
The farm was owned by Colonel Fred-
erick Dent, father-in-law of President
U. S. Grant. Up to the very day of the
emancipation act Colonel Dent owned
slaves, but the time came when the old
colonel called himself a Grant man, and
lie died in the White House, a guest of
his Illustrious son-in-law, during Grant's
seoond administration.
It was in 1S21 that Colonel Frederick
Dent came Into possession of this farm.
There Is still stsnding on It a block
house, constructed with portholes, used
for the purpose, doubtless, ot resisting
Indian attacks. The building was con-
structed originally of stone and logs, but
It Is now waatherboarded.
The farm Itself is located about four
miles couth of the city of St. Louie and
about eight miles west ef Jefferson Bar-
racks, to which young Grant, after bo
had received the rank of lieutenant, was
ordered. He and Fred Dent Jr., after-
ward General Dent, had been roommates
and classmates at the United States Mil-
ltsry Academy, and when he set off for
the barracks young Dent made him
promise to call on Ills folks. So one day
he rode over to the 1200-acre farm, where
a warm welcome awaited him. He met
the three other Dent boys and three of
the Dent girls. Miss Julia happened to
be up In the city and young Grant was
destined to make several calls before he
finally met the young woman who was
to play so Important a part in his future
life. And then, as Grant himself always
frankly confessed, "It was love Pt first
sight." After that meeting there was no
longer any doubt In tho minds of any
one regarding the young lieutenant's
choice. And as tho parents watched him
ride away they both were agreed that
some day this young man would be heard
from.
Just before the outbreak of the Mexi-
can War. when his regiment was ordered
South Into Louisiana, Grant came gallop-
ing over the fields to the Dent place to
ask the question that no one but Julia
Dent could answer. The dauntless young
wooer had added nothing to his personal
charm by having to ford the swelling
creek In the teeth of a tempestuous storm
of rain and wind. But this in no way
detracted from his worth in the eyes of
the young woman he had come to woo.
After resigning from the army Captain
Grant, as his rank now rated, erected a
small dwelling made of logs on the land
owned by his wife, snd where they con-
tinued to make their home until the
needs of his country again demanded his
service. It Is this land that Street Com-
missioner Trsvllla of St. Louis has turned
Into a retreat for tired horses.—Philadel-
phia Record.
