New York sun.l
"Now you Just skip out Of this" said q
big, burly deck hand in the ladies' cabin
OF a Fulton ferry boat, as he caught a
thinly-clad, shivering, bareiooted boy by
the ear and marched him toward the
door, sect out on the deck-lively now
The little fellow had been asking the
passengers for cents, and the man had
caught him at it. "Oh, please DON'T
screamed the child, as the deck hand
twisted his ear, "Pll go, | will" A fash
ionabIy dressed woman stepped quickly
forward, and her silks rustled and her
eyes snapped FIRE US she said "What has
he done? why do You treat the child SO
harshlyg"
"He,s young beggar, mum; and the
rules doesn't allow beggars in the boats,

"Let him stay in here" said she. "IPs

young, toO-why he can't be more than
five or six years old"

num-, and the big man let go the little
ones eur and stood watching him.
"Poor little fellow" unused the lady,
scanning the boys pale, pinched face
closely. "You look Tired and hungry.
I've mind to give you something"
"lEs for rum II you give him a cent,
mum; his folks will take it all away
from him before his foots put ashore

hand.
But the kind lady handed the shiyering
child one OF Uncle Sans crisp fifty cent

"Mistaken charity" persisted the val.

passengers were regarding her with inter.

The passengers did agree with her, and

Insurfng Farm Property.

From the ChiCagO Tribune.
The insurance companies Of New York
have recently raised the rates Of insur.
ance on farm property, Among the rea.
sons given for this course are some that
II Is not pleasant 10 DO told about. The
report Of the State Farm Board Of Fire
Insurance, at meeting lately held at
Utica, n. :, says that these reasons arc
"thG alarming increase OF trampS, the use
Of inlammable and explosive oils, great
depreciation Of property, and prevail
ing and increasing lack OF morals" The
Board thought that "the first Of these rea.
sons had more immediate effect than
tho Others" The last one enumerated,
II true, furnishes n sad commentary on
the decay OF the old.tine, robust virtues
OF the yeOmanry. II il n familiar fact
that in hard limos losses by fire greatly
increase in cities, and insurance men
always expect large part Of the losses
Of crisis 10 be thrown on their shout.
ders by incendary' bankrupls. II is
startling to hear that bncoic integrity
yields to the same terrible temptation
This growing disregard for honesty
shows that country Clcrgymen ought
to redOuble their Gvangclizing ef-
forts, and that, pending the re.
clamation Of their ilOCks, the insur.
ance companies should protect them.
selves by raising their rates. The
latter course was that taken by the New
York Board. They fixed the minimum
rate at 75 cents for three years, with n
two-thirds valuation clause in the poll.

terms. The companies represented at
this meeting Of the Board agreed that
their business on farm risks had been
done at loss. One Of the New York
companies had had to replace lis capital,
entirely lost In insuring farm property.
The public has a good deal Of interest in
this matter. The question Of rates coL'
Germs only citizens OF New York State,
but the reasons on which the increase Of
rates has been based concern II wider cir
Gle. The statement OF these reasons, I'm.
supported by the facts, reads almost like
libel on what has always been supposed
to be the most honest and least vicious
part Of our population. The Board di.
rccted Its Secretary to obtain all tho facts
connected with insurance losses on farms
during the last year. When these nre
compiled, let them be published for the
edilicNtion OF the public.
