The Fire Department.

Mr. Edttor:-Ole of the most important Off
Ger to be filled by the new city government is
the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department
truly of too much Importance to be filled by a
mere novice in such matters. He should, first
of all, be man of not little experience and one
who has not only the confidence and respect of
the members of the Fire Department, but that
of our citizens generally who are so largely ia
terested as property holders; and especially
should he have the confidence of the under
writers who have so much at stake in this
largely wooden city. Without these the De-
partment will not only suffer, but the city, its
citizens. and those who furnish insurance. In
case Of fire much, very much depends npon the
experience, efficiency and skill of the Chief En-.
gineer, as also upon the promptness aud alacri-
" of the Fire Department. II the members of
the Department have no respect for or conf.
lence in, their Chief, much, everything, may
be lost by neglect to obey his orders, or by a
disposition to throw the odium of waste and
disaster upon him.
In the selection of this officer no regard
should be had to political considerations, but
take the best man, whoever he may be, or
wherever he may be found. Give him good
and efficient assistants, and go in for the great
est good OF the whole community,

Accident Losses AuaIyzed.

The subjoined tables furnish an instructive
analysis of the various causes of injury and
death by accident. They include only the losses
occurring in the accident department of theTrav
oilers Insurance 10. for the last year, but may
be taken as fair average of this company's
experience. 1t will be seen that large pro-
portion are due to the common mshaps to
which every one is liable The simple item of
"falls," excluding those on the ice, covers
over % per cent. of the whole number. and
about 20 per cent. of the gross amount. Slips
and missteps, cuts from edge tools and broxen
crockery, punctures by needles, splnteis, and
such like triflles, contusions, kicks and bites
from vicious animals, careless use of firearms,
burns and scalds, all help greatly.to swell the
list. Carriage and railway casualties roll up
heavy record of suffering,-the former far ex-
ceeding the latter in number and amount But
those who ''don't travel much" and therefore
don't insure, will be most interested in the
other details given. 1t is veiy noticeable
fact that the majority of accidents happens to
people when about their usual business, and
not specially exposed to danger.
The list tells its own story, which may be
read at glance. 1t will pay you to study it
carefully, however, and the perusal NAV save
you many times the cost of policy Get one
and try il. One IN every seventeen insured is
our ratio of losses paid. Better be one of sew
enteen insured, than one of any number who
carry their own risk, when your turn for an ac-
cident comes.
