Is 1t just that insurers should make good
losses incurred through the carelessness OF
the insured or his tenant? II the use OF illu-
minating oils of known highly inflammable
character is not the most criminal careless
ness. what is it? Thereby are endangered
the property of the insured, his life and those
of his family, and not only these, but the
lives and property of his neighbors. Then
there liz the fireman; is his risk nothing, his
life of nc value? Think on these things.

Through the courtesy of Col. Louis Power,
fire warden, we are able to give results of in
yestigations had as to the causes OF thirteen
fires In the little town of Algiers in as many
months OF the thirteen, eleven resulted
from the use of coal oil. OF the eleven, nine
were caused by explosions resulting only
from the infiammable character OF the oil.
Mark the figures.

From the chicago lrlouhes
The Misses Evarts-there are five or
six who can lay claim to this title-are
ali blondes, and have in them the same
vein of sepulchrsl humor, 30 to speak,
which characterizes their father. They
are not pretty, but thoroughly intellect
ual and refined, much more after the
Boston type than the metropolitan. In
conversation, if you can succeed in draw
ing them into 1t, they show keen sense
of the humorous, and careful training in
books and Otherwise training which
is due to Mrs. Evsrts, In dress the
Young ladies are demure. They COM
monty wear their hair in the most prim
of knots, and display no ornaments un.
less it be an antique gem, or something
valuable for its age of history. But
their silks are the heaviest, and they do
not sschew seal-skin sacques. Mr..
Eyarts has sor in his law office, and

is at the corner of Fourteenth street
and Second avenue-one of the old-tash-
toned double mansions, and is beautl-
fully furnished. With his hospitality
and taste for good cooking, and with
family of such size. Mr.. Evarts has oc'
cssion to keep up bis business income,
which is said to be over 100000, and
probably does not despise the revenue
from his farm, which can hardly equai
the summer expenses.

| The Sad story Of Once wealthy
Ill wOnan's Dissipation.
From the New York World.
On the first floor of the. tenement
house No. BAT East Thirtieth street, lives
Mrs. Maria Cullen with four of her chill
dren. the eldest sixteen, and the young
est about four years old. She is now q
habitusi drunkard, and is likely to be
shortly turned into the street. her
father was prosperous wine merchant
in Ireland. He died when she was yet
quite young, leaving his estate in such
q condition that his family got notnlng,
and having no friends who would take
care of her, she came to America and
tried to earn her living as sesmstress.
She was very pretty-ss may DO seen
even now-and she soon married rich
marble dealer, whose name she now
bears. They lived happily together for
some time, but the fashionable dissipation
into which she plunged was too much
for her, and she began to drink badly
after the birth of her first child, now
dead. She nearly ruined her husband
by her recklessness, and when he died q
wear ago he left hor nothing but the
tenement house in which she now lives.
1t is encountered by mortgage OF
ST., 900, and instead of paying her taxes
and the il terest on the mortgages, she
spent everything for drink. She pawned
the children's clothing and her own I'M
til all were half naked.
"Walk in, sir" said Mrs. Cullen to
the World reporter, who called upon her
Yesterday. "There is our front psrlor;
step in, There's no carpet on it there's
no furniture in it; the windows are
dusty; but it WAS sll different once. |
can't ask you to take a seat, because
there is none for you, but you are wei
come"
Mrs. Cullen is forty years old, and Is
quite stout. She was dressed in long
flowing wrapper, and wore long scarf
about her neck. Her children came il TO
the room and listened as she spoke, her
son, boy fourteen years old, frequently
interrupting her with such remarks as
"St.sh it, old woman! Don't tell such
ID liesW and "Shut up, yer lush.
or" At this the smaller ones laughed
outright. One of them, little boy
about five years old, had nothing on
him but ragged shirt and pair Of
drawers. A pretty little glrl not more
than two years his senior, had scarcely
sny more than he, but she did have q
new pair of shoes.
IL went, have 'en long, though" said
she. "Mother'l put 'em in the pawn
shop"
Mrs. Cul!en has daughter sixteen
years old, who has had 10 leave hrr. Ii r
son had position as messenger, but his
mother kept him awake so much nights
that he had to give it up. The mort
gage on the house was foreclosed yester-
day, and nothing remains for the family
but the street.
