Ay Prior to 1910 fire underwriting in this eo,ln-
l try paid profit and companies prudently
tald by surplus to meet extraordinary
losses. From 1910 to 1880 numerous compa-
MES were formed, and rates were so reduced
that many were compelled to use their sur
plus In payment of dividends. During this
period the profit did not average three per
cent From 1880 to 1850 the whole amount Of
premiums received in the United States and
Canadas, with many millions of capital be-
sides, was required to meet losses. AS a net
result, the business from 1891 to 1850 not only
paid no profit but actually made large loss
of capital.
just now we are having conventions Of all
kinds, every where; and not to be behind the
rest of the world, the insurance commission
ershad little tea-party ell to themselve,
which they called the National Insurance ~
Convention. AS to those who couldn't come,
we copy from the Chronicle
Then letters of excuse for non-attendance
from the superintendent of Maine. Rhode
Island, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, New
Jersey and North Carolina were read. The
superintendent of the latter State assigned
among other reasons for his non-attendance at
the meeting that he had only recently come
into Office, and consequently had not sufficient
r1ence or his knowledge of insurance would
have derived little benefit II he had attended
The council Of the Social Science Associa-
ton has submitted resolution to the Secre-
tary OF State for the Home Department. to
the effect that the question of inquiry into
the causes OF fires is one of urgency, and
should be considered in regard to the appoint
lnent, functions and duties Of eoroners.-[Lon-
don Review.
N n nrrn ion,
OF the Underwriters Association of the North
west, remarked in his address before the re-
cent convention of that body, that
The State owes to Insurance. that laws be
enacted providing for q judicial inquiry into
the origin OF fires. Such laws are upon the
statute books Of some OF the States, and
ought to be found among the laws OF every
state. They provide q simple and inexpen-
sive mode Of investigating the cause Of fires
and perpetuating testimony available when
the occurrence is fresh in the mind, but now
too often beyond reach on a day of trial. If
these laws were more generally adopted, we
might very soon find in them preventive Of
the crime of arson-so prevalent and yet SO
difficult Of proof.
This question of judicial inquiry is be-
coming prominent one In insurance circles.
and 1t ought to become SO withall. 1t is
matter which affects the interests of society
at large, equally with those Of the insurance
fraternity; and such inquiry would be far
more effectual than any examination institu-
TED by an Insurance company could, in the
nature Of things be. Then again such action
on the part of the company would, to the
public mind. involve an implied suspicion to-
ward the assured; whereas, If judicial in
quiry was required by law, i'm every case of
fire, no more idea of suspicion would attach,
than in cases where an official bond Is requir-
ed. Let us have the law.

A BABY WITH a HORSES FACE.

A male child four months old was
taken by its mother, Mrs. Margaret OLA
raj to the Eastern District Hospital of
Brooklyn, Oh Thursday, TO be operated
upon for malformation of the face, which
give it somewhat the APPEARANCE of
horse. An elongatlon of the nasal bones,
which swelled out towards the chin
and met the lower lip, which was thus
depressed, gave the appearance of two
large nestrils. The resemblance was in
creased by the ster.orious breathing of
the child. DIR. Brady had the infant put
under the influence of chloroform, and
in about half an hour han led the child
back TO its mother with a mouth, nose
and nostrils-an ugly looking child, but
still with thild's face. The flesh was
cut from the protuberance, and the bone
was broken off to the length of an ordi-
nary nose. The cuticle and flesh so cut
away were formed into the base of the
nose, holes being made for the nostrils.
The large cavernous opening then seen
was bridged across to make an upper llp
by joining the two cheeks. Mrs. O'Hara
said the carse of the deformity was an
ante-natal shock, received through
neighbor who was driving horse. Her
husband is laboring man, and they
have four other bright children, from two
to nine years of age. The deformed
child is a hearty, healthy infant, and it is
thought will survive the operation.-N.

Besaie ,rurntr Heard From.

Miss Bessie Turner, who figured as a
witness in the Beecher-Tilton scandal
case, and who has been on a visit to
Long Branch, has written letter to the
Long Branch News, in which she COM
plains bitterly of persecution uI)n the
part of one VIM McDermott, hack dri-
yer, who resides at Long Branch, and
who claims to be her brother. She de-
MES any relationship whatever with Nc
Dermott, while he asserts that she ac-
cepted of his hospitality and a sum of
money while staying there last summer,
riding out in his hack on many occas-
ions in company with him and at no cost
to her. The fact that McDerlnott met
Miss Turner on Tuesday while she wa;
at the Branch, and had some violent
words with her companion, and the ap-
peaiance of her letter in print, is likely
to create sensation in Long Branch.

in ~. =, m....,,, ,h,,p : nd. every
szne mar knows, bat the pretended
friends of resumption neverthsless con-
tipu1 70 base lo6grvinded afg1menB up
on the false assumption thai the entire
legal tender and bank circulation will BE-
retired, in case Of resumption, and that
Government must be prepared 70 redeem
the whole Of il. We cannot resume in
1879, IL is said, because Government
must have 750, 600 coo in coin before it
can resume, and cannot get the amount
20 5000, If ever.
The National Bank circulation is re-
deemAbIe in legal-tsnder notes. The
act Of 1875 desc not effect In any way
the duration Of the legaLtender quality;
1t dose not change in the least degree
the mode in which bank notes are To be
redeemed after January l, 1879. After
the Government has made its notes sun
outstaRdiBg as good a. coin, so that no
body cares 10 presen ut any Of them for re-
demption, the banks will sill have the
right, as they have now TO redeem their
own notes with leagle-teDders only. In
asmuch rs the bank notes are abundant
~ secured by deposit of bonds, II Is as
certain a. any future even; can be, that
there will be no disposition after redemp-
ton, more than there is now, to demand
the legaEteDders instead of the bank
n stes. All thai the baDks have 70 do Is
to provide an adequate reserve, either
legat-tsrders or OF coin. They now
hold much more than the requisite re-
serve, and know that legaLtenders will
rise to par, so that nobody wants to get
coin for Them, long before their present
Surplus of reserve can be exhausted. All
talk about the Necessity of providing for
coin redemption of the bank notes,
therefore, is either gross ignorance or
.Ornet hing MOr,e.
