From the Chronicle. we extract as to fire h
s,rance rates as follows

From the Chronicle. we extract as TO lire III
surance rates as follows:
That the present condition and future pros
poets of the fire insurance business In this
country call for the immediate AMI serious
attention Of officers and managers OF fire In.
stlrance companies, no one who Is acquainted
with tho reckless manner in which tho BUSH
ness In many instances Is now being con-
Quoted will dispute.
After the Boston fire, and in the presence of
the disastrous results that had attended it,
most of the surviving companies realized the
necessity of adopting paying rates. But when
owing to Increased rates and the absence of
large contagrations, the greedy demon OF a
rivalry devoid Of reason, sprang,, into exist.
enco between the companies The effect OF
this rivalry has been manifested In the reduc-
ton Of rates until point has been reached,
nearly forty per cent below that Mt which
rates were fixed prior to the Chicago fire.
Unless the underwriting system which is now
In operation. be abandoned. the existence Of
the companies who continue to practice 1t
must necessarily be of brief duration.
Tho companies who, like individuals, fail
to learn by experience and prepare for the
evil day, taking into consideration not only
the probabilities but the possibilities OF
events, cannot escape the consequences Of
such improvidence.
When officers Of life insurance companies
who violate their trusts, and defraud their
policy holders are brought to swift and
severe punishment; and when men who
assume the duties of commissioners of insur-
ance are made TO promptly pay the penalty
of incompetency or corruption, or both, conf
dence will be restored and business will
increase; for the people want safe Legitimate
insurance, and will buy 1t, when sure that
they will get that for which they pay. But
so long as men ignorant of the principles
and workings of insurance are made superin-
tendents of that business, by reason of
political affiliations and influence; and
so long as unprincipled officers are,
by reason of the Ignorance, or corrupt
cooperation Of commissioners, allowed
to pursue in peace their nefarious work
until tho catastrophe Is at hand and may not
be avcrted; and then are permitted to escape
all reckoning by delay after delay secured
through the imbecility or completely of public
prosecutors, who fail or neglect to bring them
to trial after Indictment, dis-trust will prevail
and business anguish. See cases of officers
of the Security Life Continental Life, etc.
All life insurance men are interested in this
matter, and will be to a certain extent judged
by the outcome. Can they bring no influence
to bear to secure the execution Of the law. and
procure the punishment Of the guilty?

A Notable Tree.

One of the notable trees of the Tuil-
cries Garden, in Paris, is an old horse
chestnut called the chestnut of the
Goth of March. Il blossomed at that
date in 1904, the day that the first Ma
poleon caused Duke d'Enghein to be
shot, and during his reign the Legiti-
mitists of the city paid yearly Pill
grimage toit on the anniversary of the
execution. The tree blossomed again
on the same day In 1915, when Napol
con reentered Paris on his return from
exile in Elba, and afterward became
an object of Pilgrimage to Bonapart-
lists during the reigns of Louis XVIII,
Charles Y, and Louis Philippe.

How Could He.

One day, just after King Solomon
had written a column of solid nonpa-
riel wise and moral proverbs, he took
his eldest son by the elbow, led him
down the back stairs of the palace,
through the back yard, past the wood
shed into the alley, backed him up
against q hitopel wood-pile, looked
warily around to see that no one was
listening, and whispered into the
young mans ear, My son, little
office in spread-eagle life insurance
company is better than a car load of
preferred stocks in the Ophir mines"
And then the monarch threw his
head on one side, drew in his chin,
shut one eye. and gazed at his off

A little girl was abandoned by her
relatives in Chicago, after the death of
her father, and she was sent to a char
liable institution. Within a few days,
two aunts, agrandfather, and cousin
applied for custody of her, and were so
strenuous that they quarrelled violent
ly. They had learned that an insur-
ance policy for $1,000 on the fathers
life was payable to the child.

An Audience of One.

Governor Joseph G. Foster, the vet
eran American manager, actor, and
author, some years ago organized a
theatrical company to play short en-
gagements In various cities and towns
of the West. They arrived at Bucy-
rus, Ohio, a small city on the Sandus-
XIV river, where bills were issued, q
hall rented, and properties engaged.
During their stay novel incident oc-
Cured. Mr.. Foster was sitting in the
hotel, (the Sims House), Eliminating,
in all probability, upon the full house
he was to have, when a stranger en-
tered the room with a bill for the
evenings performance in his hand.
"Are you the manager of the thea
tre?' asked the stranger.
II am. SIR replied Foster.
"You are to play Richard III to-
night?'
"Yes sir
81 am, and always have been, fond
of theatricals, but never had an op-
portunity of seeing Richard III
Every well, sir. come tonight
UNFORTUNATELY leave town by the
6:45 train. Now, how much money
would induce your company to
play Richard III for me this after
noon?'
Foster, thinking the stranger was
joking. replied that he would do it for
twenty-five dollars. The stranger
looked at the bill again. and inquired
what would be the extra charge for
the Rough Diamond To carry out
the joke, Foster replied ten dollars.
To his surprise the stranger pulled
his weasel counted out thirty-five
dollars, and handing 1t to him, re-
marked that he would like to have
the play commence no later than two
o'clock. Foster got the company to-
gether and related the circumstance.
The idea of playing Richard to an
oNNtChOS Vi OIlC W dS so SACcsolN6ly IL
diculous, and so new in their expert
ence, that they one and all consented.
Two o'clock came, and the solitary
audience assembled. Choosing an ell
igible position, and cooking his feet
upon the back of the seat in front of
him, he waited for the performance
to begin. The bell rang. up went the
curtain, and the play commenced.
Never did actors do better They all
exerted themselves to give their pat
ron an entertainment fully worth the
price paid for it, and they succeeded.
The stranger applauded vigorously at
different points, and at the close of
the play called the Richard, Mr..
Joseph Il. Fannin, before the curtain,
who responded in a neat little speech.
A dance and a song followed, after
which the farce of the Rough Dia-
mond' was played. The audience
laughed, roared, and applauded, aud
left in time to catch the 6:45 train.

Under the heading, The New Par
ty Movement the New York Herald
has the following:
The fact that the Republican party
was, to large extent, made up of the
old whig party, with the addition of
free soil democrats, and that the whig
element has maintained the ascend
ancy in its councils, makes no very
great change either in policy or per-
sonal surroundings necessary to turn
the republican into the whig party
The president is of whig autecedents,
and almost the whole of his cabinet
are the same. The whig policy of in
ternal improvements and protective
tariff is that to which the present re-
publican party stands committed
There is no doubt that we shall have
a reformation of parties; and the Her
aid has repeatedly declared its belief
that the president, who is a great po-
