New York fire insurance companies,
sixty-nine in number, paid out $12,975,-
$40 in the first six months of the cur
rent year, or $SSS,609 more than they
received. OF the expenditures, 81 .202,-
456 were on dividends, 100000 less
than the recent average, and deducting
the excess of outgo, profit of $780,
600 only is left on an outgo of over
$12,O0O,O00. Only nineteen of the
companies, less than a third, took in
more than they expended. These fig
ures are scarcely unexpected. The
past six months have been full of
heavy losses, and of transfers of prof
liable business from home to foreign
companies. Several New York com
panies will withdraw before the close
of the year.

The Festive six.shooter.

Wyoming has recently been a
great Sufferer, mainly through the
carrying of revolvcrs in the caboosc
of the oycralls. There is no more
need Of carrying a revolver in
Wyoming than there is of carrying
an upright piano in the coat-tail
pocket. Those who carry rovolv-
ors generally die by the revolver,
and he who agitates the six-shooter
by the siX-shootcr shall his blood
be shed. Whom a man carries a
gun he does so because he has done
or said something for which he ex-
poets TO be attacked, so it is safe to
say that wheh a man goes about
our peaceful streets loaded, he has
been doing some little trick or
other and has in advance prepared
himself for q Smith 81 Weston
matinee. The other class Of men
who suffer from the revolver com
priscs the white livered and effem-
mate parties who ought to be ar
rested for wearing mems clothes,
and who never shoot anybody ex-
cept By accident. Fortunately,
they sometimes shoot themselves
and then the foolkiller puts his
coat on and rests half AMOUR. We
have been writing these things and
obituaries alternately for several
years and yet there is no falling off
in the motality. For every man
who is righteously slain, there are
about a million law-abiding mon,
women and children murdered.
Eternity $ paraquette is filled with
people who got there by the self
cooking revolver route.
a man works twenty years to
become known as ascholar, u news
paper mn and a gentleman, while
the i|lliteratc murderer springs into
immediate notoric.y in a day, and
the widow of his victim cannot
even get her life insurance. These
things are what make people mis-
anthropic and tenacious Of their be
lief in a hell.
If re%volvers could not be sold for
less than $500 apiece with a guar
antee on the part of the yendee,
signed by good aureties, that he
would support the widows and
orphans, you would see more long
oyity lying around loose, and west
