HOW SOUTHERN WOMEN RIDE.

In this country the Southerner is the
most constantly in the saddle, and good
rider in the sunny South is thoroughly
good rider. But have often wondered at
the number of poor ones it is possible to
find in localities where everybody moves
about in the saddle. Many men there,
who ride all the time, seem TO have ac-
quired the trick of breaking every COM
maudment in the decalogue OF equitation.
Using horses as mere means OF trans
portation seems sometimes to reduce the
steed to simple beast Of burden,

to sit in a saddle as you would in an OK
cart.

triennes in the South than anywhere else
than even in England. Although the
Southern woman refuses tOsride the trot,
she has proper substitute for ii, and her
seat is generally admirable. Though
greatly admire n square trot well ridden
in a side saddle, il is really the rise on
this gait which makes so many crooked
female riders among ourselves and our
British cousins. This ought not TO be SO
but ladies are apt to resent too much Sc

The Payne Memorial at Tunis.


When the remains OF John Howard
Payne, author of Home. Sweet Home"
We're brought to this country two years
ago for refinement in Oakhill Cemetery,
Georgetown, the slab that had covered
the grave in the cemetery of st. George,
Tunis where Payne had been buried thirty
years before, was also brought to Ameri-
lea and the spot that had been for many
years the shrine Of all English visitors to
Tunis was left unmarked. When Mr.
Corcoran, who had defrayed the expense
Of bringing home the remains of the dead
poet and OF placing over his new grave an
appropriate monument, heard OF the neg
lected appearance OF the tirst grave and
that the friends of Payne in Tunis felt a
deep regret that ut least the simple old
slab had not been left over the empty
tomb, he authorized John WorthingtOn,
United States Consul at Malta, to have
constructed a suitable memorial and to
place it in the cemetery at Tunis. This
Mr.. Worthington has had done, and the
result is announced in letter to MIR. Cor
c0ran in which Mr.. WOrthington says:
''The whole monument stands seven feet
and one inch in height. The material is
the close-grained, very hard and durable
'ZancOr' stone found on this island. It's
color is grayish yellow, the prevailing
tone being soft gray. It's surface is
finely polished but without glare. On the
front is clearly carved: In memory of
JOhn Howard Payne, author of "HOme,
Sweet Home," born June 8. 1871, died
April 9, 1892 and on the four sides of the
base are carved the lines:
"'Sure when thy gentle spirit fed
To realms beyond the azure dome,
with arms Outstretched. Gods angel said,
"Welc0me 10 Heavens home, sweet home 4"

similar to the arms of the Department OF
State. carved in round relief in marble
and let into the side of the shaft. On the
left of the shaft is this sentence: Then be
content, poor heart"

Waco Local Notes

WACO, Feb. 3.-[Special. The loca-
ton OF the federal building has been the
topic Of discussion to-day, even the city
fathers devoting some attention TO it.
BY tho call Of the mayor, a meeting OF
the council was held this afternoon to
ascertain If the city can do anything in
the way of rendering a site. Public
opinion iavors the center Of the vast and
uno coupled plaza or public square, but
1t IL doubtful if the city or county gov
eminent can make good title to that
property. The matter will doubtless be
settled tomorrow.
The fist Of the series of new public
school buildings, one for each Of the
i've wards Of the city, was completed
and formally accepted by Ihe commit
tee to-day. They are all of brick, and
cost the city 5000 apiece. This will
SNOW what Waco is doing in the way OF
public education.

INSURANCE ATuRe

As was minated in the HERALD a
few days since, there is considerable
feeling at Austin on the subject of in
surance. The insurance mon have been
FESTIVE under the laws passed four years
ago, and desire modification of them,
whilst SENATOR HOUSTON, of Bexar,
has introduced bill which, they say, if
passed, would drive them out OF the
state. This bill would admit of no adj
justment, but compel the company to
pay the full and exact amount named in
the policy, regardless Of decrease of
yaluo. 1t would also inhibit the
Introduction of any conditions in
the policy, and force the company
to pay the full amount of policy within
thirty days, or be subject to damage
claim of IL per cent. as interest and the
same per cent for attorney fees, IL suit
be brought.
This is very radical view of insur-
ance, nor will 1t be adopted, wo think,
but shoYs TO what extremes the anti
corporation prejudice may be carried.
So far from making money in Texas
during the last year the companies paid
out sl.25 for every 500 they received,
and nearly in the same proportion the
year before. Insurers say the rate
of fire waste in Texas was
sl2 on the $1,000 and is
greater than that of any stats in the
union. In New York it is only $3.50 on
the $1,000. When the Legislature
and courts, under the construction Of
existing laws, permit q man to make
money by the burning of his property
as may be 80 readily done, tho insurers
insist that a premium on arson Is offered
by which not only they have to suffer
unjustly, but the contiguous property
owners who may be burned out, to
speak nothing Of possible life destruc-
ton. The leading principle Of lnsur-
ance should be indemnity, not reward,
for that would simply amount to
q premium and wager, and
encourage crime. No inducement
should BIO hold out for arson, for many
human natures are weak-very weak
indeed on the money question-and IL
would be unjust TO communities and in
dividuals. Tho true principle is to per-
init only an insurance on . proportion
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1885-02-04

ate amount of the value of the property
insured. Then there is mutually be-
tween policy holders and the companies
that Will eventuate in the great public
good of decreasing the percentage of
IRE waste. This should be the broad
view of those who legislste for the state.
But some of those opposed to the COM
panies say they should determine upon
the value of the property at the time;
that it Is their own fault if they don't,
etc. Any one acquainted with the mode
of insurance understands the fallacy of
this argument. 1t would simply result
in greater rates of insurance and take
no regard of the reduction of value. Be-
sides, the matter, especially in the case
of stocks Of goods, would have to be left
almost entirely with the parties insur-
ing. Gould an agent take an inventory
of stock of merchandise or carpenters
agree upon the value of house years
after it was originally valued? The idea
OF honest insurance being to pay GER
tain proportion so as TO discourage loss to
the public at large or imposition upon
| themselves, it would seem that the sys-
tenn of adjusting the value of what was
destroyed is better than that of taking
an inelastic insurance, which would
present strong temptations TO the
owners OF depreciating property.
| Just why the companies should not be
allowed to make contracts as to the
conditions upon which they may insure
is not visible to the naked eye. 1t is a
privilege accorded all other corpora
tions and individuals, unless the con-
tract should be against public policy or
an invasion OF rights under some state
franchise. The companies contend that
full insurance is much more akin to vi
olation of public policy.
| If all men we're honest there would be
no question az to adjustment of losses,
nor is there but little when the company
agrees to pay Yet is there a merchant,
professional man or even farmer whom
the law would compel TO act on the pre-
sumption in his dealings with his tel
bowman that he must implicitly rely on
his statement unsupported and often
attended by suspicious circumstances?
Insurance is public necessity in this
age. Itshoud be treated in its relation
ship with the public by the law making
power. Like public education it
should be regulated and controlled, and
above all with its reference to public
morals. So far, then, from increasing
the possibilities of crime and the
temptations thereto, especial care
should be taken to prevent and
prohibit such inducements to wrong
being offered. No other mode
can be conceived of than that of
makingit it to the interest of men
not to fire their property, In this way
rates would become much less, the nee
essity for insurance sensibly diminish,
and the property of the state saved by
millions each year from destruction.
Last year the loss by fire in the state
amounted to $3,0O0,0OO. OF this, compa-
MES paid 100000 and tho balance was
dead loss If the ideas of the in surance
men prevail they claim reduction of
the fire waste OF more than one-half the
first year.
