The Sunday tatler and Jersey City express. (Jersey City, N.J.) 1883-1886, 1885-06-07

To people who delight in spreading sem
sational reports, probability is of very little
account. Thus, some fellow with more
imagination than sense recently started a
report that the insurance companies in
tended suing the city of Hoboken for tho
damages they sustained one Sunday about
month ago, when few rowdies created q
disturbance at fire. The story was bad
enough, but that the insurance companies,
or their agents, should be at the trouble to
deny its truth is even more incredible. No
such action would lie-though the man who
started the story not only would, but did,
Even if the fire had been the result of
riot, the county would have to be joined;
but as it resulted from an accident, even
the absolute refusal of the fremen to work
could not have made the city liable, though
it might have furnished the companies an
excuse for refusing to pay the claims. But,
as matter of fact, the firemen were not to
blame, the responsibility resting with the
rowdy element that always follows in the
wake of volunteer department. But the
idea involved in the story under considera-
ton could never find recognition in the
courts. for that would be to establish the
principle that city fire department is
mere adjunct of the insurance business,
and to suppose that the public can be taxed
for individual benefit is such arrant nom
sense that we wonder it did not stagger
even the chronic idiot who set this story
aAoat for the wonderment of Hoboken
gossips

A story that was brought to light in New
ark, by the CAL of that city last Sunday
morning, suggests some very much needed
changes in the State Insurance laws. A
man named McKenna died. He had at one
time had policy ON his life, the premium
on which was ten cents week. It had
lapsed, however, because he had failed to
pay the premium. woman named Down.
ing, who did not know McKenna learned of
the lapse and took it upon herself to pay
the premium and keep the policy alive.
McKenna had brother of whom Mrs.
Downing knew as little as she had known
of the dead man. She took out policy on
his hfe too, and paid the weekly premium
upon it. In neither case did the insured
man know that Mrs. Downing or any one
else held such policy. The natural en-
quiry is how these policies could have been
issued without the knowledge of the Nc
Kenna's. An insurance policy presupposes
an examination of the insured, with a view
to determining whether his body is sound
enough to Justify risk. 1t transpires that,
under the rule established by that insur-
ance company, Metropolitan it is
called, lit is not necessary for a physician
to examine man or woman, seeking insur-
ance for an an on 1t that calls for a weekly
premium of only ten cents. The Sunday Call
quotes one woman as having said she had
policies of that kind upon the lives of sew
eral persons whom she did not know, and
that they had been issued and were being
kept alive without their knowledge. If any
law on the statute books countenances this
species of graveyard insurance, it should
be repealed as soon as possible. If law is
needed to put an end to it, it should be
enacted as soon as possible. No man is safe
if the insurance companies can permit any,
body who sees fit, to acquire an interest in
his death, without his knowing thing
about it.

If Bayonne really has eighty-four un-
licensed saloons, as is publicly as
serted, it is about time the Common
Council of that city put itself on the
war path ard painted some of the IL
legal places deep cardinal red. For city
to compel one man to pay license and
allow his neighbor to sell without paying
the same tax is simply to obtain money on
false pretences, q view of the case which
we cheerfully commend 10 the consider
alton of the Bayonne Aldermen.

A Correction for the Davltts.

Editor Sunday Tdttler:
In the last Sunday TArTLHR issued you
erroneously stated that the Hibernia Rifles
left st. Johns Hall on Decoration Day to
decorate the graves of their deceased mem
bers. Please correct the mistake by stating
that the Davitt Rifles and not the Hibernia
Rifles left said hall, and decorated the
graves of their deceased members, and also
these of Irish Nationalist who spent their
lives working for the freedom Of Ireland.
Yours respectfully,
ALEXANDER McCURNIN,
Captain.

He Didn.t 60 Through.

A few days ago the members of Engine
Co. No. 9, located at the corner of Bergen
and Duncan avenues, reached the conclu-
sien that sliding pole was the correct
thing. To those who don't know anything
about it, it is only necessary to say that a
sliding pole is an excuse for walking do n
stairs. You just catch hold of the pole, and,
in the words of an old member, .syou are
there" Not wishing to saddle the Fire
Board with the expense, citizens in the
vicinity were invited to step to the front.
1t isn't necessary to hold out hat in that
portion of Jersey City, and the scheme was
no sooner developed than work was under
way. A large hole was cut through the
bedroom flooring. On Saturday morning
it was reported about that Fireman Steele
had arisen from his bed during the previous
night and wandered over to the newly-cut
gap, and caught hold of the mythical pole.
Not having grip enough to hold on to moth
ing, of course trouble was bound to follow,
and when, on Saturday, Foreman Archibald
called at the house. he was told to sscatch
on" to Hens bruised face. Fireman Steele
had lack eye, and the story that he had
went through, rapidly spreading, when it
was learned that the cut was secured in his

DIDN'T SHE "rAKE," THERE.

Are England and France so very
immoral, or is the following the result
of lack of appreciation" for the
"California diamond?"
Lolita, the California actress, who
recently returned from an extensive
engagement in Europe, said to New
York reporter the other day: "'rhings
have reached such a pass in France
that an actress cannot raise laugh
unless she is vulg gar. ! am
glad to say that vulgarity doesn Wake
in this oou"try. Morally this country
is as much ahead Of England as Eng.
land is ahead Of France. You can al.
ways judge of the morals Of country
by the morals Of the stage. The moral
condition Of the English stage is scme.
thing friehtsul. 1t borders on moral
lep,osy."
Lolita must have thought Of Idaho
when she spoke Of this country. But
it is rough on England and France
very rough on them.
