New Postal Cards.

An instalment of 100000 of the postal cards
from the new contractor arrived at the city
postofice at Washington Tuesday. The new
cards differ considerably from the old in ap-
pearance. The size is exactly the same. The
design is printed in a light brown color. In
stead of a head of goddess of lib erty in a
vignette, in the corner appears a fine engray-
ing of Jefferson's head. Instead of the mon
ogram ~. S." the new card has on it the
words UNITED States" printed at length.
On the address side of the new card are
printed the words Nothing but address to

full friends had provided bountiful supply
of food, together with coffee and chowder,
and where the day was joyfully spent by the
youngsters playing on the sands and ram
bling through the woods We understand
that some of our merchants and others are
making an effort to provide sufficient funds
to enable Rev. S. J. Pearson to carry on this
much needed home institution, which is do
ing much good among the poor of our city.

Mountains, through the Crawford Notch,
via the Maine Central and Portland & Og-
densburg railroads, from all the towns on

The New Hampshire Insurance Law.

To the Editor Of the Press:
In your paper this morning, you speak of
the ubiquitous valued policy law" of New
Hampshire. Let us see where the iniquity
comes in. As l understand it this law COM
pels insurance companies in case of loss, to
pay the sum which the policy calls for. In
Maine, no matter what sum the policy calls
for, the company pays only the value of the
building destroyed. That is, my house is
insured for $780, and l have never estimat-
ed its worth at less than that sum. In fact,
think 1t worth much more. 1t is burned.
The company produces witnesses, who prove
that was mistaken, and that the house was
worth but $4,000. can recover but that sum.
have for many years paid premium on
$500, all in vain l have given the money TO
the company.
Now the New Hampshire law says to the
company, you shall not go along, year after
year, collecting a premium on $4,000, when
your insurance covers only $4,000. The I'M
derwriter and the person whose property is
value of the, building, or have it
decided for them. Why not make
that decision when the insurance is eff
fected, when the building can be seen and
examined rather than wait until tie building
has been turned to ashes. An insurance
company can insure a building only with its
own knowledge, and if it insures for more
than the actual value, it does so either will
fully or negligently. The valued policy law
proceeds upon the theory that if the compa-
ny wilfully and knowingly persists in insur-
ing property for more than its value, it per-
petrates a fraud upon the insured for the
sake of the premium, or if it does so negli-
gently it is in fault, and in either case the
payment of the excess is penalty which
the company must pay for its own fraud or
neglect, but is a penalty which any company
may avoid if it will ascertain the actual val
ue of the property at the time it issues the
policy.
You speak about damage by lightning. My
house in Deering was damaged by lightning
last summer, but the company shields itself
from responsibility under one of the fine
print conditions which almost every policy
is covered with for the purpose of nullify-
ing, as far as possible the contract it enters
into. | think it is the experience of most
persons who have suffered loss by fire, that
the insurance companies will avail them
selves of any possible bubbles or technical
tiles to avoid payment of loss, or to reduce
the sum as low as possible, and / fail to see
why they should be allowed to keep the
doors open for such evasions.
Let them see to it that they make such a
contract that they can justly stand to it or
let them suffer the penalty G. c. H.
