The State Insurance commissioner has
decided that the Fidelity and Casualty
Insurance Company Of New York il enti-
tied to do more than one kind OF business
in that state in spite Of the protest OF the
Lloyd Plate Glass Company OF New York.
The argument was made that certificate
could not issue to the Fidelity company
under the reciprocal law of that state, but
Commissioner Shandrew holds that he is
empowered to give wide Interpretation
OF the law, especially whea the interests OF
the state are concerned, and in justice to
the company, which, has built up a large
business after many years OF honorable
service, he has refused to acknowledge the
protest submitted by the Lloyd's attor.
neys. and issued the necessary certificate
to the Fidelity company.

a New Chicago Near singa-
pore.

Carter Harrison, Chicago's celebrated
ex.mayor, is touring about the East,
and has just discovered an island,
which he took possession of and
named after his home city. The
island is situated just outside OF the
equator, and the versatile tourist
describes the manner of christening
it: We thought it probable that we
were the first white men whose feet
had ever trod this land. Why not
take possession of it in the name of
the United States? But we had no
flag. We attempted to improvlse one.
We cut strips OF red and blue paper,
in which our wine and beer bottles
were wrapped. We pinned these to
large sheet OF white paper, but we
could not make the stars. Luckily |
had in my satchel II piece of paper
with the Chicago seal and motto
printed upon it. We fastened it to
our flag. But this was hardly Uncle
Sans ensign. We resolved this
should, for the time being, at least, be
the Chicago flag. We fastened it to a
Tree quite securely. linen we all TOOK
pull at a claret bottle and poured
some upon the soil, called the island
Chicago and formally took posses
sion of it in the name OF our proud
city. To seal the matter we fired a
volley OF twenty-four shots from our
two revolvers and the little two
barreled derringer. We left the flag.
Long may it stick to the far-off Chi.
