Correspondence Of THE EVENING STAR

Fire Insurance Rates,

COMPLAINT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN RAISED
AND THE ANSWER OF AN INSURANCE MAN.
Among the letters received at The STAR
Office to-day was the following from a corre-
spondent, who signed himself "victim"
ION going recently TO renew q policy Of fire in
surance in one Of the District offices found that
the premium, which was Jorty-ei0M dollars when
the policy was taken out, had been raised to
eighty dollars. The explanation was that all the
companies in the District had entered into an
considerably higher than formerly. II $48 sufhced
TO cover the risk in the above case, and also yield
clearly a robbery. There appeared to be no re-
dress, for all the companies are bound by the same
rule. Such plundering conspiracies ought to be
broken up by law, and the formation of such ne
farious compacts prevented for the future. There
Is surely room in the District for an independent
company to carry on this business on honest prin-
ciples."
WHAT AN INSURANCE NAN SAYS
A STAR reporter showed this letter to the
secretary of one of the leading insurance COM
panies of the District, and asked him for an
explanation. He said: There has been no
increase in the rates Of insurance by the local
companies. The rate to-day on brick DWELL
ings is Is cents on 800, and that has been
the rate for years. The only explanation can
give of the statements made by The STARs
fve-year policy. Five years ago, while the
regular rate was % cents, there was q
good deal Of cutting done. Now the regula-
tions Of the board of five underwriters effectu-
ally puts stop to undue cutting. In the case
of five-year policies it was common enough to
give a rate OF 20 cents, and then give FIVE
year policy for the premium of three years.
Now suppose man with a five-year policy for
$1,000 under the cut-rate comes to have It re-
newed? The old premium was S4S. Under
present rates the premium for five years for
the same would be $50. In other words, he
n
for five years You will see that this suppose
ton exactly fits the above case, and that your
correspondent has just had fve-year policy
renewed on an insurance Of $780,"

THE CONFESSION OF GEORGE HERMANN-HE Is
HELD IN 81 900 BAIL FOR THE GRAND JURY.
Two weeks ago Messrs. Simms Grimsley,
who conduct an electrotyping establishment
at No. AT 18th street northwest, were in need
Of an apprentice boy, and through the assist
ance Of the Central Union Mission they secured
the services Of young man named George
Hermann, who represented that he had no
money, and at his request he was paid each
evening. He had been working in the estab-
lishment only one week before fire occurred
In the rooms. The flames were extinguished
before any damage was done. The proprietors
paid no attention to the matter, but when Q
second fire occurred Monday night the
suspected Hermann Of being the incen-
diary. The matter was investigated by the
detectives, but no arrest was made. Hermann,
who was in his employers debt, was discharged
Tuesday. his employers had purchased cloth
ing for him, but he had not finished paying for
1t. Nothing more was thought Of Hermann
until last night, when he entered the first pre-
cinct station and made confession. He told
the officers that his employers owed him %,
and for that reason he set fire to the place.
This morning in the Police Court Hermann,
who Is but seventeen years old, pleaded guilty
to charge Of attempted arson, and was held
In $1,000 bail forthe grand jury.
He Cor Two DoLLARs.-In the Criminal

Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1888-12-29

ticle The imports from India and Ceylon
are increasing, while the trade with
China is falling off. From the last named
country the receipts last year were III ;
600 200 pounds, against l45 900 ,0O0i in the
previous year, and from India 81 600 600,
against 70 900 900, the superior strength
of the indian teas accounting for their
popularity. The consumption of coffee
is decreasing.
In the south of France they make n
very peculiar love charm il very pecu-
liar way. Under certain ceremonies the
young woman catches and boxes up q
frog in n boz with lot of little holes
bored in the wood. The casket Is then
buried in an ant-hill for two weeks. The
ants, of course, attack the prisoner and
cat up all the flesh, and all that is left is
the creatures bones. Among these Is a
shield-shaped bone about rs large as
ones thumb nail, upon one end OF which
is little hook The girl takes this bone
and has it blessed surreptitiously by the
priest without his knowledge-that is,
she exposes it during the benediction ii
the mass-and then she hooks it on the
clothing Of her sweetheart that is to be

THE TO PUT UP THE BARS,


That was a well deserved rebuke adj
ministered by DR.. Howard Crosby to the
insolent representative of q class of
foreigners which conceives its mission to
be to revolutionize American customs
and thought The remark which called
forth Dr.. Crosby's caustic rebuke was:
The American character, as q type, is abb
solutely nothing. To us you owe all. Who was
it that first raised his voice against slavery?
Who brings the music that hath charms to
soothe the savage breast to this country? What
rights has Mr.. Smith because he happened TO be
born here? What has he done?
The reply was:
My blood boils when hear the talk of these
abominable foreigners as soon-as they sail for
this country. There are 100, 900 of these fresh
arrivals here who dare to rudely and roughly
threaten us, the American people, who want to
Ntell us what to do. We want no Mosts and
Schwabs here.
This sentiment will meet with the
hearty approval of the American people,
who are growing weary of attempts to
de-Americanize this land of ours.
The American type is something, and
when it becomes necessary to vindicate
its individuality and its prerogatives, it
will be done in n manner that will sur
prise politicians who have been accus-
toned to Pander to foreign prejudice, as
well as the objects of this debasing
truculency.
There is growing belief in the country
that the time has come to emphasize the
predomnance and the perpetuity of
American ideas in the conduct of Ameri-
can affairs.
Were congress to give heed to the
national demand another session would
mot pass without the adoption of some
restrictions upon the introduction into
this country of political incendiaries and
fanatics. These men become menaces to
the freedom of American citizenship
from the moment they land upon our
shores, giving an impetus to the demand
for q stronger government, and by
forcing limitations upon themselves,
limiting the scope of action of others.
Such men are not wanted i'll this coun-
try nor any others who are dissatisfied
with existing institutions, and'it would
do no harm to give through congress
