A Good Record.

A reporter of the PosT-INTELLIGENCER
happened to drop into the Home lnsur-
ance Company's office yesterday, and
found Mr.. A. b. Stewart, vice president of
the company, in conversation with Mr..
ID. A. Spencer, secretary and manager.
The conversation drifted on the fact that
a great many Pacific coast companies were
reinsuring and retiring from the field. In
answer to the query whether or not there
was any probability of the Home follow
ing their example, Mr.. Stewart SAID: THE
Home started business a short time be-
fore the memorable fire of June 9th, 1889
Immediately following the fire it paid
$50. 600 cash for losses and did not ask a
dime reduction from anybody. lmmedi-
ately following this we increased our capi-
tai stock from $1,000 to $4,000 and went
into the field for business. The directors
have FULLY indosed Mr.. Spencer in his idea
of conducting safe. conservative insur-
ance business on strictly business princi-
MES. and we have never had an honest
loss that has not been paid dollar for dol
lar the moment it was adjusted. With
such a record can you wonder that we feel
proud of our company, o. that Its stock
holders answer emphatically no when
YOU suggest our following the example OF
California and Oregon companies 7"

and generally had it. Frank 7. Mitchell
and Matte Mitchell, brother and sister of
Alice, testified at some length, hut in no
way differing from stories already told.
The deposition of DR.. Comstock. of st.
Louis, was then gone over again, and
Judge Dubois wanted to know where the

clear. Adjourned.

Fiscal Reform in Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO, July 2l.-The new term
of Office of President Diaz, which begins
in December, will in all probability be
characterized by important fiscal reforms,
including economies in administration,
the cutting off all expenses not absolutely
necessary. the lowering of customs duties.
especially on raw material, and generally
with view to encouraging the importa-
ton of goods in the line of universal
demand. The policy of the financial de-
partment has hitherto been to increase the
tariff, this being considered the easiest way
to secure funds for meeting the growing
expenses of the government. Reciprocity
is reg arded as an immature luxury not at
present to be considered.

CHARGED WITH CRUELTY.
Attorney A. F.. Isham Sued for Divorce
on Very Serious Grounds.


Mrs. Mary Ann Isham brought suit for
divorce yesterday from Alfred L. Isham, a
LAWYER of this city, charging cruelty and
neglect. According to her complaint they
were married in 1876, at Walla Walla, and
four children have been born TO them. She
alleges that her husband has refused sup
port for herself and the children with the
exception of some very small sums. She
alleges that he is addicted to the use of in
toxicating liquors and morphine and while
under their influence has made life a burden
10 her. She is a dressmaker by vocation
and his prosecutions have kept her from
attending to business properly. She says
he has not only struck her with his fist
and with cane, but has gone so far as to
call her vile names in the presence of her
children and others. She charges that on
the night of July 1. she was compelled to
lock herself and the children in the bed
room to escape his violence.
She not only asked for a decree of
divorce, but for the custody of her chill
dren and for 800 slimony month for
their care She also sought for an iniunc-
ton to keep her husband from interfering
with her.
Judge Humes issued a temporary re-
straining order and set the hearing of the
Injunction for August /. before Judge
Lichtenberg.

secure divorce from w. f. Stevens on the
