WANTS HIS PRErIUM.
mIchalitschke Made No Money on
His Life Policy.


Joseph Michalitschke has filed suit in
the Superior Court 10 recover $500 pre-
MUM paid to the New York Life Insur-
ance Company under representations al
legged to have been false.
The complaint alleges that the plaintiff
took out policy Of life insurance in the
sum of $4,000, on the representation OF
the company's agent that the cash value
Of the policy in fifteen years would be

Michalitschke says that he believed these
statements TO be true, and on july 27 1892.
be took out his policy, and paid $500 as
his first annual premium. Shortly after
ward he discovered that he had been mis-
lea, ana that the cash value of all policies
was dependent upon the earnings of the
company, which a no time had done such
business as to Justify the representations
made 70 him by the company'S agent.
On this account. therefore, he sought to
cancel his policy. and demanded back
from the company the $500 already paid.
The company ignored his request, and

RAMiE'S CHANCE.
A Final Effort Is Made
in It's Behalf.
Blanks for Popular Subscriptions to

Whether the ramie industry will amount
to anything in California for years to
come, at least, will depend entirely on the
enterprise of the people having the State S
welfare at heart. Hitherto efforts TO or
ganize corporations for the manufacture of
ramie have not met with any degree of
encouragement. probably because the en-
terprise would have TO deal with new
quantity which might SAVIOR very much
OF an experiment. But test is now in
progress. and ultimate success may be the
result.
A thousand copies of subscription lists
will be circulated by 5. Ii. Slaught for the
object OF prom oting of ramie manufacture
ing in San Francisco aud at the Midwinter
Exposition. The plan selected is to secure
By popular subscription at least $4,000 to
buy plant OF machinery by which ramie
can be put through the various processes
of preparation. and finally woven into
brocades. dress cloths, tapestries, ETC., at
the Midwinter Fair. Ii tue people of Cal
ifOrnia saw what can be done with ramie,

supporters, a mandatory be established,
and farmers find another opportunity for
making money.
