Art i'm Draining.

The question of how to drape curtains is
an important one. One artist said {:
Everything should hang straight at The
Sides" Another favored festoons and
ends, or. in technical Darlance, "sways
and tails" and third favored "draped
lambreQuins." However the artistic eye
may design a particular Grapery, there is
one great, important fact, too sllghtingly
treated by many h0usekeepers. This is,
perfection in hanging. draper Is justas
exact in measuring and placing curtains
as the carpenter is in hanging his door.

RATES MODIFIED.
Chicago Underwriters Decide Upon
Immed date Reductions,


CHICAGO. Oct. 11.-Insurance rates on
buildings in the downtown business dis
tries were modified considerably by the
Chicago Underwriters Association at the
meeting last evening. Under the rate
put into effect on February 90 last the
schedules we're advanced % per cent over
the old mercantile rates. Then, il il was
found that this increase was ineouitable
and placed a higher rate on any given
risk than was proper. the assured was al
lowed rebate. The rule was only to APP
ply until the new schedules could be COM
pleted. The association has been working
on these new schedules for nine months,
but they are not completed satisfactorily
vet
Meanwhile the rebates we're tumbing
into the offices of the association at an as
tonishing rate, and il became evident that
something must be done and that right
speedily. Therefore, the association de-
clded TO reduce the advance on the old
mercantile rate from % to 10 per cent, hut
to make this a temporary rate until the
schedule can he arranged.
The lumber trade secured another brief
respite, the report of the executive COM
mittee recommending several changes in
the rates applying to lumbe being or
dered printed and distributed for consid-
Grafton. Lumber risks will be thoroughly
oyerhauled at the meeting next Friday
afternoon. The report of the executive
committee will probably be adopted. In
this case heavy increases will be put on as
pen alties for lum Der which is piled too

THEIR SAVINGS GONE.
Miners Regret the Trust They Had In

New YORK, Oct. 1L-Scan d avian
miners and other labOrers of that nation
atty are greving over the loss of the
money they have been saving for years
money that they had instructed to the care

has been doing business for years at 81
State street. The concern has collapsed

assets. SJos,rom, it appears. has been
doing general banking business for
about ten years. He solicited the saw
iDgs of the men from the time they landed
10 this country. promising to pay them 5
per cent. The miners in Pennsylvania
sent him portion OF their salaries every
month, and he was or should have been
growing very rich. The depositors had
only receipts to show for their money. 1t
is said that he knew his concern was
going to collapse last June, and yet he
continued to receive deposits. He sailed
away that month for Sweden, where he is
now supposed to be. leaving the Office in
charge of large woman, supposed to be
his wife. She was notified by the Swed-
ish Consul during the latter part of Sep
tembe that she must not receive any more
deposits, and the Office has now been
closed up by his order.

Sam Rainey Appears as a
Purist.
The Conventions Having Been Held
the Firemen Are Ordered to
Keep Out of Politics.

The members Of the Fire Department
who are able to locate joke without a
diagram were convulsed with merriment
yesterday over an order issued by their
lord and master Rainey. 1t is true that
the great humorist's name was not signed
TO the command, but they recognized the
spirit OF mirth that peTvaded it as his
and his alone. 1t was the biennial order
enjolning them from taking an active
part In the precinct registration that conn.,
mences next week, and in the election that
is TO be held in November.
just before the Republican primaries
were held the firemen received orders to
refrain fIom influencing the returns in any
way. RaiDey recognized these primaries
as the sole property of his excellent friend
Colonel ID. NJ. Burns, the Police Commits
sioner.

were Instructed to keep their hands off

The primaries and the conventions hav-
ing been held, Mr.. Rainey decided that it
was time to restrain the frantic desire of
his men to do politics, and the following
order was accordingly issued yesterday
morning:
To the Members Of the Fire department:
No member of tins department shall either
directly or indirectly take any part whatever in
The precinct registration commencing on the
Iotn INST, or IN the next general election, other
than to exercise his right of suffrage, and all
Nuch members are strictly prOh blted from re-

lily OF any such places OF registra ion, or in or
