YOU PAY, NOT They.
Ways of the New York County
Cooperative Fire Insurance Go.
Rent, Salaries and Other Expenses
Paid, but Losses Never.
President Kcmpe Chcerfully Gives
Away Most Brazen Game.

The explanation OF the way IN which
the New York County Cooperative Fire
Insurance Company. OF 2SJ Broadway, Is
conducting it's business at present, as
given by President NJ. Kempe, is quite
an interesting one to holders Of the Com
pany's policies, who are likely to call the
attention of the State authorities to the
manner in which 1t is conducting its
business.
President Kempe last Saturday stated
to one of the Company's clients. local
fire loss adjust,r and an Evening
World' reporter that his Company was
practically insoyent; that there was an
indebtedn 'ss of $4,000 due by the Com
pany on fire losses, which could not be
met, and that while he admitted the
Company's inability to pay losses 1t was
still accepting risks and receiving the
cash for premiums.
Still more interesting was President
Kempe's statement that any money paid
in for premiums was used not to pay off
back losses. but applied to pay office
rent and office salaries, his president
kempe'S among the latter. President
kempe also said that probably the Com
ing, to be held early in August, decide
to 20 out of business.
The condition of the Company was
brought out by the demand OF Irwin &
Dennison, manufacturers of white
goods, at 2S6 to 900 Graham street,
lsrooklyn. for the payment of loss OF
$3.50 to their machinery and stock. which
were damaged to that extent by fire
July last June 90. 1894. Irwin & Denni-
son took out IA fire insurance policy In
the Company for $500 through e. D.
Hawkins, the Company's agent. at 1ss
Montague street. Brooklyn, who assured
them the Company was perfectly sound
and to whom they paid $3.50 premium
receiving the policy In return and re
orr a fire loss adjuster, with Sedden 4
Rice. OF 2O6 Broadway, the firm made a
demand Cor the money.
President kempe offered to settle the
$3.50 loss for $50, which Is just $3.50 more
than the amount of premium they paid
namely SAG so. President. Kempe's Offer
was taken under considerat ton by the
firm until they, near from the mortga'

INITIATED ALL RIGHT.
Then Actor Craven Was Black

According to the story that Is going
around among the actors on the Rialto.
Walter Stokes Craven, playing with one
of Augustin Days companies, was re-
Gently initiated into the mysteries Of the
Royal Arcanum and subsequently black
balled through a mistake Of the officers.
Actor Craven applied for admission
to "Our Council 252, which meets at

Mr. Craven had passed the medical
examination, and his name was 10 be
con sidered for election.
Previous to the time of the meeting,
Craven made arrangements to leave the
city with Days company. HIS appllca-
ton was then transferred from our
Council to council in Brooklyn. He
was regularly initiated there and started
on the road.
When the members of "Our Council
| met they were told that Craven was to
! be elected there, although he had been
| initiated by another Council. The mem
bers were indignant at an applicant
having been initiated before being
elected and, in consequence. blackballed
Craven.
1t is said now that the officers at the
next meeting will try to adjust the mat
ter and straighten out the complications.
II Actor Craven should refuse to join
the Royal Arcanum now, matters would
become still further mixed up, as he is
