A glance at the table will show how
much less the losses of 1894 are than
those of 1893 or even 1892. When the in
crease in nsurable value in the country,
and particularly the decided and general
advances in fire insurance rates, is con-
sidered, il is not strange that the fire in
surance statements now being published
should confirm our predictions of last
month as to liberal profits.
A large portion of the fire loss Of the
country is preventable. but there is de-
plorable apathy of public sentiment upon
this point. In spite of the fact that this
apathy is responsible for fire loss and re-
sultant expensive insurance, poor or
crooked fire marshals are permitted to be

Were every premium payer to have the

just as he was paying his premium, the

GODS ESTIMATE OF MAN.
Its Comparison With the Different
Views Taken by Men Themselves.

Kew A. NJ. Williams of Wesley NIonu-
mental church preached an ''up-to-date
sermon last night on the subject "Da-
vas Surprise at Gods Estimate of Man"
Kew. Mr. Williams took his text from
Psalms Wills, What is man that thou
art mindful Of him?"
David, he said. was accustomed TO see
ing man viewed by his fellow man, ana
Ius estimate placed on one man BY an
otneF. He spoke of mans value in =
uliIitafy sense where In his desire for
conquest he reaches out for greater DOW
eT. II is in this connection that man has
always been looked on as a sort of ma
chine or instrument to be used bv the
SIedt solQler or general, a thing to shoot
and be shot at.
Next, he said. the politician looks on man
as being not TO be built up and whose
interests should be developed in the high
est ana truest sense but as a thing to be
Hattered and cajoled and to aid him IN
saIIihs ana retaining power and infiu-
ence. IN the Industrial world the earii-
est pohtcal economists looked on man
as q power In increasing the national
MedItn. The scientist and the philoso-
phef, ne said, looked on man as most
insignificant being comparing the world
IN the vast extent of creation to a leaf
III 9he Forest with its numerous infnitesi-
MAJ insects, and consequently he views
the thought of the destruction of the world
III the same manner as the destruction Of
Such leaf with its microscopic popu-
lation. He spoke, too, of the low estimate
man puts on himself in his pleasure seek
ing and frivolity.
When David saw these different esti-
mates placed on man that put on him by
me creator was a surprise to him. Even
taxing a materialistic view of il there
Is nothing In creation as far as we know
that equals the creation of man. MADE
as he Is in Gods own image and given
dominion and power over all things in the
world, over science, government and ed
ucation in all its forms and branches
He spoke of Gods estimate of man in
the sacrifice of his son for the human race.
ana said if God place such an estimate
a personal standpoint, appreciate their
own manhood. Men should also place
some such estimate on their fellow men
ana apply themselves to elevate mana
condition. They should appreciate a God
that mas such conception of man and

the First Estimate.

The loss by the fire of Tiedeman & Bro.
will be considerably less than was esti-
mated yesterday morning. The Messrs.
Tiedeman have found, after careful sur
vey of their stock, that practically the
entire damage was confined to the first
floor. no water having been thrown upon
the upper floors, and the smoke having
done little damage there. The stock of
teas on the second floor appears to be
about the only thing that was dam
aged on that floor
Mr.. l. B. Tiedeman said that he thouehr
the loss on the stock would fall consider
ably under $4,000, the figure estimated the
night before. The total insurance on the

AT THE PORT SOCIETY.

OLD SUBSTANCES THE BEST.
Chairman DaIe's Investigations of
Materials Used in Road building.

Materials Used in Road building.
Chairman ]. j. Dale of the county COM
missioners has been taking quite an ac-
tive interest in the matter of road i'm
provements, and has been investigating
the various substances suggested for the
purpose Of making good roads lie has
in his office samples of different sub
stances which have been recommended.
He recently made a practical test of the
subs lance called hematite, which has been
recommended for roads, but finds that
when made into a powder and dampened,
instead of hardening il crumbles after
drying and becomes the same powder
that it was before being wet Another
substance which has been recommended
TO him Is pyrites screenings. which are in
the shape of small hard pebbles, and
aside from the fact that other substances
are found better for roads than this its
cost in comparison with them almost en-
tirely precludes its use. Another sample
is a clayey rock, which seems to crum-
bic into soft clay.
Mr. Dale does not believe that any of
these substances could be economically
used on the roads in this section. When
ii comes TO making good roads Mr.. Dale
says the old materials which have been
known to stand the test of time are the
best and these are rock and shell. He
says. however, he has looked into the
ebert question and he finds this about as
good an article as could be used for roads
provided it could be brought here cheap

PHOSPHATE THROUGH SAVANNAH.
Five ships Coming to Take Away
About 10000 Tons of Florida Rock.


Vessels will cary abroad from Savan-
nah this month something like about
10000 tons of Florida phosphate rock
The shipments last month reached very
nearly to this figure. All of this phos-
phate comes from the mines of the High
Springs district. which have been work
ing right along despite the apparent dull
ness of the market and the reduction in
price.
The reports that come from Florida now
are very encouraging. The mines of the
association which are outside the High
Springs district. it is said, have accom-
plished the objects for which they stopped
their operations, namely an increase in
the price to a point where they could
make expenses and a profit, and are now
working again The mines of the High
Springs district, however, have had large
orders and have been shipping the rock
abroad right through Savannah for the
last four months in larger volumes than
has been the case before in years.
There are now 1000 tons of phosphate
rock on the wharVes of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway for which
five ships are 10 be loaded this month
at these wharves, and they are now on
their way to Savannah to get the rock.
This rock is being shipped out of Florida
every day.
The five ships now on their way here
will carry to Europe about 1900 tons
alone One of them will take $500 tons,
two of them will carry 50, ZOO tons each,
another 200, and another 1900. These
figures show that the phosphate ship
ments through this port have been for
some time on the upward trend. 1t is
a fact however, that some of the ship
ments have been made on orders that
were taken some time ago. The miners
in the High Springs district say they have
found it profitable to carry on the in
dustry despite the fact that prices were
apparently depressed to point below the
cost of production. Now that the price
has advanced, it is likely that the out
put will be heavier.
