EXHORBITANT INSURANCE.
Correspondent Believes the Exist
ing Rates Are Too High.

Mr.. EDITOR The board of I'M
derwriters had their annual meet
ing the other day and adjourned
without assigning any valid reason
for maintaining the present sched-
ule of fire premiums. 1t seems
that the classification now in
vogue was made many years ago,
when Honolulu had an Indifferent
water supply, an inferior fire de-
partment and a much larger per-
centage of wooden buildings than
at present. Ordinary fire risks
then were 3 per cent, and so they
are now. The merchants have gone
on good-naturedly paying exhorbit-
ant rates through good times and
hard, and have cheerfully paid
their taxes for the improvement Of
such public works as, year by year,
materially lessened the risks Of the
insurance companies.
Insurance is a game of chance,
to which most of the business men
are addicted, but the Government
sanctions and legalizes it. The
Government also gives all fire in
surance companies of good stand
ing the privilege Of doing business
here and crystalizing rates. Insur-
ance is a business necessity to the
average merchant, and he would
pay 10 per cent. for an ordinary
risk if the compact required that
figure, because ne could not help
it. Rich corporations can afford
to do without insurance. In the
present order of things, with lone
of the finest" fire departments and
an abundant supply of water, it
would seem that the insurance
men ought to reduce the excessive
premiums. A SUFFERER.

Native Woman Injured.

What might have resulted in
quite a serious accident occurred
on Beretania street shortly after 6
o'clock Saturday evening. A ma
tive woman, driving a brake, at
tempted to turn out of the way of
an approaching tramcar and struck
a telephone pole in front of A. V.
Gears home. The brake was cap
sized and the woman thrown 7io-
lently to the ground on her right
shoulder and side, fortunately
without serious injury. The horse
was stopped by a young man be-
fore the animal had time to run
away.

A Queer Disease

Bagdad date mark is the name
given to a mysterious disease that
attacks nearly everyone who stays
in Bagdad for any length of time,
and is also at Aleppo and other
places in Turkish Asia, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. 1t is a sore
that comes only once, but lasts a
year, leaving a scar the shape of a
date. Nearly all the natives are
marked with it. No remedy has
been found for it, but hypo-sulphite
of soda seems to have some effect
on the mark.

SAILING DER THE WAVES.
Well Known People Enjoy Yachting.
Fishing for Sharks.

Saturday and Sunday we're spent
by yachting and shark fishing par
ties in the vicinity of Pearl Har-
Dor. A portion of the number,
among whom were L. a. Thurston,
F. NJ. Hatch, Drs. Day and Wood,
A. L. c. Atkinson and o. Sorenson,
left on the yachts Hawaii and
Edith L. late Saturday afternoon.
Baited hooks were thrown out for
sharks, but none were caught. One
fish did bite at a hook, but was
clever enough to extricate itself by
vigorous jerk, leaving a straight
ened piece of steel.
Sunday morning the yacht Bon
ME Dundee started with Messrs.
Oscar White, Henry Giles, George
Otterson, H. S. Pratt, Petrie,
Foster and others aboard. After
sailing to Diamond Head the
yacht was headed for Pearl Harbor.
Meeting the shark fishers at the
Peninsular wharf, both parties sat
down to luncheon, repairing to j.
F. Colburn's oyster beds afterwards.
The three yachts started for home
little after 2 p. m. Sunday.
Shortly afterward the Bonnie Dun
dee shipped a heavy sea, which
carried away the inner jib. Fiji
teen minutes were spent in flashing
this necessary part of the rigging.
After this delay the Bonnie Dundee
succeeded in overtaking the other
two yachts and arrived in the har-
Dor quite a little while before the
others. All hands reported fine
time.

VESSEL ON PIRE
Flames on the Steamer Iona Burn to
Death Six Passengers and the
Stewardess.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN PERISH
Alleged that thu Male Passengers
Acted in a Cowardly Manner
Scene of Horror.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-Fire broke out on
the steamer Iona from Ediuburg to
London. The flames spread with SO
much rapidity that before aid reached
the vessel six passengers and the stew
ardess of the Iona were burned to death.
The fire was put out after a four hours
struggle. The fire broke out when the
Iona was off Clackton, in the fore part
of the vessel. The passengers were
aroused and it was supposed that all
escaped from the burning cabin. While
the crew were lighting the flames the
soldiers on board assisted in lowering
the boats and supplying the passengers
with life belts. There was no wind ard
the sea was perfectly smooth. There
was, however, some excitement and con-
fusion among the passengers when it
was discovered that some women and
children were missing. The stewardess
re.entered the burning cabin to try to
rescue them, and she also persisted.
Darkness and the smoke issuing from
the burning cabin combined to make it
a terrible scene. 1t was not until three
compartments had burned that it be-
cam possible to enter the cabin, where
were discovered the charred remains of
six women and one child. Then the en-
gines were started up again and the
vessel proceeded on her way to London.
There are various rumors as to the
origin of the fire. Some passengers
allege that the male passengers acted in
a cowardly manner, seeking first their
own safety, instead of assisting women
and children into the boats.

A Plan by Which They Can BE Obtained
in Residences for $3.50 "a Month,
Manager Lane of the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone company has perfected a
plan by which the citizens of Great Falls
can obtain the benefit of telephones in
their private residences for SlS a year, or
just five cents a day. In conversation
with a TRIBUNE reporter Saturday he
said that where six persons on one line
were willing to have instruments put in
their residences on one circuit the com
pany were willing to put them in at $lS
per year. They would, however. require
a years contract with each of the six.
Toe only difference between this plan
and the present one of separate instru
meuts is that all six would ring every
time a call was made by any one of the
six. 1t would therefore be necessary 10
have separate rings TO designate each
Que. and IN a short time the owner OF an
instrument wound instantly recognize
his call from that of the other five,
1t is more than likely that a great
many private residences will take ad-
vantage of this method of obtaining
cheap telephone connection and the ad-
dition of a large number Of private resi-
dence telephones will add a good deal to
the value of those now in the places of
business besides proving a great con-
venience to businessmen and others who
will desire to have their homes connect
ed with the telephone system.

a Little Ore at Butte Meets an Unti,nely
Death.
Special to The Tribune.
BUTTE, Sept. 16.-An accident &C.
cured at 11:30 o'clock this morning at
Meaderville, by which the 2,year.old
daughter of Charles G. Griftiths, a miner
at the Boston e. Montana company, lost
her life. The parents reside in a build
ing about 300 yards northeast of the
Montana Union track. midway between
the upper mill of the Boston g. Montana
and the old Clipper mill. 1t was the
custom of the little girl, whose name
was Hazel Violet, to meet her brother on
his return from school near the track.
About noon today she noticed the boy
returning home and eagerly ran forward
to meet him. The boy was walking
down the track and the girl started to
walk along the track, when switch en-
CINE No. lOl of the Montana Union with
a load of empty cars from the hill came
laundering down behind. Engineer
Evans, who was at the throttle, was close
upon the little girl before he noticed that
she did not hear the engine. James
Davis, who was standing near the guard
rail, shouted repeatedly, he says, to the
little girl to get off the track, but she
evidently did not hear him. The engine
struck her in the back of the head, crush
ing her skull, and by the time the engine
was brought to a standstill the engine,
tender and one car had passed over the
body. Life was extinct when she was
taken from under the car. To the
brother whom she was running to meet
the sight of his sisters death was an
agonizing one. Mr.. Griffiths, the father
OF the child, is also a member of the
Boston & Montana band. Mrs. Grifiths,
who is in delicate health, is Frustrated
at the death of her child, and fears are
entertained that the shock will be too
much for her. Davis, who was standing
on the front part of the engine, is criti-
cized by some people who saw the acct
dent, for not making a greater effort to
save the child. The inquest will be held
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the
court house,

then go on about his business undis-
turbed. He didn't care whether he sold
or not, but did want to live in peace.
The people who intimated that he was
able to hoodwink or bribe the entire
community paid him an undeserved COM
pliment as to his ability, and those who
thought they could steal his property
for less than it's value had made a mis-.
take,
George Raban said that as Mr.. Phelps
had said he did not care to sell, and as
the petitioners wanted to drop the mat
ter. he thought as agreement should
early be arrived at.
Alderman Dunn moved that the ques
ton Of purchasing the water works be
Indefinitely postponed and Alderman
Fitzgerald seconded the motion. On
vote Aldermen Mitchell, Dunn and Fitz.
geral voted aye, and the other five alder
men voted nay.
On motion the council adjourned.

I'd sweep on my pinions the ether above
And saalc the vast depths Of the sky.

And the Eagle that braves the fierce storm

AS daily he circles the pole
I'd rouse up the Wolf, and the Lynx from

And the Fox I'd pursue to his hole,
Then I'd take up the Dippcr and dip up the
That Aquarius pours from his urn,
And over old Draco, though cruel 1t seem,
It's cold chilling contents I'd turn
Then I'd take up the Lyre that orpheus

And pour out my song on the breeze
The Eagle the Swan and the Dolphin I'd

And the ear OF the Serpent I'd please

And the weight of the gold and the laurel I'd

We'd follow old Lupus through forest and

Till wearied he'd fall in the race.
Then I'd go to the Altar and place on its

The spells Of war and the chase.
So the charms of Mars and Apollo in fine
Should the altar of Jupiter grace.
Then changing my course I'd approach to

And alight IN some valley Of green,
Then scratching on paper in doggercl verse
I'd boast of the wonders I'd seen.
