COM PlAlNTS
Against an Alabama Mutual Fire Insurance
COMPANY and Some "LloYdso underW riters


Mrs Hannah Bush of Dolomite, Ala,
who insured her house In the Alabama
State Mutual Fire association of Annis-
ton, Ala, Is not yet in possession of the
returns due by the loss of her house by
fire on October 20 last. The house was
insured for $1,000, the policy dating May,
1885, and good for one year. The house
originally cost about $1,000 ten years ago.
She has offered to take $500 and the COM
pany has offered her $3.50. The case is
in the hands of an attorney of Pratt City,
Ala, near which place the house was To-
GATED. The attorney states that the COM
pany has, since the fire, called on Mrs.
Bush for the rest of her premium, al
though the practice of the company, ac-
cordingto its pronunciamento, Is to call
for the second half of the premium only
at the end of the year, in case the second
half is needed. To say the least, insur

No Bad Effects From Incandescent Lights.

Maj. b. L. Huntington, Chief of the Med
zeal Department U. s. A., Department
of Colorado.
There is no denying the fact that the
burning of gas in a room is injurious to
health. The oxygen of the afr is steadily
consumed by the fame and unless oxy-
gen Is supplied from without as fast as
the consumption takes place the air be-
comes vitiated. Experience also shows
that gas is liable to escape from the
burners and assist in poisoning the air
The electric light gives out comparatively
little heat and Is absolutely free from OBJ
jections which are argued against the
gas jet.
