WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Within

Of the Interior Hoke Smith, and
ex-Speaker Crisp, have urged Sena-

draw his decision to be a candi-

that if he would do so, they would
not permit their names to be used

his sermon raised an issue of

extend over the shoulders and down
either side of the front of the skirt
with bows at the ends.
Wider ribbons are used to face

are on the shoulders, at the waist

MUNICIPAL FIRE INSURANCE.

Success OF the System on Small Scale In
Switzerland.
Various attempts have been made in
different European countries to estab
lish Il system of state or municipal fire
insurance, and the most successful eX-
amples are to be found in that nursery
Of European democracy-Switzerland
In Zurich and several other canton.
fire insurance is made a part of canton.
al government. One of the best laws
ON the subject is in operation IN Basel
Stadt, one of the smallest of Swiss can
tons, containing only $4,000 people
less than the population of a small
London local government district. Tho
town of Basel has population of co.
00o,so that the community is largely an
urban one. The fire insurance law is
administered by the general obliga-
tory mutual fire insurance institution y
operating under the department OF
finance. The law is not only compul
sorry, but the system is a monopoly, as
buildings insured by it are not allowed
to carry additional insurance. Several
classes of buildings are excluded from
the operation of the law, including
churches, which belong to the state,
buildings of less value than 300 francs,
when situated some distance from
towns or villages, as they perhaps run
little or no risk, and the buildings
which are of too hazardous nature,
such as theaters and powder mills.
A valuation commission appointed
by the government council values the
building in the presence of the owner
or his agents. The value is determined
''by the amount which at the time OF
the valuation the buildings in their
then existing construction would cost
for material and labor, with deductions
for age, use, poor state of repairs, etc. >
Local advantage or site value does not
influence the valuation, and movable
objects, such as machines or parts of
machinery, are excluded. Buildings
are divided into four classes, according
to the nature of the risk, and the pre-
miums are graduated accordingly.
Dwelling-houses and all buildings not
used for manufacturing purposes pay
= premium of so centimes per 1,C00
francs value or 5 pence per 40. Or
binary manufactures and workshops
pay 80 confines per 1000 francs.
Places of greater hazard, such as brew
cries, distilleries, gas works, tobacco
factories, pay franc 20 confines per
1000 francs, while class four, including
chemical factories, dyeing works and
q few more places where the risk is
still greater, pay at the rate of 1 franc
80 confines. Where the hazard is ex-
ceptional and in the case of buildings
partly constructed of wood, an addi-
ton, which must never exceed francs
ON each 1000 francs, is made.-Contem-

Sleeves Copied From Paintings.

The sleeve continues to be the
all important factor of the gown.
Frills on frills, Vandyke caps and
epaulets are rampant about the
very top of the arm, with a decided
tendency toward extra tightness Of
the sleeve above as well as below
the elbow. Often a parting is made
in the centre of puff, revealing the
close coat sleeve from the shoulder
down. The newest sleeves, it is
officially asserted, have been copied
from the oldest pictures, though
the cold masters" could they
behold them, would hardly recog-
nize some of the modern versions.

to seriously propose his fairness for

Talking about "silverites" is
misleading. The entire Populist
party is a silver party, and the
