Tho new training school for domestic service in Chicago will be watched with interest because it claims to be founded upon wisdom gathered from past errors and failures of like efforts. " The insti- tuition is incorporated under state laws, with Q house provided with ample grounds for it's extension if warranted by tho success of the venture. The first class consists of 25 young women, who have the best of references for faithful ness in performing their duties The instruction given will be not only in cookery but in all branches that have to do with economy, comfort, health and the proper maintenance of a house. The most improved methods will be taught. The pupils are received fre~ 7

INSUR RANGE.

4 bill has been introduced in the lower House of the General Assem- bly, Of the State to require fire in suranee companies to pay the full face value of their policies to the in sured in the event of q loss. This is q very just measure and it should be passed. Similar legislation has already been enacted ia number of the Southern States. At the last session Of the Georgia Legislature q bill of this nature was passed, and bills of similar import are now pend- ing in tue State Legislatures of Texas and Tennessee.
 It is very just law. Whatever a man pays for, he should get As it now is insurance companies will issue policies for unlimited amounts, utterly regardless of the value of the property insured by the proper ty holder. As long as the policy holder pays his premiums and sui fe1,s no loss by fire, t is all right, but as soon as a loss by fire occurs then the fire insurance companies set themselves to work to prove that the insured had more insurance than his property was worth, and thereby seek to defeat him of that protection for which he has paid
 The responsibility for over-insur- ance should be placed on tue insur- anee companies and their agents. If either of the latter have issued more insurance to a policy holder than his property is worth, aud they have taken his money with the full knowledge thereof, then, in the event of loss, their mouths should be estopped from setting this up as a bar to the policy holders claims.
 We repeat that . person should receive that for which he or she has paid. If the insured has taken out insurance greater than the val ne of his property for purposes of fraud, the insurance agent ard the insurance company are parties to the fraud, and they should have no more right to profit by their own fraud than the insured. The bur den should be placed on the insur- ance companies, and they should be

A MEAN COUPLE.
They Maise n Good Livelihood by Getting
 Married Often.


 Married Often.
 One of the meanest confidence games on record is that which was played by n woll dressed man and woman upon clergymen of several towns along tho sound shore. The couple first appeared in Branford Conn, where they visited the town clerk and proourod marriage lieenso Thon they wont to the house of q clergyman and were married. The groom after the ceremony handed the parson a SEQ bill and told him to take $5 for his services. Tho minister did so and gave tho newly welded husband $16 in change.

held 10 the full payment of their policies
 If this law is enacted, then the insurance companies will be placed on their guard; it will be more diff ficult to obtain insurance, and there will be less fires from ineendiary or igin, which frequently entail loss upon the innocent as well as the guilty.
 The last report of the State Audi tor shows that the insurance com panies take out of Arkansas a mil lion dollars a year over and above the amounts paid out in losses, yet the insurance rates remain station ary, and have reached a point of op- pression, and in the event of loss the policy holder does not really know whether he has any protection or not
 Frequently he is forced to resort to the courts to enforce the pay ment Of his policy, which method entails heavy and additional losses upon the policy-hoIder, thereby de- priving him of that for which he has paid.
 If the present State Legislature . is LII assembly of the true reDresen- tatiyes of the people of Arkansas, then the Che people of the State should be protected from the merci- less greed of cormorant corpora tions.
