THE HARTLAND FIRE.
Not So Extensive as Was Re-
ported, thursday Morning.
Town Hall and Cooks House Oes
troyed- -Pratt's Store Damaged.
Total Loss Is Over $4,000, With . Small
Amount Of iasurance.

Pittsfield, June 10.-(SpeciaD.-The
fire at Hartland did not amount to so
much as was first reported. After the
first news and the departure of the
special train over the Sebasticook &
Moosehead Lake Railroad, carrying the
fire apparatus from this place, there
was no further information to be OBJ
tanned. The people who remained out
to watch the light in the sky, We're leb
by the constantly increasing volume of
flame, plainly seen from this village
until long after midnight, to believe
that the whole town was being swept
by the fire. Returning firemen brought
the first information that the fire was
no where near as bad as it was be-
lieved to be.
The fire started in the stable con-
nected with the residence of Lyman
Cook on st. Albank street. 1t was well
underway when discovered and quick
ly spread to the ell and main house in
spite of the efforts of the neighbors
who had responded to the alarm. When
it was seen that the fire would extend
word was telegraphed to Pittsfield for
help. When the Pittsfield firemen ar
rived on the scene the Town hall was
enveloped in flame and there was no
hope of saving it.
In this building were located the halls
of the Odd Fellows and Masonic orders.
and they lost their furniture and para
phennalia. The cost of the building
was $4,000 and an insurance of $500 was
carried on it. The hall building to-
gether with the Cook residence and the
upper part of Pratt's crockery and
small ware store We're the only build
ings touched. The Cook house and the
hall building We're destroyed. Cooks
loss $1,000 and Pratt's loss. $500.
The Odd Fellows had 5000 insurance
on their pharaphenalia and Mr.. Cook
had but small insurance. The Pitts
field firemen rendered great service.
To their efforts is largely due the saw
ing of several other buildings in the
vicinity of the ones burned.

American Life Insurance,

In no country is the business of life
insurance ON sounder or more conser
vativc basis than in the United States.
There were some attempts made in the
early years of the century to start life
insurance companies, but life insurance
was not popular in those days, il being
regarded by many, as the quaint remark
of Il writer of the period puts it, as
wicked to insure their lives, or to trav.
el in steamboats, against wind and tide
The three largest companies at present
doing business began in 1871, ls43 and
1859.
The remarkable development in the
business began after the civil war, and
it has grown with an uncxamplcd prog
ress The great conservative life insur
ance companies stood the shock of the
financial commissions Of 1878 and 1898
better than other financial institutions,
and the words of the famous mathema-
tician, De Morgan, still remain true,
There is nothing in the commercial
world which approaches, even remote
iy, the security of a we'll established
life office. - The three large companies
receive annually in premiums and other
income about 800, 900, 600, their assets
aggregate about 5000, 900, 900, and they
have outstanding insurance to the
amount of about S2,400, 10000 The
natural presumption arising from q
study Of the development of such an en-.
terprise is that to have maintained its
place in the great field of competition il
must have subserved a purpose of great
benefit to society. Catholic World.
