her screams brought succor but her
assailant escaped. Monday he was ar

sUPERsTITIo N AND INSURANCE.
Some Curious views Taken of the Matte
from Religious Motives.

When life insurance was first intro
duoed some persons looked upon it as a
violation of divine law, (which prohibited
any proposition to make compensation
for passing way to eternal rest in def.
anoe Of the will and act of the Supreme
Being. 1t was thought to raise the pre-
sumption that the policy writer could
control life RS he did personalities, and
the impression existed that a ontract
was to be entered into to buy them a
life for monetary consideration. This
superstition yet sxsits among some peo-
pie, illustrated as follows: An aged
colored pastor once consulted an insur-
anoe agent upon obtaining policy upon
his life. He made inquiry if there was
not some other way by which he could
secure an inheritance for his family, for,
he said, as God had given him his life
he had come to the oonclu sion that 1t
would be violation OF religion to in
trust it to corporation that had no
soul, and it seemed like tempting Provi-
dencs to enter into contract with our
poration on mere speculation.
Possibly this pious man was under the
impression that he was ON straight
transit route to Heaven and possessed
means to enter its gates, which might be
tied by an impious act such as he
declared would be the acceptance Of a
policy on his life written by human
hands. He did not place any respect ON
the indemnity promised, but said that he
was confident that bis reward in future
life could not be granted by any man or
association. 1t is not likely to be
prevalent In civilized communities, for
those who neglect to make provisions for
those dependent on them after passing
away commit as great sin as the pious
minister apprehended he would have
been guilty of had he accepted a,policy
on his life. Views.

THE TEN CENT MAGAZINES.
Mr.. Mcclure Says the Loud Bill Would
Injure Them.

Washington, J an. 23-The Senate COM
mittee on post offices and post roads to-
day held another hearing on the Loud bill
which cuts off certain serial publications
from the benefits of second class postage
rates. Those present were chiefly op-
posed to the bill. Orville j. Victor Of
Adams and Victor, New 1 York publish
ers, contended that the proposed measure
was in the interest of the express COM
paniesgand against labor. He resented
the idea that cheap books ware vicions,
and declared that not more than five per
cent of all the publications OF this class
were trash. John Elderkin of the New
YORK Ledger stated that his firm had
published 200 different works in cheap
editions and that each work was of
standard character.
S. S.SMoClure, the magazine publisher,
told the COMMITTEES that If this law went
INTO effect the ten cent magazine would
be compelled to increase their prices to
fifteen cents. This would cut the circu-
lation of such magazines In half. The
present law was in the interest of educa-
ton md should not be interfered with.
j. s. Ogiivie, -encther New York pub
lisner. resented tho criticisms made
against his publications at the last meet

Havana, January 24.-The marine
author titles here ignore the Cometa
affair. and it is impossible to learn from
them what, if any, truth there is in the
report that the little gunhoat has been
destroyed by the insurgents The mill
tary authorities profess to know nothing
Of the matter. From other than official
sources, it is learned that the reports
anent the loss Of the gunbont are prob
ably correct.
Official reports today give details OF
number Of engagements between the
government forces and the rebels 10 the
provinces of Santa Clara, Havana, Ma
tanzas and pinar del Rio. According
TO these reports the troops were uni
formly victorious The rebel losses in
the various engagements are placed at
81 killed, large number wounded and
two captured.
The insurgent camps at Prefectures
wers captured and over 100 huts de-
stroyed. Many families who had taken
refuge in the woods were found by the
troops and taken into the towns.
The Spaniards say their losses were
four killed, and lieutenant-eolonel
and three captains aud 81 privates were
more or less seriously wounded. Not
withstanding the recent announcement
OF the "Facitcation" Of Pinar del Rio,
the official reports show thas greater
mum Der Of the engagements referred to
took place in that province. The most
important of the fighting took place near
Guines, province Of Havana. where the
troops met the rebel parties led by
Jastillo and Dslgada.
