When Using Perfumes.

The use of perfumery is now sub
iect to certain well-defned limitations.
Strong scents of all kinds are under
the ban and are no longer represented
among fashionable toilet accessories.
Cologne, whether diluted or in the ex-
tract, must be sprayed upon the cloth
ing with an atomizsr to avoid all pos
sibility of excessive odor-a fact which,
it must be remembered. is less likely
to be apparent to the offender than to
any one else.
Sachet powder has almost entirely
superseded all other varieties of per-
fumery, it being at once delicate and
fragrant, while possessing many dis
tinct practical advantages over the
liquid perfumes. The fashionable
modiste now sprinkles it literally on a
thin sheet of wadding, which latter is
inserted between the two surfaces of
collar and cuffs, under the arms, in
sleeve puffs and skirt hens.
Violet is the fashionable odor with
the preference strongly in favor of the
Russian and Parma varieties. Hello
trope, rose, lilac and patchouli remain
in constant demand, though only the
first of these can lay claim to fashiona-

The blousy effect follows even the
tea-gown, and where a full, Russian
front is inserted of soft material, it is
usually bloused slightly, quite low at
the waistline in the front, being held

running across the front only.

ends that reach quite to the bottom OF

More Dismal Reports From spain.

New York. July 14.-A World dispatch
from Madrid says: If the war party in
Spain persists, in spite Of the advice Of
the Pope and the powers, the govern
ment will make known soon how scant
are provisions and ammunition among
the Spanish forces in Cuba and Porto
Rico on confession of the governors
themselves. Moreover, it will publish
a financial statement showing that all
Spain's sources of supply have been
drained, that all the advances made by
the Bank of Spain are exhausted, and
that the only recourse now Is to stop the
payment Of the interest on the debt and
of the sinking fund, and to issue bonds
at per cent interest with the double
guaranty Of the the Spanish treasury
and the Bank of Spain. In the court
and official quarters it is believed that il
such extreme arguments are TesOrted to
the army, at least, will see that the game
is up and will assent to peace.
But General Blanco cannot undertake
to procure the submission of the Span
ish volunteers and irreguIars in Cuba.
They intimated to him when consulted
that If the Spanish government made
peace they would fight on, guerilla fash
ion.

Connecticut Fire Insurance Company
rIethOdS.

Superintendent McNall has the follow
ing to say Of the last insurance company
which has taken notion to have fun
with him:
"The Connecticut Fire Insurance Com
pany is the company that issued a pol
icy of insurance on April 16, 1894, to
Edgar NJ Bird, of Arkansas City, upon
a twO-stOry frame building, in the sum
of $4,000. On November IL, 1895, the
property was totally destroyed by fire.
The company very magnaminOusly paid
to Edgar M. Bird $2,050, being shy in
the sum of $3.50. This was a direct vio-
lation Of the valued policy law Of this
State that was in force at that time.
Complaint was made to this department
and the Connecticut Fire was required to
pay to Mr.. Bird the additional amount
Of $3.50.
"'The above matter has been in con-
troVersy for some time, and the COM
pany at one time sent It's general agent
from Omaha, Neb., to present its de-
fense for not paying the claim and COM
plying with the law. This department
holds that it was no defense. While this
matter was in controversy an investiga-
tlon OF the assets OF the company was
ordered. The company said it was will
ing to permit an examination Of the as
sets of the company, but refused to pay
any expenses on account Of the same.
"The department is of the opinion that
any insurance company authorized to
transact business in this State that fails
to comply with the valued policy law
in paying losses in full where the same
arc total, without criminal fault on the
Part Of the assured or false or fraudu-
lent representations at the time Of MAX
ing application for the insurance, is in
an insolvent condition, and every one
Of them should be examined, the same
as an individual in this State the min
ute that he goes to shaving and dis
counting his bills 25, so or rs per cent.
is placed in the hands Of a receiver.
"The salary of the president Of this
company is $4,000, vice president $4,000,
secretary $4,000. 1t took out of Kansas
last year $4O,444.43, paid back in losses
$18, ,420.05."

Small Policy Holders Are Protected.

Some days ago a policyholder in a
fire company wrote to Superintendent
McNall that he had suffered total loss
under a $4O0 policy and that he had been
compelled to settle for $275. McNall
wrote to him to go to the agent and get
the number Of the policy and send it
and he would compel the company to
pay the full amount. The policyholder
replied that the agent said he had no
record showing the policy number and
could not therefore give it. Webb re-
piled instructing him to go to the agent
and tell him to go to his record book,
get that number from it and send it in.
He also added that he might say to the
agent that he knew he had such rec
ord book because he (McNalD used to be
agent for the same company himself and
that he knew agents were required to
make and keep such record. MCNall
added that IL the agent did not give the
information promptly he would revoke
his license. The information came
promptly and the policyholder got his
money. It pays to have an Insurance
Superintendent who looks after the in
terests of the small policy holder who
cannot afford to litigate

Spanish newspapers were saying early
last week that peace would be desirable

the evacuation Of Cuba, but that nothing

Paris Dlscusses MunIcIpaI INSURANCE.

The new municipal council of Paris Is
considering the adVisability Of the Gre
alton of an Office for municipal insur-
ance against fire, says the New Time.
The nineteen principal insurance COM
panles Of Paris received, during 1896,
premiums of 1O1, $40, 457 francs, which,
with receipts from other sources, made
a total income Of 1O9,771 ,673 francs. Fire
losses were but 1895, ,496 francs, which,
together with other expenses, made
total of 84,259,858 francs. The profits
we're 24,9O1 1926 francs, or $5,9SO,356.
Under the circumstances 1t is considered
that the present insurance premiums are
exorbitant. If the municipality had the
conduct of the business, the ,224
francs spent for commissions would be
unnecessary. Actual fire losses and cler-
ical expenses would then be but one-half
Of the receipts, and If the municipality
conducted the business without an eye
to revenue, insurance rates could be cut
in half.

Leedy Stands By Kansas Soldiers.

Ohio has battalion of colored troops
Kansas has two. Three battalions make
a regiment 1t was natural that con-
solidation of the troops from the two
States should be proposed. Governor
Leedy wrote to Governor Bushnell sug-
gesting the matter. He was astounded
when the reply came. Mr. Bushnell evil
IDENTIFY thought he was doing Kansas a.
kindness, but no Kansan would look at
it that way. He said that he would con-
sent to consolidation on two conditions.
They were that the regiment should
bear the name of Ohio and that Gov
ernOr Bushnell should be allowed to
name all Of the regimental officers. Such
an exhibition of gall was so surprising
to Kansas patriotic Governor that he
thought there must be some misunder-
standing, so he wrote Bushnell and said
he would consent to have him appoint
his proper proportion of the regimental
officers, but that as two-thirds Of the
regiment would be Kansas boys it must
be known as the Twenty-thlrd Kansas.

Are the Corporations Laying Ofp

It is commonly rumored that the Re-
publican State committee is going to
have to get along this year without cor
pOration contributions of cash. The
story is doubted, but such things as the
following, taken from the Clay Center
Times, which is edited by a member OF
the Republican State committee, indi-
Gates that the disposition exhibited by
Republican papers towards corporations
is not what it has been. The Times says:
Suppose you were man and suppose
you were in the Legislature. Suppose
you had a chance tomorrow to vote
tax on the express companies, the West
ern Union, the railroads, insurance COM
panies who are by subterfuge and mean
ness evading the war tax? And wouldn't
the tax be a good healthy one? It's such
cowardly, un-American proceedings that
build up prejudice all over this big coun-
try against corporations"

corporations doing business under and

winter when the Legislature meets. The
