IRE the Eastern O,d Lime Life Insurance
Companies.
Territorial Secretary Jenkins has
just compiled a statement OF the con
dtiou OF fire, life and other insurance
companies and the amount Of business
done by them in Oklahoma for the
year ending December 81, 1897. There
are greater number OF FIRE insurance
companies with agents In Oklahoma
than there have been since 1895.
There are more life insurance compan-
les than at aIy time In the past.
The year 1894 WAS the first for which
the insurance companies made reports
OF the business transacted by them.
The omissions indicate companies that
were not transActing business in the
territory during the year of 1897, but
which secured licenses on and ubse-
quent TO Jan. 1, 1898 The general
prosperity In Oklahoma during the
last eight months has given great
impetus to the different lines OF insur-
ance and new companies are rapidly

MAKING WAX LIFE-LIKE.
How the Figures Arc Modelled aud Col

How long does 1t take to make one
of these?" said the manufacturer in
response to an inquiry from a Boston
Transcript man. We'll. II depends
entirely upon circumstances. Il is not
a mechanical operation the finishing

this" and he pointed to the bust OF
a laughing child, whose rosy neck and
bright eyes were framed by clustering
curls. ITO make these one must have
studied anatomy. as well as drawing
and modelling We begin in the same
way as a sculptor would to make a
statue. After the wax has cooled the
eyes are put in, the face is made up,
as theatrical folks say and the wig
Is fastened on and the wooden body is
shaped. We make all our hands and
feet from life and they cost about $40.
II we have an order for an entire fg-
ure we model it from life. The life
size wax figures of infants are among
the finest thugs we manufacture, and
they add much to the attractiveness
of a show window, as was illustrated
last winter when a Washington street
retail dealer displayed one during the
holiday season. The head and shoul-
ders, such as are seen in the milliner's
windows, cost from $40 to Sl5. The
wig makes considerable difference in
the price, as we use the best hair ana
it is expensive, especially the natural
blond, which is scarce The children's s
heads cost $40 or thereabout.
"All the finishing off imaginable, "
he continued, would not make a figure
stand the test of a season behind the
glare of glass unless the wax has a
natural pink tinge The reason some
Of the models look SO deathly is be-
cause the wax is bad and not properly
colored We use heeswax, slightly col
ored, and flesh TINS are put on in adj
dition."

WASHINGTON, March Is The event
)f the day In official circles was the
issuing OF an order for the formation
II new squadron of naval vessels
to be stationed at Hampton Roads.
The squadron, in the beginning, will
consist of five ships, all the best of
their types Two Of them, the battle
ships Massachusetts and Texas, are
withdrawn from the present North
Atlantic fleet at Key West and Tor
tugas.
la ordering this movement, the
Iavy department is not animated by
any purpose OF yielding TO representa-
tions or intimations that may have
come from the new Spanish minister.
IN the contrary, the new squadron
was brought about by purely strategic
considerations, although IL appears,
from the nature Of the force so far
under orders TO rendezvous at Hamp-
ton Roads, that this strategy is of the
defensive nature.
! although the other ships to be add
sd to the squadron have not yet been
definitely selected, it is surmised that
they will include some OF the battle
ships at Key West and the armored
cruiser New York, In which case Ad-
mral Sicard, it is believed, will com
mand the new force. In place OF the
cruiser New York, the people OF Key
West will look upon the grim out
lines OF the big monitor Puritan, sup
posedly the most powerful ship in
smooth water in the world. She will
have 10 assist her on gus I'd the double
turreted monitor Miantononah and
the monitor Amphitrite. The Puritan
is now at Norfolk almost ready for
-oa. The Miantonomah is at League
Island quite ready and SO is the Am.
phitrite at Port Royal, S. c
Remaining at Key West after the
| departure of the Massachusetts and
the Texas, Admiral Sicard will still
have powerful fleet of his own, when n
the spectacle will be presented of a
fleet and n squadron at one station,
something not seen since the civil
war.
The monitors which 81 is designed to
send TO Key West are said to be well
fitted for the service. Owing to their
light draft OF from fifteen to sixteen
feet they will be able to navigate safe
ly the shallow waters OF the Florida
coast and will not be obliged, like the
Iowa, to lie six miles out at sea from
Key West in order TO secure enough
water under her keel
The gunboat Helena reported to the
department that she had sailed from
Funchal, Madeira, for Key West, tc
join the squadron. 1t is now said that
1t has been definitely determined &C
bring the battleship Oregon around
South America to Key West
The Spanish minister called at the
state department at o'clock and re
mained with Judge Day for something
lover an hour. Both parties to the
conference were extremely reserved
at its conclusion. IL is understood
however, that it developed no new
phases, but was a general talk IL
which pacific assurances were ex
changed and hopeful view Of the sit
uation expressed.
