COFFEE AND INSURANCE.
Tho Connection netween the Two Shown In
New York and London.

New York ana London.
There might not seem to be any direct con-
nection between coffee and insurance. but that
one exists is attested by many episodes In the
history Of early New York. In 1859 the Old
Insurance ONCE. as it was called. was open from
noon to l o'clock and from 6 TO 8 o'clock in the
evening every day at the Coffee House under
charge of Keteltas & Sharpe, and gave marine
insurance to merchants. secured by subscrip-
tions of underwriters In 177s, as the destruc-
ton Of vessels by American privateers increased
the risk Of navigation. @ new insurance Office
was opened ct another coffee house, and from
that time on the insurance business Of New
York was carried on generally in coffee houses.
There was a precedent for this in another
coffee house indissolubly connected with in
surance-Lloyd's. In London. Edward Lloyd
was the enterprising proprietor OF a coffee
house in Tower street patronized by shippers
and merchants. The first mention of it is TO be
found In the London Gazette of Feb. 81, 1887.

close Of the seventeenth century. merchants

to quiet rather than excite tho nerves, would
reduce the speculative tendencies even of

to those DESTROYS OF procuring hazards on ships.
But what seems to have been the case was
this: Something stronger than coffee was in

they were the places OF meeting OF those WHO

Henry Applet.

Perhaps the "kickingest" quartermaster
sergeant of the regiment IS Henry Applet
of Company I. The regimental quarter
master hates the sight of him. which makes
him all the more popular IN his company,
because it's on account OF his everlasting

makes him unpopular With Capt. Sullivan,
the regimental quartermaster. Sergt. APP

Clarendon county. Sergt. Applet enlisted
as private in Company A Oh May last,
but was rejected on the physical e1amina-

of Senator McLaurin he was accepted by
special orders from the war department.
Sergt Appelt was among the very tlrst to
offer his services to Captain (now Lieuten-

to make first class quartermaster ser

ment He is thoroughly diSliked by every
other qualtermaster in the regiment, which
is glowing tribute to his ability to receive

Then, too, he never tires. Even at night
he is on the alert around headquarters, and
when he hears Of anything that is to be Is

One night last week MIR. Joe Wells had
quite thrilling experience. He had been
out calling, and when be returned to his
boarding house, just as be entered his
room he saw great big burglar jump out
of the window with bundle Of clothes un-
der his arm. Mr.. Wells at once gave the
alarm and aroused the household, and
when they went into his room they found
the bedding turned topsey-turvey, clothes
of every description aud IN all conditions
scattered over the floor, and trunk gone.
This was a very serious dilemma for o
Young man to be in, but fortunately Mr..
Wells had on his best suit Of clothes and
his pretty patent leather shoes which the
burg lar failed to get, and this fact was the
often repeated expressions of consolation
this unfortunate young man gave utterance
to- While the household were standing ID
the room like as many statues IN an art
gallery. a. sound came from without and
one Of the svmpathizlng friends was re.
ouested to look out Of the window to see II
the cause could be ascertalned. SO glad
was Mr.. Wells that be had saved his patent
feathers that he was content for others to
look out OF the window. After awhile when
the excitement cooled down, a search OF the
premises, with Mr. Wells keeping the rear,
closely watching that the burglar should not
dodge the crowd and get back into the
house. they searched high and low; tracks
were found and they were followed to the
place where the trunk was Secreted. Mr..
Wells found the lost property and was nat
urally proud of the discovery, but imagine
his surprise when he returned to the house
to learn that his fellow. .boarders had played
d practical joke and the ladies Of the house
were wickedly conscious of the whole bus

The Railroad Situation.

The writer has discovered that it is pos
sible to extract few facts from the incohe-
rent medley OF talk now in the air regard
ing railroad matters. 1t has appeared to be
impossible to sift the wheat from the chaff,
but certain things have been discovered.
| One OF these facts is that the present tenn
per Of the Legislature will not allow the
original Central reorganization bill TO be-
come law until the Grand Trunk infiu-
ence behind the bill provides for what is
known as the unsecured creditors.
1t makes no difference what any infiu-
ence wants or does not want, this matter
will first have to be adjusted to the salts
faction Of the Legislature. This Is TACT
unless the great bulk of the general assem-
bly, right about faces and changes its mind,
collectively and individually.
The writer has list of the amounts which
the Grand Trunk has offered to take care
of and OF those it thus far refuses to provide
for, and it can well afford to undertake the
few remaining obligations of this charac-
ter. Until it does, it will find-unless the
Legislature "reconsiders"- an insurmount-
able obstacle in the way of its progress.
This is said from the standpoint OF the
Legislature, by one who cannot fail OF I'M
derstanding its sentiment.

for the unsecured creditors and the refund

1t speaks volumes for Paine's celery COM
pound that OF all the many women who
have recovered health by its means very

When a sick and feeble sufferer is seen
to gain steadily in health and vigor from
taking Psine's celery compound no room for

Fire At the Gas Works.
Narrow Escape From Loss of Life and De-
struction of Property.

An alarm was turned in from box twenty
three, about six O'Clock on Saturday night,
calling the fire department TO the gas works
on the Berlin side. An incipient confagra-
ton was rapidly developing into serious
blaze, but by the use OF extinguishers 1t
was quickly put under control, with only
slight loss to the gas company.
The new apparatus for the production Of
gas from naptha has been undergoing re-
pairs, and meanwhile the company was
using the old apparatus. III. b. Wedge, the
foreman, and his assistants, Frank Alexan-
der and Lewis Buskey were about the
works. They had been engaged in filling
the apparatus with naptha. In some way
the pipe had overfiowed and the nsptha
had run down into the basement Of the
building. Alexander went below to look
after matters. In attempting to light gas
jet that had rarely been used IL is supposed
that a bit OF sulphur flew from the match
and fell into the naptha on the floor. In.
sfantly it was in blaze and the flames
spread like flash. In trying to bring an
extinguisher to bear on the flames Mr..
Wedge was caught between blaze from op-
posite directions, and though nearly over
come, managed to escape to he street. Trip
ping on the threshold Of the door he fell head
long into the road. Recovering himself he
made his way to box 20, near the Montpelier
House, and turned in an alarm. Trying TO
return he became senseless and fell near

Mrs. Lydia M. Hayden of Marion, Ind,
writes:
Before commencing the use Of Paine's
celery compound L was treated by many
doctors and tried many remedies, but did
not get any better. I seemed to be all
broken down, 1 was tired all the time and
my constitution seemed to be giving out.
I weighed only 115 pounds last fall when
commenced using Paine's celery compound.
In less than two months l weighed 1874
pounds, an unusual weight for me. 1 have
had better health ever since and have felt
better this summer than I have for years.
"My little daughter was away from home
on a visit, and came home looking as If she
had had hard sickness. l went right
away and got her bottle of Psine's celery
compound, and she has had better health
since than she ever had in her life, eats
hearty and is growing fast"
No woman in any way out Of health can
in justice to herself and her family fail to
take Paine's celery compound when its
power of restoring health is so abundantly
proved.

after some time Mr.. Wedge recovered his
senses, and was taken to his home on the
Berlin side, near the gas works. His mus

in the gas house.
In the gas works is tank for paptha of

is always large quantity of the infiamable

and before it had reached the purifying

of the fremen carried the day.
