THE ETNA FIRE
Insurance Co.,

OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT, is
~ the strongest fire insurance company
in the United States, as well as one of the
most liberal in it's adjustment Of losses.
It is a member of the South Eastern Tariff
Association and it requires no more
money to secure policy in it than it does
in any of the smaller companies, besides
YOU can always feel assured that it will
be able to meet any emergency and with
stand the disasters Of almost any confta-
grafton. In 1871 it paid fire losses in the
Great Chicago fire to the enormous amount
of s3,7S2 900, while there were over
100 companies crushed out Of existence
and awarded to their confiding policy
holders in full, all of the light, heat,
smoke and ashes, as consolation for their
folly and in consideration of their premi-
ums. Nine months later another coEfia-
grafton was born to the ETNA-the Great
Boston fire-and it this time paid its fire
losses without quibbling, which amounted
to SI,635,O67, and by their reports to
the insurance commissioner Of Connecti-
cut, show total assets on January lst, Of
S12,OS9,OS9.9S!
True there are many other strong COM
panies, I have four others) and there are
hundreds of clever agents; but there are
no companies, or no agents who Will ap-
preciate your business, or even part OF
it, and treat you with more consideration
than I, and companies have the honor
of representing in this vicinity, l have

patrons unjustly. When you want fire
insurance on your property, consult with
me. NV rates are as low as any standard
insurance, and better insurance does not

Washington, Nov. 2O.-The discus
sion as to the revenue producing quail
ties of the present tariff law lends es-
pecial interest to a series of tables JUS,
issued by the Treasury Bureau of Sta
tictics. showing the receipts from vari.
ous sources by months during long
| term of years
| An examination OF these figures
| shows tha, the customs receipts of the
Treasury Department now amount 10
| one-half the ordinary expenditures Of
the government. which Is about the
usual proportion allotted to that branch
of the revenue producing service.
The ordinary expenditures OF the
government. aside from those Of the
POstOffce Department. which is practi,
cnlly self-sustaining. are usually cal.
culuted ut about S1,OO0,0OO a day and
averaged during the years 1894 to 1897
$500, 100000 per nnnnm. and at about
the same ratio in 1903, omitting the Pa.
cific railrond and extraordinary wal
expenditures.
The general plans of those charged
with the duty of providing the reve.
nues. for the government have contem.
plated the production of one.half of the
necessary expenditures from customs
and the remaining half from internal
revenue and miscellaneous sources. or.
in other words. half Il million dollars
n day from customs and half a million
dollars day from internal revenue and
miscellaneous.
The daily statement OF receipts and
expenditures issued by the Treasury
Department shows that November 18th
the 14Oth day Of the present fiscal year,
the customs receipts had, during these
40 days, amounted to $13340,420. OF
this sum little more than $1,OOOOOO
was from the duty placed upon tea by
the war revenue net. so that fully $72,.
100000 of the ST3.3I0, 400 received In
these 14O days are the legitimate nor.

A Franco.Italian Treaty.

, Paris. Nov. 21.-It was unexpectedly
announced this afternoon that com.
mercial treaty has been concluded be-
tween France and Italy, granting ml.
tunlly favored treatment except for
silk goods. which will remain subject
to the maximum tax. A bill embody.
ing the agreement will be submitted
Immediately to the Chamber of Depu.
ties.
1t is believed that the Fnsloda affair
was instrumental in inducing France
to grant the necessary concessions,
though 1t is noteworthy that the silk
duties. which caused the breaking of
the treaty in 1887. remain almost un.
changed. The negotiations have been
conducted with the utmost secrecy.
The effect of the concessions involved
is not yet known, but 1t is expected
that they will have an Important po-
liticnl influence for the removal of n
long standing friction between the two
countries.

the ships and putting them in thor
ough repair will be $500,00O.
The vessels to be raised are gun
boats of large type, and In the opinion
of Chief Constructor Hickborn they
will be the best kind of craft for the
