LOSE MONEY IN AMERICA.
Foreign Insurance Companies Face to
Face With Deficit in United
States Business

London, April 1.-THE recent big hreS
in New York, coming close upon the bad
season last year, have produced a feel-
ing Of great disappointment among
English insurance companies doing
American business.
This year has been a frightful one
for our American branch" said the for
eign secretary of the Royal Exchange
company today. 1T has been the worst
we have had for twenty years. Already
we have suffered heavily by big fires,
and if only normal damage occurs from
now until the years end we can look
forward to a distinct loss on the twelve
months business.
In another way our American bust
ness proved Improbable. Americans in
sist upon sky scrapers that tower to
unheard of heights. Let fire break out
In any single part of the block covered
by the sky-scraper and the entire build
ing is af1ame.''
Il hear" said the correspondent, "that
there is talk of English firms with
drawing from American business, es-
pecially as the number of incendiaries
seems to increase. Is it true?"
"Wen,'' said the secretary, I've heard
of this incendiarism idea, but it is, of
course, difficult to verify. Still, the well
known English company, the Guardian
Fire and Life, gave up it's American
branch few years ago, and L should
not be surprised if a continuance of bad
times sent a number of weaker COM
panies flying from American business.
Added to their trouble has been rate
war in many states. Companies COM
peting against one another have brought
down premiums low.
Commercially speaking, they are
practically cutting each other 5
Threats"
The manager of the Scottish Life and
Fire Assurance company told the cor
respondent a similar story. This COM
pany last year, for the first time in its
existence of twenty years, found itself
face to face with loss on American bust
ness

WITHOUT A MAYOR.
New One at Columbus, Ohio,
Spirited Away.

Columbus, O., April 17.-This city got
along today without a mayor as the re-
suit of bitter fight between two fac
lions of the Republican party.
After Is years of Democratic admins
trations, Samuel ]. Swartz, Republican,
was elected mayor at the recent sprin 8
election. His promise to divide ap-
pointments fairly between the two fac
lions was attacked Immediately after
the election by men who wanted every
thing. Swartz was spirited out of the
city. it is said.
The term of Samuel L. Black, the out
going mayor, expired at midnight Sat
urday night but Mayor Swartz could
not be found today and consequently
the city ran itself.
Leaders threaten to have Mayor
SwartZ impeached as soon as he takes
his seat for the alleged violation of the
Garfield corrupt practices act, which
imposes penalty for making ante-elec-
ton promises and spending over Ger
tain sum of money to secure election.
Samuel L. Black, the retiring mayor
Is president of the American League of
Municipalities.

BECOMING A MOTHER.
A Sure Way. to Avoid Danger.

Every true woman wants to be a
mother. A baby is the dream of her life
the browning glory of womanhood-
true happiness can never be known
without the blessings a child brings.
Yet the ordeal through which all
mothers must pass is SO full of pain,
anxiety and fear, that many a young
life is sacrificed because of the inability
to undergo the struggle of childbirth.
It is not necessary to suffer in bring
ing new life into the world. By the
use of Mothers Friend," the suffer
ing and danger can be avoided, and
the hour robbed of its dread and pain
This remedy is praised by thousands
who have tested it. Every woman is

pain and suffering which may be in
store for her. The little book, Before
Baby is Born" will be sent free to any
address upon application to the Brad
