Providence public TO need any COM
menting upon, suffice to say that they
are the equal Of any on the vaudeville
stage If not a little better. Their new
act in which they will appear Is said
to be corker. and if it beats their
old time one it certainly must be.

IF THEY SHOULD STEAL
What Could Be Done With Postal
Officials in Cuba ?

Washington. Feb.1.-The question has
arisen at the postoffice department as
to the bond responsibility of the post
office clerks and other employees in Gu
ba, all of whom are under bond to the
postmaster of New York. No actual
case has arisen which a decision
must be made, but in view of the diplo-
matte status of the island the military
government established by the United
States and the appointment of civilian
employees at military postal stations to
establish and operate the postal service
for the people of Cuba there has been
some discussion among officials as to
how postal officials or employees should
be proceeded against in the event of
defalcation of funds, which are under
stood to be Cuban funds. There was
some informal discussion of the sub
iect today and it was pointed out that
while the postal employees sent from the
limited States to inaugurate the postal
service from Director of Posts Rath-
bone down, are civil officers, yet they
collect funds, which it is stated may be
termed military revenue, and it is in
sisted. certainly not funds belonging to
the United States proper. Under these
circumstances the line of procedure
against a possible defaulting employe is
not clear and if such case arises some
knotty problems are anticipated. The
complexity as to the proper procedure
on bonds is stated to be applicable to
other government employees.

1t was the original intention to have

The programme will be taken up at

Do YOU KNOW YOU'RE
Soaked When You Purchase Fire In
surance in Topeka ?

Topeka people pay out annually $780,.
600 in premiums for fire insurance and
last year the total amount of property
destroyed by fire was $19, ,223.
The figures for 1897, in the Office of
the insurance commissioner, show that
the total amount paid in premiums for
the fire limits of the city of Topeka was
$11, ,94S.50. The statistics for last year
will not be completed before April, but
it will certainly be over 100000 which
shows that, with fire losses amounting
to $40. 900, that five times as much has
been paid out as was lost.
In other words, those holding policies
bet that their property will burn and
the insurance companies bet that it will
not and in four cases out of five the
insurance companies win.
The per cent of fire losses through the
state was 35 per cent of the premiums
paid. In Topeka the loss was Is per
cent or about half. and still the rate
of fire insurance is the same here as
elsewhere in the state. The Topeka fire
department is rated 80 out of 100 for
proficiency, and still the rate is not less
than where departments are rated, per-
hapS, as poor.
Last year only 26.5 per cent of the
property involved by fire was destroyed
and 1875 was saved through the efforts
of the department. The per cent OF
property lost by fire when 1t was en-
dangered does not equal the average
percentage lost on premiums in the
state, showing that the Topeka fire
department saved a greater per cent OF
property endangered than was saved
throughout the state on the entire
amount of premiums paid. According to
the per cent of losses throughout the
state, Topeka is allowed 35 per cent of
losses on the entire amount of pre-
miums paid, but only had half that
amount of loss and is paying the same
rate of fire insurance as is paid where
the loss was up to the limit Of 35 per
cent.

JERNEGAN RETURNS.
He is the Man Who Extracted Gold
From Sea Water.

Boston, Feb. Rev. Prescott j. Jer-
negan, who as the promoter of the Elec-
trolytic Marine Salts company secured
$500 600 and fled to France last July, has
returned to this city and offered to
make restitution in order to escape pun
iShment.
Warrants for Jernegan's arrest have
been held by the police since August
last, and when they were apprised that
he had quietly returned they endeav-
ored to locate him, but without success,
he having left town two hours earlier.
He is said to have gone to a suburban
city where he will remain until friends
can secure the hold up of the warrants
outstanding against him.
