A Favorable Mortality.


We had very favorable mortality ex-
perience for the year. the losses incurred
being so much less than those expected by
the Mortality Table and provided for by
our premiums and reserves as to make
saving OF $5i1 a6S. While our death rate
varies somewhat from year to year. such
has been the care exercised in the accept
ance of risks that the variations have so
far all been well within the amounts called
for by the Table. affording very material

The Interest Rate and Its Incidents.
The past four or FIVE years have been
notable for the great volume of loans paid
of by borrowers, for a great dminution in
the demand for loans by new borrowers,
the consequent accumulation of funds
awaiting investment, and a decline in the
rate OF interest pending a revival Of de-
mand. The hard times of the early nine
ties with the panic Of 1856 ard the depres-
sion following, made a great many solvent
borrowers anxious to get Jut from under
the burden OF debt and interest paying. and
forced a great deal OF foreclosure In the

the Aid Of an Orchestra In
stead of H Boss.

Building a railroad in the Soudan is
not carried on to the sound of the voice
of an Irish boss" directing a gang of
Italian laborers. As becomes the mild
er atmosphere of the tropics, a railroad
in those regions is built to the LAS
civious pleasing of a lute,' or the
African equivalent. The sofas" are
the working people and the 'griots"
are the musical ones. The sofas" will
not work unless the "griots'' play. So
every gang of men has its orchestra.
The ''griots" play on flutes and rude
harps the peculiar "rag-time" tunes of
Africa, and the picks and shovels of the
sofas" go industriously as long as the
music lasts. Let the music stop and
the work slackens and then fails alto
gether.
Fancy a gang of Italian laborers en-
ployed in the construction of a line of
railroad in the United States insisting
that III T%rovatore" should be played
for them while they worked. In the
Soudan it has been found impossible
, to get work out of the natives in the
construction of railroads unless music
was furnished. Every contractor who
has tried it has failed. So to the sound
of music the steel rails are penetrating
the Congo region and forcing their way
through the Soudan. To every gang of
40 or so men there are assigned two
harp players and a flute player. AS
long as the music keeps up the black
laborers dc not seem to feel fatigue.
Generally the musicians get tired be-

BLUNDERS In BOUNDARIES.
Special Council Meeting HeId-FOurth
and Fifth Ward Changes.

series of blunders has considerably
complicated the work of including in the
Fourth and Fifth wards land west of the
city recently annexed. First. an ordinance
annexing the land was passed. Next an or
dinance changing the precinct boundaries
was introduced and referred TO a commit
tee. A special meeting of the Council was
called last night to pass the ordinance. 1t
was discovered that no ordinance had been
introduced changing the ward boundaries,
and. therefore the precinct ordinance
would be futile. II was also discovered by
the committee that the precinct ordinance
was faulty, and the committee recommend
ed amendments. The precinct ordinance
was passed, as amended, and an ordinance
changing the ward boundaries In harmony
with the precinct boundaries was intro
duced.
1t was intended to hold another meeting
of the Council after midnight to pass the
ward ordinance. but the decision was
changed. and. instead. meeting will be
held tonight. The reason for haste Is that
the city charter provides that no changes in
ward or precinct boundaries shall be made
within month before an election.
The land TO be added to the seventh pre-
cinet Of the Fourth ward lies west of IT..
The western boundary of the precinct will
be the first road west of White river and
Myers free gravel road The land to be in
cluded in the sixteenth and seventeenth
precincts of the Fifth ward lies just north
of those precincts. The western boundary
tended north. and the northern boundary
Will be Clark street, extended west.
