ever struck to get the fifteen cents

The lady grasped. Visions of what
might happen if she were seen with a
cigarette between her teeth by any

she almost tainted. But the doctor
was ineXOralde. The lady followed
his directions, and in a week the

that the lady is now a confirmed

TENNESSEE STATE NENs S
Insurance Loses.

Eighty per cent. of the fire insurance
companies doing business in Tennessee
have made their annual reports, and
from these Assistant Commissioner
Craig has made a rough statement of
the percentage of loss. The home COM
panies lost an average of 35.S per cent.
OF their premiums collected. Com
panies Of other States lost 71.O9 per
cent, and the foreign companies 1OG
per cent. The average per cent. of loss
in the State for the year was $50 per
cent. Thirty-five per cent. of the pre-
U1iums represents approximately the
expenses of carrying on business.
From the combination of expenses and
losses il appears that the twain, gen
orally speaking. exceeded the pre-
miums by ESQ per cent The fire in
surance business in Tennessee, from
the percentages of losses of all com
panies, has not been profitable since
1896, when the loss ratio was only 53.
In lS9S the percentage of loss was 81. 81.
and in lsg5 the figures ran up as high

The TraYeIer,s Plate.

ConnOisseurs of China are invited to
sympathize with an indianapolis
woman who bought in Dresden a
plate that she would not have parted
with for several times its price. She
dared not trust the plate in her trunk,
or even in her satchel, but had it
carefully wrapped and tied and car
ried it about in her hand. She
guarded that plate as if it were made
OF diamonds. She carried it all over
Europe. down the Rhine and through
Germany, through France, Italy and
the British isles. She had it in her
hand when she landed in the Union
station at indianapolis, and kept hold
of it, ''iust for luck" till she reached
her house. There" she said, thank
goodness I've brought that thing
home unbroken!" and forthwith she
set the precious plate down so hard
on the marble-topped table that it
broke into 2S pieces.-Indianapolis

Whether miracles are possible or cft-n
performed in these modern days or rot
does not signify. We are not justified in as
suming them without evidence, and t
would be taking one for granted TO indu z,
today in belief that any one OF the lesa-
tion people in Pekin is alive to tell tEe
story Of the awful tragedy of which they
appear certain to haze been the victims.
Further details concerning the direct
news from the doomed diplomats. received
by the German Admiral at Taku, in the form
of = despatch from DR.. de Bergen, inter
prefer to the German Legation, counter
signed by Sir Robert Hart, make the situa-
tion appear blacker than ever. The call
for help was written on June % nine days
ago. at which time the foreigners were all
concentrated in the British Legation COM
pound. which they were defending against
twenty thousand Chinese troops, and an
infuriated mob Of the pOpulace. Their food
supplies and their ammunition were nearly
exhausted, and the assumption is that they
were within twenty-four hours Of the ex-
treme limit Of resistance. Therefore. il is
regarded here and in Europe as morally
and massacred.
The leading powers. while acting upon
that theory. and preparing to throw their
forces into the Empire, yesterday were still
assuming that state CT war did not exist
as far as the Chinese Government was con-
oerned. and were all willing to treat the
conditions in China as incidental TO a re-
bellion which the legitimate authorities
were unable to suppress. II is said that
even Germany was inclined to the
same view. for the sake Of harmony. al
though it is rather to be expected that the
Kaiser will take a bold initiative. and ask
the other interested states to join in war
measures on a larger scale than had been
contemplated previously. Germany's posi-
tion is different from that Of the others. 1t
is now certain that Baron Won Ketteler was
murdered on June Is by Chinese regular
troops while on his way TO the Chinese
Foreign Office That was before the Taku
forts had been summoned by the inte-na-
tional admirals. and before any act had
been committed against the Government OF
the Empress Dowager. Consequently a
clear casus beIli was given to Germany, and
it would be entirely proper for Emperor
Wilhelm to declare war without reference
to any other power. He is not likely tc
do so, however. as far as can be learned.
As a sign that, for immediate purposes.
harmony may be preserved among the in
teryening Governments. and joint opera
tons thereby be made possible it is graf
flying to note that Russia, as well as the
United States, Great Britain and France
has promptly informed Japan that her de-
spatch of large body Of troops to China
will be welcomed. That will hep out the
situation materially, and it should not be
many days before large japanese con in
gent can be landed at Taku. Then the
international forces will be sufficiently
strong to make the rush to Pekin. IN
happily, it is all but positively certain tlzt
they will be too late to save the ministers
and other foreigners
