 Laid Hands on the Woman-The Po-
 lice Saved Her.

As he was driving in an open carriage to the CuiraSSier barracks, ac- companied by the heritary prince of SaXe-4ieiningen, q woman in the crowd hurled an axe at the carriage. The rapidity with which the vehicle was passing saved its occupants. The axe, CT hatchet. fell just behind the car riage. The woman was immediately arrested.
 The missile, it developed later. was short handled chopper. The woman is believed, to be insane. Her name is Selma SCnnapke. and she occupied a place in the front rank of the specta- tors. on the side furthest from the em peror The chopper was so well aimed, it now appears. that it actually struck the carriage. A crowd of people who witnessed the outrage threw them selves on his majesty's assailant. but the prompt interference of the police saved the woman from injury.

INSURANCE AGENTS MEET.
Insurance Brokers and a Fire Marshal
 Law Discussed

Hartford Conn, Nov 16.-T1e an- nual meeting of the Connecticut State Association of Local Fire Insurance Agents was held at the board of trade roome in this city this afternoon. It was attended by q large number of gentlemen. representing the fire un- drwriting business in this state.
 The annual address was delivered by President John C. North of New Ha- Ven. AIr North in his address practi- caliy approved of Commissioner Sec fields ruling in regard to insurance brokers. Referring to the need of fire marshal law the speaker said:
 In one respect, at least, we could l believe, improve our present laws by adding the state fire marshal law. such as is in successful operation in Ntassa- chusetts. Today. outside of few cities ill the state, no provision is made for the investigation of fires, and the bringing to justice of the criminal whose work in the country has made it almost impossible for the local agent to place farm risks
 The address was concluded with sev- eral recommendation of interest to fire insurance agents.
