THE POTOMAC TO RETURN.
Suspended Insurance Company
Wishes to Rejoin the Board.

suspended insurance company
Wishes to Rejoin the Board.
A settlement of the local fire insurance
war by the readmittance of the Potomac
Company to the Board of Underwriters
and a general return of good feeling and
harmony between the local companies and
the agencies is now believed to be cer-
tain in the near future. The Potomac
Company has sent to the board a formal
proposition that certain concessions will
be made by it for the sake of an adjust
nent, if the board on it's part will also
concede some Of the points it has held
out for up to the present time 1t is I'M
derstood that the proposition will be ac-
cepted by the board.
The chief point on which the Potomac
Company split away from the board sew
eral months ago was the question of
multiple agencies" The Potomac Com
pany has nearly twenty agencies and tho
board has a rule that no more than three
agencies shall be allowed any one COM
pany. The Potomac refused to abide by
this rule when it was adopted and was
suspended from the board in consequence.
The terms of the proposition made by
the Potomac have not yet been given to
the public but it is understood that 1t
agrees 10 cut Ol tIc greater part VI i.'
agencies. 1t is believed that it may be
allowed to keep six agencies on the ground
that it is lately organized consolidation
OF two companies.
II is known that many of the impor-
tant business and financial interests of
the city which are connected in various
ways with the different insurance COM
panies have urged the Potomac strongly
to take the step that it has.
There is said to be the possibility that
Manager Sullivan. of the Northwestern
Company, will also join the board or at
least make an agreement to keep UP to the
| boards rates in the future. This will

country are evincing lively interest in the

An exchange furnishes the fol
lowing manifold facts: A preacher
once said to an editor: "YOu edi-
tors do not tell the truth. If you
did you could not live. Your
newspaper would be a failure.
The editor replied: "Iou are right;
and the minister who will at all
times tell the bare truth about his
members. alive or dead. will not
occupy the pulpit more than one
Sunday, and he will find it neces-
Sary to leave town in a hurry.
The press and the pulpit go hand
in hand with whitewash brush and
kind words, magnifying little viz
tues into big ones. The pulpit,
press and gravestOnes are the
great saint-making triumvirate. .
The minister went away looking
very thoughtful, while the editor
turned to his work to tell about
the surprising beauty of the bride,
when in fact she was as ugly as a
mud fence.

Wolverine members.

Worlds fair in Chicago, when the

in the Palmer house with friend
from Adrian. He saw the infanta
coming down the corridor, bearing
directly toward himself and friend.
The only bodyguard she had was
young fellow with a light cane.
'Guess I'll shake hands with
her. said Smith to his friend.
'Bet you So you daren't,' was
the contemptuous reply of Smiths
fellow tOwns-man who meant to
call what he thought a bluff.
'Tll take it, was the quiet re-
ly.

Smith got up, walked down the
corridor until he meet the infanta.
With a sweeping bow he attract
ed her attention and said:
II beg pardon! But this probab-
ly the only opportunity shall. ever
have of meeting you"
"The infanta grasped the situa-
ton and also the hand Smith ex-
tended. 1t amused her and she
smiled, while her escort, the man
with the cane, looked as if lie
would like to rap Smith over the
head with it.

WHERE CYCLONES ARE BRED.
Drama Of the Elements in the Rocky
Mountains.

"FOr the world of the Missis-
sippi, the Rocky Mountains are the
points of origin not only of the
rivers and water flows, but of the
condensing of the moisture of the
air, the banked SHOWS, the subter-
ranean currents...which form the
basis of the entire watershed.
Their cold attitudes seem to shed
the waves of air which conflict
with the warmer waves in the
plains below, and in their battles
generate the cyclones and the less
er windy terrors which devastate
the Western plains. They are the
beginning of the heart breaking
billiards. which tie up the traffic
of the metropolitan streets, or chill
beyond endurance the homes of
the poor. They are, in a word, the
atmospheric top of the continent,
and one wouldexpect to find among
! them the same eXcesSeS of nature
that are seen on a smaller scale
when the wind whips the flags OF
the roofs of lofty buildings, OF
when dark clouds lower over the
Jersey hills or the gentle mount
aims of the Cumberland.
"Yet, though the Rocky Mount
aims are the beginning of such aw
full things as cyclones and biz
yards, they are singularly immune
from the terrible effects of these
phenomena when they reach then
full growth Oh the PLAINS below
The storms are sharp, strong and
typical. They are dramatic. But
lacking in the chance of long run
across the plains, where force is
constantly accumulated with eacl
successive mile of progress, then
life is usually Of short duration
and their immediate sphere OF
action small. They are as if all
the phenomena, the storm from its
genesis to it's conclusion, were
given in miniture. In this re
spect, the storms of the Rockies
differ from those of the Swiss Alps
The latter are severe, protracted
and full of catastrophe. The form
er complete themselves briefly and
then let the balance of the cont
nent wrestle with what they have
given forth.
| "Probably nowhere is storm and
climate so varied. All phases OF
natures cataclyms alternate will
all phases of natures peace ant

sunshine to black gloom frequent
ly is run within a single cay or al
