surnnce Company to Retire.
New York. June 12.-As a result of
losses sustained in the Jacksonville fire,
one New York fire insurance company.
which has been operating since 1851, re-
tired to-day from active business. When
the Florida loss was reported it was said
that the Pacific Fire Insurance Company
of New York had been hit hard, although
the exact amount was not known. 1t
developed to-day, however, that the COM
pany's claims, as a result of that one
fire, aggregated $4,000, and that late last
night the company's risks were reinsured
with the West Chester Fire Insurance
Company of New York. The contract Of
reinsurance went into effect to-day, SO
that the Pacific. which ranked high
among the smaller underwriting concerns,
is no longer in the business. The Jack
sonville losses did not cripple the Pacific
for 1T had surplus beyond all claims,
but it reduced its margin above capital to
such an extent that the directors decided
to withdraw from the field. The Pacific
had more than $60000,OO0 of insurance in
force, which Will be amply protected I'M
der the terms of the reinsurance deal.

TRACES OF ANCIENT MINES.

(From the Nebraska City News of October 16,
1851
"The oldest inhabitant' will remem-
ber that few years since there was
good deal of excitement about the traces
of ancient mining that were discovered
along the Weeping Water, about IA
miles northwest of Nebraska City. The
excitement died out in short time, and
little or no investigation or exploration
was made of the mining operations to
crafty the curiosity or develop any
tangible results.

THE CONSERVATIVE AND THE
COMMONER.

DR.. Samuel Johnson once said of the
poet Pope that he played the politician
about cabbages and turnips. That's
Bryan, though lacking the wit to conceal
his demagogism. The peerless one
maintains at the head of the editorial
page of The Commoner this paragraph:
Careful inquiry is made as to the
standing and business methods of those
who advertise in these columns and
readers are asked to report any dis
honesty or unfairness practiced by the
advertisers herein. Please mention The
Commoner in corresponding with
advertisers.
Bryan's holier-t -than-thou air is not
lost on the Nebraska City CoNsERvA-
TIVE, which responds with this clever
take-off:
The CONSERVATIVE has attracted to
it's advertising columns, some OF the
best banking and manufacturing con-
Germs in the United States. The Con-
SENTATIVE has not "made careful in
quiry as to the standing and business
methods of those who advertise in it's
columns" because it is as unnecessary,
and as much work of supererogation,
as to enquire whether light and heat
come from the sun. But, "readers are
asked to report any dishonesty or un-
fairness practiced by the commoner
advertisers herein" and the cadavers of
all persons bludgeoned, sandbagged, or
otherwise murdered by advertisers IN
THE CONSERVATIVE, are especially re-
quested to report, and to always mention
The CONSERVATIVE when corresponding
with different sections Of the globe.
Bryan's assumption of superior virtue
is not only demagogism, it is clumsy
demagogism and to newspaper men of
experience, infinitely amusing. The
fellow is actually so green as to think
that paragraph will fool numbers OF
people and increase proportionately his
popularity.
A newspaper can no more be expected
to vouch for the character and standing
of all who use it's advertising columns
than landlord for the probity of all his
guests. Californian, Saturday,
May 4, 1901.

athlete enters regiment. He brings
good person, but he has all the drill and
tactics yet to acquire. And when he has
acquired them, the fight for a position
of command is still ahead of him. His
book learning in and Of itself will never
carry him to the front. Intellectual
equipment does not alone make sue
cessful man. If it did, there would be no
helpless scholars wandering about the
world.
1t is perfectly true, as Prof. Wood
berry said, that athletic training i'm
poses greater strain on character than
study. To live the life of a student is to
crafty natural inclination, for the
life is seldom led as sacrifice. To per-
form ones allotted tasks in the college
classroom is certainly no great feat, as
is demonstrated by the fact that the ma
jority of college men succeed in doingit.
But to train fairly for athletics, demands
large amount of self-denial, keen
sense Of honor, and, as the professor
said, "the habit of daily attention to
small matters" He might have added
perhaps he did-that it requires
courage, energy, and determination, all
of which are essential to success in life.
The man who has the qualities which
bring success to the athleto-not neces-
sarily the physical qualities, but those of
character-and who adds to them a
large fund of information, will find q
use for his book learning and will dis
Germ it's application to the practical
affairs Of life. Men win success in some
form every year in this world without
learning, and that fact is often foolishly
urged as an argument to show that a
college education is unnecessary. But
college men also win success, though, as
Prof. Woodberry said, they do so, not
because nor in spite of their book learn
ing, but by reason Of their characters.
Perhaps if college men laid less stress
upon the Importance Of their book learn
ing as an equipment for the struggle of
life, we should hear fewer unwise COM
ments on the unfltness of the college
man for practical work.-New York

Che Conservative.

Armstrong, armed and equipped with
picks and shovels, determined on par
tial examination Of the works. They
found them presenting the same general
appearance as represented--deep trenches
from 30 to 30 feet in width and full of
different kinds of rock broken into fine
particles, which indicate, it would seem,
without doubt, that a process of blasting
had been carried on. Did these ancient
miners possess knowledge of the secret
and subtle forces Of gun powder? Who
knows?
"The operations would indicate the
works of miners for many weeks or
months. They were evidently carried
on on pretty extensive scale. For
what? This question we cannot at
present answer. 1t is thought by many
that there are extensive lead mines in
the vicinity. Lead in small fragments
has, in several instances, been found up
on the farm Of Mr.. Kirkpatrick, a short
distance from where the mining has
been carried on. Others are firm in the
opinion that richer mineral has been
there worked and will be again dis
covered. A thorough exploration can
alone determine.
"These relics and vestiges of ancient
mines are additional testimony showing
that a race, civilized, hardy and indus
trious once, and previous to the Indian,
roamed over these prairies and along the
blue valleys, bathed in the limpid
streams and refreshed themselves upon
the products of the chase and soil.
What high purposes and great plans
were theirs, what deeds of achievement
and ambition belonged to them, no rec
ord is left. Story and song are silent; !;
and the imagination is left to fill up the
events of their history with their heroic
deeds and manly achievements, or sad
tales of woe and that which oauseth the
heart to mourn, just as ones imagination
pictures it. What this race achieved
and what it thought and what dire
curse as in one night swept it from the
earth, is and will probably always re-
main a mystery. Their records died
with them-even the nations epitaph
was unwritten."
The drift of thought fifty years ago,
in both geology and archaeology, was to-
wards large catastrophes "a high civiliz-
alton destroyed by an infuriated deity
by means of a cataclysm, as in the writ
ings of Moses and 10 Smith. This par
ticular problem is apparently still open:
and it may yet be capable of solution,
and of an easier one than this early
writer supposed. The time seems to
have come for such questions as this to
be taken up.
