TO RAISE INSURANCE RATES
Decision of Officials of the Leading
Fire COMPANIES.

The New York Journal of Commerce of
today says that at largely attended
meeting of fire insurance companies, held
Tuesday afternoon, resolution was
adopted providing for an advance in rates
throughout the United States east of the
Rocky Mountains, with the exception of
New York city and its immediate vicinity.
The resolution. as given by the Journal
Of Commerce. gives as the reason for this
advance that losses have been very heavy,
and during 1901 a rema rkable number of
fire insurance companies were forced to
liauidate The Patterson and Waterbury
confiagrations coming on the heels of a
bad year necessitated prompt action by in
surance companies.
1t was agreed that throughout the coun-
try named rates shall be advanced 25 per
cent on mercantile stocks. except such as
occupied as dwellings above the grade floor
and on frame store buildings: also on all
manufacturing risks and other special
hazards which have not been rated under
revised and approved schedules within one
year.

A dispatch to the New York World from

Schleys visit to Albany was marred today
by State Senator Timothy E. Ellsworth.
who for political reasons tried hard to snub
the naval officer.
Admiral Schley came from Washington
to attend the dinner Of the Legislative Re-
porters Association. He made a tour of
the capitol this morning, and after being
presented to Gov. Odell visited the state de-
partments.
When he reached the vicinity Of the SEN

county hurried to the chair of President
Pro Tenn. Ellsworth and said:
Admiral Schley is outside; I think the
senate should give him cordial welcome" !"
"Oh. don't know" answered Senator
Ellsworth.

honor to distinguished naval officer, said
Senator Armstrong In surprise.
'Oh. l am not going to have this senate
make fool Of itself for that man; that's 8
all there is about it." said Ellsworth.
In consequence Admiral Schley had to
hold an informal reception In the corridor
outside the senate chamber
Then the admiral and his escort proceeded
to the assembly chamber. News of their
coming preceded them, and Majority
Leader AHdS promptly moved tnat COM
mittee be named to escort the admiral to
Speaker Nixon's chair. This was done, and
the entire chamber broke into applause as
the admiral appeared.
Senator Ellsworths action was generally
condemned. 1t was stated that he acted as
he did because he believes Admiral Schley
a dangerous political possibility
The admiral during his stay in Albany
will meet ex-senator David B. Hill and
other democrats Of prominence. A trip to
WOlfertS ROOSt is also said to be on the
program.
During the day the admiral visited the
public schools and tomorrow will attend a

ALEXANDRIA, Va, February 49, 1902
Argument on the petition from the board
of police commissioners for a mandamus to
the expenses of the board in the litigation
with Mayor Simpson about a year ago
will be heard at Manassas Saturday March
1. before Judge Charles E. Nicol Of the cir
cult court. The commissioners presented to
council bill for the sum of $500. or as
much thereof as might be necessary. but
1t was refused on the ground that council
had not been consulted about the institu-
ton of suit nor had authorized the action
of the board in any way. The commission
ers then decided to carry the case into the
courts. They have retained Attorney c. c.

As general rule meat once a day Is sufficient

But many of the most nutritious foods are diff

brain workers to eat largely OF grains and yege-
tables where the digestion IL too weak to assimi-

1t is always best to get the best results from our

should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed
digestive organs. and several years. experience
has proven Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very
safe pleasant and effective digestive and q remedy
which may be taken daily with the best results
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be called
patent medicine. they do not act on the bowels
nor any particular organ but only on the food
eaten. They supply what weak stomachs lack
pepsin dastase, and by stimulating the gastric
glands increase the natural secretion OF hydro
chloric acid.
People who make a daily practice Of taking one
or two OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each
meal are to have perfect digestion, which
means perfect beaitn.
There ia danger Of forming an injurious habit
