Insurance Agents Discuss the
Schedule of New Rates Viii!
Advance Most Rates.

A meeting of special agents held
in Louisville was called on Monday
Aug ii to discuss the application
in the territory o. the Kentucky
and Tennessee Board of Fire Un-
derwriters, of the new schedule
now being put into effect as rapid
ly as possible throughout the Unit
ed States. Il will be remembered
by every man who has to buy in
surance that fiat advance of 25
per cent, was ordered, at New
York meeting held last January,
on all risks in town not rated with
in the last twelve months under
some approved schedule. The ex-
cuse for this was that the losses
had been so enormous and such a
large number of companies had
failed that the remaining compan-
les found it necessary to. take the
step for protection.
The entire United States has
been divided into six classes, not
based on population, wealth or
health. but on fire fighting vacili-
ties. By this the basis rate for
each class is made and the indi-
vidual risks are rated with 1T as
guide. All defects are charged,
for the more there are the higher
the rate.

Took subscriptions at Reduced
Rates.

Cordova, Alabama, has been vic
timized by a young man who
solicited subscriptions to lead
ing magazines and newspapers at
reduced prices, claiming that he
was throwing his commission away
in order to get up one thousand
subscribers to win a scholarship in
an Atlanta business college. A
great many took people advantage
of the low prices.

the same as in the above corpora

ticular. Lexington Leader.

'winsome winona." /"

ICcotianu, VlSlteu w mona lasC year
and enjoyed its attractions, he
gave to it name that will long be
remembered and used by those
who take their vacations at this
lovely spot. 1t was "Winsome
Winona. 1t is a fitting name,
for nowhere in all the country is
there is place where such name
can better be used. Nowhere on
the globe is the scene brighter, the
sky bluer, the grass greener, the
moonlight clearer, or the air more
life-giving. 1t is the place for the
student, the professional man, the
business man, the solitary man,
the scientist, the social man, the
poet, and the old and the young.
" is the paradise of children.
Winona is famed for it's marvel
Gus scenic splendor, it's magnifi
cent sunsets, the abundance of
natural mineral waters. "Winona,
the beautiful" it suggests spring
ing fountains, running brooks,
beautiful lakes and wooded land
scapes. No more charming place
could have been selected for such
a great educational and religious
gathering as is now held every
summer.
1t is worth journey of many
miles to see the Improvements
made since last year. Very wisely
the management have decided not
to permit art to destroy nature,
and all over the grounds are little
parks just as God made them, but
at other places can be found flow
ers so arranged to delight the eyes
of all. The walks have been great
ly improved, and already several
miles of the old board walks have
have given away to permanent
ones of cement. Over one hundred
new cottages have been erected
since last year. Many of the old
er buildings have been enlarged
and improved, and yet the increase
in the number of visitors some
days taxes the entire capacity of
the grounds. The attendance dur
ing the last month has averaged
about one thousand more than last
year. The summer school has had
nearly four times as many pupils
as in any previous year. The pro-
gramme has been of the very best,
from three to five good lectures on
concerts daily. The largest crowd
came to hear Miss Ellen M. Stone
tell the story of her captivity. She
had to deliver her address twice,
and had probably five thousand in
the audience each time; many
more would have been glad to hear
but could not gain admittance to
the auditorium. There are great
many nentuckians here and they
seem to come from all parts of the
State. There never was such a
place for meeting old friends, and
greeting new ones. One charm of
the place is the liberties of dress,
which add so much to comfort and
pleasure and are claimed by all.
Hats are discarded by the ladies,
and the walking skirt and shirt
waist are in evidence everywhere.
The business man or minister need
not wear a coat or vest, but are
privileged even to discard the stiff
collar. While the lectures of the
last few weeks have been greatly
enjoyed, all are looking forward to
the Bible Conference which began
Sunday, August 18th, when the
real feast will be spread and the
great crowds will be present.

NEGROES IN INDIANA.

Here is another evidence of the
fact that northerner" don't like Mig

-Four shootings and one murder, in
which negroes took part, have been
followed by not only closing clubs,
and saloons conducted by negroes,
but colored people are leaving the
city. They are afraid to stay here,
owing to the feeling against them
among the white people. The negroes
say they cannot get food and service
at the restaurants. although they have
the money with which to pay for it."

Burial Sermon Aroused Indignation
of Friend Of the Deceased

OF Friend OF the Deceased.
A writer in the Boston Transcript
describing Scrub Oaks" settle
n.ent of undesirable people in South
eastern Massachusetts, tells tale of
the death of one of the residents and
the efforts of frank spoken preacher
among them to point moral. After
the reading of portion Of scripture
and the making of prayer, the bio
graphical part of the sermon began
in which attention was called to the
ungodly lives of the Scrub Oakers"
in general, and the deceased in partic-
ular, with this startling conclusion,
And l have no doubt that the late
Mr.. W is even now crashing his
teeth in hell" This was too much for
old P, one of the intimates of the
departed, and he strobe from the
church in high dudgeon, and was
found at ~ close of the service ex-
citedly pacing back and forth across
the church green and squirting tobac
co juice in all directions. Some one
asked what he thought of the re-
marks as to his friend. DIR S. has
told blank lie says p, for !.
know for certainty that the old man
hasn't had a tooth in his head for
over twenty years."

was worthy of the aid of charity.
Miss Mary Roark, police matron, is
