Many Women Buy Insurance.

Women are more and more patron
iZing life insurance, and many of the
companies maintain woman's de-
partment, presided over by female
superintendent. The statistics indi-
cate that business women and women
of great wealth are the principal pa
irons. OF course, this does not have
reference to ''industrial'' insurance,
in which the poorer families are SO
extensively interested.

TWO DEAD
And a Property
Loss of $4O0,OOO.
Albany Visited by
ConfIagration.

Albany, N. Y, July 25.-The six story
building of the United Shirt & Collar
Co., running from 36 to A Beaver ST.,
was gutted by fire this morning. The
fire started at 2 a. m. and in two
hours the immense property was COM
pletely destroyed. The building housed
about 20 manufacturing firms and sew
eral hundred employees will be thrown
out of employment. Two firemen lost
their lives and two more were probably
fatally injured during the progress of
the flames.
The financial loss is estimated at
between 100000 and S500,0O0.
Killed; Donald X. Bishop, fireman.
James j. Shelley, fireman.
Injured: Captain Weatherwax;
Barney Shields, fremen.
Missing: william Schefler.
Two hours after the fire broke out,
the walls fell, and the flames spread
to the Old Germania hotel, the new
home of the Albany lodge Of Elks,
which was being remodeled. From the
hotel building, the fire spread on an
eastern line to the building at the cor
ner of Green and Beaver sts., the home
of the Times Union, and at this point
Chief Higgins and the assistant chiefs
turned general attention to keeping the
building in the locality of the fire un.
der line or two of hose. The resi-
Dental row OF apartment houses on
the north side of Beaver st. was threat
ened at all times from the outbreak and
when the walls fell, the piazas Of sew
eral of these houses took fire, and sew
eral additional lines Of hose were
brought into play.
At 315 the north front of the shirt
and collar building from the top to the
third story crashed out into Beaver
street. The narrow street was filled
with firemen, who sought safety In
| fight. The deafening crash of failing
! brick and stone was followed In al
| instant by the crashing of the eastern
wall of the building. This fell over
taking the roof and top story of the
old Germania hotel. The west wall fell
out, going over on top of the Columbia
hotel. The wall fell about 30 feet, tho
big building towering over the Colum
bia hotel that much.
The immense weight crashed through
the roof of the Columbia hotel and TIVE
firemen, Bishop and Shelly, who were
nearest the eastern end of the build
| ing at the time, were caught beneath
the falling mass and their lives crush
ed out. Captain Weatherwax was al
so caught in the debris and suffered
concussion of the spine and interna
injuries. Shields was injured later
In the Columbia hotel the guests
were awakened by the cracking of thu
flames before the alarm of fire wa
sounded All of them got out safely
and many took their belongings will
trem. The infiammable material wifi
the structure was good prey to tn
flames. Furniture stock, paper boxes
and much other infiammable mater
al burned like finder and menace'
the firemen by the intense heat, Thi
morning an insurance man said tn
loss would not be short of $500,000.
The firemen were hindered great.
by the bursting of hose. Many line
burst and the men had difficulty il
cutting out the broken lines.

LETTERS
Throw Light on
Murder Mystery.

Cleveland, O., July 25.-The mystic
rious shooting of Postoffice Clerk Ly-
nam still battles the police, though
Important developments put new light
on the tragedy.
A clew which the detectives thought
would help solve the mystery Of Ly-
nam's murder came to light yester-
day. when they discovered that the
wife Of the murdered man, who re-
sides at Newcastle, Pa, was In the
city last Tuesday. At first they
thought that this visit might have
had something to do with the murder,
but later they discovered that Mrs.
Lyman came here to consult with
her attorney regarding alimony which
Lyman had refused to pay contrary
TO the order of the court.
While searching the house the po-
lice found a number of Lynam's let
ters that members of the family had
from his wife, and in one OF them she
spoke of a friend who wished to mar
ry her. The police are not inclined to
think that Mrs. Lyman or her myste-
rious friend had sufficient motive to
have any hand in the murder. Late
developments make them almost Ger.
tain that there is woman in the
case. Detectives have gone to Youngs-
town, also, to look for man who
fled from this city the night of the
murder. He left on a freight train
md got Off in the Youngstown yards
Lyman, it develops, was attentive tc
several married women. The name
Of q Newburg man of wealth is men
toned in connection with this fact.

A KingIy Prcrorntive.

1t is not generally known that King
Edward since his accession to the
throne has become the guardian of
the children Of the prince and princess
of Wales, and of his other grandchil-
dren, over whom he has complete con-
troll, the rights of their parents being
superseded. This was decided to be
law nearly 200 years ago, by majority
of 10 to'2 of the judges. The right
was frequently used by the Georges,
who had n habit of quarreling with
their sons. Before members of the
royal family can marry they will have
to obtain King Edwards consent, or
the marriage is void. George III. man
aged to secure this power by means of
the royal marriage act, in consequence
of his brothers marrying subjects, to
his great annoyance.-London Tit

Italians In Argentine,

We have no immigration from the
north of Europe. All attempts to se-
cure ii have failed. for reasons which
are not difficult to understand. Immi-
grants from the north of Europe do
not fit in we'll with the conditions here.
The Irish colonists, the American col
onists. the Welsh colonists and the
Mennonite colonists have all shown that
this kind of immigration on any large
scale does not prosper, while the 1tal-
ian does. He is Industrious, he is saw
ing, he is hard worker, lie is peace
able man, he is modest in his demands
on the country. he is n family man,
and while he may be ignorant, he
wants his children to have an education
and he afliliaties with the native Ar
gentine and identifies himself with the
country as no one from the north of
Europe does.-Buenos Ayres Herald.
