AS anticipated, the insurance com
panies have decided to make an advance
Of % per cent in rates at all points east
of the Rocky mountains, in order to re-
coup themselves for recent losses. This
is to be made independent of the charac-
ter of the risks or the relative ability of
different places to cope with fires. Now
would be an excellent time for some Of
the western companies not hit in the re-
cent big fires In the east to get even
with the alleged ''strong companies"
which have ridiculed the western con-
Germs. Present rates are certainly high
enough to be remunerative and there is
no reasOn why any western city should
be made to pay extra for bad invest
ments In the east.

On Again and on Again.

The owner of the popcorn stand on
the corner of Second avenue and
East Seventeenth street did not wait
for sunny day to again put out his
awning that the mayor, aldermen and
police force combined have failed to
suppress. This morning, in spite of
a gray sky the wing came down and
the awning went up and business was
done at the old stand. 1t looks as
though it is going to he necessary to
call out the state militia.

came down and the wing was folded
up. but as on the former occasion when
IL was Suppressed there was no
promise made that ii would not again
be brought out at the whim of the
owner.

MAY REVOLUTIONIZE
THE GAME OF BILLIARDS

There are here a good many men
who are fond of the game of billiards
and interested in any new things that
appear in connection with it. They
Will be attracted by the declaration
that billiards may be entirely revo-
lutiOnized by a game which has
been devised by Nat Ward. one of the
cleverest billiard and pool players jim
tho country. He has been handling "a
cue for 30 years and has met every
expert worth tackling. There is
scarcely trick or fancy shot on the
table that he cannot duplicate, and
he has given his new game II thorough
trial in the Columbia academy. at No.
1871 Fulton, street, Brooklyn. y. Y.
The S-square-space game, as it is
called, is formed on any sized table
by drawing a line through the center
of the table lengthwise and three
lines across. at the second, fourth
and sixth diamonds, making eight
squares of equal size. These will
measure - inches on a AZ table and
Is inches ON table 5X1O. There are
eight anchors 3X6 inches at the points
where the lines touch the rail, the lat
ter space measuring 3X3 inches each
side of the main space line.
The rules for the games are the
same as those governing the 14-inch
balll-line game with few slight var
iations. The most important is that
at least one object ball must be driv-
en- out of its space on every second
counting play.
If the cue ball becomes frozen to
either object ball. all the balls must
be replaced as at the beginning of
the game. \ player cannot count a
shot made when the cue ball is forced
off the table. The ball must be plac-
ed at the whitehall spot. and the op-
posing player shoots from where his
ball lies.
Counting within the anchor lines is
limited to three shots only for profess
SIGNALS and Class \ and Class Il anna
teurs. The game can be played with
three or four balls, but the beginner
is advised to start with three.
Mr. Wards contention is that the
new space game will bring together
in the same class and on equal terms
100 players where now there can be
found only few professionals in one
class.

FLAVOR STAMPS TO SUIT.
DruEgist's New Way of Pleasing HIS

nuisance until the rival drug store
becomes substation of the postoffice.
Then the druggist begins to realize
that the person who buys stamp may
want a piece Of soap or a toothbrush,
or bottle of something on which
there is druggists modest profit.
Then he often puts sign in his win
low by which his neighbors may see
that he carries full line of postage
stamps and postal cards, that his di-
rectory is always at the service Of the
public, and that, incidentally. he com
pounds prescriptions carefully.
One enterprsng druggist on the
North Side has introduced novel fea-
ture in his postage stamp business.
He keeps the stamps in compartments
which have been favored in various
ways, and when customer asks for
a stamp he inquiries What flavor will
you have: lemon, vanilla, wintergreen
or peppermint" The customer usual
ly looks mystifed, but soon discovers
that the stamps are really favored.
and the druggist thinks he has hit
upon a way to retain his stamp bust

THE WOES OF LINEMEN.
No Pan c Putting Up Telegraph Service
In Spu.h Africa,

A telegraph line is being built across
South Africa and occasionally bits of
information regarding the undertaking
find their way to civilization. These
reports show that the hardships suf-
fered by linemen and the difficulties
they are compelled to overcome are
something tremendous. The line has
now been carried up to the southern
shore of Lake Tanganyika. During the
last 200 miles the road was impossible
for vehicles and all the supplies and
material had to be transported by car
riers. One section of the line passes
through a swamp in which vegetation
grows to such height during the we.
season as to top the wire and cause
troublesome leakage. The natives can
not be induced to 60 in during the sea-
son and cut down the weeds owing to
the swarms OF crocodiles. OF another
section the elephants have caused sew
eral interruptions by breaking off the
poles. In some of the forests through
which the line passes trees are met
measuring over 100 feet in circumfer-
ence. Some Of the ravines are i'm
passable even to the linemen during
the rainy season owing to the paths
being under water and the rank
growth OF vegetation. .r..s- t'f
