well-armed insurgents yesterday. The

men.
Governor Flores OF the province Of
Rial, says the members OF the band
who recently captured Ampil the
president Of Cainta province, were
neither Ladrones nor insurgents. He
thinks a private feud was at the bot
tom of the matter Word has been
received that Ampil is still alive, but
under torture and expecting death.
General Lukban has offered to as

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
SmalIpox Over IeIenhone

An amusing conversation that took
place in a West Side home the other
day was told to the Wayfarer and Is
worth repeating.
A friend stopped in to tell of a small
pox case in the home of friend in
Brandywine.
There is a telephone in the infected
house and one in the West Side house.
and after discussing the case It was
suggested that the phone be used 10
induire about the condition Of the pa
tient
1T will not take minute to find
out said the housewife but before
she could ring the bell the visitor re-
marked:
DO YOU think it safe?"
What do you mean? You don't
think YOU could contract II talking over
the telephone, do your"
well. / don't know you might. and
| would not do il if I were you"
Although doubling that she could
catch the disease over the telephone.
the housewife did not use the instru-
ment She asked the Wayfarer what
he thought of it and was much re-
lieved when he assured her that it was
impossible. as the breath Of the person
with whom one might be talking did
not come over the wire. but the voice
simply caused vibration by coming in
contact with the diaphraigm
Not being supersutious, the Way
farer does not believe in dreams, but
he had one recently that made him con-
gratulate himself that he had been
vaccinated.
OF course. all dreams come TO us in
hazy. half forgetful way, but It seems
as though the Wayfarer, during one
of his daily rambles, passed a house
from which a yellow flag huttered.
Just as the Wayfarer passed the house
woman with all evidence Of variOlOid.
stepped from the door and started in
his direction. With the usual result,
the Wayfarer was glued 10 the spot
and try as he would to run he was I'M
able
Just as the woman was about to en-
brace the Wayfarer he awoke OF
course the Wayfarer is glad that it was
only a dream.

INSURANCE RATES ARE HIGHER
On lccsunt Of Large and Numerous Fires
Of tho PaSt Year

Delaware, after enjoying distinc-
tion in having the lowest insurance
rates obtainable, is to be treated to an
advance in this direction At a
recent meeting of the Under
writers Association of the Mid
die Department, in whose con
trol is the promulgation Of the vari-
ous rates applying 10 different States,
it was decided that, after considering
the condition of the territory in the
associations control, affected by
the large and numerous fires which
have occurred during the past three
years, rendering certain classes of in
surance business Improbable, the as
Isociation is of the opinion that not
only tine good of the companies. but
the safety of the public demands that
rates should be Immediately and large
ly advanced, less the companies be
forced to withdraw their indemnity
That The rates. minimum and specific.
on all manufacturing risks and other
special hazards, with certain excep-
tiOns. and the contents thereof. in the
territory of the Underwriters Associa-
tion of the Middle Department. are ad-
vanced 25 per cent. from March 1. 1902.
That the rates on all mercantile stocks
.Of goods and store furniture and fix
lures pertaining to same in brick build
ings, and on all frame mercantile
buildings and their contents through
out the territory Of this association. are
advanced 25 per cent. beginning March
l., 1902.
The pubic will appreciate that this
Iis an extraordinary measure. the re-
suit Of a serious condition of insurance
affairs.
The new rate is said to meet with
general appreciation among insurance
men. Business men will feel the ad-
vance, but dwellings will not be af-
fected Especial stress is laid upon de-
Ipartment stores and manufacturing
concerns.

TIE CORRECT VIEW

We are glad to reprint the following
statement Of the opinion of the Morn
ing News:
The Street and Sewer Department
should take some positive action upon
the gas contract today We believe the
double system of lighting the streets is
wise. We do not contend that all the
street lights ought to be gas or that
all Of them ought to be electric. II is
well 10 have the two systems, so that
in the event of one failing the other
will be in service. If at any time the
gas works should be burned, the city
could fall back upon electric lights, Just
as 1t had to fall back upon gas when
the electric system was crippled by the
sleet storm.
Following this paragraph, however,
our contemporary suggests that ere the
Welsbach contract as modified can be
entered into. one Of the directors
should make a full explanation of
many points which have never been
cleared up. and which leave the con
duct of the old commission in an un-
AtNAA 0NAh AAknNs W. AlNf HnOAAu AAAN
TO see all the matters mentioned in the
Morning News cleared up, but suppose
the director who has this knowledge in
his possession refuses to divulge it, and
cannot be compelled to divulge it, is
that any reason for holding mp con
tract which would be beneficial to IN,
city? We think not The modihe,
contract. the terms of which have beer
discussed from time to time, woulC
either prove beneficial to the city o
detrimental. II beneficial shall th'
city be punished because a director re
fuses to divulge certain information
Our contemporary also says that tn
legality Of the old contract has beei
questioned by the City Solicitor. Thi
is true. and that is probably The reasoi
for certain suggested notifications;
the solicitor is now satisfied, the con
tention Of our contemporary vanishe.

Prince Henry will receive a warm
welcome from the ten millions OF Ger

millions who have. more or less, ac-
