OF this sum the insurance company

the $500 insurance he has bought, and
for which he has paid the specific rate
on his property, and the property be-
ing damaged $500, he will get only
1912. 90 This is co-insurance and it's
practical working.
If the loss were in excess of the
amount of the policy, or if it were to-
tai, it would be paid in the same pro-
portion, not exceeding of course the
amount of the contract.
If the classified rate on the property
were $40 thousand, and the insured
had been willing to pay rate thirty
per cent higher, that is $13 a thou
sand, in case of loss or damage to the
extent of $500 or more the insured
would be allowed $500 by the adjuster,
or if he had been insured for $780,
and his loss was $500, or not exceed
ing $500, he would be allowed the full
amount. The object of the rule was
to get more money out of the insured

in paying less than the amount of the
policy.

under the eighty per cent co-insurance
clause, the insurance should have been
1874, 000 to realize the full amount of
the policy. Under the clause, the COM
panies took nine twenty fourths of the
risk and the church fifteen twenty
fourths and the loss, under the policies,
would be paid in the same proper
ton; that is to say, if the loss should
be appraised at $15, 600 the companies
would pay nine twenty-fourths of that
sum or So, 625.
If the appraisal of the property
should be less than $50, coo, the society
would realize larger fraction of the
insurance. The larger the appraisal
of the actual cash value, the smaller
the insurance received; the smaller
the appraisal the larger the proper
tion of insurance paid.
Such is co-insurance.

Morse is employed on a Rutland rail

came to this city yesterday to make
purchases. Returning along the rail
road track he was overtaken by man
calling himself John Smith who told
hard luck story, and later pulled a
revolver on Morse and demanded mon

Morse was wounded in the thigh and
groin. Morse says five shots we're
fired but only two took effect. He is

CO-INSURANCE.

In connection with the recent fire in
this city and the insurance on Christ
church, the inquiry is often made,
What is co-insurance? And the sug-
gestion is sometimes made that insured
property owners are not always fully
informed as to the nature of their poll
cies and IN the event of fire loss
might experience some disappoint-
ment in settling with insurance COM
panies.
There are very few fire insurance
companies to whose policies the CO.
insurance clause is not attached. The
New England Insurance Exchange of
Boston is an association of the repre-
sentatives of the stock insurance COM
panies doing business in the New
England States. The exchange con-
trolls the general policy of the stock
companies doing business in New Eng
land, and makes the rules and regula-
tions that govern their business.

which the rate of premium should be
fixed should be this: The insured
shall maintain insurance ON the prop
erty protected to the extent of eighty
percent of it actual cash value; fail
ing to do this the insured should be
an insurer to the extent of the deficit
and to that extent should bear his
proportion of any fire loss to the prop
erty insured.
The insured could escape this condi-
ton by paying from ten per cent to
fifty per cent more than specifically
rated risks located under the jurisdic-
tion of the Exchange, the extent OF
the insurance below eighty per cent OF
the cash valueof the property insured
determining the rate of increase.
For example: Property valued at
$1,000 isinsured for $500 under the CO.
insurance clause eighty per cent OF
$1,000 is $500. This sum is the basis OF
computations affecting loss under this
policy. The insurance company takes
risk of $500, and under the co-insur.
ance clause the insured is held to be q
co-insurer for $500, the amount of the

Where does the drill or recitation of

1t is said that the excavations being

sively that that city existed long pre-
vious to the appearance of Romulus,
whom history has honored as its found

explorations have shown that Etrus-
cans originally established themselves
on the Aventine Hill, from which
they constantly descended and fought
the Sabines, who inhabited the low
ground at the foot of the hill. This
Etruscan city was Rome, and its wars
were waged generations before Romu'
lus came on the scene. The discovery
of great number Of skulls foIms part
of the evidence. Under Romulus,
who, instead of giving his name to the
city took the name from it, the Rom
