INSURANCE OF woRKMEN.
A System That Is Being Operated with
Great Success I'm Hum
gary.

WOrkmen'S insurance in Hungary is
obligatory only so far as sickness is
concerned. The law of 1891, with refer
ence to insurance against sickness. was
followed by sthe law of 1900, which
created fund for agricultural work
men, although this latter, unlike the one
OF 1891, is not obligatory, says report
translated for Public Opinion by Maui
rice Bellom. The first of these laws
commanded insurance against sickness
On the part of wOrkmen in general, 1eav-
ing the liberty of choice among series
of funds called district funds, factory
funds, construction funds, corporation
funds, society funds, etc, while the sec
Ond law established a relief fund for
agricultural workers and specified that
this fund was to be fed by the work men,
the employers and the state, the work
men being divided into three classes,
according to the amounts of thir con-
trfbutiOnS. OF these classes the first
only has the right to the full payment,
the payment for natural inva1idity, for
old age, and for non-accidenta1 death
being reduced one-half for the workmsn
of the second class, and completely sup
pressed for those of the third. The en-
ployers contribute 120 hellers per work
man at the beginning of the year, and
the state gives an annual fixed subsidy
of 100000 crowns by the law of 1900 ard
10000 crowns by law passed in 1902.
The later law has further provided for
an insurance in case of death ranging
from so to 200 crowns and an annuity
of from IS to 215 crowns per year, de-
pending on the length of membership.
The statistics for insurance or
sickness in Hungary show that the num-
Der of insured increased from 635, $50 to
637 ,343 in 1901. the Importance of the
services rendered by the various funds
appearing from the figures for that
year, during which time the expenses
of the different funds increased to z $780,
600 crowns, Of which 5000 900 were for
pecuniary indemnities, 500 900 hospital
expenses, 100000 medical expenses,
2,190,0 600 medication. and 800, 900 funeral
expenses. The number of sick days was
z.716,971 and the number of patients
treated was 245,627.
The greatest importance is attached
to the project recently prepared, at the
request of parliament, by NJ. Joseph
Szterrayi, and presented to the cham
Der in May, 1903. This project is very
far-reaching and provides for obligatory
insurance in many industries employing
a minimum of IL to 20. The bill states
that employers are to be formed into
groups according to indus End
these again into an ASSOCIATE which
shall provide for injured worF men, the
association being administered by the
employers themselves with the aid of
local commissions and of board of d.
rectors and general assembly. Pensions
are also TO be granted widows and other
dependents of the persons injured and
one-half of the annual salary is given
to a person whose carelessness. OR even
intoxication, has made the accident pos
sible. The state is to contribute from
SOC, 900 to 600,00 crowns to the fund.

The Strange Case

nEAR JUDITH: While am

rested on a charge of burglary, with the
circumstances all against him, 1 must
confess that 1 am not surprised. When
one lives beyond his means, something
is bound to happen in the long run. You
will therefore see the propriety-nay,
the necessity-of thinking no more of

you that the judgment of a mature bust

Judgment
When the speaker came to look over
his committees almost the first thing
that struck him was the necessity of
completely recognizing the postal
committee, the chairman of which had
failed of reelection and the other mem
bers OF which were almost without ex-
ception subject to some failing which
made is inadvisable to put them at the
head of a committee which was des-
tined to handle very knotty and dis
agreeable situation. So he decided to
go outside the committee for a chair
man. He didn't have to look long be-
fore he hit on Overstreet
Overstreet was secretary OF the re-
publican congressional committee last
year when the figures he made before
election were almost exactly verified by
the results. He is a mighty COOL poll

Two New York Hotels.
Only two hotels in New York refuse
to keep their register Of guests open

Fifth Avenue and the WaldOrf-Astoria.
The Fifth Avenue is faYorite resort OF
politicians, and its guests sometimes
prefer not to have it known that they
are there The Waldorf-Astoria has
made its way with leaders in hauIe
finance, with important and unimpor-
tant persons, diplomats and men like
DR.. Amador and N. Varilla with repub-
lies in their brains. The books are not
accessible to the public: lists of guests
cannot be transcribed This is not only
-inten=ed as protection to the guests,
but as a protection to the office staff.
Many business houses send circulars to
"hotel arrivals" when they can get the
names, and at the Waldorf this would
mean each morning the sorting of some
800 additional pieces of mail. The law
only requires that register shall be &c
curately Kept, so that the police or au-

LONGSTREET WAITING FOR THE SIGNAL

of Lookout mountain. where the guns
had range on the town as we'll as
long stretch of the coveted river road.
AS the troublesome sharpshooters
were secure from attack on their own
side of the Tennessee the only way to
get at them was to surprise them on
the river front And something had to
be done quickly. The men were on half
rations. and even the corn fed to mules
had to be guarded to keep the starving
soldiers from stealing it out of the
troughs. Thousands Of mules lay dead
along the old cracker line. victims of
hard work and the enemy's dead shots.
A new cracker line must be opened.
The credit of it has been given to the
late General w. +. Smith (Old Baldy).
The scheme was to drive out the sharp
shooters and thousand of Longstreet's
Confederates at Browns Ferry and
clear the way for Hooker to march in
This would open short road to crack
err headquarters at Bridgeport, where
Hooker lay. 1t was necessary to sur
prise the sharpshooters and the Con-
federate force at Browns Ferry by a
master stroke, and in the early morn
ing hours Of Oct. q 1,4O0 picked men
under lead of General Hazen started
from the Federal camps down the river
In pontoon boats. The bright moonlight
was dimmed by a fog, and the. boats
drifted over the nine mile course until
opposite the ferry, then the soldiers
piled the oars and rowed swiftly to
the Confede shore. The pickets on
watch fired few shots, then fell back

'.'; K; ;'*,' Cracker Line

I Copyright 1903, by G: l.. Kilmer.]
KT'S an old saying that IAN army
travels on its belly" In other
words. nature insists upon the
motto for soldiers, mo bread. no
fight" Putting the word "cracker' for
bread and road for line, the famous
cracker line at Chattanooga was road
for bringing bread to the soldiers in the
trenches. At the close Of October, 1863
the Federal Army of the Cumberland,
transferred from the command of Rose
Grams to that Of Pap Thomas. its
savior at Chickamauga. was preparing
to fight for it's existence at Chatta-
nOoga.
The Federals held Chattanooga. as
the saying Is, but owing to the lay of
the land Bragg's Confederate army on
the outside held the Fedcrals. They
couldn't get out without running the
gantlet of Confederate batteries and
muskets; they couldn't stay without
eating. Chattanooga lies in bend of
the Tennessee river, shut in on the
north. where the Federals approached
it, by rugged mountain barriers. The
narrow valley of the river and the
tributary Lookout valley opening to the
west gave the only means of ingress
possible to the beleaguered army. The
Confederates held the west and south
banks of the river, including Lookout
valley, and the only road available for
Thomas bread train was close to the
river on the north side. General Joe
Wheeler's. raiding troopers dashed at
the road in vain. The Yankees held on
like death, for to let go was to starve
Finally the Confederates posted a line
of sharpshooters ten miles long on the
south bank to shoot the horses and
drivers of the bread wagons. This
scheme worked we'll, and the wagons
had to travel tortuous mountain road
so difficult that it became a serious
question whether the army could live
and fight at Chattanooga.
But there were schemers in the Yam
kee camp, and hunger is sharpener of
wit Far down the Tennessee. west Of
the town, lay Hooker's Federal corps.
In front of Hooker. Lookout valley
stretched away to Browns Ferry. near
Chattanooga. This valley and Lookout
mountain on it's southern side were &C.
cupied by Longstreet's Confederate
troops. two brigades placed there as a
support to the sharpshooters. whose
line extended across the eastern or
Chattanooga outlet of the valley. AS a
further backing for the sharpshooters
to guard them from sudden attack by
mounted Federals the Confederates
planted battery on the eastern point

HOLD THE SCHOOLS.

We are informed that Mr. House

concluded visit Of the schools on
this reservation, has recommended
the abolishment of the Wild Rice
River and Pine Point boarding
schools.
We are not certain as to the truth
fulness of this report and we hope
it is incorrect. How ever if it is true
we must admit our surprise at what
seems to us retrogrcsSive pro-
position. as, in such an event, we
cannot see any logical reason for
such a move at this time. The
Wild Rice River and Pine Point
schools are attended mainly by
full-blood pupils whose parents
are, for the most part, very poor,
and who are, at best, unable TO pro-
perly provide for their children,
especially during the long, cold,
dreary winter months. Hence the
great need of schools where such
pupils can be clothed and fed dur
