CONGRESS OF ACTUARIES
MORTALITY INVESTIGATIONS DIS
CUSSED BY THE DELEGATES.
Exaggerated Report of the Death Rate
at Havana Denied by the Cue
ban Minister. =

NEW YORK, Sept. lat the second
days session of the Fourth International
Congress of Actuaries there a general
discussion concerning desirable subjects for
future mortality Investigations. Emery Nc
Clintock, of New York, spoke of the work
of the committee of the Actuarial Society of
America having charge of the recent in
vestigation into the experience of thirty
four life insurance companies with ninety
eight classes of risks, and President Pier
son called upon Carroll d. Wright, United
States commissioner of labor. who said in
part: During the last three or four years
1 have been frequently asked to furnish a
rule or measure of damages to be applied
when man is killed in some mechanical
trade. The courts are without the rule and
1 am unable to supply it. 1 think. how
ever, that with the assistance of actuarial
skill such a rule may be supplied so that
we may have fairly correct tables showing
the expectancy of life In the various trades
Such d work by the actuarieS of this and
other countries would knit the ties between
the insurance companies and the people.
1t needs the actuaries of the different
countries to ascertain with reasonable ac-
curracy these expectancy tables
President Pierson read the following tele-
gram from Senior Quesada, Cuban minister
at Washington: In justice to my country
l beg you TO say to the congress that Mr..

mortality of Havana are not correct.
send by mail publications of the sanitary
departments of Cuba showing how hasty
and unfounded are his remarks. They show
the mortality to be at the annual rate of
about twenty per thousand. During last
June 1t was at the annual rate of eighteen
and five-tenths per thousand
On Monday Mr.. Hoffman, who is univer-
sity lecturer of actuarial subjects, said in
part: when We are told by a secretary
of war that the mortality in Cuba is not
more than that in New York city, 1t does
not require actual knowledge to cause one
to smile and to know that it is nonsense. -
He also declared that the statement that
the death rate of the city of Havana is no
greater than that of Washington was I'M
| true and that for some time to come the
death rate of Havana would be from so to
100 per cent. greater than any Northern
| city.

in ST. LOUIS NEXT YEAR
ARMY OF THE PHILIPPINES TO MEET
AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
Address by Gen. Irving Hale, Presi-
dent of the SOciety-New Ritual
Adopted.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 1.-The Army of
the Philippines held two hours session
to-day. and selected ST. Louis as the place
for the next annual reunion. In an address
of some length Gen. Irving Hale delivered
a glowing eulogy on the work of the army
in the Philippines. and then discussed pend
ing legislation of the convention. General
Hale scored a hit in his address when he
declared that the National Society of the
Army of the Philippines was here to stay,
and that it must never allow itself to be
absorbed. He said:.
AN important matter for our considera-
ton is the relation of this society to the
several other societies Of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war. We must cooperate with them
so far as possible, and no doubt in time
many of them will combine with others.
But it must be understood that We must
never merge this society into any other.
1t has a distinctive character, and is des-
tined to live and grow in American history.
General Hale took up the question of his
own succession in SO direct way that 1t
is not likely he will be reelected to the
presidency. He said that he did not be-
lieve in the principle of one man holding
Office too long. There is much talk of
making General Charles King president,
Lieutenant MacRae. Of Council Bluffs, first
vice president, is also mentioned for the
presidency.
General Hale, in his address, spoke in
favor OF the retention of Secretary Schultz
He also favored change in the constitu-
tion which would admit contract sur
geons to membership. Secretary Schultz S
report showed that during the past year
new camps have been organized in fourteen
different States.
The report of the committee on new ritual
was adopted.
Letters from President Roosevelt Gen.
Miles and Admiral Dewey were read.
Tomorrow will witness the parade of
the veterans. preceding which there will be
a brief business session. In the evening
a public meeting will be held at which Gen.
Hale will deliver an address.

A drunken man boarded an Indiana and
Columbia avenue car last night and with
a sigh of relief settled down in his seat
for a little snooze, for he was tired from
his hard walking with MS heavy load.
Street after street was passed and still the
man, who had freely imbibed, slumbered
peacefully, regardless of the constant cries
of the conductor as crossings were passed.
At the end of the line the car stopped and
the conductor tapped the man on the back
several times, but still he slumbered on.
Several hard shakes were necessary to
bring the hard drinker to a realization that
his journey was at an end and, as he STUN
bled off the running board of the car, he
huskily said, "W'er nell am I?' You

he prepared to ring the bell for the motor
man to go ahead. But the man demurred.

Captain Hoffman, Survivor of First

Among those who are attending the yacht
races is old Captain Henry Hoffman, the
only survivor of the crew which sailed the
America in 1851. Captain Hoffman is
millionaire, but with his accumulation of
dollars his interest in affairs nautical has
never ceased. The grizzled old veteran of
the seas, who. when a boy of sixteen was
a member of the crew of the old America
which won the cup which has since never
been lifted" takes a keen delight in the
struggle waged of Sandy Hook. Although
mere boy when the America sailed out of
British waters with the cup safely slowed

Another distinctive New England product
gets honorable mention abroad-the New
England ''johnnycake." Consul Jackson, at
La Rochelle, France, declares that the in
PRODUCTION of this old Puritan delicacy
would prove a profitable enterprise because
cornmeal is almost unknown by the Pari-
sian connoiSseurs. According to our census
reports there are several thousand superfiu-
Gus women in this State. that is, women
who cannot be married owing to the race
suicide of disappearing man. Since they
cannot all be schoolteachers, why not set
them to work making johnnycake for for
eign consumption? Consul Jackson is a real
discoverer. and if he has solved the super
fiuous woman problem in the prose of a
johnnycake industry as successfully as j.
G. SAKE solved 1.-The superfiuous man" prob
lem in poetry, there need be no idle, unem-
ployed women in this State.
Schools to teach the art of making john
nycake should arise i'm every village. city
and town, and even the natives should re-
cultivate their sometime fondness for this
old New England staple. Out of the desert
of the French ennui comes the cry for the
mamma of johnnycake, and who knows but
what this may be the very base to build up
the French effeminacy and give IL that ro-
business that only Indian cornmeal can
give?

AccessOries of Dress.

New York Times.
A white or figured organdie gown, If
very simply made and lace only used as
a trimming, may be altered by the adj
dition of various accessories as to play
the part of several frocks. A belt made
of several straps of narrow black velvet
on white lace and having many short
loops and long ends, a lace stock with
black velvet drawn through its meshes,
and a fichu of chiffon or lace with mar
row velvet ribbon. and perhaps little mar
now arm bands to match-these carefully
adjusted to simple frock will work Won
GERS. Another set Of different style, and in
liberty satin ribbon matching some color
note in the figures of the frock, will work
still another transformation. In the same
way a white or black hat of the large fiat
style may have it's trimmings changed to
match the gown IT is TO be worn with, and
with the still further aid of various veilings
one hat may do good service for a half
dozen different gowns. A little taste and
Judgment are often equal to much ready
money in matters sartorial.

bound, you never did, for the reason that
all contraltos are dark. For a matter of
twenty years / have observed the human
voice, and 1 have come to the conclusion
that the coloring of person has some sort
of influence upon the vocal organs. Blonde
persons with blue eyes, ruddy compilations
and yellow hair incline to have high. sharp,
metallic voices-soprano voices. The black
haired and dusky incline to have rich,
deep mellow voices. l won't go so far as
to say that i can tell by woman's APP
pearance what type of voice she has, but l
will say that / can usually give a pretty
good guess as to her voice. To be sure

brunettes with high ones, but have only
seen this rarely. Never in my life have
seen a blonde contralto-a naturally blonde
