American Slang In French:

More than one friend Of Paul, du
Chaillu knows why. he died poor.
Though large sums of money were Civ
en- him by persons who believed in his:
work, he was equally generous in giy-

Paris many stranded Americans owe
their return passage to his generosity.
He used to laugh himself sometimes at
the manner in which he was work ;"
One night at the Alhambra, in Lon

sportive but impecunious Doung men

In ACCORDANCE with a law passed at
the last session Of the legislature, the
state began carrying nearly 100000 of
insurance risks on July l, and will grad
ually increase this to $5,571 300 as poll
cies in force expire. Insurance Commits
sioner Host estimates that the actual
cash valuation of the insurable property
of the state is $6,191,OO0. The law re
quires that this property be insured at
80 per cent Of its actual cash value,
which means that the insurance must be
1851 800. Risks now in force on state
property and held by private insurance
companies aggregate $2,6O1, $50, and the
state is carrying the difference between
this and the 90 per cent of the actual
cash value of it's insurable property or
S297O350 1t is expected that under
the new law the states interests will not
only be better safeguarded than at pres
ent, but that twice the value of risks can
be carried for about the present expense.
The law creates what is known as a state
insurance fund which is to be credited
with 80 per cent of the average pre-
miums that would be charged by any re-
sponslble insurance company for carry
ing the insurance in question. The state
insurance fund will start out with bal
anCe of Sc, 12l.75, which will be gradually
increased as policies now in force expire,
Most of the policies will expire next
year, though some run into 1905.

THE governors ambition for a third
term is drawing fire from the press in all
parts of the state. The Oshkosh North
western, The Madison Journal and the
Lacrosse Chronicle are especially vigor-
Gus in denouncing his willingness to
break wholesome precedent. There is
certainly no such good result from his
administration as to justify him in ask
ing such exceptional favor. He has only
succeeded in introducing discord and
distrust into political and business Cir
cles where harmony and confidence pre-
vailed before. Taxes are higher than
ever before and the whole system of as
sessment is thrown into chaos. A pre-
tended antagonism between classes has
been touted until i'll will has taken the
place of kindly relations. In fact, no
one cares to see the governor renom-
mated but himself and the few hundred
appOintees whose fawning has yielded
them thrift. Let US have new deal

instead Of tear asunder- Whitewater

stamp has been approved by the post
master general and the bureau of print
ing and engraving is already at work on
it. The portrait of Washington which
appears on the wocent stamps of the

that the lines will be charter, owing to
the use of red ink, that color having
been determined upon by the Universal
Postal union for all stamps of the de-

bondhoider that he might consider as

than the one last received but the last
one will probably receive favorable
